Some three weeks ago we published an article
headed "Seven and half days 10 Europe" 1t
las gone the rounds of the papers. We learn from
an English paper that we can now very materially
shorten the time.
It is known that for some months past, expert
ments have been made TO test the capacity for
speed of new models of vessels. The result, it is
now alleged, is that vessels can be built which
will make the run from Galway Ireland, to Hall
fax, in less than four days. The new vessels are
10 be OF vast size, nearly twice tonnage of the
largest steamers now aaoat, with model peculiar
ly adapted to speed, and with engines of twice the
power of any now in use on our largest steamers.
Thus far greater speed may be attained with equal
safety; and at less proportionute expense. This
accomplished, and the railways completed from
New York to Halifax, or the extreme northeast of
Nova Scotia, and across Ireland and the time from
New York 10 Liverpool will bereduced to less than
six days. The Eaglish paper says, 'th;s is no
speculative statement"
submarine telegraph is also about 10 be laid
down between Halifax and Galway. This will
complete the Telegraph line ftom London TO NV
York. ard events occurring in London. Paris, and
even Vienna, and many other parts OF Europe may
lie known in this country the same day.
Verify, the age of wonders seem; to be just
dawning on the world. hen we can go from
Pittsburgh to London in seven days, the editors of
this paper intend making the trip.-PittS Post.

a Recommendation for Office.

The KnC kerbOcker for July contains number
of specimens ofleteIs from office seekers and their
friends. We copy one from MIR. Twist to Cover

ut any moment to die for his country and fat Of
flee:
''The bearer, Martin Van Buren, Phips, is an
applicant for some easy office, and, am happy to
say, is an out-and-out Democrat. He voted for
Van Buren, in 40, for Polk in IA and '4S, being
puzzled with the claims OF the contendimg factions,
polled two votes, one for Van Buren, and one for
Mr. Cas-, evincing spirit of Cancellation ard
high toned principles which puts the blush on
ali other compromise measures. Mr.. PhpS, can
truly say, is active, energetic, and industrious
Democrat, but is unable 10 discharge very many
outdoor duties, as he is suffering under physical
disability, having, some years since, SpraneI his
ankle badly. The circumstances attending this
physical disability may not be undressing, as IL
Illustrative of the sterling Democracy inherent i'll the
man. They are these: He was engaged with
some young Democrats raising hickory pole
They had accomplished their object, and young
Phps was determined to place the stars aud stripes
upon the top of the pole. For this purpose he
commenced climbing; but alas! havins arrived at
the dizzy height OF Ten feet, the pole gave way,
and he was hurled mSerably 10 tie ground, with Il
severe confusion the leShy part of the leg, and
with his left foot spraned terribly apparently not
realizing the extent Of the injury, he waved the tat
tered ensign over his confused frame, and gave
three hearty cheers for James X. Polk. Such De-
mocracy should not go unrewaTded; and hope you
will be able to place our unfortunate friend IN
some easy position, where his physical disability
will not be antagonSt:C 10 his progressive Denoc-

SUCCESSFUL TAcr.--The elevation of Mr.. La
bouchere, now member of the british Cabinet, is
rather a singular story. In 1922, Mr.. Labouchere,
clerk OF the barking house of Hope, of AmSter-
dam. was sent by his patrons TO Mr.. Barring, the
celebrated London banker, 10 negotiate loan.
He displayed in the affair so much ability, as TO
entirely win the esteem and confidence of the Eng
liSh banker.
"Faith,'' said he one day to Barring ''your daugh-
ter is a charming creature; IwiSh could persuade
you to give me her hand"
.'Young man, you are joking; for seriously you
must allow that Miss Barring could never become
the wife of simple clerk.'
"But," said Labouchere, if were i'll nartner-
ship with Mr.. Hope?''
ooh! that would be quite different thing; that
would entirely make mp for all deficiencies"
Returned TO Amsterdam, Labouchere, said TO
his patron, "you must take me into partnership"
'sNIy young friend, how can you think of such a
thing? 1t is lmpossible-you are without fortune,
and
"But if become the son.in.law of Mr.. Bar
ing?''
ain that case the affair would be soon settled,
and so You have my word"
Fortified with these two promises, Laboucherc
returned to England, and in two months after mar
ried Miss Barring, because Mr.. Hope had promised
to take him into partnership; and he became ALI
ed 10 the house of Hope on the strength OF that
promise of marriage.
