tan on one Of the Old temples OF science-"Let
no ono enter hero who has not studied
Geometry' He said, however difficult this may
association; for ALL il they could enter the temple Of
science without studying geometry were yet forced,
Hthey entered Cleveland, to pass through Euclid.
(This Was happy hit, and brought down the house
with vociferous cheering, thrice renewed It was of
higher application: The little town Of Euclid lies
seven miles east OF the city, The handsome ,t street
in the city-the handsomest think in the United
States-is called Euclid; and the railroad connec
ton, " which he had made alusion was but another
effect ola ludcrous travel through the tranguatons
and curves Of Euclid.) We fnd here he said proud
fabricsyour steamboats, your railroads; the for
crossing the lake, the other for avoiding IL. The
President closed ina beautiful and sensible speech
which we are wholly unable to report.

Naury, the chairman OF the Local Committee at
Washington, and Prof: j. II. G. Coffin Local Secre-
tary for the session at Washington, and giving Profs
Bache and Henry the liberty to name Local Com
mittee the association adjourned, to meet in the
city Of Washington ON the last Wednesday Of April,
1854. t r
have thus endeavored to give you literal view
Of this great body, and to report such papers
as clearly indicate its bent. The session has
been one Of harmony and general profit. All,
| believe, have been satisfied. The body is,
l think. but very little under the influence
Of cliques. The Standing Committee, as well
as al Of the officers, are gentlemen as young IS
should be entrusted with the responsible duties.
There are now nearly thirteen hundred memb er5
from all classes and conditions Of respectable mec
and embracing from the highest to the most Ord-
nary capacity. The association has been manfesty
too hurried in It's business, and nearly all Of the
members left this evening.
BY an invitation from VIM. Bross ESQ.,, of the
Chicago DAILY Press, . large number Of gentlemen
aud ladies' have gone, this evening" in the steamer
Cleveland, to Detroit, whence they will take the
ly sought by Mr.. Bross, who felt anxious that they
should see the b0aut full CITY of Chicago and have
further demonstration of the existence of the vast
West. The steamer and the railroad have, in a
highly honorable spirit given grataitous transit
both ways. Among those comprising the party were
Professor Bsche and lady, Professor Henry, Pro.
fessor Horsford and lady, Professor Coffin DR..
Gould, Professor Andrews, of Ohio, and many
Others Your correspondent was pressingly urged to
take the trip, a. an editor was deemed sine qua
mon. But have learned, after drinking railroad
dust through the space Of two hundred thousand
miles, that the name Of pleasure poorly requites for
oppressed lungs, enraged bronchials, scorched eye
lids and the thousand ills that the railroader is
heir to- to say nothing OF the staeness of
old after frequent visits
j cannot dismiss the connections of this meeting
without speaking in high terms Of the Weddel
House, where nearly all the members have been
quartered, and of the constant endeavors apparent
in all the attaches, to make the members easy,
showing, at the same time, generous appreciation
OF their position and dignity, ana commendable
eagerness to prove how truly the Weddell is entitled
to the patronage of the public. 1t suilices to say
that 1t Is in the hands of Mr.. Butts formerly of Nav
York. 1t is now three o'clock a. night, and my
weary soul would rest T. r.
