ThereIegraph Consolidation,

Albany, N. Y, 4.-The sttorney-gen-
eral has decided to take no action in the
matter of the petition for application to
him for 8 quo aOGTTG7lt0 against the con-
solidation of the telegraph companies.
The httOrney-general bases his decisions
upon Judge Barrett's, that the COM
panies have a perfect right, under the
law of 1870, to Consolidate. He therefore
decides the after is not one which the
department should interfere with.
New York, 4.-The Times, comment
ing on the speedy ratification of the con-
solidation agreed to by the telegraph
companies, yesterday, ssys it is in large
contrast with the dilatOrY conduct of the
senate at Albany, which postponed &C
ton on the bill passed in the assembly
on "Wednesday by referring it 70 q COM
mittee with view to hearing 1t some
time next week. This course sppears to
have been taken at the instance of the
counsel OF the telegraph companies and
for the purposes OF allowing the CONSOLE
dation 10 be fully effected. Herein the
senate has given one more evidence of its
subseryiency to the great corporations Of
the state when their interests come IN
conflict with those Of the people. Their Q
is little hope of protecting public interests
By fostering competition in the general
business of teleErsphy. A bill has been
introduced in the assembly limiting the
rale by law to the lowest point charged
by either company before the consolida-
ton which reminds US that the power of
the state to regulate the conduct of the
corporations which it has created, snd
upon which it has conferred valuable
franchises, still limits what may be done
in this dire Stion, and how effective II
may be made are questions for careful
consideration.
The consolidation of the telegraph
companies siren ethened the whole stock
imarket, and Western Union went 70

HOW HE TOLD THE TIME,

good story, told at the expense of a we'll
known ex-ludge is going the rounds of the law
yer's offices, and it is heartily appreciated by
those who best know the irascible but good
hearted disposition of the old gentleman 1t

The deposition of a sailor, who was soon to die.
had to be taken at his bedside in Brooklyn one
day last week. How long" the ex-judge
snapped out as the first question on cross-exami-
nation, do yOu think it was after the vessel left
the wharf before the collision Occurred?"
The sailor was himself something of a character
and not so near death but that he appreciated the
vital Importance of getting back on q cross-ex-
amining lawyer.
"Waal" he drawled out, ''bout ten minutes
l sd Judge"
"Ten minutes! Ten minutesm exclaimed the
lawyer, jumping up. Man, how long do vou
think ten minutes to be-"
jest bout ten minutes" was the mmuffied
reply.
How do yon generally measure ten mnutes?"
persisted the lawyer.
The old sailor turned slowly in bed and eyed
his questoner. Then he turned back again and
said indtferently: "Waal, sometimes wild watch
and sometimes wild claack."
This made the lawyer a little mad. He jerled
his watch from his pocket and said in aquerulous
high-pitched voice: Oh, you do, do you? Well,
I'll tell you when to begin, and you tell me when
ten minutes are up"
The sailor slyly winked at the lawyer on the
other side and he took in the situation in an in
slant and made no objection. The ex-judge
stood with his back to a mantel on which q little
clock was quietly indicating the time to the sailor
who lay facing it.
"Aye, aye" the sailor said, and remained
silent.
After three minutes had passed the ex-udge
became impatient and exclaimed, ''See here are
you going to keep here all day?' But the
sailor made no answer. As five and six and seven
minutes went by the lawyer became almost wild
in his assumed anger at the man for keeping
them so long beyond the time. But not until
the hand of the clock was on the exact notch of
ten minutes did the sailor speak. Then he said
carelessly: Guess the time mus be bout up"
The judge put up his watch and sank back in
his chair. 'Well,' he said 'Of all men, diving or
alive that | ever saw, you can measure time the
best
1t is said that the ex-J Judge does not even vet

remark of his.-N. y. Tribune

A SNUFF STORY.

Lundy Foot, the celebrated snuff manufacturer,
originally kept small tobacconist shop at LINER
ick On one night his house. which was uninsured,
was burned to the ground. AS he contemplated
the smoking ruins on the following morning in a
state bordering despair, some of the poor
neighbOrs, CROPPING among the embers for what
they could find, stumbled upon several canisters
of unconsumed, but half baked snuff which they
tried, and found it pleasant to their noses that
they loaded their waistcoat pockets with it.
Lundy Foot, aroused from his stupOr, initiated
their example, took pinch of his own property
when he was struck by the superior pungency
and flavor it had acquired from the great heat to
which it had been exposed Acting upon the
hint, he took another house in place called
Black Yard erected ovens and set about the
manufacture of that high-dred commodity which
soon became widely known as Black Yard snuff.
Eventually he took a larger house in Dublin,
and, making his customers pay literally through
the nose, amassed great fortune for having been
ruined.

THE BLOOD.

Never under any circumstances, (says the
Chicago Hour Glass, rub the limbs downward
The blood in circulation which can be reached
by rubbing is all venous or blue blood. 1t
is charged with waste and poisonous mate
rials, and is struggling to get to the heart
and lungs for publication. Always rub upward.
But few invalids, especially with female diff
culties, who will not feel a new life impaired to
them when this is tried for the first time Valves
are placed in the veins purpOsely to resist down
ward movement, while the stiff arteries, near the
bone, are without them. Clasp the wrist tightly
and see what multiple currents of poison start
out on the hand, while none appear on the arm
back of the igature. A life could be destroyed
in a short time by simply rubbing the limbs
downward; while you can almost drag the dead
out of the grave by rapid, persistent and general
rubbing of the limbs upward, if no lesion of the
vital parts has occurred In view of this, why
has it not been so stated in the hundreds Of
CORRECTIONS" for restoration of the dead from
asphyxia and syncope-as in drowning and heart
disease? Rubbing to and fro simply affects the
capillaries, doing little, if any, good. Artificial
respiration is beneficial, but only when it has
given impulse to the heart The best results
will be obtained by having as many as four Or
six persons rubbing the limbs spontaneously
(all alike-in rhythm while another manipulates
the chest and abdomen.

SINGULAR PHYSICAL PHENOMENON.

The unfortunate young man, George Rae, who
lost his arm from an accident received on the
New York and New England road a few weeks
since, has been seriously troubled by the cramp-
ing Of his fingers and arm on the side where there
was none. He felt the pain, although there was
no arm there, and he knew it, 4 friend of his
suggested the propriety of digging up the arm,
but he did not believe in the stories he had heard
about limbs troubling people after they were cut
off The limb was, however, exhumed and upon
examination it was found that the fingers were
cramped the same as he stated his were the
thumb projected out and the arm contracted.
corresponding precisely with his description OF
his fingers, Put in their proper place, the patient
was relieved Of the pain Immediately and has
suffered more with it since.-DaRbHry Dem

SEVEN OCEAN CABLES.

The month of August seems to have remark
able connection with transatlantic telegraphy
In the August OF 1857, the Agamemnon and the
Niagara, the British and the American govern
ment ships, set out from Valentia bearing the
$500 tons of the cable that was to connect this
country with Newfoundland. On the 11th OF
that month the cable parted, and after months OF
delay the ships reached their destination in Au-
gust, 1853 1t was on the 22d of that month that
the Queen passed to the American President, Mr..
Buchanan, the first telegraphic message that ever
went through the ocean. In the past month OF
August the telegram charges were reduced to
One-twentieth Of what they were. Seven cables
are at work on the bottom Of the Atlantic
One OF the seven companies by itself is worth
