TeIegranhic Cable Incidents.

The work in the operating room at
Hearts Content, N. F., has brought
out a number of curious facts about
cables and cable operating. For in
stance, New York city sends and re-
ceiyes about two-thirds of all the cable
business Of the United States. Phila-
delphia comes next, then Chicago :;
whine some of the smaller Southern
cities, with their messages relating to
cotton sales, outrank more Northern
cities like Boston, Baltimore, st. Louis
or Cincinnati. 1t amazes the telep-
raphers there to tell them of the i'm
portance Of places like New Haven.
Albany, Troy or Buffalo, from which
the cable business is so small that in
the Hearts Content station they are
supposed to be little towns. The
present price Of a amessage is fifty cents
a word. Yet, few years ago, when
competition reduced the rate to twelve
cents, the increase in the number of
cable messages was relatively very
small. But as the competition was
comparatively brief, the test of CHEAP
rates can scarcely be called fair one.
As showing the Importance Of choosing
steady men in cable work, the example
is cited Of a subordinate at Valentia
charged With the duty of making GER
tain complex connections with TIE
wires there. One day he became in
toxicated, and, as no one knew the
intricate connections, communication
between two continents was wellnigh
stopped for a large part of a day until
a drunkard could recover from his
spree.

A Story of the Swiss Minister.

A Washington correspondent writes:
The following incident is related of
Emil Frey, the new Swiss minister
here, who was captain in the Eighty
second Illinois volunteers during the
war. The new Swiss minister re-
Gently arrived in this city. Mr.. Emil
Frey was confined in Libby prison at
one time, it will be remembered, as
hostage for the Confederate Captain w.
j. Gordon, condemned to death by a
Federal court martial. President Lin
coin, upon being so informed, STAYED
the execution Of Gordon, and the then
Captain Frey, of the Eighty-second
Illinois volunteers, now the first
minister plenipotentiary from Switz-
erland to the United States,
virtually saved Gordon's life, who was
soon afterward sent to Richmond by a
flag Of truce, and in return Captain
Frey was released. This morning
Captain Gordon, who is soiourning in
this city, called on Minister Frey, and
the two saw each other for the first
time. As may be well supposed the
meeting was highly interesting to both,
and to ali who CHANGED to be present.
There was mutual interchange of ex-
periences during the prison life of each,
and recital of the fearful suspense
both We're subjected to for a time.
They separated, evidently highly graft
ned to have personally met each other
after an interval Of seventeen years,
when the life Of one depended on that
of the other, and under circumstances
SO changed. Mr.. Frey on his return
to Switzerland was compelled to re-
naturalize himself, which he did, to
become president of the Swiss council.
He is also major-general in the Swiss
armV

COnll Break OF.

When a certain family on the Brush
farm took a new cook last month it
was specifically stated and understood
that she was not to have any men
hanging around the kitchen. She
held to the agreement for three or
four nights, and then the family dis
covered that she had beau. He came
regularly every night after that, and
three or four nights ago the colonel
was at the back gate waiting for him.
When the young man appeared, the
colonel threw Il whole iceberg into his
tones as he inquired
"Well, sir, did you come here to
spark ?"
=" l did," was the calm reply.
In love, are you?"
Eyes, sir"
"Who with?"
"Sarah, the cook"
"Oh, 1 didn't know but you loved
one of my daughters" sneered the
colonel.
"No, l don't at present" said the
man as he seemed to catch a sudden
idea, "but the thing hasn't gone so far

Romantic story.

An Innsbruck Germany correspond.
ent Of the Boston Advertiser tells this
story:
In the Silver chapel is the tomb and
marble efllgy of that beautiful woman,
Philippina Weiser, whose photograph
you see in all the shop windows of
Innsbruck. Her eyes were divine, it
is said, dark blue, her hair golden chest
nut, and the skin so transparent that
the ''red wine could be seen as it ran
down the lovely throat" In the pho
tograph her beautiful face rises up like
a lovely flower Out-of high ruff, SUI
perb ieweled collar with pendant jewels
is bound close about the high-mounting
neck of the rich dark velvet robe, the hair
is parted and rolled back from high,
broad, intelligent forehead that has
nothing Greek about it, but is a clear,
good, Anglo-SaXOn brow on the head
is net-cap made of small gold rosettes,
with pearls and a ieweled border around
it. The arch of the delicate eyebrows
is perfect the eyes have a bewitching
expression that is both courageous and
pleasing she had a shapely nose, a
lovely mouth and chin, and an express
sion of dignity, refinement and gentle
ness perfect womanly loveliness
characterize this pictured semblance Of
woman who was the most beautiful of
her day, and whose romantic history has
inspired many poet and dramatist She
was the daughter of rich Augsburg
banker. Ferdinand, nephew of Charles
v, fell madly in love with her, and
they were married secretly. She was
the mother of two sons, whose por-
traits you can see at Schloss Ambras,
the charming castle on the NGittelge-
birge mountain slopes, a short distance
from Innsbruck, where Philippine
and Ferdinand spent their long, happy
married life. The Emperor Ferdinand
was naturally very angry at this mar
riage, but during one of his visits to
Innsbruck the lovely woman came
with her two young boys and begged
him to forgive her. History tells
pretty, touching story, how he had only
to look at Philippine to justify his
son. When Ferdinand the emperor
died she lost her best and most pow
erful friend. Her mother-in-law was
forever tauntiDg her. So one morning
the poor woman lay down in her bath
tub and drowned herself, in order that
her dear husband might marry a royal
wife. You can see the bathroom at
Schloss Ambras, but the custode denies
the legend, am happy to say. and 1
am unwilling to believe it. Her hus-
band, the Count Of Tyrol, mourned her
loss. Tradition says he was frantic
with grief, and built the beautiful
Silberne chapel, where each lie buried.
True, he married again only two years
after her death, and his second wife
was of his own rank, the daughter of
Duke William, of Mantua; but he
never lived again at Schloss Ambras.

