The (tenth, on Monday, May 13th
1878, at 12:30 P. M., of Joseph llonry,
l.L.J)., and Secretary of tho Board ol
RcgenU of tho Smithsonian Institution,

her grandest ornaments. In a brief
newspaper sketch of bis life, only a few
of its most salient features can be men.
tioned ; the perlect memoir must be
kit tor some one who has time, learn
ing, and the material at hand requisite
to honor its rnemory with anything
iiku justice.
rmlcssorllenry was born in Albany,
New York, December 17, 1707, and
amid surroundings respectable, but not
altluent. lie attended tho common
schools of his native city, but was by
no means regarded as talented. lie
afterwards attended the Albany Acade
my, and while there ho road a book
entitled "A Fool of Quality," which
made a marked inipresnion upon bis
mind and created a strong desire lor
reading. At this point in bis life, be
was greatly ahmrbed with his own
thpughts, seemed to bia friends much
abstracted, and to be living ulinost
wholly in the rcnlin of imagination. It
was then that lid dreamed dreams and
suw visions of the wondrous resource
in nature, which somo Godlike power
might evolve and make useful to man
kind, llib uiiclu bad tried to induce
bim to join with him permanently in
the jewrliy and watch making busi
nens, and though he tried it, his taatee
sought other employment. Ho was
attached to the Board ol Survey of
New York Stato, and acquired readily
:j 1.1.. .,:...: . i i 1
eunniuurauiu uiniiiiuuun, lor me ouni
nest was congenial, and be made par
tial plans to join the Typographical
Kuemoers ot the United States Armv.
Iil.lteG be. was elecuxl a Professor of
Mathematics in the Altmny Academy,
and in 1827, fifty-one years ago, he
commenced that system of original re
search, and made tbat first discovery
in electro-magnetism, which in a tew
years revolutionized the old standards
of thought and tho methods ot its com
munication, liefoft) Henry, theelcctro
magnet was known, but principally as
a scientific plaything, and feeble in its
effects. The mighty energies, then as
now, slumbering in soft iron, wero un
suspected. He found out their power,
created tho electro magnet, and from
that day to ibis it has not been in any
radical respect changed. A great sci
entist in 1824 groat lor those days
by the name of Itarlow had declared
obimoricnl the' idea of an clcotrio tele
graph. Henry's next step in discovery
was to demonstrate how the difficulty
ol exciting magnetic energy at a great
distance could be overcome, and to do
this he invented and constructed the
intensity battery, and he went a step
farther and proved how an iron bar of
largo size could bo thoroughly magnet
ized by a quantity or a succession of
batteries witb scientific) appliances,
such as bolicue making short but sepa
rate circuits. It was this intensity
that made the invention of tho tele
graph, as it is now used, possible. With
out it this tremendous instrument and
power in the administration of the
affairs of tho world would still be
asleap in tho possibilities of bciepoo
and Nature. Early In 1831, In a punier
published in tho AmrT.'ttM Journal of
Science, Prof. Henry distinctly outlined
tho practical uses ot tho intensity mag.
Met In the development of the electric
lulegraph. He was now thoroughly
aroused. Ho had no caro for riches.
He was an explorer of tho secrets ot
nature The only prizo that lured
him was the gratification of finding nut
something new. That same year, 1831,
he constructed the mechanism for keep
ing up continuous motion by the aid
ot electro-magnetism,, and ho also
made another machine capable of pro
ducing signals at a long distance, and
ihuw were followed by tba onnstrue
tion ol an electric apparatus through
which heavy' weights could be made
to fall by the breaking of the currents,
tlemado eloctro-magnets of immense
power, Bapahle, some ol them, of lifting
inoro than a ton. In 1832 he produced
Boundary currents, and by magnetic
induction the rlectrio spark.1 This
year Ptadossor Henry was elected to
the chair ol Kataral l'bilosopby In
Princeton College, which ha retained
until 1846, when be accepted the grave
responsibilities of the position be bold
when be died. He had pressing and
munificent offers to return to his chair
at Priaceton, a salary for life the same
as at the Smithsonian Institutionand
the promise ol 110,000 to his family
wnon he should leave It, and from other
sources h had many brilliant offers ;
but he declined them all. In a hun
dred ways, at this period, and after-
waras, be was approached by persons
who wished the nee of bia name simply
