The depot of the Missisquoi & Clyde
River Railroad is located near the resi-
dence of Hon. William G. Elkins, in
North Troy, and work has commenced
upon the foundation. The building is
"a 10, which will give ample room
for the freight, express and custom de-
partments. The location is convenient
for the junction of the Midland and the
Richmond and Black River Railroad of
Canada.
Decoration Day was observed with
appropriate ceremonies at North Troy.
Capt. VIM. R. Rowell delivered the ora
ton in the Congregational Church, to as
large an audience as could be seated.
The address was listened to with interest,
being replete with historical facts and
war scenes, many Of which Capt. Row.

The Late Comm ~ der Maury.

No class of people are better able to appre-
ciate the services of the late Commander
Mathew Fontaine Maury. both to his own
country and to the world, than SEQ captains
and seafaring men. They have been recog-
nized not less by foreigners than by Ameri-
cans. We published on Friday resolutions
passed to that effect by the New York Chamber
of Commerce. On that occasion there was
only one dissenting voice. Mr.. Blunt objected,
forsooth, because Commander Maury joined
the Confederates, the people of his own Sec
ton, in the late civil war. The report Of the
proceedings says he denounced the course of
the deceased during the rebellion. Happily
there are not many as illiberal as MIR. Blunt.

Yhere are some people who always remind
one of pandemonium, they are so full of good
intentions. This similitude, however, is
scarcely applicable to the members of the
Societe Culinaire, who last Tuesday night
held their annual revelry at Irving Hall. All
accounts agree in pronouacing the affair the
very triumph of the turnspit For our part
we see no good reason why the Dutch oven
should not be apotheosized once in while.
This was an occasion when too many cooks
did not spoil the broth. Who was the emperor
that offered reward for the inventor of new
dish? Could his spirit have brooded over
the Irving Hall bill of fare last Tuesday even
ing he would have surveyed not one new
dish, but twenty, and his spiritual mouth
would have watered immitigably, yearning in
vain to be materialized, if but for the
moment. And why, we should like to know,
should not the chief cook of the Parker
House, Boston, or Of our own ms-
thetic Delmonico, not receive salary as large
as that of Harvard Professor? For whether
ting good things into our mouths, as every
first class cook does, or in taking good things
out OF the mouths of his contemporaries, as
Professor Fisk does when he deals out cpl
grams on cosmism and anticipates the fine
sayings of Lecky and Huxley? Common
sense may be termed the thumb of the soul,
which enables it to take good grip of things,
and common sense is what the first class cook
must possess in abundance His intellectual
thumb must be very big, indeed, in order
that his grasp may be lively and unrelaxing.
1t is the good cooks whom we see rushing to
the dance; and we, for one, rejoice that the
genii Of soups and sauces cross hands cor
daily once a year with Terpsichore. Dumas
was not ashamed TO proclaim that the last
literary act Of his life should be TO
compile O cook book. Do not success
full poets and novelists sometimes achieve
their truest triumphs before the kitchen
ranger Marian Harland has abandoned
romance and addressed herself to chops
and steaks, and Sarah j. Hale forsook the Cas-
Italian dew TO revel in gravies. "What is home
without mother2" asks the sentimentalist.
"What is home without a good cook?" is the
more practical question we PROFOUND. We
pay tribute to the sentiment, even in our
figures Of speech. II q delicate affair is well
managed we say that it was nicely cooked"
As society could not exist without good din
ners, so good dinners would be an impossi-
bility without good cooks. Consequently we
honor the French Cooks Ball, and, In passing,
take of our hat and make our little bow to it.

