WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE CABLE 1.-THE cable pivo,

is permitted to leak out little by little Bv steamer from
Europe admitted to knowledge of the existence
of certain retardtions to the transmission of the electric
current and which present difficulties in the way of the
practical working of the cable On this side we have
significant fact in the retirement of CYRUS w Field from
the direction of the company proving that dscord exists
among the players upon this ocean harp It is hint
ed that his resignation is due to foreknowedge of tba
outbreak which is certain to ensue among the electricians
and their partisans The line is still under the superin
tendence of Engineer Bright, whose incompetence do
layed the submerson of the cable twelvemonth and of
Electrician Whtehouse who occupies it exclusively in
the experiments to perfect the working of instruments

Be GENTLEMEN AT HoME.-There are few families.
imagine any where in which love is not abused as
furnishing the license for mpoiteness. husband ia,
her brother will speak harsh words to those he loves
best, and those who love him best simply because the
security of love and family pride keeps him from getting
his head broken. 1t is shame that man will speak
impoltey, at times to his wife or sister than he
would to any other female except low and vicious
1t is thus that the honest affections of mans ma
ture prove to be weaker protection to in the
family circle than the restraints of society," and that
woman usually is indebted for the kndest poteness

Things ought not so to be. The man who, because it
will not be resented nfics his spleen and bad temper
upon those of his hearthstone is small coward and
very mean man. Kind words are circulating mediums
between true gentlemen and ladies at home, and pol
sh exhibited in society atone for the harsh Language
and dsrespectul treatment too often INDUCED in BE-
tween those bound together by Gods ties of blood
and the still more sacred bonds of conjugal love-L
