What Is the nemi-Monde7

vented by Dumas the younger, and in
the preface to the latest collected Iii
ton of his works the author COM
plains that the term has been miSap-
Piled by the ignorance of the public,
so as to confound the very classes he
meant to distinguish. The demi-
monde he says, does not represent, as
it is supposed and printed, the mob Of
COurtesans, but that class of women
who belong to no class. The demi-
monde is not anybOdy's or every
bOdy's domain. Admission to it is
only gained by certain passports. 1t
is composed OF women, all of honorable
descent, who as young girls, as wives,
or a. mothers, have been with per-
feet right received and cherished
in the best families; and who
have deserted. The names they
bear are simultaneously born in
the true world which has ex-
cluded them. by men, women and
children for whom you and l profess
the most deserved esteem, and to
whom, by tacit agreement, one never
speaks of their wives, daughters or
their mothers. Nevertheless as one
must not be too severe, especially
when one wishes to enjoy life; wo-
men who live matrimOnially with a
man, whose name they bear; pretty
and elegant foreign ladies, recon-
mended and warranted by some one
of their intimate acquaintance, un-
der his personal responsibility; in
short, all those women who have
their roots in regular society, and
whose fall has love for It's excuse, and
love only; nadus Sed pduper. 1t be-
gins where the legal spouse ends, and
ends where the Yenal spouse begins.
A New Printing Telegraph Apparatus.
The New York TszeQrdphey saws:
During the present month a printing
telegraph instrument of novel con-
struction has been introduced upon the
lines of Laws reporting telegraph in
this city for the purpose of simultane-
Ously printing the Stock and Gold EX-
changes in the private business offices
of the patrons Of the line. The lead
ing popularity Of this instrument con-
sists in the arrangement of the type
wheel This feature is of great value
in transmitting numerals, and vastly
facilitates the work Of quoting the
transactions Of the Exchanges.
Another point Of interest in this in
vention is the unison stop" by
which all the instruments in circuit
may be instantly set at a given letter
by the transmitting operator, in case
OF any disarrangement of the wires,
or other accident tending to throw
any instrument out Of correspondence
with the rest. BY a simple and eff
fective arrangement this result is at
tanned without the use ofan additional
wire. These instruments are worked
entirely by the main line current, no
local or maintaining power being en-
ployed. They are handsomely
mounted in glass cases, and from an
ornamental appendage to a business
office.
The inventor was the originator of
the system of simultaneous reporting
in offices, his well-knOwn electric gold
reporting instrument having been put
in successful operation I'm upwards of
forty offices during the month of De
cember, 1867. The system was at
once recognized by business men as
meeting a want which had long been
felt. 1t was extended with great rap
idity, and has become one Of the in
stitutiOns Of Wall street. a. sfnau|
