bent thlther and found a 'statoo of
JEDI. Davis. This was grotesque fig,
ure, dressed In bonnet, shawl and striped
petticoat, short enough for view of a
pair of mems unmentionables, and feet
encased in pair of 22s boots. On his
arm water pail, on his meek the newt
able waterfall, and to crown all clay
pipe completed the tout ensemble. The
whole was surmounted by circular
fence of rope, which served to keep the
crowd from too near an approach. The
proprietor, one-armed soldier, held in
his arm a bundle of young shillelahs,
and was very pressing in his invitation
to take throw at JEFF. Davis, three
sticks for five cents, and five cents for
every time you knock the pipe out.
Many tried it and many times the pipe
was smashed to flinders"

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-Everything
connected with the Great Eastern and
the laying of the Atlantic telegraph
cable, was PERFECTLY successful until the
10Th ult,, when, after 700 miles of the
cable had been paid out, $50 miles of it
that day insulation was lost. Reports
had been received at Valentia daily
from the Great Eostern up to that time.
As the Great Eastern reduced her weight
by the consumption of coal and the pay
ing out of the cable, she was able to use
her paddles with more effect for the
screw is useless, owing to the fact that
the cable was to be paid out over the
stern. The calmness of the sea on the
10Th was disturbed by several squalls,
which made a nasty, tumbling sea,
causing some slight. dimunition in the
speed at which the cable was paid out.
But as the Great Eastern became lighter
she was more easily steered and was
much more manageable than when she
left the More.

A YANKEE VIEW OF observation-disclosures
people cannot bear luxuries. A letter
from California says;
Vegetables are here raised fresh for
the table every week in the year, but
they either lack the sparkling flavor Of
the kind in the East, or we have become
tired of them. We were to-day much
amused by Rhode Island Yankees
criticism on this fact. Being asked at
the dinner table if he would have some
green peas, he replied, Wa-all, I guess
not I've eat green peas so long that
they hain't no more taste to 'em than a
tow string Swamp rot such country
as this, where man has to eat luxuries
the whole year round The fact is, I'm
tired on EN- I'd just give my old boots
for one good dinner of plain winter fix
ms without any luxuries ? Laughing,
but heartily sympathizing with the hon
est Yankee, we called for dish Of fried
apples and pork"

ROMANTIc.-An English journal re-

Trade. This letter is written from q

dated 4 Pluviose, An. XII. lin the days of

Il send you herewith enclosed the
drawings of a machine which am hav-

ready will have the pleasure of inviting
you to see them, and if they succeed I
reserve to myself the privilege Of either
making a present of my works to the
Republic or of obtaining from them such
advantages as the law may authorize
me. Actually, | place these notes in
your hands that, if a similar project
should reach you before my experiments
are terminated, it may not have the pre-
ference over mine.
Respectful salutations,
ROBERT FULTON.
