Xot long ngo the papers of tho country were tilled with accounts of the steanior Faraday nnd the new cable she was land ing on tho coast of 3Sow Hampshire. This calls to mind the history of a young jour nalist of Washington, and I repeat it as of interest. The. young roan referred to came to WusliliiRtoc soon after the closo of the war to correspond far the Chicago Post and Albany Journal, fie was very young and inexperienced, but a good telegraph operator. Failing to cure the news he wanted by personal observation and in vestigation lie adopted a method which was as novel as it was successful. lie could read the Morse alphabet by sound. This was bis stock in trade. Up on it he operated, and for months was re cognized as one of the most olevor and en tertained news-gatherers at ilie Capital. And all without any labor on bis part. Ho would rise lata, stroll down to the capitol about noon ( just when the other corre spondents were sending off their despatch es), wander into the telegraph office, listen to the click of tho wires, and then write and send a telegram containing all the im portant items the other men had gathered. It was easily done and eminently success ful. Complaint was made of him, but it was unavailing. He overreached, however, and felU The Washiugtoiijri'eaty was being considered in executiv4Msion of the senate. The doors and windows were closed ; but no thing could binder our hero. He climbed to the top of the building, crept over the Senate chamber, and lying 3at on bis face short-handed every word of lie treaty as it cams from the lips of tow clerk and arose to the ceiling. He sold It to the New York TriUuue. The' New York Times correspondent was angry, and exposed him and bis papers dismissed him. Unwilling W be idle, be sot bis active brains at-work inventing telegraph instru ments. When the French cable bad been laid ho bad been commissioned to report the event. He boarded the cable ship and watched the operations of the telographers. The method was this ; A needle, like that of a compass, swung on a pivot. The cur rout of electricity coming over the wire moved it to the right or left. A deviation to the right meant a dot ; to the left a dash. Thus the Morse alphabet was used. The movements of tho needle were so slight that a mirror of great magnifying power was necessary for its profitable reading Even then but fifteen words could be communicated in a minute. Our hero thought that he could do bet ter. So, as I said, be sot his wits to work, and, after two years' hard labor, has just produced his machine. By it be can take llfty words a minute, or more than three times the number that could be received by the old process. A company of New York capitalists has been formed to operate the patout, and our hero is a millionaire, . and but twenty-live years old. . A $150,000 Fee . The son and heir of the lato Edwin Ste vens, Mr. John Q. Stevens, although he is a possessor of almost unlimited wealth, beiug worth some $75,000,000 ; has, until very lately, been a most unhappy man. He has lieen afflicted since bis birth with a peculiar wen, which has increased year by year until it covered a large portion of his face and neck. It was a most unpleasant object, beiug covered with hair.and strange resembled an animal No man could see it without a shudder, . and ladies have . fainted at the sight of it Of course Mr. Stevens folt the affliction most keenly, and . it bad, naturally enough, a most depressing effect upon his spirits. What was his immense wealth to him ? Any workman in liis employ was more to be envied than he. He became morose and almost melancholy ; society that be was exceedingly fond of he studiously avoided, and, although a young man, be became almost a recluse. The best physicians and surgeons of Europe were consulted but they all said that to remove . . t . t . a , . ,.., . , me wen oouiu out result in uis aeain. Al though his life was so miserable still there was bope, and he bore bravely up against repeated disappointments. Deliverance came, at last, and a tew days ago an opera tion was performed which has made him a liew man. Dr. William Parker, of New York t'ity, had faith to believe that the wen could be removed. He told Mr. Ste vens so,.snd the young man, grasping at the straw promised f 150,000 if be would perforin .the operation successfully. He did so, aud.liM earned the everlasting grat itude, as wsll as the money, of the young juilliotiahe .vU is now pronounced out of danger.' The operation was performed with electric knives, audit is said tbat when the horrid tumor was removed, the skin beneath was so sound and smooth as that of any part of the body. Notwithstand fiitf the cloud 4bat'bas bung over bis whole Mr, (he young man 'has bad hi love affair, like the rest of us. la early youth be was lictrothed to a little gixi, the daughter of one of his father's dearest friends, who always loved him, and so mured his afflic tion. While the hateful tjilnj: was upon him, it U said, Mr. Stevens, ve up all idea of tMiing married, but now tbt it baa been removed, we shall expect soon to bear f a great wedding ftstivlUci t Uvboken.
