4 new ocean cable is now being laid be-
tween Senegal on the west coast of Africa,
and Brazil. the length of which will be
2i65 miles. The Silvertown is the name
of the vessel that is now about to link South
America and Africa together and the cable,
as well as the manner of laying; differs in
some important particulars from the earlier
cables and the manner of laying. The
cable is cooled up in tanks and i. paid out
at the bow and not at the stern Of the ves-
sci as formerly. The cable is of varying
thickneSscs, corresponding to the degree of
friction to which it will be subjected,
weighing ut the shore end fifteen tons per
knot, and decreasing. rs the water deepcns.
TO eight and four and onc-half tons
per knot, while at the deepest part of
the ocean bed the cable will weigh from two
and one-fourth to three tons per knot.
1t is expected that the rate of laying the
cable will be about ten knots per hour, and
the whole work will probably be completed
before the end of July. The cable differs in
some respects from the earlier cables in it.,
construction. The communicating part is
in the middle, and is composed of copper
wires firmly bedded in gutta pcrcha, round
which is band of steel wires covered with
resin. The breaking strength of these wires
is eleven tons, thus making the cable strong
enough to Withstand attacks from sea mon
.,sters and ordinary accidents in LAYING.
The depth of the ocean is matter of but
little difficulty compared 10 the rreguari-
ties of the bed on which the cable rests.
Few ocean cables have as level bed as
that on which the Atlantic cable rests. Thus
in the proposed cable between California
and Honolulu the irregularity of the
mountains on the Pacific ocean bed consti-
tutes formidable difficulty in the way of
the enterprise, and will add greatly to the
expense of the undertaking. In some in
stances the cable will drop from 400
fathoms to 200 fathoms this to be followed,
perhaps, by rise of 1000 fathons or more,
thus adding greatly to the probability of
breakages or knotting of the cable.
| The most interesting of recent develop
ments in the submarine telegraph is the
submarine telephone cable, one of which at
/ least, that between Sangatte, near Calais
/ and st. Margaret's Bay, near Dover, has
been in successful operation since April of
last year. The cable is part of the London
! Paris telephone, and during the preliminary
trials of the line the music of the Grand
/ Opera House in Paris, the applause and the
cries of bis of the audience were heard
! in London. The line has been continued
to Marseilles, and Englishmen visiting in
| the south of France have talked by tele-
phone with friends in London. Possibly
with Improvements in the cable and the
/ telephone, transatlantic conversation by
telephone will become so common and SO
cheap in the twentieth century as to BE- no
more of a novelty or wonder than our or
binary telephone communications are now.

STANLEY N Pollncs.
TIE Expisser Accepts an Invitation 10 Stand
Tor Parliament

LoSpaS June 2S.-The most interesting
feature of the political campaign has been
the choice of Heary NJ. Stanley By the
nionists of North Lambert as their can
diiale for the seat for that Parliamentary
division The local Conservative caucus
understood that the present incumbent,
Lieut.-tien. Sir Charles Craufuri-Fraser.
would seek reelection. A letter from him
was received informing the caucus that he
would not be candidate again
The Conservative Council agreed that the
only way 10 make up for the disadvantage
eecssioued by change of plans at 50 ate an
hour, almost on the eve of election. woGld
be to put up candidate of national repate.
whose prestige would perhaps oyerwhelm
the Liberal local organization, The central
headquarters ut London was notified of the
situation, but the reply was sent back that
all the notables available were already en-
gagged, and the suggestion was added the
Liheral-C nicnis, caucus be applied to. This
advice was accepted, with the result that
Stanley was hit upon.
The committee hurried off to Richmond
Terrace. saw Stanley, and obtained his con-
sent to the use of his name. Stanley took
the matter very coolly, but his wife made
nc attempt to conceal her delight over his
acceptance of the nomination. She Is en-
thuslastie about the campaign, and has
promised personally to aid Stanley in the
canvass. She will make several speeches
herself, and she will issue an address in
forming the electors of the division why
she thinks her husband should be elected.
IL is expected that her charming person.
atty and her ready wit will be "a great help
in the contest. She helped Stanley draft
his own address after he had returned from
a banquet at Fishmongers' Hall The open
ing paragraph of the address declares for
one indiviSihle empire, one indispensable
union the union of the United Kingdom in
one imperial Parliament, representing one
people" The remainer of the address is
skilfuIly worded to catch the independent
vote.
The Tories are preparing gorgeous
plaeards, in which ingenious references are
made to Stanley's thrilling adventures, his
intrepidity, his wide experience. his ser
vices in enlarging the sphere of British
commerce sc. On the other hand the
Liberals are busily searching out Stanley
record before he became famous. They
hope to find something in his American
career which they can decry. and mean
while they are raking up old stories of hi,
lmbibing in brutal treatment of the natives
during his first expeditions in Africa.
Stanley ought to win the seat as he is I'M
doubleday popular; his wife's influence will
help him, and the division is unionist one,
anyway, the Conservative majority at the
last election being about 100 in total vote
of about 5000, The Liberals are stronger
now than at that time, and the vote will
probably be close, but the general impress
sion is that the great explorer will gain the
prize.

Free Delivery Of Mails.

In supporting the free mail delivery in
the rural districts, Hon. John F. Fits.
member of Congress from Connecticut
used the following language in speech
lately delivered by him: The minister.
the doctor. the lawyer. the merchant and
the artisan are all residents of the village
and it is difficult for the farmer to get word
TO any one of them without hitching up A
team for the special purpose, at the ex-
pense of a good deal of time and trouble.
This is Il serious disadvantage TO the
farmer. It keeps him out of touch with
the great interests of the day. He does
not take daily newspaper, for in the
busy season he may not 70 to. or have
communication with, the postofiicc for a
week at a time. He often suffers pccuu-
iary loss from want of ready access to
the mails. When work is pressing he
thinks he cannot spare the time or team
for long drive to the postottice. on
this account important business matters
fail TO reach him in season. Notices Of
public meetings of various kind. are of
no use. because coming too late. II the
postoffce could be brought practically
to his door. it would add immensely to his
comfort and convenience. besides actually
enhancing the peeuniary value of his farm
and business. Now. is this state Of things
without a remedy, or is the remedy 50 diff
cult as to be not worth while: b no means.
The only wonder is that remedy 50 simple
easy and comparatively inexpensive "a a
free delivery of the mails has not before
been put into practice. With free delivery
an embargo il lifted from his life and bust
ness, and he enters upon that freedom
of communication ne so much needs but
has never before enjoyed With free de-
livery and collection of the mails in country
districts, we should hear little more of
abandoned farms in New England. The
boys will he more willing to stay upon the
old homestead. The summer boarier will
seek the fresh and quiet homes farther away
/ from the village. and instead of whole
community of 80 or 100 families acting as
mail carriers. one mail carrier would do
| the work for all.
