How long does it take to transmit a
message through the Atlantic cable!
The New York Journal Of Commerce
has been investigating this question.
and, simple as it looks at first sight,
there are many singular and interest
ing points in the answer. When the
electricity is applied to the cable at one
end, two-tenths Of a second pass before
any effect is felt at the other end, and
three seconds are consumed before the
full force Of the current is in action.
The first signal is felt in four-tenths of
second. but the following ones 60
through more rapidly. As many us
seventeen words have been sent over
the Atlantic Cable in one minute; if.
teen can usually be sent under pres
sure. AM twelve words q minute is a
good working rate. Messages Of twelve
words have been sent all the way from
New York to London in two minutes.
A fact not yet explained by the scien.
lists is, that the electricity does not
move as rapidly from New York to
London rs in the opposite direction.

NEURALGIA AMONG WoxEN.-Neu.
ralgia in the faces and heads Of women
is largely on the increase, as compared
with the number of instances Of the
disease among men; and this is be-
lieved to be due to the inferior protec'
ton afforded by the mode in which
women now cover their heads. 1t is
not only one Of the most common Of
feminine maladies, but one Of the most
painful and difficult of treatment. II
is also a cause of much mental depres.
sion, and is regarded by physicians as
leading more often to habits of intem-
perance among women than any other
disease.

One OF the saddest records We have
ever made in these columns is the fol.
lowing: About two weeks since, a gen.
tleman from this county, who is one Of
our most prominent business men. was
united in marriage with a charming
and accomplished young lady from one
Of the cities Of the bay. The couple
went 10 San Jose to spend a few days
Of that unusually blissful period, the
first of married life. The union took
place on Sunday, and very early Thurs
day morning the bridegroom was ava
kened by hearing his young bride at
prayers. Suddenly her praying was
changed to singing, and this was fol-
lowed by loud laughter. until the awful
fear took hold Of the gentlemans mind
that his beloved wife had lost her rea-
son. Thinking that a change and the
quiet Of a country home would be ben
e6cial, the couple started at once for
home. The lady's malady grew stead
lily worse during the journey, and no
benefit was derived at their new home,
and few days since it was found nec-
essary to take her hack to her parental

n Mound-Builders' Road.

Near Maysville, Kentucky, there has
recently been discovered the remains OF
an ancient macadamized road similar in
its character to the one known TO exist
near Fairmount, West Virginia. 1t APP
pears in the river bank at an average
depth Of about six feet below the surface,
and continues along the narrow strip Of
bottom land at the foot of the hills for .
distance Of fiycer six miles, when all trace
of it is lost, the current of the river hay
ing cut into the hills and entirely oblit-
Grated it. Like the West Virginia road,
the stone Of which it is formed seems TO
have been burnt. Along the entire
course. a. far IS il has been traced, II Is
discerniblc i'll the bank by a substlatum
of ashes which seem to be mixed with
particles of green stone, flint, and Occ;,-
sionaliy steatite. In depth the broken
stone varies from ten to eighteen inches.
The material employed appears TO be
boulders of red sandstone, which must
have been transported from some distant
part of the country, there being but little
if any of that character OF rock in that
neighborhood. In the vicinity OF Cabin
