Joke being carried too far. II was per
petrated years ago, but only lately came
TO night in the public press. Some time
after the Atlantic cable had been cstab-

sent the following dispatch:
10 the Emperor Napoleon, Garden of the Tuil.
cries. Paris, France ''''
Governor Gilpin will not accede to the
cession of Italy to France. Please let
Bohemia alone.
The operator supposed it would make
some iun IN the Omaha office, and stop
there, as the station agents had gen.

Others ,t Jokes. BY some hook or crook
the dispatch went on. and Owed under
the ocean and came up smiling in the
Garden Of the Tuilerics, In France. The
manner of It's reception by Napoleon has
been lost to history. All that is known
Is the Emperor did not pay for It, and
the iacetious operator was hunted up
ana Obliged to pay bill of $ls7 30 in
goid lot his little joke. That operator
y was entirely satisfied with the result Of
