Underground TelesraDhy.

system of laying telegraph and telephone
wires underground has been devised. and is now
being put into practice in New York city. An
excavation is made to depth of two feet along
the street. in which a wooden trough is laid
down The wires are placed in this trough, and
are then immersed in composition which CON-
mixture of powdered glass. parafine wax. resin
and linseed oil. 1t is melted, and poured while
hot into the trough containing the wires. When
1t cools this mixture becomes tough and hard; it
is impervious to moisture and is not affected by
change of temperature. The wooden trough is
not part of the permanent work; it is simply
mould to contain and shape the composition,
and may rot away without doing any harm. In
deed it is made of any common lumber. as its
purpose is only temporary; the composition being
the material which Is to protect the wires and
maintain their efficiency. The wires used are of
copper. with two coverings of cotton fabric
soaked in parahne wax. First, a half inch layer
OF the Insulating composition is poured into the
bottom of the trough; then eight wires are put
down three-eighths of an inch apart; then an
other half inch layer of the composition, and an
other row of wires, and on until the number
of wires needed are laid. Ii is claimed for this
system that it is much cheaper in first cost than
any OF those in use in foreign countries and that
besides. it does away with the necessity for re-
pairs; that it will outlast the present unsightly
system of poles; the maintenance i'm good work
Ing order costs comparatively nothing. and that
the wires can never be disturbed by storms 1t
Is to be hoped that this or some other under
ground system will be promptly adopted In all
the cities

The Southern Improvement Boom.

The immense undeyelOped wealth of the south
has at last attracted the attention of capitalists
and the enormous sum of 500. eco coo has been
subscribed for investment i'm that part of the
southern states lying east of the Mississippi river
and south of Richmond. This capital is mainly
owned in the northern states but some of it
comes from Europe. The chief investment is in
railroads. One syndicate called the Cincinnati
and Georgia. and organized with capital of

Chattanooga as the center which will extend
through all the southern states east Of the Mis-
sissippi river. Ex-senator Gordon is the head

Erianger syndicate, building railroads in Ala
boma and Mississippi; the Richmond and
Danville syndicate, the Louisville and Nash
Vile system, and the Baltimore and Ohio
system. all of which are extending their railway
connections and constructing new lines in the
south Contracts have been made involving the
expenditure Of ST. 800 900 in the next twelve
months upon railway lines already commenced
from the city of Atlanta to different points.

During the year 1880 $50 persons were killed
and 6es2 were injured on the railways of Great
Britain OF the killed $40 were employees and
Of the injured 1850 were employees, or about
one-third OF the entire number Of sufferers bv
railroad accidents We're persons employed by the
roads A large proportion of the injuries oc-
CURED in coupling and uncoupling ears. The
management of railroads in this country ia not
in all probability. any more regardful of human
life than that of Great Britain: and perhaps the
statistics OF Injuries there afford pretty fair
basis for an estimate Of those in the United
States 1t can be claimed, however. for the
railroads of this country that they make better
provision for their employees who are injured
and the families of those who are killed in the
railway service than the companies of the other
hemisphere. Most of the railroad companies of
the United States make it rule to support in
jured employees while disabled. and some of the
richest have established regular relief funds.
Every protection, however, that the law can
throw around employees of railroads and passen-
gers should be extended and rigidly enforced

Peace in the Family.

Curtis Andrews and his wife have lived together for sixty years in Caro- line County, Md, and have never quar- reled. When asked for the secret of their domestic happiness, the old man replied: "Well, l have always noticed that there is more trouble between man and wife over making the fire in the morning than anything else. If they can get along smoothly about that, everything else is smooth. My wife and I went to housekeeping together in our log cabin nigh fifty years ago. We've only got one fireplace, but that's @ big one. When we moved in I said to her, Sally, I'll make the fire and I'll tend to it. I made that fire, and it's been burning ever since. For nigh fifty years I've covered that fire before going to bed, and I've fixed it up in the morning. I've never had any matches in the house, and there are never any sulphur smells in the house. hold. While that fire burns, sir, there is peace in Curtis Andrews's home"

Qualities of Liquors.

Probably nine-tenths of the whisky norant of the nature of the collaborating fluids which they put into their mouths "to steal away their brains." This in- ference is based upon the accepted fact that nine.tenths of the whisky sold over the bars of the saloons of the country has never been distilled, and has, there fore, never rested within the portals of a bonded warehouse but, on the con- from spirits and essence. There are in reality two grand divisions of the popu- lar intoxicating beverages. The first is composed of the pure handmade li- quors which have been manufactured with extreme care, have been stored for the allotted time in the bonded ware houses, which are free from fusil oil and deleterious substances, and which are declared to be wholesome and health promoting.
 The second is composed of the liquors sold principally in the middle and lower class saloons, which are manufactured with spirit basis of drugs and chemi- calls, and which are declared by some to be decidedly unwholesome and injurious to the human organism, while others hold an opposite opinion of their eff fects. The two divisions are separate and distinct in themselves, and bear only the most remote relation to each other,

X Jury of One.

