what Bennett Proposes and what
the lime WIFE C0ss.

New YORK, Nov. l3.-- Tile Sun in lis
weekly review Of Wall street affairs, has
the following to say concerning james
Gordon Benefits new scheme: ''The
making and laying Of the cable are to cost
100000, Of which Bennett subscrihes
81, 900, 1000, and promises another million
if a second cable is necessary. The Total
capital is TO be raised to $4,000 ,O90 The
new cable is to be worked in connection
with the Baltimore & and Ohio telegraphic
system, and the Herald advises western
papers not to make any contract with the
Western Union until Bennett is ready TO
serve them on philanthropic principles
with his toy. But it is hard to see how
Bennett can offer anything like the faciIi-
ties which the Western Union now gives
to its customers al over the continent.
Apart from thai there is some doubt in the
minds Of conservative business men
whether he wilt persist ia his new take -
and Whether his new passion for cabling
may not evaporate as his love for polo,
soup kitchens, yatcIling and Artic explor-
ations has disappeared. +"

A circular letter from Henry B. Richardson,

other things he calls die early attention of the
| Police Jury to the important duty of providing
suitable ways and means for the repair, preser-
walton and protection of the public levees of
our parish. In case the ordinary means of the
| parish are too limited for this purpose. he re-
| 1882, provides method for raising such funds.
He points to the necessity of timely preparation
| for this work--its execution before the season
| of high water is not only demanded by eonsid-
arations Of economy, but is frequently essential
to doing it at all. He respectfully suggests the
propriety OF cutting out and reilling all srnli-
| carsed or defective rice fumes, and holes or
| leaks caused by crayfish or other burrowing
| animals the filing in of roadways and other
cuts in the levees; the restoring and securing OF
broken and decayed reyetnients and fascining;
t'e raising and treagtheaing of low and weak
places. He aisn suggests that it is desirable fer
tae Police Jury to establish and declare The
local danger line. as provided in Section 2 of

The man, who Of all the American
worthless was "frst in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts 6f his
countrymen,' was no less remarka:
BILE for industry than for his wisdom
and integrity. Happy were it if
the youths of America would, in
this respect, copy after the example
of one whose memory they SO de-
light to honor.
Few things are impossible to in
dustry skillfully directed. By il
men Of but middling talents rise
sometimes to deserved eminence;
by it the man of "small things" ex.
pands himself by little and little,
till he comes at last to, occupy a
respectable space in society; and by
it the face of the living world is IL
lumined and gladdened. What diff.
ficulties have been overcome, what
wonders have been wrought, and
what immense benefits have been
procured by the industrious appli.
cation Of the mental and corporal
powers of man On the other hand
no gifts of nature, or of fortune, can
supersede the necessity for industry.
Sloth is rust, that eats up the fin.
est ingredients Of genius and mars
and consumes the greatest of for.
tunes. He that is slothful of mind,
loseth bis mind instead of enlarg.

he increases in years. He that is
slothful in business, will at last have
neither business to do, nor anything
to sustain his declining age. In
