Attracting Attention.

IT is way some people have, and they

they can be a central point in room, the

attention is given, and who attract all re-

neglect they cannot endure their ego

foul; they must do or say something to
startle the surrounding world into eager
observation, and so bring themselves to
the front. They are not In the least de-
gree particular as to their method.
When they cannot attract attention by
supremacy in grace, in beauty, in wit,
they manage to do SO by exaggeration
by outrageOusness in dress, by audacity
of speech, by insolence, or eccentricity OF
bearing: they are satisfied If their bizar-
rerie attracts; and they are not over-criti'

them. They never see the covert satire

Decadence OF the Prize Ring.

AND now even Lord O'Baldwi the
gigantic smasher, has set his face sternly
against the prize ring. 1t is too vile a
thing 10 receive his support. He has
given it patient trial, and at last is forced
to throw up his hands with an exclama-
ton of disgust. O'Baldwin has suffered
much for his profession since coming to
America. He has borne Imprisonment
like martyr, but the jail terrors could
not drive him from his high and holy
mission. He cared not for prison bars so
long as his friends rallied around him In
the brief days of his liberty, and dapplauded
him as heroic representative of he man.
ly art of selEdefense. But when these
friends turned against him, and with
cowardly blows struck him down in a
ring where a rude kind of chivalry and
physical manhood were presumed to go
hand i'm hand, the proud heart of O'Bald-
win was touched, and he resolved to suffer
martyrdom no more. From the Jail at
Steubenville the Irish pugilist sends forth
a manifesto closing with these pOrtentous
words ''Since prize-fighting no longer
deserves the name, and the question at is
sue is not who is the best man, but wnere
he was born, and if his nativity does not
suit, what other means can be adopted,
even to murder, If necessary, to prevent
his defeat l abandon forever the prize
ring to such men as Riley, Geohegan and
their cowardly tools" This is sad, and
vet it Is cheering. Sad for the reason that
o Baldwin should have wasted so much
of vigorous life in cause which he Is
forced to confess is without manhood or
honor; and cheering because the retire
ment of the Irish giant from the ring
gives rise to the hope that prize-fghting
has seen its best days in America. When
the ring becomes so low as to be branded
as the synonym of thievery and cowardict
by professional bruiser like O'Baldwin
then let us trust it is indeed past redemp
ton. Having retired from the:ring In dis
gust. we are little bit curious to learI
how Lord O'Baldwin proposes to MAKE
himself useful. Will he carry a hod, Of
run gin mill ?-Tlu.f, Field and Farm.

Activity Of the Mind In Sleep.

Undoubted proof has been afforded that
the energy Of the intellect Is sometimes
greater during sleep than at other times,
and many problem, 1t Is asserted, has
been solved in sleep which has puzzled
the waking sense. Cabanis tells US that
Franklin on several occasions mentioned
to him that he had been assisted In dreams
in the conduct of many affairs 1t which he
was engaged. Condillac states that while
writing his Course of Studies he was fre-
quently obliged to leave chapter incom-
plete and retire to bed, and that on awak-
ing he found it, on more than one occa-
sion. finished In his head. In like manner
Condorcet would sometimes leave bis
complicated calculations unfinished, and
after retiring to rest would find their re-
suits uniolded to him in his dreams. La
Fontaine and Voltaire both composed
verses in their sleep, which they could re-
peat on awaking. DIR. johnson relates
that he once in dream had q contest Of
wit with some other person, and that he
was very much mortified by imag ming
that his antagonist had the better OF him:
Coleridge In dream composed the wild
and beautiful poem of Kubla Khan, which
had been suggested to him by Q passage
he had read in Purchas's Pilgrimage be-
fore he fell asleep. On awaking he had 2
distinct recollection of between 200 and 300
| lines, and, taking writing materials. began
eagerly to set them down. Unfortunately y
he was interrupted before a quarter OF the
task was done-was called away to attend
to some business which detained him an
hour-and found when he returned TO his
writing that the remsinder had vanished
from his memory. The most remarkable
testimony of this kind Is perhaps that Q
Sir Thomas Browne, who declared that
IL 1t were possible, he would prefer Y
carry on his studies In his dreams, 81
much more efficient were his faculties Q

further adds that were his memory a
faithful as bis reason is then fruitful, h
would prefer that season for his devotions

Beauty Of Old People.

