From the New York LEDGER
SAMUEL F. B. MORSE.
BY JAMES PARTON.

During the voyage of the packet
ship Sully from Havre to New York,
in October, 1882, conversation arose
one day in the cabin upon electricity
and magnetism. DR.. Charles 5. Jack
son of Boston described an experiment
recently made in Paris with an electro
magnet, by means of which, electricity
had been transmitted through great
length of wire, arranged in circles
around the walls of a large apartment.
The transmission had been instanta
neous, and it seemed as though the
flight of electricity was too rapid to be
measured. Among the passengers,
no one listened more attentively to
DR. Jackson's recital than New York
artist, named Samuel Finley Breeze
Morse, who was returning from q
three years residence in Europe,
whittier he had gone for improvement
in his art.
Painter as lie was, he was neverthe,
less well versed in science, for which
he had inherited an inclination from
his father, who was that once famous
geographer and doctor of divinity, of
Charlestown, Massachusetts, whore
large work upon geography was to be
found, half century ago, in almost
every considerable collection of books
in America Besides assisting his
father in his geographical studies,
Samuel Morse had studied chemistry
at Yale College under Prof. Silliman,
and natural philosophy under Prof.
Day. Alter graduating from Yale, in
1910, he went with Washington Ais
ton to London, where he received in
struction in painting from Sir Benja-
min West. Returning to the United
States III 1915, he pursued his voca-
ton with SO much success, that he
was elected the first president of our
National Academy, and held the
Office for sixteen years In 1929 lie
went again to Europe, for further i'm
proye::ent; and it was when return
ing from this visit that the converse
ton took place in the cabin of the
Sully. During all the years of his
artist life he had retained his early
love for science, and usually kept
himself well informed of its progress
Hence the eagerness with which he
listened to DR.. Jackson's narrative,
"Why," said he, when the doctor
had finished, eff that is so, and the
presence of electricity could be made
visible in any of the desired part of
the circuit, I see no reason why in
telligence might not be transmitted
instantaneously by electricity"
"How convenient it would be-" ad-
ded one of the passengers, ''if we
could send news in that manner"
"Why can't we?" asked Morse, fac
mated by the idea.
From that hour the subject occu-
pied his thoughts, and. he began forth

With feathers on its head
A monstrous hump below its waist,
Large as feather bed:

But sure 1t can't be human!

For turning eggs to chickens,
A labor saving hennery
That beats the very dickens.
Whereat, he strongly grasped my hand
And said, "Tis plain to see
This world is SO transmograted,
Twill never do Tor me.
Your telegraphs, your railroad trains,
Your gas lights friction matches,
Your hump backed women, rocky coal
Your thing which chickens matches.
"Have turned the earth upside down,
No peace is left within it,
Then whirling around upon his heel,
He vanished in a minute.
Forthwith, my most veracious pen
Wrote down what 1 had heard,
And here, dressed up in doggeral rhyme
You have it word for word.

within him, and he left tho Capitol.
He walked sadly home, and went tc'
bed a %
Imagine the rapture with which he
heard, on the following morning, that
Congress- late in the night, amid thu
roar and stress preceding adjourn
ment, had voted him thirty thousand
dollars for constructing his! expert,
mental line! Eleven years and a.
half had passed since he had made hisj'
invention on board the ship Per-
haps, or that morning, he thought it
worth while to strive and suffer for So
long a period, to enjoy the thrill and
ecstacy which he then experienced.
But his trouble was far from being;
over, Clinging still to his criginal'
notion of inclosing the wires In buried
tubes, he wasted nearly whole year,
and spent twenty three thousand dolf
lars of bis appropriation in discovering
that the plan would not work. He
resorted at length TO the system OF
wires suspended upon poles; and ou'
the first of May, 1874, messages were
transmitted between the tive cities."
and the Electric Telegraph was an :
accomplished fact. "#s. htig saf's
Many ears elapsed before the in
vention was of much advantage to Mr.
Morse. Rival inventors entered the
field, and rival companies spoiled the
business. It not until the cen.
solidation Of most oe the companies
into two or three, that the business Of
transmitting messages by telegraph
was very profitable to any one..ieDu-
ring the last few years the inventor
has been enriched; but I presume
there are at least fifty persons now
living, who, without having contribut-
ed an idea to the invention, have
made more money by it than the in
ventor. ts 5ie

