at Sheerness, on the Thames. Capt. An

can hook up the cable. "This cannot be

ELEPHANTS TUsK Found IN BRATTLE-

found in muck bed about five feet be-

muck. The tusk is forty-fo inches in
length and eighteen inches in circum-

inches at the smallest. 1t is in fair
state of preservation, although some
parts of it crumbled after being exposed
to the air. This tusk belonged to a

ANOTHER CABLE ENTRRPRIsE.-The
failure of the Great Eastern to success
fully accomplish the laying OF the At
lantic telegraph cable, seems in no wise
to have discouraged the Telegraph Con-
struction Companies of Europe as to
future success, and the following from
the Paris Nord, Aug. ODD, proves:
The failure Of the Great Eastern has
not discouraged either the shareholders
Of the Transatlantic Gable Company or
the new French company which has OBJ
tanned permission to lay down a cable
between France and the United States.
But this time the company does not in
tend to submerge a cable tOl any enor-
nous distance, as there will be inter
mediate stations. The following is the
track at present contemplated From
Paris to Lisbon, and .henoO- CO cape st.
Vincent, by lana from this last place to
the Canary Islands along the coast Of
Morocco, from the Canary Islands to
Cape Verde, along the African coast,
with stations at st. Louis, (Senegal) and
at Goree, from Cape Verde to Cape st.
ROaue, on the coast of Brazil, distance
of less than one half of that Of the ca
BILE intended to be laid by the Great
Eastern, from Cape St. Rogue to Cay
enne along the American coast, and
from Cayenne to New Orleans by the
coast, or probably by cables connecting
the principle West India Islands. The
enterprise is more easily practicable
than conceived in England. The only
| difficulty will be to secure the preserva-
| ton of the lime on the African coast,
and that security may be obtained by
| means of guard stations. The company
will have a concession for one hundred
wears. and the French government will
abandon the right of making any Other
during that time. A subventiOn OF foul
millions of francs, payable by install
ments, will be granted when the com
pany shall have obtained the authorize
tions from all the governments ovel
whose territory the electric cable is tx

Mead's Model of the Lincoln Monu-
ment,

The model for monument for Ahra-
ham Lincoln, which has been made in
italy by our distinguished townsman,
Larkin G. Mead, Jr,, has just arrived in
New York, where it will be placed on
exhibition, The Boston Daily Adver-
tiser makes the following highly COM
plimentary notice of 1t;
"Mr. Larkin G. Meade, Jr,, the we'll |
known Vermont sculptor has made the |
design of monument for Abraham
Lincoln, which has been sent from his
studio in Florence, to New York, where
it will be exhibited, We have seen
photograph of this design, which is of
a Cornthian column, supporting n col
lossal figure of Lincoln, and resting on
a pedestal, with broad octagonal base.
The Presidents figure is in simple
modern costume; he stands, with a
thoughtful, downward look, lightly
holding a pen in one hand, while the
other is laid upon the national shield at
his side. Four groups, representing the
different branches of the military ser
vice, occupy as many corners of the re-
cedng and projecting sides OF the octa-
gOn and around the base passes a stair
wav of seven steps, with the figures of
four boys upon pedestals, looking west
ward from the column. OF course, the
groupes on the base are the most strih-
ing features of the monument, and they
give, in vivid action, the spirit of the
war with which Lineoln's name will al
ways be associated. One group is OF
artillery, another of sailors manning a
gun; third is of infantry in battle ;
the fourth is a superb and powerful eX-
preston in sculpture of the furious on
set of cavalry. Mr.. Mead had happily
the experience, in camp and under fire
during some months service in the en-
gineer corps of the Army of the Poto
mac, which could best qualify an artis'
for the faithful execution of thes'
groups. The graceful figures of the
youth below represent sailor boy
drummer boy, bugle boy, and flag boy
the bias, reliefs in the base are depart
ure of volunteers, the sanitary hospita
and women nursing the wounded an(
sick. a man-of- war in action and vet
r eran returning home. On the pedesta
of the column is tablet for an inscrip
2 ton.
! The excellence Of this design will com
: mend itself. No one can look at it with
e out feeling the force and originality c
| the genius which has been tempered, nc
. tanned, by study of the best art in tn
Old World, and which has already give
the young Vermont sculptor an enviabl
name.

Somewhere in Connecticut there is fam.
iIv bv the name of Barstow, who were never
noted for cleanliness. On the contrary, the
name was proverbial for flthiness. They
we're farmers and Mrs. BaIstow was eugag-
ed in the dairy business. Each week she
nosted her way to village near by and dis.
posed of her butter to Squire Walker, who
dealt in country produce and groceries. Ere
long she learned that she did not get but half
as much for her butter as her neighbors were
receiving. and this aroused her unusual quiet
temper. and she determined to demand an
explanation of Squire Walker the next
time she went to market. So the following
week. with her regular amount of butter, she
presented herself at the grocer's counter and
said :" Squire Walker, what are you paying
for butter to. day 2" He opened her boxes,
and after careful survey of the contents, re-
piled: Twelve and a half cents"
Twelve and half cents twelve and half
cents I" she repeated ''How is it that you
pay Mrs. Perkins twenty cents pound,
and only allow me ninepence-and this
you have done all along?" "Well," said
the Squire, coloring and hesitating on each
word, .'The fact is, Mrs. Barton. your but
ter is not so clean as hers. and find it hard
work to get rid of it at that price. even, when
people knew who made it." 40, if that is

heat of the afternoon, and seizng the milk
strainer and wiping the perspiration from her
face, exclaimed to her daughter: Betsy
Ann, Squire Walker had the impudence to
tell me my butter was not so clean as
Nancy Perkins, and now l mean to show
him that l can make as clean butter rs She"
"Du tell ! l think should try, mother" re-
piled Betsy Ann. sympathetically. Mrs.
Barstow commenced skimming her milk, and
pouring the cream into her tall, old-fashion-
churn 1t was all in but the last pan, when
mounted upon stool, she was reaching after
that; but unfortunately she slipped, and one
of her dirty feet slipped into the churn until
it brought up on the bottom, scattering the
the contents in every direction. Extricating
herself as soon as she could. she commenced
scraping the cream from her limb and throw
ing it back into the churn, remarking in
slow, celebrating tone to her daughtet. who
was laughing in very unbecoming manner
at her parents mishap: "Well, Betsy Ann.
