FROM A. CeTTAGE TO A THRONE
The Empress of Morocco is a native
Of Chaley, near Dole, in France.
where she was born on the 10th Of
November, 1920, in a poor. matched
cottage. Her name was Virgipie Lam
terEier. She went with her parents
in 1884 to Algeria, and the whole
family were taken prisoner by the
Moroceans Her father was killed,
and her mother died a short time
afterwardI The captors, dazzled ny
the great beauty of = Virginie,
spared her, and, by a concurrence
of romantic circumstances, the En-
peror's 4 son fell lin love with
her and made her his wife.
This Empress. has since sought out

Moroccani Court, to whiehO they are
now attached.

struck by the general appropriateness
of the interior. The floor Is made of
small rocks, the alternate red and
white of which forms curious check

ness in the air, but it is cool and
pleasant. The room is divided into
two compartments of equal size, the
separation being glass partition,
commencing at the street door and
running the length of the apartment
The right hand side of this partiti-
ton isutterly devoid of furniture. The
only object upon the bare

other compartment may be called, is
devoted to the exposure of the bodies.
Il contains four tables, with iron
frames and heavy marble slabs for
tops. Upon these marble tables the
bodies, after being stripped naked
with the exception of covering about
the loins, are laid on their backs.

The -TELEGRAPH.-The following
statement has been communicated to
us by gentleman acquainted with
the ia cts and isundoubtedly reliab BILE:
The application of electro magnet
ism, as a motive power was first made
by Mr.. Thomas Davenport, of Bran
don. Vermont, Being a poor man, he
sought assistance to experiment with
his discovery, and after submitting
his idea to several scientific gentlemen,
he called ON Prof Morse, who thought
the plan a feasible one. Prof. M.
furnished the means, and they both
experime nted some time in hopes to
make the application to machinery as
motive power successful. While
making these experiments, Professor
Morse conceived the idea of commu-
nicating messages by aid of the cleo
trio current. In consideration of the
assistance received, Mr.. Davenport
agreed that Prof. Morse might have
the full benefit and credit of the in
vention as applied to the communica-
ton of messages; Mr.. ID. reserving
for himself its application as motive
power. About this time he was offer
ed SOC, 900 fol his invention; but, by
the advice of friends who were will
ing to advance money for experiments,
he declined tie offer. A large amount
was thus EXPENDED without any salts
factory result and the idea was aban-
doned. Aftgward Mr.. d. thought of
applying the current to wires for mu-
steal purposes. and had completed his
arrangement. for having, an instru-
ment built when he died-a poor
man.-&. Albans { Vt.) Messenger.

Political Pilgrims 10 the South.

Senator Wilson is the first to set forth, with
wallet and staff, on political pilgrimage to
the South. This is well; but he ought not to
60 alone. Senator Sumner might safely &C
company his colleague from Massachusetts;
the Brookses are all dead. Old Thad Stevens,
before he dies, should see the lands which he
wants to confscate. Ben Loan and Mr.. Ashley
might travel down South together to advantages;
the latter might chance to pick up somewhere
that missing and longed for letter of Andy
johnson to JEFF Davis. General Butler and
General Banks might revisit New Orleans;
the former could find whether he left anything
behind him when he packed up and came
away. Horace Greeley might learn something
by conversing about free trade with some of
his old adversaries. William Lloyd Garrison
could see with his own eyes and at home the
Southern negro, whom he has talked and writ
ten 20 much about as "a man and brother"
or bother. Wendell Phillips should study
the march Of Sherman from Tennessee to the
Atlantic, and the march Of Grant from the VIII
derness to the Appomattox, In order to learn why
xhe names Of those great generals are dear to the
American people; and he might learn much
moro than be actually knows Of the relations
of the freedmen to their former masters. Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe has already gone far
South 10 see whether her descriptions of "Uncle
Toms Cabinn and 'Ilife Among the Lowly"
were exaggerated or not. Her brother, Henry
Ward Beecher, had better join her instead Of
going to Jerusalem this summer Theodore
Tflton and DR.. Choever and George William
Curtis could accompany him on lecturing
tour throughout the Southern States. If they
taught their hearers nothing they would all be
ant to learn something themselves. By all
means let them follow Senator Wilson as politi-
cal PILGRIMS to the South.

Of sunrise, sunset tho North Pole and the
