POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.

The Proposed Measures Have Clear Field
in Both Houses of Congress.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18-It has been ascer-
tanned that the subcommittee Of the House
postof6ce committee which will have charge of
bills relating to postal telegraphy are all in
favor of that subject. A member of the Senate
committee on postofices and post-roads says
that it has been demonstrated that the subject
is popular with that committee, and will receive
favorable report. A majority of the House
committee are from the West and South, So that
there is now practically clear road for postal
telegraphy. Two bills are before the House
committee. Senator Edmunds has announced
that his bill will go through the Senate. With
these facts in view, there is no reason why the
government should not be operating telegraphic
communication for the people within the next
eighteen months, unless it would take longer
that the time this would give them to establish
the lines. Most of the bills that have been in
troduced heretofore anticipated two years within
which to perfect system of postal telegraphy.

approached the Egyptian question he became
taciturn. asked him if he thought it was a
mistake'f for the British government to have in
sisted on the evacuation of Khartoum, and the
Soudan. How can you ask such question as

a mistake-the bombardment of Alexandria was
mistake, the landing of the troops was mis-
take, and the occupation is mistake He would
not touch further on the subject"

Famous for His Long Memory, His Penman-
ship apd His Ability to Milk Cows.

Boston, Jan. l8-After the session Of Satur-

beautiful penmanship. Judging from appear

these particular abilities. He is a farmer, and

and the members number nearly $50, he knows
every one by name and the city and town which
each represents. He is just as familiar with the
names of the men who represent the smallest
cape or hill towns as he is with those from the
cities.
His penmanship is fine and would do credit to
D professor of art. The most remarkable feature
OF his skill in the use of the pen is the fact that
he can write with equal facility in the natural
way, and also by writing the words upside down.
Taking given name he can write it beginning
with the last letter OF the name and continuing
to the first. and writing each letter upside down.
When writing in this peculiar manner he pre-
serves the same graceful fourishes that he uses
when writing in the ordinary way. He takes
some pardonable pride in showing book con-
tanning q perfect list Of the members of the

without reference to any other list. Not only
are the names written, but every town and city
residence is correctly recorded. Every word
was written backward from right to left and
bottom side up, and beginning always with the
last letter Of each word. The title page is a
beautiful specimen of artistic penmanship in
colors, and was written in the same manner as
the rest of the book.
