cable was successfully laid; but failed on nc
count of imperfect insulation It was man
ufaotured perhaps, at too early periodin the
history of elecho-telegraphy. Certainly it was
constructed at time when the mechanical
portion of the art was far behind its present
stage. Now, it is believed that a cable has
been manufactured which for insulation, and
responsiveness to manipulation is, if not per-
feet, at least all that can be desired for prac-
teal purposes. Thus it may be assumed that
one of the principal difficulties has been
absolutely overcome. The cable of
last year parted in mid ocean from
an accident which is by no means likely
to recur. The very occurrence of that nishap
suggested methods Of paying out the cable,
which will obviate any such misfortune on this
trial. What other contingencies may arise to
defeat the object of the expedition, and to de-
lay the establishment of telegraphic commune
cation between the two continents we cannot
conjecture but this much we can assume
that the chances now are more favorable than
ever before and that even if failure come
again, the same indomitable spirit which has
conducted the enterprise through three such
will finally bring it to a successful

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

The tnird experiment to lay a telegraph line
Reross the Atlantic Ocean is about to be re-
solved either into failure or success. Daily
the news may be expected of the arrival of the
Great Eastern, with the western end of that
metallic cord with which it is DESIGNED to
bind the two continents together. The event
will be one Of the most extraordinary IN The
history of the world but, extraordinary ~ II
is, the public interest in it seems to be in no
way comparable to that which was manifested
when the first attempt was made. Ii may be
that this seeming listlessness is the result 81
lack Of novelty, or of confirmed scepticisn
but it is more likely that the unusual and ire
mendous events of the last five wears.
and the remarkable features of the pres
ent, have turned the public mind of
the world into new channels. Yet it is
strange indeed that while war seems to be
working it's viii upon the civilized world
peace should be on the eve of achieving its
most splendid triumph. Before such a VIC
tory over the forces Of nature, over the winds
and the tempests Of the oceans surface. and
the unknown dangers which lurk at the
bottom of the sea, the glories Of battles and
sieses will pale into insignifcance.
In the face of the failure Of the two nra.
yious attempts it would, of course be prespI,,,
tuous to prophecy success for the present
enterprise. The natural obstacles are tba
same now as they were before, and II Is even
possible that others may intervene which

obnoxious to the majority, as witness the in
stances of Stockton, Brooks, VOORHEES, and
others in the present Congress- We had
hoped this spirit of lawlessness and violence
would not Appearin the South. We are sorry to
see so fragrant an exhibition of it in Ten
nessee. We are threatened with something
similar even here in Louisiana, if Che radical
revolutionists carry cut their plan of reconven-
ing the convention of 1864. How far we can
go in this way without demonstrating popular
government to be afailure is aquestion which
it becomes sober-minded and law-abiding peo-
pie very seriously to consider.

ing its particular interests or aims and when
we behold the number Of fairs, of charitable
concerts, balls, pic-nics, etc, etc, that are
given for the promotion of these sociable OBJ
jects, we cannot but acknowledge, that all the
talents, all the gifts Of our population are
necessarily employed to perfect this system
Of actual communism, in the most laudable,
most praiseworthy manner, indeed. That
this condition of modern civilization is not
to be COMPOUNDED with the gross or material
division OF property, as understood by GER
tain school of Jewelers., or equalizers, needs
no explanation but still it is equally distant
from that form of society which would found
upon the spur of ones own interest alone,
the foundation or ground work Of social COM
munion. What We actually understand by
the social movement that is working itself
out of the ground, as it were, is the natural
outgrowth, the product Of popular coneep-
ton or idea formed by the constant perusal
of the old and new testament, as contained in
the modern bible.

GEO. d. PRENTICE's PERSONAL BEAUTY.-The
editors Of the Journal and the Courier at Lou.
isyilIe are constantly chatting each other
about their goodlooks. The last lick is struck
by the Courier man, who tells the following
story on Prentice
The Journal is very fond Of disparaging our
really handsome face. An incident in the life of
our negllbOr is revived in our memory by his Der-
sisteut and frequent paragraphs on ugiiness. Our
readers Will remember that several years ago our
neighbor tried his hand at lecturng On one oc-
casi0n at an inland city of Ohio his fame as a wit
and pOet-a fame, by the way honestly won and
gracefully wOn-attracted very large crowd
Some repairing going on in the pit Of the theater
he was to lecture in made it necessary to Law d
temporary flooring over the pit This flooring was
rather tra structure, and was densely crowded
In about the middle Of our neighbours lecture the
treacherous plauks gave way, precipitating fully
one third OF the audience into the unknown regions
below. This unlooed-foT accident caused the great
characterization among the audience, many beliey-
ing that the house was fallingin upon then. Ladies
tainted, andall rushedf0r the door. The news that
--'s tleater had tallen and killed and wounded
the Lord knows how many people, spread through
the city like wdfire. The sisters of mercy ever
first where good is to be done, were quickly on the
spot, alternating the suherings Of the few who were
hurt. Our neighbOr, in passing. out of the door
was espied by one of the sisters, who fastened to
him with lint and bandages and soothing lotions in
her hand loving charity in her heart. 'Stop a mo
ment, my poor man." she said, land will en-
deavor to ease your pain somewhat "But my
dear madam, persisted our neghbor, Il have no
need Of assistance, / am not in the least hurt"
She looked in his face intently for a moment, as
though hesitating whether to believe him or not.
But the gasight shining full upon his countenance
showed her that "there was neither bruise, cut
nor abrasure." ~ beg thousand pardons, sir,
she said, apologetically, II thought your face was
terribly mashed up, but l now see it is natural
malformation" andIthe good and innocent creature
tipped off to hunt up some one who was indebted
TO accident and not nature, for his misfOrtunes.
