ONE HUNDRED GIRLS rs A TELEGRAPH OFFICE
In England, the business Of operating telegraph
wires has been, to n great extent placed in the
hands of young ladies, who find il very agree
able employment. The inland department of
the Electric Telegraph Company in London now
employs one hundred young ladies, who receive
and transmit the messages from all parts of the
United Kingdom. The room in which they are
engaged is lofty, spacious, and admirably lighted
and ventilated. A number of long tables are
placed across the room, upon which the nstru.
ments are placed, an attendant being seated OPP
posite each one There is one table for Liver
pool, another for Manchester third for Bir-
mingham and Glasgow, and so on for the whole
of the chief towns. When not engaged at the
Instruments the girls employ themselves with
needle. work or reading. The room is in charge
of matron. The compensation ranges from
los. to 25s. ($2 so to 625) per week. Ten
hours constitute a days work. A period of six
weeks is sufficient to learn the whole process of
telegraphing, but longer practice is required to
impart efficiency and rapidity of execution.
There is n kitchen in which the young ladies
cook their dinners, and q servant to wait upon
them, with laboratory and other appliances
for their comfort and convenience. The access
to the room is by staircase exclusively devoted
to the ladies, and no person of the ruder sex is,
upon any account, admitted into their depart
ment, except upon u special order. TO the
honor of the Z" fair SEX" the experiment has
proved to demonstrate that the proverbial inca
pacty of women to keep secret is a great un
truth. OF the thousands Of important and val
uable secrets which must yearly come to the
knowledge of these young ladies, not single
one has ever transpired. Many Of the fair oper-
atives are closely related to individuals distin-
guished in literature, science and art.

EDITORIAL COMPLIMENT. The Nevada Journal
devoles nearly a column to the lecture of Miss
Munson, the spiritual trans medium, delivered in
Nevada two weeks ago. The editor declares that
the address was couched iu fine language and
replete with science and argument. or this ma
ture seem to be all the criticisms Of the press
on Miss Munson's performances. If Miss Munson
is humbug, she is very talented one, and
whoever is humbugged by her, is humbugged by
a pretty woman.

VINO KNOWS "A correspondent of the San
Francisco Christian AdUocote takes for his text
David danced" "But," says the writer, " do
you imagine that it was anything like modern
scbotischc, or a libidinous waltz ?" Why not,
pray? The record proves that some of those
patriarchs of the olden time were of a rolicking
probable that they waltzed At all events, we
believe that could David pay visit to earth
now adays he might totally repudate the dance
that David used to dance, and take to the Ibid
inOus waltz.

SoFTENING THE AsPERITEs or HAYMAKTNG.-
Since his death. it may be supposed that Rufus
Choate, the great Massachusetts, lawyer, said a
vast variety of witty, wise and wondrous sayings.
When living, Choate was not represented by the
anecdote makers but when dead he became one
of the most eminent examples of remarkable
felicity of speech. 1t is said that in arguing a
divorce case he remarked that certain of the
parties were not probably guilty Of criminal
transaction. "They were playful, gentlemen of
the jury-after the morning toll, they sat down
upon the hay NOW for refreshmcnt, not for crime.
There may have been little youthful fondlng
playful, not amorous They only wished to
soften the asperites of hay-making !"

JESSE WEILs.-George Graham, Esq, of this
place, has received letter from his sister in
Virginia, which makes men ton of our defaulting
Treasurer, jesse Wells The letter was written
by one who is well acquainted with Jesse, and
lives neighbor TO his fathers family lie was
within the vicinity of his home for several weeks,
during which time his father died. Although
his aged parent knew that his guilty son was in
the vicinity of the paternal roof he resolved not
to see him, resolution which the pangs of death
did not induce him to renounce. The lady writes
that Jesse had several interviews with his sisters
but that even they kept it secret from their
parents. Truly, the way of the transgressor is
hard deep remorse which has no doubt over
taken this young criminal, ere this, can only be
known to him on this earth, and its pangs cease
only when The suicidal hand or dregs of dissipa-
tion shall have enveloped the recollections Of
the evil genius which led him into the tempta

that the later will follow the former in the

South Carolina will probably vote for Davis
New Jersey stands II for Breckenridge to 3
for Douglas, Counting double delegates, But
terworth, Burde1, Belmont and Clancy will
get seats in the New York delegation.
Mr.. Belmont goes openly for Douglas
Watts Sherman also desires seat aud may
procure vacancy like the others. The con.
vention will decide on platform first.
The Alabama delegation met this evening
and resolved to submit their platform, and un
less theirs is substantially adopted to withdraw
without any other demonstration. The Mis-
sissippi delegation may follow, but even the
ultra States question the policy of that State.
It is now ascertained that Douglas will get only
4 l. votes from Missouri, and two from Mary
| land on the first ballot Probably no others
from the South. The Massachusetts, delegates
met to-day, and will give him six votes.
