OCEAN TELEGRAPH CABLEs.-Mr Ramett who
has received the concession from the French Gov
ernment to establish an electric telegraph from
france to America, writes to the London Times:
MY cable is so made that no sort of corruption or
corrodng influence will damage it, either before or
after 1t Is submerged. When a cable of any kind
Is once laid in deep water it is Theoretically sealed
ana tne chemical action of the sea-water then
takes but slow effect even upon iron. But vegeta-
Bile material-say, for example, wood or hemp
seems rather to be improved in quality than de-
terlorated by time, which is proved by many in
stances will only mention one that of the lineof-
pattie snip Royal George, which lay sunk at Spit
head for 90 years, when the hemp cordage as we'll
as the WOOD were found perfect; or it may be said
| even tougher than when they were new, as much
OF the wood now in thousand shapes testifies
The iron, however, had yielded to the chemical ac
non OF the water and was literally destroyed. The
Importance therefore, of my cable being so pre-
served Is not that it may be safe when submerged,
put that 1T may bear any kind of exposure to damp
dirt, wet, or dry wherever it may e before it is
submerged, and during transit also through any
climate to any part of the world; and that it NAV
also be tested electrically under water for any
length of time before it is finally submerged with.

MILITARY EMULATloN.-The recent visit of the
Chlcago Iouaves to this city, Albany, Boston and
fhadelphia, has put all our military amateurs on
thelr mettle and many of our volunteer companies
are about to introduce the style of drill the gym
nastc exercises, and even the rules as regards
temperance, the effect of which has been so bril-
hanty exemplifed in the Zouaves But STILL this
company, with its universally acknowledged supe-
rlorlty In drill and discipline, is not to be allowed
| to carry off the palm without contest The chal
| lenge which they gave to all the volunteer compa
mes OF the United States has teen accepted by the
columbus Guard, of Georgia, who offer to compete
win them at Memphis, Tennessee, in Nav next
| Should the terms of the Columbus Guard prove
satisfactory to the Z0uavas, the scene of this mod
erh tournament Will attract an immense concourse
| OF people from all parts of the country and will
rival In celebrity the famous Field of the Cloth of
1old: We know of no why Colonel Ellis
worth should reject the terms, except on the ground
| OF the remoteness of the period xed because the
ten intervening months would suffice to enable his
competitors to attain the highest point of proficen-
| cy; and his challenge was to companies now
| trained, not to those that might hereafter ba
trained. Still, he will hardly stand upon that for
mallty, and will probably accede to the PROPOSE
tion.-N. Y. Herald.
The EFFECT OF THE Use MACHINERY IN THE
SHOE TRADE.-A Haverhill (Massachusetts) cor
| respondent, in speaking of the shoe business of
that town, audes to the important results likely to
| arise from the introduction of machinery in the
| manufacture:
The shoe sale is progressing quietly, with re-
ailZatlon of fair prices, and the prospect of de-
mand for all desirable styles that have been manu-
Iactured Tor the present sale, though it would even
now be an easy matter to glut the market with GER
tain styles, the facilities for producing them being
| so much superior to what have hitherto existed.
The application of machinery to the manufacture
| OF shoes has made so vast difference in the ease
ana rapldity OF their production that those engaged
IN the business can scarcely realize the advantage
they possess, and before they are aware of it. thev
are IN the way OF creating surplus. The effect of
this change in their production will be to lessen
the number OF manufacturers and operatives and
until they realize fully this fact, and walk directly
out otthe business into other branches less crowded
the business will be hard, and will fail of being re-
