An OUTsPoKEN EPTTAPH.-A remarkably
outspoken one, from "A monument in Horsley
down Church. in Cumberland, runsas follows.
Here lies the bodies of Thomas Bond and
Mary his wife. Sue was temperate, chaste,
and charitable; but she was proud peevish,
and passionate. She was an affectionate wife
and tender mother. but her husband and child,
whom she loved, seldom saw h, T countenance
without disgusting frown, while she receiv-
ed visitors whom she despised with an endear-
ing smile. Her behavior was discreet toward
strangers, but imprudent in her family
Abroad her conduct was influenced by good
breeding but ut home by i'll temper"
And so the epitaph runs to considerable
length, acknowledging the good qualities of
the poor woman, bat killing each by setting
against il some peculiarly unamiable trait
| confess that my feeling is quite turned in
her favor by the unmanly assault which her
brother the author of the inscription) has
thus made upon the poor dead woman. If
you cannot honestly say good of n human be-
lag IN the gravestone, then say nothing at all

ss- The Washington correspondent

EsS- The Washington correspondent of the
n. Y. Times says in relation to the two
commissioners who have arrived there from
Utah:
The commissioners do not hesitate to say
that much remains to be done before the
Mormons will be brought to that obedience
which is necessary for the Continuance OF
amcable relations. Accepting this proposition
| am credibly informed that the Government
will so mature its plans to this end that their
purpose must eventually be accomplished, in
the face of the opposition which may be array
ed against it.
The Commissioners also verify the accounts
published of the conduct of the rcdoubtsble
brigham Young toward his deluded followers.
So unjust and tyrannieal has this become tina.
IL is deemed necessary 10 repeat the instrue-
tons therefore, given 10 the officers of the Gov
.rnInent in Utah. to afford them all the protee-
ton ia their power.

To PREVENT FLIEs FROM TEASING HoRsEs.
The Prairie Rdymer gives the following sim
pie recipe for preventing the attacks OF these
pestiferous and dangerous insects:
Take two or three small handfais OF walnut
leaves. upon which pour two or three quarts
Of sofl cold water; let IL infuse one night, and
pour the whole next morning into kettle,
and let Il boil for quarter Of an hour. When
cold IL will he it for use. No more Is requlr-
ed than TO moisten a sponge, aud before the
horse goes out Of The stable, let those parts
which are the most irriiated Dc smsared over
with the liquor, via: betweea and upon The
ears, the neck. haaks, etc Not only the lady
or gentleman who rides Out for pleasure,
will derive a benefit from the leaves thus pre-
pared. lbat the eosehman. che wagoaer, and
all others who use horses during the hot
mouths.

SIZE Va. NoIsE.-Men are good deal like
dogs, only more so. 1t is with the man just
as it is with the cur, the less there is of them
the more noise they make. During the SLEEVE
CANNON movement, the only man who was
determined to overthrow the bloody Saxtons
was gentleman of Cork who measured four
feet two in his boots. The littlest toe-corns
have always made the biggest aches, and will
probably always continue to do so.

BEAUTY.-In his essay ION the sublime and
beautiful" Burke holds that all objects hav-
ing the power of relaxing the nervous sys-
TEN are beautiful. If that be So what an ele-
CANT thing is a shillalah. That handsome
women unnerve a man we may admit; but
that they do it any more effectively than a
bat over the head, you may safely deny, and
continue to do so as you remember the last
wake" you attended. If Burke is right,
then what an object of beauty there must be
in a hangman's rope. Queer stuff, this meta

THE DRUG TRADE IN CALCUTrA.-Physicians
in India raise blisters with red hot iron. aud
dress them with Cayenne pepper. If such

THs TELEGRAPH CABLE-The news, published in
our issue of yesterday, with regard to the disasters
attending the late attempt to lay the cable OF the
ocean telegraph, seems to have revived the doubts
Of many as to the practcabity of the enterprise.
Indeed, without pretending to the accuracy Of the
scientific investigation necessary far thorough I'M
Outstanding of the subject must confess to some
participation in the doubts which have been express
sed on the matter. 1t seems undenable that any in
luence which may operate to produce increasing vi.
bration. must sever cable suspended in water for
thousands of miles. 1t is clearly impossible to sink
the cable altogether. 1t must remain suspended at
depth where the hydrostatic pressure will equaze
the specific gravity of the water with that Of the
wire and caoutchoue. Thus the entire length of the
cable will communicate each vibration between the
different sounangs where it rests on the bottom;
and single vibration may be sufficiently violent to
strain few inches of cable with force equal to the
entire weight of the part through which the vibra-
ton extends; at least equal to the weight OF that
part of the cable included in the of vibration.
II this theory be correct (and it is suggested by an
ADLER mind than own) it is evident that several
miles Of the Atlantic cable may be included in sim
gle curve and it is equally evident that no point of
the cable be made to sustain the weight even of
q single mile.
Only under one superstition, would the cable be
entirely safe, even after it was laid and anchored
firmly at every point where the soundings would
permit Its natural water line of suspension must
be perfectly still, und;sturbed by any movement
which would communicate vibration. We doubt
whether any of our philosophers sufficiently &C.
quainted with the great depths Of the great deep to
demonstrate such an enduring state Of quiescence-
But supposng this to be So it seems most probable
that the extent and variety Of vibration necessarily
incident to paying out thousand miles of cable FROM
the taffra Of ship in motion, WILL in every in.
stance, defeat the laying of the cable.-Richmond
Enquirer.
Mr. Cyrus W. Field, Of New York, who was en-
gagged in laying the cable appeared much depressed
by the disaster He states that
'The squadron had experienced very bad weather
since leaving port, and were Is days reaching their
destination; that they had made two unsuccessful
attempts to lay the Cable. On the 26th, when they
made the second attempt, they succeeded in laying
upwards of 40 miles, and were going along finely,
when the communication suddenly ceased at 1855,
Sunday morning, June 81.
The ships then returned to the starting point (ac-
cording to agreemenD and were waiting for the
Agamemnon and Valorous to return. As soon as
they should do so, a new splice would be made and
another attempt made to lay the cable"

FOR the StanQarQ.
ALAMANcE, July 49, 1885,:
MEssRs. HOLDEN & WILSON: / am authorized to
announce George Patterson, ESQ, as Democratic
candidate for the Senate in this Senatorial district,
composed Of Alamance and Randolph. He will re-
ceive a very large vote in this County, and hope
will make many friends in Randolph, where he is
now canvassing with DR.. Lane. Mr. Worth is
wasting in Alamance without creating exciting
any enthusiasm he will loose ground here on
count of his position free suffrage and think
he will find it an up hill business in asking others
to exercise right and privilege in his favor to
which he himself has been and is still opposed.
We now have full ticket in the Commons.
Mr.. Foust independently is clever young man,
but loses himself in discussing the merits of sever
al abstract questions.
Nothings in Alamance, who claimed to he the
candidate of the various parties, is again in the
field fighting the Democracy, but his battery is
weak and his troops poorly disciplined, evincing
much discomfort with their leader and think be
will require much stronger stimulants than he has
yet administered to keep them from sinking on the
field the first Thursday in August.
B. F. Roney's good appearance gentlemanly de.
meanor, plain but familiar discussions are winning
for him friends every day.
Junus l. Scales, young man of sterling worth,
very able debater is winning aurels for himself by
his able defence of Democratic principles of which
men much farther advanced in life might well be
proud t.it-,sts
think you may set Alamance down with 800
majority for Ellis, Scales and Roney without doubt.
