The worlds submarine cables now
number more than thirteen hundred,
according to the recent presidential ad-
dress to the London Institution of
Electrical Engineers. They have an
aggregate length OF 10000 nautical
miles, over half of them being less
than five miles long. while eight of
them exceed 1000 miles. They repre-
sent a total expenditure of about

in a cable closer than the captain can
sail his vessel, yet a break on one OF
the nglo-American lines cost almost
half a million dollars to mend. this be-

SONG AND TINE.

Go, little song where labor sleeps
When toll Is done; where sorrow keeps
Her midnight watch; where pity weeps.
Go, whisper low that toll and care
And love abide not everywhere;
That nothing lasts-as nought has stooC
Against the downward-sweeping flood
That sets to the dark deeps Of time.
Nought lasts-eNcept foolish rhyme
That men shout when the wine is bright
or girls sing TO the spindes flight,
Or women Groom to babes at night
While Kingdoms perish, faiths decay,
And men and gods are swept away,
A spart of song, wreck of rhyme
Floats on the sullen tide of time.
IF. l.. Stanton.

CITY ASSESSORS SALARIES.

The city assessors, who were duly
elected some eighteen months ago, wish
TO have the question of their salaries
settled before giving their services. On
Monday evening" in select council, the
question came up as to what the salar-
les would be for services rendered. The
matter was not then settled. James
Pidgeon, speaking for the rest, was
not willing to do any more work under
present conditions. However, after de-
liberation it was thought that wages
could be collected at the old rate of $3.50
per day, which was fixed one year ago
by resolution, and therefore they will
continue their work
