THE QUEENS MESSENGER.
An Amusing BIunder Made by "A TeIe-
graph Operator.
Ouarfarlv Ravfau


When a messenger returns to London from
foreign service he is placed at the bottom of
the list at home available for duty, and many
thus reckon perhaps fortnight clear at his
disposal. 1t is not well, however, to count
on any precise period OF leisure with too
much certainty as is shown by the follow
ing Yeracious tale, which has been repeated
many a time and often in Downing street.
Captain A, having just returned from ST.
Petersburg, saw his name we'll placed at
the bottom of a Roodly list OF names ready
for duty, and judged it expedient to spend
his anticipated fortnight In the sunny
south of France. About a week after his
arrival at Monte Carlo he was startled and
annoyed by the receipt of the following
strange and apparently impertinent tele-
gram:
Chief Clerk. Foreign ONCE, TO Captain A:
You are fast aud dirty. Return al once
Having puzzled awhile over this enigma,
it occurred to him that, whatever might be
the explanation of the first sentence, the
last was an order which his sense of duty
compelled him to obey. lie accordingly
packed up his traps and returned forthwith,
to find on his arrival at Downing street that
the telegram, as originally dispatched, ran
as follows:
You are first ON duty. Return al once"

Senator Stewart Acknowledges that His

WASHINGTON, April Tin the Senate to-
day Mr.. Stewart made an explanation on
the subject of al article in yesterdays

of mortgages made to him In Alameda.
Cal. wherein there was an obligation that
payment should be in gold coin. These
mortgages. he said. had resulted from sales
of property at auction through a firm of
brokers in San Francisco. The mortgages.
he presumed. were drawn up IN the usual
blanks, which contained an obligation to
pay in gold. He had never seen them, but
he had no doubt that was the case. 1t
arose from what was known as the Pacific
contract law, passed in 1868, which was

during the war.
Mr.. Hale hoped that the Senator would
see to it that no such thing should take
place in the future.

that he would be glad to he paid in any
kind of money. He had always BEEN OPP

thought had operated to the great detri-

that his brokers had drawn up the mort
