The cable monopoly seems at last to be
cornered." At the recent session of the
Canadian Pa lament bill was passed which,
in effect, breaks up the monopoly and COM
pels tbs Anglo American Cable Company
either to abandon BUSINESS altogether or to
give up their exclusive privilege of landing
cables on the coasts of Newfoundland Be-
fore this bill becomes law, the royal assent is
necessary, and the monopolists are now en-
deavoring to get it vetoed Their chance is
very slim, however, for it is among the rarest
occurrences tor a bill to be vetoed by Brit
ish monarch, and it is quite improbable that
such a course will be pursued in this instance.
The matter rests with Lord Carnarvon, Secrs
tary OF State for the Colonial Department in
the British Ministry, and he is not likely to
recommend royal interposition to prevent
the passage of a law which all the world, and
especially England, approves. The London
newspapers express a confident belief in the
royal assent being given, SO that the bill will
become law and the monopoly cease.

An Absurd Book.

The following is an extract from what Is
probably the most preposterous book ever
written by an American woman: my Sum-
mer at Chappaqua," by Miss Cecilia .Cleve-
land, Horace Greeley's niece. In the follow
ing words the authoress describes herself:
''Celina's hight scarce reaches to Guerra
bella's Gabrielle Greeley )shoulder; her figure
is fragile and dainty; and though her cheek
lacks bloom, the lines are soft and graceful,
and the face pensive and poetic. The mouth
is small and well curved, and the air of re-
pose that rests upon the imaginative brow,
resembles the Muse of Meditation. The Sc,
renity that is uniformly spread over her unique
countenance is in strong contrast to the ami
mateo, vivacious features of her cousin. Ce-
linas head is fashioned after classic model,
and the mass of amber. hued hair which
crowns it, might be taken for an aureola.
Her pansy-l.ke eyes are full of sweet, poetic
vison. 20. 'Tissa melodic countenance,
foreshadowing that dream world from
which our young heroine has never
tor a moment awakened. Too petite, some
might deem her, for womanly perfection but
physical symmetry, ease, and dignified bear
ing elevate the fairy figure to the true STAN
dard. She moved with an airy grace, and
nothing earthly is lighter than her football.
Her small, delicate hands grace the keyboard
and music in her has an enchanting interpre-
ter. -. And how shall we vest our
mignonne-Celina? Gossamer tissues, fabrics
of airy texture, magic web for the daintiest
lady in our land. No colors of human invsn-
ton; their dyes would oppress her. White,
with gleam OF moonlight upon it; a reAee-
ton of the aura of her hair, or the first pale
beams Of the morning. Other gems would l
not but these wondrous starlike eyes, to light
up face radiantwith though: and sensibility.o
The Literary World justly reioices 'that
Horace Greeley is spared the pain and cha
grin of reading this book, in which his re-
spected name is made to serve as the war
rant and occasion OF such ineffable twaddle."
