Telegraph BIunders.

Two funny telegraph stories are print.
ed by the Pittsburg Dispatch on the
authority of former employee of the
Western Union company.
He was receiving dispatch from
Albany, in which the sender was not
overcareful in the matter of spacing his
letters. Lawton took the address as fol-
lows: "Dr. A Wing, room car agent,
Central depot, New York.
The dispatch came back with the
marginal report that there was no such
person at the address named. The oper-
ator at Albany was called up, and ex-
plantations followed, in consequence of
which the address was changed to
drawing room car agent, Central de-
pot"
A still more absurd mistake was once
made in the same offices when tele-
gram was received for "James w.
Giles, pie clerk, Brooklyn nasty yard. "
This was afterward amended to read,
