LudicrOus Telegraph B1under.

The vagaries of the telegraph serv
ice have caused any number of serious
and amusing errors in the transmits
sion of messages. One of the most
ludicrous mistakes ever made by the
telegraph was caused by the loss of a
single dot in telegram from Brisbane
to a London news agency. AS it
reached London it read thus: "Gov-
ernor-General twins first son." which
the news agency "edited" and sent
around to the papers in the following
form: LADY Kennedy, the wife of Sir
Arthur Kennedy, governor general of
Queensland, yesterday gave birth at
Government House, Brisbane to
twins, the first born being son." The
telegram arriving in the small hours
of the morning, there was no time to
refer to any books, and it was pub
lished by most of the newspapers in
London, and the provinces and caused
an unexpected sensation. Sir Ar
thurs friends pointed out with con-
elusive force that some one had
blundered, as there never was Lady
kennedy, Sir Arthur being bachelor.
The repeated message which followed
read: "Governor-General turns first
sod" referring to railway ceremony.

HE COULD NOT ANSWER.
The Coal Passer Was Also One of
Those Who Did Not
Know.

.
A well-known naval officer, with an
extensive list of stories and knack
in their telling, relates the following
yarn as one of the best in his mental
storehouse, says the Washington
Star.
"Some one had brought grog
aboard ship in goodly quantities, and
large share of the crew reported to
quarters one afternoon in anything
but fit condition to work the YES
sci. Next morning the captain start
ed rigid investigation of the affair.
The crew was again lined up on deck
and in turn each member was cate
chised.
"'Goodacre. stand out would call
the chief petty officer, and then the
skipper would say:
'Goodacre, do you know who
brought liquor aboard ship yester-
day?'
"T cannot answer, SIR the man re-
piled. --.
$50 it went through the whole list
of the crew, and the officers were well
nigh at their wits end to know how
to get at the bottom of the whole
affair. Suddenly there appeared a
rift in the black cloud of mystery.
"a coal passer, just up from the
fire hole, came on deck, and. walking
up to the commander, saluted, say
ing: s...4
"'You have not asked me yet, cap
tain
"A grunt of satisfaction came from
the skipper. Here at last was an
honest man among all the crew. He
would tell all.
''Well, Smithers, who brought the
grog on board?'
s'The mans hand again went to his
cap in respectful salute as he said:
"I cannot answer, sir
''What happened to him? Well, it
didn't get into the official records"

10y that entered into the French gold
coins OF those days contained as much
silver as copper, and II was the silver
that gave the coins their Interesting pale
ness
The coins of the era of Napoleon III
were more golden in hue The silver had
been taken out Of the alloy.
The gold coins of tO-ray have a still
warmer and deeper tinge OF yellow. This
is because the Paris Mint, as web as
that in London, melts the gold and the
copper alloy in hermetically sealed boxes,
which prevents the copper from being
somewhat beached. as IT always is when
1t is attacked by hot air; so the present
coins have the full warmness of tint that
a copper alloy can give.
If the coins of to-day are not so hand
some in the opinion of ame teur collectors
as those issued by the first Napoleon,
they are superior to those of either of the
Napoleons In the fact that 1t costs less
to make them. The double operation OF
the oxidation of the copper with acids is
no longer employed. and the large elimi-
ma ton of copper from the surface of the
coins. formerly practiced, made them less
resistant under wear and tear than are
the coins now in circulation.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.

Severe Squeeze of Shorts in
January Cotton,

Results in the stock market were mostly
in favor of the bulls, although a good
many issues close lower. The usual
weekly sensation was furnished by the
announcement of the acquisition of the
Mobile and Ohio Railway by the South
ern, resulting in an advance in Mobile
and Ohio from As to II. The Southern,
both common and preferred, closed about
points higher. Union Pacific rose some
points on the acquisition of Southern
Pacific, which advanced 8 points on sales
of about 10000 shares. ID is also reported
that a great combination is forming by
the above roads with Atchison, Missouri
Pacific and other important Southwestern
systems, and these reports caused adj
vances in the stocks concerned. st. Paul
closed points lower, but the other gran
gers advanced, led by Rock Island.
There was considerable activity in the
iron and steel stocks, led by Wire, which,
after selling below 80 early in the week
on failure to take action on the dividend,
became strong later and rose to 46. Ten
nessee Coal strengthened toward the end
of the week, advancing about points.
Federal Steel gained point or two. The

strength on Friday. Except some little
weakness from selling to realize profits,
the close on Friday was fairly firm, and
the feeling is again becoming decidedly
buhsh. The bank statement on Saturday
was unfavorable, showing a decrease in
the surplus of over 5000, 600; but as money
is abundant and very easy, this is not
likely to exert any permanent depress-
ing influence.
The January squeeze in cotton came to

rapid rise of over 2lac to 1275c, the cor

ed to New York by the corner, and the
stock there is now about 10000 bales.
The corner is generally spoken of as
markedly successful, but this is hard to
say. There must necessarily be a heavy
loss on much of the cotton received. The

BANKER CLEW'S VIEWS,
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

New York, Feb. 2.-The stock market
continues an enigma to the average OBJ
server and shows an utter disregard of
all presidents. Activity has been greatly
diminished, and some efforts We're made
TO force declines, but with very limited
success. AT the moment the public
shows no disposition to enlarge its pur-
chases. The average outsider has made
money during the last few months, and
has either taken his profits and with
drawn until lower prices or some other
inducements tempt him TO re-enter, or
he is so confident of the future that he is
content to wait and take the chances of
still larger profits. Since railroad earn
ings are large and general business ac-
tive, and there are fewer weak accounts
open to attack than usual, there seems
to be nothing in sight to check the pres
cnt wave of optimism, until the latter
has spent its force and begun to recede.
