A BRUTAL MURDER.-It seems that
the murdered wife Of Arnold near Jessa-
mine KY, had left him for his cruel treat.
ment, and instituted suit for divorce
and alimony against him. He watched
her one day as she went with another la.
dy to pick strawberries. and followed her,
demanding that the suit should be with:
drawn. He then threatened to kill her,
and drew a revolver, when the other wo-
man fed. Horror stricken, she promised
to live with him again. He replied by
telling her that she was lying. and imme.
diately fred at her. the ball grazing he,
temple. She sprang to him and begged
for mercy. He refused. She then ap.
pealed 10 him for time 10 pray, and was
allowed to pray for her husband, her
children and herself. Arnold then grasp
ed her with one arm, iuexorable to all
her applications for mercy, fred st her
three times, each ball taking effect il her
head. The woman who fec told the
story. and Arnold was pursued and srres.
ted at his mothers house, in the act ol
writing his will.

The Atlnntic Telegraph.

II seems that the labors Of those en-
gagged in the second attempt to lay the
cable of the Atlantic Telegraph are not
likely to be crowned with that success,
which was anticipated. A letter from an
officer on board the Niagara, one Of tie
vessels eagaged in the enterprise, speaks
ofthe chances Of success as follows:
You will see. il you get an accurate
report of the experimental trip, that a
more favorable opportunity could not oc-
cur for practice and experiment in laying
the cable. The weather was calm and
the sea smooth. There was no swell
the ship was perfectly still, yet must
confess il was not so successful trial as
I had hoped and expected. Disguise the
fact as we may. there were mishaps, mis-
judgements and mlscaculations. The
cable--ported a. every trial aohether new or
condemned cable. On the voyage Of
course, the dangers to be apprehended
are still greater-since the two ships have
the same duty to perform, and failure
on either will be fatal to the other.
A letter from another officer presents
the matter in the following discouraging
language:
"To the credit Of the Niagar must
mention that when the cable was running
out at equal rates from both ships, the
break in every instance occurred from
the Agamemon. 1t seems to me that
ship does not give the matter the requi-
site care and attention. besides she la
bors greatly. I predict a future on her
part, though am very sorry to think SO,
for have taken deep interest in this
enterprise and have something at stake in
its success. But after carefully watching
and weighing every thing. / have reluc-
family come to the conclusion that third
trial yiN have to be made, before the cable
can be laid.
Zone thing is certain--that if the ca
bic is checked while it is running out rap
idly, the job is over. for it will not bear
the strain. Ihave heard some Of the En-.
gineers and some of the Electricians er-
press the opinion that it piA prous fail
uye."

EEA correspondent ofthe New York
Herald. who pretends to "know some
horse" says that the following is all that
comprises Mr.. Rarey's secret Of horse
tanning: "Having battered your colt and
caressed him, iasten his near fore foot
with strong strap round the pastern ra-
dius or fore arm; make him hop round on
three legs until tired. When he is tired,
put a strap with moose round the of
pastern make him hop; then pull the
strap that is round the off pastern and he
will come on his knees. When on his knees
keep the strap tight, t,and he cannot get his
foot slack to get up. Bear against the
horses shoulder with yours. steadily, when
he viii lie down in few minutes. When
he is down stroke him the way the hair
lies; take of the strap as soon as he is
down. You can now do anything with
him you wish, or beat drum on him, DC.
without alarming him. 0psrs.e on your

DIR. ROBACK's GREETING TO THE
UNIVERSAL WORLD.
Hail glorious day, beneath whose azure sky,
giant nation from the womb Of Time
First sprung 10 life, and Liberty on high,
To an admiring world by right divine
Claimed the new born us hers, while tyranny
Covered be cath the suns res spendeMt rays,
Which blazed propitious OIL a land So free
AS men and angels mingled hymns Of praise.
All hail, Columbia; DER the rolling wave
Thy stars and stripes in many fearful fight
Have foated proudly while thy sons so brave,
With dauntless hea,ts and stern, resistless
might,
Nobly have battled for thy rights and fame,
Winning from despots Of the olden world
Fear and respect: long ma, thy name
Beam with bright hope, thy flag be aye un
furled.
But not in sanguinary wars red path, %
No, ratherin the cause OF peace und Joy;
Not groans of anguish, but the merry laugh
Should welcome to our land the blue-eyed
boy,
The God Of Love, and Cornucopia's horn
Be emptied on thy hills and wales SO free,
Thus may thy children greet the natal morn,
Uffair Columbia and ii Liberty.
Ruddy- checked health, with blessed, joyous
train
OF happy fancies, still shall bless the land;
From kopack's Swedish herbs flies direful
pain;
Dyspepsia's bafied, and the trembling hand
OF the poor nervous wretch no longer shakes
From his famed Scandinavia, remedies
Fever and avue quail, while health awakes,
And dire disease, with all its horrors, tics.
Corrupted blood, pure as the limpid str am.
Soon meath their magic influence courses free;
The dull Dyspeptic's eye with healthful CLEAN

Neuralgia, too, in all its bor,id curse,
Is cured as certain MS that day succeeds
To darksome nj sht: and thus as surely flies
All long complaints before his remedy.
Yet one more agent in the glorious strife
Of battling Death, is called up ut his will;
Another new aud joyous lease Of life
Is brought by his Blood Purifier and Pill
To all who have acquired the horrld taint,
Acute orchrouic, as it chance 10 be,
OF diseased liver. Quickly the comp aint
Shall fly, and leave that organ whole and

The health inspiring virtues which possess
