THE Chicago TSmes has the following
from Gulena: II may be- authoritively
stated that General Grant has about
completed arrangements which will
make necessary his living in New York
City. He has been rendered position
which he has accepted conditionally,
that will compel the change Of residence
mentioned. The Times correspondent is
not permitted TO state the nature of the
business that is to occupy Grants at
tention, but full particulars will no
doubt be given. The ex President s
trip to New Mexico was one involving
an investigation OF the enterprise that
he has been called upon to manage, aud
was not one of pleasure as reported
lie WAS accompanied to Los Vegas by
interested parties who joined him at
Kansas City. His early return to Ga
l-nn is looked for, and that he will
make immediate arrangements to re-
move TO NV York on his arrival, may
be regarded ns certain.

\ AT the last meeting Of the Chicago
Electrical Society, paper on submarine
cables was read by the President Of the
society, q, w. Fslton, by special request,
the paper having been read at meeting
Of the society in May, 1879. After stat
ling that he should not undertake to en-
Tighten the scientific mind, but rather to
furnish information of a general nature,
he referred to the knowledge which the
anciehts possessed of scientific matters,
much of which has been simply repro
duecd In the modern mind. He then
paid some attention to the invention Of
the system of telegaphy, ,pronouncing 1t
the greatest invention Of modern times.
He said that the idea that the wires
should he better protected than a. they
hung upon poles gave rise to the expert
ments which led ultimately to submarine
X i54s' pro6 Jaooby, Of 81 Peters
burg, conceived the idea of burying the
wires in the ground. 1t was not until
|lsH that a gutte.penhs covering fet the
wine secured insulation In 1850 the
first cable was laid between Dover and
Calais across the English Channel, but
this was not successful In the following
year the gutta-percha covering was pro-
tected by iron wine, and the cable worked
successfully. In 1884 Mr.. Cyrus w.
Field projected the Atlantic cable, con-
Meeting Ireland and New Foundland, and
the first cable was successfully laid on
August 9Th, 1856, at cost OF $1,25O,-
600. 'i .''.. ,''. R'n
There, are two conditions necessary to
the success of laying and working of
cables-the absence Of current and a
level bottom. A submarine cable con-
sists usually Of an inner core Of seven
wires, one of which is straight, and the
others are wound spirally around it.
This is covered with gutta-percha, which
is itself again covered with compound
of gutta-percha, tar and rosin; over this
are woven hempen strands, soaked in tar
and pitch, the whole being wound about
with iron wires. Cables are liable to the
assaults of insects, hence, later, they
have been covered with q wrapping Of
brass. Precaution needs to be taken in
securing great strength near the ap-
proaches to the shore; that Of the Allan
tic cable, for example, has resisting
power Of fifty tons. ~..e .es
There are $40 submarine cables, the
total length Of which is 63,990 nautical
miles. The greatest depth Of the Allan
tic cable is 17,700 feet. Mr.. FELTON, re-
ferred to some Of the leading cables and
gave their, connecting points. A com
plete electrical circuit of tine globe would
neeessitate the laying of a cable beneath
the Pacific Ocean. This might be
worked in three divisions-from San
Francisco to Honolulu, from Honolulu
to Midway Island, and from Midway
Island to Yokohama, Japan. aear, H

ing dangers; he marched straight up to
them. One day he heard that market
riot had broken out, and that the popu-
lace had risen against the inspectors and
the "meu in blue" or gendarmes. The
Car jumped into his sleigh, drove
straight to the scene of the conflict,
harangued the rioters, and salled upon
the ringleaders to give themselves up.
The ringleaders surrendered without a
murmur, and were probably all trans
ported, for the Gar was no sentimental
ist, and showed little magnanimity in
dealing with rebels. .a t,r.. Ia.
On another occasion Nicholas heard
that Professor Of tho University of st.
Petersburg was eonspiring against his
life, proof of this offense having been
obtained through letters seized at the
Post-ofice. The Gar wrapped himself
in his furred cloak and set out on foot to
call upon the Professor, who almost
swooned at the sight Of him. "Shut the
door, said the Emperor quietly, as he
walked in. "Tell me who your accom-
pliees are and give me all your papers, OF
| shall have you knouted." A Sovereign
of this sort was quite fit to hold his own
over nation of slaves; and it is no won
der that the homage bestowed upon him
was always most fulsOme. The Russians
felt that they had in Nicholas a ruler
who did not fear them, who knew all
their weak points, and was, in fact, their
master. . 7i '''' ''''''A % ','. ', 'e y

self, .began-.his reign by estranging the
nobility; and when he had made himself
popular with the lower classes BY the
emancipation of the serfs, he tried to get
reconciled to the sristocracy by keeping
down The people. This vaeillatipg policy
pleased nobody; and now the Gar is
trusted neither by the upper nor the
lower class. The former think him weak
and the latter disingenuous, whereas he
is simply bewildered; and yet the name
Of Czar has such magic ii Russia
still that if Alexander II had the
nerye to show that he did not care for
assassins the attachment of his people
would probably afford him better
guard against the Nihilists than any
which the people can furnish. It all
comes to this, that in O. apdespotic state a
sovereign must prove that he sets. light
store by his life; when he is self,confi-
dent, his people will confde in him /;
when he trembles, or appears to trsmble,
his SUBJECTS will feel their faith in him
shaken and will not think his case worth
serving, since he himself seems to dis
trust il. 4si ''''...'tH n- .'- .s1'H fH'

Mr.. Trelawny informed me that Ge-

Their tall, straight stems, forty feet
high, rose at equal distances one from
