THE new OCEAN CABLE.

The Cable Steamer Faraday Arrives at
Rockport, Mass.
GLOUCESTER, May 22.-The steamer
Faraday has arrived at Rockport and is
proceeding to connect the cables. She
was greeted by 1000 people with can
non salute. The shore end was landed
and will be connected with the section
previously buoyed $50 miles east of
Rockport. The citizens rendered a re-
ception to the officers, but they de-
clined till the cable shall be completed.
When the Faraday steams away this af-
ternoon she will proceed to the buoy $50
miles northeast of this place, where she
will splice the cable, thus making a
complete circuit from Dover Bay to
Rockport, She will then steam thirty
miles east of Dover Bay to take up and
splice the shore-end laid from Dover
Bay towards the Irish coast. When
this splice shall have been made
she will sail to Ireland, paying out
1000 miles of the deep sea
section. She will then buoy the end Sec
ton and proceed to London for the re-
mainder of the deep sea section. After
taking this on board she will go back to
her buoy and finish the deep section to
the Irish coast.

One of the Hundred Succeeds,

A singular little story came out re-
Gently in the orphans court at Phila-
delphia in the settlement of the execu-
tors account of the estate of Wolfgang
Kuenzlig, deceased. The decedent
died March IL, 1881. His will was
probated three days later. He left
about $1,100. He provided that it
should all be given to his son, who had
gone away from him, if the boy should
make claim within three years. If
not then the little fortune should go to
the dead mans sister in Germany. The
missing heir was widely advertised for
in English and German newspapers.
Nothing was heard of him until within
few weeks of the end of the time,
when letter was received from far
mer in bennington, setting out that
young man answering the description
of the heir had formerly lived in that
neighborhood but had gone West. The
farmer was written to, but could give
no more definite information. The
court, neverless, decided that as the
heir had been heard from it could
properly extend the time for his appear
dnco III person.
The counsel for the estate, in de-
spair of obtaining any exact information
as to the heirs whereabouts, copied from
q postofice directory the names of
hundred postmasters of small western
towns, and sent letter to each one,
containing inquiries about the much
sought-for heir. Saturday he received
two letters in reply. One was from the
postmaster at Ackley, L, telling him
that the heir had been found. The
other was from the heir himself, giving
history of bis wanderings and of his
family relations and affairs. The court
was informed of these facts, and the
lawyer was told that he might have all
the time he required to bring a pleas
ant end to the little romance.

A "COmplexiOnist."
from the New York Mail and Express.

From the New York Mail and Expressl
Strolling uptown recently repor-
ter had his attention attracted by the
sign "Complexionist" which was hang
ing over the door of an inoffensive look
ing dwelling house. Wondering what
under the sun complexionist might
be, he wandered in to satisfy his curl
osity. A French lady of medium height
and with charming conversational pow
ers received him in small room fitted
up in style that might indicate at first
sight either a drug store or a hair
dresser's saloon.
A 'conplexionist," said the lady in
answer to the reporters interrogation,
sis one who makes study of the hu-
man skin and takes charge OF the GUS
toners complexion"
"But surely there are not many who
ooh! yes there are hundreds of the
fair sex who come here during the gay
season to be, made up to have the skin
treated with delicate washes to prevent
the bad effects of gas, heat and late
hours. But young ladies are not the
only ones treated; men-young and
old-are often found within these
walls"
"What is your usual mode of treat
ment?"
"That depends on the complexion ;
if it is merely to be preserved, we adj
wise little careful dieting and bathing
in elder flower water. Not a particle
of fat must be taken, as it Injuries the
polish of the skin. Here is prescrip-
ton that will clean the complexion in
very short time: tablespoonful of
sulphur taken every other morning for
week, then omitted for three morn
ings and take again. A mixture of
powdered birthstone or diluted glyce-
rine should be rubbed on the face at
night and washed off in the morning
with soap and water in which there is a
little ammonia. Washing the face in
spirits of camphor, glycerine and
ammonia is also very good, and various
other methods are resorted to for this
end"

Anesthetics for WhOOping Cough.

