ANEW ADJECTIVE WANTED --The Telegraphic
News Agent At Halifax, in sending over the
wires the announcement Of the disaster to the
Atlantic Cable, says: "Unfortunately the cable
broke, and one of our provincial contemporaries
yesterday remarked that he regarded the dis
aster As s'most unfortunate" But such an
event needed no cpithet to intensity the feeling
of deep regret with which the news was receiv-
ed. There was no word in the dictionary which
properly expressed the event. II was something
more than misfortune. II the careless EMF.
neer who checked the cable had broken his
arm while doing it, be would have been unfor-
tunate; but the swapping Of that little cord as il
dropped into the ocean was swapping the hopes
Of ali the civilized world which hung upon il.
Millions Of human hearts have already felt the
thrill which must have passed like al electric
shock through the aeet Of noble ships engaged
in laying the cable when the announcement was
made that it had p1rted. Never before since
the world was created were there SO many ewes
fixed on SO small an Object. To denominate
such catastrophe misfortune Is hardly doing
the disaster Justice; new epthet is needed 70
intensity, or at least properly express the mag
nitude of the mischief.
