MwtTiva or ini; Franklin Institute —lntkr
islimi Pkocktmsss.-The monthly meeting of
Iho Franklin Institute last evening was of
usual interest and Tory largely attendort. Attor
the ceasl business, including a rcp<nt frotn th
Board of Managers advising an »PP’ ! ,“ U p nn l °
the Legislature for the use °/j Lh Sode»
souarcs. which was approved by too society,
the Rcsidnit Secretary. Prof. Morton, read his
report on ‘'Novelties in Science and **?"
charilc Arte.*’ At the opening of this report ho
alluded to the gunpowder pile-driver inventedlby
Mr? Thomas called upon that gentle
mam vhn «ni(i Broffutt lo liivc & foil explanation
ome a™tui TwV, with the aid of a work
?ng mo&Wnd diagram projected on the screen,
was vc-tr successfully accomplished.
Thi* Instrument consists of a heavy steel cylin
der, open above, and resting on the head of the
pile to be driven, and a rain or weight, with a
plunger, Cuing this cylinder, and moving vortl
cailv above it in guides, near the top of which is
a rack In which a paul on the ram catches and so
holds the ram np until released by pulling a cord.
The ram being hoisted to the top of the guides,
to begin with, a 6mall cartridge is thrown into
the cylinder, and the eord being pulled, the ram
falls. The plunger enterß the cylinder, explodes
the powder bv its porenssioh, and is driven back
to the top of ihegpides by the force of the explo
sion, where its paul catches on the rack and
hold's it readv for another blow. The amount of
powder required is wonderfully small. In the
model used, where the ram weighed sevenpotmds,
the charge was half a pißtol cap full. With a
larger machine in use, having a ram of sovonty
two pounds weight, rising twenty feet, the
amount is an ordinary pistol charge, or about
half a thimblefull. The practical effect ol tho
doublo blow obtained by thiß arrangement is
shown to be at leaßt eight times that produced
by the mere fall of the weight. This admits of
explanation on the received principles of me
chanic?, but we havonot here space for a discus
sion requiring so many words.
In the course of the Secretary’s report there
were also exhibited a set of photographs of the
late total eclip6e of the sun. obtained from Dr.
Vogel, of the North German expedition, through
the kindness of Mr. E. L. WlUon, editor of the
Philadelphia Photographer. These were projected
on the screen, as were also drawings exhibiting
tho reenlts of tho late remarkable discoveries msde
with the spectroscope by Lockyer and Jausen,
and a number of photographs of improved forms
of machinery, including an hydraulic d redge, by
Messrs. Gwynne & Co.; the Babcox & Willcox
engine pulleys for Bhort belts; adjustable hangers,
by J. W. Loraine; Pitt’s safety bathing apparatus,
&c. A beautiful experiment, being in fact an
artificial production of the rose-colored promi
nences of the sun, was shown, and alsoa remark
able secondary battery, invented by Dr. George
PercivaL which, charged by a feeble current
daring some minutes, milled down and consamod
thick pieces ot iron wire in a few seconds.
A resolution was offered by Mr. P. E. Chase,
and warmly seconded by Mr. Caleb Hallowell,
directing the officers of the Institute to memo
rialise Congress as to the propriety of appropri
ating funds, to be expended under the direction
of tho Coast Survey and Bureau of Navigation, io
making observations of the total eclipse of the
sun, due August 7th next.
The meeting was then, on motion, adjourned.
Pennsylvania Training School rob Feeble-
Minded Children. —The sixteenth annual re
port of this institution, made to the Legislature,
has been received. The institution is locatod at
Media, Delaware county, and was incorporated
April 7,1803. The report shows that sloce the
foundation of the school 501 inmates have re
ceived shelter, nurture and training. Of these
there were orphans,2G2; children of the poor, 286;
mutes, 89; semi-mutes,ll3; defective articulation,
150; defective in sight, 97; defective iu hearing,
98; unable to walk, 15; imporfect gait, 241; unable
to feed themselves, 66; unable to dress them
selves, 91; uncleanly In habits, 195; destructive,
295; epileptic, 111; malformed, 51; scrofulous,
401.
Under the improvement of natural growth and
favorable treatment, theie have been, taught to
speak, 37; articulation improved, 196; taught to
read, 187; taught to write. 113; taught to feed
themselves, 46; taught to dress themselves, 70;
taught to walk, 6; gait improved, 214; reformed

