GENERAL CABLES.

EXTENSION OF TELEPHONES. Melbourne, October 28. The Postmaster-General has decided to separate the telegraphic and telephonic services and place them under different management. This action has been taken owing to the enormous increase in telephonic service, which he considers now demands a separate department. A HUMAN FREAK. Hobart, October 28. A post mortem examination of a man who died at Greenstown hospital from natural causes revealed the fact that all the single organs were in the reverse of the normal order. The heart was on the right side, the liver on the left, and the stomach completely reversed. The large blood-vessels ran down the opposite side to that on which they are always found in other persons. The case is believed to be unique in the history of human anatomy. [Cases such as reported above are by :o means rare, and almost every medical man who has received his training in the Old Country has at some time or other come in contact with such a case. The ease above referred to must have led a healthy life, or his condition should have been known without resort to postmortem examination.]
