The country mint tie ketooUhed at the
retulu which tbs Atlantic cable has pro
duced in the earliest days of its existence
People were dispoeed to doubt it* efficacy
in transmitting news from the other side
of the world with as much accuracy as
has characterized the report of the speech
delivered by the King of Prussia in Ber
lin on Monday, and published verbatim in
ourcolomnson Thursday. Tbe success*
of tbe cable was deemed equivocal, the
permanency of its continuity is, perhaps,
•till doubtful, and can only be decided by
tima; but one thing ia certaie-rlhatit
hat been the medium of bringing us very
important newt, for which, we may add,
tb* public ia indebted to the enterprise of
the Herald; for our special correspondents
in Fttrope collected the news in Berlin, St.
Peterhurg, Peeth, London, and various
other points, and forwarded it over the ca
ble. But for this the public would have
bad very little news or importance by the
cable. Some of tbe small-fry newspapers
endeavored to turn the thing into ridicule,
but it occurs to us that there i* nothing to
to be scoffed at in the Atlantic cable, but
rather something to be applauded as an
effort of science, skill, enterprise end ge
nius. Por instance, tb* sews which wc
were enabled to lay before our readers on
Thursday, could not have been obtained
for two weeks by the ordinary channel*.
These despatches from Berlin and other
points of the continent were furnished to
the American public at a cost of $7,000
in our currency. For tbis foot tbe public
are indebted to the Herald, and were it
not for the inoompetenoy of the Executive
Committee of the Associated Press we
would be able to furnish European news
much earlier.
The success of the cable to far has been
oonpltU. Tbe electricians have been able
to transmit messages at the rate of eleven
word* per minute with moderately light
bwtt«de*,Md that is mere than expected. It
is true that the cable may not last for a
.very Jong time. The abrasion at tbe bot
tom of the ocean may wear it out, and it
will probably become necessary to renew
it every year; but there will doubtless be
other iioerlaid across tbe Atlantic iu addi
tion to the old cable, which ie about to be
raised and reconstructed. We may expect
to find cablelaying henceforth a regular

There can be no doubt that the telegraph,
ic communication with Europe will rev*
oiutiooize tbe newspaper business on both
continents. It will tend to produce a epo
dansation of style ip newspaper articles.
Already we obsevo, since tb* telegraph ha*
been eeublished throughout Europe, a ter
seoee* is the writings of ths English jour
sal* which forms a strong contrast to the
former long-winded M*ie of the magazine
school, which rendered the leading arti
cle* almost unendurable. The telegraph
will bring us beck to tbatsuooinot, simple
and condensed method of expressing our
idea* which prevailed in ancient times.
The early reoords of Greece, Egypt apd
Palestine, out of whiuh anoieut history
was made were nothing were than tele
graphic notioes, from which subsequent
author* wore the web of authentic history.
The Hebrew language was orignally writ
ton without vowel*, like tome systems of
our modern stenography. At a subsequent
period the vowel points were introduced to
facilitate interpretation. It is evident that
the extension of tbe telegraph system wilt
have a very marked effect upon the intel
lectual habit* of the world at large. The
telegraph teaches us that the days of tbe
elaborate ten-column article* and three
volume books hare gone by. Condensa
tion of words to express thought will pre
vail. In abort, we should not be surprised
if by telegraphic agency we returned to
the ancient, simple style of Homer, Mo
ses and the Prophets—a consummation
for which we shall be exceedingly thank
ful.—Arte York World.

