| THE HORRID LITTLE FRIGHT. © |BY MARY E. CLAKK. . Bo you have told your father you will not marry your cousin Cora? . Yes I have made up my mind that T wonld rather loose my grandfather’s money than marry that horrid: little fright. : ’ e - The first speaker was a fine "looking young man of some three and twenty years. His companion, Elliot Grantly, was about the same age, tall and ex: tremely handsome; with rich, clustering chestnut curls, lafge black eyes full of fire and intelligence, fine features, with'a very beautiful mouth filled with white, even teeth, and shaded by a dark moustache. His figtire was moulded in the perfeetion of manly symmetry. You never saw her Arnold, said he leaning over ‘the table, and speaking earnestly; you néver saw her but I went down some eight or nine years ago.to pay a visit tp my intended wife. Fancy to yourself a tall thin child of ten years old, yellow as an orange, with pinched featurcs, and a close, white cap put on to conceal the loss of her hair which was shaved off after a fit of illness. When I was intrcduced to her she dropped a little awkward courtesy and put her finger in Lov.mouth, and after staring at me in silence, she began to giggle, and finally run away. A faseinating picture truly! - - Cousip Cora is coming to pay a visit to Lucy Maxwell next week, and 1 suppose I must do the agreeable, but I never will marry that ‘horrid " little fricht! Come Arnold suppose we go down' to gee Charlotte Cushman as Lady "Macbeth? e e - Agreed! o . And the two strolled away.

~ They had hardly gone when the window curtains were drawn aside, and a tiny, fairy-like girl, stépped in from the balcony.. She was young, about fitteen ! with bright golden hair and bluc éyes. Now ain’t it a shame for Elliot’"f% talk so about Cousin Cora? soliloquised the intruder. I didn’t mean te listen, but I coeldw’t come in before Arnold ifi this dress, and she glanced at the pretty chintz wrapper. Wouldn’t it be fun if he fell in love with Cousin Cora, after all? I wonder if she is so ugly? She writes beautiful letters too me, but I've mever seen her. - I'mean to write to her what Elliot says so she shan’t fall in love with him. - ll¢’s so handsome, and the Tairy tripped awdy. = - Two young ladied some days later were standing in a brilliantly lighted parlor befure a pier-glass.© Kverything indivated that there ywere |vifitors expected.. Theroom was beautifully decorated, the ladies were i full dress.— One of them Miss Maxwell, wasa pretty girl, with a very 'sweet fifce and a pleasant winning smile; she was dress: ed in white, The other was tall and stately with beautiful features, clear white cempleetion, . with a rich warm color, and large black eyes, her hair which was wreathed like a coronet around her small, classically shaped head was black as a rayen’s wing, and the diamond’s among its braids added to her regal appearance. IHer dress was'of a garnet colored silk, flounced with black lace; and her beautifully white arms and shoulders gleamed out in' strong contrast against the dark-dress. Do I look well Lucy? ' e You never looked more beautifully. I think" diamonds suit you exactly.— Yournecklace and bracelets arc divine. But what can detain Elliott, he prom: ised to come early to meet his cousin Cora, before the others arrived. . ~ Poor fellow how disappointed. he will Yes. Miss Stanley, said Lugy laughing., There isaring! Ah héreheis! Fam very sorry that Cora was unable to pay me her promised visit, said Miss Maxwell, méeting' her guest, but I haye another guest. Dora allow me to introducd to you Mr Grantly, our dear friend Cora Grantly’s cousin. =

Elliot's low bow and glareé of intense admiration did not look much like disappointment. ' - Other guests arrived. = Miss Stanley with her magnificent beauty and queens ly bearing, was the belle of the evening; and none were/more devoted than’ Elliot Grantly. © Did she dance.he was her partner more than half of the time. Was she fatigued? 'He hafiled her to her chair and fanned her. *A 5 A\% Day after day passed ;anaa-mzfi%*é%% eonstantly” at Mr Maxwells. = Mﬁ@ Stanley, "while she was deluged’ with' Lattentions from every quarter, showed Elliot especial favor.

