Of the New York Journal of Commerce,
writes that there is reason to believe that
arrangements will soon be made at St
Petersburgh, through private companies.
and government subsidies, for completing the
line Of telegraph from Novgorod to the
mouth of the Amor river, and thence
taking it across Bhering's Straits to Rus-
sian America. In the meantime, a company
has already been formed in CaHada, under
the name of "Trans- Mundane Ttlegraphc
Company" which will afford important aid
in establishing the proposed line through
British America. The plan is to construct
the telegraph from the mouth of the Amoor
across Bherngs Straits to and through
Russian and British America. From Vic
toria branch will be carried to San Fran
cisco, and another to Canada. The
line from San Francisco to Missouri is
commenced, and Mr.. Collins, who is en-

he will extend the line to San Francisco

WOman's LOve-A Beautiful Incident,

Six years ago, young man just enter
ing on life, under the influence of rum, COM
mitted crime against society, was tried in
this city, convicted, and sent to Waupun,
where be served out his term behind the
prison bars. Before his trial fair girl had
promised to link fortunes with him and
cruel was the blow to her. But she loved
him. ALI through his six years did she
wait Tor his release. With true woman's
heart she believed him innocent-innocent
at least before God, and like the magnet,
she held on her steady way, her heart ever
pointing to the future. Long were the years
10 him. Slow passed the hours. Seconds
were minutes minutes were hours-hours
days, days weeks-weeks months-months
years, and years were like ages. Every toll.
ing of the prison bell struck deep upon his
heart, and every sunset took another thread
from the long skein. Nor were the hours
less weary to her. Hope, that blessed angel,
sat by her day by day and reposed on her
pillow by night. Some there were who
laughed at her holy love-who sneered so
mcanly at her lover, prisoner miles away.
But little it mattered to her. Others might
laugh-she wept. Others might point to a
man in prison garb, tOiling away from
morn till night, with but one star to guide
him On. She saw but the honest soul that
might be saved-or ost-and woman that
she was, nerved herself to hear their jbes and
Jeers. Blessed words came to him in his
lonely cell, words of love of kindness, and
stronger grew the heart Of him who had
truly bis better angel to watch over his un
broken future. Each word from her lightened
the hours as they slowly went by, and larger
grew the day on which liberty was to come.
Men visited him and with careless word or
speaking eye, threw into his cell madden
ing thought on which his soul must feed and
tremblingly shrink to the darkest corner of
his living temple. Then letter from her
would dash aside the dark curtains and beck
on him on to spot of sunshine outside, and
beyond his present reach. So passed the
years. Friends died and he wept over them.
The sin was long since atoned for, and at
last the little spot of sunshine crept into his
cell, and entering by the key hole of his
door, led him forth into the bright rays of
liberty. He was conducted to the Office of
the prison, by McGraw, and citizens dress
in place ola prison suit given him and led
into an inner room where stood she, who
years before, had promised before God to be
his. What meeting.
On the evening train the two arrived in
this city, and were by one of our divines
Joined in marriage. We were witness to the
ceremony and never shall forget it. Never
forget the eye moistened with happiness, nor
the throbbing of the heart that had so long
waited and trusted. Saved Saved May
the future be all the brighter for the dark
cloud that has so long hung over 1t, and true
friends be ever ready to lend a helping hand.
We believe in woman's love-in woman's
devotion the more after knowing the facts
above stated. God bless the true heart

SEDUcr1oN-A Fathers REVENGE
Buena Vista, Tenn, was the scene of a
tragedy few days since. Some weeks ago
John F. Jackson, an opulent gentleman Of
that village, was informed that his daughter,
a lovely girl of eighteen years, had been
seduced by DR.. Bunch. He forthwith
sought the man who had brought disgrace
upon his name, and demanded that he should
repair the wrong by marrying his victim.
The Doctor declined at the time, and Jack
son gave him three weeks to reconsider or
leave the country. At the expiration of
that time, Bunch still declining to heal the
wounds he had inflicted, the determined
parent, FESTIVE with the sense Of wounded
honor and desperation, shot Bunch down in
his Office. He died instantly. jackson de-
livered himself into custody, and when our
informant left, was in the Paris, Tenn. Jail.