Walts* Socrr’a Advice to iiih Son
Chamjcu.— U l cannot too much impress
upon your mind that labor is the condi
tion-which Ged baa imposed on u* in eve
ry station in life. There is nothing worth
having that can be bad without it, from
the bread which the peasant wins with
the sweat of his brow, to the sports by
which tbe rich man must get rid of his
ennui. Tbe only difference betwixt them
is, that the poor man labors to get a din
ner to his appetite; the rich man to get
an appetite to his dinner. At for knowl
edge, it can no more be planted in the hu
man mind, without labor, than a field of
wheat can be produced without the pre
vious use of the plough.
“There ia, indeed, this great difference,
that chance or quroumstanocs may so
cause it that another shall reap whst the
farmer sows; but no man can be deprived,
whether by accident or misfortune, of the
fruits of bis own studies, and tbe liberal
and extended acquisitions of knowledge
which be makes, all lor bis own use. La
bor, my dear boy, therefore, and improve
the time. In youth owr steps are light and
our minds are ductile, and kuoweldge is
easily laid up. But, if we neglect our
Spring our Summers will be useless and
contemptible, our,harvest will be chaff, and
the Whiter of old age unrespected aud
desolate.”
Again : “Raad, my dear Charles, read;
and read that which is useful. Man differs
from birds aud beasts only because he has.
the means of availing himself of the
knowledge acquired by his predecessors.
Tbe swallow builds tbe same nest which
its father and molhtr built; and the spar
row does not improve by the experience of
iU parents. The son of the learned pig,
it it bad one, would be a mere brute, only
fit to make bacon of. It is not so with
the human race. Our ancestors lodged iu
vaves and wigwams, where we construct
palaces for tbe rich and comfortable dwell
ings for tbe poor; and why ia this bnt be
cause our eye It enabled to look back upon
the past, to improve upon our ancestor’s
improvements, and to avoid their errors f
This cau only be done by rtudyrng histo

A NEW CURE TOR CHOLERA.
A correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Com
mercial, writing from London, seder date
of duly ttb, thus speak* of anew remedy
for cholera:
Great-interest is just now felt in the
•uccesafiii cure of cholera by Dr. Rubini,
of Naples Camphor, as a care for chol
era, has long been used by both schools of
medicine, and Dr. Rubini’s innovation con
sists in the mode of preparing the remedy.
The essential facU of tbe case I will now
state as they have been reported here by
an English gentleman:
Dr. Rubini’a preparation consists of
equal part*, by weight, of camphor and
spirits, and to tbs power tbns obtained be
attributes i>i* success ia tbe treatment of
the disease. And bare I may say that the
quantity of camphor which water will take
up ia email. To obtain, therefore, tbe
“aaturated spirits of camphor of Uubiui" it
is necessary to distill spiiiU of w ioe, and
get rid of so much of iu water a* will
bring it (o 60 degrees overproof, in which
condition it will dissolve and hold in solu
tion it* own weight in camphor.
With tliis “saturated spirits of camphor,”
Dr. Rubini, an eminent Neapolitan physi
cian, has treated in Naples 592 oases ol
Asiatic cholera without tbe lost of a single
patient. Os these 592 cases, 200 were
cured in the Royal almshouse, 11 in the
Royal poorhonse, 166 in the third Swiss
regiment of Wolf. That the 377 cases
treated by Dr. Rubini in these public insti
tutions were all genuine cases of Asiatic
dicier*, and some “terribly severe," snd
that all recovered, (he evidence of the fol
lowing distinguished individuals, with their
official seals attached, sufficiently attests:
11. Generate Govtrna'.ore Iticci; 11.
Maggiore Commandante Nicola Forni; 11.
Cspitano Commandants Carlo Sodero;
General# Commandante Fileppo Rneci
Colonel Eduordo Wolff. The method o
cure is at follows,:
“When a man u seixsd with the chole
ra, ha should at once, ‘says Rubini, ‘lie
down, be well wrtpped up in blankets, and
take every five minutes four drops of the
saturated tincture of camphor. In very
severe cases the dose ought to be increased to
from fire to tweoty drops every fire minutes.
In the ease of a man of advance age strut
toroed to take wiua and spirits, where the
drug given iu drops has no effect, give a
small coffee-spoonful every five minutes,
and in a very short time the coveted reac
tion will occur. Ordinarily, in two, three
or four hours, abundant perspiration will
come out, and then cure follow.” “The
preventive method," write* Dr. Rubini, “is
this: let lho>e who are in good health,
while living iu accordance with their usual
habits, take every day five drops of the
saturated spirits of camphor upon a small
lump of sugar (water roust never be used
as a medium, or the ehamphor will become
solid and its curative propertics ( cease,) and
repeat the dose three or four times a day.
Spies*, aromatic herbs, cofi'ee, tea and spir
ituous liquors should bo avoided.”
