A Queer Cable Message.

Governor Gilpin, of Colorado, had to
pay STAY for one of the first cable mes
sages that went over the ocean.
Gilpin was a good-natured fellow,
and the probability is that he came into
the telegraph Office at Denver and wrote
out the cable, never thinking it would be
sent. 1t was sent, however, and he had
to pay the bill.
The first Atlantic cable was completed
in 1858, and 1t was alleged that a dis
patch was received by President Bu-
chanan from Queen Victoria over it.
This dispatch, however, was about all
that ever came over it. There was
skepticism throughout the United States
as to whether the dispatch ever got
through, and it was eight years after
this before any cable business was done.
The successful cable was the new line
completed on August 3, 1858. At this
time no one seemed to think the cable
would work. The Western Union had
sent a corps of operators and explorers
to Alaska to build line across Behring
Straits to Russia, and when it was an
nounced that the new cable was done
and that any one wishing to send dis
patches to Europe for $40 a word
could do so, the whole world laughed
and the telegrapkoperators looked upon
it as a gigantic joke.
1t was at this time that dispatch
was received from Denver, Col, signed
by the Governor of the Territory, to be
forwarded to New York, and addressed
to Paris. The dispatch had to be sent
fT a New York to Newfoundland by
steamer, and was there cabled. The dis
patch read:
"DENvER, Col, Aug 4, 1s56.-To Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor, Tuileries,
Paris, France. Please leave Bohem mia alone
No interference will be tolerated by this
Territory. JOHN GILPIN, Governor"
The message was looked upon as an
expensive joke of Mr.. Gilpin's and for.
warded to New York. The result was
that it was sent to Newfoundland anG
telegraphed, and Napoleon Ill no doubt
received it.
The price of the cable was S147 il
gold. 1t seems that Governor Gilpir
came into the office, and, on being TOLD
there that the cable was completed
dashed off this message and handed i
over, never supposing that it would bC
sent. The probability is that when hc
found it was sent he paid the BILL

Nonchalance of Famous General.

At the taking of Moscow, Russia,
while the troops sat in their saddles
under murderous fire, Murat received a
dispatch to which an answer was re-
quired. Though his mettlesome horse
was trembling, Murat laid the reins upon
the horn of the saddle, took his note
book in one hand aud a pencil in the
other, and began to write response.
Suddenly a shell fell and exploded on
the ground close by. The horse leaped
into the air and swung wildly around.
Murat simply transferred the pencil to
the hand that held the note book, calmed
the horse with the other hand, and then
went on writing his uIspatch as if moth
ing had happened.
A shout of admiration went up along
the line. Murat saw that the enthusiasm
aroused by his trihing act had created a
favorable moment for a charge. He
gave the order, and his men swept clear
through the enemy's line.-AtlaRta Gen.

How to Wear Shoes.

"Do you know there isn't one man in
500 who knows how to wear shoesl" re-
marked Clark street shoe dealer the
other day. "The average man buys a
pair of shoes, wears them until they are
no longer presentable, and then throws
them away and buys another pair. A. man
ought to have at least two pairs of shoes
for everyday wear, and no pair should be
worn two days in succession. At first
thought this may strike you as a scheme
to benefit the shoe dealer, but it is moth
ing of the kind. In fact, such plan
would injure the shoe business. Two
pairs of shoes worn alternately will last
three times as long as single pair. The
saving, of course, is made in the wearing
Of the leather. A pair of shoes worn
every day goes TO pieces more than twice
as fast as pair worn every second day.
know that proposition is staggerer,
but it is true, nevertheless. A man does
not wear out two pair of shoes in exactly
the same manner. Do you remember how
an old pair feel when you first put them
on again after they have been discarded
for awhilel They didn't fit you like
your new shoes, and the contrast is very
marked. But the same thing holds true
in the case of new shoes. No two pair
fit your feet in exactly the same way. In
one pair the strain and wear of the
leather fall heaviest upon one particular
part of the shoe, and in another the
greatest wear and tear fall upon another
part altogether. - Chicago Mail

Long Buried Wood.

