ALL GoNE.-There is singular and la
mentable history connected with the barque
Abby Barker, of Yarmouth, Me-, now lying
at our levee. She was commanded by Capt
Timothy Pratt. His wife and family were
also on board with him. Capt. Pratt died a
short time before the arrival of the barque at
San Francisco. Augustus Pratt; his son,
who had been acting as mate, then took
charge and brought the barque into the Bay,
and up to Sacramento. On the Both of last
month he became one of the unfortunate VIC
Tins of the cholera. One hour afterwards
his brother Enos died. On the ist instant
his brother William died ofthe same disease.
On the Sd Dutch boy belonging to the ship
died And on the 5th Mrs Jane Pratt, the
wife of Capt. Timothy Pratt died, leaving a
little boy nine years of age, who has been
kindly taken charge of, and will be sent to
the States by the earliest conveyance. 9th
ers were taken sick on board the barque,
and sent to the hospital, until the vessel was
entirely deserted.
The finale of the matter is, that she has
fallen into the hands of the Public Admins

GENIUs.-Self-commu and solitude are
its daily bread; for what is genius but great
and strongly-marked individualitv-but an
original creative being, standing forth alone
amidst fhe undistinguishable throng Of Our
everyday world? Genius is lonely power
it is not communicative; it is not the gift of
out upon the soul. 1t is essentially an in
ward light, diffusing its clear and glorious
radiance over the external world. 1t is a
broad flood, pouring freely forth its deep
waters; but with its source forever hidden
from human ken. 1t is the creator, not the
creature; it calls forth glorious and immor-
tai shapes; but it is called into being by
nOne-save COP.

The BUTCHER HAYNAU.-This Infamous
woman-whipper, and murderer of good and
true men, left England, it seems, two days
after being mobbed by the burly brewers of
Bankside. His original purpose had been
to visit Paris before returning to Germany;
but bis experience in London warnee1:. i.im iin

he has probably saved his neck by needing
the warning. Mortilying as was his recep-
ton in London, ne must have felt ssIll more
keenly his disgrace when he reached CO.
logne, on his return to Germany. He was
recognized in the railroad cars, and when
he reached the city not an omnibus, chase,
or hack driver would carry him. or his bap-
gage, TO a hotel; and finally the police hae
to interfere to procure him a lodging :.
W3 arc not the admirers or apolesis,s of
Lynch Law; but if ever there was case ia
which the spontaneous outbursting Of popu-
lar indignation admitted of Justification
surely this was that case. 'Fhe conduct of
the Cologne people is especially appropriate.
They showed their estimate of the wretched
man, no, by illegal violence, but by shun-
ming his society, and refusing even to afford
him conveyance or lodging. May the

