This sculpt0r's statue OF 8. +. B. Morse, OF which
we have already given brief description, was un-
veiled the other evening at the Bogardus Gallery
on Broadway, The ngure il .; heroic Size.
The face, with pleasant smile playing
around the lips, Is striking likeness
OF the venerable inventor. who Is repre-
sented as If on the eve OF developing some grand
idea By an allowable poetic license the beard is
made somewhat fuller than necessary; but this en-.
hances the dignity OF the ceunrenance. The stiff.
ness Of modern dress is relieved by cloak, with
heavy fur collar. This cloak, falling from the left
side, Ia held up BY the lett hand, which holds tee
graphic despatch-the first message sent by the
cable. The other hand rests upon o small tele-
graphic instrument which lies upon column. The
attitude Is easy and tho whole statue is instinct
with life A number Of distinguished citizens and
several ladies were present at the unveiling Of the
statue, which, after being cast in bronze OF an ex
pense OF $5,OO0-tho sum contributed for this pur-
pose py the various telegraphic operators IN the
United States-will be- erected IN Central Park next
April on the anniversary OF the eigntieth birthday
OF Mr. Morse.

FIR .E.N'D U.vF.fER OPPOSI-
TEO.v.

In the midst of much fault-finding and
unjust criticism heaped upon the admins
tration, in consequence of certain injudi-
cious measures and appointments, (perhaps
we should add, in an underbreath, disap-
pointmcnts,) we are pleased to find the fol-
lowing in the New York Times, which we
doubt not expresses the sober sense of
great majority of the people:
We may appeal to any fair-minded per-
son TO decide whether the opposition which
the Republican party and the administra-
ton have lately encountered does not pass
the legitimate bounds of political discus
sion. Everybody knows that public man
must make up hIs mind to be exposed to
good deal Of sharp criticism. He is quite
certain to offend good many persons from
the start, and some of these persons will in
all probability be able to find access to the
columns of a newspaper, and take good
care to throw as much dirt as they possibly
can. He will also have adversaries of a
much viler kind, who will turn innocent
actions into crimes, invent all kinds of lies
about him, and spare no one connected
with him-man, woman, or child. The ne
cessity of facing this ordeal deters many
men from entering public life at all, and
drives good many out Of it when once
they have entered it. Among instances of
the latter kind is that of Vice President
Colfax, a singularly honest and puremind-
ed man, faithful to his principles, and un-
doubtedly qualified to render substantial
services TO the country. He has announced
his intention to withdraw from politics at
the expiration Of his present term of office,
simply because of his disinclination to
to spend any more OF his life in an atmos-
phere of slander and misrepresentation.
Nor can this be construed into sign OF
weakness. A man is hound, no doubt, to
face fair criticism, but he is not bound ia
be forever the target of professional libel
ers, blackmailers, and all kinds of knaves,
He owes, after all that can be said, some
thing to his own sense of selfrespect.

A paper has an article headed with the
conundrum, "Why do wives fadeP" We
suppose it is because they won't wash.
That woman was philosopher who,
when she lost her husband, said She had
one great consolaton--she knew where lie
was o nights!
Gen. Haupt, the ex-chief engineer Of
the Pennsylvania railroad, says that "Penn-
sylvania, rich as she is, is poor in iron ores
when compared with Virginia"

claimed crusty old bachelor, 10 u witty
young lady. "Andanan is always hugging
some delusion or other" was the quick re-
ply.
Small pieces of non -resinous wood may
be perfectly seasoned by boiling four or five
hours. The boiling seems to take the sap
out of the wood, which shrinks nearly one
tenth in the process.
In cases of Kerosene fires, don't try to
eXtinguish the flames with water. That
will only spread the fire. Instead, smother
the flames with blankets, woollen clothes,
quilts, shawls, or whatever may be near at
hand.
Another royal marriage is talked of in
English court circles-this time between
the Princess Beatrice, Queen Victoria's
youngest daughter, aged II, and the Mar
qus of Ely, an Irish Peer, who traces his
ancestors back to the days of good King
Alfred
The whole length of all the railways in
the world is about l20, 900 miles. The cost
of the same was in round numbers ten bill
| lions of dollars. Those of Great Britain are
the most costly, and those of the United
States the least so. The railway system of
tine world is supposed to give employment
to over 1000, 900 persons.
The "rooster" is the name of an infer
nal toy brought into use by the boys of
| Lockport, New York. 1t consists of an
empty tin can of any size, open at the top,
and having a hole in the bottom. Through
the hole is drawn a common shoe string or
corset lace, with knot tied on ono end to
prevent its slipping out The string is then
thoroughly waxed or rosined, and the most
unearthly shrieks are produced by sliding
the fingers over it. When one of these lit
tie wretches comes under the window with
his rooster, the people with sensitive nerves
take to the cellar or housetop.
IN THE free intercourse of human life you
carry to men the faculties that are act &c in
you, and generally excite, or tend to ex-
cite, in them precisely the same feelings
If you are irritable, you tend to produce
irritation. If you are proud, you tend tC
excite pride, and the resistance of pride
If you go to men with envyings, If yor
meet them with jealousies, if you bear tc
them the atmosphere of selfishness ant
self-seeking, they catch the infection from
you. And these feelings never, in you ol
any other person, ministered to cheer
There is no comfort in them. They ar,
sand in the teeth.-BEECHER.

