The Atlantic TELEGRAPH Cable,

The work of taking the Atlantic cable out
of the Agamemnon, as well as the Niagura,
had been completed. The cable is coied in
water-tight apartments so as to admit of it's
being submitted to a variety of tests under
water. During the whole of the winter Mr.,
Whitehouse, the Chief Electrician of the
Company, is to be engaged in experiments
of a most interesting nature upon the cable,
so as to ascertain not only its electric capa-
bilities, but the rate at which each signal can
be transmitted, and the effect which the diff
erent periods of the day, the temperature and
state Of the atmosphere have upon its con-
ductabty. The attempt to lay the cable
next year is to be made at the end Of Juno
or beginning Of July; and it has been deter
mined to resort to the plan originally con
enplated-namely to commence the sub
merging process in the middle of the Allan
tic, the two vessels engaged sailing respective
Iy for the shores Of Newfoundland and Ire
land. Three thousand miles of cable are to
be coiled on the vessels, instead of two thous-
and six hundred, as in the first attempt and
the manufacture of the additional quantity
has been commenced by Mossrs Glass "
Elliot. The construction of the new paying
ing out machines has been intrusted to
Messrs. Easton & Amos.

CRIME IN New YoRK.-A new phase in
crime has been developed in New York. A
young woman, nineteen years of age, named
Catherine Chambers, gave herself into tho
custody of an officer of the fourteenth
precinct, and was taken to the station house.
On her way thther she informed the officer
the she was one of the girls calling themselves
"The Chain Gang She stated that the OBJ
ject of the gang was to throw vitrol on OBJ
noxious persons, occasionlly stab person by
way ofamusement and commit other outrages
She told the officer that a short time since
she killed a child of hers 10y stutling cotton
in its nostrils. "rhe Chain Gang" held
nightly meetings, and were consulted by vari-
Gus persons who desired them to act for
them. She said that she lived in Cow Bay,
Five Points where the gang met. An officer
was despatched to hunt the place, and ascer-
tain if there was any truth in the statement
of the girl. Catherine was locked mp.

Origin of Paper Money,

The Count de Tendilla, while beseiged by
the moors in the fortress of Alhambra, was
destitute of gold and silver wherewith to pay
his soldiers, who began to murmur, as they
had not the means Of purchasing the neces-
saries of life from the people of the town.
In this dilemma (says his historan,) what
does this sagacious commander! He takes
a number of little morsels of paper, on which
he inscribes various sums, large and small,
and signs them with his own hand and name.
These did he give to the soldiery in earnest
Of their pay. How, you will say, are soldiers
to be paid with scraps of paper! Even so,
and well paid too, as will presently make
manifest, tor the good Count issued a proc
lamation, ordering the inhabitants to take
these morsels Of paper for the full amount
thereon inscribed, promising to redeem them
at a future time with gold and silver. Thus
by subtle and most remarkable alchemy, did
this cavalier turn worthless paper into pre-
cious gold and silver, and make his late i'm
poycrsned army bound in money The his
torian adds, the Count de Tendilla redeem
ed his promises like loyal knight; and this
miracle, as it appeared in the eyes Of the
worthy Agapda, is the first instance on rec
ord of paper money, which has since spread
throughout the civilized world. If the banks
were like the royal Knight, Count de Tenlil-
la, there would be some spark of chivalry in
their composition, but they have long since
forgotten the duty of redeeming their prom
ses. Their little morsels ofpaper 60 to pro-
test, and even the judges screen them from
the payment Of their debts. We trust the
time is coming when we shall no longer be
humbugged by these scraps of paper, but
when our currency shall represent real and
not fictitious value.

PHILADELPHIA DIvoRcEs.-The number of
divorces, for ten years past, obtained in the
courts of Philadelphia, is about 1900. Suits
of this nature are increasing in frequency.
The application for divorce from the honda
of matrimony have taken the place of divorce
from bed and board, thing now scarcely
known. For the March term 81 there were
60 cases; for the June term there were Is,
for the September term, &C, and for the De-
cember there were 80 cases, making 229 Ca
scs. OF these, nine in every 10 are brought
by the wives, and not more than half of those
divorced marry again.

MONEY.

Success will gild the btterest pill,
While failure sours honey;
The surest care for every ill
And every grief is Money!
If you should wound ones finer feeling,
BY being rude or rash,
And can't succeed the hurt in healing
by gentle means try Cash.
There's nothing like it; t is as sure as
death or quarter-day;"
A man is never put in duress
When he's prepared to pay.
The bilious man will lose his bile,
The bitter cease to frown;
The inconsolable will smile
At sight of money do,cn
Business goes on by sea and land
Just as you 'foot the bills"
If any job you have on hand
Sticks fast-just "grease the ,oheels."
So, in the sorest pinch in life,
One friend will never fail
Surer than father, brother, wife
That is, "cdsh on the nail"

Its whole length is about four hundred
miles.
The country along its lower section
is hilly, and covered with forests of
white pine, cedar and other evergreen
trees and the soil is generally well
fitted for pasturage, and in many places
for tillage. But along the other and
more mort hern sections, the country is
more ung enial and unproductive, being
cut up by mountains, ravines, torrents,
lakes and marshes, Yet it is well wood,

growing i'll that region - fir, sprnee,

birch and elder. The climate is very
variable, and the transitions are, though
periodically regular, remarkably sud

which lasts from April to June, the
weather and the face of the country
are delightful In June there are al
Iaosr iucessant rains, drifted furiouslv

"The True Issue"
The Washington Union says:

The Washington ORion says:
"The true issue, not only in Illinois, but in
every State in the Union, is The Administration
of Mr. Buchanan, as the representatives, Of the
Democratic party, against all opposition, wheth-
er as open enemies or false friends"
Elsewhere the same paper also remarks:
"a question of incaleulable magnitude, and
especially leiih Southern IaeR, arises as TO the
effect upon the Democratic party Of Lhe OUer-
throtD of Mr. Buchdadn'S Administration. 1t
may be effected in some measure by cutting
down It's friends in the Northern States There
IS not aa Anti LeeOmpiOn Democrat from The
NoTth lrhO lraS in the last Congress thar has any
sympathy ruth the present Administration In
some localities they are openly opposing the
regular nominee OF the Democratic party; IN
others they are insiduously attempting TO stab
the organization by claiming the vesture OF the
peoples candidate; and in others they are try
ing to throw upon them the responsibility of
elecling Black Republicans instead Of those who
claim 10 be Democrats, but who are more than
acceptable to the New York Tribune, ct ID ON
nc genus"
The fact that the Administration men are
boiling the nomination of Col. Manypenny in
the Muskingum District, is shus fully accounted
for OF course anti-Lecompton Democrats,
whether in or out of ''the last Congress-" (the
Uaion refers to the last session of the present
Congress, we presume) are placed on the same
footing as destitute of "any sympathy with the
present Administration" and will be treated
accordingly. We should judge this announce
ment to be sufficiently explicit to satisfy any
wide awake anti-Lecomptonite in Ohio, how he
Is regarded at headquarters, and how his ser
vices will be rewarded, even as a submission
