BEAUTT.-We are indebted to our indefatigable
fellow-citizen, Joe ShiIlington, for a copy Of
50 The Arts of Beauty: or, Secrets of a Lady
Toilet, with Hints TO Gentlemen on the Arts of
Fascinating" b. Madame Lola Montez, Coun-
tess OF Landsfeld. New York Dick and Fitz-
gerald, publishers, Is Ann street A very read
able little volume indeed, even though entirely
out Of our line of reading and thinking, i'm
mersed as the conductor of a daily newspaper
necessarily Is in the whirlpool OF business cares
and momentary associations. Lola writes az
philosophically as she makes love systemati-
cally III history does not belle her, her system
isalways to be on with the new love before being
OF with the old. Whether at a petite German
Court, In the wids of California or the paIlor n,
New York boarding house, she pursues that
system, according to the newspaper accounts Of
the sSedpddsS Of the times, with relish, show
Ing that the arts OF beauty or the results those
arts aim to attain have been the study of her life
Despite the subject the book full of good sense
as well as agreeable shrewdness, and will be read
not only with interest by Lola's sex, but much
TO the advantage of many of them or course il
contains nothing offensive either to good taste or
female propriey.

The LAST Word from the Atlantic Gable.

AT last we have something onfcial and intelli-
gible in regard to the condition of the Atlantic
Cable. Mr. Marley 'the Electrician of the Electric
and International Telegraph Company, $50 he
Is styled by the Company-has made a report on
the state OF the cable as observed by him on the
9TH, Ith, sth, 9Th and 10th of September and the
result, We regret TO say, is by no means encourao
ing He hnds "a fault Of q eat magnitude at
distance Of between 2i5 and 800 statute miles from
Valentsa," and possibly in water of I'm, am t,,h
oms in depth. He finds the cable unbroken nm,
thinks the power used will shortly eat AWAY the
exposed copper wire in the faulty place nv eIec.
trolytc deco opposition. He Is satisfied also tba,
there Is another "fault'' more distant than this
tne approximate locality of which he could moi
estimate without communication with New
foundland. From authentic data shown him .,
'aientia, he is also Of opinion that there ,y,s

10 iOoO or 200 miles of cable, situated AT a dis

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CRYSTAL
PALACE.
Uosa 0vap Hillinm nAllopa

A little before five O'Clock Tuesday evening, II
was discovered that the north nave Of the Crystal
Palace was on fire. and Immediately a sheet of
flame burst from the stairway leading to the
gallery. The door opening on Forty Second
street was broken open, when flames again rushed
ont, mounting quickly to the dome, and i'm Eve
minutes the entire north side Of the building was
In flames. There were between two and three
thousand persons in the building at the time Of
the fire.
The scene inside the building was one beyond
description. Everywhere terror reigned, and
confusion on all sides was paramount. Every
body was running to and fro shrieking aloud for
mothers, sisters, and acquaintance, who had be-
come lost In the crowd. Many, in the endeavor
to get out, were crushed to the earth What with
the cries OF the women and children, the despair
OF the exhibitors who were losing their little all
by the destructive element, the rushing Of the
many friends of the Institute who were endeavor-
Ing TO save model, picture, or some thing Of
value to the world, as well as TO their friends
the horror OF the scene was terrific. The noble
building in half hour after the first alarm was
a mass of ruins.
the dome fell with frightful crash, burying
everything In the centre of the Palace. The
flames shot up in massive sheets as il touched the
ground. presenting magnificent spectacle.
When the fire burst out of the dome the IA
was flying from the central staff which crowned
the dome The haiiiards were burned in an in

there is an Insurance of 800 900 in several CITY
insurance companies. The value OF goods on ex.
hibtion is estimated at $500 CO. about $50 600 Of
which is insured.
One of the heaviest losses was sustained by
Messrs. r.. e. Hall, Lucien Aver and M Page,

Besides the works Of art sent for temporary ex =
hlbltlon, there was quantity of statuary, which

Spirit OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The UHton discusses the Mexican question,

saying: ....
From present indications II would seem quite
probable that at no distant day the people OF
Mexico will have so far removed all traces OF
government as TO leave their country open TO the
immigration Of all nations. Such contingency
will undoubtedly give the United states, as the
chief American nation, the right to Intervene and
direct the rule which shall subsequently, bind
that people. Whether this state OF affairs Ii near
at hand or not, others can judge as well as our
selves Ii il impossible, however, to conceal the
fact that our people already begin to feel that an
unusual responsibility rests upon them with
reference to the affairs of that people. Our rela-
lions with the Pacific and the rapid increase Of
population over the entire northern line Of Mex
leo, are quite sufficient to excite public interest
and discussion upon the subject, and to elicit
what may be termed a very general expression of
our people that at an early day we shall be called
upon either to absorb the entire country or give
IL up to political schemers from without -
