Our Paris Cable Letter.

The breaking Of the cables and tho sudden
interruption of communication by the in
jured lines threw the entire weight of the
intercontinental exchange Of news and COM
mercial dispatches on the cable of the Direct
Gable Company, which was consequently
overcrowded with work. Owing to this I'M
fortunate circumstance we were unable to
present to our readers, rs usual, the gossipy
cable letter from Paris, which has been one
Of the distinguished features Of the Sunday
HERALD This fact alone shows how impor-
tant it is for tho social and business
requirements of both continents that
several cable lines should be kept in
constant readiness to transmit the news
Of the day, and that the claims for
exclusive patronage by any line should only
receive recognition when the facilities and
reliability of that line were rendered su-
perior to all others Some of our contempt
raries have taken exception to an enterprise
which can only be carried out At consider
able expense, deeming the game not worth
the candle. But it is precisely by this
lighter part of the cable dispatches that the
change which the cable has made in the
world is most impressed on the mind of the
general reader. The people are no longer
surprised that the cable gives them the facts
of great moment which occurred in London
or Paris yesterday but when it gives
them the chat, the small talk, the tests,
the current humor Of the hour then they
comprehend that the press has at its disposal
n machinery by the use of which London
and Paris are brought as near to US for news
purposes as Albany and Washington. We
present in to-day's HERALD our Paris cable
letter, which was delayed in transmission, rs
described BY it we are informed that the
Bonapartists are at work encouraging the
amnesty agitation, in the hope of introduce
ing an element of discord in the discussions
and councils of the Republic. Rochcfort is
busy stinging like political hornet every
one against whom he believes he has a gricv-
ance, and nj. Rouher is likely to be prose-
cuted for his fierce anti-republican address
TO the Corsicans at Ajaccio. The tfte day of
the ex-Emprcss Eugene has been celebrated
at Chiselhurst, and a number of interesting
events in the Partisan world of literature
and art are noted. Altogether our Paris
cable letter presents to the readers of the
HERALD a perfect reflex of the condition OF
affairs in the French capital, from grave to
gay, from lively to severe

Tho Democratic Triumviratc.

Thurman, Tilden and Bayard may, if they
will, divide between them the world of this
great Republic. They, with the democratic
vote behind them and with public sentiment
in its present condition, may as potently
parcel out the nation as did Antony, Oc-
tavius and Lcpidus the ancient world.
With any one OF these three in the Presidcn-
tial office, and the other two in the Cabinet,
they would give TO democratic administra-
ton the advantage of great political knowl-
edge and experience; great weight morally

these would make, buttressed and supported
by the others, the country would regard
with confidence the party that it deems it
neodful to put in power but that it

form in civil service, hard money, social
tranquility, commercial prosperity, would
be almost guaranteed by an Executive thus
made mp. With a pledge, or any political
certainty that the two who cannot be elected
would be associated with the Executive by
appointment, it would DO deemed of less

it really was of no consequence whatever
which one the people had officially named.
1t would be the same with the three promi-

party. West and South would consent that
New York should nominate if they can re-
spectively be sure that their men will
be associated with him. New 70 k would
equally consent that either of the ether
sections should nominally carry the Convcn-
ton on the same condition. Will there be
wisdom enough in the democratic councils
to secure result like this or will the SUI

The PRESIDENTIAL SLAUGHTER HOUSE,
Only one person can be elected President of
the United States to succeed General Grant,
and only two persons can win the honor of a
nomination from the great political parties
Yet score of ambitious politicians are
straining to secure the prize, and scarcely
one OF them will pass through the ordeal I'M
scathcd. The Presidential field this year is
a slaughter house for aspirants. Pendleton
has been killed outright. Grant has been
MORALLY wounded. Blaine, Robeson Jewell
and Hendricks have all been put upon the
rack. Morton has been attacked, but up to
this time he has defended himself vigorously
and turned the tables on his assailants
Conkling is destined to come in for his share
of assault, and even Tilden does not escape
Mini-ter Washburne has been indirectly

