ESSAY on Onions.

To onions is strength, and garden
without il lacks flavor The onion in
its satin wrappings is among the most
beautiful of vegetables; it can almost be
said to have a soul. You take off coat
after coat, and the onion is still there :
and when the last one is removed, who
dare say the onion itself is destroyed.
though you can weep over its departed
spirit? I doubt not that all men. and
woman love the onion but few confess
their love. Good New Englanders are
as shy Of owning st as they are Of talk
ing about religion. Some people have
days on which they eat onions--the act
is in the nature Of religious ceremony,
an Ellusinian mystery; not breath Of
it must get abroad. On that day they
see no company, they deny the kiss Of
greeting to the dearest friend. Happy
Is said to be the family who can eat
onions together Look at Italy; all eat
of the common vegetable. The social
atmosphere Of that delicious land is
laden with it. In the churches all are
alike there is one faith, one smell.
The entrance Of Victor Emmanuel into
Rome is only the pompous proclama-
tion Of a unity which garlic has already
accomplished; and yet we, who boast
of our democracy, eat onions in secret.

The FIRST News OF WAsH1NaToN's
DEATH.-There never was q more
striking or spontaneous tribute paid to
q man than here in Boston when the
news came of Washington's death
(1799), It was little before noon !;
and often heard persons say at the
time, that one could know how far the
news spread by the closing Of the shops.
Each man, when be heard that Wash
ington was dead, shut his store, as a
matter of course. without consultation,
and in two hours. all business was
stopped. My father came home and
could not speak. he was so overcome;
nv mother was alarmed to see him in
such a state, until he recovered enough
to. tell her the sad news. For some
time every one. even the children, wore
Grape on their arm /; no boy could 60
into the streets without it. l wore it,
though only eight years old.

The Latest Wonder of Telegraphy.

The readers of the Traveller have
been made acquainted with the wonder
full inventions of Prof Bell, by which
musical and vocal sounds can be and
have been sent over the electric wires,
but few, if any, are aware of the won
derful results which are sure to follow
these improvements in telegraphy. A
few nights ago Prof. Bell was in COM
munication with telegraph operator in
New York, and commenced experiments
with one of his inventions pertaining to
the transmissions of musical sounds
He made use of his phonetic organ and
played the tune of America" and
asked the operator in New York what
be heard.
II hear the tune of America" re-
piled New York. "Give us another"
Prof. Bell then played "Auld Lang
Syne."'
"What do you hear now ?"
Il hear the tune of Aud Lang
Syue,' with the full chords, distinctly"
replied New York.
Thus the astounding discovery has
been made that man can play upon
musical instruments in New York, New
Orleans. or London, or Paris. and be
heard distinctly in Boston!- If this can
be done, why cannot distinguished per-
formers execute the most artistic and
beautiful music in Paris and an audi
ence assemble in Music Hall, Boston,
to listen? Prof. Bells other improve
ment. namely. the transmission of the
human voice, has become so far per-
fected that persons have converssd over.
one thousand miles of wire with perfect
ease, although as yet the vocal sounds
are not loud enough to be heard by
mole than one or two persons. But if
the human voice can now be sent over
the wire. and so distinctly that when
two or three known parties are tele-
graphing the voices Of each can be re-
cognized, we may soon have distin-
guished men delivering speeches in
Washington. New York or London.
and audiences assembled in Music
Hall or Fsneuil Hall to listen Boston

DEArH.-Why should men be afraid
to die d? If the soul lose this poor man
sion Of hers by the sudden con6agration
of disease or by the slow decay Of age
is she therefore homeless and shelterless?
If she cast away this soiled and tattered
garment is she therefore naked? A
child looks forward to new suit and
does it joyfully We cling to our rags
and foulness. We should welcome
death as one who brings us tidings of
long-lost titles to large family estate,