MEN and women make their own beau
ty or their own ugliness. Lord Lytton
speaks in one of bis novels of man
"who was uglier than he had any busi-
ness to be :" and If he could but read 1t,
every human being carries his life in his
face, and IS good.lOoking or the reverse as
that life has been good or evil. On our
features the fine chisel of thought and
emotion are eternally at work. Beauty Is
not the monopoly of blooming ycung
men and of white-and-pink maidens.
There is slow growing beauty that only
comes to perfection In old age. Grace be-
longs to no period of life, and goodness
improves the longer it exists. We have
seen sweeter smiles from lip Of seventy
than upon lip of seventeen. There is
the beauty Of youth and the beauty OF
holiness-a beauty much more seldom
met, and more frequently found IN the
armchair by the fire with grandchildren
around his knee, than in the ballroom OF
promenade. Husband and wife, who
have fought the world side by side, VINO

The Disabled Cable.

THE late tidings of the silence of the
Atlantic cable of 1865, while causing tenn
porary uneasiness, ought to raise no fear
for its ultimate restoration. 1t may be
there are vet some vital lessons for the
scientific world to learn before our great
transoceanic telegraphs are secured from
interruption; but every ray of light that
has been brought to bear on the feasibility
of long cables Is cheering. When the cable
of 1866 was laid, it was only after it had
been subjected to crucial tests and proved
to be many times more perfect than had
been required. Sir William Thomson and
Mr.. Varley, who represented the Atlantic
Company, and tested the mighty f1rand
as it lay coiled in the Great Eastern, re-
ported that the current of electricity pass
ed through it so fully that, "of one thou
sand parts over nine hundred and ninety
nine came out at the other end" The
galyanometer enabled its inventor, Pro-
| fassor Thomson. to detect the slightest
| flaw in the cable or fault in the current.
and when the first monitiOn came that the
Gu rent was not flowing freely, the spot
| in deep ocean where the injured or defect
| i've piece Law was instantly fixed upon.
| On this occasion, and subsequently, when
a piece of wire not longer than a needle
was found to have been driven through
the outer cover, and as when nail driven
into the North Sea cable had destroyed III
insulation, the mischief was traced to hu
man hands. During the Great Eastern'i
voyage from Valentia, Bay exquisitely sen

A Remarkable Slander Suit.

A REMARKABLE slander suit brought to
recover $500 900 damages Is now in pro-
gress in Lexington, KY. In September.
1871, Jacob and Betsy Harper, brother
and sister of old John Harper, the famous
racing man, were brutally murdered In
Georgetown, fourteen miles from Lex
ington. and rumors gained currency that
one Adam Harper, a nephew of theirs,
was implicated in the crime. Adam Har-
per accuses another member of the fami-
ly, J. Wallace Harper, ofbeing the author
of these reports, and it Is against him
that Adam has brought this SANDER suit
There are two counts in the petition for
damages, and to both of them the defend
ant sets up denial, though he declares
that he is still constrained to believe the
prosecutor guilty, and shall so continue
to believe until the latter proves to the
contrary. The plaintiff has already pro-
duced a cloud of witnesses who have tes-
titled in the strongest terms to his IRE
proachable character; while for the de-
fense another cloud of witnesses have
borne equally emphatic testimony to his
general worthlessnesS. But in addition
to the evidence regarding character, tes-
timony has been ELECTED which shows
that the plaintiff in the case was very per-
sistent in his attempts to foist the guilt
of the murder on inn" cent negroes. II
is said that Betsy and Jacob Harper were
worth several hundred thousand dollars
and that although there were money anc
valuables in the house when the murtel
was committed neither was touched
while the wills of Jacob, Betsy, and Johr
were stolen. Adam is one of four neph
ews who would have been the heirs of th'
old people in case of their dying intestate
and it is asserted that his name had beei
omitted from the missing wills.-N. y
