a'certain weekly had spoken OF him as
a monument citizen, he drove IL miles,
in n mourning rain and over muddy
road, to get copy of that paper, be-
cause he wanted to see the market re-
ports in il. We have had that little
transaction in mind for some time, and
II suggested TO us a racket which we
have worked with great success. we
select as victim some man, ambitious
of fame, but who never has had the
privilege of gazing upon his name IN
nrint more than two or three times IN
his life. We go to him and say: Did
YOU sec that item in the paper about
YOU the other day. Great skid, wasn't
itP' Immediately his face lights up.
He is all interest. There is an eager
look in his eye. "No," he says, Il didn't
know of it! When was itP What paper
was it in? What did it sayp" And
We reply: "Oh, hold on! One ques-
ton at a time" swell, what paper was
it?n he asks. He is breathlessly eager
for,an answer. We reply, deliberately:
"What paper? Well we don't exactly
remember. Think it was one OF the
city papers, but wouldn't be certain. 1t
may have been suburban papar.
Possibly it was Western exchange
He looks gloomy, but hope springs
eternal in the human breast. You
think it was city paper? he asks Es
Eyes" "How long ago did it APPEAR"
"Don't know exactly. Saw it only two
or three days ago, but it might have
been an old paper" "Well, what did
it say?" he asks in desperation. "Oh,
it was very pleasant little item" Yes,
but what did it say?" ooh, we don't
remember what it said. Just remem-
Der seeing it," "Why didn't you save
it for me?" ."Why, thought. Of course,
you'd see it," "Why, I'll go and look
over the files of the city papers and
see if I can find it," Dear boy" we
say, you'll find it much easier to find
a needle in abundle of hay. Think OF
the interminable task of examining the
files of seven or eight daily papers for
month back" The utter hopelessness
of ever seeing that paragraph dawns up
on him. His face assumes look OF alb
ject misery, despair and batfied curlo-
sity. When we meet him two or three
days later, he is just getting over the
feeling of gloom, and settling down to
solid hatred of us for not saving the
item for him.

Miss Mackay's Big Catch.
Cincinnati Commercial.

There is an endless talk here over
Miss Mackay's extraordinary betrothal.
She is known in New York, but never
created an impression, though very
good natured. The great attractions
were, of course, due to her father, Bon
ANA Mackay, who has kept Paris in a
state of palpitating amazement by his
extravaganza for several years. 1t was
always surmised that Miss Mackay
wanted to catch titled husband, but
the most sanguine never dreamed OF
royal blood, and her capture OF a prince
of the house of Bourbon deserves to
create O sensation. Probably more
arrogant and naughty stock than that
of the Duke D'Aumale does not exist.
They trace their lineage direct for 1000
years, and this is the first time it has
been mixed with commoner's blood.
Miss Mackay takes dowry, it is said,
of $4,OOO,OO0. A thought is bound to
come in here, and 1 fancy that more
than one man exclaims when reading
the news: "Poor girl, poor girl" I
confess 1 pity her in spite of her So
called good fortune. How will the
Spaniards treat her? She is said to be
of rather timid disposition. pity
her. By the by, she is not Bonanza
Mackay's own daughter, as is generally
supposed. Her father was a gold miner
who worked beside Maekay when they
were starving to death at Gold Hill,
New. His name was Johnson, doctor"
johnson, as he was then called, and he
and Mackay were warm friends. John.
son died in 1862, and left widow and
one daughter. Mackay STRUCK it
rich," and married the widow
of his old friend, and the daugh-
ter is the present Miss Mackey. No
one ever knew who Johnson was, but
his wife was then a woman of refine
ment, and gave the impression of gen.
tie breeding. Mackay has always lived
happily with her, and seems to think
as much of her daughter as if she was
of his own blood.

The telegraph and the Telephone.

The usefulness of the telegraph in
conducting. business transactions is so
great that private wires are increasing.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany leases about 100 private wires and
the mutual Union about twenty. The
cost of a private wire from New York
to Philadelphia is $500 year, the
company furnishing nothing but the
wire and the instruments at both ends
of the line. To Boston it is $500 a
year, and to Chicago $1,000 year.
The expense of an operator at each end
adds about $500 year to the total cost.
There is a saving of money to concerns
doing large business, but the chief
advantage is in the saving of time, espe-
cially to stockholders, as minutes on
the Stock Exchange sometimes repre-
sent fortunes. Communication between
New York and Boston has been success
fully established. The sound of the
voice is transmitted so perfectly that
the call-bell is unnecessary, the voice
being distinctly heard forty feet away
from the instrument. II is believed that
conversation between New York and
Chicago will be q matter of hourly oc-
currence within q year, and that event
ually San Fancisco viii be brought into
telephone &C nmunication.
