The Baton Rouge Regain

From private dispa,ches received in the
city last night, we infer that our New Or.
leans crews. sent up from the Hove and
Riverside clubs, did not greatly dl.ti u T..
themselves in the boat races which tt
place yesterday at Baton Rouge. IL is re-
ported that the Hopes came in first both in
gig and shell race, but under such circum-
stances that the Riyersides entered protests
and claimed fouls. Ia each case the Judges
were averse to declaring the Hopes winners.
and technically decided 'tno raca.' The
result of the tther races. in which the
country clubs participated, and must have
gained ali the honors, is net known get by
the oarsmcn here. The programme was for
six races, including the skiff racing.

Arsene Eoussaye continues his letters to
the New York Tribune with column and
half Of gossip of old times mingled with
scandal. The letter is full of pithy SEN
tences, some studied, many sparkling, aud a
few that glitter with originality. Beginning
with the assertion of the Duke of Gram
mont that the Indifference OF Parisians was
almost Oriental fatalism, i've have become
too Athenian, all our Spartans died with
Napoleon the First. he tells the intrigue
that made the war after Louis Napoleon,
hating bloodshed and had settled that
peace was the policy, had gone to bed. The
Empress made it, and De Grammont ac.
quieeced because he couldn't resist pretty
woman. They woke the Emperor from the
sleep of the just and made him first blur
derer, ard then a murderer, an exile and
fugitive France did not rise as one man.
Only Northern France did it's duty. South
ern France folded its hands and admired
its grape crop. There is more than ono
France. Why she paid the five mlliards,
after losing two provinces, is because tie
Bank of France is 30 strOngI that the Com
mune. with its 100000 scoundrels, did not
dare to touch it, though absolute mistress
of France for three months.
The prime thing of France is its wine
crop. As long as the palate of man retains
its cunning she will never know how rich
she is. Germany threatens to swallow
France. If this cataclysm could arrive,
never fear but France would swa low Ger
many. Such is the will OF the patriarch
Noah.
Mirilree, author OF COLUMBIA and pyesi-
Love, is touched upon, and tale of ease
before the court told, which the Tribune is
welcome to keep. 1t was in the good times,
when no one thought OF anything but pleas
ure. When sovereigns are happy, the peo-
pie are also happy. Mirimee's master was
Stendhal, author of Rouge ct Noir, skeptic
who was beyond skepticism. He was i'm
pious, an outrageous materialist, personal
enemy of Providence. He denied the ex-
istence of God, and yet he hated Him like
a master All atheists are like this. Miri-
nee had the cold skepticism of gray sky.

How Messages are sent by The Ocean
N

lie (the OCT al tel graph OPERATOR taps
the key" as in lane telegraph only it is a
double key. 1t has two levers ana knobs
instead of one. The alphabet used ia sub.
stan tally like the Morse alphabet: that is,
the different letters are represented by a
combination of dashes and dots. For in.
stance, suppose you want to write the word
"boy.' 1t woul read like this: - -
-" B is one dash and three
dots; o, three dashes; and Y one dash. one
dot and three dashes. Now, in the land
telegraph. the dashes and dots would appear
on the strip OF paper at the other end of
the line, which is unwound from a cylinder
and perforated by pin at the end of the
bar of armature. Ii the operator could
read by sound we would dispense with the
strip of paper and read the message by the
click" OF the armature as it is pulled
down and let go by the electromagnetic.
The cable operator, however, has neither
of these advantages. There is no papsr to
perto?ate, no "click" of the armature, no
armaiure to "elick" The message is read
by means of moving flash of light upon a
polished scale produced by the "detection"
Of a very small mirror, which is placed
within mirror galvanometer," which is
a small brass cylinder two or three irches
in diameter, shaped like a spool OF bobbin,
composed of several hundred turns of small
wire wound with silk to keep the metal
from coming in contact 1t is wound or
coiied exactly like a bundle of new rope q
small hole being left in the middle about
the size OF common wooden pencil, In
the centre OF this is suspended very thin,
delicate mirror, about as large as kernel
OF corn, with correspondingly small
magnet rigidly attached to the back
of II. The whole weighs but little more
than grain, and is suspended by single
fibre of silk, much smaller than human
bair, and almost invisible. A narrow hori-
zontal scale Is placed within darkened
box two or three feet in front of the mirror,
a narrow slit being cut in the centre of the
scale to allow ray of light to shine upon
the mirrot from a lamp placed behind said
scale, the little mirror ~ turn Re fiectiug the
light back upon the scale. This spot of
light upon the scale is the index by which
all messages are read. The angle thr ough
which the ray moves is double that trav-
ersed by the mirror ITSELF and it is, there
fore. really equivalent to au index four or
six feet in length without weight.
To the casual observer there is nothing
but thin ray of Light, darting TO the right
and left with irregular rspidlty; but to the
trained eye of the operator every fash is re
plete with int llig, nee. Thus tho word
boy" already alluded to would be read 10
this way. One flash to the right and tirAs
I'd the left is b. Three flashes ID the right is
y. One to the right, one to the left, and two
more TO the right is J, and so on. Long and
constant practice makes the operators won
derfully expert in their profession, and ena-
bles them to read from the mirror as readily
and as accurately as from a newspaper

