THBSSTANDARD AND EXPRESS. Ity SMITH, WIKLE & CO.] Far tho A Express.) C L AJEt -A. . Truiiilfi frtn tk Frtvk It liti L C. Ssffori I. Clara Falkland was an excellent daughter, but, although her mother was dead and she was yet unmarried, she lived at York eighty leagues from the home of her father in Jxindon. What wad the cause of this separa tion? A deceitful and cunning woman had married the son of Mr. Falkland, ami, coming to live in the household of her father-in-law, had taken con trol of everything. After the death of her young husband she still main tained this control, and, abusing her power over Mr. Falkland, bad pro cured the banishment of Clara with whom, she said, she could not agree. Mr. Falkland, under pretext of obli gations due to an old aunt at York from whom they expected a rich in heritance, sent Clara to live with her. From the time she left her father Clara’s wicked sister worked more and more to alienate his heart. Bhe evai intercepted the letters that wore written on either side, so that Mr. Falkland believed that Clara cherish ed against him a spirit of resentment and 'lll-will; whilst, on her part, Clara might have thought that her fa|hcr had become indillereut to her and loved her no longer. indeed, she did not believe it; such a thought could not lodge In her pure and tender heart, but, seeing herself so cruelly neglected, she was very unhappy. In the midst of her molanclioly, it was noised abroad in York that a terrible pestilence had broken out in London. This rumor was only too true, it was in 1665, when appeared in London that aw ful plague which desolated the north ern portion of the great city, carrying oftin less than a month thousands of its inhabitants. At llrst, in York, as in other parts of England, the fatal news was com municated with the utmost caution, and the town authorities and the public journals strove to hide or weuken the account. Hut the pestileuce spread with such frightful rapidity, the rumors became so alarming, that it was no longer possible to arrest the tidings. De spite all the precautions taken to hide the truth from Clara, she discovered her father’s peril. The news at first chilled her blood with horror, but love shortly revived her courage and inspired her with a strength beyond her sex and age. Her resolution was taken. With out deliberating or hesitating she went to her aunt and said: “ The plague has appeared in Lon don : my father is probably still in that city, and I am going to him.” And as she foresaw the objections of her aunt, she allowed her no time to state them and added immediate ly: “ if ire is exposed to coutagiou it is I who should share the danger with him; if he is ill, it is I who should take care of him. No other person has a right like mine; to no other is tVklc ««.v. vU jmv v»*v van r w iau it like me. Igo this evening. Oth erwise, what can I do? Write? But who knows if he will answer me? And whilst I await the answer what may not happen ? You will say that perhaps my father has already left London and is in safety. Oh, that I were certain of this! But, as it is, I must go immediately. Do not fear. I shall not rush heedlessly into dan ger. Before entering into London I shall stop some hours in the suburbs, and find some means of hearing from my father. Should he have left the city I will return to you ; should he be there, I will remain with him.” Her aunt, seeing how firm was her resolve, found no words to retain her; she could only praise her for her devotion. “ lk*ar child,” she st\id, “ you run into the danger from which others fly, but it is your duty—l see that. Alas! who knows if I shall ever again meet you.” Her eyes filled with tears as she added, “Remember that religion makes it a sacred obligation not to expose your life without necessity. Take then all the precaution that prudence can dictate to preserve yourself from disease.” Whilst the devoted daughter has tened the preparations for her depart ure, her aunt consulted for her a cel ebrated physician of Cork. This physician had been in the eastern countries where the plague often pre vailed, and he explained clearly the best ways to employ for treating this malady and warding otf its approach. The aunt communicatad these to Clara, and also gave her a small ease of medicines put up by this skillful doctor. She attached to her neck a relic in the form of a cross, a precious heirloom in the family, and allowed her to depart, having called up#u her head all 1 it* blessings of Heaven and promise u with many tears that she would pray earnestly .for her every day. Clara took with her a man servant and a lady’s maid, who promised to accompany her to the suburbs of London; but declared that they would not enter into the quarter of the city where the pestilence raged. Clara, indeed, did not ask them, for she felt that she had the right to expose her own life, but not that of others. As she advanced towards London the road was crowded with fugitives as eager to escape from the scene of peril as she was to approach it. Rich, poor, men, women, children, all fled, bearing with them their cherished possessions, and they look ed with astonishment mingled with terror at one travelling towards the doomed city. The countenances of some of these fugatives were the image of despair. The cheeks of some were bathed with tears and at times they broke forth in heavy sobs; it was easy to see that these persons