A CURIOUS letter from a convict in the
Wisconsin State Prison, appears in the
Banner of Light, the Boston organ OF the
Spiritualists. The letter opens:
I was sentenced by The United States Court
at Milwaukee, where my family still reside, on
the 18th day of April of the present year. for
a bounty land warrant fraud upon the Govern
ment for term of ten years. Thus am l a VIC
tim to this nhuman, unjust and vindictive pol
icy toward the poor, suffering, perverted and
mlsdirected criminal; punishment for crime.
My object is, that while here suffering the pen.
atty the law has inflicted upon me for its viola
ton, to publish a series of articles upon the
subject referred to, hoping that they may do
some good in agitating the public mind upon
this important but neglected theme. Thus,
desire, while in prison, myself, to do all the
good l can do to this class of erring suffering
humanity.
The fellow evidently thinks it is decidedly
wrong to imprison rogues, and the probable
ity is that majority of his fellow Spiritu-
alitss will agree with him.

AMERICAN HORSES in ENGLAND--Wilke's
Spirit of the Times in an article reviewing
the achievements of the season Of American
horses in England says " The great fact
of the campaign, however-the fact which
is deepest, broadest, most comprehensive
and conclusive on the point we set out two
years ago to make-is, that the Umpire,
the American colt, by an essentially Amer
lean sire and dam, stand, pre- eminent above
two hundred and twenty-five of the flower
and pick of the thorough breds of all the
British Isles, and, rates as low as eight to
one, in opposition to that brilliant field, for
a race at English distance, at equal weights

14th street, the jam about the residence was
as crushing as it was about the church. Op-
posite stoops were crowded, and windows
were filled. Five Points and Bowery
blocked up the street, and many of this class
fairly imagined that the rich Cuban was to
shovel gold out into the street as soon as he
arrived at the house of the bride. At the
reception, visitors greeted the bride and
groom, passed around and looked at the
presents which were guarded by wondering
policemen, and then they passed out throug b
another room, stopping to take a look at
and possibly bite of the collation.. The
crushing of crinoline was frightful. The
bride, however, received the guests with
delightful composure and affability, having
a smile and word for all. The groom was
also in ecstacies. The bride and groom
left Friday afternoon for Boston. After a
tour of the United States, they will locate
on Oviedo's estates in Cuba.

friend now in Europe, that Mr. Henry Tur-

finished picture, at Dusseldorf, on which he
has been engaged for year past, which bids
fair to generate a sensation in the American
world of art on it's arrival in thi. country. not
long hence. 1t represents a passage in the life
of Chevalier Bayard. when, being disabled by
wounds, he was cOmfOrted and nurSed by two
fair msidens. The work is said to be one of so
great merit as to bid fair to make a high pro-
fessional rank for its author who left his home
lin RappahannOek county, Virginia. four years
ago. to study. He spent two years in Philadel-
phia, under Rothermels instructions, and two
years since he went to Dusseldorf where he
diligently prosecuted his studies. principally
under the immediate instruction Of Leutze.

The WATER BILL PASSED yesterday after
noon by u vote IF fifteen yeas to four nays The
lower board of the Washington Councils passed
the new water bill just as it was sent down to
them by the Board of Aldermen As while it
duly guards the integrity of the awards of the
contracts to be made under it, it at the same
time avoids any possible conflict with the
Mayors views of the prerogative of his Office,
we take it for granted that it will not be vetoed.
But even if vetoed, it is now very certain that
| 1t will be summarily passed over any such ac-
ton on the part of the Mayor. So. it is a fixed
fact that the work of supplying all portions of
Washington city with the alueduct water will
be as promptly as vigorously prosecuted and,
As consequence, that the large number IF de-
serving iaboring men among US who are out of
work owing to the necessarily contracted opera
tions at this time on the Government works in
the District, will speedily find employment
which will be as satisfactory to themselves as
really profitable to those who must foot the
bill-the property holders of the Federal Me-
| trOpolis.
