A -elegrsphie Anecdote.

The following is told by Mr.. Rogers.
'' l think the most curious fact that have
ever heard OF the electric telegraph was
told me by the cashier of the Bank of Eng
land. Once upon time then, on
certain Saturday night, the folks at the
bank could not make the balance come out
correct by just e1o0. This very serious
matter in that establishment | do not
mean the cash, but the mistake in arith-
metic, for it requires world OF scrutiny.
An error in balancing has been known,
am told, to keep a delegation of clerks
from each office at work sometimes whole
night A hue and CRY was, of conrse, made
after this e100, as if the old lady in Thread
needle street would be in the papers for
want of it. Luckily ON Sunday morning, a
clerk in the middle of a sermon, dare say,
if the truth were known, felt suspicion or
truth flash through his mind quicker than
any flash of the telegraph itself. He told
the chief cashier that perhaps the mistake
might hare occurred in packing some boxes
of specie for the West Indies, which had
been sent to Southamton for shipment.
The suggested was Immediately acted up
on. Here was race, lightning against
steam! steam with eight and forty hours
the start! Instantly the wires asked,
Whether such vessel had left the harbor?'
Just weighed anchor, was the reply.
Stop herr frantically shouted tho tele-

deck certain boxes marked SO and so; weigh
them carefully They were weighed;
and ons--the delinquent--wasf found heavier
by just one packet Of a hundred sovcreigns
than il ought to be. Let her &c, said

Aside from the entertainment of guests at
the residence of the bride, the expenses Of
the marriage are entirely borne by the
groom, who is understood to be the winner
of the prize. If the parties marrying are
wealthy and of undoubted standing and re-
spectability in society, they can appropri-
ately celebrate the nuptial ceremony in an
expensive manner, and occasion being taken
by the relatives and friends as an opportu-
nifty for the making of every description of
present to the bride and groom. d If, how
ever, the parties move in the humber walks
Of life, an expensive bridal tour and very
great display at the wedding are not advis-
able. 1t is much better for the newly-wed-
couple to commence life in manner SO
plain and modest that succeeding years
cannot fail to increase their wealth and give
them better opportunities. People always
more highly respect those persons who
steadily 60 upward, no matter how slowly,
than those who attempt display beyond
their ability honestly to maintain. To le-
gally marry in the United States, only a
few incidental exenses are really necessary.
OF these, the license costs, in different
States, from 81 to 80, and the magistrate,
for performing the ceremony, is allowed By
law to charge So. While no law regulates
the price, it is customary to quietly present
the clergyman $5 or more, according to the
ability and liberality of the groom. In Civ
ing notice of the marriage to the newspaper
it is courtesy always to enclose with the
same dollar BILL aa ~ $50 gag v}s

They Met by Chance.

The St. Louis Republican relates the fol-
lowing as an actual fact, lately transpiring
in that city a
"Not long ago two ladies stood At the
shawl counter of one of the two leading dry
goods stores in st. Louis. They were un-
known to each other, but were each intent
in the examination Of shawls. One of the
ladies was finally handed something that
struck her fancy. She turned the article
over and over, with admiring eyes upon it,
and asked its price. She was told what it
was, and with sigh laid it down again. 4
like it, she said, 1T suits me perfectly, but
cannot afford it. My husband tells me
we must retrench as much as possible The
sympathetic saleswonaan was about replac-
ing the shawl upon its shelf, when the other
lady spoke sYou do net intend to take the
shawl, then, madam p no. was the re-
sponse. Then think I'll take it. It
suits me, too, and I was only waiting for
your determination. Then, turning to the
saleswoman, the last speaker told her to do
up the purchase, adding, Charge it to Mr..

lady who was unable to buy the shawl vas

the lady, and there was scene upon which

Mrs. Tlori's Leg.

A Missouri court has just had tc pass
upon question of some delicacy-that OF
the value Of . woman's leg. A market
house roof was blown off in storm, and,
in its fall, crushed the lower part of Mrs.
Flori's leg. Amputation below the knee
became necessary to save the woman's life.
She brought suit against the city of st.
Louis for damages, and the jury returned
a verdict for S4,1e6.66s. The determine
tion Of this amount was arrived at by each
jurors putting down a thousand dollars,
and then adding $500 for the doctors bill,
the value of the entire leg being thus
placed at $12.50O. Why it was that the
estimates made by the several .jurymen,
were added together, instead Of being
averaged, is not narrated. But SO it was,
and the Missouri jury having found the
value of the whole leg, proceeded to aBcer-
tain the value Of that which was lost. This
part was decided to be one-third Of the
whole, and hence it was that damages of
81, 1866. 66s were awarded. The city took
the case up TO the Court of Appeals, and
that cours affirmed the decision Of the
Circuit Court. So tits settled what the
value is of the third part Of a woman's

Untold Wealth Disclosed bv Lucky Fail

Perhaps richer specimens, but certainly
no more beautiful ones, have ever been Ia
ken from any mine than are how being OBJ
tanned from recently discovered lode in
Jimtown.. The story runs that for months
the miners, in going to and from their daily
labors, have travelled along certain path,
wearing the earth away to q rock. A. vein
was thus brought to light which presented
no attractions to the prospector, and was
trod upon as OF no account "A laborertwo
weeks ago, swung sledge upon his shout
der, and started early in the morning for
his accustomed toll ON the mountain side
Reaching the vein, he carelessly allowed
the heavy stone breaker to fall upon
projecting point. and thereby detachedsev-
eral pieces OF the vein matter. The white
character Of the rook, ,and its glittsring par
ticles disclosed to him one of the richest
mines in the world. Literally full were
the white specimens with bright particles
OF almost pure gold and, although shaft
has been sunk to the depth of nine FEET, the
rock increases in richness, and at the bot

A Tramp's Love for Labor.

The aversion of the lordly tramp to any
form of manual labor receives fresh proof
almost daily. An ordinary able-bodied
tramp win work harder, suffer greater pri-
vations and expend more brain force IN an
effort to beat somebody out Of nickel, than
would be required of him to earn an honest
living for week, At Logan, Ohio, o few
days since number Of tramps were arrest
ed and placed in the lookup preparatory to
being put to work ON the roads, according
to pleasant custom in vogue among the
miners. The naughty instincts Of the
tramps rebelled at the prospect of shoYel-
ing. It was for them moment of awful
trial. but ingenuity, born of desperation,
triumphed. In their lonely prison cells the
tramps carefully removed what clothing
they had and stuffed 1t in the roaring stove,
and when the cruel task-masters came TO
marshal them forth with pick and shovel,
it needed no arguments to convince them
that the prisoners were in no fit condition
to face the winds Of winter. Our CORES.