had lost dear friends. Some in their rapid flight cast be hind them sad and troubled looks as if they accused themselves of having deserted the beings whom they loved best and reproached themselves for the selfishness of their flight. Others again had pale cheeks, pur ple lips, sunken eyes, which announc ed that, without knowing it, they bore with them the dread disease they sought to escape. This sight was alarming, but it re doubled instead of enfeebling the courage of Clara. She stopped near the western part of London, and sent | to Southwark, a district to which they assured her the plague*had not j yet penetrated, the man who accom panied her to obtain news. Await ing his return, she studied and learn ed by heart, the directions given by the physician of York. < At the end of some hours, tho man returned and brought intelligence tiiat Southwark was perfectly unin fected, separated as it was from the rest of London by the Thames river. Clara went thither immediately, fol lowed by her two servants. Groups of people were scattered in the streets; they related with horror the ravages of the plague; they add-; ed frightful details about the cruel- 1 ties and crimes committed not only by wretches greedy for gain who robbed the unfortunates who could not defend themselves, bu. also, hor rible to tell, by the nurses of the sick, j Clara listened trembling to these re- ! citals. She heard, then, certain informa tion. The plague had prevailed for days in the parish of Saint Giles where was the home of her father. But had he quitted Loudon? Wus he attacked by the pestilence? Were his servants and daughter-in-law with him? No one could answer her. She resolved to find out for herself. At the approach of night she left her two servants in Southwark, and, by means of gold, obtained a man with a cart and a horse who consented to brave the danger and convey her to the infected region. Having crossed the river, she en tered the plague-invaded parish. (TO BE CONTINUED.) HOPE. Hope has the power of soaring with a strong and untiring pinion from all that is dark and drear, into the rad hint atmosphere of poe try. It takes us into a world of dreams, and causes the heart to wan der amongst visions. It diverts the thoughts from the real to the ideal, and leads us amongst the picture gleams of fancy to linger in the fairy realms of art. It hastens us into a visionary world, that we may have dreams of glory, power, and fame. It unfolds a dazzling scroll, and shows us engraven on it an immortal name. Its holy task is to exhibit to us, even when cure surrounds us, and we are treading along a harsh path, a time of dizzy joys, and change into bright enchantments the stern reali ties of actual life. Nor do the strength of its dreams, the nobleness of its desires, and the beauty of its thoughts, cease to actuate and influ ence our hearts even when life grows pale and wanes fast, when we turn our thoughts from earth to heaven, on the couch of sickness and weak ness) and when the faint voice and fainter pulse speak in warning whis pers of a time to die. It boldly walks a'ong with us, prompting the spirit never to repine, from the cradle to the grave. We all hope. In every one of us that passion finds an object to feed upon. We all form some beau-ideal —we all sketch some fancy portrait, w hich we fondly cherish and hone to uuu mo mir original. wnen nope first sheds its influence upon the heart, all one’s roving thoughts are concentrated upon one object. A vacuum within is filled, of which we have never before known the extent. Heedless indifference to success in life forsakes one. Anew stimulous succeeds; the mind revolves splen did success. All the alluring avenues of fame spread open before us. We burn to achieve some arduous enter prise which shall be worthy of the mind of man. But strong as is the spell to hope to incite and inspires us, equally strong is it to elude and to deceive us. The fraud is sweet, but bitter pain and keen despair await to torment us up on our awaking and finding its chain broken and lying around us in glit tering fragments. The heart that trusts the syren smile of hope drinks the most copious draught of pleasure while it grasps its soul-sought treas ure ; but when the mystic gleam de parts, the heart sinks coldly, and too often breaks amidst the world’s un kindness. LOVE NOT ELOQUENT. O, young ladies, you are unwise in expecting eloquence from a lover. A man who really loves you will never be eloquent before lie "is assured of your state or feeling towards him; not always—l should say, on the con trary, rarely—then. 'When your beauty, your grace, accomplishments, good qualities, &c., have wrought on a man to such a degree that he feels the world can give him nothing com parable to your love; when the very sight of you at a distance makes his heart flutter; when he feels jealous of every man under the age of sixty who approaches you, and is tempted to strangle every good-looking cox comb who pays you a compliment; when half distracted by the alterna tions of hope and despair, he ventures at last to learn his fate from yq'u' lips—do you expect eloquence at such a time ? If you do, you expect him to behave as a man in love never would or never could. Nothing is easier than a flirtation with a wo- I man you do not love. Os course you ! like her a little or you would not take the trouble to flirt with her. But when you begin to love a woman you are no longer capable of flirta tion. When your admirer is awk ward and timid and silent, and hard ly dares to look at you; when his hand trembles at the chance contact with yours, and he hardly dares to hold it lest he should ofl'end you ; when, at last, after a sore struggle, there comes the faltering avowal from the overcharged heart, in these few but expressive words, “ I love you!”