A New American Ocean Gable.

Captain 8. b. Thompson and MIR. s.
+. Van Choate, engineer, the authorized
agents of the American Gable Company,
have just arrived in Paris from Lisbon,
having secured from the Portuguese Gov
eminent the privilege Of landing and
operating an ocean cable ON the Azore
Islands. The company is purely Ameri-
can. Its cables arc to proceed direct
from New York, without intervening
land lines, to the Azores; thence in q
direct lice through the English Channel
to point near Brighton, England, and
thence with two lateral branches, one
landing at point near Havre, France,
nearly opposite Brighton, and the other
at a point on the coast of Holland, near
the Hague. 1t will be observed by this
plan that the object is to tap the great
business centers, such as London, Paris,
and the principal cities Of Europe, whose
terminal lines concentrate at the Hague,
at points as near as may be in their I'M.
mediate vicinity, instead as in the case Of
existing cables, of having long intermedi-
ate land connections. The advantages of
this plan are obvious. First, messages
can thus be transmitted with more certain
ty and dispatch second, the company
will not be compelled to pay so large a
proportion of its tariff to such land lines,
and, therefore, can with profit reduce its
rates to point lower than can possibly
be done by existing cable companies.
The American Gable Company has also
obtained the exclusive right to late and
important inventions for insulating and
operating cables, by means Of which it
will be enabled to transmit over single
wire as many messages in a given time as
can be done on two wires by the galvano-
meter system, as now employed. 1t is
working under the act of Congress as we'll
as under the laws of the State Of New
York, and on the reciprocity principle.
Part of its stock has been subscribed for
and fully paid up in cash; the balance
will be disposed of as required during the
construction of the cable, which will
probably be laid during the present year
No publicity has been hitherto given,
for obvious reasons, to the plans and pur-
poses of this company through the public
journals.-Paris Correspondence.

which is given verbatim report;

1t is to be supposed that editors, like
all other classes Of men, are liable
to insanity. The cases which have actu-
ally occurred have been very rare, but the
possibility remains. After reading recent
issues Of the Waterman, we find it i'm.
possible to dispcl all apprehensions as to
the mental condition of the writer's, es-
pecially those writing on the subject of
Woman Suffrage" There is at least a
sad decentralization. Smarting under a
sense of personal chastisement by one of
the speakers of the Montpelier Conven.
ton, the editor devotes two full columns
to an attempt to prove that some of the
advocates of the reform hold lax views of
the marriage relation, indicated by their
advocacy of easy divorce. Besides more
of the same sort is threatened. This
proposition is not of sufficient Importance
to either admit or deny, SO far as it con.
Germs the merits of the argument for or
against woman suffrage. We apprehend
that it would not be a difficult matter to
affirm, and prove too, that some of the
opposers of woman suffrage, hold lax
views of the marriage relation and pos
sibly practice on them. But it is diff.
cult to see how that point, when estab.
lished, would bear upon the main ques-
ton. Hence we leave that kind of ar
gument for the Waterman. For the dig
nifty of journalism we regret that our
contemporary has resorted to this Brick
Pomeroy" style of meeting an opponent in
argument. But the confession it makes
BY this resort, is quite as valuable to the
cause of the reform as an argument in its
favor. But one conclusion can be ar
rived at. When journal of the ability
and usual dignity of the Watchman is so
hard pushed for argument to sustain its
positions as to be compelled to resort to
such questionable means, its position
must be regarded as untenable.

