Loui. ko,.u.h-rhe Hunsari.n Chief

Louis Kossuth-The Hungarian Chief,
Was born April n, 1906 HE j. Of
Sclavonian and Msjjar origin; an orator
of great power and energy; and has ex-
hibited as a statesman much boldness,
tempered by prudence and sagacity. His
father was land-steward, and he himself,
in 1884, poor, obscure country lawyer.
In 1885, he was invited to conduct .
newspaper in opposition TO Austrian pole
cy; but government would allow no full
and free reports Of legislative proceedings
to be published. Kossuth learned stenog-
raphy !; and when the censors mu,ilated
his reports, many ardent reformers were
employed 10 prepare copies Of what
was done in the Diet, they were litho-
graphed and folded in letter form, TO be
mailed to all parts of Hungary: the peo-
pie met, listened, and were aroused; but
the government soon began to seize the
letters at the postoffice, and on May 2,
1887, Kossuth and several other reform,
ers were arrested, and he passed two
years in Jail waiting for his trial. In 1889
he was awarded third years impYison-
ment. In 1910 he stepped from prison
to take his place as chief Of the opposition
in the Diet. In 1941, Kos.uth's daily
newspaper, the Pesi Hirlap, had 1900
subscribers; and association, home manu-
features, the making Of public roads, and
getting ready for self-government and
freedom, were his themes. When Louis
Philippe was dethroned in lS48, Kossuth,
the soul of the Diet or national assembly,
pressed Austria for justice TO Hungary,
became its finance minister; and when
the committee of safety wa, chosen, he, as
its head, conducted the affairs Of his strug-
Cling country. ..

Music by Telegraph I'VE had the pleas
ure, this evening, Of listening to the trans
mission Of music by telegraph, over the
wires from Boston to New York. We
happened to he in The Office, No. 8 Hano-
yer street in this city, where there was
pause in business operations. Mr. W.
Porter, a young but skilful operator in
the Boston office, asked us what tune we
would have? We replied, "Yankee
Doodle;' and 10 our surprise, he immedi-
a,ely complied with our request. The in
strument commenced drumming the notes
Of the tune as perfectly and as distinctly
as a skilful drummer could have made
them at the head Of regiment, and many
will be astonished to hear that "Yankee
Doodle" can travel by lightning. We
then called for "Hail, Columbia when
the notes Of that national air were distinct
" beat off. We then asked for "Au!t
Lang Sine,' the notes or sounds of which
were also transmitted. A friend called
for "Old Dan Tucker" when Mr. Porter
also sent that tune, and If anything, IN
more perfect manner than the others
So perfectly and distinctly were TIT
sounds of these tunes transmitted, tia
good instrumental performers could hav'
had no difficulty in keeping time with tn
| instrument: at this end Of the wires

Prof. Mapes.


The editor of the Michigan Farmer at
tended the recent Agricultural Fair at Sy-
racuse, and, while there, fell in with Prof.
Mapes, the celebrated agricultural writer.
He gives an interesting account of his in
terview with him, and concludes it with
the following anecdote: ...
His Ginger speculation and Henry Clay.
About the time that Henry Clay was
laying out his strength to introduce what
is called the American system, Prof
Mapes then deeply engaged in trade, with
few others, made move and bought up
all the ginger in the country, with the cal
culation to have it, by little management
come in as a luxury, on which heavy
duty, under the new system, would be
laid. To thi, end the Prof. kept mum,
while the others interested, were active
in getting up the preliminaries necessary
to its being introduced as luxury, he
being beld in reserve as a -disipteresied

high duty list. -
At length the time came he knew tina

fixed every muscle of his face in its prop
er place, so as not to betray the slish,es
anxiety upon the subject. Mr. Clay how
ever had not proceeded far with his ques
tons, when he paused, and remarked, u"

the ginger trade; we will not trouble yo'

of certain Mr. land his wife,
once the belle of the West. The parties
were rus,icsting at Nahan,, boarding at

suspicious, and di,liked TO have his wife
exchange common civilities with any one,
One day he procured an open carriage, and
asked her to ride with him. She declined
because she was dressed thin and did moi
fancy an open carriage. He persisted
with his request, and she with her refu'
sal. Finally he drove away and asked
gentleman to 60 with him. Shortly after

and invited Mrs LTD 60 to tn

herself and Mr. L.; but they urge
her till she yielded. Now this nigh
