THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Talk of Giving Houoluin the
CODY.

CODY.
Mr.. Audley Coote, who has taken
such an important part in the pro-
motion of the French cable to
New Caledonia, left yesterday
afternoon for Melbourne, en- route
for England. He speaks in the
highest terms of the cable, and
says that the tests made of it show
that it is one of the best ever laid.
What, however, is of more import
ance at the present moment, in
view of the complications which
have arisen through the proposals
made byth Canadian representa-
tives who are at the present time
engaged in promoting their parti-
cular projects, is whether the line
is to be continued past New Gale
donia, and from what Mr.. Coote
says, there need be no doubt on
that point. The second section
will proceed from Gomen, New
Caledonia, to FIJI, a distance of
791 miles; the third section is
from FIJI to Samoa, 6S5 miles
the fourth section is from Samoa
to Hawaii, via Tanning island,
2417 miles and the last section,
from Hawaii to Vancouver, 1916
miles; and if the cable is finished
it will go on to Frisco.
Mr.. Coote has written a long let,
let to the premier in which be sew
erely criticises the project of Mr..
Sanford Fleming, and enters into
details with the view of showing
the superiority of the cable which
he specifically represents. He
describes the rival route az an old
scheme, and he AYERS that it will
be utterly impossible to lay down
a Pacific cable which does not
touch on foreign territory. Samoa,
for instance, is under the joint con-
troll of Great Britain, Germany and
the United States, while at Homo
lulu the French people have to be
consulted. He understands that
Mr.. Sanford Fleming proposes to
leave out Honolulu; but he points
out that if this be done there will
be stretch of cable of 5000 miles
without a landing point, and at
present the longest cable laid has
only an extent of 1000 miles. A
cable of the former length instead
of being economical would entail
extra expenditure, owing to a
stronger cable having to be pro-
vided. Mr.. Coote attaches no i'm
portance to the talk about the use
which might be made of the
French cable in time of war, as
treaties provide for the protection
of such cables. He mentioned also
that what the New South Wales
government have done is simply to
guarantee the payment of a sum of
money to the support of the cable.
As a matter of fact it is very hypo-
thetical if any of the guarantee
will be required, as it is expected
that the returns will be sufficient
to render it unnecessary to call on
the government for any money.
According to Mr.. Coote, what the
New South Wales government have
done is to "back a bill' for the
in return for which they
have the right to send their mes
sages over the line free of charge
for thirty years. He mentions that
as soon as the line was completed
be wrote to the premier stating that
the cable was now finished, and

Asserted His Manhood.

The thin, feecy clouds scurried
across the sky, dimmlng at intervals
the light of the moon, whose pale
rays shone upon a young man stand
ing near the corner Of jackson and
Dearborn streets
His dress was plain, even to shabbi-
ness. The night air was chill, and
as he leaned against a lamppost with
his hands in his pockets, his hat
pulled down over his eyes, and his
head drawn down as far as 1t would
go inside his turned-up coat collar,
he looked like man to whom hope
and a square meal had long been
strangers.
Suddenly he Strengthened up A
new impulse, born Of his necessities
and heralding, maYhap, the dawning
of a conviction that American man
hood was not thing to be sur.

fortune and neglect, had apparently
Vaken possession of him. A footstep
was uCdIu approaching anu 40 ~

that the eye Of fellow-belng should

That was good story which the
Rev. @. j. X. Jones of Louisville told
in Boston pulpit the other day. He
said:
"An alarmist always reminds me of
friend of mine who was commander
at the battle of Round Mountain. Il
was a hot tight-one of the hottest of
the war. At a particularly intense
part of the action my friend stood be-
side his horse scanning the field with
his glass and directing the troops. He
told me it seemed as if the fire of the
whole Confederacy was centred on
him, the bulletsIwere thick around him.
Suddenly he heard minnie ball
singing in the air, and he felt some
thing strike his leg But the occasion
was urgent and he kept up his glass.
There was another 'ping-g-g,' and he
felt another strike. And so it con-
tinued.
"The Captain at last lifted up his
hand and prayed: %, Lord, l can
go home to my wife and children with
out either of my legs, but, 0, Lord,
let me get home
Finally there came the shouts of
victory. The battle was won. With
long-drawn sigh the Captain turned.
He shouted to his orderly at little
distance. Pm wounded, Jim. Come
and help me on my horse; | must go
home. It's my last battle
No, guess not replied the or
derby.
What's the matter? Come, hurry
up, I'm wounded.
If you want me to help you, come
here, sang out the orderly.
But what's the trouble? Why
can't you come here? Don't you see
I'm wounded and almost dyingY
ooh, no, you are not, sang out the
orderly.
"'Come here instantly, you rascal,
shouted the commander.
"'No, 1 don't, that's the biggest nest
of yellow jackets there l ever saw in
my life,' was the final laughing reply
of the orderly.

were the only mimic balls that had
struck him. Boston Journal.

The window Box.