The American Practitioner gives the
statement of DR.. W. G. Webb, a Ken
lucky physician, viz, that from the treat
ment of nearly 200 cases of whooping
cough, he concludes croton chloral to
be by far the most valuable single
remedy for its relief, being we'll borne
by children. He states that, to affect
the disease, it must be given in de-
cided doses; child twelve months old
will bear one grain of the medicine
every four hours throughout the twenty
four-not less than this to be given
during the first week, after which the
cough is usually SO much relieved that
few If any doses are required at night
The drug being thus pushed to it's full
effect, there are but few cases uncon-
trolled by it in a fortnight; doses for
children 10 years old being two grains
every four hours.

Plantation Philosophy.
From the Arkansaw Traveller.

whut he 'magines udder people thinks

City of Mexico.

The Mexican Central trains are now
running from Ell Paso to the City of
Mexico on a schedule time of fifty
eight hours. This is a decided improve
ment over the old stagecoach trip of
two weeks.
The fare, $3.50, is also an improve
ment over the old time, when it cost a
fortune to visit the ''Halls of the Mon
tezumas."
The opening of this road in the
spring of the year is most opportune
in more ways than one. It gives the
capitalist and prospector a chance to
begin operations during the best sea-
son of the year, though, for that matter,
the season rarely conflicts with any &C.
cupation whatever in Mexico.
It is most opportune for the tourist,
who will wish to get away from the
sultry days of our summer to the mag
nifcent summer of the Mexican pla-
teau.
The country through which the road
runs is situated at an elevation of from
five to seven thousand feet above the
sea-level, and it's climate is simply
superb. In the oddly of the people,
the quaintness of the cities and antiq-
uity of its ruins, Mexico rivals Europe
itself.
Until Mexico is Americanized, at
least, a trip to that Spanish America
will be as interesting as the "Grand
Tour" while the great difference in ex-
pense will make it for most of us the
favorite.
It is noticeable that the Atchison,
Topeka & Sante Fe and Mexico
Central are the only roads that meet
in union depot at Ell Paso, where the
trains stand side by side, thus avoiding
a troublesome transfer across the city.
Another conspicuous feature of the
train service is the arrangement by
which those coming to Ell Paso over the
Santa Fe make almost immediate con-
nection with the Mexican trains, while
by other routes the traveller suffers
delay or some fifteen hours. Perhaps
this was an accident, and perhaps it
wasn't; at all events, the average tourist
will take the quickest and most con-
venient route.
The Santa Fe trains run from Kan
sas City to Ell Paso without change of
cars of any kind, so that the companies
have practically through route from
the Missouri River to the City of Mex
leo.
One Of the pleasantest things about
trip along this route is the entire alb
sence of danger from diseases incident