in furtherance ot private schemes and
stack- -operations, offering bim larre
soma therefor but all these he firmly
rjeclined, and to-day no blot nor stain
can ba found upon lbs record ol bis
official and private lifo.
In 1837 Professor Henry visited
Europe, and at onee was in familiar in
tercourse with the eminent scientists
thcro, particularly witb Prnf. Wheat
stone, who bad invented the magnotio
needle. In 1840 ba was elected Prosi
deut of lb American Association for
tb Advaaretnentof Hoiemoe. la 1868
bs was chosen President of tbeNailonal
Academy of Soieoces, and in 1871 .be
was made Chairman of the Ligkthoaae
Board of tba Treasury Department,
lie baa written awd peWiebed, ta vari-
oua scientific Journals sad magazines,
more man nity elaborate ireau oa
subjects with which be was familiar,
and many of tbem have bean translated
into eevural foreign tongues, and he
has written many voluminous and ex
hanstive reports : but be has never
written, singular as the fuel mat' seem
one single regular book. Tho list and
titles of his papers can bo referred to
in the itoyai society catalogue oi scien
tifio papers. In Johnson's now L'ni
vernal Encycloptrdia, Prof.dHonry has
a most oluborute articlo on Uygromo
try, or moist measure, and in the same
work he bas a sketch of the lite ot bis
valued friend, James Wilson Grimes,
of Iowa, deceased in 1872 the great
point in the sketch being a vindication
ol Mr. linmes' vote in the Senate of the
United States against -the impeach
ment of Andrew Johnson.
Soon alter Professor Henry wont to
frinceton College, in 1822, be married
there Miss Alexander, the sinter of a
brother Professor. She survives her
noblo husband, whom she greatly re.
semblcd in gontlenesa and refinement,
benevolence and Christian charity, and
she is the recipient on every hand of
the sheerest condolence. Threedaugh-
ters also survive thoir honored father,
and the one who is an invalid is spe
cially remombered by sympathy in her
great grief. His only son was buried
some eighteen years since. Professor
Henry was a member of the JNew York
Avenue Church, and, unlike some great
men in science, he was an earnest bo-
liover in Ibe religion of Christ, to whose
lite bo assimilated that or bis own, as
tar as bo could. When the discussion
was rife regarding Professor Tyndall's
prayer test, rroiussor Henry said that
prayer was something above and bo-
yond science. He was a most devout
believer in Its efficacy, and around bis
hearthstone, prayer was nevor omitted.
Prof, ilenrv never durived anv necn-
niary benefit from bis Inventions, and
died a comparatively poor man. Home
time ago B4U,0(0 were raised by 1 rol
Henry's friends for bis use during his
lile timo, and a lotter regarding this
was read to tho Academy of Bcronres
the Kith of April lost, at that time in
session here. This fund will now re
vert to the uses of the academy, He
has boen a resident of Washington for
thirty-two years, and be diod in the
lull possession ol tho respect and afleo
lion of tho citizens of this District, and
of his wide and most honorable acquain
tance throughout tho world. He wan-
tod to live to seo a partial fruition of
bis pluns to carry out the will ol smith
son lor tho "incroaso and diffusion of
knowlcgc among manknid; but it is not
believed that they will bo materially
nllored by bia death, for they are so
oieur that his successor will be likely to
pursue the sumo course. Joseph Hen
ry lived a good and useful life. He
has gone to his reward, and into the
presence of Him who "sitteth an end
to durkness, and scarchcth out all per
I'octiou." IV(iA.'7fon Post.
OVERWORK.
When Prosident Orton, of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, lull
his office on saiut-lay evening, April
27th, be is said to have been iu espe
cially good spirits. There was appar
ently every reason why he should bo.
In the prime ot lite, be found bimsult
at the bead ol ono of the greatest cor
porations in tba world, and looked up
to as one ot the master spirits of tho
time.,. Fame, fortune, friends all
these be bad already secured, and a
rosy luture rolled itself out belore bim.
On Monday morning following, instead
of transmitting bis orders for the day,
the wires wore flashing tbe news of his
death. In that brief interval this
wondorful man of business had boen
stricken down witb that disease so fatal
to genius, industry, pluck and perse
veranceoverwork A . warning so
sharply pointed as this, should impress
itself even upon t,uis busy, reckless, and
headstrong age, but It is much more,
likely to be forgotten within tho wcok.

