Telexraphing without Wires.

The Lost Is Found.

In 1860, John C~ressOut, resolved to
remove, with his wife and two children,
a boy and girl, from Ohio to Iowa. At
Chicago he stopped a few days to confer
with some land owners in reference to
the purchase of a farm in Iowa. One
day, while there, his little son Robert
wandered off down to the lake, where
his curiosity led him on board asteamer.
Without noticing his young passenger,
the captain started his steamer on her
journey across the lake. When far out
on the lake the lad became aware of his
situation, but too late. The captain,
thinking him only a %vagabOnd, refused
to return, and in due time landed him
in Grand Haven. The boy and his re-
latiOns lost all trace of each other, and
the parents finally gave up all hspe of
ever finding their SOIL. eo'"
po,,uu q al, anu 1svucrt CressOut finally
wandered Out to Dubuque, where he
became a clerk in a hotel. One day he
took up a copy of the State Register in
which his eye caught the name of John
Cressout. He went to Polk County. and
at Des MOines, in the Recorders office,
found the name Of John CressOut re-
corded in the book of deeds as the owner
of a farm in Washington township. On
Thanksgiving day he repaired to the
Cresseut farm where a pleasant party
of friends and neighbOrs had gathered
to partake of the hOspitalities CT one of
the most substantial and thrifty farmers
of Polk County. He lost no time in
seeking an interview with the host and
hostess, and in making himself known
as their son who was lost in Chicago
seventeen years ago. That was a day
| of Thanksgiving in the farm mansion OF
| John Crescent.

A famous matchmaker of Paris, in
fatuated for a long time with the Chi
mera of perpetual motion, became vio'
lently insane from the overwhelming
terror which the storms of the revolu-
ton excited. The arrangement OF his
reason was marked with a singular trait.
He was persuaded that he had lost his
head on the scaffold, and that it was put
in a heap with those OF many other
victims, but that the judges. by a
rather too late retractiOn of their cruel
decree, had ordered their heads to be
resumed, and to be Joined to their
respective bodies. He. however, got an
idea that, by q curious kind of mistake,
he had one of the heads of his miserable
companions placed upon his shoulders.
He was admitted into the Bicetre mad
house), where he was almost constantly
complaining of his misfortune. and was
lamenting the fine teeth which he had
exchanged for an Indifferent set. In q
little while his old hopes of discovering
| perpetual motion returned, and he was
rather encouraged in his endeavors to
| effect his object When he conceived
that he had accomplished 1t, and was in
an ecstacy of joy. this sudden confusion
of a failure removed his inclination to
even resume the subject. He was still,
however. possessed with the idea that
his head was not his own; but from this
notion he was diverted by the repartee
made to him when he happened to be
defending the possibility of the miracle
of st. Denis, who, it is said. was in the
habit of walking with his head between
his hands, and in that position continu-
ally kissing it.
"What q fool you are to believe such
story he was answered, with a burst Of
laughter, "How could st. Denis kiss hi
head; was it with his heels?"
This unanswerable and unexpected
retOrt COMPOUNDED the mailman so muel
that it prevented him from saying any
