TEE CABLE,-Ard can It be tTue2 Is the
cable laid, and is the magnetic current per-
feet from shore to shore? Are we indeed en-
rapport with the old world? And them 70
think that, happen what will, we shall still
have an advantage Of five orsix hours over
our transatlantic cousins. We shall know
at breakfast what the Shah of Persia has for
dinner. IF battle is fought in the after
noon, we shall know the result that very
morning, some hours, perchance, before it
commenced. -
Some funny mistakes will doubtless be
made till our people become accustomed TO
the difference in time, owing to the difference
in longitude. For instance, say the First
Lord Of the Bedchamber telegraphs that Her
Britannia Majesty has that moment gracious
ly gotten ont of bed, and is making her
morning prisons. The dispatch arrives here
at IL O'clock at night. The telegraphic
operator who records the message thinks
there must be some mistake; ''caIls" his
transatlantic brother, and asks him 70 ex>
plain the reason Of Her Majesty's keeping
such unreasonable hours, getting mp at II
O'Clock at night, etc. He at ValeDtia Bay
cannot see it. The Hearts Content" man
gives it up as bad job, and either thinks
the Irish operator st Valentia drunk, or else
that Her Majesty Is non compos Inen:is, .

ofit: .:..
This is the work Of an intimate friend Of

every father, brother, mother and sister in

the general fund in furtherance Of SO grand
and sublime charity. There are sixteen
thousand Confederate Soldiers graves in

undertakes to enclose the ground, while fhe
Ladies' Association in their work Of love,
gratitude and duty wish to turf and mark
each grave, giving name in FULL age, State
and regiment, and also to lay out and deeo~
rate the grounds. But they want means, the
association is poor, the city is poor, and to
the people Of the South is the call made for
help, and We are satisfied, the call will not
be in vain. -. :.
We are pleased to say that Mrs. Robert
Mclaughlin is the agent for NewbeTy, and
