Breaking Of Ihs TeIegraph Cahle.


In another column will be found most
interesting letter from the New York Times,
giving full particulars Of the attempt TO
lay the telegraphc cable, and the accident
by which the consummation Of that impor-
tant enterprise was frustrated. From the
facts presented it is apparent that even II
the break had not occurred, the vessels
could not have reached Newfoundland, oW-
to the cable being so materially shortened
by the under current swinging it OF from Q
right line, and thus making the distance
greater than was allowed for. About six
hundred miles of additional cable was car.
red to meet all contingencies, but that
would have been entirely too small guam
tity. A margin Of one thousand miles
might bave covered the whole ground, but
even at that estimate there is no certainty.
All depends upon the strength Of the under
currents crossing the ocean plateau, along
which the cable is to be stretched. But
the brief experience gained BY the attempt
just made is Of great importance in arming
the company with additional facts upon
which to base their preparations for . sec
ond attempt Whether second effort win
be made this fall has not yet been deteFm-
ined.
The tone Of the English press is spirited
and confident, and no fears are entertained
as to the ultimate success Of the undertak-
ing. The London News sayS:-"The first
attempt to connect the New World with
the Old by means Of the Submarine Tsle-
graph has proved failure. In this result
there is much cause fer immediate regret
none for permanent encouragement. TIE
Atlantic 1iH not be dnnibiIated this year, bat
the success of The great erpeTimsnt Is only
postponed for season." The Star in motto
ing the fact that ell first attempts 10 lay
telegraphic cables have been failures, thus
alludes to the recent breaking Of the cable
intended to connect the Old and New
World:-"7 This is tie first -electne eabIs that
has BEEN sunk either IN this or any other eOun-
try to tAs srteus cf tlres hundred and thirty
fps miles; but iii q singular fact that. with
the exception Of the Norwegian telegraph
cable, Of some ninety miles long. tis f,sf
attempt IN svsry prsviOus experiment. for lay
ing DOM submarine cable has BEEN a fall
ure, although he second attempts hare Den
sHocsssftl"
From all the facts connected with this
experiment can be extracted sufficient ID
formation to justify q confident belief Of
the entire practicability Of the tslegrnphie
Communication across the Atlantic. Up
to the period whek the cable parted, the
electric connection between the Niagara
and the shore had been preserved unbroken,
although three hundred and thirty-hve nan
tical miles Of the cable had been laid. The
renewal Of this enterprise Is looked for
ward to with great interest in all parts Of
the world. tits The crowning glory Of the
century, and this failure win but incils iis
projectors to still greater efforts, IN order
to fulfil the expectation Of the public in
this enterprise.

BY CHARLES NACEAY.
When was a dweller in Cloudland,
dwelt in q rich and proud land;
was lord Of the cline,
was king of the time;
And the sun and the shower,
The leaf and flower,
All came to my bidding in Cloudland.
| was monarch supreme in my Cloudland,
/ was master of fate in that proud land,
would not endure
That grief without cure,
A love that could end,
Or false-hearted friend,
should dwell for an instant in Cloudland
Ny Cloudland, my beautiful Cloudland,
Imade there great and proud land;
With skies ever bright,
And with hearts ever Light.
Neither sorrow nor sin
Found harbor within,
And love was the law Of my Cloudland.
But alas for myself and my proud land:
There came revolution in Cloudland;
My people untrue,
Broke my sceptre in two,
And false to their vow,
Took the crown from my brow,
And banishd me far from my Cloudland.
Ny ClOudland, my beautiful Cloudland
How happy was in that proud land?
All the wisdom I've won,
Since my realm was undone,
Is but poor to repay
What lost in the day
When turned my last look upon Cloudlant
0,ye thoughts and ye feelings Of Cloudland
Ye died when quilted that proud land!
wander 'discrown'd,
On bare chilly ground;
An exile forlorn,
Weary, weary, and worn,
Never more to revisit my cloudland.

Manners. Male and Female.