—then, if I were a woman I should feel well pleased to dispense with the eloquence of words. MORAL COURAGE. Os all the cowards the moral cow ard is the most contemptible. Hen ry Ward Beecher says: “ I don’t blame a man when he sees a squad of cavalry coming down upon him if he takes to the woods pretty lively, but a man who makes his resolution in calm moments, good, true and noble resolutions and when in company has not the courage to avow them, is not excusable. There be many who will not lie deliberate ly but they will equivocate. There’s many a man that having done cer tain things, is ashamed to admit it, he hides it. Now, though the tell ing of the truth is sometimes bitter, there is no gold so valuable as that man’s reputation who can’t lie when brought to trial.” True. Mr. Beecher, true; but how little of this genuine moral courage after all is found in the world. Geo. Washington, it is said, could not tell a lie; but with that single exception, and we have only George’s word for it, we do not remember to have seen on record anywhere an account of a man, who could not, if he would, do it occasionally. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA. THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 1872. MR. GREELEY’S LETTER OF At CEPT ANCE OF THE DEMO ; CRATIO NOMINATION. New York , July 18, 1872.—Gentle men : Upon mature deliberation it seems fit that I should give to your letter of the 10th instant some further 1 and fuller response than the hasty, unpremeditated words in which I ac knowledged and accepted your nomi nation at our meeting on the 12th. That your convention saw fit to accord its highest honor to one who had been prominently, pointedly, opposed to your party in the earnest and angry controversies of the last forty years, and essentially noteworthy that many of you originally preferred that the Liberal Republicans should present another candidate for President, and would more readily have united with us in the support of Adams or Trum bull, Davis or Brown. It is well known that I owe my adoption at Baltimore wiiolly to the fact that I had already been nominated at Cin cinnati, and that a concentration of j forces upou any new ticket had been 1 proved impracticable. Gratified as i am at your concurrence in the Cincin nati nominations, certain as I am that you would not have thus concurred, had you not deemed me upright and capable, I find nothing in the circum stances calculated to inflame vanity or nourish self-conceit. But that your convention saw fit in adopting the Cincinnati ticket, to re-affirm the Cin cinnati platform, is to me a source of the profoundest satisfaction. That body was constrained to take this im portant step by no party necessity, real or supposed. It might have ac cepted the candidates of the Liberal Republicans upon grounds entirely its own, or it mig ht have presented them as the first W hig National Conven tion did Harrison and Tyler, without adopting any platform whatever. That it chose to plant itself deliber ately, by a vote nearly unanimous, upon the fullest and clearest enuncia tion of the principles which are at once incontestably Republican and emphatically Democratic, gives trust worthy assurance that anew and more auspicious era is dawning upon our long distracted country. Some of the best years and best efforts of my life were devoted to a struggle against chattel slavery, a struggle none the less earnest or arduous because respect for constitutional obligations con strained me to act for the most part on the defensive at a distance. Through out most of those years my vision was cheered, my exertions were rarely an imated by even so much as a hope that I should live to see my country peopled by freemen alone. The af firmance by your convention of the Cincinnati platform is a most conclu sive proof that not merely is slavery abolished, but that its spirit is ex tinct ; that despite the protests of a respectable but isolated few, there re mains among us no party and no for midable interest which regrets the overthrow or desires the establish ment of human bondage w T hetlier in letter or in spirit. lam therefore jus tified in my hope and trust, that the first century of American independ ence will not close before the grand elemental truth on which its rightful ness was based by Jefferson and the Continental Congress of ’76 will no longer he regarded as glittering gen eralities, hut will have become the universally accepted and honored foundation of our political fabric. I demand the prompt application of those principles to our existing condi tion. Having done what I could for the complete emancipation of the blacks, I now insist on the full en franchisement of all my white coun trymen. Let no one say the bar has just been removed from all hut a few hundred elderly gentlemen, to whom eligibility to office can beofdittlecou; the "hundred proscribed, but the mill ion who are denied the right to be ruled and represented hymen of their unfettered choice. Proscription