196; epilepsy cured, 16; epilepsy improved, 57.

tion improving, 134; at home; condition sta
tionary, 57; at home, aiding In household ser
vice, 52; at home, self-helpful, 108; at home, en
tire’.y dependeat, 57; at common schools. 19; at
trades, domestic or farm service, 37; in “oouuty
houses," self-helpful, 15: in “county houses," en
tirely dependent, 7; removed and condition un
known, 108; at present in institution, improving,
159; at present Id institution, not improving, 21.
The report saye:
“By examination of the above statistics, it will
be realized that orphanage, poverty and disease,
are prevailing conditions to which it has been the
sad office of onr work to minister, as well as to
defective minds and perverted morals; when mo
mentarily discouraged, as we occasionally are,
with the slow advancement of our legitimate
work, we find ourselves deriving some satisfac
tion from these moßt evident facts, that the great
majority discover in us their only iriends, that
many homes are brightened, and many heavily
burdened mothers relieved; that many sisters and
brothers are receiving full parental and school
care, because of the withdrawal of these helpless
and shadowing ones to a home and associations
far belter suited to them. They must be re
moved to an artificial home, adapted to their un
natural condition, else the natural home becomes
no resting place for any of its members.
“This then becomes one of the essential advant
ages and one of our proposed duties,to relieve the
home, indeed, neighborhood where the child has
lived."
The operations of the school during the paßt
year are thus set forth :
Number of inmates December 31, 1867, 175;
admitted during 1868, 51; removed during 1868,
86; on roll December 31, 1868, 180. Of 86 re
moved there are: Deceased, 5; discharged im
proved, 22; discharged not improved, 6; removed,
and in remunerative employ ment, 4.
The 180 inmates are from States as follows;

New Jersey, 21; Pennsylvania, 136; Delaware, 5;
Maryland, 5; Virginia, 2; Alabama, 2; Missouri, 1;
Ohio, 1; Indiana, 2; Illinois, T, Cuba, 1. Number
on State Fund of Pennsylvania, 80; uumbor on
Slate Fund of New Jersey, 10; nurnbor on State
Fund of Delaware, 3; number ou City Fund,
Philadelphia, 12; number on Soldiers’ Orphan
Fund. Pennsylvania, 2.

