SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.-The first submarine
telegraph on the American continent has been
put in operation under the arm of the sea which
separates Prince Edwards Island from Nova
Scotia. 1t is l4O miles long, five times the
length of that from the French to the English
coasts. This telegraph is a link in the line
that is to be used, in connection with the ocean
steamers, in bringing England and the United
States within five days communications con-
Summation that is confidently expected. Gleason.

Poison FANG OF SERPENTs.-The instrument
with which the cobra and other vemonous ser
penis are armed in so deadly manner, consists
of several parts, namely, the tooth or poison
fang, the movable stock or handle in which it
is fixed, called the jaw, the muscles or moving
powers of the jaw the bag containing the dead
ly liquid called the poison sac, the pipe which
carries the venom into the tooth or poison duct,
and the squeezer or muscle that drives the ven-
ON from the bag, along the duct, through the
tooth into the wound which the latter inficts.
The tooth is not implanted in a socket like or
binary teeth, but is firmly soldered, as it were,
TO the Jaw bone, which commonly has no other
tooth to support, and is singularly modified in
sizs ar9 shape, to allow Of the movements re-
quisite for the deep plunge of the tooth into the
object aimed at. The tooth, in structure re-
sembles what is called the canine tooth, which
consists of hard, pointed, long and slender
cone, with hollow base, and if we suppose
such slender and partly hollow cone to be roll
ed out fat, the edges then bent towards each
other and soldered together so as to form a ca
nal open at both ends, we shall form good idea
of the general form and structure of poison
fang. The edges of the fattened tooth wheel
we have supposed to be so approXimated, are
bent round the end of the poison duct, which
closely adheres to and lines the canal, and the
line of union of the two edges runs along the
front and concave side of the slightly curved
fang. The barrel aperture of the poison-canal
is oblique and It's opposite or terminal outlet is
still more so, presenting the form of a narrow
elliptical longitudinal fssure at short distance
from the fang's point this is left solid and en-
tire, and fit for the purpose of perforation. 1t
is only the upper jaw that is so armed, and it is
so formed that the upper jaw of the venomous
serpent is not fixed, but plays or rOtates back
wards and forwards, having special muscles for
those movements which, when they push for
ward the Jaw bring the tooth attached to it into
a vertical position, ready for action, and when
they draw back the jaw, replace the tooth in
horizontal position where it rests, with the point
backwards, hidden in bed of soft and Shiny
gum. The wound is inflicted by blow rather
than by bite, the poison fangs, when erected,
are struck ike daggers into the part aimed at,
and as the action of the COMPRISING muscles OF
the bag is contemporaneOus with the blow
by which the wound is inflicted, the poison is,
at the same moment, injected with force into
the wound from the apical or terminal outlet of
the perforated fang.-Scientifc Ame'fcan. ~

EARLY EM1GRANTs TO TEYyEssEE.--Emi-
grants from Ireland sought the wilds Of Ameri-
ca, through two avenues. The one by the Del
eware Bay, whose chief port was Philadelphia
the other bya more southern landing-the
port of Charleston. Those landing at the latter
place. Immediately sought the fertile forests of
the upper Carolinas, where they met counter
tide Of emigration. Those who landed on the
Deleware, after the desirable lands, east Of the
Alleghanies, in Pennsylvania, were occupied,
turned their course southwark, and soon meet
ing the southern tide, the stream turned west
ward to the wilderness long known as ''the back
woods, or beyond the mountains now as Ten
nessee. These two streams from the same
original misunderstanding and inter
mingling in the new soil, preserved the charac-
teristic difference; the one possessing much CT
the air and manner of Pennsylvania, and the
other Of harleston.-Ransseys Tennessee.

LABOR.
BY MRS. FRANCIS osoooD.

