Amusing Mistakes In the Fermentation Of
Telesr.phio Message. "
Many have been the laughable mis-
takes made by telegraph operators in
transmitting messages, but it is seldom
that one is recorded 80 amusing in its
consequences as occurred in the summer
toa gentleman Of this city. Z
He was spending his vacation at tho
shore. A dance was to be given one
evening, and, as Mr. - expected his
brother down from this city to attend
the festivities, he bethought himself of
tho excellent plan of sending to him
for some flowers, which are always &C.
ceptable to the young ladies on such &C.
casions. s3saas.s-e.s t.s4..,,ss
The scheme was no sooner conceived
than it was put into execution. The
telegraph office was sought and the fol-
lowing message was written and direct
ed to Mr.. IS brother in Hartford.
Bring three dozen Bon Silene
roses"
With tranquil mind and a happy
heart Mr.. awaited the simultaneous
arrival of his brother, the roses, and
the eventful evening. But meanwhile
the telegraph operator had got in his
work, either at one end of the line or
the other, and so far no one was the
wiser.
Mr.. IS plans for the distribution
of the roses were doubtless well set
tied, and he eagerly awaited his broth
er's arrival. At length the latter hove
in sight; but, goodness gracious! what
was the matter with him? He was
loaded down with bundles, and out of
his pockets peeped still others. In fact, it
seemed to be only with difficulty that
he could get along at all, so weighted
down was he with mysterious pack
ages.
After partially recovering from his
surprise Mr.. demanded to know
what in the world his brother was
swearing at. The latter, as soon as he
had breath enough, demanded in his
turn, in an injured tone of voice, to
know why he had sent for so many. Il
brought all could" he added, and
that was two dozen and half"
$50 many what?" returned Mr.. -.
"What have you got there anyway"
The brothers suspicious began to be
aroused and he Sid nothing, but drew
forth the telegram which he had re-
ceived:
Bring three dozen beers sub rosa. -

VENERABLE VANITY,
Large Numbers of Human COunterfeits II
Circulation.

Large Numbers of Human COunterfeits IN
Circulation.
The vanity that survives the decay
of every personal charm is, of all
foibles, the most ridiculous. One can
hardly blame a beautiful woman for
rejoicing in the admiration to which
her mirror tells her she has a right
or for setting off to the best advan-
tage the physical PROJECTIONS with
which Heaven has endowed her, but
the withered grandam who was once q
Hebe is not excused by her antecedents
for attempting the role of Hebe in spite
of faded cheeks, lack-luster eyes and
hair that has deprecated from gold to
the change.
Looking glasses tell the truth to
three-score as to sixteen. They reflect
saffron as faithfully as rose, and when
the saffron is OVERLAND with manufact-
ured bloom they tell the enameled
elder to her face that it is unnatural.
And what the mirror says silently So
possible to mistake rouge for the tint
of nature. The imposture is as ap-
parent to every observer as if ''Beware
of paint we're written on the forehead
of the pink-saucered lady. Pale young
women as we'll as sallow old ones are
much given to coloring their cheeks in
this age of personal artifce. Hundreds
of girls between the ages of sixteen and
twenty paint their faces at least as
often as they clean their teeth.
Never were there more counterfeits
of nature in circulation than in this,
our day. 1t seems to be the fashion to
be spurious.-N. Y. Ledger.
Gaslight on Gems.
The appearance of all fine gems is i'm
proved by gaslight. A perfect emerald,
despite its color, which in any thing
else would turn to a dull blush hue,
by artificial light The blue sapphire,
though darkened, remains true in color,
as by daylight. The alexandria is the
only gem that changes, turning from a
dark Divine to brilliant blood~red by
candle or gaslight. AL gems are i'm
proved by setting them in a. circle of
diamonds. There is an increased de-
mand for colored gems every year,

fancy for diamonds, unless they are
exceptionally fine stones of perfect
color, is steadily decreasing. There are
few stones which are so increased in
value by purity of color as the ruby

How to Sell a Saloon.
An American barkeeper, who wants
to sell out his place, has lit upon a
novel idea for doing it. Here's his idea:
10 every person who buys, check will
be given the amount of his purchase.
When five dollars worth of checks are
gotten they can be returned and
ticket will be given him. Then, at the
end of given time, say two or three
months, the present proprietor will re-
sign and the bar-room, with all it's con-
tents, turned over to the holders of
these tickets. These can then settle it
among themselves as to which one is
the owner. They can then rattle for it
or do what they please with it. It will
be theirs jointly, and they can settle it

EXCESSIVELY CHRIsTENEp.

How q Young Lady Came to Be yery
Numerously Designated.
There is a young girl who has recent
~ entered into society here who, if she
should write her name out in full,
would write it something like this:
"Anna Lucy Cecilia Lillian Virginia
Katherine Helen Jones'"
Not that this young girls parents had
a fancy for piling the names up for their
only daughter in this way; not that she
had so many distinguished ancestors to
be perpetuated did it happen that she
was christened to death in this way. The
story is one that is not a common one
and she tells it herself in something this
way:
Mamma is very high church wom-
an and was anxious that the christening
ceremony should be performed very
shortly after my birth. A list of names
was written out and handed her to in
dictate her preference from. She placed
a mark over against the name Cecilia,
which was the one she wished to have
me bear. Now, the rector of the church
was young man, not used to all the
offices of his profession, and he was nat
urally somewhat abashed of having an
infant placed in his arms for the cere-
mony- At the same time a slip of pa
per was handed him with the name
which was to bear marked, but in
some way he misunderstood the direc-
tons and Jealous of doing his entire
duty, he began at the head of the list
and solemnly piled every name on the
paper on top of my bald head.
My father tried very hard, he says,
to shut him off, but without any sue
cess; therefore it remains to this day
that my baptismal name is Anna Lucy
Cecilia Lillian Virginia Katherine
Helen."- Y. Sun.
