The GREAT GABLE" EXCITEMENT. -
Amidst the turmoil of war in Europe and the
bitter agitation OF politics in our own country,
one OF the greatest events OF modern times has
transpired. No one in a merely cursorv glance
| can grasp the greatness OF the event. 1t is one
| nt NuhI m 0rl- IN in
tory. One tbat the more we look al it the more
we wonder at the undaunted and undring
energy OF these who carried the great under
taking through Yes the world is now erdlad.
| That which was laughed at by the skeptiCal as
chimera is now an accomplished fact, and
| everybody will begin to wonder why any one
had doubt of its success before,
! All inc eight torturing years of suspense to
the originators, and the bitter revllings they
suffered, will be forgotten. We will only remem-
Der that it was done. just at this time, too, the
| news in Europe is of that great and absorbing
nature that well illustrates the necessity Of
rapid communication with the Old World. There
are still some unbellevers who doubt the success
OF the cable. They are those who must have
| facts driven into their heads with mallets. Our
| bulletin boards still continue to publish news
! items OF absorbing interest, In our telegraphic
| columns viii be found deeply interesting news
from the belligerent powers in Europe.
AssAULTING AN OTFICER.-James Ban
min and Felix Shields were arrested for lighting
| in the streets, and assaulting an officer. Both
of the parties we're intoxicated at the time, and
were fighting. Officer McKibben undertook to
arrest them for this, when they turned their
| wrath upon him, and nearly tore his clothes
| from his back. They were committed by Alder
man Shoemaker in default of $500 bail each to
answer. 1t is about time that some severe exam
Piles were made of those lawless rowdies who
| take advantage of their organized crowds to
assault officers OF the peace while in the dis
charge of their duties. 1t has been our painful
| tnCk IN chrOnpla appraVatp0 Df this
kind within the past few weeks, and II is about
time it was done away with.
ANOTHER STABBING AFFAIR.-A man
| by the name OF Campbell got eXasperated at an
Italian named Michael Paride night before last,
| at Mead alley wharf. and fight ensued. Camp
bell is fiery, hot-headed fellow, aud the Italian
could not speak a word of English, 80 the only
| way TO argue was the knock-doWn argument.
Campbell struck Paride, when the latter drew
knife aud cut him over the eye, causing very
ugly looking, If not serious wound. The
| Italian was soon afterwards arrested, and at o
preliminary examination before Alderman Tit
| termary he was committed TO await the result
| of the wound. which it is feared Is of a rather
serious character.
SUSPICION OF LARCENY.-This is a case
| that more nearly resembles burglary than q
larceny. On the morning of the 28th, between
and 6 o'clock, John Gallagher. it Is averred
broke into, or made forcible entry into, the
tavern occupied by William Kennedy, and took

"ELsTER's FoLLY."-Such has been the
success of Mrs. Woods new novel, "Elsteri
