As a member of the "special staff" t j whom is entrusted the duty of dealing with telegraph business at race meetings and other events of ir regular and itinei.irv occurence, 1 have visited most towns of any im portance in F-nglund, and have been a spectator of. ami in some cases a participator in. some curious inci dents, one of which I propose to re late here. Many of the most successful meet ings, from a racuig man's point of view, are those nwd at places otber- wi-e of very little size or Importance. As an example, it will be sufficient to mention Kpsom. It was a town in ; ing full account of the day's doings, the Midlands ordinarily containing!

The first day was fine, with oc-! Harper produced as usual his cash casional showers; the racing was box and sheets, counted and balanced good; and as a large company was ; present, we had enough to do not ; only at the grand stand, but also t later in the evening at the town ! office, whence we despatched a large ' quantity of press-work by means of a "W neatstone, wnicn nan been sent for the purpose. It was 11 o'clock le-1 fore we finished, and we then had a i good half-hour's walk to our lodgings. I The second day was awful. l!ain ! fell In torrents the whole afternoon, j Of course the program was carried out: but, licyond official results and , "received" messages, we had very: little to dr.. It is the only day 1 can j remember during which our boss did i not stir out of the offire. He gener- erally contrived to have some business , to transact outside about the time j fixed for each race. Thisda.v, however, the persistent ' downpour was too much for him. Af- j ter the third race, he sent rne to one of the reporters on some business I! found my man in the weighing room, ; a small temporary wooden shed at the back of lattersalPs ring. I When I entered, the jockeys were being weighed in, and there was ap- i parently some difficulty or dispute, as the process was an unusually pro-; tracted one. I waited, leaning against the back wall of the shed, and as I did so, !ec;ime conscious of voices whispering outside. I caught the words, "A bloke with a oig red ww and one ear," and my attention was arrested at once, for this was the description of our counter-clerk. I listened attentively and with increasing astonishment. The voices weie those of two men: and the gist of their conversation was, that a plot Jad been formed to rob our office of the cash-box on the ' previous day had failed, owing to the fact that Harper, our counter-clerk, had taken the box into town early i in the afternoon, instead of, as was the practice, at the conclusion of the racing. He had, however, been closely watched, and was seen to place the box in the local postmaster's safe at the town office. The safe was In the room in which we worked in the evening, and was an old-fashioned, almost obsolete contrivance. All our movements must have been very diligently followed, as the men knew not only the exact position of the safe wit h respect to the doors and windows, hut also at what hour we closed the office, and the whereabouts of our lodgings. They had also as cettained that no one remained dur ing the night in or near the room where the safe was. The upshot of the conversation, which occupied less time than it has taken me to relate it, was. that the town office was to be entered that night as soon after we had trone as would be considered safe. Entrance was to be effected from the backyard, through the window of a small room adjoining the larger one in which we worked. Further details I failed to overhear, M the dispute at the weighing-chair, which had been gradually growing warmer, now waxed loud and furious. Taking advantage of I he noise, I lipped out and hurried to the office. Taking the boss on the tide, I told bim all. He was for informing the 1 police at once, and having the place i Peeping carifully over the counter, guarded and the thieves scared off; ' I could just discern him in the dim bat after a lot of persuasion, I talked light, with the box in his hand, turn ;felm over, convincing him how much ing to retrace his steps.

He still hesitated. I could see he was again more than half inclined to let the police deal with the mattr. Of course bis responsibility was heavy; I and should anything go w rong, lie.! would certainly lie severely censured. ( I had. however, the utmost confidence in my plan, and would or could see no jossibility of failure: so that, j eventually, I succeeded in gaining his I consent This done.

