New TELEGRAPH COmpany.

The Mutual Union Telegraph Company,
which is said to have the financial support
|of Vanderbilt and James r. Keene, will
open for business next month, in opposition
Ito the Western Union, against which, the
friends of the Mutual claim, there are loud
by business men of bad service.
Mr.. George William Balou, in an interview
published in the New York Herald, gave
the following plan of operations proposed by
the new company ave shall open business
next month, and shall have lines running to
nearly every leading city in the east, the
middle states, the west and the southwest.
We shall have offices in New York, Chicago,
st. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Milwaukee,
|St. Paul, Minneapolis, Buffalo, Albany,
Rochester, Syracuse, Boston, Portland, Bal
|timore Washington, Philadelphia-in fact
Ito fve-sixths of the large commercial bust
ness centers. Mr.. James Gamble, for ten
years superintendent of the Western Union
for the Pacific states, has been appointed
manager, and the best operators in the
country are being engaged by him. We
shall open to Chicago with no less than six
teen wires-possibly twenty-and add to
these as fast as needed. The Canada Nut
(ual Telegraph Company is building lines to
all the leading cities in Canada, which will
be finished this year, and will be amalgam-
ated with our system. Mr. c. h. Hosmer,
late superintendent of the Old Dominion,
has resigned and taken entire charge of the
Canada Mutual Company. Arrangements
have been made with the Baltimore and
|Ohio for an interchange of business, which

purpose of giving the public vastly supe.
|rior, quicker and better service in every
2way at the same rates to begin with, which,
however, may be reduced from time to time
as fast as the public, by their confidence
land patronage, may enable us to do So
[Our lines will be rapidly extended all
through the winter to every point that can
be made profitable, and the company intend
Ito furnish private wires between principal
points for firms and individuals who may
be willing to rent them ON reasonable terms
The work of construction, even after oui
opening next month, will be pushed forward
= in all directions, and, as fast as the business
warrants it, new wires will be strung up to
Igive the public abundant facilities for all
the business we may be honored with"

Presidents by Accidents,

Only four Vice Presidents have
succeeded to the Chief Magistracy by
the death of the Presidents. The ex-
pcriences of three OF them were not
pleasant.
John Tyler who came in upon the
death Of Gen. Harrison, in 1910. was
the frat. His inaugural address and
policy iu tho beginning gave great
satisfaction to his party, the Wing.
But within six moEths he had quar-
relied with his cabinet, which had
been retained as selected by Harri-
son, and he ended by closing the con-
dence of the Wings, without gaining
that ofthe Democrats" He called al
extra session OF Congress in May; III
September the Wings published q
manifesto declaring that all political
relations between him and them were
at an end.
Willard Fillmore (Whig) became
President upon the death of Taylor
July 9th, 1850. He selected cabine
for himself, and got along well witt
it. But. he soon found the large
plrt of the Northern wing of hi
party arrayed against him OH accom-
ofhis support of the fugitive slap,
law, and ultimately he lost the conf
dence of nearly all the Wing
throughout the. State.
Andrew johnson came in on Apri
IA, 1865. LIE retained Lincoln's cab
met, and as we believe, attempted t
carry out what he thought woul,
have been his predecessors policy
But he soon found himself regularl,
at war with his party; he quarrele'
with his cabinet, three Of the mem
bers resigning in July 1865, and OF
Feb. "a, 1868, he was hnpeached 20

stances.

How Daniel Webster Proposed

In old times II was the fashion for
sutton to go down on his knees TO a
lady when he asked her TO become
his wife, which, with very stout gen.
tlemen, was an'uncomiortable pro-
cceding. The way in which Daniel
Webster proposed to Miss Fletcher
was more modern. being at the same
time neat and poetic. Like many
another lover, he was once holding a
skein of thread or wool which the
lady had been unraveling. "Gracie, .
