thence to nashville tenn and made Shear she Bhe armans mauls campaign through georgia and the carolinas to richmond elch Eich mond having passed over a distance of nearly miles a detailed history of this thia wagon is inscribed on its sides it t is 3 exhibited to show the durability of wagon made of ainer arner american wood and on the american model PROGRESS OF THE ATLANTIC CABLE all goes smoothly with the new atlantic cable it is now coiling at the rate of two miles an hour in the tanks of the great eastern the amethyst hulk is moored alongside the great ship off sheerness e the lusts iris Is laden in her turn at greenwich and will supply the amethysts place as soon as the latter is emptied thus manufacture and stowage go on concurrently and at the moment one part of the great wire is receiving its elementary coating of chat ter tons compound or perhaps spun at birmingham other portions are laid down in the great ship ready for the final paying out the london dally daily mews news says tests both of insulation and continuity are ceaselessly put by the electricians nor are these confined to this years venture the old cable on board is for this purpose connected with the new and messages were transmitted on saturday april 28 through a total distance of one thousand five hundred ardd arid six nautical miles there were four hundred and eighty two of these miles in lh the after tank seven hundred and fifty seven in the main tank and two hundred and sixty seven in the fore tank tafik and to make the test more searching and complete communication has lately been established between all these and the shore an end from each tank is brought into the testing chamber on deck is there joined together so as to make for electrical purposes one cable while another end is passed over tho ships side laid in the mud and oozy bottom of the unsavory sheerness waters in which the great eastern rides and landed on the stony slippery bank h hedging e agin g in the shore the portion thus r running un nin g from ship to I 1 land and has been recently c en aly added for the so sole bole I 1 e pur purpose r ose of proving mr nir willoughby emills smiths im prove ments in testing and to do this it has nas as not even been thought necessary to use the completed cable it is estimated that in the event of a fault arising in the new cable it will be discovered instantly and be localized and the precess of paying out reversed reversed to that of picking up within a very few minutes 0 of its occurrence it would be difficult to speak too highly of the advance in the science of cable laying these facts imply and it is impossible to in inquire aire i into the plans of this years expedition tion without being impressed with the care taken not merely to guard against disaster but to prevent disaster affecting result the whole mach maeh machinery iner y for both paying out and picking u up p ha has s been repeatedly tested the latter is entirely remitted refitted re with two high pressure boilers and will now be of from five to seven and a half times fhe the strength of the breaking weight whereas too the extreme breaking strain in paying out is ten tons th the large wheels employed will bean bear seven times and the smaller one nine times that strain the mishaps of last year were it is useful to remember attributable to the of picking up a cable from the bottom of the atlantic never having been contemplated neither ropes nor gear were provided for such a contingency and those pressed into the service gave way when put to a strain they were never made to bear now proficiency fici ency in picking up at great depths is recognized e ed as a necessity in submarine t telegraphy ele eie gra p h Y and every ry pro vison has been M made le t to ma make sueh such picking up easy and safe on board the great eastern last could 0 only be done from the fore art of the ship this year matters will eart ee e so arranged that the cable may be brought in as well as oaid paid out at the stern and the saving of time anscom is obvious the whole of this machinery ropes wheels and gear has been manufactured aa as before bythe by the telegraph construction and amainte 1 nance company under the immediate superintendence of mr glass its managing director and of mr canning b its engineer in chief chief and the responsible sie ale head of the cable layers machinists and engineers employed in the expedition x passing from the atlantic cable to the tho grand vessel which is to carry it it is gratifying to know that her keel heel and hull have been thoroughly carefully cleaned and that the divers reports show them to be in good sailing order considerable time and ingenuity have been expended on the construction of huge brushes and scrapers to effect this for the immense mass of shellfish weeds and dirt which had accumulated and hardened at the bottom of the great greit ship made her cleansing no easy matter A strong implement something like an a agricultural r 1 cultural harrow has been constructed te gd and by aid of this and other brushes constantly applied so much impedimenta has been beefs removed that an addi tion of two knots an hour to her speed is counted on thisie this it la Is hoped will give a power of nine knots when ful fui fully laden higher than is needed for cable cabe laying and calculated to ensure the full speed necessary even against a headwind and an adverse sea the directors of the telegraph construction st company have chartered the medway a ship of 1823 tons to accod pany the great eastern on ker her her voyage out the medway will carry some hun huni 1 deeds of miles of the cable of last year and in the event of the expedition tion lion being successful will this into the then empty tanks of the great eastern at newfoundland the medway will then start to locate the spot where the broken end lies to fix buoys or it may be to commence the picking up THE MASSACRE OF ST bartholomew it was nearly midnight of the of august 1570 1572 bt st Bartholo mews day when the duke of guise on horseback surrounded by a number of the italian guard with with certain followers of his own gathered in a

