The ocean cable.

The Great Este m is more thn three
fourths across the ocean, on her voyage
with the new Atlantic cable. Every
thing is going on we'll So far, there has
been but single imperiection discovered
in this cable. That was promptly rene
died, and the great vessel steamed on
with her precious cargo.
This cable will have its landing on the
American shore on the island Of st.
Pierre or ST. Peters, just southwark Of
of Newfoundland. Thence it will BE OK
tended, still on the bottom OF the ocean.
TO Roxbury, Massachusetts,. 1t would
seem that the cable now being laid, would
have moro certainty of uninterrupted
communication with Earopo, than the old
cable. The difficulties of that line are
chiefly in the wilderness of Newfound-
land, on the hither side of Trinity Bay,
and in the wilderness Of Nova Scotia
that i, on the land connection of the line.
These are avoided by the cable from St.
Pierre island to Roxbury. The world
will have reason to rejoice if the latter
part of the Great Eastern's voyage shall
be as successful as it has been thus far.

oath he sprang upon me, missed his foot

bony fingers he clutched at the gutter
and there he hung suspended. 1t was
terrible to see him thus; and knowing, as
did, that il was his life against mine, i
could not sit there and see him go 10 de-
struction. I reached out my hand and
drew him back to safety. Thus did he
repay me. Dashing upon me he seized
me once more, and dragged me to the
