How M,., Ia VIII IL Cost:

How M,., Ia VIII 1t Cost:
The question is often asked, How much will it
cost to visit Mt. Washington? The fare is low
enough. but will not the hotels ego through" our
pocket book? These are pertinent questions, and
according to the arrangements Of the cycursio ion'
the sale of tickets, whica commences the 18th
can be easily answered.
First, it will cost $50 from Augusta to Fab
yan's four miles beyond the Crawford Notch, and
return. To excursion ticket holders, the stage
proprictors will charge SO to the White Mountain
r. r., and return. The railroad will take those
holding tickets to the Tip-Top and return, for ~,
making $50 80 to the top of Mt. Washington and
return. The Crawford and Fabyan will charge
SO per day-the regular rates being $3.50. The
Tip-Top House will charge SO for suppe: lodging
and breakfast
One can foot up the probable expense easily if he
can make up his mind how long he can stay. Many
will only go to the Crawford or Fabyan's, this
being through the "Notch," and giving them the
grandest and most extensive mountain scenery in
this country. Only two days need be spent for
this, giving several hours beyond the mountain,

The forehead WAS low and slightly retreat

like the muzzle Of q monkey, and the
mouth, which was small and oval, with
thick lips, protuded about an inch beyond
the nose; he had short, handy legs, COM
paratively long body, and arms that ex-
tended almost to his knees. The hands

A Freak OF tho Telegraph.

Of all the freaks of the Telegraph, the
following is the most laughablc which
has come under our personal knowledge.
Not long since graduate in one of our
Eastern theological schools was called to
the pastoral charge of church in the ex-
treme southwest. When about to start for
new parish he was Unexpectedly de-
tanned by the incapability of his presby-
terry to ordain him. In order to explain
his non-arrival at the appointed time, he
sent the following telegram to the deacons
of the church "Presbytery lacked a
quorum to ordain" In the course Of its
journey the message got strangely meta
morphoscd, and reached the astonished
deacons in this shape: "Presbytery tack
ed worm on to Adam!" The sober
church officers were greatly discomposed
and mystifed, but after grave consultation
concluded it was the minister's facetious
way Of announcing that he got married,
and accordingly proceeded to provide
lodgings for two instead OF one.

While Capt. Harper was taking the cen

lady on whom he called, asked permission
to look at his book. The Captain who is

'Now, look here, you can't fool me that

An American Yarn,

An Englishman-trayeled, of course
relates that an American gentleman who
had at an early day gone the overland
route to California told him this: "We
crossed the sand hills near the scene Of the
Indian mail robbery and massacre Of 1856,
wherein the driver and conductor perished
and also all the passengers but one. But
this must have been a mistake, for at diff:
ferent times afterward, on the Pacific coast,
I was personally acquainted with a hun
drcd and thirty three or four people who
were wounded during that massacre, and
barely escaped with their lives. There
was no doubt Of the truth of i'll had it
from their own lips. And one Of the par
