which Americans require and desire to
be informed. No Magazine follows so
closely from month to month the

The Contributors to the RE-

Protecting an Atlantic Cable


 The "core" is now finished. But as it now stands st is in no wise fitted to meet the shocks that await it at the bot tom of the sea. It must be protected against the chafng of sands and rocks and the possible wrenches of anchors. This protection lies in sheath of steel wires, separated from the soft gutta percha of the core by packing of jute. The jute is spun about the core exactly as the II copper wires of the conductor are spun about central wire, and about all, finally, is spun the steel sheathing in the same fashion.
 As one goes about among the spinning machines he notices that the sections of steel sheathing vary much in thickness. Here is one woven of 24 wires one of IS and one of 12. And the wires also vary, so that the section of fewtst wires is the largest in diameter. Here is a section made not of single wires at all, but of stands of three wires. In fact, one sees seven different varieties. The occasion for such diversity is this: In the middle of the Atlantic a cable is dropped to 8 depth of two or three statute miles, and as it is paved out to such 8 depth it must have 8 great burden to sustain in it's own weight. To make the weight as little as possible consistent with need ful quality and strength becomes, there fore, important. The deeper 8 cable is laid the less its liability to disturbance, and the deep water sections, therefore, may be made much lighter than the shallow water sections. AS the cable draws nearer the shore, where the dan. gers grow greater, 8 heavier and heavier sheathing is adopted, until, ill what if known as the "shore end,' comes the heaviest of all. .-McClure's Magazine.

Seeking NOtOriety.
BY LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

The most frequent public criticism upon
 leaders of organized groups who are work ing for unpopular ends is that "they seek
 notoriety," and it must be admitted that those who look upon us from an unfriend- ly angle of vision can hardly fail to receive this impression. But the position of one who has been placed at its head by a great association is unique. He must be known to the public if the association is to succeed. A scientist goes through the long and heavy task of experimentation, and rises to the level of his conclusions in the utmost privacy; seclusion is his necessary element. The poet dwells ''far from the madening crowd;" the novelist works his spell in secret; but the states man, the politician, the philanthropist, and the reformer, have publicity as their inevitable habitat. It is their work to win the majority, to gather host, to be themselves part of humanity's unresting tidal wave. They can no more be isolated than the coral worker who helps to build the reef, or the beam of light that seeks to bless the sod. Around their personal ities must cluster the purposes, plans and aspirations of their coadiutors. Every crystal has nucleus, and every move ment has g. leader; it is not his fault, it is often his misfortune, but there he is. Those who do not like him will say that he ''seeks notoriety;" those who believe in him will say that he is wisely using the means furnished to his hand by modern civilization, whereby the public thought may be permeated by the principles and plans to which he is devoted. In sending out the news of the society along the wires and by m ans of the press, he must permit his associates to include the news of his own movements, because the pub- | lie will often read that, and be influenced by the reasons that led him to be here and there, when his swift-moving eye would not be arrested by names that stand for less. In this fact is contained cer. tain stored-up electricity which lends mo-
 mentum to the organism upon whose uni
 ty and enlargement, as the matrix of great principles, depends the incarnation oi those principles in custom and in law.
 Therefore, the philanthropist or reform
 CT, whether it be in the small or large cir cle, must look upon the imputation oi personal motives in all that he does, and especially in the spread of propaganda with which his name has become insepar ably allied, as part of the l,' ice for un
 to this end was he born, and or this pur. pose came he into the world. He cannoi shirk the difficulties, he cannot void tho painful imputations, he must boar tht brunt and pay the price of the work he k doing, and the publicity into who's vortex it has carried him. The one great ques.

Modern Pilgrims.

''Yes, Dusty,' declared Weary Wag- gles refectively as he respectfully laid down the tomato can which he had drained of it's contents to the last drop, ''a genius must be dead many years to be appreciated. y
 ''Huh,'' replied Dusty, who was wanting in the ability to express his thoughts with the elegant grace of his fellow wanderer.
 Now, there's them pilgrim fathers that you hear people making so much fuss about Do you know what they are?''
 Dunno as does. !" -
 'tNo, of course not. You see, you haven't such good education as this here gent We'll, then, you just look in the dictionary, and you will find that pilgrim means wanderer who journeys on foot. Now, ain't that just what you and me are2''
 "Yes. ,"
 "Well, guess it was just the same with them as with us Nobody made any fuss over them until they were dead for hundreds of years. When we are dead hundreds of years, people will be making fuss over us. We will be pilgrim fathers sure, if the dictionary is right and we get married. We strug- gle now, but our posterity will be mak- ing big fuss over us. I'd rather some fuss was made over us now. But, Dusty, such is life, as the immortal poet re- marks

