Was the Atlantic Telegraph FOreShadOWed
BY the =" Book OF ReVeIatiOnSP'

The New York Herald remarks THAT
which we now see realized, the Evangelist
may have seen eighteen hundred years ago
on the island Of Patmos, as in a glass
dimly, and the following prophetic words
may, without much straining, be applied to
the great wonder of the age:
"And 1 saw another mighty angel come
down from Heaven clothed with cloud
and rainbow was upon his head, and bis
face was as it were the sun, and his feet as
pillars of fire:
"And he had in his hand little book
open; and he set his right foot upon the
sea and bis left upon the earth
"And cried with loud voice, as when
lion roareth; and when he had cried,
seven thunders uttered their voices
And when the seven thunders had ut.
tered their voices, was about to write
and heard voice from Heaven saying
unto me: Seal up those things which the
seven thunderS uttered, and write them
not
And the angel which l saw stand upon
the sea and upon the earth lifted up bis
hand to heaven,
" "And sware by Him that liveth forever
and ever, who created Heaven and the
things that therein are, and the earth and
the things that therein are, and the sea and
the things which are therein, that Merc
should be time no longer"
The most happy citation from the Bible
we have seen in reference to the telegraph,
which is soon to girdle the globe, appeared
recently in the National LnteLfgeaoer
"Their line is gone through all the earth,
and their words to the end Of the world

smite the earth with q curse" Tha last

"But we look confidently forward to the
time when the HERALD will contain, besides
its local and city intelligence and adver-
tisements, nothing but mass of faithful
telegraphic reports Of the events in the
whole world Of the previous day, with our
editorial comments thereon. This is the
electric placer Of journalism that we mean
to open. When this is achieved-when
the columns of the HERALD shall bring to
its readers q full and faithful report oi
news from the whole world; when it shall
contain each morning everything worth
knowing, from America, Europe, Asia
and Australia, with our editorial comments
thereoD-we shall look upon it as the tri
umph Of the revolution in journalism which
we began twenty-three years ago, and shall
prepare to sing our aune dimitas domino

shall then believe that we have done our
part, as have those who undertook the

PO1eSSOry Rights Of the Hudson Bay Company

Ia 1852, Sir George Simpson, at that
time Governor of the Hudson Bay Com
pany territory, presented q memorandum
to our Government, containing sketch Of
the possessory rights claimed by it in Ore
gon and Washington, which he proposed
to sell to the United States for one million
of dollars 1t is not known what view the
Cabinet took of the subject, but Congress
never accepted the offer, probably thinking
the sum demanded exceeded the value Of
the Company's interests south Of the 49th
parallel. According to Sir George Simp@
son, the property was worth 81, 800, 900,
but three years later Gov. Stevens, who
had excellent opportunities Of knowing its
value, estimated the whole at $500, 900.
