Cable Cipher Codes.

The ingenuity exercised in devising
cipher codes is astonishing to veteran
travellers. These little volumes are now
published in convenient form to be car
ried in a travellers pocket and contain q
list of five or six hundred English words
selected more for their Geographic eu-
phony than on any other consideration,
arranged phabetically and each with
its meaning in plain language set oppo'
site to it. The number of words,
phrases and sentences which single
cipher word may mean when flashed
under the ocean is astounding. For
instance: In Lows new pocket code
the word "scamper' means Telegraph
III cipher as soon as you receive the
copy of the pocket cable code which L
send you for that purpose. The word
"enarched" means, Check book has
been lost or stolen; please stop pay
ments on any checks bearing the num-
Der CT my check book" When tele-
graphic euphony is alluded to an expert
will readily understand that the object
desired in cipher words is collection
of letters, the Geographic symbols for
which are most readily Ineligible to
the ear of the cable operator, the tele-
graph sounds, for instance, for IN" and
"e" are SO nearly alike, it is said, that
certain unions of those letters have
been avoided as far as possible. The
system on which code may be ar
ranged is we'll shown in this series of
three definitions Liberties" means
"in reply to YOUR" "Libertine," which
means "in reply to your letter." Lib
erty," which means "in reply to your
telegram. "-NeU York World.

and talks glibly about their uniting to Ideal the death blow to liberty on this continent" We'll, l don't believe,there is the least danger of such a catastrophe, nor do 1 think that any sane person believes word of such balderdash. And now comes the knockout blow. for Mir. Davis is in for fight to the finish, and Rome is put to sleep by a cuff under rhe ear with Lafayette used as a slung shot. But Lafayette did not use the Ian guage as his own, only quoted it. Mr.. Davis, Lafayette was Catholic; so also, were Kosciusko and Stuben also Jack Barsy. The Hessians were not Catholics.
 Mir. Editor, have already trespassed too far upon your valuable space, but want to tell story and also give Mir. Davis some advice. About twenty-five or thirty hears ago young man, a stu dent of theology, was ambitious of mo- torlety, and wished to start new re- ligion of his own; the old groves were all too narrow for him. But not being quite certain of his ground, concluded to consult with his uncle, a bishop, as to just what theories he had better ad- vance. "Oh," said the Bishop, "it mat ters little about theories. Just pitch into the Pope and give him h-l, and your success is assured" Mir. Davis must have heard the story, and failing to gain the coveted notoriety in other directions, concluded to try the advice of the Bishop.
 Now, Mir. Davis, as you more than in innate that the Christian sects are all wrong and very dangerous, and it has become your special duty to see that they do no harm, let me advise you to try other methods than abuse. You seldom hurt a man by abusing him. Try emulation, Go to work as the Cath olics have done and build up schools, hospitals, sylums, homes for the aged poor, homes for fallen women and or phans, etc. Show that you can work some as we'll as talk in the interest of suffering humanity. Show that your methods and your institutions with no God to trouble you are superior to those of the ignorant, benighted, supersti- tious Catholics, and thus relieve the State of many great burdens. The su- periority of your work will speak for it. self and the grasping minds of America will soon see that you have struck the key to real liberty. Act man, do some thing besides wasting you wind in vile uncharitable abuse of your neighbors. There is plenty of room for such great minds as yours to labor in the field of progress. And the State will have enough to attend to, besides. Oh! by the way, that allegiance to the Pope. We'll, no Catholic with sense enough to keep out of a lunatic asylum but knows he owes no allegiance to the Pope, save as his spiritual director. Our allegiance to our country and our politics the Pope has nothing to do with. Perhaps you have discernment enough to see the dis tinction. "Peace be to you."

WILL A CORPSE BLEEpp

Popular Superstition Which Once Pre-
vailed In Great Britain.
Formerly there was a popular belief
in widespread superstition that the
corpse of a murdered person would
bleed afresh from the wounds that had
caused death did the murderer touch 10
or even allow his eyes to rest upon it
Shakespeare, who seems to have been &C
quainted with every superstition, as we'll
as with every branch of the human
knowledge, alludes to the belief in
Richard Ill" 1, 9:
Dead Hsnry's wounds
Open their CONCEALED mouths and bleed

Drayton says:
II the vile actors Of the heinous deed
Near the dead body happily be brought,
Oft it has b. en- proved the corpse will bleed.
The belief is shown to have been uni
versally established in Scotland as late
as 1858 In that year one Philip Stands

WHAT THEY GET OUT OF THEIR
INCOMES.

If the question "Why are you striv-
ing for wealth, should be propounded
to those who are eager in the pursuit,
perhaps a majority of them would re-
ply that they want riches solely that
they may have more comfort. Most
OF them may De nUuesv Liza
ration but we are disposed to think
them mistaken as to what is in their
minds.
A craving for power is stronger
influence than the desire for comfort
in urging men to strive for wealth.
Still there are those who want money
that they may have luxuries. and
many of those who are denying them
selves present e. joyment are looking
forward to time when they will be
able to crafty every taste and indulge
every craving.
In this way many GO on who have
already reasonably good incomes.
Judiciously expended, the amount of
money at their control would supply
them with most of the substantial
comforts of life. They are, how.
ever, so intent upon attaining the
condition when it will no longer be
necessary to study expenses, that they
fail to enjoy what they have. A great
majority of those who are getting rich
have not yet reached the point of rest
and enjoyment. There are those,
however, who do not get much COM
fort out of very fair incomes, not be-
cause of any excessive parsineony, but
because they have not the requisite
taste.
They do not know how to arrange
their households in snch ways as to
secure ease and quiet. They do not
cultivate order, without which there
can be no such thing as peace. Some
housewives spend q good deal of money
and yet have all their families in dis
comfort. Itis probably true that the
least systematic, housewives are the
most expensive.
The woman who has a place for
everything and keeps everything in
its place, generally knows how to
make dollar go as far as it should.
This question of getting comforts out
of incomes great or small, is one with
which wives have most to do.
The man can build fine houses and
fit up elegant grounds. but if the wo-
man be lacking in taste and skill, these
will be deficient in attrsctiveness.
There is no question that many a wo.
man doubles and quadruples the com.
fort-giving power of her husbands in
come by her nice management. There
are uncouth and slOvenly wives who
would not create pleasant homes
though boundless wealth were placed
at their command. Others can i'm.
press and air of neatness and comfort
from the gate to the closet without
making every one miserable by their
craze for tidiness. i