MILKING IN AUsTRALIA.-Thisi is very
serious operation. First, say at four o'clock
in the morning, you drive the cows into the
lstock-yard, where the calves have been
penned up all the previous night in a hutch
in one corner. Then you have to commence
a chase after the first COW, who, with per-
versty common TO Australian females, ex-
poets to be pursued two or three times round
the yard, ankle deep in dust or mud accord
ing to the season, with loud haloas and a
thick stick. This done, she generally pro-
ceeds mp to.the fail, kind of pillory, and
permits her neck to be made fast The COW
safe in the fail her near hind leg is stretched
out to its full length, and tied to convent
lent post with the universal cordage of
Australia, piece of green hide. At this
stage, in ordinary cases, the milking COM
mcnces; but it was one of the hobbies of Mr.
Jumsorew, practice | have never seen fol-
lowed in any other part Of the colony, that
the cows tail should be held tight during the
operation. This arduous duty conscientI-
ously performed for some weeks, until il
happened one day that a young hefer slip
ped her head out Of an ll-fastened fail, upset
milkman and milkpai, charged the head
stockman, who was unloosing the calves, to
the serious damage of new pair of fustians
and ended, in spite of all my efforts, in clear
ing the top rail of the stock-yard, leaving me
flat and fabbergasted at the foot of the
fence.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTRIC TELEGRAFH.-
An English magazine, the Mechanic s, "
in an article upon the extension of electric
Itelegraphic communication between France
and England, by the straits of Dover, ar
CUES from the fact of the complete success
of that undertaking by Messrs. Jacob and
John Brett the engineers of the Calais and
Dover line. teleSs-crrh, that the syc;1ilI syys;1ilI
may be extended to the East even to Hindo-
stan, and westwardly, under water and over
land, to Ireland and the United States. Ii
says: An electric telegraph to Calais is not
a thing which will stop there. 1t is a tele-
graph to Vienna, to Moscow, to Constantine
pie, to Ispahan, to Delhi, to Calculate
the remotest bounds, in short, of Europe and
Asia. A few years ago people laughed
when Lord Palmerston predicted at the
Southampton meeting Of the British associ-
alton that time might come when the min
lister of the day being asked in Parliament,
" Whether it was true that a war had bro
ken out in lndia;" would reply, "Wait an
instant till telegraph the Governor General,
and will tell you" What was thought
but good joke in 1913, is now, in 1880, in
the course of being actually accomplished,
and ere few years more, is likely TO take
its place amongst the sober realities of the
age Nor to the Old World alone need our
views of the ultimate progress of electro
telegraphy be confined; for, since the En-
glish channel has been crossed, the crossing
Of the Irish must follow next, as but a mat
ter Of course; and Ireland once reached,
there lies but couple of thousand miles or
so between the Old World and the New
We say but" for after all where is the
practical difficulty Not in producing the
length of wire required; for any length Of
wire can be spun-not in covering and in
sulating the wire; for thousands of miles Of
wire can be covered and insulated Just as
readily and surely as one-nor yet in laying
down; as the Dover and Calais experiment
has fully shown
The only real difficulty in the case, we
apprehend, will be to find ship-room for the
enormous coil of wire that would be required;
but this is an objection which vanlshes be-
fore TIE recollection Of such leyiathan struc-
lures as the Canada and Great Britain.
Besides, means may be found to effect on
board the laying down vessel,a perfect juno
ton of different lengths of wire, so as TO al.
low of two. three, or more reels being en-
ployed. We assume, Of course, that bat
tery power sufficient to transmit the electric
impulse through wire some two thousand
miles long is at our command: but though

TRIUMPH OF HUMANITY We mentioned
in our last that the bill abolishing hogging in
the United States Navy had passed the
House at Washington. We are now per-
mitted to Congratulate our readers on its
success in the Senate also. On Saturday
last it came before the latter body, and con-
trary to our fears received majority of
votes. The Presidents signature is all that
is now needed to make it law of The land,
and that will not be withheld. The cat and
the colt hencefor,h are to be banshed from
the American Navy; the backs of osr brave
seamen are no longer to be torn and butch
cred by &c a little brief authority" Thanks
to the spIrit of progress, and the deepening
sentiment of humanity; thanks in peculiar
measure 10 that devoted and almost unaided
laborer in this cause, Watson G. Haynes,
who for years has toiled increasingly for the
of this object.

when down come all four feet again together,

as if about to take flight The herd only

ADULTERATIoN OF CoFFEE.-Our attention
has been again called to the enormous extent
to which the adultera,ion of coffee is now
carried on by many of the retail dealers in
the metropolis, as well as in the provinces.
We have had repeatedly to call attention to
this subject for the last two OF three years,
but chiefly in reference to the large proper
ton of chiccory mixed up with the ground
coffee principally consumed by the working
classes. We are given to understand, how
ever, on authority we have no reason to
doubt that much more deeterious substances
are mixed up with coffee on an extensive
scale. This aduteration, it appears, is car
ried to the greatest extent in the very neatly
made up packages imposed upon the con-
sumer as a superior article, the exterior ap-
pearance of which is rendered very attract
i've. Mahogany sawdust, for example, is
stated to form a considerable portion of the
compound, and it is carried on with perfect
impuDity, in consequence of no risk being
run, by the parties being subject to no scru-
tiny to ascertain the purity of the article
The Indifference which has been shown on
the subject by government is strongly ami
madverted upon, and is considered to have
given great stimulus to the adulteration.

possibility of this for granted, we know that
the recently receiving magnet of Morse is
founded on the principle of counting for no
thing the mere distance the electric message
has TO be transmitted, and at all events, the
fact is one capable of tentative determlna-
tion on land, before single yard of an At
lantic line need be laid down. The Old and
