Imitators of the example OF PETER Coo

pie in giving away their moncy-erc making
their appearance from day to day The latest
instance Is that Of Sir FRANCIS CEossLtY Of Hall

Of Halifax public park, aud more recently lac

bic thing about this last act ~ that it IS accom-
panied with stipulation that the money thus
given shall be invested in United States Govern
meut bonds, aud that they shall not be abandon
ed for any other security until the Government
rcdcems them. In that case they are to be rein
vested either in other United States bonds, or IN
some good United States railway stock which
has paid a dividend 10 its original shareholders.
Sir FRANCIS is reported as saying that he re-
CARDS himself as q steward of whatever wealth
the Lord has given to him, and that the conyic-
ton has grown with him that there is no enjoy
ment which riches can secure that is TO b. oou-

II is well known that in the Territory Of
Wyoming women have the right to vote and to
st ON juries aud their exercise of these two
great civil functions has not been such as to in
jurc the cause Of woman's entire political cman-
cipation 1t is now proposed in the journals of
that enterprising Territory to elect woman as q
delegate to Congress. Why should this not be
done9 There is no law Of the United States that
would forbid woman duly elected from taking
her seat in the Hall Of the House Of Represon-
tatvcs. The presence Of such delegate, with
the refining and cvzing influence which she
could not fail TO diffuse on those around her,
would be most beneficial in its effect upon the
manners O. tue House. Let the experiment be
tried, and let us see il the coarse and brutal
men who form SO large portion OF the House Of
Representatives will dare TO make any objection
TO the new delegate.

We have received from Mr.. MAuLoS
telegraph. He tells us that the great
natural inexhaustible electrical element which
pervadcs all matter md space may be utilized
in mode to answer the wants and
purposes of man. There is, he says, nothing
more abundant and nothing more powerful, and
"the celestial and terrestrial conditions bear,
relatively and respectively, polarities that must
always exist to disturb the equilibrium or to
form q circuit" In the ordinary mode OF tele-
graphing, a wire is used to form one half OF the
circuit, and the other half is formed by the earth.
Mr.. Looms proposes, instead of this arrangement
to "penetratc the electrical element above the
earth or the element which surrounds our Garth
with its atmosphere, to form the other half OF the
circuit" This electrical stratum, he says, "can be
reached sufficiently for practical purposes at an
elevation Of sixteen thousand feet Its casual
indicative influences have enabled us at times to
telegraph without the aid of artificial batteries,
as il well known by all telegraphers, during the
| appearance Of the northern lights or a neghbor-
| ing thunder storm" Mr. Looms intends TO
draw regularly and constantly from this source
| BY invading this uneXplorcd field The
apparatus for this invasion aud for reach
| ing the teegraphic stratum at hegh
| of sixteen thousand feet above the surface
Of the earth, he does not explain; but i
cannot be very expensive since, as he tells us
some fifty thousand dollars is all that is neces
sary to construct and put in working order
telegraph that shall communicate from on'
hemisphere to the other, without the use O
wire or cable and without artificial batteries.
This being the case, we trust that Mr. LOOM
may soon be enabled to put his scheme into prss
