THE TELEGRAPH'S RISE.

$THE FIRST MESSAGE THAT EVER WENT OVER A WIRE**.

inlscences of I'rofeuaor Morse Oiwn to the Public by One of His Earliest VHendclnteniitfaf Incident* Gathered Crom John W. Kirk. _•

Mom had possessed himself of allflfcroom in the oust end of the Capitol, and there, abstracted but active, the new attache of the postofflce deportment found him, a thin, spare, careworn, anxious man, in the midst of confusing heaps of wire and pots and apparent debris. A congressional committee was on Jts way to see him and examine in 'practical operation the machine which he had promised would transmit intelligent messages between points miles apart. The line which started toward Baltimore was built about fire miles without the Washington limits, and the "metallie circuit" (before the day of ground wires) was in working order. The committee came. The statesmen approached his instrument cautiously, as if suspecting that it might suddenly get into an exploding fit. But finally they ranged themselves as closely as they dared "beside the animated electrician and awaited his experiments. "Now, gentlemen, what shall we send over the wiref ejaculated the old man. "Pick out your own message and I'll show you how simple this whole thing is and how it accomplishes everything that I've claimed."

Hie gentlemen were hardly expecting a challenge like this, but finally congressional genius asserted itself, and one of the party proposed that this startlingly original information be flashed along "Mr. Brown, of Indiana, is here."

Prof. Morse bent over his instrument luxd pegged away. Tick, tack, tick-tick-tick went the electric tapping, and then a moment later came the same rattling line of signals upon an adjoining machine—the indentation Morse register.

The old man grabbed the slip of paper as it rfnw released from the instrument, scanned it eagerly, and then, with the air of an emperor whose crown is self-won, he thrust the flattering white scrap forward. "Seel1'—and he displaced another sheet on which his dot and dash sign manual appeared—— "Seel Take this for a guide and you'll find printed there the very words you asked transmitted.

The delegation did as directed, and sure enough they spelled out so the sensational go-ings-on of "Mr. Brown of Indiana."

Converted? Those congressmen converted? Well, hardly. This is the recollection of Mr. Kirk: "One of them hunched me and winked In a superior and knowing sort of way, while another vdiispered: 'That's what I call pretty thinl' and a third remarked right out loud: 'It wont do I That doesn't prove anything.' Poor Morse's heart was almost broken. His triumph was turned all to bitterness. Every one of his visitors went away more skeptical than ever."

Morse worked only the harder after his failure to convince the wise men from congress by the test of his five mile loop. Day by day more poles were set and more wire was stretched, and Annapolis unction—half way to Baltimore—was just about reached when the Whig national convention of May, 1844, opened in Baltimore. Here, at the suggestion of his friend, Mr. John W. Kirk, Morse saw opportunities beyond any that had come to him before. On the morning that the convention organized he was able by dint of work by night as well as by day, to get connection through to Annapolis junction from his little Washington machine Shop. He bad placed a bright youhg fellow at the Annapolis Junction, and with instructions to get information of what the convention bad done just as soon as the afternoon Baltimore train arrived at the junction and telegraph it at once to Washington. t)f course the capital was in a ferment every citizen was anxious for the news from Baltimore but till trains should arrive from the scene it was recognised that nothing could be known. The earnest old fellow spent that eventful afternoon all alone, save for the companionship of John Kirk.

Suddenly there came an animated clicking* He who was most interested bent forward as if intent on fairly consuming the strip of paper that crept out from the register. There was almost agony in his face as, snail like, the paper baited and hesitated, spurted a little, stood still, mode false starts and then spurted more till—the message completed— Mom roao erect, looked proudly about him, and said as grandly as though ho were distrfbuting kingdoms: "Mr. Kirk, the eonvenfcioahaa adjourned. The train for Washington has just left Annapolis junction. And the ticket"—he hesitated, holding final proof of his victory beyond all disputing—"the ticket—the tiaket to Clay and Frelinghuyeou." "You are quizing us," was the quick retort he heard when this was proclaimed outside*. "It's easy enough for you to guess that Clay is at the head of the ticket, but Freliug* htiysen—who the devil is FrolinghuysenP "I only know," was the dignified answer, "thai, it is telegraphed nte so from Annapolis Junction, where my operator had the news five mi no

