In FRANCE, our gifted countryman, Morse,
has been praised, and his ingenious vocabu-
larry for the telegraph mas been selected for
the very best among all the rival systems to
be applied to the Solar telegraph M Leseurre
sjust invented. M Leseurre is we'll qasli-
he'd to express an opinion on this point, for he
is one of the leading operators in the vast sys-
tom of telegraphs concentrated at the Minis,
try of the Interior, which acquaints the Gov
ernment with the daily news of all France
As the signs Obtained from the new telegraph
are flashes Of sunlight whose duration may be
regulated at will, Mr.. Morse's system of COM
binations of long and short dashes answered
at once so well that the inventor had no need
to tax his mind to frame new signs
A very gratifying compliment has been paid
to Com'r Lynch, United States Navy, by M
Boussingault in the Academy Of Sciences, and
the eminent academician paid merited trib-
ute to the memory of Lieut.. Beale, who fell
near Beyrouth, u martyr to science. A gen.
tleman, recently returned from a long excur-
sion in the East, brought with him some bot
ties Of the water Of the Dead Sea, which M
Boussingault examined, and this led him T.
speak Of Com'r. Lynch expedition, which he
declares has thrown more light on the climate
and topography Of the Dead Sea than any the
world has yet seen, although within the last
twenty years great many bold travellers have
explored that singular lake.

CURIOUS DEvIcE.-The Episcopal Church Of
st. Paul, in New Haven, Conn has in one of
its towers two stones cut into forms Of the ace
of clubs and ace of diamonds-devices taken
from pack Of cards. The explanation given
is this the architect first employed ia the
erection Of the building was a Deist, and a
man Of bitter cynical spirit. By way of bur-
lesque. he resolved to cut the stones for the
structure into such figures that a huge pack
Of cards might appear flaming out on the sides
of the sacred structure. By means Of scat
folding and other concealments, he veiled his
design from the building committee till the
walls were nearly carried up, and his practical
joke nearly played of. The discovery was at
last made, and the whole structure, Of course,
taken down. In the course of demolition, the
architect fell from scaffolding and was in
stsntly killed. A most luxuriant y'eodbine
mantles the present walls and nearly hides
the two stones above referred 10, which being
near the foundation Of the massive tower,
were suffered to remain.

tltiOn of James Watson, near Port Gibson,
Mississippi, may be witnessed an exhibition Of
memory that is truly remarkable. An African
girl about fourteen years Of age answers to
the name which heads this article. 1t is the
custom Of Watson to give rewards for over
work, and during the cotton picking season the
amount each hand picks is weighed twice per
day-noOn and night. This girl stands by the
oyerseer and listens to the number of pounds
announced TO each hand, and at night the re-
Her correctness is repeatedly put to the test
by Watson and others, who keep memoran-
dums during the weighing, and day or two
afterwards she is catechised and her memory
found perfect Mr.. Watson works from sixty
to seventy hands. What system Of association
this girl has to remember abstract numbers

E Barnes, of the Albany Morning Times,
tells very good story of the power of the
Philadelphia engines. In 1850 he was one Of
the cold Dilly' boys. and as such was very
frequently honored with the pipe. On ono
occasion Barnes W as playing a stream down
the gutter" which attracted the attention Of
large Newfoundland dog. The dog thought
he would play with the stream, and com
menced biting at it. Just here Barnes got q
good shot at him, and sent full stream down
his throat, and with such force that it passed
clear through the quadruped. Here Barnes
was requested TO " raise the stream" He did
so, aud up went the dog too. He endeavored
to slide down but it was no 60. Every time
he gained an inch he lost foot. At last the
boys were ordered to stop playing. They
obeyed orders, when down came the dog from
n height of some forty feet The moment he
struck the ground he put for home with a We
locity that could not have been increased had
Dutch oven and eight pie pans been fasten-
ed to bis tail

Johann c. w. q. Mozart, the greai..,
lodic genius that ever lived, was born At ssI,.
burg, in 1856. His parents were LeonoId
Mozart, n professional musician, and Ann.
Maria Perti, and were called the handsomest
couple ever seen in Salisbury Mossrt's pre
cocious genius showed itself In his third year
when he tried to pick out chords on the piano
oy the hour, TO please himself. At four he
learned pieces of music at six he composed
correctly and performed In public before the
hiec1or OF Bavaria and the Emperor Of France
one riIst at eight he had published two difi-
cu!t piano concertos, and at fourteen was sp-
pointed director Of the Archbisbop of Salts-
burg's concerts. After ysrious nrofessionsl
wanderings about Europe, he settled at VI
n, enna, where he remained until his death. In
l792, having, in his short life written an In
crdIble quantity of music and established him.
SELF as the first melodist in the world h
was little, slender, feeble man, with prom-
,hent piue eyes and white forehead, thick fair
hair, and long nose. He had almost a, great
a genius for arithmetic as for music. was .
good linguist, and skilful in oil manner, of
games.
He was Of a most kind and joviaI disposition
and fond OF all manner Of merriment and ex-
travaganzs. He once played comical Joke
upon his great cotemporary and good friend
piece Of music that he (Hsydn) could not ulsy.
Mozart wrote il, and Haydn, sitting down,
played away with contemptuous ease, until
suddenly, when the music had carried his
hands to the extreme ends Of his keyboard,
there appeared note to be played in the mid
die of il, utterly out Of reach. Haydn said
that nobody could play that. "Pshaw," said
Mozart, cit is perfectly easy" and taking
his place, when the critical time came, sud.
denly bobbing forward, he played the mac
cessible note with bis long nose. His miracu-
loUs musical memory was startlingly shown
upon his visit to Rome, where be carried of
in his head, upon bearing it once, all the mu-
sic of AlieSris celebrated Miserere, which
was only known to the singers in the Pope's
chapel, and forbidden to be copied, and which
contained many traditional effects, and the
popularity Of no perceptible rhythm. But
the young Mozart, only fifteen, wrote il down
on coming home; carried his copy and secretly
corrected it at another performance, and cleo
trlhed tho Musicians by singing il correctly
outside, insomuch that the astonished Pope
forgot to excommunicate him. Mozart mar
ried Constance Weber, a lovely and talented
singer, whom he won against the prejudice of
her friends, by means Of the great success Of
opera composed for the purpose, either the
IndOmeneO or the EnieUement de .SeratI
He lived with her in great happiness and
love.
