The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has devised new tariff which
promises to be of benefit, especially to the
public In order TO relieve the lines of
this company, it is proposed TO offer a pre-
MUM for the sending of night messages.
A comparison of What it costs to send
message in The daytime and what it will
cost to send il at night may be seen by u
glance at the following table:
No. words. Cost by day. Cost by night.

1t is seen that the cost of each additional
100 words by night, after the first 120
words, will he only the usual toll on ten
word message.
The object of this is to relieve the lines
of their enormous pressure of business
during the day time. 1t will undoubtedly
have this result. Under the above tariff,
merchant can afford to telegraph what he
has hitherto written. He can order his
goods to any extent by telegraph, and
thereby avail himself of changes in the
local or general market. The change will
be of universal application and benefit.
