CHARLEY WEIR.
An Operator Whose Powers Ast0nlshed
4 Telegraph Once.

at was at the close of the war, 1854,
writes correspondent, that party Of
us, consisting of thirteen tramp operators
resolved to take in the different cities,
and whoever could not get work was to
be boarded by the rest. Well, we had in
our party Charley Weir, now superin-
tendent of the Adams express company
at Cincinnati, Ohio, considered to be the
most perfect operator in the business,
owing to his great memory. He could
store fifty words. in his memory. and
write it out at his leisure word for word.
Well, we arrived in Buffalo, and not a
man had the price of beer. Our only
salvation was in striking some friendly
operators. Charley made motion that
he should lead the attack and the bal
ance hold up the rear. 1t appears that
the Buffalo Office had a great reputation
for catching all the operators applying
for work by putting them down to taking
newspaper reports, which is very fast
work. And Charley, pulling his hat over
his eyes and stumbling over chair with
an Intoxicated smile, says. "Hic, I want
a job" The manager, winking to one of
the chiefs as signal for him to inform
New York sending reports to slide it in,
turns and says:
"Well, can you copy report"
81 reckon can-hic," says Charley,
and the manager ushered him over to the
report table. Charley took the chair and
closing the key, he informed New York
operator to proceed. The manager got
all the men in the Office to come and
witness the sport. He then found Char
ley looking for a pencil and New York
sending at lightning speed. The boys
all began to laugh, and; reaching over,
stopped New York sending, whereupon
Charley again closed the key and told
him where he left of, and. snatching
stub of pencil from one of the operators
he flew across the sheet with lightning
speed, and in less than two minutes had
caught up on his copy, although sixty
words had been sent. Well, you just
ought to have seen those fellows look at
him. New York man increased his
speed until he was tired out, and then
stopped to ask if Charley was getting on
at all. Charley asked him if he couldn't
send faster. The manager says:
'Say, old fellow, who are you, any
way?'
"Why, my name is Charley Weir.
They had, of course, all heard of Char
lev, and 4 more ashamed crowd you
never saw. They acknowledged the joke
and the manager says:
"Mr. Weir, just wait few moments
and we will go and take something"
"Oh, thanks" said Charley, "but have
a friend or two outside"
"Ask them in, to he sure," says the
manager.
Walking to the door, Charley gave
whistle, and4n walked twelve American
travellers.
We were given as fine supper as ever
Queen Victoria relished, at the Terrapin,
corner Terrace and Main streets, and q
better time never had.

not to shoot without it became Necessary.

He appeared before the British Assocla-
ton of Scientists, at London, at which
Sir John Herschel was present, an inter-
ested auditor. He crossed the Channel
to Paris, and the Academy of Science
appointed . committee, composed of the
illustrious Arago, with who were joined
Messrs. Pouillet and Babinet, ITO report
upon th&observations and theory of Mr..
Espy, which have for, their object the
serial meteos, known by the names Of
storms, water-spouts and tornadoes,
which occur in the vicinity Of the Gulf of
Mexico; storms. however, which are pro-
duced in every part of the globe, when a
few given conditions concur in one place"
HIS RETURN 10 THIS COUNTRY.
The length OF the Arago report indi-
Gates the strong hold which Espy's start
Ing and conclusive array of facts had
made upon the minds of the members Of
the Academy, and also evinces the care
with which the committee studied the
subject from it's scientific standpoint.
The effect of the report, when it reached
Washington, was not much different
from that which followed, afterwards,
the announcement Of Morse's first trans
mitted message over the wire from Wash
ington to Baltimore.
In due time Professor Espy returned
to the capital of his own country, and
one Of the first public men he encount-
cred was Senator Preston. They met on
Pennsylvania Avenue. Towards the
conclusion of their report, M. Arago's
committee had expressed the hope that
the Government Of the United States
would place Mr.. Espy in a position to
e,ntinue his important investigations
and complete his remarkable theory by
means of all the observations and all the
experiments which even the deductions
Of his theory may suggest in a vast
country, the home, as 1t were, of the
erial meteors, storms, water-spouts and
tornadoes. Senator Preston was prompt
to apologize for the mistake he had made
when his language drove Espy from the
Senate gallery, and he was as rrofuse in
his promise to help the storm-king
onward in the spint Of the French report.
It is q matter of history that he did So;
that Espy got his $4,000, and that to
him We owe the first step In the forma-
ton of the present Signal Service.

