A Locomotive Electric Telegraph.

Science in Italy, strange as it may sound, ap-
pears to be actually outstripping progress" in all
other quarters. In the matter of electric tele-
graphs, we find that they are there even throw
ing the great telegraphic theatre of the United
States of America in the shade. We learn from
the intelligent correspondent at Genoa of the
Newark .3dpertiser, that one Chevalier Boneh
has invented, and had in May practically demon
strated locomotive electric telegraph The
problem was solved under the patronage of the
Sandman government, on the railway between
Turin and Montcalieri-a distance of six miles
on the afternoon Of the 4th OF May, when, for the
first time, locomotive running at full speed re-
peatedly exchanged messages with the station
whence il started. The writer says:
"The questions and answers were varied and
repeated during numerous trips, without single
fault, and the inventor finally announced his COM
plete success TO the Ministers of Public Works at
Turin, from running at the rate of a mile in
two minutes.
"The ordinary wire-lne is thus superseded by
this demonstration of the practicability of using
the common iron railway track as a conductor OF
electricity generated by portatable machine.
But this simple and ingenious invention of Italian
genius has still more important bearing. The
writer asserts that, by means of it, not only may
running trains be Instantly arrested by communi-
cations from the stations, at whatever distance;
not only may the central and way-side stationary
agents hold intercourse with them at will, at any
point of the route, or in any stage Of their pro-
gress, but the opposite trains may communicate
at any moment, without regard TO distance or
rapidity Of movement with each other, before or
behind. Thus, through communications between
themselves, and with the stationary agencies on
the route, collisions may be efectually prevented
and warnings be given Of distractions or de-
rangements on the road. ;"
II all this be the fact, it would seem impossible
to desire anything more for the security of pas
sengers and we in the United States know better
than any other people how to appreciate such
security. This plan of converting railways into
telegraphic lines, and making the electro-mag-
netic machine an attachment and servant of the
locomotive, opens new and boundless prospects of
usefulness for both, while il serves to indicate that
limits can be assigned TO the progress Of human
skill and science. This Bonelli method of opera
ting with the railway telegraph is not yet made
public; but, as an evidence of his substantial pre-
tensions, it is mentioned that he has lately re-
ceived the medal of the London Society of Arts
and Industry for the application Of electricity to
Jacquard's loom, which effects a saving of at
least rs per cent. He is the government director
of the Sandman telegraphs.

Too Anxious, by Half.

An amusing affair happened lately between a
coal dealer and purchaser. The latter was very
anxious to see that the former did not cheat him,
so he (the purchaser) inspected the weighing OF
the coal himself, and felt perfectly satisfied that
he got his full allowance, without any desire on
the part of the coal doaler to ''shave." How
ever, while the coal was weighing, the driver OF
the team could not help laughing, aware at the
time that the purchaser was particular about his
full weigh Of coal. The purchaser noticing the
laughing of the driver, asked him, when he re-
ceived his coal, what it was all about; 50 the
driver told him: "Why," said he, "when your
coal was weighing you were standing on the scales,
and was weighed with it." els it possible' why,
! weigh nearly two hundred pounds!" "Well,
sir" said the driver, "you are sold" eyes, .
was the reply, "and nave bought myself too"

Within a cedar's brancby studs.
lis old gray grass, inlaid with hair,
The summers sun had withered up,
And autumn's acorns still were there,
Though snow had brimmed its tiny cups.
When then? heard pilgrim hymn;
And half forgave the long neglect
When perched upon the threshold RIM
A ltle fealhered architect.
And straw by straw the walls he wrought,
And hair by hair the floor he spread
And when his blue bird wife he brought,
They slept within the nuptial bed
Oh. how loved my pranksome guest

With Jealous care | fenced their nest;
And watched them as they sang or flew.
So April passed /; and gentle May
Went murmuring by with leaves and bees !;
And two small blue winged chicks had they
When summer broadened on the trees.
My. very solitude had made
The tiny household seem more sweet;
And often 10 the bank strayed
To watch the nestlings chirp and eat.
But when the palsied autumn came,
And shook the bo ughs, and barred the wood,
scarce the feathered brood could blame
Though void their puny wigwam stood
For summer friends had come like these
Like these the summer friends have iiown
When stormy winter stripped the trees,
They left the cold and me alone.

Nice, Italy, that during the last season, while
Mr. Van Buren was in that city, hearing that
earthquakes were formerly prevalent in that part
of the country, but no shock had been felt for a
number of years, told his Italian host that for the
rarity and novelty of it, he would like to have a
.small shake" happen while he was there.
SureNnough, in few weeks thereafter, in the
dead of night, the whole city and mountains com
menced rocking, and the inhabitants, in the
greatest CONSERVATION, fled to the streets Among
others in the park, which is near the hotel, was
MIR. Van Buren, in primitive costume, and in
high state of excitement. The ex- President and
the citizens passed the balance of the night in
the streets, and he was perfectly satisfied with

THE BLOOM or AeE.--A good woman never
grows old. Years may pass over her head, but
If benevolence and virtue dwell in her heart, she
is as cheerful as when the spring of life first
opened to her view. When we look upon good
woman, we never think of her age; she looks as
charming as when the rose Of youth first bloomed
on her cheek. That rose has not faded yet, it
will never fade. In her neighborhood she is the
friend and benefactor. Who does not respect
and love the woman who has passed her days in
acts of kindness and mercy We repeat, such a
woman cannot grow old. She will always be
fresh and buoyant in spirits, and active in hum
BILE deeds of mercy and benevolence. If the
young lady desires to retain the bloom and beauty
of youth, let her not yield to the sway of fashion
and folly; let her love truth and virtue, and to
the close of life she will retain those feelings
which now make life appear garden Of sweets
ever fresh and ever new

A MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH WITHOUT WIREs.-
An Italian gentleman at Turin has just discovered
and shown, by numerous successful experiments,
as is reported, that the railway track makes an
excellent substitute for the telegraph wires, and
that any train carrying along with small bat
terry and apparatus, can communicate TO and fro
with the stations before and behind while going
at full speed This application of the telegraph
will probably be immediate, universal, and Of
immense value. One train meeting another can
communicate directly with it, and through both
approaching each other at the rate Of sixty to a
hundred miles an hour, they can herald their
coming to each othor at an infinitely greater
speed, converse backward and forward, and make
arrangements for passing or stopping as they
draw near. IL anything detains train, il can
telegraph its whereabouts, if an accident or OBJ
struction occurs, il can send for assistance, and
warn trains approaching or overtaking.
