IN the report of the directors Of the
American Bell Telephone Company,
read at the annual meeting Of the
stockholders in Boston on Tuesday, it
was said: I'VE and our associates
have the strongest motives for wish
ing to get wires under ground as far
and rs soon as it can be done without
destroying the eitisiency of the service.
But although short trunk lines work
fairly we'll beneath the surface, as
shown in Boston and elsewhere, in
the present state of the art ii is inn
practicable to put the bulk of the
wires under ground without interfer-
ing seriously with facilities upon
which the public are now getting TO
depend. Conversation over long lines
(those reaching the suburbs evenl is
difficult and often impossible to those
who are connected through the under
ground cables.

THE situation of affairs between
General Graham and OSman Digma,
as described in the latest London dis,
patches, is perfectly delightful. The
English general is satisfied that if he
could clear out Osman and his rebels.
now located few miles west of Sua-
kim, the march to Barber could be ac-
complished aud possibly some good
help might be forwarded to Gordon at
Khartoum. Meanwhile Osman is
more confident thar ever; promises
his followers victory next time, aud
is sure that the Mahdi and all the
tribes are bent on scalping Graham
and his followers. In the house of
commons Lord Randolph Churchill
menaces the British cabinet with the
threat that if General Gordon is kill
ed the ministry cannot remain in pow
er day. So Africa and London are
looking at each other. But neither is
inclined to strike decisive blow.

1T is believed that all ideas Of running
fast mail trains over the Rock Island
and ST. Paul roads have been abandon
ed, as they would not be paic for by the
government, and would only carry local

partment was on the express condition
that the former should carry all mails
going from Chicago to Council Bluffs,
Omaha. Atchison, Topeka, Leavenworth,
Kansas City and Denver, which gives it
the great bulk of the mail in the west.

SAN FRANCISCO was treated ID a very
alarming earthquake shock on the Goth
inst. that astOnished even some of the
oldest inhabitants. As described in one
dispatch, the first innmation was that
of an upheaval lasting about five sec
ond5. This was succeeded by a tremu-
lous movement, which was quickly fol-
lOv' ed by series of terrestrial waves so
violent as to test the most solidly-built
structure in the city. The earthquake
lasted about twenty seconds, the range
being northeast to southwest. An in
vestigation shows the lower part of the
city suffered the most, the houses being
built on made ground. Several large
buildings were seriously damaged, and
Wooden buildings, however, remain in
tact. No accidents to life are reported.
1t was the most serious shock since the
year 1868

The Presidency.

WAsHINGTON, April /. THE excite
ment here is growing quite intense
among the slate makers and slate
breakers of the presidency.
ARTHURS CHANCES
arc admitted on all hands TO be grow
ing small by degrees and beautifully
less. His do-nothing policy has not
worked as his friends had hored
Some Of his friends are culsing the
policy. They say that it is no longer
the rule that prominent and pro
nounced candidate stands any show

at least, allows his friends To

at his and their commands to accom-
plish the nomination. He has mani

to be deemed out of the foreground as
"a prominent candidate.
BLAINE's BOOM
has pushed to the front SO rapidly
within the past few weeks that 1t
threatens to upset the administration
plans. The tactics of Blaine are ad
mirable He holds constant levees at
his house in Lafayette square, which is
daily visited by politicians of all
grades and cOmplexlons. His hench-
men make it known that he is glad to
see and talk with all corners and no
Manson Blaine is the Mecca
10 which republican dervishes
and man worshippers make pill
grlmage, and they depart apparently
benefited by the alteration. Blaine
appreciates that these people cannot
freely visit the white house not the
abodes of cabinet officials to pour out
their plants President Arthur will
not talk and silence is the shibboIeth
of his constitutional advisers. Hence
the Blaine latch string hangs out for
all comers and, like the bee, he gath
ers honey from every flower.
Arthur as president can not be thus
accessible. HIS programme forbids it
and his office prevents it. He is cold
ly Indifferent; and this not only pre-
vents new friends from hocklng to
him but it repels his old friends, who
in the days OF his comparative obScur-
ity felt that they were his equal, and
who nov are compelled to look at him
as invested with that majesty which
pertains to the high office he holds.
LOGAN'S LEVELS
are immensely attended by motley
assemblage, but it is plain to every
one that his boom is on tle wane.
SECRETARY LINCOLN
is said TO be dsgusted and annoyed
that he should be SO popular for the
second place, and J ct have no follow
ing for the first 1t is said that the
marked newspapers sent TO him urging
him for the second place, are thrown
with sneer into the waste basket un-
read He is vexsd that his popularity
and the prestige of his fathers name
should be used to bolster up a ticket
which he is not deemed fit TO lead.
He is the unhappiest man in the list.
SECRETARY CHANDLER
is a soured man. His set backs in
New Hampshire, his failure 10 be the
Warwick of the administration, the
fact that he is distrusted by both
Blaine and Arthur, all combine TO
make him chafe under the feeling that
he is not on the inside in anybody
councils.

Here IS a beautiful IIltIe brIdIe TO
put on your tongue: Speaking the
trutr in love" If you hold it fast
your tongue will never make trouble
for YOU by scattering angry words
that are like sparks of fire, or false
words that are like the sting of pois-
onouS serpents, or unkind words that
are like the bite of cruel beasts
Speaking the truth in love" will not
let you say a word to wound the feel
ings of any one, or tell of their faults,
or try TO lift yourself up by pulling
any one else down. Speaking the
truth in love" will stop a great many
careless words and save great many
heartaches. 1t will help us to be the
peace makers, who Christ said should
be blessed
