4 Waraine 10 Cotton brokers.

a gentleman in Montgomery, Alabans,
is responsible for the following, VIII ich will
be appreciated by those who handle our
hbrous staple
1t may not be generally known, but 10
understand the following scene the reader
must know, that the principal telegraphic
correspondence in the commercial world is
carried on in cypher; and the better to pre-
vent mistakes, the plainest, and, in some
cases, the sweetest sounding words in our
language are used for tsais purpose. few
days ago dispatch of this sort was receiv-
ed at the office of one of our large cotton
brokers, after business hours, and sent up
home, which it reached before him, and
was duly conned over by his wife, Now,
we don't wish 10 cast any insinuaticns On
female curiosity butto woman a ,ele-
gram is certainly an object of interest. Not
themselves receiving them every day on
almost trivial subjects as we do, they have
all idea il is always life or death case.
Thus thought our cotton brokers' young
wife: "He has just relarned from New
York something is the matter" The en-
velope was torn off and her eye glances
over it. Oh Oh Oh Oh scream after
scream, until she fain,s. In rushes her
mother: "What on earth is the matter,
Charlotte ?' "Oh! OH Oh % The old
lady sees the dispatch and attempts TO take
it. But no with that mystery in womans
nature, which makes her more lovely in
grief, she erasps the fatal writing, and
hides from all, even her mother, her cause
of sorrow. Painting at after fiji follow, aud
smelling salts and vinegar are in requisi-
tion. About this stage of the preceding,
in walks Monsieur the Broker, his poor lit
tie wife without werd of reproach, hand
ed him the despatch, which was as follows:
"Your darling-sick-Sain Nicholas
send ,O00-irue elove-only-Mary.
"New York, September, 60"
On reading which he only laughed, and
with his book of the cypher explained 10
her satisfaction what he meant. The trans
lation of it we have not rcon TO give hero,
as each word is an entire sentence. lt's
not being signed, and Mary being the last
word, does look a little cnminal to young
wife whose husband has just returned from
New York. We have no doubt his dis
patches hereafter will remain inviolable.
The explanation might have satisfied
Charlotte, but for ourselves, we are a little
dubious. It's, 10 say the least CT it, rather
a singular kind of cypher.

it took every cushion on every table in the

of the window, travelled once or twice up
and down Broadway, ran into a shooting
gallery, rang the bell nine times in rapid
succession, and came back to the table,
previously executing two brilliant caroms
on Neil Bryant.
"This concluded the show, as supposed
but as got to the corner of Broadway and
Broome street, caught sight of Neil Bryant
rushing round the corner, closely pursued
by the TWO billiard balls, from which sup
pose Berger must have done another fancy
shot or :wo after left.
