That kissing is a custom of remote antiaultv appears from the book of Genesis (xxvii, 20'), when Isaao kissed his son Jacob. This kiss is remarkable as the first recorded in history. In- ieea, tne uibie abounds with all sorts of kisses. iVe have the kiss of homage in Esther v, 2; of abjection in 1st Samuel x, 1; of reconciliation in 2d Samuel xiv, 33; of valediction in Ruth i, oi apnronanon in rsaims n. iz: of humhia ratitude in Luke vii, 38; of welcome in Exodus, :viii, 7; of love and joy in Genesis xxix. 11: ff sorrow in Acts xx, 37; of peace in Romans xii, 2. There are also spiritual kisses, as in Canticles i, 2; sensual kisses, as in Proverbs vii, 17; and hypocritical kisses, as in 2d Samuel xv, 5. Kisses are also traitorous, such as Joab to Amasa, when he kissed and then slow (2A Snmiial v v QV a,iA Vmt rf 1 ' -' J I MM! V Jludas to Christ, when he kissed and then be vayed. It was customary to kiss the mouth nd also the beard, which latter is still prao Jised by the Arabs. Kissing tbe hand is not jKIiiblical. Kissing the feet was an expression of lowly and tender regard, in Luke vii, 38. we are told mat tne members of the Church at Ephesus wept sore at Paul's departure, "fell on his neck, and kissed him." The kiss of peace was an apostolic custom, and con tinues to be one of the rites in the eucharistio services of the Roman Catholics, which, for oovious reasons, is omutea on wood n riday. Among heathen nations it was usual to throw kisses to the sun and to the moon, and also to the images of the gods, fearful of touch ing them with profane lips. Kissing hands is first heard of among the Persians. Xenonhon relates that it was customary for them to kiss whomsoever they honored. Kissing the feet Jot a prince was a token of subjection, and was at times carried so far that the print of the jeej. received the kiss, conveying the impres sion inai ine very ausi became sacred by the royal tread. When Demosthenes was carried into a temple, he kissed his own hand by way of adoration; and when supplicating the Romans for peace, the Carthagenian ambassa dors kissed the feet of the Council. The kiss of homage, the character of which is not indi cated in the Bible, was probably upon the forehead, expressive of high respect, which was formerly, if not now, in use among the Bedouins. The Rabbins, in the falsely delicate spirit which animated much of what they wrote, did not permit more than three kinds of kisses those of reverence, of reception, and of depar ture. Kissing the foot has. been exacted by the sovereign pontiffs as a mark of respect since the eighth century. It was first paid to the Pope Constantino by the Emperor Jus - tinian, on his entry into Constantinople. When the ceremony takes place the Pope wears a slipper, embroidered with a cross, which is kissed (and not the toe, as is generally be- lieved). Recently Protestants have not been i required to do so a slight inclination of the I knee being merely expected. ' As an act of ordinary salutation the kiss is still common on the continent of Europe and i in the East. It was Interchanged by the early I Christians, in their assemblies, as a token of ; their love to one another, and took place just J prior to the communion, when (according to I the Hebrew practice, and the still existing cus f torn of oriental churches) the men and women Isat apart, the kiss of peace was given by the men to the men, and by the women to the j women. However, the peculiar circumstances I have vanished which gave propriety and em- phasis to such an expression of brotherly love 1 and Christian friendship. It was also for a 1 mark of respect . among our forefathers, that !, for one person to write or say that he "kissed 7 the hand" of another, was a formulary of equivalent import with tbe expression of obe dience and servitude with which our commu nications and intercourse with the world are now usually attended. To this frequent allu sion is made by Shakespeare and the dramatic poets. A Puzzling Footnote.

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, THE ATLANTIC CABLES. The Injury by an Iceberg Memnrti to Protect turn Vabla lu Kutur. lhe following letter was addressed to the editor of tbe London Times: Kir: Interested as all the world now in In the question ot submarine telegraphy, it will hardly need auy apoloary on my part lor forwarding you the inclosed copies of telecrrams received by me as managing director during the recent repair of the cable of 1806 in Trinity Bay. Tbe cables of 1865 and 18ti6, as they are called, once laid successfully, the next question to their proprietors was, whether they would pay, and whether they could be subject to much mjury from the drilt of the Polar ice, and con sequently entail costly and constant repair. The revenue, which this year promises to touch 450.000, or within 160,000 of the original cost of the Jast laid cable, answers the first query In a very satisfactory manner; thp second uoubt is equally well disposed of. Throughout the spilng tbe Atlantic Ocean on the" American shore was beset with nn unusual amount of ice disengaged from the Arctic regions by a slneu larly stormy winter; yet so well had th cable been carried along the deep trough of Trinity Bay that both remained intact, except In one cape. In a heavy storm an iceberg drifted into the bay, and grounded about two miles and a half lrom tbe station at Heart's Content, resting, doubtless, on the 1866 cable, and eventually criibbing it. We were requested by the Anerlo-Amerlcan Teleerarh Company to test the point at which, tbe injury had occurred, and to undertake the repair as quickly as possible. Mr. Latimer Clarke and Sir. Willough by Smith, the electrics1 engineers of tbe two companies, decided that tne Injury had occurred only at the point above indicated. The steamer Chtltern was prepared by us, and despatched on tbe 6th in stunt, under the command of Captain Edln?tou, who, you will remember, assisted in the Atlan tic cable-laying expedition of last year, with a proper stalT of competent Jpersons, under the superintendence ot Mr. Clifford, one of the com pany's engineers, and. as tbe following tele crams show, went to the spot indicated, and within a few hours effected the necessary re pairs, at a very trivial charge to the revenue of tne cables: No t From Hrart't Content Office to ITanaiiing Director.