THE BAD BOY.
From PecE's Sun.

"Hello," said the grocery man to the
bad boy, as he came in looking sick at
heart, and all broke up, "How is your
muscle this morning."
"All right enough" said the boy, with
look of inquiry, as though wondering
what was coming next. "Why?"
80, nothing, only l was going to grind
the hatchet, and some knives and things,
this morning, and thought maybe you
would like to go out in the shed and turn
the grind=stone for me, to develop your
muscles. Turning grind-stone is the
healthiest thing boy can do"
"That Is all right enough" said the bad
boy, as he took up sweet cracker, "but
please take good look at me: Do look
like grind-stone boy? Do resemble
good little boy that can't say 'noh and
goes off and turns grindstone half aday
for some old dufer, who pays him by
givin him handful of green currents, or
telling him he will be man some day,
and the boy goes off one way, with d
lame back, while the good man goes the
other way, with a sharp scythe, and
chuckle at the softness of the boy? You
are mistaken in me. have passed the
grindstone period, and you will have to
pick up another sardine who has never
done circular work. Not any grindstone
for Hennery, if yop please"
"You are getting too smart" said the
grocery man, as he charged pound Of
sweet crackers to the boy's father. "You
don't have to turn the grindstone If you
don't want to-"
"That's what thought" said the boy,
as he takes a handful Of blueberries
"You grindstone sharps, who are always
laying for fool boy to give taffy to, and
get him to break his back, don't play it
fine enough. You bear on too hard on
the grindstone. l have seen the time
when man could get me to turn . grind
stone for him till the COWS come home,
by making me believe it was fun, and by
telling me he never saw boy that SEEM
ed to throw so much soul into turning q
grindstone as did, but have found that
such men are hypocrites. They inveigle
boy into their nest, like the spider does
the fly, and at first they don't bear on
hard, but just let the blade Of the Ak OF
the scythe touch the grindstone, and
they make boy believe he is a bigger
man than old Grant. They bet him he
will get tired, and he bets that he can
turn grindstone as long as anybody, and
when the boy has got his reputation q
stake, then they begin to bear on hard
and the boy gets tired, but he holds out
and when the tools are grodnd he sayi
he is as fresh as daisy, when he is tired
enough to die. Such men do more Il
teach boys the hollowness Of the world
and it's trick features, than anything, ant
they teach bows to know who are friend
and who are foes. No, sir, the best way
i. to hire grown person to turn you
grindstone. l remember turned I
grindstone four hours for farmer once
and when got through he said l couit
go t, the spring and drink all the waite
wanted for nothing. He was the tight
est man ever saw. Why, tight Tha
man was tight enough to hold kerosene

people. The audience was a Miltonic
one, eft though few" for hardly q score
of persons were present. Among them
were William Cullen Bryant and, rs
Espy afterwards found, his lifelong
friend, adviser, pupil and lover, Captain
Samuel Erseys. Espy went through his
lecture; then submitted to running fire
of questions, and, these answered, frank
" confessed his disappointment. Clinton
Hall had cost him $l8. There wasa hotel
bill to be paid, and he had but S. in the
world with which to pay this vast and
impossible sum. He had In stock five
sets of lectures, price, IS aset. That was
all.
There was a pause of q moment or TWO
after which Captain Eseyis promptly
subscribed $25 for the course, put the
money into Espy's hands, and was inn
mediately followed by Bryant and nearly
all of those present, until his pockets
were filled and Epsy himself was as over
come as q child. Before New York
would let go off him, he delivered nine
courses of lectures; went thence to Bos-
ton, where he gave'six, and then made
the tour of the Union and $25,OOO be-

Hawthorne once said that caresses OF
expressions of some kind are as neces-
sary to the life of the affections as leaves
are to the life of q tree. No one would
think OF disputing this, and yet how few
really tender words are said by members
of the family to each other! There is
many q woman who has never since her
courtship heard word of love from her
husband, until, probably, on her dying
bed some expression Of his love for nef
h.s been wrung from him. Men who
are capable of better things must oe
oreatly moved before they express in
words half they feel.
