in this work for some weeks. The balance
Of this line viii be laid at once, and in

munication between America and
Europe viii be opened to the public.
Tie other strand viii be laid during the
summer and it's American terminus win
be at New York city. The European ter
minus for both strands is Valencia, Ire

The first cable was laid between Europe
and America a very little more than
twenty-five years ago. Now hundreds Of
thousands Of miles Of cables traverse the
different oceans, seas and lakes of the
world, and connect with almost every
important commercial point.
Up to this time the different America
European cable companies have been
able by combinations TO keep up the
most exorbitant rates The Bennett
and Maokey combination promises
that their enterprise viii break
the power Of the mon0pOIsts and result
in the placing Of the tariff at rates
which every one will acknowledge
TO be reasonable and fair. The men who
are backing the enterprise have ample
means. and they assert positively that
they VIII enter into a healthy competition
with existing lines al as early day As
possible. and that they will neither be
driven of or bought OF from their pur-
pose. It IS to Re hoped when the hour Of

probable that the Republicans at
Chicago would nominate Robert Lincoln
and William Walter Phelps. That would
be a ticket that would take the dudes by
storm. Lincoln has little to recommend
him except his fathers great name, and
Phelps prominence rests almost wholly
upon his wealth. Lincoln, however,
wears his whiskers parted in the latest
English style and Phelps wears his hair
artistically banged. Lincoln and Phelps
would make a ticket that would afford
Puck's artists infinite opportunities to

ticket Mr.. Halstead has subjected himself