Jolin Briffbt on capital Punishment.
| From the Springfield Repablican, Feb. 17.)
The following letter from John Bright to one of onr
countrymen, though written more than a /ear ago, is
just published, ana is of general interest:
Dear Sir: 1 do not think the punishment of death
is necessary to the security and well-beim* of society;
and I believe its total abolition would not tend to in
crease these crimes which it is now supposed by many
to prevent. The security and well-being of society do
not depend upon the severity of puuiahuieots. Barbar
ic m in the law promotes barbarism among those sub
ject to the law : and acts of cruelty under the law be
come examples of similar acts done contrary to law.
The real security for human life is to be found In a
reverence for it. If the law regarded it as inviolable,
then the people would begin also so to regird it A
deep reverence for human life is worth more than a
thousand executions in the prevention of murder,aad
is. in fact, the great security lor human life. The law
uf capital punishment, while pretending to support
this reverence, does, in fact, tend to destroy iL If the
ceath peralty is of any force in any case to deter from
crime, it is of much more force in lessening wur ehief
security against lt,for it proclaims the fact, that KWig-,
rarliameLt, Judges and juries may determine when
and how men may be put to death by violence, and
familiarity with this idea cannot strengthen the rever
ence for human life. To put men to death for crimes,
civil or political, is to give proof of weakuesa rather
than strength, and of barbarism rather than Christian
civilisation. If the Vuited States could get rid of the
gallows, it would not stand long here. One by one we
“Americanize" our Institutions, and I hope, that in all
that is good we may rot be unwilling to follow you.
1 am, very truly yours, Joun Bam nr.
Hon. Beverdy Johnson’s Speeches.
A despatch from Washington giving the summary
ol the correspondence between our Government and
that of Great Britain relating to the Alabama claims
question, says:
‘•ln his letter of the 15th of January, inclosing the
two treaties, Mr. Keverdy Johnson alludes to the po
sitions taken two years ago by England, and says that
be has reason to believe that the abandonment of
t hese positions is due to the growing friendly feeling
lor ihe United Suites which has beeu so strongly ex
pressed since bis arrival, and then conveys the pleas
ant inloruialion ihut, anticipating such an effect,he de.
tennlued to lose no lime in cultivating the feeling,
nnd this was the sole motive in the speeches he made
last Fall in various parts of England.”
CITY NOTICES
Caiunkt Oiujans.—The Bucceas of t&e Mason
& Eamliu Organ Company, now the largest manufac
turers of instruments of this class in the world, pro
ducing and finding a demand for an average of one
hundred and twenty-five organs per week, illustrates
what can be done by energetic and porscverlng pur-
B ultof right principles iu business. The following are
what may be said to be Articles of their Constitution,
kept always in view and never deviated Jrom:
1. Excellence iu the manufactured article must
never be sacrificed to economy and cost. The host,
only and always.
2. No degree of superiority shall be conelde:ed aat
it factory us long as improvement is possible.
9. The use ol every valuable invention and real iin_
provement mast be obtained, at whatever cost.
4. Productions t» be sold at lowest possible prices;
these to be printed and offered to all alike, thus deal
ing fairly and impartially with the public.’
This Com pan y have expended an immense amount In
experiments for improvements, in which they have
been greatly successful, developing, enlarging, im
proving and adding to the well known Melodcons of
former times, until they have becomo the magnificent
Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs of the present, to
which was awarded the Paris Exposition Medal for
superiority last year.
They have just introduced an important improve
ment, the Mason & Hamlin Improved Vox Humana,
a beautiful invention, which is said to be as great an
advance upon the Voz Humana already ased as the
Cabinet Organ is upon the Melodeon. They also an
nounce Important reduction in prices, offering their
unequalled Organs at prices which ore oven less than
those commonly demanded for inferior workmanship.
This is the natural result of their greatly Increased fa

1,000 MILES

UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD
ARE NOW COMPLETED
An 500 miles of the western portion of tho lino, begin
ning at Sacramento, are also done, but
267 MILES REMAIN
To be Finished, to Open the Grand
Through Dine to the Pacific, This
Opening will certainly take plaoe
early this season.
Be aides a donation from tho Government of 12.800 acroa
of land per mile, the Company is entitled to a subsidy in
U. 8. Bonds on its line as completed and accepted, at the
average rate of about £28,500 per mile, according to tho
difficulties encountered, for which the Government takes
a second lien as security. Whether subsidies are given
to any other companies or not, the Government will com
ply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to which
tfre Company will be entitled have already been delivered.
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDI
A.T' PAR.
By Its charter, the Company Is permitted to tone it*
own FIRST MORTGAGE BOND 3 to the same amount a*
the Government Bond*, and no more. These Bonds are
a First Mortgage upon the entire road and all its equip,
meets.
THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN. AT SIX
PER CENT . and both
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
PAYABLE IN GOLD.
Burb securities are generally valuable in proportion 1o
the length of time they have to run. The longeat six per
ef*nt. gold Interest bonds of the U. 8. {the ’Si's) will bo duo
ha 12 years, and they are worth 112. If they bad 30 year*
to run, they would stand at not less than 128. A perfectly
safe First Mortgage Bond like the Union Pacific should
approach rhis rate. Tho demand for European invest
ment Is already considerable, and on tho completion of
the work will doubtless carry the price to & large pre
mium.
BECtTBITY OF THE BONDS.
11 needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of
$56,600 per mile ur on what for a long time must bathe
only railroad connecting the Atlantic and Pacific States
is pERFEoriT REotBE. The entiro amount of the mart
gsge will be about $30,000,1)00. and the interest £1,800,000
per annum in gold. 'The.proeent currency cost of this in
terest U lees than 82.600,000 per annum, while tho gross
earnings for tho year 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only,
cm AN AVERAGE OF LESS TUAN 700 MILES OF

FIVE MILLION DOLLARS,
The details of which are as follows

This large amount la only an indication of the immense
trade that must go over the through line in a few month*,
when the great tide of Pacific coast travel and trade will
