When the first electric telegraph was established the speed of trans mission was from four to five words minute, with the iive-needle in- struments. Iu lS49, the average rate for newspaper messenges was seventeen words minute. The present pace of the electric telegraph between London and Dublin, where the Wheatstone instrument is em- ployed, is four hundred and sixty three words; and thus what was re- garded as miraculous sixty years ago has multiplied hundred fold in half century. .r,,

Like A Romance.

The general manager of the Bates vile X Brinkley Railroad, Judge William J. Thompson of Little Rock, Ark, is in the city on business con nected with his line. A reporter correlled him in the Laclede rotunda last night, and in response to quest tions on the political situation down there, he gave up" as follows:
 All opposition to the reel ection of Mr.. Berry to the United States Senate has died ont, and he will. without doubt, be his own successor. There was talk of Gov. Hughes, but he never stood any chance at all from the start against Berry's popu- larity, which has made him success lively Representative. Judge, Gov ernor and Senator. Berry's history reads like romance. He was born in Mississippi, l think, and at the age of sixteen enlisted in the Con- fedcrate army, an ignorant country boy, with neither education nor for tune nor polish. He left a leg at Shiloh and after the war. settled at Ozark, Franklin county. where he went to school, working night and [ C, he moved to Carroll County, becom- ing school teacher, and when he had saved money enough to furnish house, and, writing Co Ozark, invited one of the loveliest and most accom- plishcd beles in the place to come and share it. She was willing. but her parents would not listen to such a thing, Berry then, for the first time, showed that indomitable pluck that has since overcome all obstacles. He closed his school, crossed the mountains and by the aid of friend and ladder stole his lady love from a second window. They were mar ried and shortly after the youn. pedagogue was elected to the legisla- ture, but the old man whose daugh- ter he had won after the the style nt middle-age chiyalry could not for give him. For years, however, Berry wife and children were annual visitors at the Ozark homestead, be- cause he insisted on it, thongh the doors were closed to himself. He came out of the State Legislature lawyer, and q good one, too. When his constituents elevated hna tG slis' circuit jndgeship. his fIti.cr-iA-IA" often referred to him ua My son-in- law, Judge Berry," but never spoke to him. In 1885 the great North west brought Berry out for Cover nor, and he was nominated by ac- clamation and elected by 10000 majority. It. must have been proud and happy day for the Judge when his wife (ialher wrote to him: My daughter was better judge of men than |; forgive me, and during your administration whenever yoG want slip aV'ay Dom the capitol so enjoy a-bgict reslie from the cares of State. | do not invite but beg you to make my country house your home" Mir. Berry is now near the close of his first term in the United States Senate, having been elected four years ago to fill the uneXpired term of senator Garland, and, the Attorney-General accepted, is head and shoulders above any man in Arkansas, bothia point of intellect and popularity"

! Only one more match. The train is coming. The roar grows more awfully distinct, and, to the nervous and excited boy, it is appalling Only one more match. He prays in his heart that the awful catastrophe may be ayer'ed.
 And now thought strikes him. He has boys paper in his pocket ' the first one he has ever seen, and he's s taking it over to show it to his friend, Frank Markley He jerks It out of his pocket, strikes his last match, bat very careful this time Oh. joy, it burns. He hastily ap- plies it to his paper, and then, laying it OH the track, places some of the finest twigs upon it.
 They start into blaze now, and although they do not burn rapidly, they make sufficient fire to attract the engineers attention. With his heart almost bursting with excite ment, John hears the sharp whistle of down brakes" ane then. step ping aside, he sees the train stop only a few rods from his little fire.
 What does this mean?" inquired the engineer, as he came down from his cab.
 "Go forward, and you will sec, said the boy. "A crazy man is pill ing logs on the track just around the curve, and l thought the train would be dashed over the precipice.
 The train men went forward, and found that John spoke the truth. Many of the passengers were now out of the train, and when it was known what John had done, he WAS overwhelmed with thanks. But the gratefulness of the passengers went further than this. A subscription was immediately taken up for Johns benefit, and three thousand dollars were contributed. This was done while the logs were being removed from the road. In addition to this. the company owning the road after ward gave him two thousand dollars for his faithfulness.
 John modestly remons trated against the subscription by the pass engers. He said he did not expect pay.
 We know it., replied the SD okes- man Of the party, but you must take it. You have saved our lives, and what are few paltry dollars compared with the lives of the men, women and children aboard of this train! You are noble boy, and you will always have our sincere thanks for what you have done, and our warmest wishes for your future happiness and prosper ity."
 John soon found new home. In a year or two he went to an academy and afterwards to college, where he graduated with honors. He Is now a prominent merchant in the city of p.
