NEW FEATURES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MAN
HAITIAN MARKET.
The immense structure az the foot OF Thirty.
fourth street, known as the Manhattan Market,
has recently changed hands, ana, with the change
of management, have been inaugurated certain
improvements which deserve especial mention,
inasmuch as they relate to public health and
SAFETY. The history Of the market Is but repeti-
ton Of many monster enter rises. Erected at
cost OF $1150,O00 the promoters OF the scheme
found themselves with the building on their hands
and an exhausted treasury. The owners of the
ground, the estate Of Courtlandt Palmer, were
lenient but after struggling along for about elgh-
teen months, and falling to meet their obhga-
tons, the Manhattan Market Company was com.

OCEAN TELEGRAPHY.
How Messages are Sent and Received
Under the Sea.

He (the ocean telegraph operator),
says the Boston Herald, taps the "key"
as in a land telegraph, only it is double
key. 1t has two levers and knobs instead
of one. The alphabet used is substan-
TALLY like the Morse alphabet; that is,
the different letters are represented by
combination of dashes and dots. For
instance, suppose you want to write the
word "boy." 1t would read like this ::
&C.. B is one
dash and three dots O, three dashes !;
and Y, one dash, and one dot, and three
dashes. Now, in the land telegraph, the
dashes and the 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 or armature. III 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 electric
magnet.
The cable operator, however, has
neither Of these advantages. There is
no paper to perforate, no +" click" of the
armature, no armature TO "click." The

flash of light upon a polished scale pro
duced by the DETECTION" of very small
mirror, which is placed within ''rlirror
t'alvanometer, which is a small brass
cylinder two or three inches in diameter,
shaped like a spool or 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 bundle of new rope, small
hole being left in the middle about the
size of a common wooden pencil. In
the center of this is suspended very
thin, delicate mirror about as large as a
kernel of corn, with a correspOndingly
small! magnet rigidly attached to the
back of it. The whole weighs but lit
tie more than grain, and is suspended
by single fibre of silk much smaller
than a human hair, and almost invisible.
A narrow horizontal scale is placed
within darkened box two or three feet
III front of the mirror, narrow slit being
cut in the center of the scale to allow a
ray of light to shine upon the mirror
from lamp placed behind said scale, the
little mirror in turn rejecting the light
back upon the scale. This spot of light
upon JlS SCitlt Is llo lulGA DN WHICH ull
messages are read. The angle through
which the ray moves Is double that ira
versed by the mirror itself and it is
therefore, really equivalent TO an index
four or six feet in length without weight.
To the casual observer there is moth
ing but thin ray of light, darting to the
right and left with irregular rapidity
but to the trained eye of the operator
every fash is replete with intelligence.
Thus the word boy" already alluded
TO, would be read in this way One flash

Three flashes to The right is o. One to
the right, one to the left, and two more
to the right is Y, and so on. Long and
constant practice makes the operators
wonderfully expert in their profession,
and enables them to read from the mir
ror as readily and as accurately as from
q newspaper.

ChiIdren'S Rights.

The first right of every child is to be
well born and by this / mean that 1t
has a right to the best conditions, phys
ical, mental and moral, that it is in the
power of the parents to secure. With
out this the child is defrauded of his
rights at the outset, and his life can
hardly fail of being a painful protest
against broken laws. Centuries of pre-
paration fitted the earth for mans occu-
pancy, limiting thus the grandeur of his
destiny, and suggested that in an event
of such magnitude as the incarnating OF
soul provision should be exercised, and
all the best conditions secured in aid of
harmonious and happy result. Good
health, good habits, sound mentality and
reverent love should form the basis of
every new life that is involved. The
mother who gives herself up to morbid
fancies, who considers her health an ex-
cuse for petulance and non-exercise of
self-control, proves herself unworthy of
the holy Office of mother, and ought not
to be surprised if she reap at later day
the bitter harvest of her unwise sowing.
Second in importance to none, as a
means of securing the happiness and
best good of childhood and youth, is the
right TO be taught obedience. 1t is easy
TO submit to what we know is inevitable,
and to the little child the requirement
of the parent should be law without APP
peal. The tender, immature being, shut
in by the unknown, where every relation
is a mystery and every advance an ex-
pertinent, has a right to find itself evety-
where sustained and directed by her
parent. 1t should not be tempted TO re-
sistance by laws that are imperfectly en-
forced, nor subjected to the injurious
friction of discussion by having q long
list of reasons given for every require
ment. The habit of obedience to the
parents may be formed before the child
is two years old, and this is q necessary
precedent of obedience TO law, the next
stage Of a true development. The child
has right to ask questions and to be
fairly answered not to be snubbed as if
he were guilty of an impertinence, nor
ignored as though his desire for infor-
nation were of no consequence, nor
misled as if it did not signify whether
true or false impressions were made
upon his mind. He has q right to be
taught everything which he desires to
learn, and to be made certain, when any
asked-for information is withheld, that it
is only deferred till he is older and bet
ter prepared TO receive it. Answering
child's questions is sowing the seeds of
its future character. - Victoria Mdga-

