seem all but incredible to you that intelli.
gence should travel for two thousand miles,
along those slender copper wires, far down
in all but fathomless Atlantic, never be-
fore penetrated by aught pertaining to hu.
manity, save when some laundering vessel
has plunged with her haplcss company to
tho eternal silence and darkness of the
abyssf s,.t
Does it seem, I say, all but miracle Of
art, that the thought of living men-the
thoughts that we think up here ON the
earth's surface, in the cheerful light Of
day-about the markets. and the exchan-
ges, and the seasons, and the elections, and
the treaties, and the wars, and all the fond
nothings of daily life, should clothe them
selves with elementary sparks, and shoot
with fiery speed, in moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, from hemisphere to
hemisphere, far down among the uncouth
monsters that wallow in tho neither seas,
along the wreck paved floor, through the
oozy dungeons of the rayless deep-that
the latest intelligence of the crops, whose
dancing tassels will, in few months, be
coquetting with the West winds on those
boundless prairies, should 60 flashing along
the Shiny decks Of old sunkeu galleons,
which have been rotten for ages; that mes.
sages OF friendship and love, from warm,
living bosoms, should burn over the cold
green bones Of men and women, whose
hearts, once as warm as ours, burst % the
eternal CULTS closed and roared over them
centuries ago. .r

LIFE IN TExAs.-A correspondent
writes: Almost every man you meet car
ries huge revolver in his belt and proba.
bly, has bowie knife under his vest. They
laugh at the little revolvers common at
the North; call them pop-guns, and res
pect nothing but a navy six shooter or
Ballard rife. Look round in any bar.room,
and you will sec marks of Derringer and
revolver bullets all around the walls. In
every alteration the rule is to shoot first
and argue afterwards. At Richmond, a
little town not far from here, l was wait
ing at the depot the other day, and it hap
pened that fight took place in bar room
opposite. The scufle had lasted about
fifteen seconds, when brawny Texan near
me who at first had maninifested an incli.
nation to cross over and see the fun, turned
on his heels with countenance of deep
disgust, exclaiming "They're Irish.
They're not Americans, or there'd have
been shot fred now" Inquiry showed
that he was right, and this little incidence
gave me curious glimpse into the customs
OF the country. Human life is of less ac-
count here than horse flesh. There has
been nobody hung for murder in Texas in
the last ten years, bus G grea. many have
been hung Tor horse stealing.
