TELEGRAPHIC TICKy-.AMUSINC
EPISODE.

Two young men, telegraph operators,
board at one of our leading third class
hotels, and being of somewhat hilarious
disposition, 6Ld great amusement in carry
ing on conversation with each other at the
table by ticking on their plates with knife,
fork or spoon. For the information of
those not acquainted with telegraphy, it
may be we'll to state that combination Of
sounds or ticks constitute the telegraphic
alphabet, and persons familiar with these
sounds can converse thereby as intelligibly
as with spoken words
The young lightning strikers, as already
stated. were in the habit of indulging in
table talk by this means, whenever they
desired to say anything private to each
other.
For instance.-No. l would take up his
knife and tick off some such remark as this
to No 2:
"Why is this butter like the offense Of
IIamlet's uncle ?"
No. 2.-"I give it up"
No. 1.-"Because it's rank aud smells
to Heaven"
Of course the joke is not arpreciat ed by
the landlord, who sits close by, because he
doesn't understand telegraphic ticks, and
probably he wouldn't appreciate it much
if he did but the jokers enjoy it immense
y and laugh immoderately, while the other
guests wonder what can be the occasion
for their merriment, and naturally con-
clude the operators must be idiots.
A few days ago, while these fun loving
youths were seated at reabfast, stout.
built young man entered the dining room
with handsome girl on hi, arm, whose
blushing countenance showed her to be a
bride. The couple had. in fact, been mar
rie but day or two previous, and had
come to an Francisco, from their home in
Mud Springs, or some other rural village,
for the purpose of spending their honey.

ced as the husband and wife had seated
thmselves.

"What lovely little pigeon this is along.
side of ne-ain't she ?"
No. 2.-Perfectly charming-Iooks as If
butter wouldn't melt in her mouth Just
married, [guess; don't you think SOP"
No. 1.-.::Yes, should judge she was.
What luscious lips SHE'S got If that
country pumpkin beside her was out of the
road, Id give her hug and, kiss now just
for luck"
No. 2-"Suppose you try it now, any
how. Give her little nudge under the
table with your knee"
There is no telling to what extent the
impudent rascals might have gone but for
an amazing and entirely unforeseen event.
The bridegroom's face had flushed and q
dark scowl was on his brew during the pro.
gress Of this conversation but the opera.
tors were to much occupied with each
other to pay any attention to him. The
reader may form some idea of the young
mems CONSERVATION when the partner of
the lady picked up his knife and ticked
off the following terse but vigorous
message:
"This lady is my wife, and as soon as
she gets through with her breakfast, I
propose to wiring 10th your necks-you
insolent whelps."

tINcINNATI, MAY 6, 1872.
My DEAR SIR: Nothing connected
with the recent disgraccful Convention at
this place has given me so much pain as
your note calling my attention to state
ment taken from speech of mine pointed
with the Interpretation you evidently put
upon it. Allow me, in the first place, to
say that was put forward as temporary
Chairman of that Convention without an
hours notice, and that, consequently, what
| said was totally unprecedented; and in
the next place, that the extract you make
and which if, lad intended to be taken
in its literal sense, wonld be justly mat
ter of regret that it had been uttered, does
not represent the truth Of my sentiments.
On the contrary, l have no reason to be-
| leve and never have believed that person.
ally the present Administration were guilty
of corrupt conduct or motives, and l ought
TO have expressed myself so as to have
avoided any such charge.
What was striving to say had reference
to the general corruption of our public
political lle, pervading it 10 every depart
ment, whereby personal and party ends
seemed to be substituted for the public
good and the latest and best illustration of
which, am free to say, is now to be found
in the action Of the very Convention in the
presence of which this declaration was
made l am greatly chagrined at the
whole matter, my own participation in it
inc uded. and have concluded. perhaps not
sufficiently soon, that as politician and
President maker / am not q success.
greatly reere. that have given causes Of
ofenses to you and many other personal
friends, whose integrity may have seemed
to have questioned, but which. can
assure you, was the farthest from my
thoughts. hope you will be able TO
regard it as though it bad never been said.
Very respectfully. your friend.