The Insulation of both cables has im- pioved Immensely; they both give fully double tte gutta-percha resistance they did when tested last year, and both give the same results. Mem. No. 7 teleeram refers to the improve ment of the cables during the past twelve months. The ice is now gone for this season. The only cable touched will have been laid in deeper witter at that point, and the chances are that we may not have another Injury for years; at any rate, of only a similarly trivial character. That, however, I trust will be still further guarded against by having in Trinity Bay a steam vessel properly fitted to maintain the only portion of tbe Atlantic Cable likely to be injured in any way, a necessary insurance on tbe magniticeut revenue those cables are yielding. I may mention, in conclusion, as an interest ing fact, that during the repairs I received a telegram in Broad street, which lett Heart's Content Bay only thirty-five minutes previously, tbe maior portion of the time haviDg been occupied in forwarding and delivery between Valenlla, in Ireland, and London.

The Pall Hail Gazelle has tbe l'ollowiog: 'Mr. Bright yesterday aiternocn, in bisepeech on Lord Amberley's Bund ay Lectures Bill, quoted a couplet frqm Herbert's poem on 'Sun day,' and outol seven Independent reports in this morning's paper there are four ditferent versions, and not ene of them correct. The one nearest to the original is: "The week were da k without thy light, Thy torch doth point the way," Then we have variation number one: The week were dark without thy light, Thy torch to point the way." The third version is: "The weeks were dark without thy light, Thy torch to point the way." Variation number four: Tbe week were dark but for thy light, Thy light doth point the way," What George Herbert really wrote was: "The week were dark but for thy light; Thy torch doth show the way." Two of the reports attribute the lines to Heber, and one makes Mr. Bricbt talk of their author as a poet who wrote very beautifully, particu larly on religious subjects." From inventors deliver me. When a seedy looking man, with a napless ooat, soiled shirt, and uncertain eye seizes you oy tne button-hole and tells you he has a plan to revolutionize the naval architecture of the world, or a projectile which will penetrate anything but the complicated thickness of an ordnance officer's head, or a scheme to tunnel the North river, avoid that man. Ue is a foe to human happiness, lie don't care whether you can aid him or not. He never expects to succeed. Repeated disappointments have driven him mad. He is only boring you to get even. He knows you hate him and his d 4 patent; that your dinner may be grow ing cold; that your Anna Kliza may be on the verge of going to Grace Church with another fellow. But the vampire revels in your misery. He holds you by his skinny hand and glittering eye until you beat your breast in dire dismay, whether you are a wedding guest or not. I am indebted to one Coleridge lor the most of the laBt sentence. His confi dential manner, combined with a bad breath, finally drives you into a sigh for the Bmallpox or other infectious disease, that you may be quarantined from patents and patentees. Talk about what the inventors have sulTnred from the world I Look at what the world is and has been suffering from the inventors I There should be a special edict that any man invent ing anything which a competent board should pronounce useless and frivolous, should be instantly and ignominiously put to death.

The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now building west frcm Omaha, Nebraska, and form ing, with Its western connections, an unbroken line across tbe continent, attracts attention to the value of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offer the public. The first question asked by prudent Investors Is, "Are these bonds securer" Next, "Are they a profitable investment?" To reply In brief: First. Tbe early completion of the whole great Hue to thePaclfio is as certain as any future business event can be. Tbe Government grant of over twenty mil lion acres of land and fifty million dollars in its own bonds practically guarantees it. One-fourth of the work Is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate ot two miles a day. (Second. Tbe Union Pacific Railroad bonds are Issued upon what promises to be one of the most profitable lines ot railroad In the country. For many years it must be the only line connecting tbe Atlantic and Pa cific; and being without competition, it can maintain remunerative rates. Third. 376 miles of this road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, etc., and two trains are daily running each way. The materials for the remaining 141 miles to tbe eastern base of the Kocky Mountains are on band, and It Is under con tract to be done in September, Fourth. The net earnings of the sections already finished are several times greater tban the gold In terest upon the First Mortgage bonds upon such sec tions, and if not another mile of the road were built, tbe part already completed would not only pay inte rest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. Filth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be Is sued only a the road progresses, and therefore can never be In the market unless tney represent a bona fide property. Biith. Their amount Is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what Is granted by the United Slates Government, and for which it takes a second lien as lu security. This amount upon the first S17 miles west lrom Omaha la only 16,u(0 per mile. Seventh. The fact that the United States Govern ment considers a second lien upon the road a good In vestment, and that tome of the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid In five mil lion dollars upon tbe stock (which la to them a third Hen), may well inspire confidence in a first Hen. Eighth. Although it Is not claimed that tberocan be any better securities than Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such a property as this the very best security In the world, and who sell their Governments to reinvest la these bonds, thus securing a greater Interest. Ninth. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for the present at 99 cents on the dollar and accrued Interest, they are the cheapest security tn tbe market, being Is per cent, less than United States stocks. Tenth. At the current rate of premiums on gold they pay CVER NINE PER CENT. INTEREST.