To find partly decomposed wood or
even that in a good state of preservation
one or several hundred feet below the
present surface Of the land is such a
common occurrence that it is no longer
considered at all curious or wonderful.
All the coal veins of the world are made
up of vegetable matter and must have
required immense forests to furnish the
material for some of the thickest veins.
In the Ignite veins OF the Western
States large blocks of wood are some
times found, and these scarcely changed
in color or appearance since buried, no
one knows how many thousands of years
ago. The earth's surface has un-
dergone many changes. Some of the
mountains were once under the sea, and
probably large areas of the present ocean
beds were ranges of mountains, but it is
scarcely possible to employ our mode of
reckoning time TO vast geological periods.

A Memory Test.

In a Western court, a witness had
been detailing, with great minuteness,
certain conversations which had occurred
several years before. Again and again
the witness testified to names and dates,
and precise words, and it became neces-
sary for his cross-examlrer to break him
up. This was done by very simple
device. While the witness was glibly
rattling off his testimony, the cross
examiner handed him a law-book and
said: "Read aloud a paragraph from
that book" "What for?" inquired the
witness. 81 will tell you after you have
read it, said the lawyer, and the wit
ness accordingly read aloud paragraph
of most uninteresting material about
lands, appurtenances, aud hereditaments.
Then the lawyer went up and asked him
a few more questions about his memory,
and the witness was positive that his
memory was very good. Suddenly the
lawyer said: "By the way, will you
please repeat that paragraph you Just
read about lands, appurtenances and
hereditments2" "Why, of course l
could not do that" replied the witness.
''You must have a queer memory" re-
torted the lawyer, "since you can repeat
things that you say occurred years ago,
and you can not repeat what you read a
moment ago." The witness was non
plused. ."-Arg0Rdut.

The Story of an Egg.

Boyd, Of La Grange, Ga, employed a
boy to cut down one Of the giant oaks in
the grove at his place, known as the
Cline place, for frewood In the center
of the tree about four feet from the
ground was found a fresh hens egg, en-
bedded in the solid wood, there being no

Of the astonished beholders could dis

ALeper village in Colombia.

A strange community is that of Aqua
di Dios, the leper villagein Colombia, as
described by our Consul at Bogota.
Situated at about fourteen hundred feet
above the sea level, with dry, sandy
soil, and temperature of eighty-two to
eighty-fve degrees Fahrenheit, this spot
has been chosen for the lazzaretto by the
Government on account of its ancient
reputation for the cure of leprosy. Some
five hundred and twenty sufferers from
this terrible visitation dwell here, and
form about one-third Of the population;
but the most remarkable fact regarding
the settlement is that lepers and healthy
persons are described as living on terms
of perfect intimacy, there being no spe-
cifc leper quarter, though every house in
the village stands apart in a garden. Mr.,
Wheeler states that there is no case on
record of the disease having been con-
tracted here by contagiop. Even where
lepers have married healthy persons, the
husband OF wife hasneye been known to
take it from the other. On the other
hand, the mournful fact is admitted that
children born of such unions are gen
orally afflicted ,--LQR4QR NeDs. -,

difficulty by the aid Of hydraulic jacks.
At present the locomotive, whose wheels

Beneath the touch of human hand.

On frozen panes and glimpses seemed
To give of fairy land.

With silver sheen; and forth was sent
A frosty light from distant height.

Hanging In mid-air fairly,
A drawbridge spanned the chasm grand,
Cleaning before US airily.
A stream flowed down the mountains side,
And cast silvery spray,
Then dashing on with leap and slide,
With graceful bound and easy glide
1t reached the boulders gray,
And in deep gorges swept away.
Now DER the cold, gray landscape came
A wavering light, pale rose tinge
That touched the leavesand MOSES fringe,
Then slowly grew to ruby flame
Setting the distant peaks aglow,
Melting from frozen heights their snow.
So fairy-land now fades away,
And we may watch in vain.
Our frostmade pictures melt from sight
The drops roll down the pane.