Nothing so adds to the appearance
Of a room, winter or summer, as
some Qf only few, Of natures IA
vorites-howers. BY "nowers" we
mean poisoning or growing plants
A window box in spring and summer
an+wers double purposes; it adorns
the rooms and 1t glOrlties the exter.
nal part Of the house. These boxes
are always possible and inexpensive,
even ii one has no little railing or
verandah juttlng out. An ordinary
box the length Of the window and
about ten inches broad by eight deep,
is all that is required. Filled with
the proper kind of earth and planted
in hanging vines and gay-colored
plants, or those that have gay bios
SONS, they form a spot Of beauty
that nothing can equal. They should
be placed outside the window
upon supports that are Sc
curely fastened. They should be so
arranged that only the plants and
none Of the box, come above the sill.
II one desire, the whole box may be
covered with rough bark from I'M
hewn logs. The treatment gives
them picturesque effect, and affords
little inches for the dropping vines to
cling to, thus preventing their be-
ing destroyed by rough winds.

that the portable "search-light" will be
taken up in earnest by the military
authorities in other countries.


The ancient and obsolete projectiles
are displayed in great number in Uncle
Sans department of the Worlds Fair.
They include everything from what is
known as the old "bar SHOT and "chain
shot" down to the ingenious explosive
projectiles invented during the war by
the confederAtes, some OF which were
very novel. The "bar shot" was made by
splitting q cannon ball in two and con-
Meeting the two halves by an iron bar
their purpose was to cut rigging ship
spars. The chain shot was on q similar
principle, except that two cannon balls
were connected by long heavy chain.
This was for the same purpose. When
Farragut attacted the forts below New
Orleans, these things were fired from
the guns Of the enemy in great num-
bers, and the horrible noise that they
made was we'll calculated TO wake the
dead or turn a strong mans hair gray,
They came through the air like shrek
ing demons, and anyone who ever heard
one will cheerfully forego q repetition
Of the sensation. Another curious ex.
hibit is an old-fashioned furnace fol
heating shots to fire at ships. These
two are relics of by-gone ages. Prob
ably the last time a red-hot shot was
ever fred at O ship was at this same
battle of New Orleans. They used to
tell funny story about confederate
officer who had charge of red-hot
shot battery at Fort Jackson. The
science of was new to the Confederates
in those days, as we'll as to the Federals,
and he was not expected to know all
about firing red-hot shot. His battery
consisted of two guns. For two hours
he blazed away at the passing feet
and after the affair was over every shot
that had been put into his guns was
found in the ditch below the muzzle'
of the guns. The secret was that the
men, in their supreme haste to get rio
Of the red-hot shot after it had entered
the gun, would run the gun out quickly
and with such force that before the
captain of the gun could reach his Ian
yard to fire, the hot shot would roll
out at the muzzle, and the result was
that nearly every shot ne fired was only
o blank cartridge.

Pat Was a Martinez.

One day during the war, while a
Middle Tennessee regiment was sta
toned in the city Of Nashville, an Irish
recruit was put on guard duty on one
of the principal streets in the city.
He thought it his duty to challenge
every one who came along, just as he
would in camp. By and bye a we'll
dressed citizen approached. "Halt
Who goes there?" says Mike. "a cit
izen," answered the man. Advance,
citizen, and give the countersign !"
"But 1 don't know the countersign,
said the citizen; "and if did l think
it very strange and unusual that it
should be demanded in a public place
like this" "Well, be jabers then,
said Mike, Eye don't pass this way till
we've said Boonker HilP!" Bunker
Hill" said the man, with a grin.
"Right! Pass onl" said the sentinel
at present" and the citizen went on
about his affairs.

Cheatham Had His Nerve.

In the early days of the Civil War,
the uniforms of federals and Confed-
crates was much alike, and strange
mistakes were sometimes made. As
General Cheatham was riding out one
day, he met a squadron of cavalry com
ing down the road towards his posi-
ton. He had no sure means of know
ing whether the force was friendly OF
hostile. He resolved to ascertain.
Riding up, accompanied by an orderly
to within a few yards of the troop, he
asked: "What cavalry is that ?"
"Illinois cavalry, sir" was the reply.
"Oh, Illinois cavalry" said the Con-
federate General; Aall right just stay
where you are" The Illinoisans had
no doubt but that the officer was a
Federal. They obeyed his order.
Cheatham looked about him for a
moment, and then rode back to his own
command under the guns Of another
Federal regiment, who, seeing him
come from the cavalry troop, supposed
he was zone of them"

ELECTRICITY ON BnttIeIleIds.

The ubiquity of electricity is becom-
ing almost proverbal. From the
brightest spot on earth to the blood
stained battlefelds is rather far cry,
but there is no end to the application
of electricity. A recent telegram from
Austria described some experiments of
great interest which have recently
been carried out successfully there.
The difficulty of searching for the
wounded ON the night after q great
battle has been one which has long oc-
cupied the attention of military re-
formers, and the army medical service
in Austria has been endeavoring to de-
termine how far the electric light may
be utilized for this humane end. The
value OF search lights with refectors
has been proved in naval affairs, and
at Suakim and elsewhere soldiers have
found them very effective on open
ground. They would be equally effect
i've, under similar conditions, for as
sisting in picking up the wounded,
but when the battle has ragged over a
wide extent of country, or when the
fighting has occurred amidst woods
and brushwood, the use of this class
of light is attended with difficulty.
The need for special form of light for
this purpose having been recognized,
the Austrian medical service have
been experimenting with portable
electric lanterns, fed by secondary
batteries contained in the knapsacks of
the men who carry them. These ex-
periments, concludes the Electrical
ReUietC, have been carried out under
conditions as nearly as possible similar
to those which would occur in actual
warfare, and the results were so en-
couraging that it is highly probable
