BKEW8TF.lt, Proprietor. ptereHiumnu*. THE ORIGIN OF THE ELECTRIC TELE GRAPH. In 1831, and part of 1832, the writer, then studying in the schools of the world renowned Paris, had his lodging in the modest tipper chamber of the unpretend ing “Hotel do Calcutta,” in the “Rue de Savoy,” near the famous old “Point Xeuf,” on the students’ side of the Seine, in-the "Pays Latin." At the same time there lived in the same hotel another young compatriot, also engaged in the prosecu tion <>f his studies. His calling led him into very different places front those frequented by the writer, but on Sundays and holidays a visit to the Louvre often found the latter standing, in wrapt admira tion, before an immense canvas, reached by a stage eight or ten feet in height, upon which tlie former was daily engaged in copying the great picture of the “Ship wreck.” which at that day, graced (and perhaps still graces) tin- wall of the first room of the grand gallery of the Louvre. Time passed on, and as the picture ad vanced to completion, and tiie artist grew in reputation, his friends augured most favorably for the future fame of one whose first finished piece produced him (rumor said) the handsome sum of one thousand dollars. ’ In the summer of 1832, this artist was on his way home in one of the fine ships of tlie Havre and Xew York line. Steam tlid not in those days, puff the traveller on his homeward path across the grand Atlantic in seven or eight days, and ad verse winds not unfrequently protracted the voyage far beyond tliu endurance of impatient absentees, lunging for home, for fame, and for fortune. The voyage, on this occasion, was unusualy long. Tlte passengers had used even- ordinary re source by which they might hope to sub tract an hour or two from the tedious time. All bad been employed and all had been exhausted, and ail lmd failed. At last a fellow-passenger, whose stud ies bad also been going on in that grand old omnibus, Paris, and who like the painter was returning home with head and heart both filled, iike his. with hopes of greatness, and the means of achieving it, and whose career lias been hardly less successful, brought on deck his scientific apparatus, and proposed to lop off an hour or two from the tedious time by exhibit ing experiments. Electricity and galvan ism contributed to their quota. In one of these experiments tlie effect produced was seen at a considerable distance from the instrument that was working. An Eng ■ iishman, who was carelessly looking on, remarked, “What a pity we can't send j messages ns quick as that.” | The remark seemed to pass away like the spark that had occasioned it, for no further reference was made to it, but it was seed that hail fallen on good ground, and in due time it sprang up and bore fruit a millionf-old. Arrived in Xew Y'ork tlie ennuye pas sengers separated. Hut nothing was heard of the ambitious painter, whose copy of tin- shipwreck had spread his fame ahead of him. The old rope walk that stood on or near (he spot on which the distributing reser voir of the Croton water now is, was hir ed by some unknown person, who was en gaged In some unknown experiments which did not scent to give much promise of useful result, since month after month and year after year passed by, and stil tlie mysterious workman was as dark and ! mysterious ns ever, and bis barred doors still defied tlie curiosity of the curious,'till at last even tlie mystery itself ceased*to attract notice. Ten years passed thus, and at the end of tlrat time Morse emerged from his rope walk with his Telegram accomplished and electrified tlie world.—Iiural Caroli nian,. CARRIAGES. C.