A Fast Line Southwest.

The Philadelphia North American calls
attention TO the fact that upon the occasion
of the meeting OF the General Ticket and
Passenger Agents Association, at Saratoga,
which comes off to-day, the first throug h
train OF continuous run between the
extreme points of New Orleans and
New York came off. 1t started from
New Orlesns at 4:40 P. NJ, Sunday,
and we presume it reached New York at
$50 p. NJ, Wednesday. This makes the
time of transit three days. Taking into
consideration certain characteristics of
Southern roads, this is remarkably good
work. The route chosen was by way of
Atlanta, lover the Great Kenesaw and the
Virginia and Midland lines" Then the
North American has this to say:
"The increasing intercourse between New
Orleans and the cities of the Northern sea-
board renders the efforts to shorten the
time OF transit peculiarly important, and
although the present tram is not announced
as the beginning of any new arrangement,
it shows how much the time has been short
ened by the constant seiforts to unity the
various portions as a common through line.
We regard this as Of quite as much interest
as the pending fast lines to Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Chicago, aud hope soon to hear
OF a fast mail line through from Philadel-
phia, New York, Baltimore and Washing
ttn to New Orleans. If the same energy
exhibited on the fast line to the West were
brought to bear On this southwestern con.
nectlon the time could be very materially
reduced from the present schedule.
And we second this idea heartily, and
call upon our friends at Atlanta and other
places along the route, TO be up and doing
in this matter-t0 secure at least fast and
unbroken transit from the great Gulf port
to the capital of the country. The next
thing that We hear of should be the estab-
fishing of q fast line from Washington to
New Orleans, by way of Atlanta. 1t is just
- necessary to bind the South and South
west to us by means of rapid communica.

A writer at the Arlington House. in lS1 l.
asked Mr.. Custis If Washington could, like
Marshal SAKE, break horse shoe, and the
reply he received was, he had no doubt he
could had he tried, for his hands were the
largest and strongest he had ever seen.
Mr.. Custis then gave several instances Of
the Generals strength, of which he recalls
the following:
When Washington was a young man he
was present on one occasion as iooker'on
at q wrestling games then the fashion in
Virginia. Tired OF the sport, he had retired
to the shade of o tree, where he was Pc
rusing pamphlet, till challenged to bout
by the hero of the day, AMI the strongest
wrestler in the State. Washington de-
clined, until taunted by the remark that he
feared to try conclusions with the gladiator;
he came calmly forward, and, without re-
moving his coat, grappled with his antago-
mist. There was fierce struggle for
brief space of time, when the champion
was hurled to the ground with such tre-
mendous force as to jar the very marrow IN
his bones.
Another instance of his prodigioHs power
was his throwing stone across the Kappa
hammock, at Fredericksburg-a feat that
has never been performed since.
Later in life, a number of young gentle
men at Mount Vernon were coutending IN
the exercise of throwing the bar. Wash,
ington, after looking on while, walked
forward, saying, "Allow me to try;" and
grasping the bar, sent the iron flying
through the air twenty feet beyond its
usual limits.
Still later in his career, Washington,
whose age was like lusty winter; III osty
but kinly." observed three OF his workmen
at Mount Vernon vaiAly endeavoring 70
raise large stone; when, tired OF witness
ing their unsuccessful attempts, he put
them aside. and, taking II IN nls IRON grasp'
Lifted y to its place. remounted his norse'
and rode on. Il
