TELEGRAPHING IN NENGLAND.-Hitherto
the cost of telegraphing has been so high
in England as to make the use Of this
most important discovery monopoly in
in the hands of the wealthy. Now, mat
ters have changed, and the expense is so
far reduced, as to put to shame the charges
exacted by companies in this country
An association has been registered in
England, called the Universal Electric
Telegraph Company, with a capital OF
81 100000, and the list of Directors
published in the London Economist, en-
braces the names of many of the leading
mercantile houses in Great Britain. The
object ofthe company is to afford through
oufthe United Kingdom, greatly increased
telegraphic communication at very re-
duced rate. They have about $50
stations; an uniform rate of 6 pence
(about 10 cents) per message not ex-
ceeding twenty words, to ANY of the sta
tions. For each additional word beyond
the twenty, one half-penny is to be
charged. For this reasonable tariff, the
company promises messages shall be sent
with the most perfect accuracy. The IN
struments used by the company are
recent patent of Mr.. j. w. Wilkins.

FORGET ME-NoT.-The Forget-me-not
that beautiful little flower of memory,
with its blue, like the tint of the summer
heaven, and its golden eye, bright as the
eye of Hope herself, is consecrated not
alone to the "reminiscences of love, but
also to those Of home and friendship Tie
field forget-me. not, or Myosotis Grrensis,
is often assumed as the token flower; but
the true one is the water forget-me-not.
Myosotis palustras, whose flower is rather
larger, and more intensely blue than that
of its sister of the fields. The legendary
origin of its name proves the claim of
the aquatic species to be the real blossom
OF remembrance. A German knig ghs and
his lady-love were walking on the banks
of the Danube, when the fair one saw
beautiful tuft of the Myosotis palusfris
growing in the water, and expressed
wish to have it. The knight, with due
chivalrous alacrity, plunged at once into
the river, in all his array, and gathered
his prize but before he could again climb
up the steep and slippery bank, he was
drawn by treacheruus eddy into deep
pool, and encumbered as he was, finding
he could not save himself, Just as he
sank he threw the flowers ashore to his
mistress, and uttered with his last breath;