Our readers no doubt have noticed
that we have, abandoned tbe "Eastern
War." in a measure. The "tricks" ol
tho parties engaged In it, In tbe field of
diplomacy, are as apparent to tbe stu
dent of current events, aa those of the
expert gambler; nd frequently of as
low a character. r.ngiano fooled t ur
key, and Turkey bas tooled Kngland in
turn, whilo Germany and Austria bave
"played last and loose" by turns, and
now their great men are compelled to
stand out in bold relief, as either cow
ards or rare demagogues, whilo the of
ficials ol insignificant principalities look
on and laugh. Hut wc have digressed.
When we started out we proposed to
lay before our reader an article under
the above caption, taken from the IV ew
York H'orW, which glvos tho reader
and student of edrr -jA and historical
ovents an inside vruvt'-ui European af
fairs. The editor says :-
The account which we lay before our
readers of the. principality of Ron ma
nia, just now tho pivot of political in
terest in Kastern Europe, will enable
them to understand how deadly a blow
Russia proposes to strike at tbe future
of Roumanian independence and pros
perity when sho demands tho retroces
sion of tbat strip of llossantbia which
she was compelled at tbe peace ot fans
in 1856 to cedo to the now nationality.
At the outset ol the recent war with
Turkey Russia was forced to ncgotiato
with Koumama tor an alliance wblcb
she obtained and without which sho
could ncvor havo successfully assailed
European Turkey. It was the inten
tion of tbo powers which wrested a part
of Bessarabia from ber and gave it to
Koumama that tho cession should act
as a breakwater for Turkey and East
cm Europe against Russia aggression.
It has been clearly shown by recent
events that so long as Rusita cultivates
fair and friendly relations with Mourns
nia that principality may be counter!
on by her as an efficient ally in tbo
prosecution of such enterprises ae at
the beginning of this conflict tho Em
peror proclaimed his march against the
Ottomans to brT Her present demands
upon Jtnumanla, therefore, are justly
interpreted by tho Roumania, people
and by Europe to mean tbat she is im
patient of any restraint whatever npon
any plans which the may desire to ex
ccute in the East. Wore she to bb al
lowed to occupy Bulgaria under the
pretext of a temporary protectorate,
and at tbe same time to tako military
possession ot tho line ol tho i'nith, both
uotimaniaand Bulgaria would substan
tially become Russian provinces, and
tbe lllack Sea would become to all in
tents and purposes a Russian lake. Of
course from tho Russian point ot view
this is natural and reasonable enough.
The Russian people have a "manilesl
destiny" in which they believe; and as
tbey have made tremendous sacrinoes
and assumed great burdens in accom
plishing the final overthrow of the lur
kish power, they cannot be blamed,
perhaps, tor thinking that their own
manifest destiny is of higher impor
tance tban tbe dreams and desires of
the new Roumanians have done Russia'
good and real service in this war. Had
they not facilitated bur southward
march and lent her the succor or their
arms Plevna would neither have been
fought lor nor won. Th Roumanians,
thureforo, on their part would be enti
tled to a bearing from the European
powers which signed the treaty of Paris,
oetoro submitting to a virtual extinc
tion of their nationality, were their
fate a matter ot secondary interest or
of no interest at all to tbpse powers.
lint the tact that Roumania exists
shows that her existence is a matter of
very serious interest to the European
powers. Sho exists for the very par
pose which Russia now In th pursuit
ot ber own amp seeks to make it im
possible for Roumania to fulfill. It is
of great moment to Austria that Rou
mania should intorvenc as a reality and
not as a sham and a pretense between
tbe Danube and the frontiers of tbe
Russian power. It is a matter of mo
ment to the Western powers tbat Rus
sia should bo kept at arm s length cm
cicntly from the control of the same
mighty river, And above all, it fa a
matter ot moment to the most impor
tant of all tho powers of Europe that
Koumama should become solidly ostau-
lisbod as an intervening Stato botweon
Kussia on the one side and Austria on
tho other. It was because Prince BiB

