The LIGHTNING TELEGRAPH.-An-A As
sociati"n has been 81 ar,ed i'm New York and
Philadelphia To establish line ofthe Elec-
'ro Magnetic Telegraph, invented by Pro-
lessor Morse, between those two ciiies.-
The distance the wire is to be laid is 100
miles. The Association are to paw Pro-
fcssor Morse $500 per mile. or S2O, 900 for
the exclusive right between the two cities,
which is TO be surrendered to the United
States. If during the present session Con-
grcss shall assume the exclusive right of
establishing the Telegraph from Washing
ION to New York. The expense of laying
the wires is estimated at $500 per mile. u
mounting to S52 900, which with the pnr-
chase of tho riGht.wil make the whole cost
1000: keeping the Telegraph in opera
lion. which will Icqume two managers at
each end and contingencies, is put down
SlO.CNO, per annum.
Professor Morse estimates the power of
the Telegraph equal To communicating As
letters per minute, 81 300 per day. which,
al one cent a letter for postage, would yield
Sl3S.O0O per annum, dcducting one half
the year, or S!59. 900, if hut one fourth the
| capacity is employed. The average num-
hrr Of letters in The ordinary words, Of the
English language, is seven. Thus a telc-
graphic communication Of ten words would
cost seventy cents. 4 capital Of ST., 900,

| work to be commenced next June, and
! completed by December 1899. The rou,c
need nol he straight or level. and the wire
may follow the course of a Railroad, or di

he plan is to communicate electric shcks:
IN other words.tn SET lightning TO running an

contrivcd, as that The instant the shock is
given at one end, the wires will indicate on

application of the electric fluid to such a
purpose is highly scientific invention. and

head propensities Of the age are already
weary Of the slow progress Of comotives.

the difficulty will be preserving the line of
electric communication along ;rc wres.-
We opine thai after all the Semaphoric

fcclion 10y our worthy townsman, CAM
Parker, will hc found much more practico-
BILE and Efficient than riding post on streak

strongly suspect that Old Rip was in a pro-

wakened from his long sleep. He lately
jumped from his couch, and swore in his
wrath. that the Expunging Resolutions
should be erpunged instanier.

upon their heads. They did not cry out
