A Telegraphic Incident.

GENERAL ANSON STAGER, vice
VI president and Western manager of
a telegraph company, used to be New
York State printer boy, and about the
time the telegraph got intorunn order
he put his attention to telegraphing and
soon became an expert at the business
About twenty-five years ago he was still
an operator, and the possibilities of the
telegraph were in large measure in
embryo. At this time Pittsburgh was
the generals headquarters. One bitter
cold night he found himself on the cars
on the Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne rail-
road. All of sudden the train came to
a sudden halt. Time passed on still
there was no forward movement. FL
nally, after an hour had gone our ope-
rator made bold toinquire whatthe mat
ter was, and was informed that the To-
comotive had gone back on them and
that they would be compelled to wait at
least four hours for relief.
" How are we to be relieved 2'' inquir-
ed Mr.. Stager.
g The conductor is hoofing 1t to the
next station, nine miles away, " was the
answer.
g Why didn't you call me ~ inquired
our operator.

A NATURAL MISTAKE,

I EFT ME SEE-where was it that /
IL first met herY Oh, yes, it was boat
ing by moonlight. A globe of reddish
pearl slowly ascending out of the east
the shadows of the great bridge resting
softly on the mirror-like surface of the
river; the sound of flute played softly
afar off, and all of sudden the keel Of
my boat coming sharply in contact with
somebody else's oars.
Hal allo, you !" cried out clear, incis-
i've voice. "Where are you going to ?
Why don t you look which way you are
steering?"

needing the torrents of obloquy he was
beginning to heap upon me.
cold Mottimore. he responded, joy
ously. "Who on earth would have
thought of finding you here Come into
my boat. Hitch on your old craft be-
hind Let me introduce you to Miss
Sophy Adriance."
looked as sharply at Miss Sophy as
the moonlight and my own modesty
would let me, for knew that she was
the especial admiration of my friend,
Charley Dresden. / had heard her blue
eyes and peach-blossom cheeks raved
about until even my much enduring
patience had failed L had listened to
rhapsodes about her sweet voice and
pretty ways. had been called upon TO
criticise original poems composed in her
honor, until the subject had long since
palled upon me-and here L had stum-
bled, as 1t were, upon her just as Char
ley was on the threshold of declara-
ton.
She was pretty, slight, round and
graceful, with china blue eyes, dimple
in either cheek, and golden brown hair
worn in long, loose curls, with none
of the fashionable denominations of
crimps, frizzes, and artificial braids about
her. There was something f1owerlike
and delicate In her prettiness-some
thing unconsciously imploring in her
way of lifting her eyes up to your face.
Hardened old bachelor though was, L
felt as If could have fallen in love with
her on the spot if L hadn't known so
well that Charley had the first innings.
We rode home together-or, at least as
far on our way home as the river would
take US. Sophy sang little boat ballads;
Charley roared out tender songs; even
essayed German student song which 1
had learned in Heidelberg nobody
knows how long ago, and we parted the
best of friends.
A week afterward, Dresden and met
face to face in the street.
Halo, Mottimore p said Charley his
honest visage lighting up, ''what do you
think of her ?"
9 think she is a pearl-a jewel-a
princess among women!'' 1 answered,
with perfect sincerity.

ley, beaming all over, " for / am en- gag

head critically on one side; ''and fanci-

"We're to be married in October"
said Charley, lowering his voice in the
most confidential tones. "Itmight have

business in France for our firm. But

She gave me tear-blotted letter, and
then sat down to cry quietly in the cor
ner of the sofa until such time as l
should have finished its perusal. 1t was
fit mirror of Charley Dresden's i'm
petuous nature, full of bitter reproaches
dark innuendoes, hurting back her
troth, and limiting gloomily at suicide
When 1 read it scarcely wondered at
poor Sophy's distress.
What does he mean, Mr.. Motif
more ?' asked Sophy ,plaintively, then
he accuses me of selling myself to the
highest bidder ? Oh, it is so dreadful !"
folded the letter and looked severely
at her. "Miss Adriance," said 1, grave
ly, " it strikes me you are trying to play
a double part here. The affianced bride
of Benjamin Bullion ought hardly to
hope to retain the allegiance of poor
Charles Dresden into the bargain"
~ don't understand you, - said Sophy
looking wistfully at me.
Are you not about to become the
wife of Mr.. Bullion, the banker ?n 1
asked, sternly.
"Oh, dear, no. said Sophy. "That's
mamma ~
Eth ?' gasped 1.
"Its mamma" answered Sophy.
"She is to be married next week Didn't
you know it 2"
stared straight before me. Well,
had got myself into pretty pickle by
meddling of{lciously with affairs that
didn't concern me.
Look here, Miss Adriance," said |,
Il will tell you all about it.''
So did. 1 described old BulIion's let
ter, my own false deductions therefrom,
and the rash deed 1 had committed in
sending the bankers correspondence to
Charley Dresden.
"And now,1' said l, - do you wonder
that he is indignant ?"
Sophy's face grew radiant
But there's no harm DONE" said
she. No real harm, l mean. Because

about mamma and Mr.. Bullion which he
must have received almost the next
mail after he sent off this cruel sheet
of reproaches. And pray, Mr.. Mot
timore, don't look so woe-begone," she
added, kindly Your mistake was quite
natural"
Sophy was true prophet. There was
no real harm done. The next mail
brought letter full of entreaties to be
pardoned, and a brief, brusque note to
me, which told me, not in so many
words, but in spirit, that had q great
deal better have minded my own bust
ness. Which really think had.
stood up with old Ben Bullion and
that full blown rose, Sophy's mamma,
after all, and when Charles Dresden
came home cut the big wedding cake
at his wedding feast Papa Bullion gave
the bride away, and people say that
Sophy was the prettiest bride of the sea-
son. But it came pretty near being a
broken off affair at one time, and all
through my fault. I've since learned
to hold my tongues lesson none the
less valuable for being learned late in
life.

Gold in Wood County. The
Green Bay Advocate is disposed to
poke fun at the REPORTER and TRI-
BUNK tor coutending that gold has been
found in Wood County. Here is what
the idcocotc says:
Grand Rapids wis papers claim
that Yold has been discovered in Wood

that the deposit is bnins proitably

We will only reiterate what ne have
before stated that gold is found in
Western Wood, and that some new de-
yolopement comes to light every day.
Prof Chittenden is a man who is