ism that resides in good dish than preach

The weather indications for falling tenn
perature over the Middle States are 80 strong
that for the present we may dismiss appre-
hension of the breaking up OF the Susquehanna
and other ice gorges. From the lower lakes
the cold northwesterly winds were all day
Yesterday pouring steady current of freezing
air over these States, and once more re-estab-
fishing the iron grip of the Frost King. 1t is
biohly probable that this morning all the
tributaries of the Susquehanna and those of
other seaboard streams finding an outlet in
the Atlantic ore greatly reduced in volume, SO
that the ice gorges will be for the next day or
two subjected to no extraordinary pressure.
To such endangered places as Port Deposit
this breathing time may be very short, as there
is no telling how soon another February thaw
may develop; indeed the river at that point
rose rap:aly yesterday, filing the streets of the
town and compelling the inhabitants to seek
for places Of safety. The dissolution Of the ices
may be 80 gradual that the danger may finally
pass away, but this result cannot be assured.
These monster ice gorges frequently occur in
the rivers of Russia, and their dreadful con-
sequences have been occasionally averted by
blowing them TO pieces with gunpowder. Why
cannot good engineers be found to remove the
ice dam in the Susquehanna and our other
rivers before il is too late2 little pluck
and little powder will doubtless do the work.

his recent lectures, very forcibly argued that
the first Atlantic cable, having no means OF
rsdiating its heat. probably rusted and was
literally burned up. However this may be,
the Pacific Ocean is certainly. with the single
exception of its volcanic bed, quite as
promising field for telegraphic undertakings
as the stormy Atlantic, whose basin is one OF
noted and remarkable erosions. OFF Newfound-
land icebergs, which may ground and
destroy the communication with Europe,
are constant source of peril at
one season of the year. But in the
North Pacific this danger would be
wholly unknown. Deep-sea researches have
yet to be made on q scale sufficient to be in
structive in the latter ocean, but no company
possessed of ample means and with the expe-
rience furnished by the history Of the Atlantic
telegraph need hesitate to commence tentative
operations By following the rim of the Ameri-
can and Asiatio Continents from Portland,
Oregon, touching at one of the Aleutian
Islands, the distance would be as short as
from San Francisco direct to Yokohama, and
the perils of laying the cable would be les

if lost, would be greater.
There can be no reasonable doubt of the
success of any well sustained and skilful effort
to lay Pacific cable, and it would rebound to
the infinite advantage of commerce and civil
zation. The public will watch with keen in
terest this new enterprise to bride Old Ocean.
In view of the prospective action of Congress
in authorizing one or more of our national
vessels to make the necessary soundings for
Pacific cable, it is not out of place to suggest
that the Juniata, now ready and under orders
for sea, should be sent for that purpose. She
is to be under the command of Commander
D. L. Braine, and no officer in the navy is
more competent to undertake this important
work.

The Proposed Pacific Cable.

The new proposition to unite America and
China by Geographic cable is one which must
greatly interest the whole country As q
mighty engine Of civilization the telegraph
has yet reaped but small portion of the
need Of renown which yet awaits it.
1t seems but yesterday when the first an
nouncement came of the final triumph and
successful working of the Atlantic cable at
Hearts Content But since that time the
service of deep-sea telegraphy has much i'm
proved, and the enterprise of Pacific cable
now would commence its labors with manifold
advantages.
Although no submarine wire has ever been
tested through distances as great as some
which o Pacific cable must overstretch, the
scientific elements Of the question preclude
any possibility of failure in the electrical
current The only problems of moment are
those which relate to the topography Of the
ocean bed-whether level, rough, gashed and
affect the safety and durability of the mystic
thread. We know but little as yet concerning
the agency Of deep-sea phenomena in disturb
ing the repose or frittering and chatting the
strands Of cables. 1t was supposed in 1858
that the fracture and loss of the Agamemnon' g
cable was only to be accounted for on the
supposition that the water in which she was
paying it out had suddenly Swallowed to a
considerable extent and that the vessel was, in
fact, passing over the summit Of some sub
marine Ben Nevis or Skiddaw. The previous
attempt TO lay the cable of 1857 had been de-
feated by q strong current taking the wire out
Of the hold too rapidly and forcing the engi-
neers to apply the brakes 1t will also be re-
membered that when the first cable was
cffectually laid and became so mysteriously
dumb the silence and death of the nerve that
had throbbed one message across the Atlantic
was attributed to defect in its insulation
and t. its wearing out Its life on the rocks Of
the sea t>ottom.
But thes.' suppositions should not be allowed
in any waysto' discourage new submarine cable
enterprises Experiment shows that the
rusting and burning Of metal are synono-
nous termss and Professor TyndalA in one Of