AT length she graduated and returned

At length she graduated and returned
to her friends, leaving the young lawyer
to plod on toward the fame that awaited
him. In the course of time Miss Dubois
married highly respectable citizen of
Boston, with whom she lived in great
happiness and prosperity. With the
lapse of time honors accumulated upon
William l.. Marcy. He was elevated to
the bench of the Supreme Court OF the
State of New York. He occupied the
Gubernatorial chair, and afterward be-
came a member of the United States Sen
ate, and then Secretary of State in the
Cabinet of the President of the United
States, gaining honors as Minister of
State which few of his predecessors had
attained. While Senator i'll Congress
he attended one of those splendid recep-
tions given by a distinguished official
to the heads of departments, Senators,
members of Congress and other eminent
persons entitled to an invitation. In the
course of the evening lady whose beau
ty, accomplishments, fascinating manners
and reputed wealth attracted much at
tention in the fashionable circles of
Washington, approached Mr.. Marcy.
She was leaning on the arm of n digni-
fed, courtly gentleman. "Senator," she
said, with n graceful salutation, :" can
not resistmy desire to renew an acquaint-
ance with you, once the source of great
pleasure and profit to me. Do you not
recognize in me an old friend 2"
Certainly L do. You are, or rather
were Miss Dubois. 1 am delighted to
meet you again nothing could give me
greater pleasure, said Mr.. Marcy, after
q moments hesitation.
"Permit me to introduce to you my
husband, Mr.. D, of Boston" said
the lady. "Mr. D" she continued,
this is the Hon. William l.. Marcy,
whom you know so well by reputation.
He is an old friend of mine. once
eloped with him but trust you will
forgive me, as you have me, for it was
only an indiscretion of our youth.
"Such elopements are easily forgot
ton, Senator" said Mr.. D., "es-
pecially since the one Mrs. D alludes
to has afforded us a fund of amusement
from our first acquaintance.
cit was SO well managed that neither
of us knew anything about it until it was
all over," said Marcy.
Ihestory OF the elopementsoontoundlt
way into Washington society, where it
was subject of much merriment.
"Marcy," said President Jackson, at
one of his receptions, at which Mrs.
D. and her husband were present,
4" Marcy, by the Eternal, if i had been
in your place L should have given full
occasion for the report of an elopement
with that splendid woman. Why did
you not2"
Because, Mr.. President, L had my
eyes on still lovelier woman-the future
Mrs. Marcy" was the reply.

Ranid Transit in New York.

For long time the people of New
York have been agitating the subject of
rapid transit. Various schemes have
been proposed looking to the attainment
of that desideratum, but each had its
defects and all have in turn been rejected.
Finally a commission, composed of some
of the eminent architects and lead
ing business men of New York,
was appointed to invite proposals
and inspect plans for the promo
tion of cheap and rapid transpor-
tation in the city and suburbs. The re-
port of this commission has just been
published. From more than 100 plans
the Commissioners have selected and
adopted three, either of which may be
constructed singly or by combining the
three. They are single track road on
each side of streets, over the sidewalks,
elevated on a single line of columns, or
double track road over the center of
streets, on posts placed in the roadway,
just spanning the horse-car tracks, or
supported on Gothic arches spanning
the street from curb to curb, according
to plans presented by Richard p. Nor
gan, Jr., of Bloomington, Ill. 1t is
probable that one of these plans will be
adopted, and that ere long the great city
of New York will be traversed by net
work of elevated railways.

Letter from Mark Twain.

Mr. Samuel l.. Clemens has consent
eel to lecture in Hartford for the benefit
of the poor. Following is his letter.
GENTLEMEN accede to your request
with pleasure. Many months ago per-
manently quilted the lecture field, and
said would not appear upon platform
any more unless driven there by lack
of bread. BY the spirit of that remark
| am debarred from delivering this pro-
posed lecture, and so l fall back upon
the letter of it and emerge upon the
platform for this last and final time be-
cause l am confronted by lack of bread
among Father Hawley's flock. Most
people lie by the spirit and the letter,
too, but L am not one of that kind, for /
have been very carefully brought up. /
wish to impose upon you this condition,
that the expenses of this enterprise shall
be paid out of four or five private pock-
cts (mine to be one of them), to the end
that all Of the money that comes in Mt
the door shall go to Father Hawleys
needy ones, unimpaired by taxes on its
journey. / am glad to know that you
are going to put the tickets at 81; for
what we are after now is money for peo-
pie who stand sorely in need of bread
and meat, and so the object justifes the
price. AS this will probably be the last
time L shall ever have the opportunity
of hearing sound wisdom and pure truth
delivered from the platform, wish to
buy ticket to this lecture, and herewith
send money for the purchase. / am
aware that / could get in for nothing,
and still be acting in measure honor
ably but when run my lecture over in
my mind and realize what a very treas
ure of priceless information it is, 1 find
i cannot conscientiously accept Of a free
pass. Respectfully, MARK TWAIN.
