DRIVEN TO DESPERATI0N.-Ihe Bos-
ton Voice says a Benedict, who has taken
wife recently, was driven to the extreme
measure by the treatment he received in
boarding house, where he was sick.
He said he ordered the servants to bring
him some cruel on Monday morning, but
which he never got till Wednesday
afternoon. During his confnemet not
single soul visited him, save the young
gentleman who cleaned the knives. He
came not for the purpose of consolation,
but to inform him that "Missus would be
much obliged if Mr.-would do his
shaking on chair, SO as not to get the
bedstead apart" This was the feather
that broke the back of his bachelorship.
From that moment he resolved 10 connect
bis fortunes with piece ofdimity.
WRITIEG IN CYPHERs AND IN SHORT
HAND. = Those abbreviated modes of
writing are not modern invention. The
ancients had ingenious cyphers for their
secret dispatches, and sent private orders
to their commanders or ambassadors,
which could not be opened, so as to be
legible, without peculiar continuance or
the key. Caesars usual method was to
write by agreement the fourth letter of
the alphabet for the first for example D
for A, and so on, varying the arrange
ment occasionally. The Romans had al
so short hand writers, chosen number
of whom were employed by Cicero to
take speech of Cato. Martial and An
tonius bear testimony to the surprising
skill of some of them.
nay Freight is now delivered from
Omaho to Cottonwood for one and a-half
cent pound. The Western transporta-
ton Company are agreeing to deliver
goods from that point to Denver, in five
days and for five cents per pound.
A young lady is charged with having
said that ifa cart wheel has nine felloes,
it's pity if pretty girl like her can't
have one.
