Tufleries, ss proof 81 the actual working con-
dition OF the line. The delay, in splicing on
yuIy1a; il is reported, was owing to the shore

made it necessary tS grapple for the cable.
Thelayipg Of the seven hundred miles from

on July, L.. It is asserted that the messages
received from Ryest show, that the French
cable is superior to any other heretofore laid.

IS. Justas the journey across our continent
has been made brief by the completion OF the
Pacific Railroad; q new enterprise has been
undertaken to shorten the distance aroundit.
Marshall o. Roberts, Of New York, is at the
head OF company incorporated by the Yer
mont Legislature and holding4 grant from the
Mexican Government, for the building OF a
railroad across the Isthmus ofTehuantepec.
The Atlantic terminus OF the proposed railroad
is Mipatitlkn, river town twenty miles from
the Gull Of Mexico. easily accessible to sea-
going steamers at all tides, from which point
twin run due south to the Pacific, making
that water at the port fventosa, one hundred
and sixty.two miles distant. The construction
OF the road does not involve many difficulties,
the extreme elevation being only 1913 feet, and
ten substantial truss bridges required. DIR.
Roberts has just signed forfeiture bond OF
$1O0,O 600 for the construction OF carriage road
and a telegraph line along the route within
eighteen months. The railroad itself is to be
commenced within two years aud. finished
within three years more. The total amount OF
cspitsl required for the undertaking is %, ,9OO.-
600.
The money in the New York Sub Treasury
has recently been counted by sixty-six e1-
pert accountants. The work commenced on
the 18th ult. and continued eIeyea days. hfter
the greenbacks, to the amount OF over $50, ,000,-
600, had been twice counted, and the total had
been found to tally exactly with the figures
given by Mr.. Van Dyck, the bags of gold and
silver were attacked, the seals broken, the
sewing ripped open, and The contents poured
out on the iron floor. Then fifty small streams

Nearly $40 100000 in gold and $500, 900 IN sill

:seued up and sealed. Then IS 600 00o in shin
ing gold bars were weighed, counted and
packed away, and on Saturday morning the
tired accountants stood on their feet, stretched
their backs, rabbed their eyes. folded their
busters, and like the Arabs. noiselessIy stole
away. It was found that Uncle Samuel had in
his Golfers in New York one hundred and two
