IS. The buspfess Of telegraphing is in its
infancy. il must rapidly increase in the i'm
mediate future and yield still greater re-
turns. The business of the Southern States
having been suspended during the war will

are projected and in process Of construction
to Europe, Asia, and South America, which,
when completed, win nj once materially add
TO the telegraph business Of the country
The proposed routes of our range are an
nually becoming more and more populous.
Cheaper rates and more rapid, certain and

the telegraph and insure its substitution for
