Mr.. Fields Confidence in the Cable.

Mr. Cyrus w. Field states that there IL not
the slightest doubt that the cable is an entire
success, as great, or greater than its most san
friends anticipated. BY the Persia TODAY he
wrote to the directors to prepare another cable
at once, as it is evident that the present one will
In short time transmit messages as rapidly as
an air line, but will not be sufficient for the bus
mess. Until the first of September the line will
be closed to all messages excepting those from
the governments of Great Britain and the Uni
ted States. During that time Mr.. Field will
keep the public advised of all matters affecting
the success of the cable.
Mr.. Fields official report to the directors of
the company is published. He says messages
passed both ways through the cable with entire
success before he left Newfoundland. otherwise
he would have remained longer.
The reason why signals and not words were
sent through the cable as it was being laid, is
that on the previous attempt the clerks INDUCED
In irrelevant conversation, which distracted their
attention from duty at time when the faintest
obstruction might be fatal to the work. The
directors therefore ordered that signals only
should be sent through the cable from shin 10
ship. Both vessels had Greenwich time. and
the electric current played to and fro between
them for ten minutes each way. The signals
showed that on the first day the speed of the
Agamemnon slightly exceeded that of the Nj
agara, but ON the succeeding days they went at
the same pace, there never being more than
twenty miles difference between them. When
the cable was landed at both ends Mr.. Field ap-
piled his tongue to the end and received the
cheering information that the insulation was
perfect, in shock that nearly threw him over.
The reason why messages were not transmitted
earlier was from the fact that all the apparatus
at both ends was new and untried mud r,,.o,;rod

IHEJUnGE AND THE WITNESS Good In.
Our Brown brings us a story from one of the
southern cities of the Empire State, which he
says is as true as any fact in ''York State
Judge q. is well known to the bar of the south
ern counties as decided character" and more
good stories are told about him than any man
on the bench in that region. The judges man
ner IN courts is dogmatic, pragmatic, and arro-
CANT and nothing pleases the bar SO well as to
see him heartily laughed at. They had fine
chance one day when an Irish witmss was on
the stand, who, being rather unmanagable. was
taken in hand by the judge with manner which
said very plainly You shallsee, gentlemen, how
will handle him. "Well Dennis" said the
Judge, blandy tell me the contents of that
chest YES, yer worship" said the witness,
eagerly. First, there was picture of Dan
OConnell-the great Irish pathriot-may be yer
honors heard of him?" "Certanly," said the
Judge, Ego on with the inventory" "Then there
was picture of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ-n'0y boyer honor's heart Of him p? The
unaffected look of inquiry and doubt that ac-
eompanied the witnesses words, set the audience
IN roar of aughter-and the judge will never
hear the last of it.--Boston Post