were absurd if these did not wish to elect the very men whom they are forbidden to choose. I have a profound regard for the peo ple of that New England wherein I was horn—-in whose common schools 1 was taught. I rank no other peo ple above them in intelligence, capac ity and moral worth. But while they do many thing’s well and some admi rably, there is one thing which I am sure they can’t wisely or safely, and that is the selection for States remote from and unlike their own of the per sons by whom those States shall be represented in Congress. If they could do this to good purpose, then republican institutions were unfit and aristocracy the only true political sys tem. Yet, what have we recently witnessed? Zebulon B. Vance, the unquestioned choice of a large major ity of the present Legislature of North Carolina —a majority hacked by a ma jority of the people who voted at his election—refused the seat in the Fed eral Senate to which he was fairly chosen, and the Legislature thus con strained to choose another in his stead or leave the State unrepresented for years. The votes of New England thus deprived North Carolina of the Senator of her choice, and compelled her to send another in his stead— another who, in our late contest, was, like Vance, a rebel and a fighting reb el, but who had not served in Con gress before the war, as Vance had, though the latter remained faithful to the Union till after the close of his term. I protest against the disfran chisement of a State, presumptively of a number of States, on grounds so narrow and technical as this. The fact that the same Senate which refused Vance his seat proceeded to remove the disabilities after that seat had been filled by another, only serves to place in the strongest light the indignity to North Carolina, and the arbitrary, capricious tyranny which dictated it. I thank you, gen tlemen, that my name is to be con spicuously associated with yours in a determined effort to render amnesty complete and universal in spirit as well as in letter. A defeat in such a cause would leave no sting, while tri umph would rank it with those vic tories which no blood reddens, and which evoke no tears but those of grat itude and joy. Gentlemen, your plat form, which is also mine, assures me that Democracy is not henceforth to to stand for one thing and Republi canism for another, but that those terms are to mean in politics, as they have always meant in the dictionary, substantially one and the same tiling, namely, equal rights, regardless of creed or clime or color. I hail this as a genuine new departure from out worn feuds and meaningless conten tions in the direction of progress and reform. Whether I shall be found worthy to bear the standard of the great Liberal movement which the I American people have inaugurated is to be determined not by words but by deeds. With me. if i steadily ad vance —over me, if I falter—this grand army moves to achieve for our coun try her glorious beneficent destiny. I remain, gentlemen, yours, Horace Greeley. A decision has lately been made by the highest ecclesiastical authority of the Anglican Church in the long-con tested Bennett case, which will be read with something deeper than in terest by the members of the Protest ant Episcopal Church in this country, and with interest at least by all relig ious denominations. The decision it self is simply this —that the doctrine of the real presence in the eucharist is true, and not what the low church men declare, a Romish error. A dis tinction is and rawn between this dogma and the Romish transubstantiation, the former being termed consubstan tion, and implies that after consecra tion the eucharist contains the body of Christ, white the latter maintains that it is convexted into the same. Agricultural Department. PREPARE FOR THE WHEAT j CROP. Fsom the Plantation.] It had been the intention of the j writer to prepare an article for “ The .Plantation” on the subject of 1 I preparation for wheat. By this mail) the following letter of inquiry was. received. Tho inquiries can be an- ; swered and the general subject con sidered in the same article. The sui>- juct of the inquiries Is one of general j interest: ; “ Calhoun, Ga., July 1,1872. “ diet. C. WHoward, Kingston, Ga: “ Deau Sir—l am desirous of us ing lime on my wheat land this eom ing fall, and feeling assured that your knowledge from the beneficial results from the application of lime and the mode of applying it can scarcely be excelled, I will write you for infor mation. My laud has a gray soil with a stiff clay foundation. To make a compost of leaves and fence corner scraping, how much lime should I use, and in what proportion, for one acre ? “ When is the proper time to make a compost for wheat—or, in other words, would it do made now and let remain in open air till fall? “ What is your price for lime for agricultural purposes? “ Will be pleased to hear from you soon, and you will greatly oblige, “ Respectfully, J. M. Reeve.” It is doubtful whether decomposi tion will have advanced sufficiently to materially benefit the next wheat I crop, in a compost heap prepared at j this time. It would be quite as well to haul the vegetable matter at once ! to the field designed to be sown in j wheat, plow it under, and then scat- J ter the lime and harrow it in, so that i the lime shall be above the matter to jbe decomposed. Lime should never be i turned under