any circumstance to concede the beast to
be, even the breadth Of q Hair lower than
the altitude indicated. Tho prevailing
ethics Of the times fully sanctions this. Mayor
Stith we are inclined to think would hardly
stand up to this rule in all cases.-He pledged
lis word of honor before the late election
that if Mr.. Harrison would withdraw IS an

be elected he would appoint Lucien Adams
Chief Of Police. Well, Mr.. Harrison with

tho time came for Mr.. Stith TO redeem his

The Ocean telegraph.

The second effort to lay a telegraphic wire
across the Atlantic will we presume be made
shortly. A company Of wealthy and enter
prising individuals has been organized for
the purpose Of carrying a submarine cable
across the Atlantic Ocean, and they have
made a contract with a party in England 20
furnish them during this month June 1859
with a Geographic cable Of the required
length. The points to be connected we learn
are Cape Clear in Ireland and Cape Race in
New Foundland. The distance between
these capes is ono thousand six hundred and
forty miles. Tho depth Of the Ocean be-
tween these places has been asccr'ained by
a system Of what is termed deep Sea sound
ings.' Between Cape Clear aud Cape Race;
there is found to be q remarkable steppe or
ridge already known as the Telegraphic
plateau, above which there is not more than
10000 or 10000 feet or two miles OF water.
The bottom Of the ocean is found 10 be com
posed Of very minute shells and sand, forming
q safe and secure basis upon which the cable
is to rest. It is also found that there arc no
currents at and noar the bottom Of the sea
and that tho waters at those depths are per
fectly tranquil.
Two vessels (one English tho othor Ameri-
CAM each having half tho cable, will sail
together 10 the middle Of the ocean. The
cable will then be spliced and the vessels
will start in opposite directions, one for lLo
coast Of Ireland the other foy tho American
coast They will steam ahead with all The
speed possible; and it is stated that provision
has been made 20 guard against ell conceivs-

MORTAR Practice AT West PoIHT.-A
correspondent Of the New York Post, WI
ting from West Point, gives an interesting
description Of the military performances OF
the US. Cadets at that place. We copy
he following paragraph:
Al half-past eight o'clock we wera attract
cd to the grounds again by a delicious air
from TioUa{ore, played By the band-one Of
the finest, by The way in the country. While
all ears and hearts were engrossed withthe
music, tang went a mortar, speeding 4 shell
through the air at the rate of 4 mile a sec
ond, more Or less, and describing a fiery
parabola along tie horison, as it flew, until
it fell upon the works of Fort Clinton, which
was the imaginary citadel OF a band Of Brit
ish Outragers. Five mortars were in battery
manned by cadets, and every few minutes
the utter darkness was penetrated by ~volleys
Of these fiery missiles. Presently 4 fro bali
was discharged SO as to fall a lido short of
the fort, and by its light reveal tile situation
and condition of our enemy ana his works.
These balls, though not larger than a good
sized base ball, burned for twenty minutes OF
more, SO brightly as 10 make all the line Of
attack distinctly visible and illuminate the
whole plain. The discoveries which the light
enabled the besiegers to make, seemed to
awaken them TO new activity. VoIIeys of
gronades were fired TO clear the walls where |
imaginary red coats were trying TO repair
imaginary breaches in their works; the shells,
five at a time, FILLING Ike Satan's devils,
with hideous ruin and combustion" down
among the outragers. Our fight was very
much like the one fought with The same ell
envy in Congress the other day. There was
no shooting back we had it all our own
way, and consequently achieved a complete
and speedy victory. At ten The drums beat
to quarters, and in ten minutes not q Cadet
or 4 soldier was to be seen except the sent;-
ncls at their post, while the roads were grad
ua!Iy cleared Of the retreating visitors.

P~uNcTUATToN PolNTs.-The points now
used in punctuation were introduced into
writing gradually, some time after the iu-
%vention Of printing. Tho Greeks had none,
and there was no space between their words.
The Romans pu. q kind Of division between
thciF words, thus Publips Scipio Africanus.
Up TO theend Of the fifteenth century,
only the period, colon and comma had been
introduced. The latter came INTO use latest,
and was only a perpendicular figure or line
pr0poriionate TO tho size OF the letter. 10
AlJus Manuitus, an eminent printer, in
1900, VIC are indebted for the semi-colon,
and also for the present form of the comma.
He also laid down rules now observed in
regard TO their use. The note of interroga-
ton and exclamation were 10. added till
some years later, and it is not known by
whom.
Inverted commas (") were first used by
Mons. Gl)lemont, q French printer, aud
were intended by him to supersedo the use
Of /tal'c letters: and the French printers how
call them by that name. But they have
lately been used by English printers 10 note
quoted matter. In a book-1he Art Of
English Poetry, printed in 1902, it appears