the business has attained in the Uni

1 was stopping at tho Windsor, ii
the Rue de Rivoli, Paris.
One morning I was smoking IN the
collonade, when a tall, elegantly
dressed stranger asked to light his ci
gar by mine.
/ saw at once that he was Ere nch
man, although his English was almost
perfect.
"Have you heard the news?" he
inquired
"No."
"Is it possible? Why, all Paris is
alive with it at this moment"
"What has happened p
The Countess de Marville-the
fairest of the fair-Nas found murder
ed in her bed last night, her bureau
broken open and ten thousand francs
taken from it. All, it was terrible
there were marks of fingers on he
throat; the brute who did the deed
effected his entrance through the Win
dow of the chamber, pear which, un-
fortunately, was tall tree, planted
years ago by the distinguished grand
father OF tue Countess. Little did he
imagine the terrible use made of it.
Ah, Monsieur if you had seen the
Countess you would have wondered
still more. She was beautiful as an
angel" he added, stroking his whisk-
ers with an unmistakable air of vani-
ty. 81 knew her very WELL"
"Indeed."
''Oh, yes. There are ia Paris few
popular women unknown to me-"
His manner was now decidedly con-
ceited, and I felt disgusted with him.
My GOODNESS evidently repelled him,
for he soon left me.
Atterward l heard the late tragedy
from other accounts. Among the de-
tails Of the affair was one which pecu
liarly impressed mo, and of which my
first informant had not told me an
oversight which surprised me, rs the
incident which he had not mentioned
was of the kind which would be most
apt to strike the fancy.
Upon the throat of the Countess
the murderer. in throttling her, had
left a mark from ring which he wore
the impression of a chariot wheel
with a star in the center.
This" said my latest informant
may lead to the discovery OF the muir
derer. Jean Mosqueau is already
visiting the jewellers shops to see by
whom, from which, any when a ring
with chariot wheel for device was
purchased"
"Who is this much talked about
Jean Mosqueau ?"
"What Monsieur, have you not
heard of Mosqueau, our famous de-
tective? Although his courage is
we'll known, you would not, TO look
at his girlish face and delicate form,
think he could fight goat"
A week later, I was aboard the
steamer bound from Calais to Dover.
Among the passengers I beheld one
whose face had familiar look. / was
not long in recognizing this as the ho-
tel man in Paris, and who had first in
formed me of the murder of the Coun
tess. He was certainly a very hand
some man. although his concerted air
was a blot upon his good looks. lie
moved lsnguidly hither and thither
now and then turning his pretty brown
eyes admiringly upon the lady passen-
ger, while stroking his whiskers with

Down sat man beside me.
His dress was ancient, and his air
Was somewhat strange and foreign
He civilly, returned my stare,
And said. I'm Richard Warren!
you'll find my name along the list
OF hero, sage and martyr, ...
Who, in the Mayfower's cabin, signed
The frat New England charter.

Perhaps, some wise suggestions
But then I'm bent on seeing sights,
And running Ger with questions.

To give you information,
Whether OF private men you ask
Or our renowned nation"
Says he, "First tell me what is that
In your compartment narrow,
Which seems to dry my eycl,alls up,
And scorch my very marrow
His finger pointed 10 the crate
Said I-"That's Lehigh coal,
Dug from. the earth"-he shook his head,
at is, upon my soul
| then took up a bit of stick,
One end was black as night,
And rubbed it quite across the hearth,
When'lo sudden light !
My guest drew back uprolled his eyes,
And strove his breath to catch

Quoth /, "A friction IN atch."
Upon pipe Just overhead,
1 turned a little screw,
When forth, with instantaneous fash,
Three streams OF lightning flew.
Uprosc my guest: "Now heaven me
save"
Aloud he shouted then,
els that he'll fire ?" "'Tis gas" said
"We call it hydrogen,
Then forth into the fields we strided,
A train came laundering hy,
Drawn oy the snorting iron steed,
Swifter than eagles fly.
Rumbled the wheels, the whistle

Far streamed the smoky cloud,
Echoed the hills, the valley shook,
The flying forests howled.

"Great is the Lord our God" cried he,
"He doth all things we'll.
I've seen his chariots of fire,
The horsemen, too, thereof:

Nor at his threatning, scoff."
"Rise up my friend, rise up said /,
"Your terrors are all vain
That was no chariot ofthe sky,
Twas the New York mail train"

Men came the news to know,

Cracked Wheat.

Within the last two or three years new
and highly nutritious article of diet has
come into quite general use in this coun-
try, which Is spoken Of in very eulogistic
terms by eminent physicians and physi-

highly recommended by some distin-
guished physicians of Nashville, and We
are informed that il is coming into use in
this city TO such an extent that all proni-
nent grocers in the city are compelled TO
keep 1t, so as 10 supply their customers.