The story was curious. As related by the father afterward, it appeared that the common difficulty of choosing name for the babe arose. Multitudes of suggestions only confused the young parents the more, until at last it was proposed to cast the names into hat. This was done.- A romantic aunt sug- sested Theodore. The mother favored Albert, in honor of Albert Gallatin. Grandfather Simpson voted for Hiram, because he considered it 8 handsome name. The drawing resulted in two names. Hiram and Ulysses.
 Ulysses, it is said, was cast into the hat by Granddaughter Simpson, who had been reading a translation of Fene- lon's 'Tefernachus" and had been much impressed by the description of Ulysses given by Mentor to Telemachus. He was gentle of speech, benetioent of mind. |" "The most patient of men. " ''He is the friend of truth. He says nothing that is false, but when it is necessary he comedies what is true. His wisdom is a seal upon his lips, which is never broken save for an important pur- pose. '-Ha1lin Garland in McClure's.

March 29, 1867.
 The democrats of the Stafford and Un- ion probate district have nominated Judge Samuel w. Moore for reelection.
 A. D. Wakefield has closed up his meat market and grocery store, in this village, for the present. Continued i'll health is the reason for this step.
 Flavel Mosely, who succeeds I. P. Booth, of Staffordville, in the mercantile business, has moved the stock of goods from Booths old stand to the store lately occupied by Chapin Bros.
 Rev. F. l.. Batchelder has been nomi- mated for judge of probate, for the Staf- ford district, by the republicans. It would be hard to select better man for the place. He has for some time been clerk of the town of Stafford, and is 8 very correct, careful official.
 The question, "Who shall be represent ative ?" as usual is exciteing more inter est than any other phase of the election. In the east parish of Stafford the demo- crats have nominated Josiah Converse, the unsuccessful candidate for the same office last year. In West Stafford the democrats have nominated John l.. Fair man, and the republicans Alden Davis.
 Col. Foster has broken ground for his new block of stores in this village. Now if the Colonel would only put good hall in the upper part of the building 1t would be a great institution. A good hall in this village could be let to good acivant- age a great many nights during the year, and enable our citizens to enjoy many pleasures they now have to forego, for want of suitable room.
 For representatives from Union, the re- publicans have nominated A. F. Corbin and Chauncey Paul, and the democrats, Andrew Towne and Thomas Moore.
 The republicans of the Holland probate district (Tolland and Willington) have nominated Charles Underwood, of Tol- land, for judge of probate, Judge Taylor, of Willington, declining re-nomination. WILLINGToN.-The republicans of Will lington held caucus on Tuesday and nom- mated for repres' ntatives Gardner Hall and James B. Weedon, and chose the fol- lowing town committee for the ensuing year: Gardner. Hall, James B. Weedon, Daniel Edgerton and John H. Brown. The festival at the Congregational church last Thursday evening passed off pleasant ly, and realized the society about $100 above expenses. The threatening aspect of the weather interfered with the suc- cess of the fair.

Around the World In Eighty Days" was romancer's dream only few years ago. Around the world in 80 days will shortly be fact
 The Transsiberian railroad is the key to the 80 day problem, and the road will be in operation, it is thought, by 1900.
 The best possible connections at pres ent will enable traveller to go around the world ill Fl days. The average time is about one-third more. Perhaps the shortest cut would be this: New York to Southampton, Southampton to Brin- disi, by way of the Suez canal, Red sea, etc., to Yokohama; Yokohama to San Francisco, and thence over the Ameri- can continent by rail.
 The itinerary over the Transsiberian route would be as follows: New York to Bremen, 2 days; Bremen to St. Pe- tersburg, 1M days; St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, 818 days; Vladivostok to San Francisco, days; San Francisco to New York, days; total, 30 days.
 Siberia lives in the popular mind as a barren and desolate region, yet it is rich in possibilities. Coal and iron and the more precious metals are found there in abundance. The short summer is long enough to admit of good wheat yield.
 To develop this portion of it's great domain is one of the motives that spur Russia to the most gigantic railroad feat of this century.
 Nor does she mean that the new road shall ever serve as path for the in. yader. Other European tracks are stand. ard gauge. The Siberian railroad is sev. eral inches wider, and in case of war nc other nation will be able to switch en' zines and cars on to the tracks and thus convey troops to the interior.
