Telegraph a collective testimonial. A.
the meeting ten states were represented.
namely: France, Russia, Saedeu. Bel
GUM, Holland. Austria. Safdihia, Tus-
eany, the Holy See, and Turkey; and,
after two sessions. the sum Of four hun.
dred thousand francs (eighty thousand
dollsrsl was voted TO Mr.. Morse as an
honorary reward for his useful invention.
He received in 1856 public banquet in
London from the lelegraphis companies Of
Great Britain, aud in 1858 another from
Americans in Paris, in which almost ey-
cry State in the Union was represented.
On his return from Europe in 1850 Mr..
Morse, who unites ID himself the phIlan-
thropist and the conservative, endeavored
to render some service to the South, in its
desiitution Of churches and schools, the
result Of the spare population of the plant
ing States, by the organization of the
Southern Aid Soeiety, to which be was
a liberal contributor, as we'll as its princi-
pal executive officer. The occurrence Of
the war put an end, for the time, to the
labors of this society.
Mr.. Morse has an elegant summer.
residence on the Hudson, at Locust Grove,
near Poughkeepsie, where, in the society
of friends and books, aud in semitic pur
suits, he spends much ofhis time. 1t ha,
always been cherished hope with hiu
to return to the profession which he aband
oned thirty years ago, but it is hardly
probable that he will do go But for hi
invention Of the telegraph, he would un
doubtedly have attained high reputation
as an historical painter. Some of bis pic
lures are very highly btitea b5 the con
noisseurs who have been so fortunate as t,
obtain them. A marked example, not on
ly of his fondness for art, but of his re
verence for his early art-preceptor ant
his attachment to his alma mater, occur
red during the summer of 1867. Tn
art-gallery Of Y ale College, the munifcou
gift of Hon. A. r. Street, was about to b.
opened to the public, and Mr.. Morse
then in Paris, purchased there, for sevel
thousand dollars, Allston's historical paint
ing Jeremiah" and seht it as preson
to the art-gallery, shipping it so that i
might arrive in season for the opening.
In al the duties of his active aud bus,
life, as artist, inventor, or connoisseur
aud amid all the honors he has receivet
from abroad, Mr.. Morse has never forgot
ten and never regretted that he was, be
fore aught else, an American citizen. Tb
love of his country has been with hir
ever ruling and absorbing passion, AM
the nation has few sons Of whom she ha
as much cause to be proud.

Miscellany.
From the Appletons' Journal.
SamueIF. Il. Morse.

Genius is often hereditary, and, though
in successive generations it may be direct
cd to different fields of labor, it still bears
evidence of being transmitted from gifted
ancestry. Mr.. Morse is no exception to
this rule, being the son of the Rev. Jede-
diah Morse, the FIRST American geograph-
er, man of remarkable abilities MIR.
Morse was born IN Charlestown, Mussa-
chusetts, April 27, 1910. He was edu-
Gated at Y ale College, whore he graduat-
ed in 1870. HIS taste for art was early
manifest, and, finding it impossible to DIS
suade him from his determination TO be-
come a painter, his father at last consent
ed to indulge him, ana in 1871 sent him
to England, in company with Mr.. Allston
under whose tuition and that Of Benjamin
West he soon distinguished himself. He
formed about this time an intimacy with
the aftcrward-celebrated artist G. X. Les
lie, and each painted portrait of the
other. In 1918 MIR. Morse exhibited, in
the Royal Academy, his picture of b" The
Dying Hercules, work of colossal size,
which received high praise from the art
connoisseurs who visited the exhibition
An original plaster model of the same
subject, which he had made to assist him
in his painting, was also exhibited, and Ne
received from the AdeIphi Society of Arts
its gold medal for this, his first attempt
at sculpture. Encouraged by this success
the artist determined to contend for the
premium in historical composition offered
by the Academy the following year. The
picture, the subject of which was "The
Judgment of Jupiter, in the case Of Apol-
10, Marpessa, and ldas," was completed
in time, but Mr.. Morse was compelled by
circumstances to return to America, early
III 1915, before the premiums were ad-
judged, and was consequently debarrea
the privilege of competing for the prize.
Benjamin West, then president 81 the
Royal Academy, atte:ward assured him
that he would undoubtedly have won it.
Or mis- return to the U. S. he settled in
his profession in Boston, but, about j o22,
removed to N. Y. City, where he found
his works and his abilities as an artist bet
ter appreciated, and was constantly en-
ploycd. Under commission from the
corporation of the city he painted full
length portrait OF Lafayette when he Wis
tied this country in 1925. In lS24-'25,
IN connection with some other artists, be
established drawing association, which
formed the nucleus, two years later, OF the
National Academy of Design. Of this
Institution he was the first president, and
was continued in that office by subsequent
elections for l6 years. TIE first course
of lectures on the subject Of art ever de,
livered in this country were pronounced
BY him before the N. Y. Atheu@um, ant
subsequently repeated to the classes o
students at the Academy.
In 1929 he visited Europe secont
time to complete his studies in art, ant
remained abroad for somewhat more thai
three years, residing in turn in the prin
cipal cities Of the Continent. During hi
absence in Europe he had been elected +