bisoite of tbe Koumantan peoplo, who
ollered bim .that throne precisely be
cause they knew that by aocuring a
Prussian prmco to reign over them
they would guarantee their' depend
ence as between Austria and Russia
more effectively than in any other way.
If there wore nothing in the traditions
of Kussia and of Germany or in the sit
uation of tho two empires relatively to
one another which should make Berlin
regard a Russian attempt to absorb
Koumama or to reduce Koumama to
insiKiiilkaoco with distrust, the pres
ence of a prince of the Prussian royal
bouse on the lloumaiilao throne would
naturally incline Prince Bismarck and
the Emperor to interpose between the
Czar and th Domnttor. But, aa we
havo already shown in tliese columns,
Germany has mora reason to regard
tbo development of tbe Russian power
and tho extension of the Russian
dominions witb anxiety and con
cern than either England or Austria.
A ltd this not morel y becauso Russia now
possesses on tbe Baltic provinoes which
belong tq Germany by all tbe ties of
race, of religion, of language and of
history, and which chafe under tbo Rua
sian domination as Alsace and Lor
raine never chafed under tbo domina
tion of Franc even in tb days ot th
Fourteenth Louis ; nor because it will
be impossible lor Germany ever to at
tain her natural naval position in th
Baltic if Russia, already so lormidable
in lb Gall of Finland, can dould ber
sea strength by an uncontrolled maste
ry ol tho Black Uea ; but bocauso a so
cular purpose of domination over Ger
many has boen at th core of Russian
policy from tbe days of Peter th Great
to tli present hour. Tbe breaking
down ol Poland was th firat stop to-!
wards the elocution of this puroso;
and Germany owes much to the un
hesitating genius of the Great Freder
ick for tb boldness with which from
that nettle of danger be plucked the
flower of safety. Of all men in Ger
many to-day Prince Bismarck is th
loast likely to bave forgotten tho great
lessons ot the Seven Yean' War. Tb

decided majority of tbe eloctoral votes,
with a Republican Sonate and a large

tbe Democrats do tbe samo in 1881
with a Demncratio Senate, whether the
Houso shall be Republican or not 1 The

MARBLE REPEATS
FLORIDA STORY.
Till-
To the Editor of thi World :
Sir i The striking, dispatch from
Jacksonville, Fia., which you publish
tbis morning, as to tbo Florida election
frauds and tho confessions by McLin,
ex-Secretary of State and Chairman of
tho State Canvassing Board, and Den
nit, a leading Radical politician there,
would have boen yet more striking had
the Asssciulcd Press reporter possessed
a full knowledge of the subject matter.
Permit me to refer you for tbe real
sigiiifiuanc and a full account of tbe
frauds now confessed, to tbe following
telegram which I sent you from Talla
hassee, and which yon were good
enough to publish on the 2d of Decem
ber, 1876.
In the laborioua task of unearthing
or preventing fraud in lire Florida can
vas, which several Northern gentle
men sacrificed much time and thoir
privato occupations to accomplish, it
fell to my lot to request of three of
tbom tbe investigation and pi oof of
these doings, now conlessed, in Alachua
connly. These gentlemen were Sam-
uol It. Thompson, of rfiiladclphia (son
of tbe late Chief Justice); Malcolm
Hay, of Pittsburg, and Geo. W. Guthrie
(whose name identifies bis kinship), of
tbo same etly three lawyers, young
indood, but, for their years, esteemed
of tbe very foremost quality in their
profession. In four or five days they
returned from their arduous work in
Alachua to Tallahassee, bringing proofs
so completo, so well-digestud, and so
clear, ol tho frauds now confessed, tbat
the confessions sound to me like an
echo. Their proofs were so stringent,
indeed,, that they put ex-Governor
Jioyes, -of Ohio, now United States
Minister to r ranee, to tbe t rou bio ot
earning bis wages by as barefaced Com
plicity with fraud as the County Can
vassera had been, and the Stale Can
vassers, McLin and Cowgill, were like
wise obliged to be guilty of in order
to reach their end.
The prooft thus collected were press
ed upon the attention Ot tho Canvass
ing Board by tbe lion. Geo. W. lliudle,
the leader of tho Philadelphia bar, and
David W. Sellers, esq., his distinguish
ed associate whose trained appreciation
of their cogency and conclusiveness was
my warrant tor tbtr drastic language
used in the following dispatch to you.
I bo allusion to Gen. Harlow is now
good ovidence to mark his courage and
integrity wiien, very nuumy unt-r
these events, in a lotter to this New
York Timff, ho demonstrated that tbo
Tilden electors had a majority of the
votes cast in Florida. But I suppose
there are many persons of such consti
tution as to bo loss affected by these
Republican admissions ot those Demo
cratic proofs than by confessions of tbe
contriving or executive scoundrels
thomsolvos. One must wish therefore
that John A. Kimon would lay ifoirn the
mission t Austria and E. P. Noyet the
mitsion to Franc, and come home and
confess the truth along with their unpaid
accomplices Vinnis and McLin,