The Albany Laa0 Journal tells this singular story: You remark that jury of one man might be better than twelve, because he could never disagree. This reminds me of the anecdote of case of the kind in justices court. A jury had been demanded, but there was difficulty about getting jury together. One juryman had appeared and it was finally agreed by the court that they would try the case by jury of one. Accordingly the case was tried and the jury (of one) retired to consult of their verdict under the charge of an officer. After waiting an hour or two the jury were called into court to see if they had agreed on their verdict, and the fore man informed the court that they had not agreed and that there was no pros pect of their agreeing. And the court sent the jury out again, and waited two or three hours longer for the result, when they were again called into court, and they informed his honor that they had not agreed and that there was no prospect of any agreement. The hour being late the jury was then discharged without verdict. This may have been farce, but if it was, it was no more so than one-half of our jury trials.

An Unfortunate Deserter.

Nadawezin, German cavalry soldier, having deserted from his corps some months ago, was recently found in the village where his family lived, and 8 subordinate officer, accompanied by 8 private, was sent to take him in custody. The two returned in due time, and brought their man, only it was horri- ply mutilated corpse they had in charge instead of a stalwart living soldier. The story they told was that they had tied thier prisoner to one of their saddles, and compelled him to walk alongside. On the way he had taken hold of his keepers boot, either through weariness or to keep up with his captors, and in so doing brought the spurs in contact with the horses side. The animal reared, threw him down, and becoming unmanageable, ran away, dragging him after it. Investigation showed that both the officer and his companion were drunk at the time. They were sentenced to short term of imprisonment in a fortress. The occurrence is commented upon as another illustration of the hu- mane treatment which makes the young men of Germany so anxious to become soldiers in tho German army. f.-~.

A Canadian Romance.

Many years ago 8 young man made his appearance in Stratford, and spent a few weeks at the tavern which then ex- isted, to afford shelter to stage coach travellers. Whence he came and what his business none could guess.
 Directly opposite the tavern stood the small cottage and forge of blacksmith named Folsom. He had daughter, who was the beauty of the village, and it was her fortune to captivate the heart of the young stranger. He told her his love, said he was travelling incog., but in confidence gave her his real name, claiming that he was heir to large for tune. She returned his love, and they were married 8 few weeks after.
 The stranger told his wife that he must visit New Orleans. He did so, and the gossips of the town made the young wife unhappy by disagreeable hints and ieers. In few months the husband re- turned but before week had passed he received large budget of letters, and told his wife that he must at once return to England, and must go alone. He took his departure, and the gossips had another glorious opportunity to make confding woman wretched. To all but herself it was clear case of de- sertion. The wife became a mother, and for two years lived on in silence and hope. By the end of that time letter was received by the Stratford beauty from her husband, directing her to go at once to New York, with her child, talk ing nothing with her but the clothes she wore, and embark in a ship for home Ill England.
 On her arrival in New York she found a ship splendidly furnished with every convenience and luxury for her comfort and two servants ready to obey every wish that she might express. The shiE duly arrived in England, and the Strat ford girl became mistress of mansion and, as tho wife of baronet, was So luted by the aristocracy as Lady Samue Stirling. On the death of her husband many years ago, the Stratford boy sue ceeded to the title and wealth of hi father; and, in the last edition of "Peer age and Baronetage," he is spoken of a the issue of " Miss Folsom of Stratford North America"

A PIucky Boy.

Freeman z. Ray, boy only nine- teen years old, died at Denver. Col, on December 31 from the effects of bull let wound in the head inflicted some fifteen months before. One day in September, 1879, young Ray, who was employed on cattle ranch about forty five miles north of the White River Agency, was attacked by band of twenty Indians and was driven for shel- ter to a large wagon. Here he main tained his position single-handled agains the Indians, but his ammunition finally gave out and while attempting to get more he fell pierced with two bullets. He succeeded in getting his ammuni- tion, however, and from behind breast work of bags of four and beans he main tained the unequal contest until the Indians gave up the fight in disgust. As they left they fired final volley, one of the rife balls striking young Ray in the right eye and coming out under the left ear. He so for recovered from his wounds that in July last he was given charge of the Union Stock Yards at Denver.

SWindling Lotteries.

In his annual message Governor Cor nell, of New York, takes strong grounds against lotteries, which are swindling the people of the State to so large an extent. He says: "The constitution provides that no lottery shall be organ ized or the sale of lottery tickets allowed within this State. Laws designed to enforce this constitutional mandate have been duly enacted, but have proved in- sufficient to accomplish the purpose. They have been openly and fiagrantly violated, and millions of dollars have been annually extracted from the earn ings of the poor. The victims of this iniquitous traffic are mainly of 8 class needing the protection of the strong arm of the law, and it is to be regretted that more vigorous efforts are not made in their behalf. With ample constitu- tional authority available to remove this scandalous evil it is the duty of the Legislature to frame such laws as will be effective in accomplishing the desired object.

Relics of Aboriginal Art.

George V. Morrow, farmer of Mo ravia, Pa., was working in stone quar- ry on his farm few days since. He had removed a large quantity of earth and stone and reached the surface of the rock to be quarried, when he came upon 8 large number of round stones, different from any found in the ne1gh- borhood. Two were from six to eight inches in diameter. They were laid so as to inclose regular oblong space six feet long and two feet wide. This space was filled with earth entirely unlike that surrounding and covering the quarry. MT. Morrow removed the earth, which was foot deep. He found beneath it ball of pure lead, weighing eight pounds; 8 number of curiously- formed instruments and figures, made from the hardest specimens of rock, and hundreds of flint arrow heads, spear heads, and axes. The relics filled bushel basket No human remains of any kind were found. The singular deposit was four feet below the surface.
