The later accounts OF the English

using the telegraph for transmitting
social and business messages for short
5istsnce-such as we intrust almost
wholly to the mails or to express mes
sencers-has grown into settled GUS

convenient Of recent innovations. The
time will also come in this country
when the means OF quick commun'ca

brought TO every mans door.
