want to keep peace in our family, we
will have to veto all these invitations,

we do not want to slight fifteen or

reporter yesterday by a Western Unien man.
Having in mind an experiment in the in
terror of Kansas, when it took a telegram
ten hours to reach, by a roundabout circuit,
a place only a hundred miles distant, a re-
ply was ventured, About two days"
We'll, that's where you are fooled. Day

an hour and ten minutes"

business.
DO such things ot,en happen to cable
Dispatches
well. if there is not p rush Of business,
and ifthe wires are in good working order,
and the man at the other eud replies
promptly, it ought not to take more than
three hours to get a reply from a English
or Scottish town. Two hours and q half is
not uncommon time. but one hour and teu
minutes is. undoubtedly very remarkable
time.
How many transfers are necessary?
This dispatch was sent from Independ-
ence to Kansas City, from here to St. Louis,

there we're about five transfers on the other
