THE CONSOLIDATION AND WHAT Is SAID ABOUT
1.-THE HEIGHTENNG OF THE RATEs-EFFEcT
ON BUSINESS
visit to the headquarters OF the two telegraph
panies-the Western Union and Atlantic and Pacific
failed elicit any definite information regarding the
rumored consolidation of the two lines. That such
movement is in progress there hardly be any doubt
if the secretveness Of the two companies is taken into
consideration Mr. Cornell, one of the vice presidents
of the Western Union Company who acts in the abb
sence of Mr. orton positively refuses to give any nor-
nation, but disposed to be very funny about it. He
cracks stale Jokes about it. asks questions having no
bearing the subject and acts like who is under
orders from his superors TO tell what he may have
been allowed to know.
While the Atlantic and Pacific people not so secre
tive they profess to know nothing about the consoda
ton 1t is that the Vice President OF the At
lantic and Pacific very strongly in favor of the ANAL
gamaton Of the two companies and he be the
only one who does not conceal it
Regarding the change of rates the manager of the
Atlantic and Pacific says it is misapprehenson to call
the present rates high They are the same that
in operation up last February and those that
in force since were not the normal ones It was
to great extent experiment and it practically
failure The increase in business that resulted there
from certainly did not repay the expense of the reduc
ton The present return to the old rates only affected
messages between Boston, Philadelphia, Albany and
New York. Western and Southern rates remained the
same. The average increase over the prices of last
week was about thirty per cent The change had
taken place at the solicitation of the Western Union
Company and the rates of the two companies the
1t found that the of delivering messages
in large cities very high, it costing about eleven
cents to deliver every message in New York city.
Under these circumstances the rate Of message from
Boston here, for instance not eXOrbant at thirty
cents; whereas at twenty cents it certainly did not pay,
and the public did to have paid any particular
attention TO the change
The reports of the activity Of the National Line in
San Francisco rdiculed by the people of both the
telegraph lines here who say that without arrange
ment with the Pacific Railroad to repair any portion Of
the wire that may be down no line the continent
will pay and that II would cost all the receipts of the
business to maintain construction force to make
pairs and drag poles the mountains and prarles
In spite OF all this reports from San Francisco state that
the new company is going actively TO work. and that
construction departments" will be opened in
Chicago and New York. In this city, outside of the
doubling Thomases Of the telegraph companies,
siderable faith TO exist in the genuine intentions
OF the new company.

THE STATUE OF HERMANN's WIFE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In connection with the recent Inauguration of the
of Armnius may be interesting your readers
to learn that the sculptor Won Bandc has also executed
life size statue in marble OF Thusnelda the unfortu
wife OF the ancient German hero This statue was
finished in 1S43, and in possession Of the Prince
of Lppe. The moment represented by Won Bande in
first led before the Roman conqueror after her capture
when according 10 Tacus 'she stood in calm and COL
lected silence her folded her breast" The
attitude Of the figure indicates stern resignation to
bitter The flowing robes bordered with fur are
studies from antique 6as relie5 of German cos
tunes. The peculiar arrangement Of the hair sug
gesed TO tho sculptor by ctchings copper found IN old
German tombs
A bust brought from Rome to England, and known as
''the head OF gladiator, is supposed by students
ofarchaology TO represent Thumecus the son Of Armn
and Thusneda 1t was the custom among the ancient
Romans to honor their dead gadiators-those who had
especially distinguished themsclves-by erecting
memorial statues. This bust, marked as a gladiator
by the short hair and mustache is of a man Of no
common order The youthful face is that of a noble
and brave warrior, whose life had been blghted by
some great sorrow.
There is remarkable resemblance between the raca
of this bust and that Of the statue in the Loggia at
Florence, known the ''Da del SenZion and sup
posed by archeoogsts to represent Thusneda; and
this, combined with other evidences leaves but little
doubt that the sad face Of this young gladiator is that OF
the unfortunate son OF the great Arminus H. s. Q.
