THE TELEGRAPH AND THE BOURSE.

The Pun Charireri has the fanning :—:lt matt
be minded that the private telegraph has singular absences
of mind, and we regret that electrieity should have broken
the arms of the tern' telegraph. The old telegraph did not
always act perfectly well ; it took advantage of the slightest
fog to Tone itself; but as it was • public functionary, it
preserved its dignity, and . permitted itself such pieces
of pleasantry as the electric telegraph, each spark of which
Dm causes commotion on the bourse, and what commotion!
Two days ago • private despatch arrived from Vienna an-
nouneine the order given by the Sultan to Omer Pasha to
adjourn hostilities to the lst November ; but the wicked little
thing-1 mesa the electric telegraph—forgot to make known
to us a fact which is nut without importance, for the fonow-
ter was the termination of the despatch from Constantinople:
" In case hostilities shall have commeaced, this order must
be considered as of no effect." This little omission pro-
duced a rise of two francs ; but to-morrow all will tumble
down agiin. Such, electricity, are thy sets on the Bourse!
The electric commotion' of the Champs Elysie had at least
the advantage of only coating two sous, and at that price
were certainly not ruinous. That armistice referred to in
the despatch will not take place, and it will be even dif-
ficult for a suspension of hostilities ever to arrive, so long
ate the Russians shall continue to follow the same sys-
tem. The Czar pretends that he has given orden to his
troops to act simply on the defensive, and Prince Gone-
be
koff dues not cease to attack the Turks—for it will
very difficult for the Russian general to prove
that it was the fortress of Isatcha which went to
attack his fleet. After the colossal mystification of
which the gulls of the Bourse were on Saturday the victims
we know not what the private telegraph will next invent,
but we arc sure that it will be something tremendous.
Every electric movement now produces the effect of a clap
of thunder. Iris! !It is peace! " What," try the
gulls, .• peace, true peace ! Let us instantly change our
system, and haves rise !" But no sooner have the gulls
done se than they find themselves worse in their new paid-
tion. Fric fric! A new spark—but this time it is war
that is announced. " What ! we were deceived then ! Let
us return to our former plan—let us speculate for a fall—a
fall!" The day after peace again; then the day after,
war—and so on until the extioction of the electric fluid, or
the credulity of the gulls—two things which threaten to
last for ever. It is much to be desired that a new Franklin
would invent a new lightning rod to save the Parisians
from the dangers of eastern electricity.
