Isaiah. tx. @.

A little incident occurred at Nashville
the other day which illustrates the utility
of the telegraph, and the various uses to
which it can be applied. A young lady
visiting the city from a neighboring
village was invited by an operator, who
was sweet on her, TO visit the telegraph
office. A party of young ladies and
gentlemen was made up, and all repaired
to the office, under the guidance of the
gallant operator aforesaid. After ex-
planning the telegraphic apparatus, and
exhibiting the working of the battery, he
proposed, for the amusement of the
party, to take off the next dispatch which
should come over the wires. An oppor-
tunity was soon afforded, and the opera
tor took off telegram sent by lady in
Kentucky to lady in Texas, which,
when complete, consisted simply Of the
words, Isaiah, TX, G" So unique a
telegraphic message created considerable
surprise, but not one of the party was a
sufficiently well-posted Sunday-school
scholar to repeat the verse referred to.
Determined to know what the words of
Isaiah, tx, G" were, our young tele-
graph friend and the lebanon young
lady stopped at Billy Golfers on their
way back, and asked to see p Bible.
With eager hands they turned the leaves
together-but when they found the place,
and glanced at the first paragraph of the
verse, they laid the book quietly down,
and with very red faces softly left the
store. If you want to make that young
lady angry in earnest, ask her what is
the latest news by telegraph.

II ~ "-""o
A man named julius Lazarretto was
instantly killed about eight o'clock this
morning by the bursting of a iiy-wheel'
Eve feet in diameter and one foot VIDE
connected with the machinery OF Lar
k;r's cotton press on Jefferson street
near the bayou. Lazarretto had been
employed in the yard for some time past
I'm, owing 10 q sore hand, was to have
been assigned lighter duty. He was SIT
ting on a bale of cotton, With his back
to the wheel, some fifteen feet distant,
The foreman was talking to him and
giving him directions when the disaster
occurred, and narrowly escaped himself
with a severe bruise. The wheel usually
makes aboct FIVE hundred reyolntionsper
minute, but at the time WAS only making
half that speed, The piece that flew OF,
by mere centrifugal force, would weigh
about one hundred and twenty-five
pounds. 1t broke into two or three
other pieces. the largest of which struck
the unfortunate man broadside in the
back and shoulders, almost With the
velocity of cannon ball, and horribly
mangled bis body. His life was taken as
suddenly as fash Of lightning or the
shutting ont Of candle.
j. Justice Herman held an inquest, Anu
the jury returned a verdict that the own
ers Of the press were culpable for the de-
fectiye condition of the wheel. 1t had
been broken before and patched; one of
the arms connecting with the shaft was
entirely missing. The deceased was a
native of Italy, was about thirty-five
years old, and was good workman
enjoying the confidence of his employers
and the warm friendship Of all his coun-
trymen. 1t is said that be left wife
and two children in his native land, who
had never Joined him here, He will be
buried, we understand, at two o clock to-
morrow afternoon.
