ACALl FOR suDscRprloNs.-wc print

A CALL FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS print
elsewhere a letter written by one Of the
Corporators Of the Wheeling & Tuscara'
was Valley Railway Company, setting
forth the conditions and prospects upon
which that company will organize. Ten
per cent of the capital stock Of the com.
pany must be subscribed before tho com.
pany can elect directors and fully orga.
nize. Upon this subscription, after Feb.
ruary 1st, as VIC understand, the com.
pany may organize immediately. The cor.
poratoH ask the citizens Of Wheeling to
take half of this sum, or 100000, with
tue expectation that tho other 100000
will be raised on tho other side Of the
river. II this 100000 DO now raised We
believe tho enterprise will succeed. The
company can then organize and go to
work; no backward step will be taken,
and in short time enough stock will be
raised to constitute basis on which the
entire capital needed to build the road
WILDE obtained. Our correspondent states,
ind VIC presume the corporators will
satisfy any one on that point, that no sub.
scription now made will be binding, IN.
less tho road is built. This is the
time for all who intend TO subscribe
to this enterprise to come; forward.
II this ten per cent Is raised there
is little doubt of ultimate success; but il
it Is not, Of course the work falls to the
ground.
But there should be no such word as
fail in work SO valuable to the city as
this; and we confidently hope to be able by
February 1st to report that the ten per
cent Of the stock has been taken and the
company is ready to form a complete or.
ganization and push forward thezwork.

Telegraph Ticks at a Hotel Breakfast
Table.

.1uUles
Two young men, telegraph operators
boarding ut one of our leading third class
hotels, find great amusement in CARRYING
on conversation with each other ut the
table by ticking on tlssir plates with knife
fork or spoon. A combination of sounds
or ticks constitute the tClegraphic alpha,
bet, and persons familiar with these
sounds can converse thereby rs intelli
gently rs with spoken words.
A few days ago, while these fun.loving
youths were seated at breakfast, stout.
built young man entered the dining room
with handsome girl on his arm, whose
blushing countenance showed her to be
a bride. The couple had, in fact, been
married but day or two previous, and
had come to San Francisco from their
home in Oakland, or Mud Springs, OF
some other rural village, for the purpose
OF spending the honeymoon. The tele.
graphic tickers commenced as soon as the
husband and vile had seated themselves.
No. opened the discourse as follows
what a lovely little pigeon this is along.
side Of me-ain't she :"
No, 9.-"Perlectly chaFming-looks Us
ifbutter 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, I'd give her hug and kiss
just for luck.".
No, s.-"supposc you try it anyhow.
Give her little nudge under the table
with your knee"
There is no telling to what extent the
imprudcnt rascals might have gone but
for IN amazing and entirely unforeseen
event, The bridcgroom's face had flush.
cd and dark scOwl was on his brow
during the progress Of the ticking con.
versation; but the operators were too
much occupied with each other TO pay
any attention to him. The reader may
form some idea Of the young mems con.
sternation when the partner Of the lady
picked up hiskniIc and licked off the
following terse but vigorous message:
"This lady is my wife, and as soon as
she gets through with her breakfast l
propose to ring both your nccks, you in.
sOlent whelps."

NATIONAL 1LLrTERACY.-We copy to-
daya Washington letter TO the New York
Erening Post summarizing the report of
Commissioner Of Education and exhibit.
ing tables compiled from the yet unpub.
lished report ofthe census of 1870. These
tables show much larger per cent Of
illiteracy in the United States than has
generally been supposed to exist. With
population Of 50, 1926 in the United
States, there are 5,G60,074 persons over
ten years ofage who cannot write-morC
than fourteen per cent. OF these "illiter.
ates" there are: Native, 4,SS2,21O; for.
eign, 777,SO4. This immense difference
in favor of the foreign population is al
first sight the most surprising feature o.
this report. OF the native CELEBRATES,
however, 4,117,5S9 are in the Southern
States, where negroes and their fellow.
victims of the slave system, "poor whites,
swell the number. In the Northern and
the Pacific States, however, the relation
of native to foreign ignoronce is less fiat
tering to America than might be supposed
there being 7G4,Gl1 native and 7O759l
foreign "illitcratcs." This shows much
larger proportion Of ignorant among the
foreign than among the native population
hut the number orO lcllOw.citizcns born
in this country who cannot real and
write is appalling. II VIC compare races
instead of nativity, We find the figures ms
follows: white, 9,S7O,543; other races
2,7S0,53l. Even our race cannot pride
itself very much on the comparison
though here, also, the proportion Of igno.
rance is largely against the black nun
Chinese aud Indians being so few in nun.
Der us hardly to deserve consideration.
Advocates OF Awhile mans government
find little to encourage them in the figures
before us. In the Southern States there
are 1,5lG,3S9 white "ignoramuscs," and
2,67S, G33 OF all other races, mostly ne.
groes, Of course. The per centagc of ig.
norance among the negroes, therefore,
bears a relation 10 that among the whites
OF about three 10 one-not an unlavorable
showing, il we consider the recent condi.
ton ofthe negroes.
Comparing the sexes, We see that out OF
5,G3,6& "illiterates," excluding the Chi
nese and Indians, who are not classified
by sex or age, 2G0S,S47 are males, and
3O&,6S7 are females-425, $40 more girls
and women who cannot write than there
are men and boys. In the Southern
States the difference is less marked; the
preponderance Of ignorant women being
in some measure due to the accumulation
OF girls in northern factories. Of the
whole excess Of 425, $40 in the female sex,
200 ,207 belong to the Northern States, al.
though the number of illiterates in these
States Is less than one.lourth Of the whole
number in the country. In the Pacific
States there is an excess on the other side
oil 44O. The correspondent gives tables,
also, by which equally interesting com.
parsons may be drawn, showing the mum.
Der Of ignorant men, women and children,
according to age. He also calls attention
to a significant but not surprising fact,
that personal violence and illiteracy have
closely corresponding record in various
parts of the country,
