Professor Morse said to Miss Els
worth: You shall have the privi-
lege OF sending the first message over
the first line when it is constructed"
He Immediately went to work to
carry out his plans, which required
more than a year to complete. He
put advertisements in the leading
newspapers of New York, Baltimore
and Washington for bids to furnish
100 tons of lead pipe and four insu-
lated wires. The bids we're let and
the materials were supplied, and the
lead pipe, with two wires. was laid
eighteen inches under the ground
from Mount Clare depot in Balti-
more to the Relay House, a distance
Of nine miles. When the test was
made it was found that the electric
current would not pass from one end
of the line to the other. There was
a leakage somewhere which could not
be found, and Professor Morse was
forced to abandon that plan. He
then adopted that of elevating the
wires on poles, and completed the
two wires from baltimore to Wash
ington by May "a, 1874.
Professor Morse had an Office in
the Supreme Court rooms in the Cap
itol. On the eventful morning the
connection was completed. and after
testing the current of electricity was
found to be perfect and strong.

at the instrument in the office at the
Capitol. Alfred Vail was at the Mount
Clare depot in Baltimore. And now
Professor Morse called upon Miss Ellis
worth to send the first message, which
had been suggested to her by her
mother: "What Gcd hath wrought"
"a genuine inspiration. This was
flashed across the wire from Wash
ington to Baltimore and the first mes
sage had been sent.
How the Earth's Help Was Discovered.
AS first put into operation the tel
egraph employed two wires to form
the circuit, Professor Morse not know
ing that the earth would compete
the circuit. Amos Kendall, then
OSUIldllcT UcucTdl, is authority IOr
the story telling how Morse discov-
cred that the earth was a conductor
of electricity. After about ten days
working a cOuntryman came into the
office in the Capitol to tell Professor
Morse that one of his wires was down
out at Bladensburg. Morse said he
guessed nOt-the wires were working
all right" and paid no attention to
the information. The next day an
other mar came in and said that if
Professor Morse did not look out wag-
Gus would catch in his wires and tear
them all to pieces: that both wires
were down at ~Bladensburg.
Morse wanted to dispute the mans
statement even then, but finally de-
termined to 60 out and see for him
self. He found that more than 100
yards of wire had been torn out by
passing wagons, and the ends were
grounded. Then for the first time it
dawned upon him how the earth
might be of assistance in telegraphy.
He connected the ends, returned to
the city and ran the two wires to the
! ground, not knowing that one would
be sufficient. Then he had two wires
to Baltimore and could operate one
or both. Professor Morse ordered
additional instruments and put the
| second wire into service.

Glover as Manure.

A writer in Practical Farmer says:
'By understanding III land, by
thorough tillage and in numerous
other ways, we have been able to
greatly better condition on the

have attained anything like I'LL pres

DehOrning Calves.

A stick of caustic potash is the
best apparatus with which to dehOrn
calves. The job can be done in a
minute, causing only a slight wound
to the skin, and a tive-cent stick will
dehOrn a dozen calves. Moreover this
caustic can be procured at almost any
country drug store. The calf must
not be more than a month old 10 In
sure the prevention of all h RI
growth. 1t should be done wiieh the
calf is from two to four day, old
the earlier the better. The embryo
horn appears then like a little tieshy
wart as large as a split yea. Take
the calf's head between the legs,
mo stem the spot by applying to it a
finger slightly dipped in water and
then rub we'll the little eXcrescence
and the skin close around it's base,
touching a spit not larger than a
ten-cent piece with the stick of pot
ash for a few seconds, holding the
caif's head still against the thigh,
meanwhile, by grasping its Isl with
the other hand, and the job is done
for all time. Care must be taken not
to get any Of the lunar cauStic on
the naked fingers or hands as it
would create merry jlnKs in no time.

EUROPE begins to fear that she is
losing her laborers and will shortly
resort to some plan Of keeping them
from coming to this country. This
is the most cheering news that we
have heard in some time, and will
save the United States the trouble Of
erecting barriers at the ports of entry
to keep out the labor that EurOpc
worries so much about losing.

Rare Book.

1t is reported, notes the Critic,
that a copy, in excellent condition, OF
Poe's "Tamerlane" QS2O, n of the
rarest books in the world, has recent

Odds and Ends.

TO CLEAN the most delicate lace
spread it out carefully on wrapping
paper, then sprinkle it with calCined
magnesia: place another paper over
it and put it away between the
leaves of a book for two or three
days. All it needs is a sklllful shake
to scatter the white powder, and
then it is ready for wear, with slen-
der threads intact and as fresh as
when new.
THE following were the sensible
wedding presents of a small pursed
but kind-hearteA old lady to her
favOrite young friend: A large
basket full Of cake and Dreadpans
that had been tested in their oven
qualities, and which were a hundred
times better than the stock of new
shiny tins that a young hOuSekeeper
usually has to start with: an ironing
board, we'll covered with old blankets
and sheets: ironing holders. and sew
eral bundles of dust cloths. it IS safe
to say this present was thoroughly
appreciated.
A NEW way of solving the curtain
question that is certainly convenient,
and by no means ugly is to have two
sets OF sash curtains. n for the up
per and one for the lower half of the
window. Both are hung on rods
and consist of two parts, 50 that they
cal be parted in the middle. The
upper set should be made long enough
to fall about an inch over the top of
the lower set. They may be made of
muslin, silk, or any other fabric,
with edges hemstitched. frilled or
trimmed with lace. The arrange
ment is a good one for small bed
rooms, or for kitchen windows.
For kid gloves Of light color, that
are but slightly sOiled, but not
stained, there is no better mode of
~freshening than to wind a bit of oiled
silk around the finger, rubbing Wig
OrOusly to remOve all traces of the
mar. Any woman who tests this
easy way Of cleaning kid gloves will
be sure to keep thereafter a strip of
the silk in her possession. A quar-
ter or ever an eighth of a yard is
quite enough to purchase at once. as
in fancy dry goods houses where it is

