The story Of the first message has been
often told with many >exaggeratiops. It has
roamed about Europe with various roman
tic materials attached to it, originating
mainly in the French Imagination, and has
started up anew from time to time in our
own country under fresh forms, but the
above story is simply and literally true. -

A Story of the First Telegram.

! A bill met with neither sneers nor oppo
sition in the Senate, but the business Of thai
House went on with discouraging slowness
AT twilight on the last evening of the ses
sion March 3, I043) there was 119 bills
before it. AS it seemed impossible for it to
be reached in regular course before the hour
OF adjournment should arrive, Prof. Morse
who had anxiously watched the tardy move
ments of business al day from the gallery
of the Senate chamber, went With sad
heart to his hotel ard prepared to leave for
New York at an early hour next morning.
While at breakfast servant informed him
that young lady desired to see him in the
parlor.
There he met Miss Annie Ellsworth then
a young school girl-the daughter of his in
innate friend, Mr.. L. Ellsworth, the first
Commissioner Of Patents-who said, as she
extended her hand to him: II have come
to congratulate you - ~
"Upon what ?" inquired the Professor
upon the passing of your bill, ;" she re-
piled.
Impossible It's fate was sealed at
dusk last evening. You must be mista.

''Not at all, she responded. Father
sent me to tell you that your bill was pass
ed. He remained until the session was
closed, and yours was the last bill but one
acted upon, and it was passed just five min
utes before the adjournment and | am so
glad to be the first one to tell you. Mother
me to breakfast
The invitation was readily accepted, and
the Joy in the household was unbounded -
Both Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth had fully be-
lieved in the project, and the former in his
confidence in it and in bis warm friendship
for Prof. Morse, had spent all the closing
hours of the Session in the Senate chambers
doing what he could to help the bill along,
and giving it all the influence of his high
personal and official position.
Graspiug the hand of his young friend /,
the Prof. thanked her again and again for
bearing him such pleasant tidings and assur-
ed her that she should send over the wires
the first message, as her reward. TIE mat
ter was talked over in the family, and Mrs.
Ellsworth suggested message whioH Prof
Morse referred to the daughter, for her ap
prevail and this was the one which was
subse quently sent.
A little more than year after that 'is.e
the line between Washington and Baltimore
was completed Professor Morse was in
the former city, and Mr.. Alfred Vail. his
assistant, in the latter the first in the
chamber of the Supreme Court. the 'ast iu

An AmphibiOus Boy.

~ WrlieT III Tue OHlcdRO LINES state
that he has seen the infant son of Dr. Loul
fShultz remain under water twenty-five min
utes without being injured. Shultz claim
that any land animal can be taught to d.
the same thing, if taken Immediately after
birth. His theory is that before birth the
circulation is carried on through the ova
hole between the right and left arterial ca
nails After birth the circulation is con.
Quoted entirely by the lungs through the
pulmonary artery, and the oval hole in the
heart is gradually closed through disuse.-
The vital functions of the amphibia are al
most identical with those of the land ami
mails, including the human species. Their
young are bom on land. and would become
incapable Of remaining under water, were
they not frequently forced by their dams be.
meath the surface, and thus the oval hole oil
the heart is constantly kept open until it
becomes one of the permanent functions Of
the body.
Shultz was convinced that all land ami.
mails might acquire the same faculty, and
tested the matter by immersing four new
born pups in water heated to blood tempera-
ture. He first kept them beneath the sur.
face two minutes then five minutes, and
they seemed to enjoy it rather than other.
wise When his child was born he stole it
from the mother while the latter slept, and
recklessly immersed it in water at blood
heat for four minutes. keeping his hand. on
the babe's breast SO that the pulsation of the
heart might be felt
Shultz states that it was twenty seconds
after immersion before the blood found its
way along the old channel, with bounding
percussion which at once startled him and
relieved his suspense. Upon lifting the
babe from the water it was ten seconds be.
fore the lungs resumed their duties, and the
circulation proceeded in the natural manner.
Shultz then dressed the infant and returned
it to its mother so quietly that she did not
imagine anything unusual had happened.
The day following, the experiment was
repeated five times. 1t was not for some
time that Shultz informed his wife of what
he had done, assuring her of a certain for
tune if she kept the matter secret. But
the shock Frustrated the poor mother for
two weeks. During the winter Shultz new
er neglected the immersion of his child five
times day, from five to twenty-five minutes
each time. The boy is blonde and shows
unusual physical strength for child of six
months. He can already Ego around by
the chairs,' and his voice is uncommonly
powerful.
He appears to have much better control
Of his movements in the water than out of
it. A few peppermint drops were tossed in
different parts of bath three feet deep, in
J pursuit OF which the child eagerly went,
and he was fully three minutes in endeavor-
ing to get them, as be dropped them almost
as fast as he picked them up. Finally he
came up with the candy, appealing to be
taken out.
Mrs Shultz is not at all reconciled to the
treatment of her child, but Shultz thinks
he is doing humanity a favor by initiating
practical method of obviating all danger
by drowning.
