How the Cable Was Lost.

The account given by writer on
the Great Eastern, OF the manner in
which the Atlantic Cable was lost
overheard whilst being hauled in by
the "picliing up apparatus" for the
purpose of repairing u defect, is as
follows:
Let the reader turn his face towards
u window, imagining that he is stand
inc on the bows of the Great East
crn, and then, OF course, on his right
will be the starboard, and on ms ieit
the port side Of the ship. When the
cable was hauled around on the left
hand side, and passed over the four
wheels, it was carried over drum,
which we must suppose to DO behind
the spectators, and coiled up rs fast
as it was delivered from the picking
up apparatus; but when the enignes
failed to work this apparatus, Of
course the cable remained motion
less, and as the ship WIS driitcd by
the wind from right to lett, and slight
ly forward, at last the cable came
close up to the bow and under the
forel'oot of the ship. There are at
the bows Of the Great Eastern two
large hawscr holes, the iron rims of
which project for more than a
foot beyond the line of the stem
Against one of them the cable caught
Oh the left hand side, while the ship
kept moving TO tho loft and th""
charcd and strained the cable greatly
agoinst the bow The Great Eastern
could not go astcrn lest the cable
should be snapped, and without mo.
ton some way there is no pewer OF
steerage. At this critical moment,
too, the wind shifted so as to- render
it more difficult to keep the head Of
the ship to the cable, which then
chafed so much that damage in two
places was done TO IT., A shackic
chain and wire rope belonging to one
of the cable buoys were passed over
the cable and secured in right below
the hawser holes These were haul
ed so as to bring the cable to the
rinht hand side Of the boat, the ship
still drifting TO the left 1t was nee
cssary to do this instead of veering
away. as we were near the end oIthe
cut of the cable in the boat. There
is II large iron wheel with a deep
groove in the circumference, tech
nically called "V' wheel, from the
groove, by the side OF which is a
"Remitar," or smaller wheel, on the
same "axis," The cable and the
wire rope together were coming in
over the bows and the grove in tn
larger wheel, the cable wound upon a
drum behind by the machinery, which
was once mole in motion, and the
wire rope being taken in around the
capstan, by bars, but the rope and
cable were not coming up in right
line, but were being hauled in with
great strain on them, at an angle from
the right hand side, so that they did
not work directly in the "V' in the
wheel. Still the strain was shown on

How Animal, CooioG

Every observing farmer knows
that men aud horses are the oniy an
imals that have double means Of re-
frigeration, and all others have but
one. No other 9heings sweat like
men and horses, aud therefore can
not cool themselves BY pre5prlng
through the skin. This will be found
true throughout the whole range Of
comparative anatomy and applies to
the largest as well as the smallest be
ings. All the thick skinned animals,
except the horse, have no power in
the skin to eXhalc heat by .prespira
tion, it being only secretive surface.
All the cleft feet species inclidins
those with feet and toes rounded and
unimproyed with claws, the rhinoce-
ros, elephant, bison, mammoth mas
todon, buffalo, OK, swine, deer, the |!
on, tiger, wolf fox, squirrel, dor
mouse, oppossum, raccoon, all, like
The dog, have no meanes Of cooling
themselves when heated, through the
medium of precipitation Thus the
OK, when hot, thrusts ont his tongue
aud pants, to exhale the heat genera
ted bv exercise, and il driven with.
oln lime allowed for this will die
with the heat that accumluates with
in him. Hogs often die when driven
too fast, because they cannot part
with general aeat. ac .u1 oIs

he has already received a large nun
OF llecces Of fine wool. from the nrc-
MUM sheep Of Ohio, aud is having
them properly cleansed, so that the
real quality of the wool may be as
certained. This is new feature,
and will attract considerable atten-
tion.
Mr. Klippart and Mr.. Babbitt can
be found in the office any time during
the day, ready to give any imyforma-

A Curious Memorial TO Mr.. LincoIn.

