ces tomorrow evening, at the Methodist
Church, or rather preliminary meet
inc will be held to organize fol another
term. The school the next term will

Mr. Foster, for popular manners, tho
rough musical knowledge, and what is
more, ability 10 impart that knowledge,
is unexcelled All persons desiring to
perfect themselves in this beautiful art,
or to acquire the elements, or spend
few hours each week in one of the
pleasantest exercises within the range
of innocent amusement, should attend.
The rate of charge for tuition is merely
nominal, and the term is heightened in
pro portion to the number of scholars.
There is much sterling musical taste
and ability in Nevada, as is evineed in
our chors, and social circles, and it
should be concentrated and cultivated.

method can be devised, than by general
attendance at the forthcoming term of

he dieta Of theorists Now thousand
Ieviathans of the wave traverse the
ocean in every direction.
The project of stretching a cable
along the bottom Of the ocean from Ire
land to the western continent is less
chimerical for our day than the naviga-
ton Of the Atlantic by steamers for the
day in which the scheme was preached
and the problem solved. The former
depends upon the latter. Nothing fur
Their is requisite to lay the cable than
such improvements in the paying out
machinery as will prevent too great a
strain upon the wire, and when the me-
chanism is adapted to the purpose, trip
across the ocean in fair weather will
unite the two continents; and then not
even oceans "interposed will make enc
mics Of nations" The great sub-ma-
rine cable will rob the dlplomatist of
half his trade, and will be worth to the
high civilization Of nations more than all
the diplomatic arts and peace congress
es the world ever knew. To see two
nations, rivals in every art that serves
to elevate and ennoble our race, unite
themselves, stretching arms under the
broad ocean so to do, is the great moral
epic of the age. 1t is the religion of
diplomacy. 1t is worthy of the Anglo
Sa3oa race, and of the era.