Pause not to dream of the future before usi
Pause not to weep the wild cares that come Ger US
Hark-how creations deep musical chorus
Unintermitting goes up into Heaven
Never the ocean waves falters in flowing;
Never the little seed stops in its growing;
More and more richly the heart keeps growing;
Till from its nourishng stem it is riven.
Labor is Worship''-the robin is singing,
Labor Is W Worship"-the wild bee is ringing;
Listen: that eloquent whisper unspringing,
I Speaks to thy soul from out natures heart.
Fran the dark cloud flows the life-giving shower;
FrosA the cough sod grows the sQ breathing aquer;
From the small insect the rich coral bower,
Only man in the plan e'er shrinks from his part.
Labor is life-'tll the still water falleth;
Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth;
Keep the watch wound for the dark rust assailethl
Flowers droop and die in the stiffness of noon.
Labor is glOry!-the flying cloud lightens,
Only the waving wing changes and brightens,
Idle hearts only the dark future frightens,
Play the sweetkeys wouldst thou keep them in tune
Labor is rest from the sorrows that greet;
Rest from all petty vexations that ever meet us;
Rest from sin promptngs that ever entreat us,
Rest from world syrens that lure us to i'll.
WOrk-and pure slumbers shall wait on thy pillow,
Work-thOu shalt ride cares coming bilow,
Lie not down wearied meath woes weeping willow!
Work with a stout heart and resolute will!
Droop not, tho shame sin anguish are around thee!
Bravely fling off the cold chain that has bound thee
IL
Rest not content in thy darkness-a clodi
Work for some good, be it ever so slowly;
Cherish some flower, be it ever so lowly;
LabOr-all labor is noble and holy;
Let thy great deeds be thy prayer to thy God.

SENATOR EvERETT.-The speech delivered q
few days ago by Mr.. Everett, upon the Central
American question, has placed him in com
manding position in the Chamber. But the def
erence with which he was listened to-as an
authority rather than as coequal debater, does
not surprise US. And why? Simply because
Mr. Everett entered the Senate and argued the
question ike statesman.
1t is pity that this valuable quaity--states.
n0nship; is becoming such curiosity in our de-
bers dumb. The public men of America, who
came upon the stage within the last twenty-five
years, have been SO stained with party politics
at home, that when t!.ey arose 70 address their
colleagues, they are denied the attentive con.
fdence to which they were probably entitled.
But Mr.. Everett is not of this class. The world
is quite aware that he has always voted with
the Wings; yet the world knows quite as well
that the right of opinion has never been degra-
ded by him into political servility. At homs
and abroad he is recognized as the accomplish.
ed scholar, the national-hearted American en-
bassador,the industrious representative, the calm
Minister of State, the selfsacrifeing College
Presidentwho was always ready with his learn
ing and eloquence to charm lecture room or
enlighten Senate.
These habits of thorougness in the perform
ance of his duties, have been the source of Mr..
Everett's power. Men rely on him. No one
ever dreamed that he would trim to the wind,or
swerve from the right, for the rewards of author
ity. Office has sought him. In all of his wri-
tings and speeches he is the uncompromising
enemy of exaggeration and over statement
True moderation balanced his Judgment. Nor
is the character of his style different from that
of his logic. What Pope was in poetry, Ever
EFT is in eloquence;prof ound sense is ever adorn-
ed and illustrated by the most graceful fancy.

PROSPECTUS OF
THE L0UD0N FREE PRESS,
For 1889

Having assumed the onorous and responsible
duties of public journalists, we feel the Just de-
sire to increase the circulation of our paper,
rs it will not only increase our capabilities of
doing good, but at the same time give us rea-
sonable remuneration for our labors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have determin-
ed to send out this Prospectus with request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send us the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet,
appropriate acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring us subscribers have
not been unnoticed by US.
We deem it unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition of the leading features of the FREE
PRESS. Its political complexion is uncompro-
misingly WHIG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times Of unrelenting political warfare has
for time at least ceased, and those so long and
so recently in antagoniStic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
Interests and the hue glory Of the land. We
look to the promotion of the interests OLA gricul
ture, of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important to the improve
ment of the country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided. These great interests shall have our
warmest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment to the importance Of
industrial progress-of enrching our fields, of
beautifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
As to the merits of the FREE Pass it is for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavcred to publish paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filed with
readable understanding the latest Foreign
and Domestic News-ful( and impartial quota
tions of the Produce Markets of Loudon, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
vile, with occasional quotations from other i'm
portant points--together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season-also the prices of Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders a broad and correct basis of judgement in
regard to this important article of trade. In
a word our paper is for the business men of
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our circulation,
and have determined to offer the FREE PRESS
at greatly reduced prices to Clubsmoney TO