A Curious Memorial 10 Mr.. Lincoln.
We are promised singular memo
rial ofour late President from Rome.
The National Committee, that secret
organization which directs the Ital-
ian party under the shadow Of the
Papacy, is preparing to send to this
country fragment mound or wall
of Servius Tullius, which dates back
as far as $40 b. g. and whose vestiges
may be seen IN the gardens of Sullust.
On this will be placed the following
inscription in Latin; "To Abraham
Lincoln, President of the American
Union, the citizens of Rome have de-
dicated this stone from the wall of
Servius Tullius that the memory of
these two valiant defenders of liberty
may be associated together, A, d..
1865" The address to President
Johnson which accompanies this relic
establishes q parallel between the
two characters whose names are thus
conjoined:
'Servius Tullius resembled in many
respects the great citizen whom
America has just lost. This king
admitted the people to all the rights
of citizenship, distributed among
them the territory Of conquered ma.
tions, favored the laboring classes,
instituted the census, facilitated for
the slaves the purchase of their lib
erty, and made citizens of freedmen;
in short, he gave order and unity to
the Roman people, and, to accomplish
this, had to contend against the am
bition of the patricians, who regard
ed the common veal as personal det
riment. Nevertheless, just as Ser
vius would deserve to be called the
founder Of Rome, since he changed
her institutions to assure her future
grandeur, SO, to our minds, Abraham

the indicator to be very high, but not
near breaking strain. At last up
came the cable and wire rope, shack
ing together on the "V" wheel ir the
boat. They were wound round it
slowly, the wire passing over those
wheels together, the first damaged
part being on board, when q jar was
given to the dynamometer, which
flew up from sixty hundredsweight
the highest point marked, with sud-
den jerk, three and q half inches
The chain shackle and wire rope
clambered, as it were, out Of the
groove on the right hand side Of the
V Of the wheel, got on the stop" Of
the rim of tho V wheel, and rushed
down with crash on the small wheel,
giving, no doubt, q, severe shake TO
the cable, to which twas attached
Tho machinery was still in notion
and the ropes Travelled aft together,
ono toward the capstan and the other
toward the drum, when, just as the
cable reached the dynamometer, IL
parted, and with one bound leaped,
as IL were, over a few feet of inter-
vening space, and splashed into the
sea. ~ -
The last mail from England brings
report, on good authority, that the
Great Eastern will be at once dis
patched from Shcerness to Newfound-
land. The object of this trip is to
fish up on the way the fragments Of
the discovered cable, which it is hoped
will be recovered by means of Crap
nels and buoys. The promoters Of
the enterprise in England are deter
mined to lay another cable next year,

Of the old one. '''''' A''"'

Rom OF The RniI.

A pretty little bit Of romance de
veloped itself in one OF The State
street cars on Friday. Among the
passengers was a pale, quiet little
woman, plainly dressed, and very
pretty withal. Presently a onc-leg-
gcd soldier laborcd into the car on
his crutches. The seats were crowd
ed and the soldier had to stand. The
young woman got up, pulled the blue
sleeve and pointed to the seat she had
vacated For the first time, as he
turned, she had full view o: his face,
and neither Of them pad any more
attention to the empty seat. They
started at each other q minute, and
then, in spite OF the awkward motion
of the car, embraced and kissed each
other with hysterical fervor. At irst,
the passengers were somewhat rs
tonished at SO public II demonstra-
ton; but all of them soon joined in
congratulating the delighted couple
upon learning that the two persons
thus suddenly brought together were
man and wife, long separated by the
vicissitudes of war. The soldier had
been desperately wounded in Ten
nossee and taken prisoner He was
supposed To have been killed, and be
fore he was restored TO freedom and
able to write, his wife, or widow, as
she supposed herself, removed TO
Chicago, and so his letters never
reached her. The poor fellow, as
soon as he could travel, set out for
home, with desponding heart, TO
learn why his letters had never been
answered. He reached Chicago on
Friday, on his way thither, when the
generous impulse of kind little wo-
man to a MANNED soldier, brought
her back q loving husband, and threw
him into the open arms of a wife who
had long mourned him rs among that
innumberable host who have lain
down their lives for the salvation OF
their country.
