 As you -intmated in a late number of the Banner that communicatioTl9 n9, interesting subjects, unconnected wilsl poltIcs, would be acceptable now that the strife of party IS over for season, Ipropose occasionally to diversity ray letters with notices of matters pertaining to science and art, as well as light CT sketches of Metropolitan life, which may happily serve to ' throw a smile over the se were brow" Of your grave political dlsqulsl- tions.
 And first let me say few words about Morse's Magnetic Ielegraph-an agent more wonderful than Sleam-w which was so useful ly put in requisiton during the recent elec- tions People of all sorts had been so ab sorbed by the luctualing prospects of either party, as to overlook, in some measure, the ingenious mach ne to which they were ill., debted for the speedy intelligence of the hour; butnow when the din oi battle Is past, and the heat of party spirit ln some measure abated, every one among us begins to appre- ciate the services of this invisible courer.- It has been my fortune to be present in the Station Room here, several times, while the Telegraph was in operation; and much as had heard of it, l was not prepared to wit ness the rapdity of its communication.
 Imagine a grave, imperturbable-looking gentleman mounted on a platform, with small square mahogany box before him in which terminate the wires of the Telegraph. He seizes a steel spring fastened to the top of the box, and raps with It's knob upon little steel plate just under it, giving one rap for each letter in the message sent. Hardly has the pressure of the spring left the operator's fore finger, when mysterious sound of ma chinery is heard, series of small wheels and levers on the top of the box and outside IS set in motion, large spool of narrow white paper spins i;selfforth under the steel-style- the pen held in the invisible hand at Balt- more-the paper comes out stamped with the simple hyeroglyphics, which the operator translates and writes down with lead pen cil-and then the oracle is declared !-the question being sent and answered distance of eighty miles in about a minute!
 Only think of a couple of fellows, at such a respectful distance from each other, keep hp III illS way .--Olit lclI- ing the other to pause awhile in his discourse, until he steps out and eats half dozen oys- ters,
 was struck with the peculiarly subdued manner of the most excited parisians, when in the Telegraph room, during its operation. Men, who out i'll the crowded street were all excitement and noise, became, as 1t were, awe struck in the presence of this extraord- nary agent; as if their minds were ashamed of the petty ebullitions of political feeling before this august and prodigious triumph of man power over space and the apparent laws of nature. Honor then to Morse, the sue cessful candidate for American renownl
 NATURALIzATIoN.-Am most amusing scene says the Pleban, occurred ill Albany, just before the late exciting contest In one of the Courts of Record fine specimen of the Emerald Isle appeard, claiming the benefit of our laws of Naturalization. The whigs op- posed him, and instituted series of cross questions as to his admissbility. Our friend got tired of the Catechism; and to the last question, which ran after this wise" Have you not been out of the United States during the last five years ?'-he answered after a five minutes death-like pause, '' Yes D. Another pause 9-" We'll, where were you ;" Faith, was day and a half in Rhode ls- land , The expectant whigs sloped, and Patrick was naturalzed without further ques- tion As he walked out of the room he put his thumb to his nose with the customary gyrations.
 CURE FOR FouNpER.-Thc seeds of sun flower are the best remedy known for the cure of founder in horses. Immediately on. the discovering that your horse is foundered mix about pint of the whole seed ill his feed, and it will give perfect cure.

 WoMAN's CHARlrY.-That was beautiful idea of the wife oi an Irish schoolmaster, who, while poor himself, had given gialuitous in- snuction 10 poor scholars, but when inereas- ed in worldly goods, began 10 think that he could no, afford to give his service, for noih- ing. Oh.