Who can tell why women are expected, on
pain of censuro and avoidance, to conform TO a
high standard Of behavior, while men are in
dulged in another a great deal lowerl We
never could fully understand why men should
be tolerated in chewing Of tobacco, in smoking
and in splitting everywhere almost and at all
times, whereas a woman cannot do any Of these
things without exciting aversion and disgust.
Why ought man be allowed to drink liquor
I'LL his breath is offensive, and his manners vul-
gar, while woman must do nothing which
shall be indecorous in the eye Of the most fas
iidious judgments Why should man be al
lowedly SO self-indugent, putting his limbs and
person in all manner Of attitudes however I'M
coulh and disiasteful, merely because such vul-
gariiies yield him temporary ease, while wo-
man is always required 10 preserve an attitude,
If not Of positive grace, at least Of decency and
propriety, from which if she departs, though
bot for an instant, she forieis respect and is in
stanily branded as a low creature
Can anybody say why man, when he has
the tOotLache, or is called TO suffer in any way,
should be permitted, as a matter of course, TO
gioan and below, and vent his feelings very
much in the style of an animal not endowed
with reason, while woman similarly suffering
must bear it in silence and decoruml Why
should men as a class habiually, and as a mat
ter of right, boldly wear the coarsest qualities
of human nature on the outside, and swear and
crowd and fight and brutify themselves, so that
they are obliged 10 be put into separate pens
ia the cars on railroads and at the depois, while
women must appear with an agreeable counte-
nance, if not in smiles, even when the head,
or perhaps the heart, aches, and are expected
to permit nothing iIl-Iempered, disagreeable, or
even unhappy, 10 appear Outwardly, butto keep
all these concealed in their own bOsOms, to suf-
fer as they may, lest they might otherwise les
sen the cheerfuness of others
These are few suggestions only among
many we would hint to the stronger and more
exacting sex, to be reflected on for the improve
ment of their tastes and manners. In the mir
ror thus held up before them, they cannot avoid
observing the very different standards by which
the behavior of the two sexes is constantly reg
ulated. If any reason can be assigned why
one should always be a lady, and the other
hardly ever gentleman, we hope it will be
done. -NelDdrk Advertiser.

COLLEGE READING.-A friend tells us a good
story illustrative of fact which is not so gen.
orally credited in certain circles as it ought to
be. We will repeat the story for its moral
At St. - is a college whose students did
not excite the most profound admiration for
their common sense. The youths were gener-
ally drawn from the weather. classes, and
seemed to think college course everything
that was necessary TO fit them for leading po-
stion in society. AT one of the commence
ments, Judge H., one of the most admirable
lawyers and excellent in tho State, was
chosen for the Ma Pi Coppa address. Hissub-
ject, by vote of graduating class, was recon-
mended to be: "The Dignity of College Ed
ucation," and the public was quite qtti UiUe on
the occasion, expecting something very fine.
The evening came, and with it densey crowd
ed hall to listen to the judges Grafton. When
all was ready, he came forward, and the follow
ing was his speech
Ladies, Gentlemen, and Young Men of
Graduating Glasgow see before you man
who never experienced a college education. He
was born of poor parents; he grew to boyhOod
on plow-handle, and TO manhood foot and
alone. His education was CLEANED from tomb
stones and sign-posts, and his first honor came
in the shape Of two dollar fee for pleading
the cause of a negro who had been knocked
down by a cUllege student. From that day
have entertained a contempt for ''college bred'
boys, college morals, and college requirements,
and feel happy, on this occasion, in testifying
my thankfUlness for the poverty which kept me
out Of the college, and threw me back upon my
own resources and energy for living. They
have not failed me; and trusting that you may
profit by my example, | here wish that yop may
all take your first lesson in common sense by
going to the plOw-handle. and working your
way up TO the defence of negro; then you
will be fitted for some degree of usefulness, ac-
cording to the degree of brains God has endow-
ed you with" t&
So saying, the Judge bowed himself from
the stage, amid such storm of applause as
rarely greets a speaker. He evidently had
made a "hit' in several ways, not the least Of
which was in teaching the young men that true
eminence can come as well from the plowshare
as from the college. &
