Telegraph by Steam.


The late scientific experiments upon the conser-
walton and correlation of forces, bringing out from
the action Of the steam engine a power that pro-
duces heat, light magnetism and electricity, have
not deduced any more certain, novel, or sue
cessful results than those produced years ago
by one Of our unassuming Bowdoin Col
legc professors. The medical class of 1868
will remember lecture cnliyened by some
remarkable experiments with small steam en-
glne. 1t had been previously arranged at the tel
egraph office, and permission granted, that at a
given signal the main batteries should be removed
from the wire leading to Pennington, to test the
electrical power of the steam engine. From the
medical college to the telegraph office wire was
already stretched, which could be connected, when
desired, with the Pennington wire. \ few spec
tators were admitted to the lecture room, and an
attentive class awaited the practical illustration of
the correlation of forces. The little steam engine
was bubbling and painting upon the operating table
as if impatient to vie with the electrical battery
upon the why circuit. The professor, Cyrus +.
Bracket, confident, comprehensive, touched the
tcegraphc key. "Make way for the steam en-
CINE" he wrote. Instantly from the telegraph Of
flee came back the reply: Track clear go
ahead" The main battery was at once taken off
and the steam engine attached-and now began n
tremble and rumble through every receiving
magnet upon the wire. The professor a skill
full manipulation of dots and dashes, and through
the vascllating heces of the telegraph instruments
could be distinguished the neat little speech he
was telegraphng-his thanks and those of the
class for the prompt and courteous response to his
call, &c. To distinguish these words and reply to
them through the accompanying rattle and buzz
Of the unusual force applied, was like listening to
raindrops through reverberating thunder, bat the
words were distinguishabe, and the wire trans
hitting them was charged by steam alone. 1t was
the first experiment of the kind ever performed,
and stamps that professor the discoverer OF
steam as q practical electrical force. IAIL.

Centennial Meeting Of the Anti
Slavery Society.
The Opening Address by Vice President
Wilson.

Philadelphia, April Ii. The Centennial Cele-
bratlon OF the organization of the Anti-Slavery
Society commenced this morning in Concert Hall.
Vice President Wilson called the assemblage to
order and in short address stated the character
of the meeting and history of the Society, the Or
ganizaion Of which this days ceremonies COM
memorate. He sketched the growth, progress and
triumph of the principles advocated by abolition
societies in American colonies and subsequently
in the United States. The Vice President assert
ed that his Investigations substantiate the claim of
the Penn Abolition Society that it is the oldest
ciety of this character in the world. Through its
entire history large proportion of its members
have been Quakers. Though founded in April,
49, its work was practically suspended during
the revolution. After the war, however, its work
was revived the most active part Of its career be-
ginning in 1854. Benjamin Franklin, about that
time, was its President, and later, Benz. Rush, a
leading member. In 1870 the society addressed
a memorial to Congress, urging action in favor of
the elevation AID amelioration of the black race.
For the next half century it employed every
means of aiding the negro. After the passage of
the fugitive slave law in 1850, the society was par
ticuarly energetic in assisting fugitive slaves, de-
voting its labors to the southern borders of Penn
sylvania along the Maryland line. Through the
agency of this society and its representatives, tu
give slaves were assisted beyond the reach of
capture.
After PRAYER by the Rev. Mr.. Furncss and sing
ing BY the Hutchinson family, DR.. William Elder
delivered an eloquent review of the career of the
society since its organization
Fred Douglass made speech and Lucretia
Mott was then introduced by Vice President Will
son and greeted warmly by the large audience.
She EXPRESSED the hope that the society and the
nation at large would continue to work in behalf
of the colorcd race in the direction of securing
to them the benefits OF education and protection.
The meeting adjourned to the Bethel NJ. Z.
church, in the evening, at which time large
dence gathered Addresses were delivered by +.