Us ago from the train th# is bound

this way bringing the delegates." In those days ttoo twenty miles from Annapolis Junction to Washington made np a trip of an hour and a quarter for the exceptionally fast trains, such as that which was bringing the Whig delegates to Washington. Long before the journey was over the newspapers—enterprising even in those days—had extras on the streets, and the newsboy was crying lustily the chronicle that Morse had caught flashing through twenty miles ot air. greet crowd of people was at the station. The extras, with their cabalistic Jegqad "By TMoffraph,* had whetted public curiosity So kannirrr edge. Out of the jammed train (Mm the delegates piling, each anxious te be foremost In sending abroad to friends the inspiriting news that fortune was with Harry of the w*tt. And how dumbfounded they were, finding hi very type before them the story they believed exclusively their own. How but by a miracle could the news have gained headway! "By telegraph,1* so they w.:.l in the headlines of the journals. "By t« ^'smphP1 That pestiferous Morse! They lu 1 VN& the wires stretching along the tradk all way from Annap Junction into Wasiuugton they had seen u, and they had joked about it glibly. Phew! It was hard to reai!i But—but—but what can a man do wbrt* ho cant do anything* The doubters and scoffers became enthusiasticaaly dumb.

HEWITT ON PHYSICAL CULTURE.

Opposed to Pugilistic Besorts, bat in Favor of Boxing Gloves.

One of the vital questions affecting the rising generation which fathers and mothers often consider, and are in great doubt about, is what form of exercise their boys and young men should be encouraged to take. The Herald advised its correspondents some time ago to get opinions on the subject from men of prominence.

Mayor Abram 8. Hewitt said: "I am a physical wreck, and I ought to have been in my grave ten years ago. Yet I made a speech, as you recall to me, a few seasons ago to the members of the Young Men's Christian association on the subject of physical culture. I believe that I would today be a strong, hearty man if I had early acquired, and constantly practiced, reasonable athletic exercises. I was instrumental in establishing the gymnasium in the Christian association's building, and I decidedly countenanced the introduction there of boxing gloves at a time when the innovation was opposed. Sparring is now a countenanced sport there, but bummers, loafers and fighters dont get into the premises, and the sparring is as gentlemanly as checkers. "But since I have been the mayor I have cleaned New York city of pugilistic resorts. You remember that the Bowery used to be dotted with drinking saloons with roped rings at their rears, wherein nightly boxing matches were the attraction for gatherings of bums and novices. There shall be no publie exhibitions in this town by professional pugilists, except of so mild a sort that the law is not violated thereby. Any semblance of fights, no matter if the gloves are as big as pillows, shall be prevented. But sparring for exercise is quite another thing. I see no good reason for the discontinuance of sparring by boys and young men in reputable gymnasiums, in their homes, or anywhere that it is not surrounded by vicious persons. Our nicest girls dance in their parents' parlors and at approved balls, but that does not imply a desire on their part to go to disreputable dance halls for the diversion. The same should be true of boxing by the boys. No, no dont forbid the boxing gloves. Encourage all manly and becoming sports, and only stop them within the borders of propriety." —Boston Herald.

•w'* The American at Dinner*' Americans are hospitable, in a certain way, that approaches lavishness. Whenever they give dinners at clubs, or at home, they display their hospitality by elaborate menus which comprise too many dishes for a man's taste or digestion. This is not the epicurean idea. There is more merit in a dinner where the quality of food, its cookery and service are attended to, and the most enjoyable banquet is that where not five courses are exceeded. Look at the menus of some large banquets, and you will find that they average ten courses, and it is not uncommon to see a dinner at a club or house exceed twelve courses, with every procurable dish in the market. The American is not a heavy eater, and his digestion is more frequently than not imperfect. He can, consequently, but simply taste the various dishes, or else gorge himself like a child at Christmas. Such elaborate dinners are often considered bores because one cannot leave the table with satisfaction.

It is no little art to give a real enjoyable dinner. The people here are too busy to become good dinner givers^ for it requires an idler to be successful at tlhis. Our wealthy men do not entertain at home, and at the clubs they are often lavish without approaching epicurianism. More attention is now paid than formerly to menu cards and service. A menu card should be original, simple and elegant. So many of them are gaudy and over ambitious that they destroy the effect desired. It is pleasant to begin dinner after glancing at a refreshing menu card. It should always be typical, if possible, of the object of the dinner, and theu a dinner should never be served without flowers, which are important features of table arrangements.—William Lucas in GlobeDemocrat ___i—___________

"ENGLISH, T0U KNOW."

OUR VOICES DIFFER FROM THOSE OF OUR BRITISH COUSINS.

The Anglomanlae's Imitation Scarcely so Good a* Might Be Desired—Difference Between American and Engliih Enun-ciation—Non-English Pronunciation.

Nowadays, when even the salesladies cry "carsh" or "cawsh," we realize that Anglomania has penetrated the whole mass of society. We need not be very old to recollect the time when English people were voted dull and stiff, English dress dowdy and tasteless, and the English accent was a theme for perfunctory jokes of the humbler lecturer..