Consumption has hitherto been re-
garded as a disease of the lungs, which
cannot be reached directly except by
inhalation, and the value of that form
of medication is problematical. A
new theory of the disease, called the
Salisbury theory, makes it one of un-
healthy alimentation. According to
this view, it is the fermenting of food
in the stomach which furnishes to the
circulation noXious material that
affects the lungs on reaching those or
gans. Granting the truth of the
theory, we shall have to con-
slider consumption as durable. All
that needs to be done is to use only
such food as viii not ferment in the
stomach, and to clean out that organ
occasionally by judicious use of warm
water, with simple tonics before meals
to aid the digestive process. A weak
solution of ferric per sulphate IS recon-
mended for inhalation to check hemor-
rhage in the severe stage of the disease.
The idea is well worthy the attention
of the many who are supposed to be in
the initial stages of consumption. 1t
would be an inestimable boon if it be
the means Of saving them, to say
nothing OF the many others whose cases
are otherwise hopeless.

A little incident of Hungarian Grim
mal procedure shows that after all
torture is not so obsolete as was sup
posed. The facts are stated by legal
adviser of the prisoners in a memorial
to the minister, and they show how
agreeably a commissary Of police in
Hungary combines business and amuse-
ment. His business being to extract
confessions, the criminal is hung up
by his feet, or if woman, issuspended
over the fire, when the required infor-
nation is at once communicated. All
this is forbidden by the law of the
country, but still it goes on.

William F. Cody, better known as
@Buffalo Bill" believes that General
Custer killed himself, when he saw
that death was inevitable, in preference
30 being killed by the Indians. He
gives the following reason for this be-
lief: "The Indians win not mutilate
a body which they find dead, and Cen
eral Clusters was the only one that
was not scalped and otherwise cut to
pieces or burned. My impression is
that he, after seeing all his command
shot down, and that he himself must
also go, turned and took his own life
rather than be killed by the savages.
was in General Crooks command that
soon after arrived upon the scene, and
although Custer went into the fight
with seven companies, and had 300
men killed, l am satisfied he would
never have given the Indians battle
had he not thought reinforcements
were near at hand. Some time after
the engagement an Indian warrior told
me that Custer was the last man to
fall, and killed himself. Had Custer
been given entire command of the
troops he would have whipped the In
dians instead of being crushed by
them. They did not recognize Custer
after he was shot, as he had a few
months previous cut off his long hair. "

The Duke de Santona, a Spanish
grandee of the first class, has just died
at Madrid, leaving an enormous for
tune to his only daughter. He was of
obscure Cuban birth, and once fol
lowed the hatter's trade. At this he
acquired great wealth and was ever
ready to spend large sums in behalf of
the Alphonist party in all political
contests, even while Alphonso was yet
mere cadet at the military academy,
with only the slimmest chance of ever
reaching the throne. So, when at last
the young prince did become king, he
remembered gratefully the devoted fol-
lower who had rendered him such sig
nal services. He gave him opportuni-
ties of largely increasing his fortune,
made him Duke de Santona, and, at
his death, occupied a place among the
chief mourners.

sheep in the United Kingdom leads the
English press to a discussion of its
causes and the remedies needed In
1874 there were nearly $4,000, 600 head
of sheep. In 1877 the number had
FALLEN to 32,000,000, and since then the
decrease has gone on without abate-
ment until at the present time the
number is estimated at only 2S,000,-

In regard to the manner in which
the Chinese are sweeping California
waters of fish, the San Francisco BuJ-

disclose the fact that fish of all kinds
are taken in nets and afterward dried
for both Chinese home and foreign con-
sumption, that range from one-half
inch to three inches in length by an
eighth of an inch to one-half an inch
around the largest part of the body.
They are to be seen, day in and day out,
after being dried, in large baskets,
ready for shipment or consumption, at
every fshstand of the Chinese. The
fish are not confined to any distinct
species, but are of innumerable classes.
