They don't wait anybody to borrer their

the very best they can.
I like a m « n who can’t refuse a poor

I tmnk however that every man ort to do

Hut of all times in the world I look
upon the credit system as just the thing
for a panik—not that the panik is any
thing pcrtikler to me. By no means.
I've been right in the middle of one all
my life. I’ve never seed the time that
there wasent a crisis at my house. I was
horn in a strain, and its follcred me up
like a shadder ever since. I’ve got akkli-
rnated to it, as the doktors say. It’s part
of my daily entertainment to contrive for
future supplies- It keeps me lively and
jolite and amiable. I hear these mer
chants tawkin about “bridgin over” and
"hedgin in” and diggin a bole to-day to
be filled up to-moarrow. Well, eTcxy man
and woman in these times ort to do tho
very be*t he or she can, but as for nodgin
and bridgin I could hav got a patent
right for all that sort of bisness 20 years
ago, and had it renewed for improvements
every par since. No sur, I've no idea of
jinin the cash system at my time of life,
aisi espeshually jud at tins pcrtikler
period. My constitution wouldent stand
it. It's goin to be jest all that a feller
can do to git through this squeeze on a
credit, and as for me I would perish to
deth in two days if u>y existence depended
on the cash, ft’s goin to take a dubbie
team to pull through this mud hole,
shore, and right smart pusbin behind.
We've all got the brecchin on at my
house, and weT. go through if tho home

The Carrier-Pigeons Beating the
Telegraph In Hie Transmission of
News from Versailles to Paris.
fenaiUts Corrv»|sjodenc« New Turk Thaos.]
Perhaps it is worth while noting here
one novelty in the way of transmitting
news. Tho Paris journals are not greatly
noted for enterprise, and all of them ap
pear to think that, for anything which
transpires beyond the French frontier,
few day* more or less in the transmission
of news can make very little difference.
But it is a very different matter with
news trom Versailles. The smallest
journals have two or more men contin
ually there, at salaries of eight hundred
or one thousand francs per month, aided
by messengers, and authorized to use a
cub whenever neoessazy. In the stable
adjoining mine, a Gaulois reporter keeps
his horse at the expense of the
journal, and drives to Versailles
every morning before 9 o'clock, coming
bock in the evening. Those who reproach
the French press for want of enterprise
little know their liberality in getting
news from Versailles. But the heaviest
xpensc fall* upon the evening journals.
T«*ej go to pr< .it a ;i0, and hence must
nave tile news sent by express, by special
courier, or by telegraph. As a general
thing the latter mode is found too slow,
owing to the regulations of the service.
A piece of nows which does not please the
eye of the operator has to be submitted
to bis chief, who may perhaps demand
signature of the Minister of the In
terior before he sends it. As this would
require two or three hours, and perhaps
un entire day, the telegraph is not exact
ly trustworthy for the transmission of
political news when one is pressed for
time. In consequence, the telegraph has
been given up to tne oillcial and semi
official press. In the present cose the
Liberto has surmounted the difficulty bj
•mploying carrier pigeons. A cage of birds
is token to Versailles by train every morn
ing. The rti»orter writes in very
fine character upon tissue piper, and
cry half hour] tends his notes out to an
assistant in the yard of the Trianon, who
attaches them to the bird and starts him
off at once. The trustiest dispatch agents
are kept for the last. The bin! rises
itraight into the air for about a hundred
feet, remains poised there a moment
while getting his bearings, then shoots
away with remarkable rapidity, and in
direct lino for his familiar cote. He
Jaah in without delay, rushes to his mas
ter, who is waiting for him with his din
ner, and offers no resistance while the
manuscript is being detached. A mes
senger takes it at once to the printers.
The birds take from fifteen to twenty
minutes to make the trip, just about the
time it would take a messenger boy to
stroll from the telegraph office to the
bureau of the journal, and he brings
each time the matter for eight or ten or
dinary telegraphic dispatches. But care
must be token in writing, so that the
words can be read by a magnifying glass.
The last bird is dispatched about ten
minutes after 3 o'clock, and being an old
and experienced carrier he is generally
on hand at 3:30 wita tho “very latest
news.” Yesterday the birds were on
time, while the telegraph dispatches sent
off at the same moment were only pub
lished in the edition of 7 o'clock in the
evening, having arrived a half-hour too
•ate for the first edition. I am told that
the forms are kept open for four or five
minutes when a bird is expected, but
never delayed for an instant for the tele
graph. Ail this is not very creditable to
the telegraph men who have invented the
means for sending four messages by the
same wire at the same instant, two in
each direction, but it is nevertheless a
curious commentary upon the times.

Kaat Hiluxbuxd cays that nowhere
is honesty more general than in Fran m t
it is found everyw here and in every station,
from the poorest day-laborer to the mil
lionaire. Thieves and swindlers on a
large scale there are, of course, but no
more than in England and America; pet
ty broaches of trust are absolutely un
known. Servants and workmen are scru
pulously honest; theft* about house, the
disappearance of small articles, petty
frauds, are never heard of.
Sava a wit; Last year I saw a watch
.pring, a not* run, a rope walk, a horse
dr, and even the big trees leave. I even
saw a plank walk, and a Third avenue
oank run, but the other day I saw a tree
box, a cat fish and a stode fence. I am
now prepared to see the Atlantic coast
and the Pacific elope. My Uncle Con
sider says he saw a tree bark, saw it boi

tree held on to its trunk, which they