Imitation is the sincerest flattery, and our British cousins may seem ungracious in suggesting that the imitation is scarcely so good as might be desired.

Flora McFlimsey is a young woman who toils not neither does she spin and we see her spend her strength in futile efforts to teach her tongue the English tricks, with heart unmoved to pity. But it is pathetic when the daughters of toil waste their needed energies in efforts so vain. For they are vain, and Flora McFlimsy will never be, as she flatters herself she will' be, mistaken for Jenny BulL Her speech, in spite of her pains, betrayeth her.

Our voices differ from those of our cousins over the water. Our drier air, our often over strained nerves, or our severe winters, affecting the lungs of successive generations, frequently produce those strident, rasping tones which excite the execration of Gail Hamilton. English voices are, as a rule, soft, full, round, low in pitch and (when feminine) low in contradistinction to loud, as was gentle Cordelia's. She, therefore, who would fain relinquish the president's English and adopt the queen's English must not cry aloud, and especially must not cause her voice to be heard in the streets. A Billingsgate fishwife can misplace. h's and utter vulgarity in such a rich, melodious voice as is rarely heard in aNew York drawing room.

A WELL OPENED THROAT.

English speakers also open the throat more widely than we do. All singers understand the great difference between the round note emitted by a well opened throat and the flat, thin sound produced by a languid singer. To an Englishman Americans seem to speak with the throat but half open.

Cultivated Americans and the gentry of England and Ireland differ not so much in their modes of pronouncing words as in their manner of intoning sentences. In the speech of Irish people we hear a fall in the voice at the close of almost every phrase or sentence. The first words are spoken in a higher musical pitch than the last. Americans, on the contrary, speak with a rising inflection toward the close of the phrase or sentence. The English speech, except when impassioned, is comparatively a monotone. Hence Flora McFlimsey destroys all the unities when she is simultaneously "vivacious"and "English."

Our belles nowadays speak with a stress laid on every fifth or sixth word. The everrecurring emphasis suggests a page from an old fashioned novel of the bitter sweet sort, where the tale is all of love and woe, and the sentences strewed with words in italics or small capitals.

This is utterly un-English. Though our belles call the street cars "trains," frequently say "Dont you know

and do not often for

get to pronounce "a" broad, they have by no means succeeded in identifying their speech with that of the daughters of Albion. Whether it is desirable that they should do so in all respects is, to .gay the least, an open question? But it will be certainly well that they shall cultivate low, pleasant speaking voices, such as Taine praised, and such as are not only "English, you know," but also "an excellent thing in woman.*'—E. M. Hardinge in The Epoch.

Tlie Transitional Period.

We live in a revolutionary time. The old order of thought has given way, and the new is not yet crystallized. In this transitional period domestic life suffers loss. It is not noble and dignified as of old, nor yet the fair and gracious estate it will eventually become. If I had time to be a woman with a mission I should go up and down the world trying to persuade other women that by being the patient mothers of children, good housewives and real companions to the men of their choice they were doing the best there was to do. The wife stands at the point of power, for complete living is only to be found in the .union of two. This relation satisfies all the needs of a woman's nature, presents that variety and periodic change so essential to healthful feminine growth, and affords the best conditions for the development of mind and character.

Herbert Spencer Is right when he says: "It is a truth yet remaining to be recognized that the last stage in the mental development of each man and each woman is to be reached only through the proper discharge of the parental duties. And when this truth is recognised it will be seen how admissible is the ordination in virtue of which human beings are led by their strongest affections to subject themselves to a discipline they would else elude." This is the way "a little child shall lead them." To the last syllable of recorded tima one profession for women must ever hold the first rank as a calling of gnat dignity and beauty—the profession of a matron.— Louise Fiske-Bryson, M. D., in New York Sun.

Distilling Cold.

It hits long been known that gold is to some extent volatile at high temperatures but it is evidently far more volatile than has hitherto been believed. Mr. Crookes mentioned incidentally at the last meeting of the chemical society that be had found gold to boil violently when heated in the oxyhydrogen and, in fact, to be so volatile that there would seem to be no doubt that it might be distilled in an apparatus similar to that employed by Stas in distilling silver.—The Athenaeum.

IN EMERGENCIES.

WHAT TO DO WHEN A BLOOD VESSEL IS INJURED.

In Cases of Hemorrhage More Apprehension is Excited Than is Warranted— How to Stop Bleeding from Arteries and Veins—Valuable Advice.

