4 Warning to Cotton Brokers' Wives.

A friend in Montgomery sends us the fol-
lowing, which will be appreciated by those
who handle our fbrous staple.
1t may not be generally known, but TO un
lerstanl the following scene the reader must
know that the principal te!egraphlc cores
pondonce in the commercial world is carried
in cipher, and tie better to prevent mistakes,
the plainest anl in some cases the sweet est
sounding words in our language arc used for
this purpose. A few days ago dispatch Of
this sort was received at the office cf one Of
our large cotton brokers, after business hours,
and sent up home, which it rcschol before
him, AMI was duly real over by his wife.
Now, we don't wish to cast any insnuatlons
on female curiosity but to a woman telegram
is GER ainy an object o. interest. Not them
selves receiving them every day on almost tr-
val subjects as we do they have an idea 1t is
always life or d'ath case. Thus thought
our cotton brokers' young wiie;-'lie has
Just returned from New York; something
is the matter The envelope WAS torn off
and her eyes glances over il. Oh! Oh! Oh
Oh, Oh scream after scream until she faints.
In ru,he, her mother; What on earth is the
matter, CharlDtleE On! Oh! Oh!
The old lady sees Tia" dispatch and attempts
To- take it. Bat no, with that mystery in
woman, nature, which makes her more lovely
in rrief, she grasps the fatal writing, and
hides from all, even her mot or. her cause Of
SORROW Fajntug fit after fantins fit follow E,
aud smelling salts and vinegar are in requisi-
ton. About this stage Of the proceedings in
walk, Monsieur the broker, his poor little wife
without word of reproach handed him the
dispatch, which was as foil VS.;
