large house) derives its name from an

so large that it ia believed to have been
the abode Of 200, coo or 300 goo people.

The Youngest Operator.

Dublin tIeN.l Enterprise.
We had the pleasure of meeting and
witnessing the experiences Of Miss Brown
the iuisut teleSrspher of the world. She
is only years old, and is certainly one
OF the greatest wonders of her age. Her
father, who will probably RANK as an
average operator, is much inferior as to
ability in distinguishing the sound, and
the rapidity with which she does it.
She has just received second reader,
and, seated one side Of the table on which
were arranged the instruments, the
father seated himself at the key and
wrote from the book one page of read
ing matter at the rate of 80 to IS words
minnie, and the little marvel succeeded
in getting the entire page without a
single break, her father being determined
tn send faster than she could take, but,
with the greatest speed he could send,
failed 10 do so. Her father oonfeeses that
she is much more accurate than he, and
and theIe is no doubt but with proper
care and training she is destined to make
one Of the finest operators in the world
AT present her greatest difficulty il hel
inability to comprehend and arrange to
gether long aud difficult words, aud be
ing mere child and uDsble to write
she has either to have some one to tax,
the message down for her or remember i
in its entirety, which in long message
Is impossible.

three O'Clock in the morning Deputy Sheriff.
Dickey was awakened by the groans and
noise of the distressed animal. He at once
discerned the source OF the noise. and hur-
riedly dressing himself went TO the hoiise OF
the editor and aroused the male members OF
the family who, with Mr.. Dickey, ct once
repaired to the st4hie. where they found
the horse wedged down in his siall, suffering
intensely, with the halter strap draEa
tight around his neck. With the assistance
of Mr.. Solomon Shoemaker, another kind

was gotten on his feet without very serious

Of sir. Dickey, in another hour the horse
which is a Fsluable one, would have been

The term just closed has been to me the
most pleasant of any in which have been
engaged during the five years have been
teaching. Though we as teachers towards
Tie close of school wish more or less for the
last day to arTive, when we will be free for
a time from the cares and responsibilities of
the profession. yet when it does come, owing
to the peculiar and tender relation existing
between a teacher and his pupils, We feel re-
luctant to pronounce the word dismissal,
and almos. wish that time had not brought
US SO rapidly 70 the parting hour.
