WEARING ON NERVES.

1t Is the special nature of the fash that
wears on the nerves of the telegraph men.
If a presidential &c should go wrong
they would account it a big blot upon
their records. That Is one rea son why
two circuits are usually made to carry the
flash. II is only the Washington office
which knows prior to the sending, which
of the circuits will be used. This Is done
to keep the men along the route keyed up
to the proper degree of attention, so that
the idle circuit could be brought into in
slant play If necessary.
As soon as the flash has gone through
the circuit is dismantled and the tele-
graph flows on over the same wires which
but q short time before carried the Presl.
dent flash.