in the Senate chamber by blows from the
cane Of Preston 8. Brooks Of South Osro-
lima, that Mr. Burlingame, from his seat
in the house on The following day, de.
nounced the act as cowArdly in such
scathing farms as to call forth from
Brooks challenge to Burlineame, offer
ing to fight him "or any other Yankee
mudsill." Tho challenge was accepted,
rifles named as weapons and the vicinity
of the Clifton House, Canada, named as
the place Of combat. But, though the
Massachusetts man was on hand at the
time and place specified, the fight never
occurred, Brooks concealing his cowardice
behind the excuse that he dare not 20 to
Canada, as in doing SO he would have to
pass through hostile country.
He labored arduously on the stump in
the campaigns of 1856 and 1860 for the
election first of Fremont and then Of Lin
coin to the Presidency, and SO great was
his argumentative powers that it is con.
ceded he did more than any other man
for the success Of the party in these cam
paigns. His services were recognized by
Mr.. Lincoln by an appointment as Minis
ter to the Court Of Austria, but while on
the committee Of foreign affairs, in Con.
gress, during the Italian war, he had ex-
pressed himself 30 decidedly in favor of
Sardinia, as to win the enmity of the Au-
strian government, and Francis Joseph re-
fused to accept him Us minister to his
court. Returning home he was rendered
the Chinese mission by President Lincoln
which be accepted and held until early in
1868, when he resigned, to accept from
the Chinese government the mission to
the Western powers. This mission he
had carried out with eminent satisfaction
to the sovereign of the Celestials and the
governments with which he had treated,
though not without much opposition on
the part of some of those in Europe. His
mission to Russia, the one he designed as
the browning effort of his labors for China
he had just entered upon when called to
the presence of the Higher Court above.
His loss is one to be felt by ever Ameri-
can, for he had already done much for
the nation, and at the conclusion Of his
present labors had determined to settle on
an estate recently purchased by him in
California, whence he would undoubtedly
have emerged to again take high rank in
the forum and in Legislative halls. His
death is an irreparable loss to China, as
it can hardly be expected that that gov
eminent will find man competent to
complete the work which Mr.. Burlingame
had 80 we'll commenced and carried so
near the end.--Herald.

Chesapeake and Ohio R.R.
Enterprise.

Prominent among the great works Of
in ternal improvement now under con.
struction must be ranked the extension
Of the Chesapeake Il Ohio Railroad from
its present terminus at the celebrated
White Sulphur Springs Of West Virginia,
to the Ohio River, at point Of most
favorable navigation. Independently Of
similar amount Of private capital, the
State Of Virginia expended upward Of
S5,0O0,000 before the war in aiding this
great line, 80 as to establish short, easy,
and economical line of communication be-
tween her unrivalled harbor and the
Western railroad and water lines. Nearly
two-thirds Of the necessary expenditure
has been made; and under the auspices
of some eminent New York railroad
builders and capitalists, the road is soon
to be completed.
By this line, the distance between the
great cities of the Ohio and Mississippi
Valleys and reliable ocean navigation will
be reduced, and at the same time superior
grades obtained for the transportation Of
Western products to the seaboard. The
Kanawha Vally, through which the road
passes, abounds in superior camel and
splnt coal. A hundred miles east, aud
less than hundred miles west also near
the line of the road, are vast deposits of
iron ores, which specially need the latter
coal for the production of perfect metal.

Death Of Hon. Arson BurIingame.

The country was startled on Wednes.
day afternoon by the reception of cable
telegram, announcing the death in St.
Petersburgh the day previous of Hon.
Anson Burlingame, late American min.
lister to China, and at the time of his
death Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary from the Flower King
dom to the Western Powers, with author.
ity to execute commercial treaties between
them and the hitherto partially insulated
Empire Of which he was the representa-.
tive.
Mr.. Burlingame was born in New Ber-
lin, Chenango County, New York. Nov
IA, 1922, and consequently was at the
time of his death but a little over At
years Of age, young indeed for one who
had developed already statesman-like
abilities and diplomatic talents to make
him the eompeer of the ablest diplomats
of Europe and America. His parents re-
moved to Ohio when he was quite young,
and young Burlingame spent his earlier
years with surveying parties on the 'front.'
Ter, and in treating with the Indians.
He prepared for College in Ohio, aud
graduated at Harvard in 1886. After
graduation he studied law and in lS4S
commenced its practice in Boston. The
same year he turned his attention to
politics, and four years thereafter attain
ed to seat in the Massachusetts, Senate.
He embraced the doctrines Of the Ma
tive American party, before that organ
ization became corrupt with narrow
minded bigotry and prejudice, and rising
with it, was elected a member of the 34th
Congress, and reelected by the Republi-
cans to the 18th and Seth Congresses.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET,

The wool market is very firm at the late i'm

there are more buyers than sellers of desirable
grades at current rates. In fact, some holders.
who have lately been operating In the West, and
other outside markets. are not Offering their stock
except at figures which consumers are not vet
willing to give The former, however, arc conf.
dent that the latter will come up to the mark be-
fore the end or the season.
In some cases, the advance asked has operated to
check tho demand but manufacturers are
anxious to secure liberal supplies of old WOOL and
hence are ready to take all that can be picked up
at reasonable figures. But sellers RELY upon the
well-ascertained paucity Of stocks in ALI the mar
