A Visit to iunkun. This "siiont
city" still lives aud has its being. Tho
sreen grass of productive spring rears its
stately head on tracts of land not far from
the business' portion of tho town, and the
puths laid out for man to trod upon have
filled their mission, and retired into obsou
rity, tho mantle of Canada thistles, mullen
tu!ks, and other ptoduots of mother earth,
maiking thoir resting place. But "with alt
thy faults I love the still.- Franklin that
as tu havo.becn, never was, aud it is now
too late for her ever to be. The politician
peeps from bis domicile with the air of a
money king, and the realm abounds with

have temporarily released their grasp, and
h ve an eye to business! It it there our
immortal Congressman dwells, pouring over
hia legal points, and studying how to dis
please Lis constituents the mo3t succcssiiilly.
Franklin, however, is potsessod of mauy
good citizen, a redeeming feature, and like
him whoso name sbo boars, are cautious,
cienlilic in their oaUIng, and although tboy
may never put ligblnin, or its equivalent,

Cabels have become so numerous, and the
prospect of additional lines have become so
certain, that the formation in England of
the 'Telegraph" Construction and Mainten
ance Company" was not effected too soon.
This company has aaiiuired control of the
steamship Great Eastern, and employs that
vessel, with suitable machinery, to lay ca
bles in every part ot tho world. Tho Great
Eastern, after completing her work of laying
the French cable from Brost to St. I'ierro,
immediately started on her roturn to Eng
land. She has now arrived at Liverpool,
where elio will be refitted and prepared for
her voyage arufind the Capo of Good Hope.
This new expedition is for the purpose of
laying the Indian cable.
The Great Eastern, when refitted up, will
steam round to Shoerncss, to the confluenco
of tho Medwsy and tho Thames, below Lou
don, and receive tho British Indian cablo in
tbe sumo manner as she shipped the Atlan
tio cable. Only that portion of the main
cable, which runs from Aden to Bombeyi
will bo placed on the Gieat Eastern, aud
tbe Red Bea sections will be shipped on the
Cbiltern and Scauderia. The Cfailecrn is
to be retained permanently by the Construe
ion Company for special services as a re
pairing ship. Tbe Great Eastern, on ber
trip out to India, will be commanded by
Captain Ualpin, and Henry Forde, now en
gaged in superintending tbe construction in
tbe cable, will go out in charge. The en
tire line, it is anticipated, will be laid by
May 1. 1870;
A singular case came up before a Pitts
burgh alderman on Tuesday of last week,
A man residing at Butchers Run, in tho
Seventh ward, Allegheny, called aud stated
that he had committed adultery with the
wife of a person residing there. Ho. said
that suit was to be brought against the
woman and he desired to give evidence in
it. The alderman thought possibly that
his visitor was not making tho accusation
In good faith, and informed him of bis bi
llet'. Thereon tho seeker after justice took
a formal oath that be was guilty of the of
fence, and subsequently returned with the
woman's husband. Information was tbon
made against her for adultery, and she was
required to give bail for a hearing. The
criminal, who confessed his offense and urg.
ed the prosecution, mhas not been olested so
far. '
The great (ire at Philadelphia developed
one rather startling fact: that buildings
considered perfectly lire nroof. were scarce.
ly better able to withstand the fury of the
lire, than those or wood. Several buildings,
constructed ol brick aud stone, with walls
II inches thick, and iron shutters, burned
"almost as if made of wood." There are
an immense number of valuable buildings
in the ceutitry, supposed to be fire proof,
that may possibly be overtaken bv a similar
calamity. Tbe case or the Philadelphia
structure should bo examined into and re.
ported upon.

A Jersey genius has Invented a duvice
lor watering horses when travelling or at
worn, oy wnicn tnoir thirst may be assuag
ed without stepping. Ituppears to be mure
particularly uesicnca for the benefit or
draught auimals of city strcot cars. The
bit of tbe bridle or bead stnll is made hol
low, and bag attached to it a flexible tubo
connected with a tank carried in or on the
vehicle. By pulling a string the water is
caused to flow into tho bit, and thence thru'
a suitable onuco into the horse's mouth.
This beats tbe apparatus for tilling locomo
tive tanks without stopping.

hundred yum of the start, namill coated

The referee decided the race aud all hots
