The N. o. Delta publishes several touching in
cidents of the Yellow Fever in that city. The one
we print below will, we know, bring tears. to the
ewes of more than one of our readers. The Delta
truly says, what lesson of trust it teaches, and
how this incident shows the effect Of 'never de-
ceiving children with idle tales"
"a touching case was presented yesterday to
the consideration and charity of one OF the Good
Samaritans who now takes care of the sick, re-
lieves the destitute and feeds the starving. boy
was discovered in the morning, lying in the grass
of Claiborne street. evidently bright and intelli-
gent but sick A man who has the feeling of kind
ness strongly developed, went to him, shook him
by the shoulder, and asked him what he was do.
ing there. "Waiting for God to come for me-"
said he. "What do you mean," said the gentle.
men, touched by the pathetic tone of the answer
and the condition of the boy, in whose eye and
flushed face he sow the evidences of the fever
"God sent for mother and father, and little broth
err" said he, "and took them away to his home in
the sky and mother told me when she was sick
that God would take care of me. have no home,
nobody to give me anything, and so came out
here and have been looking so long up in the sky
for God to come and take care of me as mother
said he would. He will come, won't he Moth
er never told me lie." "Yes, my lad,' SAID the
man overcome with emotion, "he has sent me to
take care of you." You should have seen his eyes
fash, and the smile of triumph break over his
face as he said, "Mother never told me a lie, sr,
hut you've been 90 long on the way"

The Atlantic telegraph.

The accounts about the Atlantic Telegraph are
so contradictory, that it is utterly impossible to
form any idea whether the operators will be able
to overcome the difficulties which now stare them
in the face. That the cable has not broken, is well
ascertained. despatch from Mr.. Lundy states
that, up to the time he left Vslentia, (l2th
ultimo, "good and regular currents from New
foundland were received" This is satisfactory as
to the continuity but that there is some nterrup-
tion,is equally certain. Mr. Lundy states that
the testing shows that this is owing to loss Of
insulation about three miles from Yalents. On
the contrary, the London Observer says, of one
thing the electricians are certain, that's, that the
fault does not occur within twenty or thirty miles
of the land. The Obseruer adds:
"Should the defect be found to exist in the deep
parts of the sea- the public must be content to hear
that for the present, the Atlantic Telegraph is
failure. 1t will not be possible to raise the sunk
en- portion of the wire, or repair it, when laid in
great depths. Within o few miles of the shore the
wire may be underrun !; but when it has been sunk
at the depth Of two or three miles below the sur
face, the great length Of cable which would be
suspended, and the resistance which the water
would give to its rising. would produce strain
upon the wire much greater than its strength
would bear" .-
The same paper thus describes the method Of
asccrtaining the locality of break in the electric
continuity:
"some time since, most ingenious piece W
mechanism was made by which the electricity
could be weighed, and fluid being made to act
upon q magnet and this upon the end ofa nicely
poised steelyard, would tell with accuracy the
weight of the current transmitted from the other
end of wire at long distance. Following out
this experiment, we believe first shown by Profess
sor Farrady at the Roysi Institution, other elec-
triciaus have arranged very sensitive piece OF
machinery, by which the amount Of resistance op-
posed to the passage Of the electricity by the con-
Quoting wire may be correctly ascertained."
IfMr. Lundy is correct, then the difficulty will
be remedid as soon as the heavy shore ends are
attached. If the London Observer is correct, then
the whole enterprise may be regarded as failure
caused, no doubt, by carelesseness in effecting
some of the joins. The possibility Of laying CO.
Bile has, however, been demonstrated, and We may
expect next summer, to have another cable sub.
merged, which, with the experience now had, will,
in all human probability be entirely successful.

A SCENE ON THE GAILows.-ws have already

A SCENE ON THE GALLows.-We have already
briefly mentioned that P. 8. -Turley, formerlya
clergyman, was executed on Friday week in Ksn-
awha county, Va, for the murder of his wife. On
the gallows he made speech, attributng the com
mission of the crime to his intemperance. The
Kanawha Star says: ... g.. ..o-.... .-..
After speaking he requested that "Jerusalem,
my happy home" might be sung; he said that
many present. had sung it with him on more hap
py occasions. He started the tune himself While
singing he called his aged father on the platform,
threw himself upon his neck, interrupted his sing
ing only long enough to say 'farewell," and then
continued to take the lead. His mother, with his
little daughter, came forward at his request and
he shook hands with her, and took his little one in
his arms, kissed it, and all without seeming to be
interrupted. So also with a brother They all
left the ground before he fell. He also, while
singing, shook hands with some tEenty others
Among them two Of the brothers of his murdered
wife. He had smile on his face most of the
