VISITING THE CITY.

A country gentleman who has lived near
US 80 long that be might pass for native
of these diggi nge, although he was born near
er you than me, was obliged to visit your city
on business, few weeks ago, in the midst of
the panic. He took quarters at a boarding
house, and bis rustic dress and appearance
exposed him TO the observation and remark
of q smart young lady, very uncertain age,
who cat opposite to him at the dinner table.
Taking him for decidedly verdsnt son OF
the soil, she proceeded to quiz him at her
leisure. The gentleman perceived her DRIFT,
and he humored the joke. In the course Ut
her inquiries she asked
did you ever visit our great city before?"
"Yes ua'am, did, several years SINGER
"Did you come by railroad or steamboat in
those days?"
Neither Of them things was in use when
| came t. town"
you must have come by stage?"
Not exactly that way neither"
"In wheelbarrow, perhapsl'
"No, not that way neither"
"IOu must have come on foot?"
Not exactly, so ma'am."
"Well, how then did you come--do tell u.s."
"WelI, if you must know, was born here,
June "a, 1914, at No. 40 Walker street, near
the Bowery"
The young lady was perfectly satisfied
She dropped the conversation, dropped her
napkin, and finished her dinner another time,
having learned lesson to mind her own bus
mess -Hdrper'S Magazine.

MISCELLANEOUS READING.
"TELEGRAM.'

An attempt was made few years ago to
make this word pass current in the newspa-
pers as a substitute for the constantly recur-
ring phrase telegraph dispatch" The word
seemed 10 strike most writer's as awkward
and fell into disuse, even among those Who
ATTEMPTED the innovation. The convenience,
however, of having some single word TO tx.
press what is transmitted By the telegraph,
as distinguished from the instrument by
which it is sent, has led to al attempt to re-
vive the word and bring it into general use.
The London Times constantly uses it OF late,
and is initiated by its namesake on this side
Of tie water, the New York Times. The
London Inquirer gives an amusing account
Of the controversy which is going on IN
England respecting the legitimacy OF the new
word.
Although the word follows the analogy Of
diagram, anagram, and one or two other
words the greater part Of the words in our
language of the same Greek derivation ter
inmate in graph" Thus We have photo-
graph, mot photogram, which would b. exc.
crable,) paragraph. autograph, etc. But it
seems not improbable that the great convent
ence of the word will overcome all the repug-
nance which is felt to it on the score OF
taste, and that it will come into current use.
The public will at length become recOnciled
to it, as it has to ladies' hoops, which were
so pitilessly rdiculed at first. The best rule
in relation TO new words as also in regard to
new fashions in Dress is that given by Pope
in the Essay on Criticism"
BE not the first by whom the new is tined,
Nor yet the last TO lay the old aside. >
