Beating Time by Cable.

From the London News
How he once beat time" or rather, appar-
ent time, in a remarkable fashion is told by
MIR. Archibald Forbes in his article in the Nine
teenth Century. 1t is a story Of telegraphic
dispatch from the battlefield In the early
morning Of the 22d OF November 1873, a British
division under Gen. Sir Samuel Browne occu-
pied the Afghan fortress of Ali Musjid I'D in the
khyber Pass. Mr.. Forbes rode back ten miles
to Jumrood, where the field telegraph was, aud
sent the news to England in a short message
bearing date 10 am. There is five hours diff
ference of time between India and England in
favor OF the latter, and the Daily Netos con-
tanning this telegram dated 10 am. was selling
III Fleet street at am, one hour Of apparent
time before it was dispatched. Its antcipa-
ton OF time. however, did not end here.
Owing to the five hours difference between
the clocks of London and New York the
message was in time for the regular editions of
the New York papers that same morning. 1t
was thence Immediately wired across the Amer
lean continent, and, owing again to the differ
ence III time between the Atlantic coast and the
Pacific slope, the early rising citizen of San
Francisco. purchasing his morning paper at 6
IN, was able to read the announcement of an
event which actually occurred ove- two hours
later III apparent time some 1900 miles away
on the other side Of the globe. Puck, as Mr.
FORBES says. protested himself able to put a
girdle round the earth in forty minutes, but
this telegram sped round the globe in two
hours less than no time ut all.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
A telephone up the volcano on Hawaii is the

Honolulu has the most wonderful telephone
system in the world, said Mr. Richards You
can get any number you want as soon as Won
ask for 1t and can hear perfectly a very great
distance. There is a good system in Hilo. too,
and the lines run the whole length of the island
and go to the houses of many of the largest
planters. The people of Hawaii use the tele-
phone much more than do the people in any
part OF the United States that L was ever in. III
a man wants to know what time il is instead Of
getting out Of his seat TO look at the clock he

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
Owing to the fact that SO many English
citizens spend the summer on the continent
the different Church of England societies de-
tail preachers Of that faith to take their own
vacation on the continent. and at all the resorts
the preachers conduct religious services
each Sunday. l have met a number of these
ministers or rectors, and they seem to be q
very jovial set of men. In contrast to our own
preachers in the United States they not only
frequent the gardens and drinking places.
but they do not hesitate to sit in the smoking
rooms Of the hotels and indulge in "grog'0
Scotch whisky and wnter. "Why not?' said
one OF these preachers to me, as he slipped his
grog and smoked his pipe. I'VE enjoy the
good things OF this world, but do not
abuse them" They are evidently the same
kind Of persons that Thackeray so vividly de-
scribes in his novels l observe when handed
card by any Of these preachers that they in
variably give you their club as well as private
address, and this is particularly true Of Lon
don and the outskirts. One of these preachers
seemed much surprised when told that it was
a rare exception in the United States for a
minister Of the gospel to belong to club.

Considerably Frightened.
From the Atlanta journal.

FROM the Atlanta journal.
THE worst frightened man ever saw" said
Judge Fitzgerald, was at Pea Ridge when we
were attacked by the federal troops"
For q body servant had a strapping big
negro boy, whose duty it was to look after NV
blankets and rations, and, negro like, he was
forever crawling away into some out-of-the-way
place to sleep.
Just as we were expecting the advance the
federals opened fire on us at rather close
range.
I'VE were on the skirmish line, and in mo
ment our men were deployed in battle array.
Just as the fire began to grow heavy heard
o piercing yeh and saw my negro boy flying
along between the lines.
Every step would have measured fifteen feet
and every time his foot struck the ground he
would yell, o Lordr loud enough to be heard
in both camps.
with him he had my blankets and -rations
and at every jump he would leave portion Of
one or the other in his wake.
AS far as 1 could see him he was going like
frightened deer and long after he was out of
sight could hear him yell
He had been sleeping exactly midway be-
tween the lines when the battle opened and it
10 not surprising that he was scared.
Two weeks elapsed before he returned to
camp, but he never could be induced TO talk Of
his Pea Ridge experience"
