Landing an Ocean Telegraph Cable.

The scene on shore began to grow
lively. Quite a crowd had assembled
on the beach. Some of the visitors
had come from New York, while others
had focked from the rural districts of
Long Island, as was evident. from the
suggestion Of the village green and the
quantity of hayseed in their hair. They
seemed to regard the whole proceed
ings with gaping awe. The RATS that
carried the end OF the cable from the
small landing steamer 800 yards away
started slowly toward the shore.
just at this moment rude Boreas
pulled out his cheeks for farewell
blast. The gale rushed across Sheaps-
head Bay as if it meant to make clean
sweep Of the sand dunes, and black:
clouds laden with rain were hurried
seward in the van of the approaching
squall. The sky was obscured with
flying scnd. The signal was given to
the men to haul away. They hauled,
but it was as much as they could do to
hold their own, and the violence of the
wind checked for time all further adj
vance. The men clinched their teeth
and used every effort, but they could
not stir the RATS foot. For nearly 3
quarter Of an hour. they strove might
and main, but if they made any head
way it was not apparent. BY and by
came the inevitable lull which follows
every squall, and in this lull they hauled
ahead to some purpose. Another haw-
ser was fastened to the leading raft,
and number of the visitors tailed on
to the shore end of it and tried to give
the sailors helping hand. 1t was
timely aid generously rendered. Twen-
ty minutes after they had got SO close
! that the raftslnen's songs could be
heard from the beach. The boatswain
was the "boss'' singer. He could be
heard roaring with Stentor's voice
the burden Of one of those old sea
songs, or ''chanteys," as the sailors
call them, which is probably heritage
| from the crew of Noah's ark, and the
men joined in the chorus.
They nerved themselves for final eff
fort. One prolonged haul and the first
raft grated on the sand. Another haul
and the second raft was high and dry.
All the men jumped ashore, many Of
them 1Oundering about as playfully as
porpoises in the water. In another in
slant twenty strong arms seized the
/, cable and soon had the end clear of the
surf. And then arose shout of Joy,
the Concentrated essence of a hundred
cheers from as many hoarse throats.
They had done their work, and it had
been SO hard that the hearty hurrahs
followed as matter of course. Two
locomotives added to the din by shrill
shrieks from their whistles. The Fara-
day was signaled with flags, but as she
was at anchor some five miles off the
sound of her whistle, of course, could
not be heard, though the puffs of steam
which issued from her pipe and could
be seen with the glass bore witness that
she, too, was treating herself to soli-
tary screech of triumph. -New York

waited him. His aunt, thoroughly dis
gusted, refused to do anything more
for him.
Thus, left to his own resources, our
hero saw that he would have to say
farewell to art forever, for now he had
to keep himself and a wife.
He tried another walk in life, and,
when we last heard of him, was COM
mercial traveller, doing well. Is he
happy with his wife? We believe quite
as happy as most husbands are, for
Dafodil, with all her faults, is very

Fort D0nelson Ready For Battle.

From General Lew Wallace's account
of the battle of Fort Donelson, in the
December Century, we quote the fol-
lowing: "The 9th of February, 1862,
dawned darkly after thunderstorm
Pacing the parapets of the work on the
hill above the inlet formed by the
junction Of Hickman's Creek and the
Cumberland River, sentinel, in the
serviceable butternut jeans uniform of
the Confederate army of the West,
might that day have surveyed Fort
Donelson almost ready for battle. In
fact, very little was afterwards done to
it. There were the two water batter
les sunk in the northern face of the
bluff, about thirty feet above the river;
in the lower battery nine thirty-two
FOUNDER guns and one ten-inch C0lum-
bad, and in the upper another Column
bad, bored and rifed as thirty-twO
FOUNDER, and two thirty-two FOUNDER
carrronades. These guns lay between
the embrasures, in snug revetment of
sand in coffee-sacks, fanked right and
left with stout traverses. The salts
faction of the sentry could have been
nowise diminished at seeing the back
water lying deep in the creek; more
perfect ditch against assault could not
have been constructed. The fort it
self was of good profile, and admirably
adapted to the ridge it crowned.
Around it, on the landward side, ran
the rifle-pits, continuous but irregu-
lar line of logs, covered with yellow
clay. From Hickman's Creek they ex-
tended far around to the little run just
outside the town on the south. II the
sentry thought the pits looked shallow,
he was solaced to see that they follow
ed the coping of the ascents, seventy or
eighty feet in height, up which foe
must charge, and that, where they
were weakest, they were strength
ened by trees felled Outwardly in front
of them, SO that the interlacing limbs
and branches seemed impossible by
men under fire. At points inside the
outworks, on the inner slopes Of the
hills, defended thus from view Of An
enemy as well as from his shot, lay the
huts and Lighthouses OF the garrison.
Here and there groups of later Corners,
shivering in their wet blankets, were.
visible in bivouac SO cherries that
not even morning fires could relieve It.
A little music would have helped their
sinking spirits, but there was none.
Even the picturesque effect Of gay uni
forms was wanting. In fine, tho Con-
federate sentinel on the ramparts that
morning, taking in the whole scsne.
knew the jolly, rollicking picnic days
OF the war were over. =

Saturday Mr.. JOS. Whitney received
his blooded COW and calf from West
Salem. They are Holstein stock the
COW weighing over 1900 pounds and
the calf 315. Joseph thinks that if
Emmons remains on his own side of
the street he will not be apt to try
salt to cure all diseases. Sunday was
a special day at Whitneys. There
was constant stream of men going
to see Jos blooded stock, each of
course, giving him his idea of her
favorable and weak points. A stranger
would have thought Joseph had a
menagerie judging from the large num-
Der of persons going to and from.

Attorney Gardner was again sue
cessful before the Supreme Court in
the Remington-Scott case. Mr.. Rem
ington having asked for a re-hearing,
the case was accordingly argued
before the Supreme Court and has
resulted in the denial of re-hearing
for Mr.. Remington. This practically
settles this tedious case which has
been pending for several years. The
suit has been an expensive one to Mr..
Remington.
