we have bought another complete Spring

desirable Goods at very low prices.
Very thankful for the increasing patron
age and confidence Of the public, we shall
labor more faithfully than ever y show our
selves worthy.
We again most cordially Invite all persons
TO visit our store. We are sure that such
a stock ss ours is worth an examination, and
that no lady or gentleman will regret giving

The Newfoundland Telegraph Line and
the Atlantic Cable.

The cable which connected Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland (between Aspy Bay and Cape
Ray) having been broken, there IS at present
no communication across the Bay of st. Law
rence-about eighty miles-eXcept by a sailing
yacht. Communication is thus kept up with ST.
Johns, N. F., and thence-some four hundred
miles--by telegraph to st. Johns, at which
point there is direct communication by tele-
graph to Hearts Content, the proposed land
stauon OF the Atlantic Telegraph Gable.
Arrangements have already been made by the
New York and Newfoundland Telegraph Com
pany to lay down a new and superior telegraph
cable between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia,
and the Company hope to have direct commune
cation between New York and st. Johns within
the ensuing four weeks, and until then the
Company will, in the event of the success OF
the Atlantic cable, run one or more despatch
steamers daily between Cape Ray and Aspy Bay.

INSULATION OF TIE CABLE.

9TdpR writing from the GTedL EdS61n July lU,
says of the
INSULATION OF TIE CABLE.
''The services of Professor Thompson and Mr..
Varley, as consulting electricians TO the
cable, have fortunately not been required
hitherto. The customary daily tests through
the tanks show that the conducting power and
insulation OF the cable are perfect. During the
process OF ying the shore end on Saturday night,
the electrical power OF that portion of the caOG
was found superabundant, while its insulation
increased rapidly in proportion as it was sub.
merged. The even temperature and pressure of
the comparatively shallow water in which the
shore end is laid were sufficient in the course of
a few hours, TO raise the insulation to four
times the amount indicated when the cable was
coileG aboard the shir. The scientific reader
will better understand the state of insulation of
the shore end as cut and buoyed when il is
stated that the time required for the cable 10
come from charge to halt-charge is seven
minutes thirty-elght seconds. The exceedingly
susceptible nature of the modern recording in
struments enabled the observers in the signal
house ~ Foilhammerum TO determine not only
that the William Cory was rolling during the
time she was paying out the cable, but almost
to tiX the exact extent of each roll.
TESTS.
Mr. Willoughby Smith, the Company's cleo
triCian, has devised an elaborate system of test.
ing to be carried on during the process OF laying
the cable, which appears admirably calculated
to meet every possible contingency. There will
be continuity tests from the shore every FIVE
minutes. Elaborate directions are given for
opening communications with the shore from
the ship, and ulce uersa. Once day the ship
Will send the distance run, the miles paid out,
and the insulation resistance per mile. There
Is one direction which it is sincerely to be hoped
may never have to be acted on, namely, that If
sienals cease entirely for four hours from the
! snip, the shore operators can make what tests
| they deem necessary TO find out the cause OF the
stoppage. 1t is much more gratifying to find Il
assumed tnat the 1866 cable will be safely laid,
