It is a vezy common thing for large corpor- ations to build their own lines between their nd frequently I ltnvo known guests ho rt with Uw clerk because on b th rtmi til<l worn-o nld bo exchanged for generally laid theso ex. bo&rden. Wo caught a offices and factories. They use those lines exclusively for their own business. But by far the greatest^ number of what ore called private wires are really owned by the tele- graph companies and are leased by special ontraot. The longest private wire in use is from New York to Chicago. In the contract* ore stringent provisions that the wire shall be used only for the private business of the contracting party, under penalty of term- inating tho contract. Certain periods of the day or night are fixed during which alone the wire may be used. Operators re furnished by the telegraph company. The annual cost of leasing a private wire Is from f 20 to $40 a mile. The variation tn price arises from the fact that io some cases the wires ore quadrupleied, so that the same wire is used by different private persons, each sending messages at will with- out the knowledge or interference of the Other. The faclfties of the large telegraph oompanies fca keeping lines in good order have gradually concentrated Che business in their hands, so that by for the largest mile- age of private wires, so-called, ia in the hands of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The Baltimore and Ohio Bail- road Company lease a number of private wires. In all cases the operators of the private lines leased from the companies are under the control of the latter, although paid by the lessees. Most of the private lines, outside of the press lines, ore hired by bankers and brokers, who require them only a few hours a day. At other hours the line becomes a pubUo wire or is leased to other private persons. Borne of the large newspapers in the West have the use of private wires for a few hours »t night, and thus avail themselves of tbe great New York dallies the moment it is published. It is impossible to give with accuracy' th« number of miles of private wires In use, but it is ' insignificant compared with the mileage of wires operated by companies. An official In the Western Union Company said; C There ore only about 12,000 miles of really private wire in the United States. Tho Western Union Company operates 426,- 000 miles of wire, and other companies operate about 80,000. There are not over 800 miles of private wire in the Southern States.\ There ore three or four large establish- New York where all the materials Charles E.

The quickest courtship on record,\ said one old resident, \ was Hurt of Dr. Nlok McDowell, who, driving along the street in hie buggy one day, saw a beautiful girl standing at the. window. He immediate]] stopped and hitched his horse, rang the bell, Inquired the lady's name, was ushered inks the parlor, announced his own name, said he was ' pleased with her appearance and wished to marry her at onoe.' Nothing but the knowledge that she was actually in the pretence of the celebrated physician kept her from fainting. To her plea of' surprise at ttiis unexpected announcement, 1 he only replied, ' Now or never.'
