The New Atlantic Cable.

london (4ay = Correspondence of the
NeU York Herald.
This '1orning in response to an invita-
ton from DIR. c. w. Siemens and Mr.. Carl
Siemens. left Charlng Cross by special
train at IL o'clock, my destination Icing
the works of Siemens Brothers on the riv-
er side, midway between Charlton and
Woolwich, and my object being to inspect
the telegraph works and the cable ship
Faraday, which starts next week for the
purpose Of laying the new cable just manu-
featured for the Direct United States Ca
BILE Company. Of this company, the stock
Of which Is held by English, French, Ger
mans and Belgians, Mr. Lushing.on is
Chairman aud Mr.. George Won Chauvin
manager and chief engineer. Mr.. Chau-
vim Is.the son Of Gen. Chauvin, who was
Director General Of Telegraph during the
Franco Prussian war. Many eminent civil
engineers and other scientific men were
among Messsrs. Siemens guests, and we're
conducted over the vast works, where , 200
men are employed, distributed over the
core-tank houses, the filters shops, the
guttapercha factory, the sheating depart
neht, the hemp, wire, testing, gaIvanizing
and packing shops, the ssoreheuses, and
the engine-house. After proceeding to the
yards and shops we were taken on board
the Faraday, which is lying off in the river
and which has been built expressly for the
cable-iaying service. Though by no means
handsome, she is a fine ship, aud well suit
ed to the purpose for which she is destined.
Her nominal burden is 5000 tons but it is
estimated she can carry G,4S0 tvns, aud
she will hare nearly this weight of cable on
board. She is 800 feet long and 81 feet
deep. The cable will lie in til rec immense
tanks, each As feet in diameter and % feet
deep. TIE faraday has steering appa-
ratus at each end, and is, in fact, a ship
with two bows; she has double engines,
two tunnels, placed abreast, and steam
steering gear IN the centre.
1t is hoped that the Faraday VIII star,
in ten days, proceeding first to New IIamp |
shire, thence to Nova Scotia, thence to
newfoundland, laying cable all the time. |
She then returns to England, and ships the !

tending from Valentia to New found,,pd

Ladies Logic.

In the talk Of some ladies' who move in a
toleruhly good position, but who have been
imperfectly educated, may be heard droll
specimens CT illogical reasoning. The fol
lowing are two instances. A married lady
with family, who lived In villa in the
exterior snviryns of London, was asked
why she was at the expense of keeping n
COW, seeing that it would be surely much
cheaper TO buy milk for the household.
" We'll, said she, in reply. eve keep a
COW because we have a field quite at hand
which answers very niceiy.' But" was
the rejoiader, why 30 you rent the tield?"
The answer was, 4" Because, you know, we
have got the GOVT" Tie other Instance
occurred at PEBBLES. A lady in reduced
circumstances mentioned to friend that
she had just arranged to rent house be-
ouging to baker ia the town. The
friend was somewhat surprised at the
announcement, C onsidering the lady's cir
cumstauces, and asked if the expense
" eIld not be to- much for her. ooh, NOS
at ALL was the answer "we'll take bread

Convict Life in New Calendouia.

a correspondent of the .SouAsrn Cross,
who recently visited New Calendonis, CON-
nunicates some interesting facts tout The
covicts. The conyicts of New Caendon;a
number over eight thousand, and are most
ly on the lie de5 Pines, which is short
distance to the southwark of the mainland.
Other convict settlements sre scattered all
around the coast Owing TO the late arri
Val OF the Communists, the numbers will
be con~iderabiy increased. The convicts
are mostly employed on the roads, which,
round Aoumea, are IN excellent condition,
and on any government work that may be
going on. They ar at present retaining a
portion Of the harbor which hen compile
ted, will be Of great value to the town Of
Noumea. The conyiets are paid a few
until their terms OF sentence is expired.
They are not overxorked, and allowed to
smose-in fact, if any thing, l should
fancy thEt they had better time Of it
than the soldiers who guard them. Some
very clever carved ornaments, made of
wood and shells, are manufactured by the
prisoners, who sell them to the store keep
ers. Numbers Of these curiositIe. find
their way into the Sydney market. If
prisoner escapes gun is fired, ard any
one-soldier or citizer-has ca. &c Ltauche,
If discovered, to shoot him dead. Several
instances have occurred Of cOnvicts en-
deevoring to escape, but they invariably
have either been shot or drowned in at

