The HUGHEs' TELEGRAPH.-This instru-
ment Is printing telegraph, being the only
practical one, except Houses in existence,
and in every respect superior to that.
lst. 1t prints the despatch in Roman char
acters-the person to whom the despatch is
sent receiving it as it came-not copied rs in
Morse's.
ID 1t prints with one wire both ways sim
ultaneously-that is, any Office can receive a
despatch at the same time that it sends, aud
not interfere in the slightest degree.
81 1t prints very rapidly, printing, in or
dinary dispatches, about one hundred letters
per minute; and, if printing both ways, four
hundred per minute.
18th. 1t works with less current and on lon
ger circuits than any other instruments now
known; as it uses the holding power Of elec
tricity (which is one hundred times more
powerful than the attractive at the distance
of l. 16 of an inch) all that the current per
forms is to hold an armature stationary at the
moment the current is broken. The arma-
ture is set free, and is returned by mechanical
means
5th. 1t sends and receives secretly that is,
any office Tor all but the one you wish to com
municate with can be cut out so that it Is ut
| terly impossible for any other than the one in
! tended to receive the despatch.
9Th Any person, without previous practice,
can send his own messsge-sIower, Of course
9TH The magnet, when adjusted, is not
much affected by the weakness or strength Of
the current-one adjustment lasting for long z
time.
Sth. Atmospheric electricity cannot throw
the instrument out of order, nor change the
letter intented-as it does in all other systems
now in use
9th. Each break Of the circuit prints a
letter-the only telegraph which prints with
one move ouly TO each letter. Morse's ma
chine averages FIVE breaks and closes to each
letter, while with Houses il requires twenty
eight breaks and closes to produce one revolu-
ton of the type wheel
10th. 1t will work with less perfect insula-
tion-the quantity of electricity required being
less than others, thus rendering it much easier
Of insulation.
llth. 1t certifes, at every revolution Of the
type-wheel, whether the message has been
received correctly, and whether the instru-
ment is operating with which you desire to
communicate.

tied him, and he was now able to be about.
L remained long enough to know that an
earthly heaven had grown up in that earthly
cot. Nathan Leeman told me that he had
over hundred thousand dollars, and that be
should take his parents snd brother 70 some
luxurious home, when he could find one TO his
taste.
That was some years ago. L have received
some letters from Leeman since, and he is set

v Cucumbers may be forwarded some

II Cucumlbers may be forwarded some
weeks, simply by planting them in the open
soil, placing around them, when up, four bricks
laid Aat-ways, ard laying over them a pane
Of glass The glass may be removed during
the day and replaced at night. The bricks
will retain portion of the heat absorbed Su-
ring the day time, and this, acting in fsvors-
BILE conjunction with the exclusion Of the night
air, will tend powerfully to accelerate the
development, and produce a vigorous action
of the system throughout it Melons, squsshes,
and other vines of a similar description, may
be advanced by the same very simple and
economical process. Broken glass, from the
shops, which will cost nothing, or at most a
mere trife, will answer for this purpose as
well as new, and will last for years Water
ing frequently and cOpiously, if the weather
be dry, with soap suds or diluted urine, as a

ageous Gypsum and pulverized charcoal
should be frequently sprinkled over the vines

WALKER IN NENGLAND.-English opinion is
very much exercised about W alker in Nicara-
qua, but the settled conclusion appears TO be
that it cannot be helEed; and the American
domination over Central America is sure to
follow. Eventually this will happen, for the
interests of this continent as well as the inter-
prise and commerce Of the world require the
1sthmus to be in hands which will make the
best use oft for the common good. This has
been foreshadowed as destiny ever since the
f,undatiOn Of the Unitsi States as a nation.
Walkers enterprise only denotes foregOne
conclusion, the realiIa alton Of which will, how
ever, be reached by other and better means.
The purchase Of Louisiana was the first step
towards its accomplishment; the purchase of
California, New Mexico and the Mesilla Valley
were natural sequences. The odium Of fiji
clustering can not stop it, nor will such enter
prises force it much In advance of the legiti-
mate time and period. The natural course
of human events are certain to mature it
