j. r. TUCKER Eso.-From pen and ink
picture of some of the Virginia delegates in
the New York Convention, drawn by cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, We copy
the following:
By his side you note a brown, olive face,
with an eye that seems to promise something
more than common, and yet ever and anon
with merry twinkle that portrays quick per-
ception OF humor That is j. Randolph Tucker,
better known as Ran Tucker. of Virginia,
never in Congress or federal Office, but well
! known in the party contests Of the Old Do
minion as trenchant writer and stump spea-
ker, unrivaled for humor, pathos and power of
| argument. | have heard all the great stumpers
| OF theS Union, but none superior to Ran Tucker.
But politics with him is not a profession, nor
has 1t ever been. He married young, has q
| large family, has no money, and is close and
| unremlttlng worker at the law, and never ne
| elects business tor anything else and whether
before jury or a Court OF Appeals will hold
his own with the best. Outside of this, he is
delightful, a humorist, mimic, FIJI Of inno-
cent fun and gee as a child, rare acquisition
at dinner party, but yet in his most festive
moments doing nothing, saying nothing incon-
sistent with his duty as a professor of religion
Outside of his State he is little known, but ali
| through the Old Dominion every body knows
and likes Ran Tucker. Abolish your mean and
malignant acknowledgements and this gifted
son Of Old Virginia will make bis mark in the
! public councils

How TO GET SLEEP.-This is to many per-
sons matter of high Importance. Nervous
persons, who are troubled with wakelulncss and
excitability, usually have strong tendency of
blood on the brain, with cold cxtremities The
pressure of the blood on the brain keeps it in
stimulated or Wakelul state, and the pulsalions
in the head are often painful. Let them rise
and chafe the body and extremities with brush
or towel, or rub smartly with the hands to
promote circulation, and withdraw the exces.
Sive amount of blood from the brain, and they
will fall asleep in few moments. A cold bath,
or sponge bath, and rubbing, or good run
or rapid walk in open air, Or going up and
down stairs a few times just before retiring,
will aid in equalizing circulation and promote
sleep. These rules are simple, and easy of ap-
pication, and may minister to the comfort Of
thousands. .a.5-..

The Age Of Electricity.

Since the Atlantic cable was successfully
laid and the electric spark flashes the news OF
each dry across the ocean, capitalists seem to
have found new Edoralo in submarine tcle-
graphy, and are eagerly investing in cable
schemes that promise them profitable returns.
Two cables lie at present between En- gland and
America, and one connects our country with
Cuba Several smaller ones are also in con-
slant operation and we are to have cable
from France to the United States via the
Island Of st. Peters, and another from Brest to
New York. The latter enterprise, under the
auspices Of the "Franco-Amerlcan Submarine
Cable Company" will be organized with a
stock Of nearly one million sterling and will
probably be carried through next summer.
The stock and directors viii DO represented in
the United States, France and England by one
third for each country. In addition to some
valuable concessions made by the French
government and by the Submarine Telegraph
Company across the English channel the new
company promise expedition and cheapness
in the transmission Of their dispatches. There
will be no necessity then for repeating mes
sages on this side of the Atlantic, as is the case
at present between New York and Hearts
Content The contract for tho manufacture
OF the new cable has already been made, and
the enterprise is being pushed forward as
speedily as possible.
Thus the progress of the age annihilates
space, time and labor, and binds the world
with links of fraternity and Intelligence Con-
tinents are united in bonds as sacred and in
dissoluble as those Of mairimony the scaly
jewellers Of the deep sea open their staring eyes
still wider in wonder at the new tenant Of their
domain the depths of the ocean culver as
Europe and America converse together, and
business of all kinds is conducted on broader
principles than ever was known before. And
yet this is bu. the beginning of the great
work. Before many years have rolled by the
entire civilized world will be united by a net
work Of cables and land lines and will throb
with the pulse of electricity in every part Of
its vast body. Its capitals-New York,
Paris, London. Moscow, Calcutta, Jcddo and
San Francisco--will hold daily converse and re-
fleet simultaneously the fluctuations OF trade
and commerce in each city The influence Of
ocean telegraphy has already been felt every.
where to material extent; but 1t has only
commenced its labors. What the climax will
be no man can conceive, and the world Of the
future may laugh at our ideas Of progress as
we regard the puny efforts Of our ancestors.