OVER THE OCEAN; or, Sights and Scenes
in Foreign Lands-By Curtis QAld, edi-
Tor of the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
Boston: Lee n Shepard, publishers.
We have somewhere heard the remark
that of "book writing there is no end; !" and
whoever it was that first gave utterance to
this common observation there can be but
little doubt that the particular class of
books which he had in mind were those of
foreign travel. Doubtless instances have
occurred wherein persons from this coun-
try have made the tour of Europe, and
possibly have even experienced the deep
feelings of wonder and awe inspired by
visit to Egypt and the Holy Land, and on
their return home have quietly settled
down into the old ruts of their lives and
"made no sign;" but such instances must
be rare. And, indeed what wonder? To
theinqusitive, sght-loving Yankee, whom
years of toll and economy have enabled at
length to realize the dream of his youth and
the inspiration of his later years, in tour
of the continent, with all its wonderful ex-
periences and magnificent realizatlons, the
temptation to "write a book which shall
embody and hand down to his children's
children all the marvellous events of the
voyage, must be hard to resist. In the vol
ume before us, we have the concentrated
results of a seven months trip to Europe
by one whose habits of observation, ac-
quired by long occupation as journalist,
peculiarly fit him for the work of author
ships and the book will doubtless prove at
tractive to a large class of readers. For sale

LETTER FROM CIFIC.fGO.

CHICAGO, March 81, 1871.
Mr.. Edttor:--Our produce and provision
markets the past 30 days have been remark
ably dull and inactive. Buyers of nearly
all articles have found II almost impossible
to secure any proft-the expense of carry
ing onsetting the slight improvement which
has from time to time been realized; and,
at this writing, it seems hardly probable
purchasers of flour, wheat or oats, at COM
paratively high prices, should realize much
appreciation over and above the large ex-
penses which "summer rates" of storage
invariably incur. We, however, have con-
siderable faith in future values Of corn and
provisions; the former is also liable TO large
expenses while held in our market-about
iIc per bushel per month when actually
carried; but better grade can be bought
for June delivery, at a much lower dgure,
comparatively, which in the meantime
could be disposed of at as equally advan-
tageous prices as the leash" article. Note
the prices leash corn, seller May, and seller
June" in to-day's market Another ad-
vantage in buying future operations il,
that the purchaser secures thereby, at no
additional expense, sound article, as all
contracts made in this market require the
grain to be in good condition when deliver
cd.
Provisions are very much depressed, ow-
ing to the heavy stocks throughout the
country, as we'll as abroad; but we feel con-
fident the lowest prices have been nearly
realized, at least we believe purchasers will
receive hadsome profits on all investments
at present values, with only small chances
of loss. From all reports, it is probable
our receipts of wheat, corn and oats will be
large, so soon as our country roads are set
tied, and that all western markets will have
nearly as much wheat and oats to send for
ward us last year, while our corn crop Is
much larger and the quality is excellent.
The opening of navigation is near at hand,
and at the commencement it is probable
large amounts Of property will lie started
forward, on liberal rates of freight. Dur
ing the winter number OF corn charters
have been reported at l0c per bushel to
Buffalo, and it is now expected the IN T.
Co." line will send their first boat out the
coming week, with Il 25 to SOC rate Of freight
through to New England.

CULTIVATION OF TEA IN AMERICA
Somewhere about year ago company
was organized in California for the cultiva-
ton OF tea. The plants were imported
from japan aud set out in the Southern
part of the State, though as only ten per
cent of the trees survived the voyage, the
area of ground covered was not extensive.
At the same time the results have been far
from unsatisfactory, and as large quanti-
ty of seed, imported about the same time,
has developed rapidly and successfully,
there is every reason to believe that the
cultivation of the fragrant Bohea will, in
the future, constitute a large item IN the
material wealth of the Pacific shore.