with the plow. Its tend- Jency is to sink rapidly. If turned ; under at the same time with vegeta- I ble matter, it will he below it and, ! therefore, fail to act upon it. The quantity of lime to he applied !to the soil varies greatly. In the granite formation, thirty bushels to : the acre broadcast is generally suffi cient. If used for corn, fifteen bush els to the acre, applied in the furrow upon vegetable matter previously placed at the bottom in the fall or winter, will greatly increase the crop. On what are called limestone lands, a much larger quantity is necessary, the application frequently being two hundred bushels to the acre. Why this difference between the two kinds of land in this particular the writer does not know, unless it be that sand is found in the granite formation, and it is usually absent in the limestone —the latter, apart from its vegetable matter, being composed very largely of clay, and destitute of sand. But this is for Chemists to determine. Mr. Reeve will find no more lime in his blue limestone Gordon county land than he would find in Cobh or Fulton county land. What has become of it nobody knows, but it is gone. On these lands, experience has proved that a very heavy dressing of lime is necessary to produce a good effect such a dressing as would burn up the crop in a freestone farm. This remark does not hold good in regard to composts. The amount used would be the same in both for mations, as the effect is simply to re duce a given amount of vegetable food of the crop than the tire lias to do with the nutritive properties of meat in the pot—both are employed in cooking. Applied broadcast, the purposes and results are different. In this case, the lime slowly decomposes the vegetable matter in the soil, gradual ly liberates valuable salts from exist ing and useless combinations, and operates mechanically, compacting a sandy and loosening a clay soil. The best application of lime broadcast is to new ground. The next best upon a sod of artificial grass, or broom sedge, or crab grass, or a heavy coat of weeds. This is a slow process. Im mediate benefit from this application cannot he expected—certainly not in the first crop. But it will be found to be the basis, under a proper rota tion, of a permanent improvement. Lime in compost produces an im mediate effect, as before application it has converted inert vegetable mat ter into food for plants. But it re quires two or three months to produce tnis decomposition. It is impossible to determine in ad vance the quantity of lime to be used in a compost with accuracy. Gene rally speaking, a layer of Vegetable matter twelve inches thick might he covered with lime one inch thick, with the continuance of this relative quantity until the heap is completed. After the heap has been thoroughly wet with rain, it should be cut down with the spade and thrown back wards, making anew heap. In this way the materials are perfectly incor porated. On the whole the broadcast appli cation is the cheaper, and, in the present condition of our labor, is per haps the better form. Lime for manure can be bought of Mr. George H. Waring, at his quarry near Kingston, loacied, at twenty-two cents per bushel—but only for 'agri cultural purposes strictly, at this price. In this case, farmers must send their own barrels or hogsheads, which are brought by the railroad free. The good wheat crop of this year and good prices will, it is to be hoped, stimulate increased attention to this valuable plant. It is quite time that our enormous use of Western flour should cease. It is a suprising fact that the heaviest wheat crops in this country on record east of California have been made in Middle-Georgia. Yet the Middle-Georgians buy their flour. Wheat is usually sowed with us on corn land. This is the worst prepa ration for a wheat crop, unless the peas have been rank and the vines have been left on the ground. The admirable preparation for wheat is a clover sod turned under. But few of us have clover. It is de bated among the best European farm era whether a naked fallow is not better even than the clover sod. By a naked fallow is meant plowing the piece of ground designed for wheat in the spring, repeating this three or four times during the summer, and sowing early in the fall. This seems to be a good deal of labor, but it is, i even then, leas labor than a corn crop, las there is no hoeing. Twenty bush els of wheat from an acre are always worth a good deal more than twenty bushels of corn. Why, then, not give the wheat equal labor with the corn. Although at war with the received opinion, that two green crops should never follow each other, it is found that wheat follows oats extremely well. As it is too late for a regular fallow, and as few of us have clover, it is suggested that we follow our oats with wheat this fall. To do this, the oat ground should be plow ed, or harrowed with a heavy-loaded harrow, to cause the oats that have been left or shed to vegetate. As i soon as they have started fairly to ; grow, they should be plowed under | with a two-horse plow. If grass or weeds spring, the ground should be harrowed as soon as they appear. At the proper time, the wheat crop should be sowed and plowed or harrowed in. 1 It may be said by the cotton planter, jgF f I* “ I can’t stop picking my cotton to do all tins.” Very true. And you can’t stop going to ruin, as fast as "the cotton crop can