The important announcement is made in
laying a new Atlantic cable has not only as
sumcd definite share, but that the money has
all been subscribed aud the cable is to be laid
at once. The person who is at the head of
this gigantic enterprise is James Gordon Ben
nett, proprietor of the Her0ld, which paper
contains a two-column editorial setting forth
the causes which have resulted in the deter
mination to build the new cable After assert
ing that Jay Gould-who is called the
"Mephisto of American monopolists'-
attempted to Illustrate the plans 10 lay
another cable across the Atlantic, by offering
to 'givc us more desirable contracts for
cheap cabling we should have facilities not
possessed by our ncighbors in short we need
only ask for what we wanted and it should
be granted" the HeraM continues Tempt
ing as these mysterious offers were we could
not prevail upon ourselves TO accept them.
In the first place we didn't want to have adj
vantagcs not open to our contemporaries,
aud in the second we had misgvings as to
the consequences of being led into tcmpta-
ton. We desire to say, for the information
of Mcphisto and his copartners in cable aud
telegraph monopoly, that the new cable lie
going to be laid and that messages will he go
ing through it next Summer; that it is be
built, not on credit, but for cash, thereby
saving its stockholders some one or two
million dollars, The money is now all sub
scribcd. The cable will be laid at much less
cost than any one of those now under control
OF the monopoly, because il is to be construc-
watering of stock and no middlcmcn TO peck

OF the original baby elephant, has re-
ceived from Barnum, Bailey & Hutch

and remind him that as part owner of

FORWARDING VEGETABLES.


Not few garden crops are ruined by
the early spring frosts. To prevent
this the american AgricuIturist makes
the following suggestions That the
sun warns the earth during the day is
a well understood fact {; that this heat,
or portion of it, is lost during the
night, is equally well known. Now, II
a portion Of the earth in which plants
are growing be warmed during the day,
and we prevent it from losing this heat
during the night, it is evident that
such plants will have great advantage
over those without such protection.
All our melons, cucumbers, squashes,
and other plants of that family, come
from tropical or warm countries, and
in order to yield the best returns in our
northern gardens, need every advantage
we can give them. Every one may not
find it convenient to start his cucum-
Der, melon, and similar seeds, on pieces
of sod, or in pots, IN hot-Ded OF
frame, but he may greatly hasten or
forward the same in the open ground.
All the expense or trouble required is
to make lot of frames, which can be
done by knocking out the bottoms OF
soap OF other boxes, and by tacking a
piece Of muslin or cotton cloth across
the top. Sow the seed in the usual
way, and every afternoon, when the
day begins to be cold-soon after three
o'clock, usually-turn these frames over
the "hills." This will hasten the ger
mination of the seeds, and when the
plants come up continue to protect them
in this manner. If a cold, windy day
occurs it will be better to leave these
covers on than to expose the plants to
the weather. The use of the covers or
frames may be continued until the
plants get too large for them. Not
only will plants thus treated be much
ahead Of those without such protection,
but they will also be largely preserved
from the attacks of the ''striped bug.

WE trust that none of our American
bellies will follow the latest freak of
fashion exhibited at the races at Nice
by fascinating Partisan actress. This
adventurous young lady appeared on
the course in a toilette Of light-colored
Sicilienne, embroidered in most artis-
tic manner with life-sized cats arranged
round the skirt. The bodice was plain,
with paniers, and at the back the ma
terial was so draped that two tabbies
came face to face, and seemed to be en-
gagged in mauling each other in the
most approved backyard fashion. The
effect was startling, to say the least,
and we venture to say that the wearer
was eminently successful in creating a
sensation.

EDITED BY W. G. T. Q.


Did the drinker Of spirituous liquors
ever calculate the cost of the indul-
gence, in dollars and cents ? Suppose
it costs only twenty cents day-a very
moderate estimate-this amounts to S73
a year. In ten years it would amount
to $4,000, and with simple interest
added at eight per cent, it would
amount to $7S8.40. Many a man has
built up prosperous business and be
come rich, on a capital much smaller
than that. Think Of it, young man,
YOU who are just attaining your major
ity, and remember that if you let the
glass alone, you will have at thirty
years of age, nearly 100000 more in
your pocket than you will have if you
drink only in moderation. This is
taking merely dollar and cent view OF
the subject, leaving the morals OF
drinking and the danger of becoming
an habitual drunkard entirely out Of
the question. Again we say to young
men, look at this matter and see if it is
not worth thinking about.-Lever.

A Boys LUCK.-The Norristown
(Pa.) Herald, in recent issue referred
among others, to the following cases of
special interest. They are their own
commentary. Mr. Samuel G. Nyce re-
sides at 308 Marshall street, and holds
the responsible position of journal clerk
in the Pennsylvania Legislature at
Harrisburg. While Mr.. Nyce and
family were in the country recently, his
boy, aged three years, fell and broke his
leg. He recovered, but very trouble
some stiffness set in and he could
scarcely use the leg. The injured limb
was rubbed several times with St.
Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness was so
much reduced that the boy was able to
use his leg freely. DR.. Knipe said it
was the use of st. Jacobs Oil that
cured the stiffness. Mr.. Nyce himself
used the Great German Remedy for
toothache with good effect, and also
for sprain and pains of rheumatic
nature, and always with good effect.
Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks the Oil
is a splendid thing, and she always
keeps it on hand.

And timed their quavers with the eyes
That gently rose and fell.

And held them in his own,
