HISTORIC TELEGRAM.
It's Sender Recently Retired ON q Pen.
sion for Life.


sion for Life.
One of the greatest services ever
rendered by the telegraph was the
transmission from Delhi Of the famous
telegram of May II, 1857, which warned
the Punjaub Of the outbreak of the In,
dian mutiny. The telegrapher, Bren-
dish, who sent the message, has Just
retired from the service in receipt of
special pension equal to his salary.
Brendish and Pilkington were the
two young signalers under Mr.. Todd,
the superintendent of the Delhi tele-
graph office. On Sunday, May 10, at
four p. m, it was found that the line
from Meerut was interrupted, and Mr..
Todd started to find out the break. AT
the bridge of boats across the Jumna
he was met by the mutineers the fol-
lowing morning and murdered. The
lads, who were left alone in the office
outside the Kashmir gate, saw the mu-
tineers pass, and continued steadily
tclcgraphing to Lahore all the news
brought in by poems as to the doings Of
the mutineers in the city. Brendish
went out at noon to see what was 60
ing on, but was desired by wounded
British officer to go in and close the
doors. There for two hours the two,
with the widow and child of Mr.. Todd,
remained, and at two p. m. Brendish
went to the Umballa instrument and
telegraphed the historic message: "The
Sepoys have come in from Meerut and
are burning everything. Mr.. Todd is
dead, and, we hear, several Europeans.
We must shut up. And now am off,"
The little party then made its way
to the flagstaff tower, where the Euro
peans had congregated, and from there
saw the blowing up of the magazine.
That night they fed to Umballa. Be-
fore they left the tower Pilkington
went back to the Office to send q mes
sage for an officer. Every step of the
way was taken in danger of instant
death, but the daring mission was &C.
complished, for the message is recorded
as having been received. AS the last
click died away the mutineers burst
in and the signaler was slain. The
effect of Brandish's warning message
to the Punjaub was that the regi-
mcnts tainted with mutiny were dis
armed before they knew what had
taken place at Meerut and Delhi-St.

LOST FOR 1000 YEARS.
A Great Find of the Highly Priced
Thessalian Marble.

The quarries from which the an
clients obtained their highly-prized
Thessalian or verd marble have been
discovered, and are again being worked
by an English company. The quarries,
which have been lost for more than
1000 years, are in the neighborhood OF
Larissa, in Thessaly, Greece. The am
cient workings are very extensive, there
being no fewer than ten quarries, each
producing a somewhat different de-
scription of marble, proving without a
doubt that every variety of this marble
found in the ruined palaces and
churches of Rome and Constantinople.
and likewise in all the mosques and
museums of the world, came originally
from these quarries. In fact, the very
quarry from which the famous mono
liths of st. Sophia, Constantinople, were
obtained can be identified with abso-
lutte certainty by the matrices from
which they were extracted.
In modern times verd antico marble
has only been obtainable by the de-
struction of some ancient work, and it
has, naturally, commanded extraordi-
narily high prices. AS a consequence, a
number of ordinary modern greens Of
Greek, French, Italian and American
origin have been described and sold as
verd antique marble. No one, however,
who is really acquainted with the dis
tinctive character of the genuine ma
terial could be deceived by these in
ferior marbles. Thessalian green is
easily distinguished from any other
green marble by the following charac-
teristics: 1t is "breccia" of angular
fragments of light and dark green,
with pure statuary white, the whole be-
ing cemented together with brighter
green, while the snow white patches
usually have their edges tinted off With
delicate fibrous green, radiating to
the center of the white. The cement
ing material is also of the same fibrous

WASHING BLANKETS.

Summer is the best time for washing
blankets. To do the work satisfactorily
I'LL tub half full Of soft hot water in
which half bar Of Ivory soap has been
dissolved, and wash gently with the
hands. Resin soap and hard rubbing
ruins blankets. When clean rinse well,
hang on the line in the sun. AS soon as
dry, fold evenly and put away securely
in bog or closet. Blankets washed
thus will remain fresh and soft for
years.

On Bundle of Nerves."

This terra is often applied to people whose
nerves are abnormally sensitive. They
should strengthen them with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. After q course of that
benign tonic, they will cease to be conscious
that they have nervous systems, except
through agreeable sensations. 1t will en-
able them to eat, sleep and digest well, the
three media for increasing tone and vigor in
the nerves, in common with the rest Of the
system. The mental worry begotten by
nervous dyspepsia will also disappear.
