Congress. has al1cady committed the Tn
Ion party to negro suffrage, and the at
tempt to deny it would be false issue,
followed By certain defeat. The Democ-
racy did not argue against suffrage but
assumed it to be great crime, and charg>
ed it on the Union party The charge was
true; there was no choice bat to confess
that impartial suffrage ia part Of our
creed, and justify it before the people.

The expectation Of many, SO often disap-
pointed, with reference to the Atlantic Gable
is likely now to be realized. The greatest
precautions have been taken to render it a
success, and vast strides made in the con-
struction of trustworthy cable and the i'm
provemcnt Of the instruments with which it
is to be successfully operated. The shore
end of the cable was landed at Valentia on the
9th inst, and the VIM. Cory proceeded to
sea Immediately, paying out slowly
The work Of laying the shore end, thirty
miles Of cable, was accomplished in less than
twelve hours and its insulation found to be
perfect The main cable was to be spliced
to the shore end on the 18th inst, when the
laying of it was to commence. BY the time
our next paper goes to press, it may be pos
sible that European news as late as that re-
eeived from the cities of this Continent, may
be reported in the papers Of the day The
Atlantic cable successfully laid, what will be
the next great undertaking Of the world?

Since our last issue, in which we reported
the cession Of Venetia BY Austria to France,
Napoleon has notified the Italians to cease
warlike operations on Venetia as it is now
French territory, and has also notified prus-i
STA of his armed mediation. The Prusslans
still continued to advance, and were but a
few DAYS march from Vienna, and the Ital-
ians under Cialdini had crossed the Po.-
The Emperor of Austria issued another man
ifesto on the 10th inst, in which he states
his request made to the Emperor Of the
French to use his efforts to bring about an
armistice with Italy, and his acceptance Of
Napoleons offer to intercede with Prussia
for suspension Of hostilities and the open
ing ofncgotiations for peace. He asserts his
willingness to make peace on honorable terms,
but asserts his determination nerer to sane
ton treaty by aehich the Fundamental con-
ditions of -Austria's position as a great pos0-
er 'eoMd,, be shaken. He says the gaps in
the ranks are being filled by CONSUMPTION and
volunteering, caused by the newly awakened
spirit Of patriotism and that Austria has met
with misfortune but is not Inundated or
bowed down. It is reported that the Brit
ish Government will join France and Russia
in mediating between the belligerents.

THE TALK OF MEN AND WOMEN.
Frenchman Of a statistical turn of mind, who
evidently has but little to do, publishes in a
Havre paper some curious statistics of the
average talk Of men and women. He has
discovered that an ordinary middle-aged man
spends three hours per day in conversation,
calculating at the rate Of one hundred words
per minute, or twenty-nine octave pages per
hour, which would amount to six hundred
pages per week, OF fifty-two big volumes per
year. Having ascertained these facts as re-
CARDS the masculine portion of the human
race, the statistician applied his best energies
to ascertain the amount of words uttered by
an ordinary and middle-aged female per min
ute, and the amount Of time spent on the
average by that sex in general conversation.
After the most patient investigation and alb
struse calculation, this able arithmetician
was compelled to give up the questi IN and
confess the magnitude Of the figures produ-
ced even at the outset Of the inquiry baffied
all human calculation.

SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS OF THE HEAT
Professor Loomis, Of Yale College, makes
on the 18th instant the following interesting
observations upon the hot weather:
''This afternoon, at o'clock, my Their
mometer, suspended in the shade upon the
north side Of the New Haven Hotel indica-
ted 1929 degrees, being the highest temper
allure known to.have been observed in New
Haven since l778, a period Of 80 years. The
highest temperature recorded before the pres
ent season was l02 degrees, viz: June "a,
1864. Previous to this the thermometer
had been twice observed at 101 degrees, viz :
in 1898, and there have been three other
cases in which the thermometer has risen to
100 degrees. viz: in 1881, 1900 and 1916,
making in all seven known instances in which
a thermometer, fairly exposed in the shade,
has risen to 100 degrees and upwards.
'sThe period just passed has beenquite as
remarkable for the long continuance Of ex-
IRENE heat as for its intensity. Within pc
Rod Of eleven days the thermometer has risen
tiue times to 95 degrees and upwards. Since
177S there has been only one other instance
in which the thermometer has risen to this
height five times during the same summer,
viz: in 1915, and these cases were spread
over an interval Of thirty-six days. During
the same period there have been but two other
cases in which the thermometer has risen to
50 degrees as many as four times durinshth the
summer, viz: in 1880 and 1898.

1878 was the month Of July, 1925. The

AN INTERESTING BAPTISM Old Christ
Church, +" in Lancaster county, Virginia, was
recently During convocation of clergymen
Of the Northern Neck, J the scene Of most
interesting baptismal ceremony An obser-
yer on the occasion gives the following de-
scription:
The ample shade Of the grand old walnut
trees was soon shared by an immense con-
course Of people, and ere the hour arrived,
every seat and resting place, and nook, was
filed. There was secret influence perya-
ding the minds Of that multitude, saying, in
the silence Of their hearts, your fathers for
generations past have worshipped within
these venerable and majestic walls The
services Of the day were very solemn.
The pure white old Italian marble font,
Of three feet in diameter, was to he used
Mark S. Ashburne was baptized, and then
he presented his little boy.
''Name this child" was pronounced by
the rector officiating.
All was still in that large old church, as the
standing congregation had every eye riveted
on the fontal scene. But what death like
silence came over them when the father an
swered for the child:
g His name is Jefferson Davis p
The minister faltered as he slowly pro-
nounced that name Tears believed many
cheeks as they toicklcd down; hearts were
bleeding, battle-felds, the buried dead, the
casemate and the prisoner-thi was the
scene that came before our minds. -Norfozh
