A WORLDWIDE SYSTEM,

y But the success of that first
Atlantic telegraph in 1853, brief
though it was, had demonstrate dthe
possibility Of crossing tho ocean,
and SO led tho way for all after
triumphs in deep soa telegraphy.
1t had proved that q cablo over two
thousand miles long could be laid in
water over two miles deep. After
that nothing seemed impossible.
Cables wero laid in tho Meditorra-
mean, in tho Red Sea and the Per-
sian Gulf, and thonco across the
Arabian Sea to India, and across the
Buy of Bengal to Burmab, and
down the Malayan Peninsula
to 'enang Singapore, and up tho
Eastern coast of Asia to China, and
across to Japan, while southws. d
lines were carried to Java, and
across that island and SURROUNDING
seas to Australia and to Now Zen
land. In this Western Hemisphere
cables were laid to Cuba and the
other West India Islando, and down
the coast of South America to Brazil
and the Argentine Confederation.
,oHERIsHED MEMORIES.
Thus, within quarter of Gen.
tury, submarine telegraphs have
been carried across almost all the
seas and oceans of the globe Except
the broad Pacific, which remains to
be conquered), bringing into close
communication all parts of the
civilized world. Many who bore OH
honorable part in these great acbiev..
ments have passed away. Their
memory is cherished by their sur
viyors, who find many stirring recol-
lections recalled whenever thoy meet
together, as they will continue to
40 SO long as any of those who
were actors in these scones shall
remain upon the stage.

ST.. THOMAS, February II, 1S79.-
The reports by the steamer to-day arc
very conflicting. From the govcri,-
mcnt'Sldc there is the following "a
severe light had taken place uG Huarc-
mas, and Generals puiioo and .tzala
La Victoria resulted in the defeat OF
General Ccdcnos, with q loss OF five
hundred men. General Colina has left
Coro with three thousand men to aid
the government against those pro-
claiming in favor OF General Guznun
BiancO. Luciano, with fonr thousand
men, has marched on Aragua TO Join
Falcria against Ccdcnos.
Caracas is quiet, and the adhcrcnts
Of Guzman arc fleeing and hiding.
On the other hand, it is reported
that the revolution is in full blast.
J'hc steamer Bermuda was chartered
by the government to take two COM
mlsSioncrS to CorU. She arrived on
January %, but found Coina had left
on the 23d, and that nothing was
known of his whereabouts. The
Dlockading fleet from Alaracaibo,
which consists Of five schooncrs and
steamer, warned the Bermuda Off,
and she had to leave, having, however,
landed the commissioners. Coro is
surrounded by tho adhcrcnts Of
GuZmau.
General Valera was shut up in Vic
toria by General Ccdcnos, and all
communication with Caracas had been
cut of. The wires were cut and
Crcspo's and Ccdenos' troops were
between the places. It is reported
that Modancta, the provisional head of
the government, has informed General
Valera that ne would only act as
President until the arrival Of Guzman
Blanco.
EX-Presidcnt Guzman declares that
he only comes to quiet the country,
and will not accept the Presidency.
The steamer Maracaibo is expected
here to take Guzman to Venezuela.
La Guairo is totally undcfcndcd.
The general tone Of the country is said

ORIGIN OF TIE ENTERPRISE.
We are SO familiar with the use
Of the telegraph across tho ocean
that wo arc apt to forget hoNw recent
q thing it is and that the originators
of tho great enterprise are still
among us. II is only a quarter of
u century since the project was first
conceived. Tho 10th OF March,
1854, is tho date Of it's birth, and SO
of tho birth of u deep sea teleg~
raphy. On that day was signed
the agreement "to establish line
OF tclegraphic communication be-
tween America and Europe by way
Of Newfoundland" The company
WAS formed in a private house
that OF Mr. Cyrus W. Field-and
composed Of but five individuals :
Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor, Cyrus
W. Field, Nlarshal O. Roberts and
Chandler White; Mr.. David Dud-
Icy Field was present as the legal
advisor Of the company, and went
with his brother and Mr.. White to
ST, Johns to obtain the. charter.
Mr.. White soon after died, and was
succeeded by Mr.. Wilson G. Hunt.
These five gentlem Ell ..arG all still
living, to SEQ tho great results of
the experiment then first made to
carry tho telegraph across tho ocean.
Small attempts had been made in
Europe to transmit messages under
water--iirst across the River Rhine,
but half mile wide, and next
across the British Channel. The
first attempt to unite England and
France was made in 1850. A cop
per wire covered with gutta percha
was laid between Dover and Calais,
naout twenty-one miles, but commu-
nication was kept up but for very
brief period. The next year it was
replaced by n caLlo Of four wires,
which is still perfect. A few other
sea cables wcro. laid, but only in
shallow water and for short dis :
tnnces-the longest, that to Holland,
being but one hundred and thirty
miles, and in wafer only q few
fathoms deep. This American
company was tho first to propose to
span the ocean. AS soon as the
.line had been completed to News
foundland Mr. Cyrus W. Field went
to London, and there, in 1856, or>
ganized the Atlantic Telegraph
Company.

