A DEAF AND DUMB TELEGRAPH OPERATOR
WRITING BY THE SENSE OF ToUoH.-When
the magnetic telegraph was first introduced,
there was an arrangement by which the
letters and words communicated were reeled
off by means of punctures in long narrow
strips of white paper, after this fashion,
namely, =. -. =, etc. These were
translated by the receiving operator, and
thus rendered into readable English. In the
course Of time this attachment to the Morse
instrument was dispensed with, and the
operators, instead, read the message by
sound, or the clicking of the instrument,
with the proper intervals for clear under
standing of the language, so that there could
be just as much certainty as there is in
speaking, compared to aOr5tten or printed
communications. The operators ear was
rendered more and more acute, and he there
fore could hear the faintest vibrations, or
the whisperings of the instrument. But
one would scarcely think that the arrange
ment would suit deaf and dumb man. 1t
does not, but the deaf and dumb man can
suit himself to even these circumstances.
The fact is demonstrated. There is gem
tleman in the American Telegraph Com
pany's office, in this city, who, though he
cannot speak nor hear, is classed as first
class operator, dealing with sounds. He
can send and receive dispatches intelli-
gently, and finds no difficulty. But how is
this done? By the sense of feeling He
places his leg against that of the instrument
table, and in other ways reads by the slight
Earring, while watching the operation of the
instrument itself Wash. Chronicle.

THE question of smoking in theatres has
led to a species of compromise at ''Grand
Theatre" Amsterdam. AS many of the Wis
itors, particularly the ladies, object to the
weed, the managers arranged ''non smok-
ing night, and it was on the whole, so sue
cessful that the managers resolved to make
another trial. IF satisfied with the result,
he is determined to have two nights in the
week set apart to those who donot patroni2e
c'naster or habanas. In some parts Of Italy,
tin boxes are placed just inside the theatre
entrances for the reception of remnants of
cigars which are smoked during the acts,
when the visitors sally out to the adjacent
cafes for a few minutes. The cigar ends
thus preserved are afterwards cut up finely,
mixed with other tobacco, and distributed
among the aged and other poorin theasylums

Curing a NfAbger.

Some people have 9 very ugly way Of lay
ing violent hands on small articles that don't
belong to them, which cost others money,
and which they don't think of paying for.
Now it is very well known that groceries pay
about the smallest profit of any other mer-
chandise hence the habit of some folks of
going into store to purchase ten to twenty
five cents worth of groceries-to be sent
home, too-and while they wait for the
goods to be put up, they amuse themselves
by a mouthful of sugar, gormandize an APP
pie or two, or guzzle a bunch Of raisins, figs,
slice of cheese, plug of tobacco, biscuit, or
whatever else lies around temptingly exposed
to view. You may rest assured that people
don't trade and traffic for the fun of the
thing, and if you gouge the grocer he'll be
justified in keeping square with you by send
ing light weight and scant measure. A
facetious old mercantile friend of ours was
thus bled by q customer who used to come
in daily to order something or other in the
grocery line, and who having an amazing
sweet tooth in his head, thought nothing of

EVERY reader of our comic literature win
remember Jonce Hooper and his inimitable
" Georgia Scenes " and adventures of
Simon Suggs." Hooper died year or two
ago. He has lately been followed 10 the
grave by the original of one of his greatest
characters, Simon Suggs. His name was
Bird H. Young. He was resident Of Tai
lapoosa county, Ala, and seventy years CT
age at the time of his death. It is said that
Simon Suggs was a faithful portrait
of him. He was wild, reckless spend
thrift in youth, and confirmed ad-
yentarer in manhood. He had a big gem
erous heart, but few other virtues.

When the first day of the New Year
dawned and the grocer's boy came from his
bed behind the flour barrels to take down

disclosed the three little Migrants lying
stark and stiff, embodied in each others