carry you. But there j are some who iuive been wise enough f to plant only such an amount of cot ■ ton as will give them timeintelligent |ly to diversify their culture. To I such persons the adyie* is given, in . ! the absence of clover or without a l j full naked fallow, to sow their wheat I on oat stubbie treated as has been sug gested. In wheat-growing we encounter j three dangers—rust, the fiy, and er ratic frosts. Bluestone lues made | smut inexcusable. We can usually i avoid rust by very early sowing. I But then we run the risk of the fly and late frosts. We can avoid the ] fly and frosts by late sowing, but j then we are in danger from rust. Our safest plan is to sow quite ear ly and pasture with sheep. This will usually guard against the fly, frost and rust. The precaution is not in fallible, but offers the best security against these enemies of the wheat crop. ' H. POLITICAL. A correspondent of one of our wes tern exchanges gives the following idea of the state of parties in Halifax county, N. C.: “ How many white Republicans are there in this county?” “Seventeen.” “What! is that all in a county containing over twenty, three hun dred Republicans?” “ Yes, sir ; that is all.” “ Are these Northerners or South erners ?” “ Fourteen are Southern men— scalawags, we call them—and there | are three Northern men.” “ How many are in office?” “ Every one.” “ Are they all for Grant?” “ They are unanimously for him.” “How do they stand in the com mumty?” “ Two of the Northern men stand well, and are believed to be Republi cans from principle. The others are at a low ebb—men without much character before the war or since.” GOLDEN* WORDS. No man is so great as mankind. Manners are stronger than laws. Mediocrity is beneath a brave soul. It is impious in a good man to be sad. Civility costs nothing, and buys everything. Man! thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear. Melancholy attend on the best joys of a merely ideal life. It is with our judgments as our watches, none go just alike, yet each believes his own. Men are generally more careful of the breed of their liorsesand dogs than of their children. Friendship closes its eyes rather than see the moon eclipsed ; while malice denies that it is ever at the full. LAY ASIDE YOUR LONG FACES. Emerson says: “Do not hang adis raal picture on your wall, and do not deal with sables and glooms in your conversation.” Beecher follows with: “Away with these fellows who go howling through life; all the while passing for birds of paradise. He that cannot laugh and be gay should look well to himself. lie should fast. and pray until his face breaks forth into light,” Talmage then takes up the strain: “ Some people have an idea that they comfort the afflicted when they groan over them. Don’t driven hearse through a man’s soul.” When you bind up a broken bone of the aasftoTMfenroi easn+o-rF : *Va i tor saert counselings and admonitions lay aside your long faces. The inducement of SIOO,OOO offered by the New York Legislature to the person who shall discover the best means of applying steam to canal nav igation, has brought out quite a num ber of competitors, and there is rea sonable ground to hope that the time is rapidly approaching when steam will wholly supercede horse-power. Besides the competitors who apply steam directly to the propulsion of the boats, others are trying for the prize who propose steam towage. An in teresting trial of “ Williams’s Canal Road Steamer” recently took place near Albany, New York, in the pres ence of three commissioners of the New Y ork board of public works, and seems to have been quite satisfactory. The steamer, which ran on the tow path, drew three boats wfith the great est ease at the rate of three and a half miles an hour. By a careful compar ison it is estimated that the expense of towage by this steamer would he much less than by horse-power, and that by the use of steam a saving of nearly fifty per cent, in time would be accomplished. The Western Union Telegraph Com pany has recently published in the London journals an advertisement in viting proposals for a seven per cent, loan of $1,500,000 to be applied to the construction of a large eight story building, at the corner of Broadway and Dcy streets, New York, the cost of the site being $850,000, and the cost of the building and fittings being $650,000. This advertisement con tains an interesting narrative of the operations and business ofthecompa pany, the details of which are usually kept secret in this country. From this narrative it appears that the Wes tern Union Telegraph Company has in operation 60,502 miles of line and 133,890 miles of wire. The gross re ceipts of the company for the year ending May Ist, 1872, amounted to $8,254,694, and the net profits amount ed to $2,697,816. The aggregate re ceipts for the five years ending May Ist, 1872, amount to $38,035,456, giv ing an average of $7,607,091 per an num. Os the five thousand French guns taken in the war, twenty-two huge specimens have been set apart for a monster bell to be cast for the Cathe dral at Cologne. The bell is to weigh fifty thousand pounds, and will be seventy feet high, wi th a diameter of thirteen feet at its base. With the exception of the Ivan Veliki at Mos cow—which is a gorig rather than a bell, having no clapper, and being struck with a hammer—it will be the largest on the continent, and will even exceed Big Ben.
