MYSTERIES OF THE TELEGRAPH.-The mag
netic telegraph will forever remain a mystery to-
the great mass of the people, and the pardonable
ignorance which people display concerning it. often
gives birth to curious remarks. Not long ago, an
old lady entered O'Reilly's office in Philadelphia,
and said she had message to send to Wheeling
In few moments her note was deposited in
dumb waiter, and ascended in a mysterious man.

the old lady, with her eyes bent upon the ceiling.

seems possible that that there town lies in that
direction When will get an answer, Mr.. Tele-
graph?"
81 can hardly tell ma'am; it may be two hours"
The old lady went-away and returned exactly in
two hours. Just she entered the door, the
dumb waiter came through the ceiling.
"There is your answer ma am" said the clerk.
The old lady took the neat yellow cn5elope in
her hand, with smile of mingled qualification and
astonishment.

BARK Observation-Disclosures have been for
warded to Commodore Aulick, commanding the
East India Squadron, to send of the vessels of
his command to the island of Formosa, for the pur
pose fasceanng the facts of the wreck ofthe bark
Coquette, Capt Prescott and the treatment Of the
crew. The C. left Shanghai in September, ls49.
for Canton, in company with two briggs Al few days
after their departure a severe typhoon arose, and
the Coquette with the two brigs, never reachedthe
port of their destination. Recently two seamen
were taken by an English vessel Of war from the
island of Fornosa. They state that the bark Co
quette with brig had been wrecked on that Island,
and that the crews were either murdered or made
prisoners. There is every reason to believe that
all on board still survive, from the fact that Capt.
Prescott accomplished linguist, and that he
had on board passenger, missionary, who had
been many years in the East Indiei, and would
have, from the fact an influence over the natives of
Fomosa.

AN IRIsHMAN's LosIc.-The extent to which
reduction of our present tariff of duties ON spiritu-
Gus liquors, would affect their consumption may be
well illustrated by the logic, once heard having
been made use of by son of Erin, at Troy, in the
State of New York. He was about purchasing
stove from Yankee, which among many other
patent qualities, it was recommended to possess,
was that it consumed less fuel by one-half than
others in ordinary use. The Irishman soon came
to decision, Faith and sure then, I'll take two
and save the use of fuel altogether" Why not,
Mr.. Editor, take off the duty altogether, and so
destroy the consumption. KAUAI

A MAN OF BUsINEss.-At the Greene County,
New York, Agricultural Fair, an address was made
by COL Zadock Pratt, from which we take the fol-
lowing passage:
sand now viii show you the advantage those
dreary hemlocks have been to the farmers OF our
mountain town. Since first engaged IN farmin g
it has been my lot to employ over fifteen thousand
wears of other mems labor; army of thirty thou
sand men have employed, and have paid those
men, for their labor alone, over two million hve
hundred thousand dollars. have cleared over ten
thousand acres of land, used over two hundred
thousand cords of hemlock bark, and paid over
half million dollars for it Used and worn out
five hundred horses, and one thousand yoke of
oxen Used two hundred thousand bushels ofoats,
one hundred and twenty thousand tons of hay
thirty thousand barrels of beef and pork, and nearly
one thousand barrels of -four, and potatoes without
measure or number. have tanned one million
two hundred and fifty sides of leather: my usual
disbursement is over five thousand dollars per day,
and have used in my business here over ten mil
lions Every laborer received his money, yea,
every man his penny, in peace: and to the credit
of this community be it said that have never had
side of leather stolen, and never was chosen de-
fendant in law, on account of my business transac-
tons, during my residence among you The great
object Of my living is to be useful. Live with your
neichbor, and not on him. Allow me - conclude,
gentlemen and ladies, by congTatnlating you upon
the rich Blessings of health, power and prosperity,
which snrround you; and may succeeding genera
tons do as much as yoq have done towafds national
wealth and industry, whchare thessfeguards to our
independence.

For the Polynesinn.

Mr.. EDITOR.-The last Polynesian contains
grave accusation from his Excel r. c. Wyllie
against the Hawaiian Temperance Society," This
accusation coming from one who processes SO much
love for truth and candor viii doubtless carry great
weight to the minds of many. The reputation of
this society is very precious to many in this COM
munity. The charge should, therefore, be substan-
tiated or withdrawn. 1t is contained in the fol-
lowing words. 81 fear in some instances of back
sliders, even of those who have held high offices
in the society, its zeal has led to persecution; it
[the society has treated such baeksders as out
casts and not frail, but still reclamable by
Kindness their characters have been destroyed the
bread has been wrested from their mouths; no
bowels of compassion have been moved towards
them their children and thus they have been re-
duced to the state of hopeless sots." That is, in
plain English the society pursues its fallen, errng
members with ,citLful oppression and erueity-it
means this or it means nothing. This is surely
serious accusation, and iftrue, should bring down
upon the society the adherence of all good men,.
And was not this the design? We would call up
on his Excellency, therefore, to substantiate the
accusation by veritable facts and witnesses, or
stand before the society and the world as public
,landerer. AMEMBER OF THE II. T. SociErr.

G Speaking of the present prosperity and
rapid progress made by the United States within
the last fifty years. and speculating Upon her future
destiny, the North American Review makes the
following just remarks:
Possessing all these elements of progress, we
shall go from strength to strength until we fall
by our own sins. Small nations may be devoured
by large ones-without, as far as we can see, any
fault of their own but great and powerful nations
fall only by their own sins. The only enemies
they have to fear are the vices they cherish within
their own bosoms."

WINGS OF WIRE.-The mystery-the secret OF
the electric telegraph-is simply this. Two handles
serve to break and to re-unite the current OF the
electric spirit each breakage causes a needle,
swinging above the handles, to move. Another
similar needle, miles away, moves at the same In
stant in the same way. Different amounts of mo-
ton of this needle are understood to indicate GER
tain letters and thus the telegraph people talk to
one another, by spelling what they have to say,
letter by letter. Theirs is new calling, and a
curious one, too. They hear the strangest and
earliest news. With hands upon the handles of
the instrument, and sharp eye upon the dial, the
work goes on; it would be in silence, but for the
noise made by the instrument. Jerk jerk 60 the
handles Chop chop! chip chop are the sounds
heard in response, as little cylinder moves, and
metal meets metal, to break and complete the cir
cult.
At all chief railway stations, on all the chief
