For sixteen years one ragiIe but resoIute
woman, Miss Cunningham, has given her
rare energies, assisted by other noble wo-
men, to the task Of preserving the home OF
Washington as a national shrine. When
Mount Vernon was offered for sale by the
nephew of Washington she read the adj
vertisement, and, though Frustrated at the
time by spinal disease, her Indignation
stimulated her to make earnest individual
and public appeals to her countrymen to
save this hallowed spot from the desecra-
ton of sale. Among the noble responses
was that of Edward Everett, who raised
$4,000 by his public lectures, and by such
means the work was accomplished Dur
ing the war Miss Cunningham took up her
residence at Mount Vernon, where she still
resides to oversee the repairs and improve
ments necessary to maintain the estate.
Her services have been rendered without
any compensation, and that her administra-
ton has been rigidly economical is shown
by the fact that all the expenses, including
Inequalities TO distinguished strangers.
have been restricted, as is shown by the re-
prot presented to the last annual meeting
Of the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association,
to 1858 Sc wear.

q New Atlantic aNnhEn

While the surface of the great Western
ocean is being made active with British
slow, but sure enterprise, the great depths
Of the waters are no less marked by similar
energy. In addition to the present three
marine cables, a fourth is in course Of rapid
construction and embarkation on board the
Great Eastern. This new cable is dupIl-
cate of the French one, and is to have its
termini at Lands End and Halifax. Its
main length will be 5000 miles, and will
cost less the laying down, 81 100000 and
upward. 1t is being placed on board the
Great Eastern in lengths of $50 mile coils.
Already large portion is on board, and
early the coming year it is contemplated to
put it in use. The experience Of the past
has given some important lessons On the
construction of this cable, and every ap-
proved new feature that has been submit
ted by electrician engineers has met inves-
tigation and adoption. The machinery for
the submerging and laying down is also i'm
proved, and marine cable laying is now
thing of ease and energy only. The Lon
don Telegraphic Construction and Mantle
lance Company, with their immense CAPT
tai and net profits of last year, amounting
to &ll5,5GO, and having monopoly, find it
very easy thing to lay AngIo-AmeIican
cables and reap the lions share of the bene-
fits. The next thing expected is the reduc-
ton in the rate of messages. This is ex-
pected, as the example of Rowland Hill and
cheap postage is looked upon as quite APP
plicable to telegraphic messages across the
Atlantic Will mOnOpOlists see this 3

DIR. Stevens, French physician saw a
butcher killing pig. He observed that he
stirred the blood Of the animal, added a
handful Of common salt to it while stirring,
which Immediately made it crimson, and
the stirring being discontinued remained
fluid. The change of color awakened his
curiosity, The butcher could give no ex
PLANTATION of the phenomena, except that it
kept i from iellying and spelling. DR..
Stevens seized a vessel, caught some blood,
and made several experiments by putting
salt into it, and found that the BLACKLIST
blood was changed instantly TO bright
vermilion by salt. "And, said he, .'here is
fact that may lead to q practical rule"
he had observed in cases of yellow fever in
the army, that the blood drawn was very
black and fluid, and, on adding salt, it be-
came Vermilion and retained irs freshness;
whereas putridity of blood is one of the
characteristics Of yellow fever. He there
fore abandoned the usual mode of treating
it, and gave his patients mixture Of
various salts, and in short time reduced
the mortality of fever in the West Indies
from one in five to one in fifty.

and this rate sunk margins out of sight.
Now there is margin for shipment be-
tween this city and Liverpool, provided the
river rate could be placed at, say twelve
cents per bushel to New Orleans.

One who attended the funeral of Fanny

While prisoner on board one of the
French galleys, every means was used, in
prisoners to renounce their religion. One
day fine painted image of the Virgin was
brought on board, and presented to the
Scotch prisoner to kiss. He desired the
bearer not to trouble him, for such idols
were acoursed, and he would not touch it.
The officers roughly replied that he should,
put it to his face, and thrust it into his
hands. Upon this he took hold OF the
image, and, watching his opportunity,
threw it into the river, saying, " Let our
lady save herself she is LIGHT eneuch; lat
her learn to swim"

Nice Young Men The Louisville Courier
Journal saws OF Miss Logan and this sub
ject:
Miss Olive Logan delivered her lecture
on Girls last night Her appearance was
rather stylish, her toilet unexceptionable,
and her manner easy and graceful. The
intonaton of her voice was pleasant. her
English good, and her delivery natural and
at times conversational. Under the general
title of Girls Miss Logan gave us the
dear creatures in every style, and drew
some very graph; and clever sketches OF
them. The matter of her lecture, so far as
its descriptive element and moral tone
went. was good, and at times witty, digrcs-
siyc, colloquial and pathetic.
The large and fashionable audience present
sigDiiied their appreciation by frequent ap-
plause. The novelty of seeing woman

ment at the spectacle ; one old gentleman

THE CITY HALL.

The Mayor is making some investigations
in regard to the manner in which inquests
are held, and yesterday had under consid-
Grafton case which came before Coroner
jackson on the sixteenth of December last.
1t certainly does appear to be involved in
some mystery, but so far there is nothing
in the testimony justifying the Mayors
somewhat hasty conclusion that the city
has been defrauded. If there is an irregu-
larity attending the holding of an inquest,
or any evidence of neglect Oh the part of
the coroner the matter is properly referable
to the Council, who will determine whether
or not the coroner is entitled to his fees in
that particular case.
The Administrator of Finance reports
that the receipts for licenses are larger this
than any previous year. At the present
time the collections amount to S34l,6l9.
Nor is this regarded as any way near the
sum due. There is probability that much
head in collections will yet be made. There
have been but very few settlements with
business men.
1t was understood some time since that
the inmates of the Boys House of Refuge
were to be removed to the Girod Asylum.
Up to the present time the removal has not
taken place. AS the boys are very uncom
Portable where they are, some action be
taken in the premises.
The Administrator of Accounts announces
that the city tax bills will soon be ready for
collection. A large clerical force is engaged
in preparing them.
The certificates of Indebtedness with
which the city employees are paid appear
destined never to reach their par value.
The street commissioner Is getting all of
his roads again in good order. The con.
tinual rains renders the work slow and diff
ticult
