A SAaACIoUs DoG.-The Portland
(Me.) Advertiser reports that as gentle-
man was walking down Temple street, in
that city, on Monday, he dropped one Of
his mittens down grating by the Adams
House, and as it was an old one he thought
he would leave it, and walked along. In q
moment he felt the cold nose of a dog
touch his hand. and looking down saw
Newfoundland dog looking up in his face.
Paying no attention he passed along, but
had not proceeded far when the dog touched
him again. A third time this was repeated,
when hackman sang out, "You've lost
something and that dog wants you to 60
and get it." The gentleman retraced his
steps, recovered his mitten, and the dog
was satisfied.

Bury the Telegraph Lines.

The New York Herald has the
following timely article:
A mountain cable, similar to
that which spans the Atlantic,
only smaller, iflaid along the line
of the Pacific Railroad, in lieu of
the present suspended wire, would
never be in danger of breaking
from sleet-lOads or snow-drifts,
and we might depend upon it in
all weather for regular intelli-
gence from California. In case of
railroad train being blockaded
by snow, the conductor could
easily attach an instrument to the
cable and communicate with the
nearest station, instead of being,
as now, lett with wires broken
and poles down, entirely cut off
from succOr. Professor Silliman,
in a re- ent letter, states that if
such snow cables as we propose
are laid in insulatOry material,
proof against natural agencies of
destruction, the "electric leak
age" will be very small-so much
smaller than can possibly be the
case with wires suspended in the
air as to effect'great saving to the
telegraph companies. The bust
ness interests of the whole cOun-
try-the press, the railroads, the
government offices, especially the
Weather Rureau. and also the
telegraph companies-suffer SO
much from the present defective
Geographic communication with
the Pacific that our telegraph
engineers and electricians may
we'll bestir themselves to carry
out such suggestion as we now
make.