' No, Laey, T resolved, if 1 could win his love, no pains should be spared. - Now I feel humiliated to think that I bave ever stooped to try to gain it. / I dolovehim but névertheless [ will refuse him, " And how will you bear it ~ Perhaps he will turn to his cousin, Cora, for eonsolation; if not; I can eav sily bring him to my feetagain, . = * The next day, Mr Grantly; to his profound astonishment, was refused by Miss Stanly. He could not understand it. . Full lof indignation at what he termed he: termed her coquetry, he determined to visit his Cousin Cora; and, if he found ker improved, marry her to show that he cared for his rejection. Tull of this idea, he started for his uncle’s. A long journey somewhat cooled his disappointment; and he had resolved to pay a flying visit to his relative and then return once more to attach Miss Stanley’s heart, lang before he reached his uncle’s house. 47

. Mr. Rarey on Blinkers. . - The cabmen of Loudon having asked M. Rarey..to give his opinion of the use of “blinkers” on korses, he has replied through the London Zimes, stating that "his obgervation and experience is entirely against their use. He gagae uitia B I have proved by my own experiments that a horse broken without blinkers can be driven past any omnibus, cab or carriage, on a. parallel ‘line, as close as it is possible for him to go, without waverihg, or showing any disposition to dodge. 1 have not in the Ilast eight or ten years constantly handling harses, both wild and nervous, ever put blinkers on any of them, and in no case have I ever had one that was atraid of the carriage he drew behind him or of those he passed in the strects. : b : ; :

Mr. Rarey informs the cabmen that blinkers arc rapidly guving out of use in the United States, and ‘insists that they are an unnecessary and imjurious incimbrance to the horse, and that the horse¢, when permitted to see, uses his eyes with great judgement. His sight is strong and quick, and his eye is the index of all his'emotions. Horses he says arc. only fearful of objects they do not understand or are not familliar with, and the eye is one of the prineipal mediums by which this understanding and this familiarity are brought about ‘ ;

The use of blinkers and tight clxcckg‘ reins is gonc or going out of fashion among good and humane horsemen in this country, and happily - Mr. Rarey is inculeating lessons of humanity towards the noblest of animals at home and abroad. . . : Ses B altgpenan TEoO ; Restoration of Reason—A Remarka- . ble-Kase. . ... . The (Cleveland Ilerald of Monday last contains the following very interesting account of a surgical operation upon 2 lunatie, which resulted in the entirg, restoration of his reason. The mar was thrown from a wagon about five years sinee, fracturivg his skull Against a fense stake, the injury bringon violent derangement, which.became permanent. Ife was taken to the luna: tic assylum, where he remained somc time until he was discharged as incuras ble, and finally ®wganded to the county jail,&vhere he has remained for about a year past. His wifc engaged the servie--es of Dr. Thayer, to attempt the oure of her unfortunate husband. =~ After examinin;iz/lﬁz ease, Dr. T———— found that a povtion of the skull ‘much depressed and resolved to remove it.. On entering the cell for that purpese; on Friday the man became greatly ens raged, and poured out volumes of exerceations on the doctor; as ﬂfé’dgh ‘he was aware of the business he came on. At the order qf jailor. Frazee, the lunatic luid down on. his bed, when he was immediately confined, and copious doses' of chlorofora administered ‘until he became perfectly insensible. The depressed 'portion of « the skull —formi~g a piece a little larger than a quarter dollar—which had beeni pressing on the brain, was ‘theu taken out, and found to have thickened consideraDbly o one sidei. The head wis then bound with a bandage, saturated with water, and the. patient left to recover from his stupor, On Saturday ﬂoming ‘he awoke, arose from his bed and walks }ed up and down the room perfectly rational. He complained that the bandages, which, fir some reason that he didn’t understand, had been put on his head, hart him, and asked the attendant if they might be loosendd. (As soon as relieved from the pressure, he lay down on his bed and went 3) sleep. On his awakening, he was asked if he would like his wife to see 'him.

