The other day demure little woman, who
had a room next TO mine, and who was, as
she gave me to understand, Philadelphia
lady, whose husband would be down on
Saturday evening, came rushing up to me
with a telegram in her hand and great
anxiety on her face. The dispatch was dated
Buffalo, and read: "Come at once; George
dangerously ILL" The little woman wanted
to SO to her George, OF course, but she had
only IS in cash and couldn't wait. Would
take her diamonds and lend her 500 If not
fifty, then forty, or thirty five, and she would
send for them within week. Poor little
woman! How sad her position! But you see
there are two sorts of telegraph blanks-one
to send on and one to receive on. This mes
sage had been apparently received on a
sender's blank, and it struck me that there
was a put up job somewhere. She found
some one more kind hearted, however, and
got $50 and skipped away. The other day
the diamonds" were appraised at $3.50

Defending the Dutch Language.

Our aggressive mother tongue, which is
pushing its way into every corner OF the
earth, has aroused the South African repub-
lie by its encruachments, and the Beers are
rallying to the defense of Dutch as the ma
tional language,
When it was announced in the volksraad
the other day that the English language was
spoken in the public offices, in the markets.
and was even creeping into the courts, tia
vice president stood up for the vernacular,
and declared that he would give every drop
of blood in his body TO uphold the Dutch
language. The legislature then authorized
the government to require that only the
Dutch be used by public officials and in the
market places and courts. Two Euglishmsn
who were enjoying lawsuit were the-eupon
informed that II they could not talk Dutch
they must hire an interpreter or get out Of
