A RelI-CHltIVated Ear.

One of the most remarkable illus
tratiOns of the power which tele-
graphic operator acquires to distin-
guish individuals by their touch upon
the instrument, has just been afforded
by Mr.. Hampstead, one Of the opera
tors in the Western Union Telegraph
Company's office in this city. About
a fortnight ago, Mike w. Sherman,
formerly an expert and well-KnOwn
telegraph operator here, escaped from
the Middleton Insane Asylum, where
he has been confined, and though
thorough search was made for him, he
successfully eiuded the people who
were on his track until Monday night.
While Hampstead was at work in the
office bere that night he suddenly
recognized, among the clatter Of a
score of messages passing over the
wire, a sound which he at once de-
clared was the touch of the missing
Mike. It proved to be a message from
Wallingford, and an investigation
showed that Mr.. Hampstead was quite
right in ascribing it to the insane man,
who was found there yesterday, he
having dropped into the Office in the
former place Monday night, and TAX

Pyramid OF CheOps.

A man who has lately visited the
grand pyramid of CheOps, wading in
the sand fourteen hundred feet before
he had passed one Of its sides, and be-
tween five and six thousand feet be-
fore he had made its circuit, gives a
trite illustration Of its vast bulk. He
says, that taking one hundred city
churches Of the ordinary width, and
arranging them in q hollow square,
twenty-five on one side, you would
have scarcely the basement Of the
pyramid. Take another hundred, and
throw the material in the hollow
square, and it would not be full; pile
on all the bricks and mortar in the
city of New York, and the structure
would not be so high and solid as this
great work Of man. One layer Of
bricks was long since removed 10 Cal
70 for building purposes, and enough
remains to supply the demands Of a
city of half q million Of people for a
century to come, ifpermitted to use it
with perfect freedom. CheOps was
built two thousand one hundred and
twenty-three years before the Chris
tian era

The railway ticket agents are both
ering their brains over the question
whether passengers may ''lay over"
and resume their journey at pleasure,
or whether, when they have once
quilted the cars, they have forfeited
their tickets for the remainder of their
journey. The courts have already de-
cided that a man who buys q ticket,
as It were between Boston and New
York, has the undOubted right to stop
at any place on the road and to re-
sumo his journey at his leisure, with
out buying another ticket. The le-
gend, "GOOd for this day only" has
no value in the eyes Of any save rail-
road officials, and the law has decided
that any action taken by conductors
with q view to enforcing the implied
contract is illegal. There the matter
should be allowed TO rest. The pub
lie are satisfied so 70 leave il, and the
railway companies ought not 70 com
plain. ff a man buys a ticket TO BOs-
ton, and the company receives the
money for il, there Is no reason why
they should refuse to carry him hith-
er, or why they should wish 70 force
him To do it to suit their convenience
instead Of his own.

The Chicago Times, (Dem.) puts
forth these vigorous comments upon
the situation of the Democracy:
There is Just one, and only one, way
in which it might be possible TO re-
pair the mischief which the truck and
dieker class Of Eleaders1 have brought
upon the Democracy. That way is to
drop Horace Greeley and all his sore
head household as bad eggs, and con-
eentrste the Democratic army, as
Napoleon concentrated his army after
defeat at MarengO, under a Demo-
cratic general. Napoleon, by the
rapid denominations Of transeendent
genius, snatched victory from the
very jaws of defeat. So might a like
effort of Democratic genius do now.
But unfortunately, there are no Dem
Oeratie NapOleOns in command; at all
events there are none in Ohio. The
address of these. Ohio generals is the
whine of whipped towards and pol
tTOOns, who Fepel a powerful Demo-
cratic reserve, and cling in the help

ruin of the campaign. "The Liberals

From the Richmond, ky Register.I
GgeeF story Concerning Goldsmith
Maid.

Report has it that Mr.. Malcolm
Gil, ct GarTard county, whl immedi-
ately institute legal proceedings in the
New York courts for the possession Of
the celebrated trOttIng mare, Gold
smith Maid. Gill claims that she is
his mare Jeet, which was supposed to
have been burned in the NiehOlasville
fire some seven years ago. It is now
said that the mare was stolen and the
livery stable in which she was placed
was fired in OESler to cover the theft.
The fire, it will be recOllected, occur
red at night, during the week of the
fair, when a large number Of fine
horses were in NIchOlasville for exhi-
bitiOn. The account given of the fire
at the time represented several thOus-
and dollars worth OF valuable stock
having been destroyedy and MENTION
ell particularly CLIPS fine mare. The
account also stated how much affect
ed-even to tears-Gill was, and how
his trainer kissed the shoes Of his sup
posed lost favOrite animal.
Its said that GilPs trainer happen
ed to be st one of the great trOtling
races between Goldsmith Maid and
Lucy, and st once recognized the
Maid as the mare which was thought to
have been destroyed at the Nicholas
vile fire. Upon closer examination
be became thoroughly convinced that
she was the same mare. He thereup-
on communicated with Gill, told him
that Goldsmith was his lost pet, and
thathe OughttO take steps fer her reeov-
cry. After some hesitation Gill deter
mined to look into the matter, and
for that purpose went TO New York
and saw Goldsmith Maid, and, we an
deTstand, recognized her as his form-
er property, and determined to take
steps for her recovery. 1t is also ssid
that in addition to her marked resem-
blanee to the animal supposed to have
been burned, in form, color, size, ac-
ton, disposition, &c, she is the exact
age GilPs mare should be, and has the
same pedigree.
IL is a remarkable case, and, i'll
prosecuted to the end, will doubtless
prove a very tedious one.