MEDFoRD, Wis, May 20.-For some
time past S. 81. Keller, postmaster at
this place, has had suspicious that the
sanctity of his home was being invaded
by DIR. Singleton B. Hubbell. Yester-
day afternoon he intercepted letter
written by his wife to Hubbell which
contained clear evidence of their guilt.
He Immediately ordered his wife and her
paramount to leave the town, threatening
to shoot them both if they persisted in
remaining. DR.. Hubbell became highly
agitated over the discovery of his unlaw-
full amour and hastily arranging some
business matters, committed suicide by
shooting.
MEDFoRD, Wis, 21.-Following are
the particulars of the suicide of DIR.
Singleton B. Hubbell: Keller, the
postmaster, intercepted letter from his
wife to Hubbell, which, it is said,
furnished abundant evidence of criminal
intimacy between the two. He loaded
revolver, sought out his wife, and fred
at her. Mrs. Keller ran out of the
post-ofice into drug store next door,
with Keller in pursuit. He was held
him. He declared that If Hubbell and
his wife did not leave town he
would kill them both. Judge Phelps
went to the bank, of which Hubbell was
president, and told Hubbell, who was
yet unconscious of the scene enacted
within few yards of him, of what had
occurred. He asked Phelps what caused
the shooting, and Phelps told him of
the intercepted letter. He asked what
it contained. Phelps answered.: ST do
not know. She is at my house; you can
go and gee her." Hubbell called at
Judge Phelps about 80, remained
few minutes, and left, remarking:
''Fhere is nothing left me to do but
make my will and go away. Twill be
back in two hours" He went directly
to his Office, which is in his residence.
At about 6 o'clock he crossed the street
to the store of GLASGOW Bros, asked one
of the firm to witness his signature,
saying: 'This is my last will. Take it,
and should anything happen to me pro-
duce it." He left note addressed to
his partner, dated o'clock P. NJ, telling
him what to do; whom to notify of his
death by telegraph; whom to write to; in
closed check to pay his boy and the
woman who attended to his rooms; a
memorandum of all accounts due him;
asked him to keep cool, to pay deposit
tors, etc. He said in this note:
s'That man." referring to Keller, ''has
driven this woman to do what she
did, and deserves no sympathy" He
then took his coat off, folded quilt,
and laid it on the bed, saturated towel
with chloroform, lay down upon the
bed, put pistol to his left temple, and
fred a shot directly into his brain.
Death must have been instantaneous.
About ten o'clock his friends began to
grow anxious at his absence, and a
search revealed him lying as above de-
scribed on his bed. Keller and his wife
left on the same train yesterday. It is
rumored that they have become recon-
ciled. Hubbell's will, after few be-
quests to relatives and friends, left the
residue of his estate to Mrs. Keller.
Hubbell was president of the Exchange
Bank, eff Medford, treasurer OF Taylor
County, and very prominent citizen.
His estate is variously estimated at from
$40 600 to $40 600

A Dove i'm Church.
IRON the Ithaca Journal. !

During the services at the Presby-
terrain church Sunday morning dove
entered the auditorium and, after cir
cling around once or twice, alighted on
the shiny pate of bald-headed gentle
man. The symbol of peace was rather
uneeremoniously dislodged from its rest
ing place, when it took wing and flew to
a perch near the ceiling. just after the
communion service was finished the
dove foated down from aloft and lodged
on the table in front of the altar and
began eating the remains of the sacra-
mental feast, but it was not allowed to
enjoy itself any longer than it took a
devout deacon to cover the distance be-
tween his pew and the table.

Imperishable Pictures.
From the Albany August

I understand that a patent has re-
Gently been granted in London on a
process for forcing designs in color
through the hardest substances, such
as stone, ivory, celeuloid, wood, etc. AS
an example of the manner in which the
work is done may be mentioned por-
trait of William FL. Vanderbilt, recent
~ completed and imported to this
country. A iktness of the millionaire
was painted on marble slab, and the
block of stone subjected to the proc
ess. When completed the portrait
presented the same appearance as be-
fore, but the peculiarly was that the
colors had entirely penetrated the
marble. The slab can be sawed in two,
and each piece will present duplicate
likeness, Or the marble can be dressed
down to the thinness of a shaving and
the portrait will still remain in all it's
beauty,

THE CROSS.
BY HERBERT B, GARRoD.

ON THE "EcCE HOMO" OF coRREeaIo.
Inc parted, hvid lips the soft brown hair
That falls about His neck, the thorny crown
Wounding His brow, the blood-drops trickling
down,
The hooking purple robe, cold Pilates stare
and pointing finger, the crossed wrists that wear
The chords, with upturned face that melts in
pain,
The swooniDg Mother and the Magdalen:
The rapt rough soldiers gaze-all these are there
These could another paint But who save thee.
Supreme Allegril with his brush could linn
Those eyes that speak elemental VICE.
Pent up till, thrilling sadly from the Tree
The Sons prayer rose, while Calvary grew dim
Father, forgive them, they know not what
they do"
