the new Atlantic cable has been safely got on
board the steamship Fsraday. In few days
the necessary arrangements on board will be
completed and the vessel win sail for Valencia,
where she will begin TO pay out and proceed

other Atlantic cable is another bond of union
between the Old World and the New. As we
can scarcely have too many Atlantic steam

be very large and very strong, because in the
burning Of some Of our shining lights they

doubt if even boiler iron could stand tho
strain which would result from the incandes-
cence of some of our prominent men.
Then another point is to be observed. The
furnaces ought to be carefully swept after each
operation for ii would be eminently unfair to
mix in death those who would never mingle
in life. The spirit of millionaire would

Whenever o ring wished to use our Treasury
for political or personal gain there was q
Legislature always ready with q tax levy,
and Congress with an appropriation bill.
But when the just, moderate, natural and neces-

sidered, ECONOMY was necessary" and the
"people would not permit any new expendi-

SO, thanks to the Venerable Statesmen,
whose Legislature has just adjourned, we

Improvements but the unfinished Post Office

Beyond the Park we have section of the city

full and striking on the map, with public

Judge b. II. GOld'bOrOugh, nominated by the
republicans OF the first Maryland district yes
terday a. their candidate for Congress, has long
been prominent IN the politics of the state. He
was elected by the democrats a member of the
House OF Delegates in 1Sj7 and Of the Senate in
IN. In ls6j he wss elected controller OF the
treasury OF Maryland, and filed the Office with
great ability. He was elected judge OF the cir
cult court in 1s5f, and held that position uniI
the first election after the adoption of the pres
eDt constitution of the state. He was also the
republican candidate for controller al the last
election. He is an able speaker, and the contest
between him and Ex-Governor Thomas will
Doubtless be a lively one.

The report Of the Department of Agriculture
for AuguFt and September sets forth in regard to
the corn crop that none OF the large corn protuc
ing states reach average, while several of them
show = decline from even last years depressed
condition. The average state of the wheat
crop Of the United States Is two per cent Iess
than the average of September, 1873; but the
increased acreage will bring the yield up to
nearly average upon that OF last year. The re-
turns indicate fair crop of oats, pOtOtOes and
hay, but less than half a crop OF tobacco. The
september returns indicate heavy decline in
lie prospects Of the cotton crop In ali the states
except Virginia The large promise of fruit in
tie early spring, If not nipped in the bud, was
extensively nipped soon after the abundant
bloom by the late frOsts; AMI since then various
insects and widespread and protracted droughts
have eonspiIed TO still further dIsappOint early
expectations.

over the Irish team, though the contest was so
eiose, and the shooting 20 superior, that there
were honors enough for both sides. The irish
contestants, who have been victOrs st the
famous Wimbledon grounds as the champion
Iihemen OF the United Kingdom, say that they
never shot 20 well at CreedmOor, and that
they were fairly surpassed by the Americans
while doing better than their heretofore best
II will be Temem bered that the challenge was
kiven 10 the American ritiemen by the Irish
team one year ago, when the latter had just won
the ElchO Shield, the great prize at Wimble-
con. The challenge was accepted by the AmerI-
cans as q matter Of national "spUnk, though
10 tea IL OF organic alton OF Tifemen then existed
On this side Of the water. The hastily i'm
ITOyised American team has proved successful,
however, and as the members are by no means
representative men of the sharp shooters OF she
country az large, more particularly OF the
West, where the rife is most in use, it is
supposed that q still stronger representation
Of national marksmen can be gathered for any
-UcceedIDg international contest. The style OF
shOoung, however, does not seem adapted for
service in actual warfare. For instance, the
crack shot OF the American party, Mr. Fulton,
In taking position, stretches himself at length
uIOn his back, crosses his legs, places the butt
OF his rife over his right shoulder, while the
barrel rests In the formed by his crossed legs,
and the left hand il passed behind the neck,
grasping the heel Of the butt, holding 1t firmly
against the cheek, while the right hand is en-
Iloyed to pull the trigger. Dir. Miner, one OF
tie Irish team, shoots while lying on his back
with the butt OF his rife resting in the holloT
OF Lis shoulder, while the barrel rests on his
tee. In order 70 enable him TO take aim s'ths
back sight OF the rifle is placed near the heel
Plate" and though making very good shots, he
Il uLceT the disadvantage Of being able to see
only one object, and as a consequence he some
times throws away shot by mistsking the tar
get. Most Of the Tihemen on both sides Occu-
ped positions while shooting OF this complicated
aid doubled mp character, and it is pretty evil
dent II tEey undertook 10 shoot while ON their
backs, il this way, in actual warfare, they would
Il very apt to be gOboled up by the enemy
