Rabert Dale Ovens last production. From

tract:


Fortunately, SIS matter of fact, there are
no obstacles to the citizenship of the South
ern negro greater than those in the way OF
the average foreign immigrants. The eman-
cipated negro is at least as industrious and
thrifty AS the Celt, takes more pride in self
support, is far more eager for education, and
mas fewer vices. 1t is impossible to name
any standard of requisites for the full rights
of citizenship which will give vote to the
Celt and exclude the negro.

pounds was sufficient to draw the cable
through it.


In order to guard against any possible
sources of accident, every preparation has
been made in case of the worst, and, in
the event of very bad weather, for cutting
the cable adritt and buoying it For this
purpose wire rope of great strength, and
no less than five miles long. having dis
tinctive mark at every one hundred
fathoms, will be taken in the Great
Eastern.


This, of course, is only designed to be
used in case of desperate cventualities
arising, and in the earnest hope that not
an inch of it will ever be required. If
its services should be wanted the cable
would be firmly made fast to its extremity
and so many hundred fathoms of the wire
rope-according to the depth of water the
cable was in-measured out. 70 the 9TH
er end of the rope an immense buoy would
be attached, and the whole then cut adrift
and left to itself till better weather. In
the experimental cruises which were un-
dertaken before the starting of the last
Atlantic expedition this attempt at buoy
ing the cable was often tried in deep wat
er of the Bay Of Biscay, but never with
any great success, and in very deep water
it would be most forlorn hope, indeed
to try it at all.-Lomdon Times Of MaS

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.


Yesterday the last mile of this great


cable was completed, and wound through


the last of the covering machines, in the


preseuce of a large number of distinguish


ed visitors who had assent bled to do hon


or to the occasion. Beyond recording the


fact of its completion very little took


place at works of the Telegraph Company


yesterday to call for special remark. All


the most distinguished electricians and


engineers, and all the leading scientific


gentlemen who have 50 long watched and


aided to the utmost of their power the


promotion of this great scheme, were pres


eut, together with all, or nearly all, the


directors of the Telegraph Maintenance


Company; Mr.. Glass, as usual, receiving


the visitors AS mere sight, there was


of course, very little to be witnessed


much less, in fact, than might have been


seen at the works any day this twelve


month past. Only one machine had half
a mile to complete--that is to say, to case


the core with Mr.. Wright's most ingen-


ious and simple patented apparatus, in


closed wire with strands of hemp which


form the outer covering. When all the


visitors were assembled this was started


and the core wound regularly and slowly


through the center of the machine, which


revolving round at a great speed, complet-


ed the outer case of hemp and iron. Work
ing at IA hours a day, each machine is
able thus to cover four miles an hour, the
avelaqe rate of manufacture for the four
machines having been about II miles per
day. AS the cable is drawn out of the
machine it passes through guage, which
congresses it firmly, and then out of the
mandatory away to the tanks, where it
is coiled under water, and every change
in its electrical condition noted with a
care and minuteness that have certainly


never been applied to any other cable.
: From first to last indeed, it has
been subjected to a series of the
most searching electrical tests,
the standard of insulation being
fixed at resistance per nautical mile

Dear John: don't forget


am something in your debt
For giving me many sinister slap;
But perhaps the recent news
May have modified your views
Say what do you think of us now, old chap?
Not many months ago,


As you very well know,
Growing Justify over each Fed raj mishap,
You swore the rebel crew


Would "put the Yankees through
And how you used to mock


At our solid Union stock;
And then--to repleniish your treasurys gap
Took the Cotton Bonds at par,
(Like donkey as you areD
Well what do you think of 'em now old chap?
Once the "honor' of the South
Was forever in your mouth,
As oft as you viewed the American map,
But since cavalier you see


With assassin to agree
Say!-What do you think of it now, old chap?
Ah.-John-that little debt


We will make it even yet,
BY giving your gouty old knuckles rap;
And when that job is done,


Well have no occasion, John,
To ask, what do you think of us now, old chap!

article on this subject Here are some ex-
tracts


THE FIRST LONG-rAILED COAT.


We do not believe that any boy put on
his long-tailed coat without sense of
shame. He first twists his back half off
looking at it in the glass, and then when
he steps ont Of doors it seems to him as if
all creation was in broad grin. The sun
laughs in the sky; the cows turn to look
at him there are faces at every window ;
his very shadow mocks him. When he
walks by the cottage where Jane lives, he
dare not look up for his life The very
strange spectacle, and the old pair ofpants
with derision, or'if he is obliged to pass
group Of men and boys, the trial assumes
its most terrific stage. His legs get mixed
up with embarrassment, and the flap Of the
dangling appendage is felt upon them, ,mov-
ed by the wind of his own agitation he
could not feel worse were it dish-cloth
worn as a badge of disgrace. 1t is hap
py time for him when he gets to church and
sits down with his coat tail under him
but he is still apprchensvc with thinking
of the Sunday School, and wonders if any
of the children will ask him to " swing his
long-tail blue"


GOING HOME WITH THE GIRLS.


The entrance into society may be said to
take place after boyhood has passed away,
yet multitude take the initiative before
their boards are presentable. 1t is great
trial, either to a tender or tough age. For
an overgrown boy to go TO door, know
ing there are a dozen girls inside, and to
knock or ring with absolute certainty that
in two minutes all their eyes will be upon
him, is severe test of courage. To go
before these and make a satisfactory tour
of the room stepping on their toes, and then
to sit down and dispose Of ones pockets, is
an achievement which few boys can boast
If boy can go so far as TO measure off ten
yards Of tape with one Of these girls and
chance to pass a pleasant evening, but let
him not flattcr himself that all the trials of
the evening are over. There comes, at last
the breaking up The dear girls don their
hoods and put on their shawls, and look so
saucy and mischieyous and unimpressible
with them. Then comes the pinch, and the
boy that has the most pluck makes up to
the prctticst Girl, his heart i'll his throat, and
his tongue clinging to the roof Of his mouth,
and crooking his elbows, stammers the
words, Shall ! see you home ~ She
touching her finger to his arm, and they
walk home about foot apart, feeling
as awkward as a couple of goSlings.
As soon as she is safe inside her own doors,

PICTURE OF THE RED SEA.-Hogarth was

paint on his staircase representation Of
the destruction of Pharoah's host in the
Red Sea In attempting to fix upon the
price, Hogarth become disgusted with the
miserly conduct Of his patron, who was un-
willing to give more than half the real val
ne Of the picture At last, out Of all patti
ence, he agreed to his terms. In two or
three days the picture was ready. The no
bleman, surprised at such expedition, i'm
mediately called to examine it, and found
the space painted all over red.

"Wherc are all the Israclites p


They have all gone over


And where are the Egyptians p


They are all drowned"
