GOULDS CABLB PLAITS. His Scheme to G:ve the Country Cheap Telegraphy New York, Feb. 7. In an in terview with a correspondent to day Jay Gould said: "The ob ject of the telegraph consolidation was to carry ou a long cherished plan of developing in the United States an efficient system of cheap telegraphing on a great scale, both by sea and by land. When 1 was in Europe in 187JJ I was struck by seeing how much more freely the telegraph was used in ordinary private business than in this coun try. This is especially true of Switzerland. Of course the dis tances to be covered are so enor mous, ami the pouiation so sparse, that we cannot for some time to come expect to see the work of covering the whole country with a telegraphic system dime as cheaply here as m a little country like Switzerland, but 1 am ture that under one system, without conflicting interests to took after, and with the expense of only one organization instead of three or four are to be met, such economies! can be introduced iuto AmerieRii telegntpliv that rales to the press ! public e. bo .nuiudly d systematically performed without impHirms; the flioioicy of the service." "Do you think this will be the result of the change?' "Of course 1 do, for it will be tlie policy awi purpose of the w company to elTeot tins. 1 went into it wMh this view, ami 1 cer tainly will use my constant effort and all my utiiucMce to wake the olicy ami the urjose sicccSbful. I am not surprised at the new telegraphic jmijects, nor at the aiolictiurio with which itierchattts 1 and buinOe men lrave looked at te WMIMiitioM. abcmt which so many stone, lutvc Im-cii set afloat. If there had been any truth in these stories, the exchanges would have had very goal reason to sot about organizing ijcw companies, but when sensible people come, to understand General Kckert'a prac tical, comprehensive plans for the future, whioii embraces the estab lishing of direct special wires be tween busiuus exchanges all over the country and.putting them into direct communication with each other and with the great markets of Europe, 1 think they will see matters in a different light. "The new company now has under contract through a new cable company organized at Al bany, two cables between this country and England, which two cables are to be laid early the com ing summer. Cables will also be laid from Cuba, where they will connect with our present system to other West India islands, to bra.il ami other harbors of South America, as well as from San Francisco to China, Japan, Ocean ica and Australia, with a northern line by way of Puget-sound to Alaska and northern Asia, connect ing at Kamschatka with the Rus sian system, so that at no distant day St. Petersburg will be in di rect communication with New York by way of Asia as well as Europe, and England will reach her Australian provinces through New York by our American lines cheaper and more expeditiously than over English wires through "the Red sea and by way of India.'. "Then you contemplate a gener al cable and telegraph system around the world." "Yes, certainly we do; ami we contemplate such a system as an Aim-nca system, of which New York ami Ixmcion shall Im the cen- u'r- " no reason wtty the Unite.! laas sIkmiIU penmt a Motion, which geographically be longs to us, to be taken away from us by England. While the rival telegraph companies in this coun try were fighting onoh other for domestic business, tliey could neither do domestic business on a sound principle nor do anything to compete with Great Britain for the general telegraphic bnsi uess of the world. Now we have changed all this; how completely, you may judge when I tell you that since the consolidation $10, 000,000 have been subscribed to carry our cable connections into eflect."

An immense needle and coarse thread are declared to be indisput able proof of a ciumsy darner. Old fashioned paste buckles kre been revived after a long sleep, but now shine on bonnets instead oV on shoes.

Some of the wraps worn this winter are painted so beautifully by hand that they are even more attractive than tin ball dress they cover. Coat basques of seal let cloth embroidered with gold make fash ionable ladies in Paris look as though they belonged to the Eng lish Grenadier Guards "White vulture feathers are sub stituted for ostrich plumes on even ing bonnets. The vultures are cheaper than the ostriches, and un fortunately look cheaper. Dining rooms in houses recent ly built, have the wainscoting of tiles, which, when artisticallly dec orated, are a very charming addi tion to a handsome room. 'Those who do not know that Mali nes is the French name of the town which English speaking peo ple call Mechlin, announce that 'Malines lace is used to trim mulls. An authority says 4a bed should look like a daisy, and in order to produce that floral appearance recommends quilted borders for pillow shams and coverlets quilted in diamonds. The supply of names for roses is running short, and for a variety f soft pink color recently intro duced, it has beeen necessary to go back to our first male parent--the one that lived in Paradise. The Chicago paper which an nounced that Mrs. Langtrv is a native of the state of Jersey might as well have gone a step farther and shown its patriotism by put ting New before the Jersey.

Harjer's Bazaar does not think it too soon to speak of summer gowns, and foretokens one without any shoulder seams, and with the sleeves cut in one piece with the waist, and having one seam only. A new wrinkle for a bride's out fit is a collapsing clothes basket which has a lattice-work of wood that can be drawn in and our at pleasure. When filled it assumes the size required. When not in use it shrinks into a mere nothing, taking up no room, and is yet any- thing but unsightly. The London Queen for January 1st gives the melancholy news that bustles are becoming alarmingly prevalent, and appear to be assum ing larger proportions. Let us hope that our ladies will reject this deformity. , at ail events, it will not appear in the outrageous ishaposof iS'Jl ami ISG'5.