BEECAER ON TEMPERANCE.

Mr.. Bsecher has had an opportu-
nifty to express his mind freely upon
the subject of Temperance. The
salient points Of the address were as
follows:
'The drinking usages of society
Dripg greater amount Of evil than
all other causes put together. 1t
was therefore the obvious duty of
society to defend itself. If the
waves of the ocean threatened to
break over their natural bounds and
inundate the island, would they not
initiate the Hollanders and build
dykes and levees to keep out the
ocean? Or, if there be a plague,
such as the yellow fever or cholera,
would they not sweep a Gordon
around it, or quarantine it in order
not to let it on the community? That
was the case with the drinking usages
Of society. What should society do,
therefor? First, they would look at
one or two things attempted to stay
the evil of intemperance. 1t
had been attempted to regulate the
sale OF the mischief in the community.
In other words, there was a malaria
in the community. 1t came from a
great swamp yonder. AS fast as
men were attacked, they take them
to quarantine. Some said drain the
swamp, as that would save their fel-
lows, that it would be the most ra.
tional method. They propose to
drain the swamp, and yet allow the
source of the evil to remain in the
manufacture and sale Of intoxicating
drinks. There never was a princi.
pie more justified by reason and NOR.
ais than what was called the Maine
law. 1t stood on foundations of ada.
mant, in SO far as philosophical and
moral considerations were concerned.
One thing they saw about that law
was that it was far in advance of the
public sentiment; and could not be
practicable now. 1t will take time
to 60 it, but the time will come when
it will be practicable, but that would
under the glorss of the millennium.
1t was right in principle. That which
the law could not do, through the
weakness of the flesh may be accom-
,lishsd. Local option was another
meth d suggested to abate the evils
, 1879-05-01

Of intemperanye. Lo al option pro-
posed to give every community the
privilege Of decIarisg by vote every
year, whether alcoholic drinks shall
or shall not be sold in their neighbor.
hood, whether it be city, district
of city, or county. That was
feasible measure. In other words,
that plan would work we'll in COM
munitiss where public sentiment had
advanced far enough and had correct
ideas of local sovereignty. They
could vote down the sale Of liquors,
but in the purlisus Of great cities it
would not meet with success. 1t
would not work in BROOKLYN, New
York, Syracuse, Rochester or Buffa.
10. They then fall upon a third
method, namely, vigorous license
law, by which they would exclude
the worst sellers as far as possible
and put the sale Of intoxicating
drinks into the hands Of men Of some
discretion, but it instantly loses the
object by leaving an incentive to the
surreptitious sale of the article.
There would be yet a great some.
thing required to make such law
efficient. Look at the condition Of
things in the great cities; literally
hundred and thousands Of men and
women were being changed from ra.
tional creatures, under the prevail
ing sentiment Of conscience and rea.
son, into brutes and animals, trans
ferring them into swine. There
were 100000 swine in New York and
Brooklyn, made so by alcoholic
drinks. If it actually made them in
to swine it would be change for the
better; but no, they had souls to
save, they had affections, they owed
duties to the household, and duties
to their community and country.
Yet they we're animalized by drink,
and grunt and root at the very bot
tom of society. They had laws in
Brooklyn and New York, which, if
executed, would regulate to a con-
siderable extent, the traffic in drink,
but those laws were void. There
was not public sentiment enough to
strengthen the arms of men to exc
cute them"
Thus Mr.. Beecler proclaimed him
self a friend of prohibition, when
practicable. His remarks with ref
erence to the Maine law were un-
doubtedly true as to the principles
underlying it, but the remark, "the
time will come whan it will be prac-
ticable, but that would be close un-
der the glories of the millennium"
rather defeated itself, from the fact
that for some years the Maine law
has been practicable in the home of
its birth, and we haven't seen the
edge of the so.called millennium yet.
His rsmarkswell repay study.
