1t is said that the true Caribs were
in the habit of cleaning and preserving
the bones of their dead relations in

no longer. Various properties of the

Schomburgk mentions a curious case
of man who had been, or. was sup

whose grave a cord was put with which
he might bind his murderer should
he meet him on the further side Of the
grave. 1t is to be feared that the re-
spect for the grave has now .dimin-
ished; for if the hammock in which the
body is wrapped happens to be new or
good it is now not unfrequently with
drawn from the body. The grave is
then filed in and a fire is made over it,;

drinking, and singing of songs in

ceased are lamented, and the house is

l .l.'l :. Bsn.nstt Cables. q
Washing ton Letter: Beanza Mac
kay, Lam told, is succeeding far beyond
his hopes in the management zof his
cable lines and the Postal Telegraph
Company. He will sail in 4 day or
two for Europe, but is now giving his
time every, day to, his rapidly-increas-
ing business. A gentleman. who is in
tinately associated with. +Mackay s avs
his cable company is earning $4;7o0 a
day, and, as soon as the overland line
to New Orleans is built, Will increase
this to Sc, 700 a day. New Orleans is
strange as it may seem, the best: cable
town in the United States outside of
New York. Her merchants do vast
direct business abroad. Chicago, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, San Francisco-none
of them equal New Orleans. Maekay's
cables are capitalized at SIS, 900, 900,
while his competitors are watered up to
$50, 900, OO0. At the, same time he Us
doing nearly as much business as all
of them. And the earnings are nearly
all his Own.I He, owns $1,000 900, Of
the cable stock. James Gordon Ben
nett 500, OO0, and two other stock
holders $500, 900 between them: The
greatest loss has been some 5000 the
last year to repair break. Besides all
this Mackay owns patents that enable
him to cut rates clear from under the
other fellows. His operators do not
have to catch and translate flashes Of
lightning, but sit down to a desk and
take messages from tape as easily as
from an ordinary ticker, His office is
on the corner. of Broad and Wall streets
in New York, the site of the +. firsttele-
graph office in the United States: There
the messages are, received direct from
across. the. Atlantic, WITHOUT relaying
from the shore end. The cables come
over the Brooklyn bridge down to the
office just as5any other cable would.
The instrument by which messages
are received is an ingenious one.
A glass pen, with an atmospheric pres
sure reservoir :pf ink, is suspended be-
tween two magnets. On the glass pen
is q small piece of metal, which the
current on either magnet attracts.
This produces ON atape fine wavering
line in which short curves represent
dots and long ones dashes. This is all
there isof it. y An operator transcribes
the message on the tape as he would
from sound or an ordinary receiver.
Across the desk, separated by a glass
partition, sits another operator sending
message on the same cable. :, By all
this ingenious mechanism Mr.. Mackay
is adding with marvellous rapidity to
his already marvellous fortune:

At dinner given by the President
in. honor of the justices Of the Supreme
Court, recently, the table decorations
were of a novel character Il On the
long mirrortrising from a cushion of
'Marechal Neil roses were the scales of
justice, formed in red and white carna-
lions, were swung on smilax, and a
dove rested on the beam, At the ends
OF the mirror were open crowns of

seven members of Congress and one

the State into Congressional, Senatorial
and Legislative Districts, matter in

ArDEsPATCH dated Scranton, Pa,
23rd inst, says: 1t looks as though the
Democrats of the Twelfth Congress dis

eral Master Workman Powderly for
Congiess. They are all certain that
Congressman J. \. Scranton has got
the Republican machine of the distr.c.
50 thoroughly under his control that he
Will be able to renominate himself, and
they believe that the only Democrat in
the district who can defeat Scranton.
and defeat him so badly that he. will
never want to run again, is eN-Mayor
Powderly. Mr.. Powderly, besides being
the best known gentleman in the dis
trict, is the most popular one also. This
district comprises nearly the entire ter
rtory of Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties, and in it is included the major
portion of Scranton, Wilkesbarre, Car.
bondale, Pittston, and nearly a score of
populous boroughs and villages. No
district in the Union has larger pro
portion of laboring people, and Mr..
Powderly's life and record are known
to them all. Prominent Democrats say
that Judge Stanley Woodward, of
Wilkesbarre, who has been mentioned
as the nominee of the Democracy, would
willingly step aside if the Democrats
could get Mr. Powderly to accept.
