A TELeGRAPHic eLUNoER.

How IL Created Havoc In Uncle sam's
 Poeketbook.
 l have heard of lots of funny tele- graph mistakes, says an eN-telegraPh operator, in the Chicago Journal, but I never laughed so heartily as over one in which a whole milit ary detachment was concerned. I was holding down the Summit office in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and messaye came to mo: Have one hundred gallons of coffee ready for us." Good heavensl we were iE Iuandary. How were we to get one h. edred gallons of coffee in a few hrs? Well, all set to work. Every sin of coffee that was procurdble was obtained and ground up. Every utensil at could hold coffee was pressed into service. Pots, pans, teacups, basins. jugs, were in requisitiOn. The train came along, and I, proud of my prompt ness and ability to execute so large an order, rushed up to the commanding officer and said, cheerily: Il have got your one hundred gallons of coffee all right colonel" "Who ordered one hundred gallOns?" replied the colonel. haughtily. You did" 3To the deuce. I only ordered ten gallons. What in thunder shah I do with one hundred gallons?" II don't care what you do with it. You have got to pay for it. The colonel swore, and so did I. Do you suppose that we have ground up every bean there is in the neighbOr- hood just for the fun of the thing? There is your dispatch-One hundred -al.ons." He paid for one hundred gal 0ns, and presented us with it; but it was a hot discussion while it lasted, but t was nothing to my chagrin. was expecting unlimited praise; instead of that I was called a blOcbhead

c. Homo T~Ik- Again.

SHOOT OFF With righteous indig- nation inform you of the fact that that you have placed me in the ridicu- lous position of attempting to kidnap a ten year old girl. l can overlook the drunken blunders al a tramp printer, especially when he is in the labyrinths of foreign words, but when an editor with ruthless negligence, strips the green leaves of wisdom. tram pes upon the delicate flowers ci path Os and crushes the red checked fruit of humor, and then with the stem whips his jaded horse to death, feel like gently admonishing him to return to his old trade of butchering rotten earcasses and making sausage.
 may be d poor animal bOggeo down in the quicksands of nell, but when the cowboys of heaven release me, the flies of Satan must take X back seat, back in the back alley oi darkness and despair.
 You, or ye if you will have it. for your name is legion, ye who publish an article with every other sheet lost must have been the idle schoolboy who each alternate day came up to re- cite before the man of verbs with the same old excuse that the lesson had been torn out.
 I send you book, at least an al manac, and when l receive your stu pid little sheet of still more stunid city, l find you have returned a folded checker board, resembling a book, with not enough checkers in it Lo crown a king.

 Aber ieider herb,t fur mich. Jdsl pluck now not one Kranschen, Not rosy more for thee; Springtime is it loving Franzchen,
 But dresry Fall for me.

FOND OF WASHING.
A RaceOon That Could Not Resist an Op
 p0rtunity to Take a Bath.

A Raccoon That Could Not Resist an Op-
 portunity to Take a Bath.
 A correspondent sends to the Youths Companion an account of a pet raecoon, of the variety called the wash bear" It belonged to one of the officers of ship in which our correspondent was sailing. and had passion for rubbing something between his paws, as a person would use soap in washing the hands. One of our regular sources of amusement, she writes, was to place a bowl of water, with a piece of soap floating in it, in Mir. 'Coon's neighbor- hood. ard then stand of to await re- suits, which were never very long in coming.
 As soon as the coon perceived the basin he would draw near, peer into it. discover the soap and almost smile with delight. Then, squatting on his hind legs, he would begin to dabblc his fore paws in the water and to rub the soap between them, so supremelv hap py that the sight of him was enough to provoke laughter.
 Finally the suds would rise to the edge of the bowl and seriously incon- venicncc him in his work. A pause all ways cnsued while the coon gave the subject grave consideration. He had had enough experience to know that to proceed further was dangerous.
 At last. desire overcoming prudence, he would scramble upon the basins edge. trying to find a hold with his sharp claws on the smooth surface. Then operations would begin anew. and soon he would be once more lost in beatilic enjoyment. But his bliss never endured very long.
 Suddenly there would come a loss of balance and wild efforts to regain it.: then a splash, followed by a great com motion amid the snapSuds and water. and, finally, the reapPcarance of the coon, white with studs, drenched and blinded, making for the nearest hiding place as soon as he could see his way. After a season of retirement, during which he was evidently cndcavoring to recover his self-respect, he would emerge and carefully steer clear of basins of water with cnticing cakes of soap in them for the rest of the day.
 Let twenty-four hours elapse, how ever. and he would be no more proof against the temptation than before, the performance being an oft-repeated one to the never-failing amusement of the spectators.

MeteOric Iron Stones.

A very magnetic sample of meteoric iron was recently found at Pipe creek, near San Antonio, Tex. It has been examined by A. F., Ledoux, says tn
 Chicago Globe, who finds that it con sists of magnetic portion, co. II per cent. The magnetic portion consisted of iron. s0.94 per cent; nickel, per cent; and the non-magnetic portion contained silica, sulphur, lime, tnagnesia, phos- phOrus and ferric oxide. o. W. Hunt ington has been examining a specimen from North Dakota, which fell in 1885. It consists of 9O.24 per cent. of iron, to- gcther with nickel and traces of phos- phorus and copper. The iron is so mal- leablc that it can be rolled out into thin ribbon in the cold, and it breaks like soft, scmi-solId material The meteor itc weighed 4,0l5 grammes, and from it's pcculi ar shape and appearance ap- pears to be a thick scale blown off from the spherical surface of large body.
