SINGULAR AFFAIR.-On Tuesday forenoon,
man, either foolish or insane. passed through
this village in dilapidated chaise, drawn by
an ancient specimen of horse-Aesh sadly de-
icient in flesh. who walked slowly along,
apparently unconscious that the establishment
which he drew after him was such an object
Of attraction. The man was dressed in the
costume of Eye olden tyme," with the ex-
ception of the covering to his head, which
was an article usually found in every we'll
regulated household, and counted under the
head of crockery ware. Inside the chaise was
gun, shovel and pickaxe, and dangling from
the under part of the chaise, between the
wheels, was a cradle of ancient build. The
man sat on box in the chaise, holding the
reins and whip in his hand. TIE lash to
the whip was made of strip of calico.
Whether the man cut this ridiculous figure
on wager, or was crazy and unconscious of
what he was about, we are at loss to con-
lecture. If the former we think the joke was
carried little too far by the addition of the
top piece. The wan was a stranger in these

IHB ATLANTIC CABLB.-One of the first
results of the success of the Atautic cable
Will be to create the demand for another cable
direct from New York to London or Liver
pool. 1t the present cable works satisfacto-
rlly, the delay of messages by the long land
route from New York to Newfoundland, will
be great objection, and the land lines are
constantly exposed to various accidents and
atmospherical disturbances. Besides single
cable will be insufficient for the transatlantic
business. If a cable to Europe will work at
all, there is no doubt that there will be one
laid direct from New York, and that as soon
as the requisite arrangements can be made.
A writer in the Boston AdoeYtiser, who is
characterized as an eminent electrician, in
sists that Cape Cod is the proper western ter
minus Tor the second cable, and makes the
following suggestions in respect TO it,
"Now, how should cable be constructed
to obviate these objections Ito the present ca
ble)? First, reject all external metallic coat
lngs, and make the whole bulk of the cable of
non conducting substances. Induction is thus
reduced to a minimum. The specific gravity
of the cable becomes less, and the rate of its
sinking in water compared with the forward
motion OF the vessel paying it out is dimin-
lshed, so that there is less slack and conse-
quent expenditure of cable. Its strength also
is practically as great compared with the
strain to which it is subjected, and it is at
least, as durable. A wire cord of copper NAV
be simply coated with gutts percha of greater
or less thickness, and possesses at once sufi-
cient tenoeity for the purpose. To increase
the bulk of such cable hemp strands NAV
be wound around it, and then the whole re-
covered with coating of gutta percha 1t is
oeheved that simple gutta percha covered ca
Die OF small size could be made and laid at less
than half the cost of the present cable, and
with the capacity of transmitting signals twice
as fast, that is with only half the retarda-
ton, where they nay prove to be- 1t is not
improbable that single vessel like the Mag
ara, or even the Persia or Vanderbilt, might
carry the whole Of such cable, and Law it
from Cape Cod 10 Lands End"
Among the specimens of newspaper rhe-
torlc for which the cable is responsible, the
following appears in Chicago paper:
"Ihe world is finished, its spinal cord is
laid, and now it begins to hi,k! A living
nerve has been unwound from the Anglo
Saxon heart, and tied in a true love knot be-
tween the Old World and the New. Time
turns lolerer on its westward way, and the
sea, the narrow selvedge of the globe"

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.-At st. James, near
Donaldsonville, S. c., about the 26th ult.,
Constant Metanco, young gentleman widely
known and esteemed, having discovered in
the cabin of one Of his negroes some things
that had been stolen from store determined
to pnnish the slave. He accordingly took
him to the sugar house, to get irons for him,
and arriving there made the negro Ca black
smith, it seems,) forge some manacles for his
legs, and, while STOPPING down to try their
size, he received a blow from the slave which
telled him to the earth. The weapon used
was huge bla2ksmith's hammer Leaving
his master for dead, the negro started off, but
had not gone far, when, CHANGING to look
back, he saw his unfortunate victim assaying
to rise. He Immediately returned and finish.
ed his blood-thiIsty deed after which be cast
the body into pond, mounted his masters s
horse and rode off towards the woods. Dogs
were obtained and the murderer hotly pur-
sued. In his flight he abandoned the horse,
but felt the impossibility of escaping, and ran
to the river and threw himself in. Before
the witnesses of his act came up the murderer
was drowned.

MoRALIzING ON THE TELEGRAPH ACHIEVE.
MENT.-Henry Ward Beecher thus wound
up speech on the ocean telegraph, at Fish
kill Landing on Monday evening:
"You may put cable in every seaport,
you may build your warehouses where they
stand five stories or fifteen, and you may fill
them with the eostliest merchandise, you
may increase your science end skill to any
extent, yet you are not more powerful, for
power is not in the material texture, but pow
er remains in the man, in the individual the
family, the village, the state, the nation
these are the reservoirs of power, and while
we are enlarging the sphere of action let us
see that at home we spread our common
schools, multiply our newspapers, make books
more plenty than the leaves, so that each
man will be an actor, and when all men
over the globe are actors, when, from the ris
ing of the sun to the going down of the
same, there is no barrier to free intercourse of
thought, and there is also one current of
heart, love. virtue, religion, then the earth
will have blossomed and .consummated its
history"

A SADLY ROMANTIC INCIDENT in connee-
ton with the prescribed race, occurred at Chi
cago, few days since. A young man, son
of Prof. Eve, of the medical school at Nash
vile, Tenn, arrived at Chicago, some weeks
ago, with a wife and three children, and
opened an office as physician. Recently
his father arrived in the city, sent for his son,
and brought such motives to bear upon him,
that he induced him to return with him to
Tennessee, forsaking his wife and children,

with her until he had become three times a

might make her his lawful wife, and intro

AcoIDENT-h Catti0n.-An accident occurred,
yesterday morning, with one of the balloons,
(bladders, inflated with carburretted hydrogen,)
of which so many are to be seen in the hands Of
the boys about our streets, which came we'll nigh
being offended with serious consequences. A
little boy, some six or seven years of age, had
been out in the rain and got his balloon saturated
with water, making it so heavy that it did not
float well in the air. To remedy the difficulty,
he carried it to the cooking stove in the kitchen,
and holding it by the cord attached to it, let it
float above the stove to dry. He had held it
there but few moments, when it exploded with
tremendous report, shaking the whole house
and greatly alarming the inmates and neighbors.
The father of the boy, who sat by the stove, read
ing the Spy, prostrated to the floor by the
shock, and nearly stunned. The doors and win
dows of the kitchen were open. or the effects
would probably have been much more severe than
they we're The boy, as soon as he had recovered
from the first effects of the shock, looked up in
perfect amusement, and, examining the piece OF
cord remaining in his fingers, exclaimed, "Fath-
er, where is my balloon"
