OCEAN TELEGRAPHs.

Seven More Telegraph Cables Projected.
The Journal Of Mining says:-"Since the last
issue of the Journal Of Mining announcement
has been made of the successful junction OF the
lost cable of 1866 with Hearts Content-so that
two great telegraphic nerves now unite Great
Britain to America. No excitement followed
that announcement, because we suppose the
public mind has been too much agitated by
politics TO care about anything else, but we
believe the importance of this success is none
the less appreciated, as well by those who in
consequence thereof will save money in the re-
duced rates charged for messages, as by that
larger class who gam by reading in their news
paper every morning at breakfast larger modi-
cum OF European telegraphic news. Hence, we
have thought that some mention of other deep
sea cable projects will prove acceptable to our
readers. So far as we can ascertain there are
no less than seven OF them.
I'First Is that of the American Atlantic Gable
Telegraph Company; capital SlO.0OO,000, in
shares Of $1,000 each President, w. 5. Worl
Office, 81 New street and 38 Broad street. The
route proposed is from Cape Charles Opposite
Fortress Monroe) to the Bermudas-slX hundred
and seyenty-seven miles, thence to the Azores,
eighteen hundred miles, and thence to Lisbon In
Portugal seven hundred and nifty miles; The
advantages claimed by Mr.. Worl, the protector,
for this route are-that the cable can be laid In
three sections, that in case OF accident to one
section the other two would remain intact; that
shipping stations at the Azores and Bermucas
would be established where masters OF vessels
could be placed in communication with their
. owners; that the business of these stations alone
would pay handsomely and that such. stations
would enable the line 10 be worked with four

Ihe Miser.


Old Boge was miserable old fellow, who
had accumulated great wealth by lifelong
peevishness But even misers have to die
sometime, and old Boge%as at length called
on to pay that debt which all must pay, and
which is paid as easily by. the msn who hasn't
cent as BY the posscssor of millions.
Old Boge was sick unto death, finding q
partial recompense in bis sutferings from the
reflection that as be could not eat anything,
something was being saved. His physician
told him that his end was rapidly approach
ing, and as he felt within himself that he was
rapidly appr ,aching his end, j: was evident to
Did Bope that he must meet his end very
soon. HHow long have TO live ?" asked
Old Boge, IN faint voice.
"Only half an hour" said the physician,
taking out his watch in n business manner,
and added Is there any one yon would
like to send fora clergyman, for instance p
Old Boge unused in lethargc way for

The barber came with his kit, and old

"One dollar,n. said the barber, wondering
what he meant.

nervously eyeing the watch which the doctor
held in his hand. He was too weak to speak
further, brt the doctor interpreted Alright the
question that vas in his eyes.
Fifteen minutcs," replied tine dootar.
Old Boee made feeble motion as with a
la,hcr brush, and the barber was at his work
in jiay. He performed his task with dis,
patch, and although the sick man had several
sinking spells oi ap alarming rature, yet ne
bore up to the end. When the last stroke of
the razor was given, old Boge whispered III

HneIe aTe you 8oiuS 81 1851, oiu niu,
Where are you going so fast?
There's valley to cross, and a river to ford,
There's clasp of the hand and parting word,
And tremulous sigh for the past, old man,
The beautiful vanished past.
The road has been rugged and rough, old man
To your feet its rugged and rough,
But yor see dear being with gentle eyes,
Has shared in your labor and sacrifice;
All that has been sunshine enough, old man,
For you and me, sunshine enough.
how long since you've passed over the hill, old
man,
OF life Ger the top of the hill?
Were there beautiful valleys on tother side?
We're there flowers and trees With their branches
wide,
=. To shut out the heat of the sun, old man,
The heat of the fervd sun?
And how do you cross the waves, old man,
OF sorrow, the fearful waves?
Did you lay your dear treasures by, one by one,
With IN aching heart and Gods will be done,'
1, Under the wayside dust, old man,
In the graves meath the wayside dustY
= There is labor and sorrow for all, old man,
Alas there is sorrow for all,
And you, peradventure, have had your share,
For eighty long winters have whitened your hair'
And they've whisened your heart as well. old
man,
Thank God, your heart as we'll.
You're now 1t the foot of the hill, old man,
At last at the foot of the hill;
The sun has gone down in golden glow.
And the heavenly city lies just below;
Go in through the pearly gate, old man,
The beautiful pearly gate.

THE SIeNIr1cANcE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS
TR1AL.-The approaching trial OF Mr.. Jeffer-
son Davis wilrtest the validity of States rights
in a manner worthy Of the immense impor-
tance Of tho principle. A great defendant
and a great cause will compela great verdict;
The Southern theory, and It used to be the
Northern theory until the European became
predominant in the Puritanic and despotic
section of the Union, is, that the FIRST ailegi-
ance Of q citizen is due to his own States.
When the State of Mississippi seeded. from
the Union by the legitimate action of its Leg.
islatare, Mr.. Davis would have been traisor-
to Mississippi if he had refused his adhesion.
Upon that issue his trial will depend. Ii
will be great cause in America and through.
out the world but greatest in America, be-
cause the verdict will help to Determine the
question that lies at the root of American
liberty. If the first allegiance is due to the
Federal power in case3 not external to the
Union, American democracy is as dead "a
American slavery, and the future dictator
has but to sharpen his sword and bids his
time for his inevitable triumph.-BlackEocd's 8
Magazine.