residence of admiral bolig ni the duke sent a portion of his force into in to the house under the leadership of a german named behme they came into the presence of the wounded admiral who met them with calm dignity and demanded dema i eded the meaning of this intrusion tru slon sion for an instant the murderers murder rs hesitated but for an instant only the brutal german crying out I 1 this is our errand plunged a long iong boar hoar spear into the stomach of of the doomed man and the others at the same moment struck him down with their swords the duke of guise sitting cooly on his horse in the street cried out to his men to throw the body out of the window they obeyed and the bloody corpse came tumbling to the ground grund the duke got off his horse and wiping the gore from the face of the murdered man with his handkerchief said sald yes it is he be and then spurning ahe the lifeless lifeless form with his foot foo t re mounted and rode away with his fo followers 1 to commence the greater wo work rk of blood before them catharine de medici and her cowardly son were waiting at their palace of the louvre the signal which as previously arranged aur arr anred aneed should announce to their iti enin ening cuing g ear ears s the death of coligny Col igni and the commencement of the terrible work of death the tolling of the great bell of st germain out on the still night air came the booming of the bell high in its stone and at the signal there poured forth into the streets the horde vorde of fanatic murderers who executed the will of the demon woman vroman the houses of the huguenots Huguen french protestants were broken into and their screaming inmates dragged forth into the streets and ruthless ruthlessly butchered Others were hewn lyt down in their heir night garments as they ran out of their chambers and their bodies were flung from the windows to the pavement below women and children were chopped to pieces in their beds and the white sheets crimsoned crim with gore the flaring torches in the streets lighted up a scene seene of pandemonium miles on miles in extent the pavements all over the city were slippery with blood corpses lay in heaps all about with gashed necks dripping sanguinary tears both sexes and all ages piled plied in indiscriminate slaughter the voice of weeping and arid wailing walling of shrieks of anguish auguish and groans of despair of wrangling tiger like struggles and shouts of five vivo I 1 vivo vive dicu bleu ct ie to roi soi and all in one horrid babel rose up to the we shuddering skies shies where the stars looked down in mocking serenity flying frantically hither and thither the defenseless Huguen huguenots sought in vain for shelter they were drag dragged ged from hiding pl places aces with yells of exultation and pierced ie reed with gleaming daggers AS all ali the vilest elements of parisian life the dregs of and crime rose othe to the surface of that raging ragin sea and reveled in murder robbery ani and rapine not only were the staunch adherents of protestantism destroyed but others themselves catholics but not active participants in the massacre the coward who had quarreled with another seized this hour of bloody indulgence dul gence in which to murder his aniag onist with impunity the thirst for blood at last pervaded all classes women murdered women their rivals in beauty children murdered children members of families fell upon each cothery othery and sought in the license of the moment to encompass private ends and execute private vengeance the father fell foll before the knife of his son the sis bis ter was cut down by her own brother horror never supped cupped her dreadful fill more completely than during this raging of the demon long pent up in the bosom of catharine de medici now let loose in all its indescribable fury the massacre lasted throughout several cr aldays days it was not confined to paris but extended into all the principal cities of the kingdom meaux orleans lyons troyes bourges ro Rouen Toulouse louse bordeaux wherever catharines Catharine will swill could reach and the executors be found in some quarters the huguenots Huguen were in a majority in some the local authorities S spurned arned the royal mandate and would woul not imbrue their hands in innocent blood in one case the catholic bishop of lisieux openly gave his hia protection to the huguenots Huguen throughout his diocese and no fact is better established in history than that great numbers of catholics abhorred the hideous deed and not only that but struggled earnestly to save all they could from massacre certain it is that the catholics of today to day thrill with an indignation as sincere as that which stirs in protestant breasts in contemplating this massacre catholic historians also claim that no priest of their church united in these bloody orgies whether this thi may be true or not every candid student of history must freel freely admit that political motives were at ze the base of the crime and religion was used but as a pretext by the infamous chief instigator of the massacre catharine de medici she cared no more for the catholic religion than for any other with her all religion was a fiction the inevitable result of all assassinations followed this one failure to accomplish com the result anticipated the huguenots Huguen multiplied rapidly in numbers and in power the french court reaped only a harvest est of infamy other nations expressed their sympathies with the huguenots Huguen and their abhorrence of the french catholics the french ambassador received open and marked insult from the queen of england who turned her back upon him when he was ushered into her presence persecution of the huguenots Huguen grew less severe from that hour forward and in 1593 the edict of nantes was put forth securing to the huguenots Huguen their liberties thenceforward by solemn pledges TAKE tare oarb CARE GIRLS A little girl named died very