although, supposing they reached them,
they could not get away, being surrounded
by the sea. Any convict showing signs of

to shoot him on the spot. think that
this is wrong, for the guards may abuse,
and it is said have abused their power.
\ o doubt with u view of soothing their
savage breasts, the convicts are allowed to

is. They perform once week, generally

Every year increases the popularity
this valuable Hair Preparation which is
due to merit alone. We can assure our
oldPatrons that ii is kept fully up to its high
standard; and it is the only reliable and
perfected preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color, max
Ing 1t soft, lustrous, and siken. The
scalp, by Its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff, and,
by its tonic properties, prevents the hair
from falling out, as it stimulates and
nonrishes the hair glands. BY ITS use. the
hair grows thicker and stronger. In bald
ness, 1t restores the capillary glands to
their normal vigor, and will create a new
growth, except in extreme old age. 1t is
the most economical HAIR DREssING ever

From the New York Tribune.

One one the hottest days Of that hot
summer which burned itself into every
body's memory, lady in the country
happened to send large basket of cut
flowers to a friend who had been forced to
remain in town through even the fiery heat
OF July. The lady, as she uncovered the
basket Of panses and roses, heavy with
fragrance and still wet with dew, stood by
an open window. and CHANGING out careless
ly, saw two wretched little street Arabs
dragging their barrow Of old rags along
through the dust. Without thought she
threw them two or three Of the roses. She
quite expected their astonished yell of de-
light, and the quick " Saddec, ma am"

But she hardly anticipated the sudden halt
which they made, the delicate care with
which they handled the flowers, looking at
and smelling If them gently as though a
priceless treasure had fallen into their
hands. Presently the two roses were put
together, bit of paper wrapped about
the stems, and one boy ran off with them
while the other took the heavy barrow to
90 on alone. "Where is be going with
them p she said. CLONE, mama If

The Presidents Salary Must be
Reduced.
From the Toledo Blade.1

From the Toledo Bladel
The XLIIId Congress will soon CON-
mence its second session. The Repub-
licans have large majority in each
branch and can carry any measures
agreed upon. Their time will be short,
but their machinery is all manned and
in good working order. They must
enter upon work earnestly at the outset
and not let anything prevent them
from accomplishing that which must
be done, if they would regain the conf
dence of the people and insure success
for the Republican party in the coming
Presidential struggle. 1t is a notorious
fact that Congressional appropriations
have become recklessly extravagant,
in many particulars. These must be
cut down. There must be financial
relief afforded through some channel
which cannot fail to secure beneficial
results. The Presidents salary should
be placed back to the time-hOnored
So, 200. In short, Congress must con-
suit public sentiment, aud not set at
nought the well-known wishes of the
people. By doing this, the victories
by the Democrats this fall
cannot be repeated two years hence. 1t
is for Congress, at its coming session,
to say whc ther these victories shall be
temporary or permanent.

the male adults of that city at $4,000,
this allo ance is equal TO $50 gallons a

Morning, Dec. 10. 1874.

A Convention to form third party
was lately called to meet at Indianapo-

meeting of the Indiana State GrangH.
Whereppon the Grange passed the well
put resolution:
That the State Grange in council as
sembled has no sympathy with any
past, present or future attempt that
may be made by any political party or
political aspirant to absorb little re-
tiected warmth, decency or support by
so persistently calling and publishing
their meetings at the same time and
place Of ours, and that decent respect
for our order requires that such at
tempts be suitably rebuked by publish
ing this resolution.
