The Atlantic Telegranh.

This gigantic enterprise fraught with
so much interest TO the scientific and
commercial world, is again in active pro.
gress. The cable, which has been COW
cred during the winter with q protect
ing mixture Of tar, linsced oil and bees
wax, has been coiled upon the ships
Agamcmmnon and Niagara, and the
process of paying out, il no hindrance
has occurred, is now commenced. Seven
hundred miles Of now cable have been
manufactured, besides q further length
Of ninety miles nearly completed. The
Niagara carries 1883 miles permanent
and 22 of experimental cable, the Again.
emnon l477 miles Of permanent, and IL
Of experimental cable; making 3,0o4
miles of cable of both kinds.
The brakes, for retarding the velocity
of the cable, are said to be quite simple
A guiding sheave conducts it from the
hold, carries il upon two sheaves, grovec
in several places, thence under another
groved wheel, and from this over ;
wheel in the stern from which il passes
into the sea.
The brake is so constructed that th,
amount Of pressure upon the coil can b.
indicated, and regulated at will 1t will
be remembered that the loss Of the ca
BILE last year was occasioned by too sc
we're pressure Of the brakes when il
momentum was very great. Englisl
Naval Engineers have been dispatches
from ordinary duty to superintend tn
management Of the requisite machinery
If things work favorably, it is exrect
ed that the enterprise will be success
fully completed during tho presen
month. Starting at the point OF junct
ion, at mid-ocean, the two-ships will
proceed in either direction.
If successful, it will prove the crown
ing event of tho age in practical science
linking more closely in bonds of amt.
and commerce the nations of the old an
new world.-American RuraliSt.

Encourage Each Other.

That was a noble and truly Ameri-
can trait Of character, which was ex-
hibted by the men who were carried
into the ocean, as the last sea swept
over the Central America, and she went
down into the dark unfathomable caves
Of the ocean. AS we rose to the sur
face said several OF the survivors, and
hoatcd about on fragments of the
wreck, we checred each other with