When profuse hemorrhage from a wounded blood vessel occurs, the beholder, be he friend or stranger, is in many instances so terror stricken he looses all presence of mind, and thus many lives have been sacrificed which might have been saved by timely intervention. In nearly all cases of hemorrhage much more apprehension is excited than warranted. The amount of blood actually lost is generally much overestimated, There is a common expression, "a little blood makes a great show." This is quite true for a small quantity will soil much clothing, and but little need be added to a basin of water to render it very high colored.

It is well to remember that one-eighth of the weight of the human body is blood in other words, that, in a person of average size, there are from sixteen to eighteen pints. In health, a pint—even a quart—of blood can bp withdrawn from the vessels without injury, and doubtless in but few cases would a loss of one-third the entire amount contained in the body prove fatal. From this statement it must not be inferred that when hemorrhage occurs treatment may be leisurely applied far from it. The bleeding should in all cases be immediately arrested, if possible. The reader should know, however, how great a loss can be sustained, without life being threatened, for it is often fear of immediate death that is terrorizing and raiders one powerless in such emergencies.

ABTKRIBS AND VEINS.

v'.

An artery is known to have been wounded when blood of a bright red color spurts out in jets, corresponding to the beats of the pulse. If a vein is opened, dark red blood Sows from the wound in a steady stream. Bleeding from wounded arteries is in nearly all instances by far the most dangerous. In cases of hemorrhage at all profuse, firm pressure should be instantly made directly Upon the bleeding part. The next step to take will depend upon the situation and character of the wound. If the injury is

011

either of the limbs and is severe, it is always well to have the patient placed flat on his back and the injured member elevated and supported by an assistant. During this procedure the bleeding must be prevented by unrelaxed pressure.

If a small artery has been cu it will be known by the size of the jet which spurts out when the wound was received. In such cases bandaging directly over the wound will often control the hemorrhage. A pad should be made a little larger than the cut, by folding or rolling firmly apiece of cloth. This, when ready, should be placed over the wound, the fingers which have previously grasped it being quickly lifted up for the purpose, and as quickly should they renew their pressure on the pad. Over this a bandage can then be applied, apiece of sheet, three or four inches wide and six feet long, being used.

If the bleeding has entirely ceased, to wet and keep the bandage saturated with cold water and the limb supported is all that there remains to da If, however, the bleedbig persists, then the treatment to be advised when a large artery is wounded must be employed. In such cases no attempt should be made to permanently arrest the hemorrhage by bandaging the wound, but between it and the body, around the limb, a firm bandage, twisted handkerchief, large cord or a piece of rubber tubing should be drawn tightly and tied in a knot, to shut off the supply of blood. Not until this is effectually done should pressure of the fingers on the bleeding part be relaxed.

A SIMPLE LAW EXPLAINED.

In cases where the wound is large, and several small arteries are opened, and pressure with the finger does not control the bleeding, then the ligature should be applied above the injujy. Bleeding from small veins is generally easily controlled by bandaging over tho wound. When, however, important vessels are opened, as is sometimes the case with enlarged veins of tho leg, then the blood should bo cut off from the bleeding part by tightly bandaging, not between it and the body, bat between tho wound and the extremity. This simple law may easily be explained tho blood goes to the extremities through tire arteries, but returns through the veins.

To control hemorrhage in some situations is more difficult than in others. If a large artery is opened above the knee or elbow it is doubtful if a bandage can be drawn tightly enough to cut off the blood between the wound and the body without improvising a tourniquet To do this is easy, however. A common handkerchief can be tied loosely around tho leg or arm, and the slack taken up by twisting with a cane or stick until sufficient pressure is exerted to prevent the passage of blood to the wound. The advice of Dr. Hope is well worth remembering:. "If you be by yourself in the fields, and get a severe cut with & scythe, or in any sudden emergency, such as a railroad accident, use the remedy which has saved many a life on the field of battle. Take a handful of dry earth, put this on the wound and grasp tightly till you call for assistance."

As previously stated, in nearly all cases of hemorrhage from wounds there is no necessity for the alarm often shown, especially as fear perverts the judgment of those who could much more serve the true interests of the sufferer by keeping cool and collected. Of course, In all emergencies a physician should be Immediately sent for. If the bleeding is controlled by prt rnxre of the fingers, all other operations which follow can be done leisurely, as there is no urgent haste and none Should be indulged in.—Journal of Health.

A Big, Horrid Xea.

It was in Waukesha last summer that a Chicago woman became acquainted with a distinguished professor from the east. He was a man of grave and dignified demeanor, and inspired the somewhat flippant Chicago woman with no little awe With the professor was his young wife, a particularly quiet yoang woman, who seldom spoke. The Chicago woman, being left akmo with them, undertook to funiisb tho chat. "I was sitting out hero on the piazza last night," said she, "after every one elae had left, and I chanced to overbear a scrap of conversation from one of tiie windows.