The Alachna frand are henceforth a
dark page in tbe country's history,
Tbe proceedings on Wednesday before
tbe I- lorida Board of State Canvassers
will stand as a black blot on even that
dark page. They signifiod that North
em Republicans who oame bora pro
fessing to desire and to be witnesses
of a lair count, bad chosen to shoulder

The tostimonv adduced on Wednes

cors was conclusive that 24 fraudu-

that at tho request of the inspectors he
had helped to count tho ballots, and
had benrd and noted tho declared and
true result of that count. Another les

laleo poll list, filed with tbe fraudulent
oeriifieato of the return, betrayed it
character in the compariso,i. Lumped
in a page belore the true names, wero
tho dead men's names and the invent
ed names that went to swell the trend
ulunt Republican majority. v ri ea:
In the aftarnoon.ox-Goveriior Noyos,
of Ohio.joad a long statement prepar
ed for Northern consumption, contra
dicting by wholesale the detailed and
accural testimony of tbe three wit
nestcs. He filed a batch of affidavits
purporting, unless closely scanned, to
support that wholesale contradiction.
Several of these affidavits were In onel
and the same bandwri tlng.lncluding the

with th mark of a oros,trAicA -per

their names in a dilleront hand out ol
228 affiants- Many name of the tig

Th manufacture was obvious, pot skill

It was not plausible. It ft difficult to
conceive thai an honest man of any in

an insult to justice and shocking to

It was proved lhat their numes and
marks subscribou to the itaycs auida

that they counted tho 300 and odd
votes actually cast, and thut no more
wero cast, it was proved that they
had strung tho ballots, locked tho box,
aud proclaimed the true result. It
was proved that they tiad afterwards
been approached una offered bribes by
Republican officials to help falsify tbe
true returns.
Now tor a correct apprehension of
ine a lac n u a irauus thus exposed, and
oi others whicn remain to be exposed
it is always to be remembered that the
wbole election machinery of tbe Slate

control of the Republican party, and

in'spito of and against tbo partisan
scannings of Republican election offi
cers are therefore not to be presumed ;
out irauds with their connivanco are
easy indeed. liow largo must bo tho
Democratic majority which such frauds
did not suffice to overcome. It is to
be remembered also that tbe election
laws of Florida are designed and en
acted to assist the successful perpetra
tion of fraud, not to render it difficult.
The Alachua frauds were tho contri.
vance of Governor Steam's Immodiate
deputy and friend in that county, a
scoundrel1 named Dennis, who, when
the names ot Moore and Dukes were
called yestorday, shot out of the board
room and took to his legs like a thief,