the St. Louis Convention will heartily and
with unanimity make our Governor the
standard bearer of the party, his election
will be almost assured. But 1t will not do
for him to force nomination at the risk Of a
divided and distracted party With the
large vote of New York in his hands as "a
unit in the Convention he might possibly do
So But it would be sacrifcial act. For
the qualification of profitless ambition Mr.
Tilden would draw upon himself the NOR
LITIGATION of defeat, and ON the nation the
misfortune of continuance of republican
rule.
Mr.. Tilden will do no such act. His
championship of reform is honest earnest
and unselfish, and he "has head" He will
see that an opportunity offers to distinguish
himself and to serve the people better than
by securing the coveted nomination. If he
should become convinced that his party does
not heartily desire, and will not chcerfully
accept, his nomination, he can forego his
honorable ambition for the good Of the
whole country, and by using his great inau-
ence to control the nomination he can in
sure that the candidate will be one who will
deserve and can command success. This he
will certainly have the power to accomplish.
To use q familiar expression, he has two
strings to his bow. He can nominate one Of
two unexceptionable andidates-Thurman,
of Ohio, or Bayard, of Delaware. The name

throughout the country; yet it may be
doubted whether it would be available at
this time. The republicans are seeking to
raise old sectional issues and to re-
vive the bitter feelings engendercd by
the war for the purpose of diverting
attention from the corruption of their party,
and the nomination OF the able Senator from
Delaware might aid them in this purpose.
But Thurman, standing, as it were, at the
crossroads OF the nation, can unite all sec
tions--North and South, East and West.
His ability is unquestioned, his character
unstained. He satisfies Seymours motto of
honesty" and Adams watchword Of
'head." He is sound on the financial ques-
ton, while his connection with Governor
Allen would be likely to lead the Ohio in
fationists to accept him before any other
candidate if put forward with Tilden as his
champion. Governor Tilden would then
occupy with Thurman the same relation that
Mr.. Seward occupied with Lincoln; and with
Thurman President, and Tilden and Bayard
in his Cabinet, we should have an adj
ministration as able as any that has ever
ruled at Washington, and might look
with confidence for return to that
purity and honesty for which the national
government was distinguished in its better
days.

Condensed History Of Steam.

About $50 years b. c., Hero. of Alex
andria. formed toy which exhibited
some of the powers of steam. and was
moved by its power.
A. ID. $40, an architect arranged sew
eral caldrons of water, each covered
with the wide bottom of leather tube.
which rose to narrow top, with pipes
extended to the rafters of the adjoining
building. A fire was kindled beneath
the caldron. and the house was shaken
with the efforts of the steam ascending
the tubes. This is the first notice of the
power of steam recorded.
In 1913, June II, Brasco de Garay
tried steamboat of 200 tons with toler-
able success. at Barcelona. Spain. 1t
consisted of caldron of boiling water,
and movable wheel on each side of the
ship. 1t was laid aside as impracti-
cable. A present, however, was made
to Garay.
In 1850 the first railroad was con-
structed at Observation-Disclosures.
The first idea of steam engine in
England was in the Marquis Worces-
ter's - History of INVENTION A. ID.
1868.
In 1901 Newerman made the first en-
CINE in England.
In 1864 James Watt made the first
perfect steam engine in England.
In 1866 Jonathun Huls first set forth
the idea of steam navigation.
In us Thomas Payne first proposed
the application in America.
In 1871 Marquis Joui1rey constructed
steamboat on the Saone.
In 1871 two Americans published a
work on it.
In 1889 William Symington made a
voyage in one on the Forth and Clyde
Canal.
In 1902 the experiment was repeated.
In 1872 Ramsey propelled boat by
steam at New York.
In 1889 John Fitch, Of Connecticut
navigated boat by u steam engine on
the Delaware.
In 1894 Robert Fulton first began to
apply his attention to steam.
In 1888 Oliver Evans, a native OF
Philadelphia, constructed steam en-.
CINE to travel on turnpike road.
The first steam vessel that crossed the
Atlantic was the Savannah, i'll the month
of June, from Charleston to Liverpool

WHY WE CoUGH.- An italian investi-
gator has been studying the cause Of
coughs, and has come to the conclusion
that they are the result of the presence
of parasitic fungus in the air pas
sages. In severe cases the parasite null
tiplies, and takes possession of the lung
cells. Quinine is said to possess the
power Of stopping the microscopic
fungi, and is therefore recommended as
remedy. The italian doctor has sue
cessfully used powder composed Of
the Carbohydrate of quinine, one part !;
bicarbonate of soda, one part; gum ara
bic. twenty parts. The soda is intended
to dissolve the mucus, the gum arabic
to increase the adherence of the powder
on the bronchial passages. The blowing
in of the powder should take place dur
ing a deep inspiration of the patient, so
that it may penetrate the windpipe. the
chief seat of the microscopic fungus.
The remedy, whatever may be the truth
of the theory on which it is founded,
has the merit of simplicity; and if its
application did little good, it could not
do much harm.
