Speaking of the death of Prof: Morse, the
Baltimore American says:-''He was one OF
the few sons of genius who lived to sec the full
triumph of his invention, and to wear the lau
rels his grateful couutrymcn showercd upon
his head. 1t has been the fate of most great
discoveries to 60 down to their graves before
the world comprehended the mighty boon that
had been conferred, and it remained for later
generation to build their monuments and sing
their praise 1t was the rare good fortune of
the inventor of telegraphy to see a statue set
up in his own honor, and send message half
round the world on the day it was unveiled. I"
But, after all, he suffered during his life,
much injury and annoyance, from some who
sought to deprive him Of the rewards and hon
ors due to him for his great invention. Envy
and detraction often dog the footsteps along
the path of time of great men; nor could he
have hoped to escape the common fate

CANAL TRADE.-The canal trade may now
be said to have fully opened and boats are ar
irving and departing freely. The entire line
letween here and Cumberland is in excellent
condition, is likely to continue so, and the In
dications are that the business of the canal this
season Will be in excess of that of any preceding
year. The Cumberland News Of yesterday
says:-"lester was big day at the
canal wharvcs in this city, as fortytwo boats
were loaded with coal and dispatched for tide
water, carrying 1856 o. tons. Business on
the canal opens very favorably, aud thus far
since navigation has been resumed there has
been very good trade going on, considering
the fact that both boatmen and the coal ship
pers were late in getting into active operation.

over the loss of our old market house s,eeple,

but wiser counsel prevailed, and a committee
was appointed to take the matter i'll hand. The
people of Alexandria felt pride in the old
steeple, which for symmetry aud beauty could
not be excellcd; but alas, the first outburst Of
patriotism subsidized. and from appearances
we are to have no steeple on our beautiful mar
ket house building $500 will build a fac,

The Nelson Family.

The Baltimore Erening Journal says:
In many respects this wonderful family
of gymnasts, with Dan Rice's Paris Pa
yiliOn Circus, are the most remarkable Illus
tration of the physical capabilities OF the
human frame that the world has known.
Professor Nelson is native of London,
and, until recently, resident of the aristo-
cratic precinct of Belgravia. 1t is under
stood that he does not adopt the profession
alone for pecuniary advantage, as his social
and financial standing in England rank
him among the more favored class, but an
innate love of the development of physical
education has characterized his ambition
from his youth. Even in infancy the germ
of strength and agility manifested itself.
When they were but three years of age, the
father, in spirit of pride, exhibited the
prodigies before the crowned heads OF
Europe.
withstanding their hazardous calling,
they rarely meet with accident. The elder,
Robert, it will be remembered, broke an
arm at Niblo's few months since, while
performing one of his most perllous 1eats:
but the brave little fellow, with character
istic tirmness, walked from the stage amid
thunders of applause, which would have
been changed to deep and silent sympathy
had the vast audience been aware at what
a cost the feat had been achieved. Many
good people evince tender sympathy and
kindly feeling for these children, which they
consider does not show itself in the father.
Never was there greater mistake. The
deep seated affection of Mr.. Nelson for his
children, if not manifest in public, is shown
to its fullest extent in the freedom but ar
bitrary ruling of the practice ring, where
seeming severity or firm determination in
enforcing obedience is paid with fathers
kiss and fathers love. They know their
reward, and try to earn 1t.

REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY,
ON CARONDELET STREET.

Again the oracle was silent, its high
priests telegraph operatOrs) dumb; when
deprived of counsel the cotton mercha nts
siderable uneasiness is now apparent among
factors. 1t is not yet evenly settled in their
mind whether it is better, as in the famous
case of holding mad bull by the tail, to
hold on or let go. Opinions differ. Wisdom,
in this case, shows her mark, and is also
silent. Tact is the only guide. This infiu-
ence prompts them to ''hOld on, while, as
happens in all cases where a line is formed,
some few stragglers have broken out and
offered cotton for sale at prices which were
refused on Thursday. But the dumbness
of Liverpool and New York acted like
wet blanket, and the longer the news
waited the wetter and more like an extin-
guisher it got. The momentum Of Thurs
days market, however, telling as it did Of
an increase, showed along the demand into
Friday, and the sales during the morning
hours filled the daily average, while the
seals that were broken in the afternoon
hours contributed to a better market at the
close of the week.
There is still more conversation about the
Crescent City Gaslight Company stock,
which is daily rising into Importance on the
street from playing possum in the summer.
1t is quoted from 81 to S., several hundred
shares having been sold within this
margin.
State warrants evince no change, except
that being harder to acquire, their value has
increased over the last quotations.
Levee stock is quoted at s. S7l2 to 50,
and stockholders are firm in their con-
victions that the levee law as well as the
stock under it is safe. The machinery of
levee building has been set to work; con-
racts have been given out; forms have been
filed; old levee contractors appear as the
undertakers, and have confidence in the
levee administration. Yet the cloud is not
altogether dispe]led, being colored by mis-
representation.
There is whisper on the street that few
shares of Union Bank sold yesterday at 500
share. The report has not been verified.
1t has been suggested that the gentlemen
composing luc DOdTu VI DTOhtIs, ny IcpOIG-
ing sales made during the day, or before the
daily operation of feeling the market is
transacted at night time, could make a
point, inasmuch as these sales would be reli-
able and necessarily truthful. Reporters
under the present regime, are compelled to
make inquiries which, from their nature,
may look impertinent. Were the business
men of our own city to accept instruction
from Wall street, this system of accurate re-
ports would have been in vogue long ago.
The names of the parties it is not necessary
to give as the news is just as important
without as with them. 1t is only needful to
have facts, according to the Gradgrind
policy.
The wires from Wall street being speech
less yesterday, business in gold and ex-
change was very dull and fiat.
There we're no sales at the Board Of
Brokers last evening. The offerings and

CorroN.-The race of levee rats has nearly
died out since the harbor police commenced
to hunt them to their holes. Still, one oc-
casionally pops up, as did an individual OF

He had opened bale of cotton in the

that he would be captured unless he re-

vanished around corner, going off as poor
