0F think the most curious fact taken al together, that 1 ever heard of the electric tele graph, was told me by cashier of the Bank of England. You may have heard of it. It may have been in print I am sure it deserves to be. "Once upon time," then, on certain Saturday night, the folks at the bank could not make the balance come right by just f10O- This IS a serious matter in that little establish ment. do not mean the cash, but the mistake in arithmetic; for it occasions world of scru. tiny. An error in balancing has been known. r am told, to keep delegation of clerks from each office at work sometimes through the whole night. A hue and cry was of coursa made after this f10O, as if the old lady in Threadneedle street would be in the Gazette for want of it. Luckily, on the Sunday morn ing, clerk Gin the middle of sermon I dare say. if the truth were known) felt suspicon of the truth dart through his mind quick ker than any flash of the telegraph itself He told the chief cashier on Monday morning that perhaps the mistake might have occurred in packing some boxes ofspecie for the West Indies, which mad been sent to Southampton for shipment The suggestion was immediately acted upon. Here was race-lightning against steam! and steam with eight and forty hours start given. Instantly the wires asked, "Whether such vessel had left the harbor?' "Just weighing ahchor," was the answer. "Stop her' franti- cally shouted the electric telegraph. It was done. "Have on deck certain boxes marked so and so; weigh them carefully" They were weighed; and one-the delinquent--was found heavier by just one packet of hundred sover- eigns than it ought to be- "Let her go," said the mysterious telegraph. The West Indian folks were debted with just f1OO more, and the error was corrected without ever looking into the boxes or delaying the voyage by an hour. Now that is what may be called "doing business"
