Te!egraphic Tricks

Two yonug men, telegraph operators,
board st one Of our leading third-class ho-
tells, and being Of asomevhat hilarious dis.
position fnd great amusement in carrying
on conversation with each other at table
by ticking on their plates with knife,
fork or spoon. For the information Of
those not familiar with telegraphy it may
be we'll to state that combination Of sounds
or ticks constitute the tclegraphlc alphabet
and persons familiar with these sounds can
converse thereby as intelligibly as with
spoken words. The young lishtniug.stri-
kers, as already stated, we're in the habit
ofiudulgiug in table-talk by this means
whenever they desired to to say anything
private to each a!her. For instance, No.
/ would pick up his knife and tick off some
such remark to No. Q: "Why sthis but
ter like the ofFcnso Of hamlct's uucle?'
No. al give itup."
No. 1.-"Because it's rank aud smells
10 heaven"
Ofcourse the joke is not apprco lated by
the landlord, (who sits close BY because
be doesn't understand telegraphic ticks,
and probably he wouldn't appreciate it
much he did; but the jokers enjoy it i'm
meusely, and laugh immoderately, while
the other guests wonder what can be the
occasion for this merriment. and naturally
conclude the operators must be idiots.
A few days ago, while these fuu lovers
were seated OF breakfast. stout-built
young man entered the diuius-room With
q handsome girl on bis arm, whose Gmid
blushing coutenauce showed her to DO a
bride. The couple had in fact, been mar.
ried but a day or two previus, and had
come from San Francisco from their home
in Oakland or Mud Springs, or some other
rural village, for the purpose of spending
the honeymoon. The telegraphic tickers
commenced as soou as the husband and
wife were seated.
No.. l opened the discourse as follows;
"What lovely little pigeon this is along.

What luscious lips she's got! Ifthat couu-
try pumpkin was out Of the road, I'd give
her hug and kis, just for luck"
No. 2.-"Suppose you try it anyhow.
Give her nudge under tho 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 aud a
dark scowl was on bis brow during the
progress Of the ticking conversation; but
the operators were too much occupied by
zach other to pay any attention to him.

young mems CONSERVATION when the part