Arrival of ¢ "é‘m«aggm’_ re.at New York— L hﬁ%ﬁﬁn& Particulars, & . - The arrival of the stedmer Niagara at New York on Wednesday vight, 18th inst., farnishes ms with the full particulars of the laying out of her part of the Atlantic te’f)i'lzgfap!i cable. We have only space for the following, taken from the N. Y. Tribune of Thursday, 19th inst., received by last nights mails: -, % Y LANDING THE CABLE. -~ -/ Mr Field landed near the Telegraph. Station, Trinity Bay, at 2 o’clock in the morning of Aungust dth, and walk-. ed to the station house, Half a wmile distant, through the wilderness, not a person being visible on the beach. At the Telegraph House he found the operators from London fast asleep, not one of them expecting thut the enterprise would succeed, Ind@ﬂwi had not unpacked ' thejr trunks,- anticipating that “in a W@ or two they.would be ordered back™o London; the station house was unfinished, work upon it had ceased, and none of thc instruments had been prepared for use. 'The astonishment of the operators, when they learned that ths cable was laid may be conceived. At 2:45 A.-M. a signal was regeived from the Agamemnon sta~ ting that she had paid out 1,010 miles of cable. Mr. Field then telegraphed to the Associated Press the glad tidings of sueecess. ith o When day broke the boats werg all lowered, and 1,300 fathoms of cable were carried ashore. First Lieut. dJ. H. North handed the shore end to Capt. Hudson, who placed it on the beaeh. A proccssion was then formed, headed by Capt. Hudson and Lieuf. ‘North, followed by the officers of the Niagara, captains of the Gorgon and Poreupine, their officers and crews, and the crew of the Niagara. HKach taking hold of the cable they marched up from the beach to the station house, a distance of half a mile, where they deposited the ‘end of the cable. Capt. Hudson then offered prayerand -a few res marks appropriate to the-occasion, when the ceremony of landing terminated. The officers and crews then returned to their respective boats, reaching their vessels at 6 o’clock in the merning.— The Gorgon and Porcupine carried the American flag at the fore, the Niagara the English flag at the fore, and the ‘Telagraph flag at. the mizzen. . The Agamemnon telegraphed at 1 P. M., on the same ‘day (Thursday Aug. 5) that she had landed' herend of the cable. On the announcement L'of this fact, the Gorgon ﬁﬁ a salute of twenty-one guns, and her crew, man.ning’ the rigging, gave three hearty cheers, which were ad heartily retarns ied from the Niagara. All hands then went below to rest from their labors.

In conversation with Mr. Field, we learn that the reason ‘why signals and not words were sent through the cable’ as it was being laid is that on the previous attempt the clerks indulged in irrelevant conversation, which distracted their attention from duty ata time when the slightest obstruction might be futal to the work. The Directors therefore ordered that signals-only should be sent through the cable from ship to ship.— Both vessels had Greenwich sime, and the electric current played to and fro between them for ten minutes each WAY. e "2:» S o aee g

. Thesignals showed that on the first day the speed of tho ‘Agamemnon but on the succeeding days they went at the samo rate, there never being more than twenty miles difference between them. \When the cable was landed at both.ends Mr. Ficld applied hisstongue to the end of the cahle and received the cheering information that the insulation was perfect, in a shock that nearly threw him over. The tea~ son why' messages'wert not transmitted earlier was the fuaet all the apparatus at botl ends was new and untiied and re‘quired a deal of ‘care and 'skill to nd: fumst e S lURYIeE B e o :

M. Field states that there is not the slightest doubt that the cable isian entire suecess; as great, or greater: than’ its most sanguine. ffiends had lovked forward to. By the Porsia yesterday he wrote to the directors to prepare another eable at once, as'ip is'evident that' the present ‘one, which willin-a shost time he. believes, transmit . messages. as rapidly as an acrial line, will .be en-, tirely insufficient for the busiuess which_ willflowta it -~ o

| Until the Tst of Septemberthe line | will-be closed to all messagés save tliose from the. Governments of Great Britx ain_and the United States. Daring that tinie Mr Field will keep the puiblic advised of ol nasters affobtink ek o ‘desy of . thio aabless » anualitg @ e e gowmnca‘ﬁmyéﬁmm .

ligence should: destroy the cable. On the first day after the paying out began . it was found that the cable was beifig paid but at a rate which fn proportion to tha distance run, would if coutitued, have defeated the enterprise. This was owing to ‘the fact that the cable on the Niagara had .caused so much local attractions to seriously: derange the compass, rendering it impossible to steer the ship. Next ga, commander Dayman of the Gbrgdxi{'géiag;a‘ppfiscd cj ‘the ' fact, ran ahead of the Niagara, steering in the most direct line for Trinity Bay. This he continued to do day and night until they arrived, never: leaving the ' deck except for a few moments, and verifying his position by repeated observations of the sun, moon and stars. .

It will be seen that Clatles Case, the present incumbent bhas been nominated. His only competitor ‘was Thomas. G. Harris of Elkhart, a very able and in~ - fluential mam, in whose hands, if the nomination had fallen on him, the Res publican cause would have been most vigor usly sustained. But while we . appreciate the abilities of Mr. Case’s - competitor we cannot doubt the selee- - tion made as the best. The policy of giving a member of Congress two terms or three eonsecutively, so that he may acquire experience and- position, # sou cvidently right that a compliance with it, cven in the casa of m man of indif<s ferent abilitics, is better fhen the. nomination of & new man. But Mr. Case had other rgecommendations than ong” term’s tenure Bf. the ofice. He isan industrious carnest; well informed and cuergetic man, and a ~ery eflective speaker, and hag made that sortef a . record in his br%f career that he may be ‘proud to dare am opponent to seirch it for causes of attack.
