whipped by a rmn and kicked out of hisown office, for publishing an account ofhis death. He probably wished to showthe editor that he was 'alive and kifkiny.'

A traveler who has been over theground, says that people who cross theIsthmus carry along too great a variety,viz: bed blankets, pork, stewpans, andvalises. In his opinion, all a man wantsfor the whole voyage is, a bottle of bran-

Ignorance takes to dirt as naturally as it' does to ugliness. In proof of this, wewould mention that a dealer in ashes in-

forms us that the opening of a publicschool in a Ward increases the sale of"valler soap" twenty-fiv- e per cent. Fromthis it will be seen that the more peopleread, the more they think; and the morethey think, the more frequently they in-

dulge in wash basins and clean towels.

country. Alter the Milwaukie am;

cinnati Telegraph Company had been in

operation for a consinerable time, and ptidwell, it occurred to an enterprising citizenof Bangtown, which is about twelve milesfrom Milwaukie, that the prospects oi matgreat place would be much promoted byhaying the Telegraph wires extended intothe heart of that town. Very few peoplecould at first be brought to agree with

the views of the enterprising citizen. Theplace contains two stores, two taverns, oneblack smith's shop, and a few houses dis-

posed irregularly on an irregular street,extending the distance of half a mile.Several public meetigngs were held, ad-

dressed by the lawyer of the town, and"enprising citizens" by whom speecheswere made, arguing that the want of public spirit was a great draw-bac- k to the

prosperity ot the place; that while rvewYork, Cincinnati, and Milwaukie, werefast increasing in wealth and population,Bangtown by the remissness of its inhabi-

tants, was at a stand still. Had it anElectric Telegraph, you would see a verydifferent state of things. Trade would berapidlv increased by the lightning rapidi-

ty of intelligence; and the streets of Bang-tow- n,

now nearly deserted, would be en-

livened by the hum of business, and therolling of carts.

The eloquence and energy of the onlytwo zealom inhabitants of Bangtown, atlast so far prevailed over the plegmeticdisposition of the others, that the subscrip-tion list was at last made up. The ches-nu- t

posts were' planted at equal distancesalong the route, and coils of wire werestretched from post to post.

At lastihe work was perfect, and it on-

ly remained to put up a large sign-hoar- d

at the termination of the wires, which wasaccordingly done Office of the Bang- -

town and Milwaukie Telegraph Com- -

PANT.

Public curiosity was on the qui vivc;scores of people were waiting to see theoperation of the thing, and the magnatesof the place predicted the time when grassshould no longer grow in the streets, andBangtown should become a great westerncity.

Strange as it may appear, after theelectrical communication had been madecomplete, and the agent of the companyhad sat for many days in his office, wait-

ing for the clicking sound which announ-

ces that a message is at hand, no messagecame, and no electrical sparks were discharged. The immense business of Bang-tow- n

had not yet demanded the rapidmarch of intelligence which had been an-

ticipated. The store-keepe- r got his but-

ter and cheese fast enough by wagon, andsold them too slowly to ensure anythingbetter than "slow and sure profits." Noone at a distance found it imperitively nec-

essary to communicate in doubh- - quicktime with the village of Bangtown. Nocrowd was seen about the office of theCompany, contending for precedence in

the dispatch of correspondence. No birdswere seen to drop suddenly dead fromthe wires; and while electricity dischargeditself very plentifully from the clouds in

various thunder storms, and cousumed afew barns in the neighborhood, very littleof it appeared to travel over the electricwires. The agent sat patiently in the of-

fice, sucking his thumbs and reading the"Milwaukie Herald," and the "BangtownSentinel," occasionally thinking where hissalary was to come from. The stock-holde-

trembled for their dividends. At theend of six months the wires rusted, andthe prospects of the place remained instau quo. This was too bad. At last thePresident of the company, who was stillsanguine went to Miliwaukie on business,and lo! and behold, when he got there, re-

ceived a message through the Post Office,

that his wife was sick. It was a Saturday nigh. Business would detain him until Monday. But the affection of a fatherand a husband brook no delay. The postwas too slow, and with eagerness andno little excitement, he rushed to theoffice of the Bangtown Telegraph. Therehe wrote in as few words as possible, asfollows: Mr. Bluff will return on Mondaymorning. When the message was dis-

charged, he returned to his hotel, and du-

ring the next day, kept his mind in tolerable peace. On Monday he took the firststage and reached Bangtown at ten o'clockreceiving the moment that he entered hisown doors, a severe rebuke from Mrs.Bluff, for heartlessness and neglect. In ahalt hour alter his arrival, a sealed notearribed from the office of the BadgtownTelegraph, written in the,hand of the Agentvnd containing this remarkable announce-ment: Mr. Bluff will return on Mondaymorning.

The posts of the telegraph now inclineat a dangerous angle over the road; manyare fallen down; the wires are broken innumerous places, and the other night wereblown down, although the road in oneplace so as nearly to cut off the head of acountryman going to the Miliwaukie mar-ket, who has brought an action for dam-

ages against the Bangtown TelegraphCompany.