and is thus very pliable. sMOisten
the silk. however, when using, as one
does a postage stamp.
"ANYBODY car wash trousers,
either white or colored," said a tailor,
the other day, to one of his custom
ers. The process is perfectly SIM
Pile if certain plain directions are
carefully followed. First, wash them
thoroughly in warm sOapsud>, only
rubbing the soap on very bad spots;
when well washed, rinse in cold
water twice, taking care that no
soap is left on the goods. Then
hang out to dry in the shade, never
in the sun Let the water drop off,
but do not wiring them. They should
be hung by the waist, and the
moisture that collects at the erd Of
each leg pressed off from time to
time with a towel. When nearly
dry, but still damD, they should be
turned on the wrong side and irOned
dry, and finally turned on the right
side and creased. If these directions
are followed there will be no material
%shrinkage, and the wooden will be as
soft and bright-lOoking as ever"

will attempt to redress its own griey-
ances, and whoever seeks remedy for
the wrongs imposed upon him outside OF
the law assumes an attitude OF iawIess-
ness. The great essential of the Govern
ment is its power TO afford peaceful and
judicial solution to disagreements among
men, relating TO the rights OF property
and the protection of persons.
a mans wages is his property. A
mans capital is equally his property.
Thus capital and labor can have no dis
pute which may not be settled by the
cool determination of judicial proceeding
and the award of justice by final judg-
ment. The measures herein outlined
should be popular with the laboring
classes. They are least able to contend
with capital. Labor suffers many wrongs
before it appeals 10 anarchy. There can
be little doubt but what exact justice was
on the side of the Pullman employees.
There is but little doubt but that the
remedy the American Railway Union is
attempting to apply Is unwlse and unjust.
The human conscience is the court of last
resort. The conceptions of Justice arising
out OF the consciences of men crystallizes
into government, INTO law, and into those
legal iormalities designed to reach YER
dict subservient to Justice IN every cas- g.

that legal remedies for the disputes be.

realm of easy possibility. Out of every
experience wisdom should come. Every
uprising has its lesson, and the obvious
lesson of the existing arrest OF growth In
the United States is that our civilization
itself can be brought TO state of arrest
through the blind efforts of uninstructed
men to maintain their natural rights on
the one hand and the greed and rapacity
of capital, which grows instead of being
satiated by the requirement of wealth, on
the other. The idea which is natural to
the human mind that each has right to
use his own in accordance with his own
will is still prominent, and will protest
against the suggestion of judicial inter-
ference. But the maxim of law, where
there is wrong, there is remedy"
should be made true as to the wrongs
which capital seeks to impose upon la
Dor, or labor upon capital. That is not
liberty which by its exercise interferes
with the exercise of like liberty in an
other. The employment Of labor on the
one hand by capital. and the consent to
such employment on the other by work.

MR.. HAYES MILITIA PLAN.

Suppose General Secretary Hayes ac-
complishes his plan and captures the mill
tia by enlisting knights of Labor, what
then? VIII they, having taken the oath
of allegiance and to support the law and
the constituted authorities, violate that
oath, and obey in preference the orders OF
Mr.. Hayes and his like? Is that the char
acter Mr.. Hayes deliberately intends to
give to the workers Of the United States?
Does he mean to say that under the Hayes
plan the militia is to be used against the
authority that arms and equip it?
The Stockton MalL says:
The general public will not share Mr.. Hayes
engaging gladness; on the contrary, it will be
inclined TO consider the plan mentioned as
serious menace to American Institutions. The
purpose of the plan is so apparent that one
cannot help wondering somewhat at Mr..
Hayes boldness. With the militia controlled
by organized labor, thoroughly drilled and
wen instructed in tactics and strategy, the
reign OF the sympathetic strike, the boycott
ana violence would be assured. Every dispute
between capital and labor would have to be de-
cided IN favor OF the latter or the streets would
be slippery with blood. This, IN brief. would
be the result OF labor militia companies on
the plan proposed by Hayes and other labor
agltators
Neither capitalists nor labor organiza-
tions should control the militia, nor do
they do so. An attempt of that kind by
either would be abhorrent to the patriotic
sense and not be tolerated moment. AS a
matter of fact nine-tenths of the men in
the National Guard are wage earners and
large numbers of them are trades union
men; the capitalistic class is not in the
Guard to any appreciable extent.
The men who bear muskets and stand
guard are mainly poor men; at least not
men of capital, and are all workers, and
mostly workers with their hands. and
they have not as yet proved disloyal, or
shown that they believe it necessary for
labor to appeal to bullets instead of bal
lots to accomplish legitimate ends.

that its evolution is during a very long
