ooint. the line is to be built by the Russian
Government, and the work is already SO far
advanced as to make it probable that it viii be
completed as early as the portion undertaken
by the American engineers. The Philadelphia
Press, from which we gather some Of the
above facts, says:
I'm one wear from this time, all these eonnec-
lions will probably be completed. 1t is sup
nosed that the overland wires in America and
sia will be finished the coming winter, and
+hat the short submarine cables will be laid
in the Pacific, below Behring's Straits, next
summer. 1t has been demonstrated that high
latitudes are peculiarly favorable to telegraph
ic enterprises, as they are comparatively free
from moisture, and the timber in the poles is
not subject to rapid decay. The experience of
Russia in her long line of five thousand miles
through Siberia, corresponds with that of the
owners of the great American line running
from San Francisco to the Atlantic. The adj
vantages Of this route, lengthy as it is, over
the Atlantic cable are numerous Its expenses
and charges will be lighter. If any accident
occurs, it can be speedily and cheaply RENE
died. The concurrence of three great ma
tions-the United States, Great Britain and
Russia--will be required for its successful OPP
Grafton, and their mutual interests will de-
mand that it should be devoted to the COM
mon good of each and all, and not used as an
instrument for hostile purposes. No untried
problems are involved in its construction; its
projectors have only to extend mechanical con-
trivances with which they are perfectly tamil
lar, over districts similar to those now occu-
pied, and to use few of such short cables as
have already been thoroughly tested, to ac-
complish the end which the Atlantic cable
seems unable to attain.

When the President had thought profound

sure Of his ground, criticism, either public or
private, did not disturb him. Last year, upon
the appearance of what was known as the
"Wade and Davis manifesto" an intimate
friend and supporter, who was very indignant
that such a document should have been put
forth just previous to the Presidential election,
took occasion to animadvert very severely upon
the course that prompted it. at is not worth

THE ATLANTIC GABLE.
The Russian Telegraph Lime.


The probable failure Of the last Atlantic
Telegraph enterprise will undoubtedly excite
in this country more of regret than of disap-
pointment Confidence in the success of the
undertaking has never been general, and the
matter has awakened little or no enthusiasm.
This comparative Indifference has doubtless
been owing, IN part, to the fact that the pro-
jet has really had little of an international
character. 1t was almost exclusively Britis h
in origin, in management and in construction
and the management of the affair promised to
be of a kind which would.render it more
means of putting large profits into the pock-
cts Of few capitalists than of furthering es-
sentially the cause Of universal progress and
brotherhood. But however that might have
been makes little difference now, as there
seems no reason to expect anything less than
complete failure of this second attempt to lay
a line from Ireland to Newfoundland. We be-
lieve that when the matter comes to be fully
investigated, it will be found that the construc-
ton of the present cable has been greatly
less perfect and less faithful than that of its
predecessor, and we doubt il the managers of
the enterprise themselves, had much faith in
its success. Flr@r
In this country what disappointment is felt
will be mitigated by the belief that American
and Russian enterprise are likely ere long to
supply surer and more reliable system of tel
egraphic communication with the old world.
The western route which is to connect Ameri-
ca, Asia and Europe, is being rapidly and ener-
getically pushed to completion; and if proper
" regulated and protected, promises to be a
WORK OF permanent and international utility
Inc plan has lately received the formal ap-
proval of the Gar, and the line will be built by
RUSSIA as iar as Nicolajeusk on the Russian Pa
cltic coast, where the American company viii
connect with the Russian line. The Western,
Union Telegraph Company has extanded ;ts
line northWard from San Francisco t1ro,,ot
Oregon and Washington territories - Ne,,
Westminster, the capital of British Colun,h;a
Under the sanction of the British Govern
ment, which has granted them an exclusive
right of way for thirty years, they are now
rapidly pushing the work through the north
ern portion of British Columbia, whence it is
to be carried through Russian America to
point few hundred miles south of Behring's
Straits. Here the Pacific Ocean is about five
hundred miles wide, and nearly midway is an
island, upon which it is proposed to erect a
station that viii be connected by several short,
submarine cables with either shore. From
the landing in Siberia, our American company
is to construct the line to the point which we
have already named, at the mouth of the
Amoor river. From st. Petersburg to this

PLUMBERS.


The reader may ask, What are plumpers?
A very proper question and deserves an an
swer. A Saratoga correspondent of the New
York Tribune throws some light on this ques-
ton when speaking of the machinery of good
looks" He writes:
There is as a general thing a very great eff
fort to reveal as much as possible the peculiar
female charms without the design being too
evident The same bony outline and niggard-
ly fountains predominant, either in one extreme
or the other. Tight lacing still congresses the
lungs. Pads for every part of the body are in
use. A device for putting out to smoothness
the wrinkles of the cheeks, called "plumpers,"
has been introduced. False necks and busts
have been abandoned as improbable.
1t is indeed true that women especially
those who visit our fashionable watering pla-
ces-are much in the habit of "eking out their
natural charms by artificial methods" There
are some who do this thing so sldllfully that
even keen observer might be deceived, but
alasl there will always be some who never fail
to let the secret out. We are somewhat in
clined to the opinion that many of these arti
fetal works, like some of the poetical creations
OF Moore, "are too gross for spirit, and yet too
obviously frail for EARTH"

but to citizenship, and the democrat who
would deny them the rights for which their
wounds and glorifed colors 50 eloquently
