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 a dispatch frem
Albany, in which the sender was not
overoareful 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 flames w.
Giles, pie clerk, Brooklyn nasty yard. "
This was afterward amended to read,

spurgeon.s Blunt Critic.

When Mr.. Spurgeon first began his
ministry, an anonymous critic used to
write to him constantly about his mis-
takes in grammar and pronunciation
Mr.. Spurgeon at first resented these
criticisms, but he soon learned to profit
by them. AFTER awhile" he said in
telling the story, 81 looked for his week
ly memoranda with much interest. If
repeated sentence which / had used
two or three Sundays before, he would
write, See the same expression in such
and such sermon. -
Mr.. Sturgeon, like everybody else,
had his pet quotation, and he used this
line, Nothing in my hand to bring"
rather frequently. So his commentator
wrote him, 1--WE are sufficiently in
formed of the vacuity of your hand.

4 HeaIth Givtnr PLANT.

The London Graphic counsels the use
Of verbena as sedative. The specially
healthful and invigorating qualities of
this plant were we'll known to the Ro-
mans, who crushed some Of its leaves
between their palms after the bath and
anointed themselves freely with it. 1t
is very good fer brain workers to inhale
its perfume, and the old fashioned cot
tage practice of growing pot Of YER
bena in the window may have arisen in
the days when balsams and aromatic
plants were cultivated specially for
their virtues as disinfectants and puri-
fiers of the air. Be that as it may, the
scent of the verbena is generally popu.
lar and is to be recommended to all
weak and nervous people to whom
strong manufactured scents are right

The infantry suffered terribly It was
impossible to advance along the narrow
track, and when the guns were ordered
up the situation was in no way better

wounded. A deep ditch, cut across the
road, hindered effective action, and the
only position where reply to the enemy's
fire was possible lay beyond this obsta-
Gle. Despite the losses of his command,

who said gravely, "That ought to have
been lanced before.
