mics of the North dgribg late skstty
who are backed by alaEge array OF stock
holders. The longest section OF the
cable is that from Brest to st. Pierre,
1895 miles; the shorter one, from st..
Pierre to the coast of Massachusetts,, will
be 1872 miles long, The sections of the
cable between Brest, st. Pierre and Bos-
ton. are six in number, and it needs six
splicings between these points.
This island, hitherto an Insignificant
point, has become conspicuous by the
success of the cable. South of New
foundland are three small islands owned
by France in the interest of the abund-
ant fisheries in their neighborhood.
These islands are st. Pierre and the two
Miguelons, and they contain altogether
about 100 square miles, and few thon-
sand inhabitants, who export annually
about s, 5000, 600 francs worth, importing

pally to the extent OF q little less than
8,C00,000 francs. The islands are the
sole remains of French possessions in
Northern America, and date their owner
ship from an early period of colonial
ton. When Newfoundland was sur
rendered to the Government Of Queen
Anne, they were nevertheless retained
by France.
Rouse's Hummock, at the town of
Duxbury, in Massachusetts, aud near
the Garnet Light of Plymouth harbor,
will be the American end of the cable
The Massachusetts Legislature have
chartered company to carry line out
beyond the jurisdiction of the United
States and splice it with the French
cable, in order to avoid any difficulty
growing out of the constitution of the
United States law with reference to this
subject. Duxbury, where the cable will
have an office, was once q ship-building
port of promise, but, like Plymouth and
Salem, has passed into decay CONNER
cially.

The ex-President of the Royal Astro-

readers by drawing the conclusion. in q
new essay, that the length of our day
has been certainly increasing;' that "the
length of the day may be expected ulti-
mately to become a yedrl" However,
ones nerves become steady again when
the estimate of the increase proves to be
an increase of ak seconds in the course
OF million OF years. AS Mr.. Pritchard

The DIRECT LAND TAX AT THE SOUTH.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald telegraphs under date
of the 14th:
There is some talk Of enforcing the col
lection of the direct land tax in the
South. The Southern States share of
this tax-which amounted to $40, 900, 900
among all the States-was Sc, 600, 900; of
this sum only about 100000 has been
paid into the Treasury from the South
ern States. It will be remembered that
when this amount had been collected,
President johnson sent message to
Congress, setting forth that in view of the
poverty produced in the South by tbs
war it would ia many instances be ruin
ous to that section to enforce the collec-
tion OF the tax at that time, and recon-
mending that it be suspended for some
time, SO AS to allow the industrial inte-
rests of the South to recuperate It is
stated that the limit of the suspension
fixed by Congress has now passed, and
the law providing for the levying and
collection OF the tax comes into full
force again. It is argued by those who
urge this proceeding that the indus
trious of the South have greatly i'm
proved in the interim, that the crops are
abundant and that there is no longer any
excuse for delay on the score of poverty

Bank for Savings in New York, and while
one ofthem engaged the attention of the
officer In charge, the other secretly pick

NEWSPAPkR WHITING. rev imagine
the labors of newspaper writer, says
the Wilmington Star, and fewer still are
anxious to bestow praise where it is due,
or to withhold censure where it would
be proper to so do. Many gentlemen OF
leisure, unable themselves to pen gram
matical phrase, are quito ready to criti-
else unsparingly, and to acidulate their
critical remarks with scorn that reflects
little credit on their heart and less on
their head.
He who writes for daily paper must
often form opinions without time for re-
Election, and write paragraphs without
the opportunity of revision. He must
frequently write of that which he only
partially understands, and must equally
often eject from his mind articles that
haste constructed, and correction would
improve.
In truth. often his labors are exposed
to the merciless criticism of those who
too willingly censure without regard to
propriety, and too eagerly deny credit
without respect to justice.
When it is remembered the press gen
orally relies on report for its informa-
tion, it can scarcely be supposed that its
authority should always be beyond the
imputation OF incorrectness, or its judg-
ment always prove unerring.
When it is borne in mind the writer OF
newspaper articles has few minutes for
reflection, none for revision, but little
opportunity to arouse latent powers, and
but small compass to display acquire.

supposed that he should never fail, where
failure is imminent. and success unat.
tended with praise or accompanied with
credit
And when one dwells on the magni.
tude of his labors, and reviews the vari-
ETY. of subjects of which he must treat, ii
is not startling that he occasionally com
mits errors which are rarely forgiven,
and fails to attain that standard which
may relieve him from censure; but not
entitle him to the encomia of the gene
rous, and barely shields him from the
sneers of the cynical.
