he was the inventor of the art of telegraphing by
recording at distance by means of electro mag

that the Balm line infringes upon his claims. The
court directed decree and injunction to be pre-.

DASIEL wrDsrER's FAnm.-In the course of

DANIEL WEBsTERs FARM.--In the course of u
biography of Daniel Webster, published in the
Boston Bee, the following anecdote occurs:
''In the vacation Mr.. Webster took his family to
visit mice little place which had been assigned
TO him by creditor, on the road from Meredith
Bridge to Meredith Village, containing five acres
more or less.' After riding over hill and dale, on
rough road ESQ the story goes,) he reached the
locality, and found-a log hut, with about half an
acre of the verest trash in the shape of rocks and
bushes 10 be seen anywhere in the Granite State!
This the extent of his mice little place very
nice, undoubtedly, to hold the world together but
of no conceivable utility for any other purpose
Without alighting from his carriage, the Lord of
the Manor called the old lady, whom he found in
possession tenant, TO the door, and after sundry
queries to whether she paid her rent regularly
and, if not, whether she should not be turned off
the place, Sc, and the old dame protesting that
she was poor and unable to pay that she had heard
that the owner very clever soul, and didn't
believe he would be 30 cruel as to turn her out of
house and home, &C., Sc, Daniel pulled sum of
money from his pocket, and assuring his tenant
that he knew the owner very well, told her to oc-
cupy the premises long che could afford for
the money he gave her, and be sure to take good
care of them! Whether Mr.. W. has visited his
mice little place since know not but it still re-
mains in his possession, and is known in the region
around about as Daniel Webster's Farm"

Highly Important to IOwa-Recognition OF
the Des MOines River Grant.

the Des MOines River Grant.
We mentioned the arrival here, GONE weeks ago,
of General Van Antwerp commissioner of public
works of the State of Iowa. with the object of en-
deavorng to procure final settlement of the ques-
ton to the extent of the Congressional grant OF
lands to that State to aid in improving the Des
Moines river. The matter has at length, we learn,
been settled by decsIon Vi the secretary Oh the
Interior, to recognise the claim of the State the
lands above the "Raccoon Fork" of the Des Moines
instead of limiting it from it's mouth to that point
and ordering sts Of those lands to be made for
his approval. This decision, as learn, confirms
the action had upon the subject by Mr.. Secretary
Walker, and reverses the subsequent and contrary
decision of Mr. Secretary Ewing.
This action secures TO the State large addition
al quantity of lands applicable to the object above
mentioned; and it is fortunate for Iowa that the
matter is thus finally and favorably settlod-it
being one of the first importance to her people 1t
will, VIC are told, enable the State beyond rea
Ronable doubt to improve the Des MONIES river

centrally through the whole extent of its ter

in the aggregate, not less than million and half

already contracted for. to be completed in four

This matter has been prosecuted with much en-
ergy and perseverance, by General Van Antwerp,
the commissioner Of Iowa, who will now have the

The British Exodus.

We give elsewhere the material portions OF
another remarkable article from the London
Times, embodying some of the many conclu-
sions which the continued flow of emigration is
at this moment forcing upon the attention OF
British editors and statesmen. The state
ments are in no respect essentially new,
but they are nevertheless important, because
exhibiting strong consciousness Of future
weakness, resulting from the loss of the bone
and sinew, which form the true elements of a
nations greatness. The only idea that has
hitherto existed in Britannia's mind in regard
to population has been that of redundancy. She
has fancied herself too rich in flesh and blood
and has counseled the opening of outlets to at
ford relief. Her people have been told that
they were too thick upon the ground, and
that nature and policy required migration
to more thinly peopled climes. The stern
dictates of necessity prompted compliance,
but for time it was limited, and betokened
dependency. BY and by, when the poor pio-
neers had surmounted their earliest struggles,
and had waited to their fatherland tidings of
the freedom and the substantial happiness en-
joyed in their adopted country, the tiny stream
expanded into broad current, which now flows
strong and ceaselessly. Whatever danger the
circumstance may imply to Britain, she wakes
up too late TO stave it off, She has sown the
wind by her disregard of the wrongs and mise
ries of her people; and retributive justice re-
quires that she should reap the whirlwind.

Improvement OF the Upper Mississippi.

The ST Louis IHtsAigsnesr furnishes the subjoined
account Of the proceedings of the convention held
at Huntington, Iowa, on the oath ultimo:
At the opening of the convention the committee
on resolutions reported the following resolutions,
which were at once unanimously adopted:
Resolved As the opinion of this convention, COM
posed of delegates from the States OF Illinois, Mis-.
souri,, Wisconsin,, and Iowa, and the Territory OF
Minnesota, that the river Mississippi ia great ma
tional highway, the control and jurisdiction OF
which have been reserved to Congress, and that il
Is the duty of the National Legislature TO make
such Improvements in the navigation of said river
as VIII place our commerce upon an equal footing
with that OF the Atlantic States of this Union.
Resolued, That the interests of nine States and
one Territory imperatively demand the prompt &C
tion OF Congress In making adequate appropria-
tons for the removal OF the distractions to the nav
CATION of the river Mississippi formed by the Des
Moines and Rock River rapids
Rescued, That experience and the testimony
of the navigators OF the Upper Mississippi demon
stratc the correctness of the surveys and the report
made by Lieutenant Lee in the years 1887 and '3S,
and that no doubt Id entertained by this conven-
ton OF the practicability Of the permanent i'm
provement OF the channel of the river at the Des
Moines and Rock River rapids, if said plans should
be carried out; but this convention, at the same
time that II gives this opinion refers the action
OF Congress and OF the officers TO whom the execu-
tion OF the work may be entrusted, asking only,
with all the earnestness that right and justice de-
Inand, that free and unobstructed navigation shall
be guaranteed to US.
ResoiUed, That the Senators and Representatives
In Congress, from the several States represented
In this convention, be- and they hereby respect
fully requested to use their personal and united
exertions to secure the early appropriation of an
amount of money which shall be adequate to COM
plete the removal OF the obstruction to safe and
speedy navigation of said river
The convention then engaged in discussion of
memorial to Congress, presented for its considera
ton by d. Rohcr, esq, of Burlington.
The business of the convention has been rapidly

feeling. The convention was addressed during the
forenoon by Hon. J. b. Bowlin, Henry w. Starr,
Judge Lowell of Dubuque, Colonel Stewart of
Missouri, and Hon. A. c. Dodge of Iowa. Before
the convention adjourned, resolution offered
by G. III. Ravens, of st. Louis, that the convention
should meet again year hence in st. Louis in fur
therance of it's object The memorial adopted
unanimously, and signed by the officers of the
vention.
