Sawvet Fin-ey Burese Morse died in New York lax 17 minutes before eighto’clock. Prof. Morse was born on the 2th of April, 1791, in Charlestown, Mass. He grad- uated at Yale College in 1810, an] became a pupu of the celebrated painter, Benjamin West. Some of the young artist’s paintings were highly meritorious. His ‘Dying Herenles,” exhibited at the Roya! Academy, London, received grea: praise, and later he painted a full length por- trait of Lafayette for the city of New York. In 1826 he was elected president of the National Academy of Design in New York. In 1335 he completed a rude apparatus to transmit mes- sages through wire by electricity. In 1857 he came to Washington, filed his caveat, andasked for a Congréssional appropriation ‘for a hence to Baltimore. ‘The sewion passed with- out action, and he went abroad. England refused him a patent, Wheatstone having in the meantime got’ to work. In France Prot. Morse obtained a breret d'invention At last came the close of the Congressional ses- sion of 1843. On the evening of March 3 the professor gave up in despair, returned to his ho- tel -broken in spirit and bankrupt in purse,” to start for New York. the next day. “At the midnight hour of the ‘expiring session,” by a vote of 89 to $3, the bill was passed, and in the morning the inventor knew the dawn which tol'ows the darkest honr. On the 27th of May, 184, the wires bad been erected between this city and Baltimore, and the first message, «What hath God wrought?” passed over them. The first information giver by the telegraph was that of the nomination ot James K. Polk for the Presidency by the Baltimore conven- tion. In 15514 convention to select a uniform system for all Ge:many adopted his; in 1857 the representatives of the chief European powers, assembled at Paris, presented him with 400,000 francs on account of his invention. Yale made him a doetor of laws. France enrolled him in her Legion of Honor. Austria, the German States, Denmark, Turkey, gave him of their highest honors. His fame followed the wires till the globe was girded. Last year the Central Park statue to him was raised i din New York, and the grand celebration was held at the Acad- emmy of Music. —-+0e- ‘The Charity Ball The verdict of everybody who visited Masonic Temple last evening was that the calico ball there and then given for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital was one of the most elegant and agreeable entertainments ever given in the city, both in the quality of attendance and the general effect on the most fastidious eye. Very rarely has there been gathered together any- where so many picturesque and really beautiful costumes, whether reference is had to the style: of the material selected or the tasteful eanare jate manner in which it was fashioned ino appropriate for the occasion. Out of all the ladies present, perhaps not more than a di zen wore iiresses’ of ottrer than the prescribed material, and these, rich, showy, and elegant as they were, actually suffered by contrast with the more picturesque and gay atterns and ‘The eve ane as intimated abor nee, was very large, included the best families rent: dent and vislting here, and it 1s not too mace t> fay that all were delighted with the evening ghout. Each committee had done its whole duty, and oy So was done that could be done to make the ball a success.

Mr. Mullett was before the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds again this morn- ng, and testitied that the plans ef the new State Department building, as far as completed, and the general design had been submitted to the secretaries of State, War and Navy, and bad veen approved by them. Assoonas he was able, aiter he read the newspaper charge that the walls had been affected by frost, he examined he walls and found nothing at all to indicate such injury. Witness was shown the piece of Seneca stone from the walls, and previously ex- tibited im committee, and said it came from an unfinished portion of the wall,and bad been broken off bya blow from a hammer in putting ap the derrick, and not by the frost, as showa by its being from the bottomof thestone. There is no rubble work in the building except the blue stone backing in the foundation walls. The Seneca used is what is known as block ashler eut from block rabble, « description nw stone between .abble and dimension stone, known in New England as “picks and points.” The highest tests ot English sandstone was the abroath” stone, which bore a pressure ot 7,584 pounds tothe square inch. The Pe and (England) sandstone, from which both Houses of Parliament and was built, bore but 4,000 Seneca bore a pressure of 10,762, which made !t the strongest sandstone known. Taking th basis the walls would bear a weight 9% times great as required for safety. Considered the piece shown in committe a good stone, and -hould not hesitate to use it. Censidered Seneca more durable than bluestone. This was shown by the surface of quarries, where the bluestone Was rotten while the Seneca was hard. N: con had ever approached him to induc: ure Seneca stone. Knew enly by report who were stockholders in the Senecacompany. Had heard and beleved the President was a stockholder. Would prefer Seneca to brick, it building tur himself, although sufficient strength in brick, aud brick would cost but about half as much! In cave of a breakage ef pines, the bricks would absorb more water and more damage to the walls. His estimate of saving of £24,000 was based upon the expense of cutting for the State Department wing of the building, which is bet one-fourth of the building contemplated. The other wings have not veen yet authorized by ‘aw. When completed, it is intended to include the State, ace dene War De ments. Mr. Mullett then explai about the locks on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. The upper locks were of Seneca stone, and were in good Paul's cathedral ¢rnshing pressare. order; the lower ones were of Aquia Creek eand- stome—the same as the center of the peed porosities Soman a He hoped committee wou! some day and xamine the locks « — and the Seneca quarcy for Dr, Kidwell, who was present in behalf of the Seneca company, also an invitation to MG the committee to visit the quarri Michael McGowan, practical stoné-eutter cellent building best ventor of a tied to bavingenmeerens Mouse, claiming that a large & a a Ba of inentuogtoat tne bent aestetcataarts use was recommended by Messrs.

In the p esent state ot he finances of the city of Washington he di not think it advisable that Congress should per mit it to embarrass itselt. In reference to the opular vote in this DI , that did not heve much influence with him, for in every commu- y there were many us who were per- ectly indiflerent as to the amount of the public iebt, or how it was increased. Twelve thousand were said to have voted for this sebseri: out the vote of Wa: ‘med a majority of the d did net vote at all on the £655,000 had been already sub- ad, and that the city of Wash- ngton would not _be asked to pay its subserip- ich until this 5655,000 had been paid up.

The Board of Trade was almost manimons in iis favor, and the bill toauthorize he subscription had passed the lower hoase of he legivialive assembly by a vote of 17 to 2. Bir. Nye read from the report made to the Legislative Assembly of the District and wo the Georgetown Board rade, setting forth the ulvantages of the proposed road. ir. N. then preceeded to advocate the necessity and the »enefits of railroads, and said that ke was the eatest shame that the capital of this great country should be so poorly povided with rail road tucsities. No such policy prevailed in any ther country in regard to its capital, and be ould uot understand such short-sightedness, Here was a road which would bring New York miles nearer to Cincinnati than by any exist- ng route. Who could doubt that it would bean sdvantage to the city of Washington? The ‘apital of the country was to-day blessed with ‘ne little railroad that backs in and backs out. Hie intimates! that the opposition of some Se ors to the bill arose from the fact that th swned houses in ihis city, and feared a little more taxes. Mr. Frelinghuysen renfarked that Mr. Nve ‘ad bit the nailright on the bead. That was he very thing, this was a matter of business, it ‘concerned the property-holders, they were the nes that were interested and they ought not to ve taxed without their consens. Mr. Nye indicated his opinion that the major! y of the property interests favor the building of he road. Mr. Robertson wanted to know why the prop- rty-holders who were in favor of this did themselves without attemp'- not subscribe to Hd to compel tue other property-holders to do © same. ‘Mr. Nye said Washington was to be the win- er Newport of America, and every means of ‘btaining access to it sheuld be fostered.