case the dispatch says bt was a gentle
man who waa prominent in such-and-such
a church, a tuperintendent in th
SRnday tcbojl, nd well known for bit
piety or words to tbat effect. It i
no new thing tbat men should wear
th livery of th court of Heaven to
serve tbe devil in ; but surely it begins
to bo lime for business mon to look
closer into the conduct ot officials who
hold iu trust tb money of others, and
that professions of piety should not
pans current, for mora than their true
commercial value. While it is certain
that a sincere and God-fearing chris
tian must bo an honest mto. it by no
means follows that all honest men are
pious, or tbat all who proclaim their
piety are honost. A melancholy fea
ture of the trouble it tbat christian
communities are so slow to believe lhat
professors of religion are hypocrites,
and thus tbey rally around men who
have been guilty of gross breaches ot
morality, and make common causa
with them, to tho great scandal of th
church. In the bosotted devotion which
Plymouth church showed for Henry
Ward Beochor, the fact that Schuyler
Colfax still goes around lecturing to
young mens' christian associations, and
grading from these down to the low.
ost hypocrites, there is always a sane
tunry for sanctimonious fraud. In
recent synod of a great christian
church there was a learned discussion
ot the "physical effects of prayer" a
question we bave no Intention to con
aider. For how small are tb inter
est which depend on it solution in
comparison with the spiritual and mor
al results of prayer ; and how subtle
is the assault on even th spiritual ef
fectsof prayer, when the jeering world
can look on and tee men loudest in the
tabernacle on Sunday are-swindling in
tba bank on Monday ; men who are
giving to tb establishment of missions
to-day and robbing tbe widow and or
phan of their savings to morrow I Far
be it from us to say that true religion
is not tbe ruling motivo of many no
blo and useful lives. On the contrary,
we know that it elevates the moral
nature ot all those who live by it But
in religion the great fact ia th rela
tion ot man to God : morality touches
only the relation of man t man. And
though these two go hand in band, it is
natural tbat the first in tbe minds of
many should overshadow tb second.
Tbat christian people should be ready
to forgive tbe sin ot an ernng brother
may be vory well, but tboy should not
be ready at the same time to condone
or shelter tho crime i tho offence
against God can be left to Hit justice
and mercy; the Offense against the
fellow-man should be punished with
inoxorablosoverity. Unless thit is done
there will be a conflict hereafter, com
pared with which that botwecn relig
ion and science will be insignificant:
it will be the conflict of religion and
morality. Baltimore Gazette.

lie dec I mod to tako tbe hint Ibe af
fair lod to a good deal of trouble of one
sort and another. ' Finally a compro
mise was effected ; tbe trustees passed
rcaolntions expressing "entire confi
dence in bis ability, integrity, sound
ness in the faith, fidelity, in hit tuccots
as a Professor and in bis general Chris
tian character," whereupon the Pro
fessor pocketed the resolutions and re
signed. rve know nothing or in merits oi
this particular case, but this much is
certain. The resolutions say all in
favor of tke Professor in question tbat
could bo said of any man wbat mora
could be asked than that a Professor
should bo able, honest, sound, success
ful, and his Christian character above
reproach f If -tbo trustees believed
tbat these resolutions expressed the
truth, there was no- xouse for their
action in trying to oust th Professor
lrom bis position, and bo ought not to
bavo resigned. But we more tban
suspoct tbat, bowovor true tbo resolu
tions msy bave been, tbe trustees did
not believe them to bo true. It is an
ovidont case of white-washing. .Thoy
weakly consented, in order to got rid
of the Professor, to give him a certifi
cate ot ability and character, of which
their actS proved them to believe bim
undeserving. Tbey couldn't sty no.
Tboro is too much of this sort of
thing don. It is no uncommon thing
for a church to smooth over a pastor's
resignation by the passage of resolu
tions which ascribe to bim talents and
Christian character that Paal might
bavo envied. Many s man whose
name carrios witb il no littlo weight
in tbo community will givo his en
dorsement to a worthless book or pic
lure, or to some brazen impostor, sim
ply to escape being bored, and because
ho ia reluctant to say No. Some men
have an apparent-horror of that little
monosyllable. And yet th power of
saying, it at the Tight time and In tbe
right place makes all the difference bo-
should bo too jealous of bis good name f
