The Atlantic Cable ia reported to have
received fresh injury. The cable laid in
1866 has parted at distance of about sew
enty miles from Hearts Content, and this
is the fourth accident that has happened
to it on the Newfoundland side. In the
middle of August, however, fault in the
same cable was discovered at q short dis
tance from Velentia Bay, Ireland These
fractures have not yet been mended, as
the rough weather has prevented the sail
ing of the repair steamer. The 1865 ca
BILE. which was picked up in mid ocean,
where it had been lost in the attempt to
lay it, has continued to work uninterrup.
ted, while the 1865 cable has suffered FIVE
mishaps. The reason assigned for this
immunity is, that the 1865 cable was laid
in carefully surveyed channel, while the
1866 cable was laid over rough sunken
rocks, and during unfavorable weather.
Had the lost cable of 1865 not been re-
covered, the communication between Eng
land and America would have been inter
ruptod for considerable period of time on
five occasions. Surplus cables are stored
both at Hearts Content and Va1entia, so
as to repair any fault as soon as possible.

Two successive crops of cotton, one Of
about two million and half bales, and
the ether estimated at two million and
three quarters, (not to speak of other
crops) have placed the South on firmer
financial basis, and given her more abund-
ant elements of material prosperity than
she has enjoyed for many years-perhaps,
all things considered, for the last genera
tion.

Another story of George Peabo dy's
Love.

Love.
The Providence Journal publishes tho fol-
lowing episode In the life Of George Pea
body; A story has been going the rounds OF
the newspapers giving as reason why Mr..
Peabody was never married that he adopted
a young girl, whom, after she grew up, he
wished TO make his wife. but finding that
she preferred clerk In his establishment to
the chief Of the house, he "never told his
love-" but calmly gave her up, and saw her
married to o younger rival. or tho truth Of
that story know nothing, but can vouch
for this that ! am now going 10 relate.
More than 80 years ago, In the school Of
John Kingsbury, was one Of the fairest
daughters Of Providence. Her school edu-
cation finished, she went with friends to
Europe, not, however, before having given
her youthful affections to young man whom
she had met in sister city. But before
marriage adversely came upon him, and he
found himself In no situation TO marry. He
was not willing she should waste her youth
and beauty In waiting through long years,
so he released her from her VOWS, and they
parted, abe going, as l said, to Europe.
There she met George Peabody, then, COM
paratively speaking, a young man, but one
saw her and was struck with her grace, her
winning ways, her lovellness, and he "pro-
posed"
Her heart still chung to her loved one
across the wide Atlantic, but after some
time she yielded, perhaps to the wishes OF
her friends, perhaps TO the promptings OF
worldly ambition-who can tell She DO.
came the afflanced wife OF Mr.. Peabody.
After little interval she came back to this
country, and soon after her arrival met
her frat love. At sight Of him all her
former affection came back, II, indeed, II
had ever left her, and Mr.. Peabody. with his
wealth and brilliant prospects, faded away,
and she chung with fond affection To her
American lover, and was willing to share
moderate fortune with him. All was told
to Mr.. Peabody, and he, with that manll-
ness that characterized his every action,
gave her up, and In due time she was mar
rled. | we'll remember, when In London,
twenty-eight years ago, hearing all this
talked ever In chosen circle OF American
friends, and also at brilliant dinner party
given by General Cass, in Versailles, It wai
thoroughly discussed. Whether, In his
visit to this country, Mr.. Peabody ever mel
his once afiianced bride, cannot say. Aftei
several years Of welded bliss death took her
husband from her side.
