The MYSTERIOUS sTELEGRAM.-The London
Court Circular relates the following anecdote
a noble lady, who is young, beauti-
ful and good:
During the army bill debate her noble hus
band who is as proud and fond of her as he
should be, was about to rise and deliver VIC
lent attack upon something or somebody whea
telegram was put into his hands. He read
it, turned pale and quilted the house, called
cab, drove to the Charing cross station and
went to Dover, and was no more heard Of until
the next day, when he returned to his own
home, and to his first inquiry was told that the
countess was in her own rOOm lie fastened
to her, and terrific row ensued, the exact
words of which no one knew but themselves.
At last however, he burst out, -" Then what
did you mean by your telegram p Mean?
What said, of course. What are you talking
about ?" Read it for yourself returned
the unappeased husband. She did read Il
flee with Mr.. - to Dover straight Pray
for me-" For moment she was startled but
then burst into heavy fit of laughter. Most
dreadful telegraph people. No wonder you
are out Of your mind te;egraphed simply,
: | tea with Mrs. -, in Dover street. Stay
for me- His lordship was SO savage at the
laugh he had raised against himself that he
was at first inclined to make a parliamentary
question of it, but, listening to more judicious
advice, restrained.

THE WOMEN WHO WRITE FOR TIE Press
"A New York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times speaks Of the large number of ladies
now connected with the New York press, and
especially with many of the influential weeklieS
which, he says, owe much of their sprightly
character to this fact He enumerates the
well-known stock cattle editor Of the Times,
VINO in her coarse boots and short skirts, plodS
through the mile of the city stock yards, and
the charming little widow of Herald reporter
who takes up her husband pen Just where he
laws it down, and carries out his unfinished
programme wit as much exactitude as if she
had been all her life accustomed to the work.

tered by profane alteration, reverenced to day,
discarded to- morrow; admired but not esteem
ed ruling by passions, not affection; impart,

dividing her tolls by her domestic diligence {;
spreading cheerfuiness around her for his sake;
sharing the decent refinements of the world
without being proud of them; placing all her
joys and happiness in the man she loves AS
q mother we find her the atfectionate, the
ardent nstructress of the children whom she
has tended since their infancy, training them

preparing them to become men and women in

cd a committee to draft resolutions
expressive Of the sense of this meet
ing.
|, The committee reported tho fol-
lowing resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We are now, as hereto
fore, in sympathy with the pros
perity of the city of st. Louis in
every way, and rejoice at the oppor.
tunityof renewing old business and
social relations already too long neg
lected and @
Whereas, In our opinion tho city
of st. Louis is the commercial metro
polls Of tho Mississippi Valley. and
destined for ever to remain the center
o. commercial interest in the great
Northwest therefore, be it
Resolved, By the excursionists Of
Iowa and Minnesota, that we hail
with delight the renewal ofthose old
business and social relations that
were 30 profitable to each in the
past, and that We hereby pledge our
selves to foster and encourage init
mate and permanent business rela-
tions with tho generous and wide
awake business men of st. Louis.
Resolved, That we will use our
best endeavors TO extend throughout
our States the knowledge we have
obtained Of the wonderful ability and
resources OF st. Louis, which, Of
right, makes the trade of the North
west tributary to her.
Resolved, That We tender our most
hearty and sincere thanks to the
North Missouri railroad Company for
literally furnishing the transporta-
ton; to the city Of st. Louis and the
various committees, whose admirable
arrangements tended SO greatly to
tho complete success of the excursion,
and, finally, to the whole souled and
public-spirited citizens of the city at
large, who have thrown open their
homes and hearts, and babe us enter
and enjoy their unbounded and mag
nificent Inequalities"
These resolutions embraced every
thing which could be said of the
exclusion, which was voted, unani-
mously to be a big success.
The principal train arrived on it's
return to Ottumwa this morning, yet
many remained in st. Louis, on
pleasure and business engagements,
for this mornings train.
And finally, Rev. g. w. Shaw, who
originated the affair, and his church
at Bloomfield, are about two thou
sand dollars ahead.
