MIR. CLAYTON.

The nl-health of Mr.. CLAYTON. it is thought,
will induce a resignation of his seat in the Cabi-
net. The President desires TO retain him until
the existing difficulties between Great Britain and
the United States are adjusted. We regret to see
the existence Of circumstances, which call for the
withdrawal of this eminent statesman. His ser
vices in the Cabinet have been no less valuable
than his important labors in the other departments
OF the Governments; and the administration cam
not well spare so efficient and valuable an aid. Il
is 1umored that he is TO he succeeded bv MIR.
Winthrop; this, however, is mere conjecture; but
should 1t prove true, we venture TO assert. that
MIR. Winthrop will discharge the high and impor-
tant duties which devolve upon the Secretary of
State, with credit to the department and honor to
himself. Still, we shall regret to hear of the re-
S~ignation of MIR. Clayton.

THE GREAT TELEGRAPH CASE.

The case of +. o. J. Smith and others, re-
presenting Morse's patent, praying an injunc-
tion against certain infrmgements Of House's
invention, lately tried in the us. Circuit
Court, at Boston, has been decided against
the plaintiffs. make the following extract
from the opinion of Judge Woodbury. in the
case, explanatory oi the principal points of
difference between the two invenions:
Now has this patent been violated by the
defendants! The defendants insist they
have used nothing which was not open and
public before the date of Morse's invention
Whilst shielding the public in this right, we
must not allow any one TO use the Inventions
of Morse without his assent. Houses ma
chine appears unlike Morse's and-iis work
differs in using two new powers. Whilst
Norse's is simple, that of House is so compli-
Gated as 10 require days of attention by me-
chanics to understand. Whilst Morse's is
speedy, House gives lightning to Roman let
,ers his speed OF breaking and closing is
much greater than Moses and without this
greater speed he could not accomplish his OBJ.
ject. This is not the same system as Morse's
and is more like that of Alexander ..-..
Morse's machine traces the signs intended: j:
the type or the lever at one end does so, and
The pen at the other also. Houses machine
does not do this 1t acts at both ends by sig
mails, and traces nothing This new power of
axial magnetism, the invention of which is
claimed by Mr.. House, aids IN transferring
this so as 10 have it printed, and The U mag
net of Morse wonld be utterly 4 efficient for
This purpose. Houses is d signal and print
ing telegraph, and Morse's is writing ,ele-
graph. The electro magnetism between the
two points has been used long before Morse,
and therefore no Infringement Of his inven-
lion. House produces in his machine new
results, and cannot be considered as an equiv
alent for Morse's, as he uses neither the pen,
the lever, nor the s,enographic alphabet 10
translate the signs, as appears from the tes,i-
mony OF Prof. Henry, DR.. jackson, Prof Hare
Burden, Hibbard, Claiming, ect. His honor
then commented on the originality and nov
city in Houses machine of axial magnetism
and the use of the airiubes and condensers,
aud expressed himself astodhded, in examin-
ing this case, 10 find that SO much which he
had supposed 10 have been near an original in
teegtaphing, was not of late origin orsdrved
from Mr.. Morse, as electro magnetism; wires.
ect, but that the inventions of Morse, lay in
IA different place from what he had formerly
supposed r1i'oa H' ssa7sis .a. HaEh
Morse's leading novelties, his honor thought
were-lst' the local circnls; I'd, writing al
distance by electro magnetism, 4Ih, the
slenographic alphabet Neither the electro
magnetism, or The Ronar letters or the
printing apparatus were invented by Morse,
The local circuits, and the sienographic al
phabet were not used BY House, or the writ

Swift suddenly Quilted Pope, with whom
he was residing at Twckenham, and reach
ing his home, was doomed to find his Stella
upon the verge of the grave. Till the last
moment he continued at her bedside, esinc-
ing the tenderest consideration, and per-
forming what consolatory tasks he might
in the sick chamber. Shortly before her
death, part of conversation between the
melancholy pair was overheard. "Well,
my DEAR" said the Dean, ssif you wish it,
it shall be owned," Stella's reply was
given in fewer words. ST as too iate."---
'.On the 2Stb of January" writes one Of
the biographers of Swift, "Mrs. johnson
closed her weary pilgrimage, and passed to
that land where they neither marry nor
are given in marriage" the second victim
of one and'ttie same hopeless and consum-
ing passion. ,yairIsN a H1,'siuqo9
Swift stood alone in the world, and for
his punishment, was doomed to endure th,
crushing solitude for the space of seventeen
years. The interval was gloomy indeed
From his youth the Dean had been subject
to painful fits of giddiness and deafness.--
From 1876 these fits became more frequent
and severe. In l740 he went raving mad,
and frenzy ceased only to leave hlm a more
Pltlable idiot. During the space OF three
years, the poor creature was unconscious of
all that passed around him, and spoke but
twice. On the 18th of October, 1745,
God mercifully removed the terrible spec
tacle from the sight of man, and released
the sufferer from his misery, degradation
and shame.

LUDIcRoUs.-A young itinersnt preacher,
IN the constant habit of declaiming great
deal about the Creator, and especially about
the first getting upof man, whenever he wish
ed TO display his native eloquence to a good
advantage, was one day holding forth TO "a
mixed congregation in a country school-house.
Becoming warm and enthusiastic as he pro.
ceeded, it was not loug before he reached his
fayorite theme, and started of in something
like the following style: a.. .f u.#-
"And when the world was created, and
the beasts of the field, aud fowls of the air
were pronounced very good, God said: Let
US make man" And he formed man after
his own likeness, and declared him the no.
blest Of all the works of his hands
And he made woman also, and fashioned
her in the exact image Of man, with little
variation .. .... .. .. y...
"Ihdnk the Lord for the variation ~ shout
ed an old sinner, who sat over in the amen
corner of the room, at this interesting iunc-
ture of the discourse. .
The effect was perfectly ludicrous and ir-
resisiibe. The preacher dropped the sub
Ject where he was interrupted, and was new
er heard TO alude to it during subsequent
ministry OF forty years.
