The Atlantic Telegraph.

Letters received by the Persia speak in
flattering terms in relation to q successful
termination Of this great International en-
terprise, great care having been taken in
manufacturing the cable. every inch of
which has been minutely tested. The
weight of the cable in the air is thirty Ave
and three quarters hundred weight per
nautical mile; in water fourteen hundred
weight, or equal to eloven times its weight
in water per knot-that is to say, it bears
its own weight in eloven feet of water. The
breaking strain is seven tons fifteen hun
dred weight. The Great Eastern is expect.
ed to sail on her intended voyage between
the 23d of Juno and the Sth of July. No
reply has been received from the United
States government to the application made
by the company for steamer to accompa-
ny the Great Eastern. Messrs. Glass, ..El.
liot g. Co., have concluded to allow no per.
son on board of the ship during the voy-
ago, except those engaged in working the
ship, laying tho cable and the scientific
corps, and one director. The cable is to be
laid from the west coast of Ireland to New.

Andersonville Barbarities.

A correspondent at Macon, who has con.
versed with some OF the Andcrsonville prisoners,
sa Us that the horrible stories they tell OF their
treatment are beyond description. One OF IN
formants states that the keeper of the pri IN, a
black hear ted, snake-ey yed devil by the name of
Wir,z, would amuse himself by putting down
the number Of prisoners confined, and dividing
them by the average number of deaths per day,
and then chuckle, saying 10 them ''It wop,t be
long till all you id ankees are in hell"-
He would also grant thirty days iurlough 10
any one of the guards who would detecta prison.
er with his hauds on tho dead line and shoot him:
Some of the men were so weak from diarrhoea
and starvation tt at they would sometimes fall
on the dead line from sheer exhaustion, and cer-
tain death was the result. Wirtz boasted that
he was killing more Yankees than any regiment
in the field. During the winter the prisoners
suffered severely from lack of wood; They
would build small fire of splinSrs, and crouch
around il until flesh and blood could sand II no
longer, and then drop dead at the ieet OF their
compa mons. The only opportunity OF obtaining
wood, in addition to the scanty supply furnished
them, was by parties who carried out the dead
men, who would fill the blanket with wood, A
small piece OF this would sell for one hundred
dollars Some of the men, when they were dy-
ing; actually sold the privilege of carrying them
out for money with which to purchase cup
coffee or bit to eat

What is "Apple Pie Order?"

Does it mean iE order or disorder !? We
rather incline to the latter, and think it
means, or meant originally, in a muddlo-
We think too, that it has nothing to do
with "apple" or "pio" in the common sense
of the words. We believe it to be q typo
graphical. nrm, and that it was originally
"Chapel.pie." A printing house was and is
to this day called a chapol--perhaps from
the Chapel at Westminster Abbey, in which
Caxtof's earliest works are said to have
been printed, and pie" is type after it is
has bash dRFok9p up and before i.
came from the confused and perploxing
rules of the "Pie;" that is the order Col
finding the lessons in Catholic times, which
those who have read or care to read the
Preface to the "Book of Common Prayer
will find there expressed and denounced
Here is tho passage: Moreover the num-
Der and hardness of the rules called the
Pie, and the manifold changings Of the SER
vice, was the cause thai to turn the book
only was SO hard and intricate matter, tina,
many times there was more business te
find out what should be road than to reat
it when found out. To leave your type ir
pie is to leave it nsorted and in confusion
and "apple-pie order" which we take to bt
'chapel pie order," is to leave anything il
thorough mess. Those who like to takt
tee other side, and assert that "apple pi'
ordor' means in perfect order, may still
find their derivation in "chapel-pie"; for th'
ordering and sorting of tho "pie" or type il
enforced in every "cbapel" or printing
house by severe fines, and SO "ohapol-pie
order" would be such order of the type as
the best friends of the chapel would wish to
see.--N. British Reuie,c.

the ring or the cause of its being worn, and

the matter, at last mustered the requisite courage
and said" Monsieur every one is very much

CLEAN Your CELLARs.--If not already done,
thoroughly purge this subterreanean story of your
house. Every decayed onion. cabbage stump,
potato vine or tnber, turnip, parsnip, carrot, all
the dirt they have made, and all straw and rub
bish, should be raked' up and thrown out. Tho
cellar is no place for them at any time of the
year. If you still retain few potatoes for table
use, let them be picked over and al the decayed
ones remove ed. One OF the best housewives of
our acquaintance greeted us not long since with
an invitation TO come and see the cellar. u
have swept down every cobweb, whitewashed
the walls, swept up the floor. and sowed it with
salt" Decayod vegetable matter is fertile

doors in this country without heaPing it up in
the cellar for the special purpose, it would al
most seem, of breeding fevers. Whitewash the
walls, for lime purifes as well as beaut:fesl--
Sweep down the cobwebs- they are the iniallible
marks of slattern. Salt destroys worms, etc.
If your cellar is very dry and sandy, you may
use salt without detrimeni; but, if too damp, it
will make the matter worse.