At 5 o'clock the final race was run; ana an .lour ' we were hard at it in the town. later wir- his account, telling the money, which amounted to about eighty poundsout on the counter before him. Finally, he replaced it in the box, which he handed to the boss, who placed it in the safe, closing, but not locking, the door. Meanwhile, I had, quietly and un observed, procured a box very similar to Harpers's, and after partly filling it with some odd pieces of metal, 1 fastened one end of a long wire to its brass handle. I prepared another similar piece of wire. Ostensibly for working purposes, I had gathered all the batteries at our command under- j neath the counter, and when the work was over, I quietly knelt down and joined them altogether in series. At the same time I fastened one end of my spare wire to the negative pole of this monster battery; aud then, standing up and leaning over the counter, succeeded, unnoticed, in attaching the other end of the wire to a narrow brass rail which ran along the top edge of the counter. I must explain, that in order to reach'! the sale rrom the pantry door, as we called it. it was necessary to pass al most the entire length of this counter, and of course to repass it in returning. The hour for closing arrived: My three friends had been waiting some time. Everything being ready, the lxss sent our colleagues home, saying we would follow shortly, guests went with them. The three j it wasstni raining, ana they hurried i off. The gas was immediately turned j off: and I at once opened the safe j and removed the cash-box, which Harper put in a place of safety, and substituted the one I had prepared with the length of wire. There was plenty of slack wire, which we brought round the back of the safe. over the other end of the counter, fastening the free end to the positive pole of the, battery. All was now ready. We hif! behind the counter and waited. Harper, who was very bitter against the thieves, on account of their unflattering de scription of himself, took up his place close to the Wheatstone transmitter, a clock-work machinedriven by heavy weights, and capable of attaining a very high speed. An hour passed. It struck twelve. The rain was still beating against the windoi I was stiff and cold aiui ; weary, and was lieginning to wish we t we had called in the police, when l! heard something a trifle louder than ; the rain at the pantry window. , There was a quick scratching sound like a nail drawn across a slate, and immediately after we heard the window-latch slipped back and the sash raised quietly. The men were cer tainly exjicrt at their work. Had we not been alert and expect ing them, we should not have heard their operations. In a few moments the ijantry door opened with a gentle creak, and the marauder was in the room. We held our breath. Confident in his knowledge, the man had no light save what came from the windows. He approached I the safe, and could not altogether express an exclamation of surprise and delight at finding it open. He was destined for more surprise and less delight shortly. he stretched out his empty left hand to guide himself along the counter, and eelied tbe braes raiL As he did so, the full force of the battery track him: "Blaieal" be nonted. or rather relied oat He tried to let go tbe rail, bat in vala.

I Help! Help!" He writhed and strug ! gled, fell on his knee-, and by an enormous effort, tore the rail from its place: but the battery wire still held on. For a time his cries and struggles redoubled: but at last he lay ex hausted on the floor. I then turned off the current, and we turned on the Jtas. There lay our man. his face gray and distorted, as though he had a lit. He was quite young. After he nau somew nai recovered, ne iieggcd nard to be lit go, gasping out: You've done it hard enough on me. " After some hesitation, the boss de cided to let him go. I fancy he was not quite at bis ease as to how his action would be regarded by the de partment. Another reason was that the second man had got clean away. He had been waiting outside: but on hearing t.he disturbance and his pal's cries, had fled and left him. The man was grateful for his re lease, and walked slowly and heavily away. He was evidently severely shaken, and 1 should scarcely think would ever try to rob a telenraph of fice again.

In short, as it Is known at present owes its existence to the ingenuity of an English regi mental tailor, and It is not over two hundred years old. Soon after the year 1715, attracted by the profusion of fuel in Glengarry, an English company established an iron foundry in the midst of the ex tensive birch woods near the Bridge of (iarry. and a small canal was cut from Loch Oich to Loch Lochy to facilitate the conveyance of the metal to the sea. The manager of the works was an Englishman named Rawlinson, and as his residence was a convenient stroll between General Wade's garrisons at Maryborough and Inverness, he was frequently visited by officers and men passing between tne two posts, one or these was a soldier and regimental tailor named Parkinson, to whom, having recently come to the country, the novelty of the dress was an object of curiosity. While he sat by the fire, observing a Highlander who entered remaining in his wet belted plaid, he inquired why he did not out off his "cloak," jjs disapprobation on hearing it was tne oniy upper garment, unuer tne cota-uorrid was increased on being was olaited under the told that it tt everv time that it was put on; and. prompted by his trade, he sug gested the improvement of sewing the folds in the required disposition, and separating them from the rest of the plaid, by which the mantle part might be laid aside any time.

It then placed its foot on the sparrow's breast and bejtan t aring It to pieces, devouring the tlesh with great avid ity and evident relish, ence the bird was driven away from its work by the approach of a dog. Flying back to its original position in the tree, it remained until the dog had disappeared, when it again flew to the ground and began afresh tearing, the then almost lifeless spar row to pieces. It did not leave this time until it had reduced the spar row to a p ie of feathers and broken bones. This is a remarkable ca-e, and has excited considerable com ment Philadelphia Pre-s.

Thk sudden insanity of aJuroWawl a murder trial in New York has led to very curious and perplexing com plications. The case is that of Dr. Meyer, accused of poisoning, and baa awakened interest in New York scarcely equalled since the celebrated trial of another physician accused of p ilsoning, one ( arlyle Harris, who married Helen Potts and expiated his crime in the electric chair. The wide discussion of the Meyer case, coupled with the unintelligent legal practice of rejcting talesmen wbo had ever read anything about tbe crime, made it necessary to examine over 400 would-be jurymen before a jury could l e obtained. In the midst of the trial one of the jurors was sud denly seized with violent insanity, and his physicians now testify tbat he will be unable to resume his place In the box. A new Jury must now be chosen, and it will readily be un derstood that the additional public ity given the case will make the dis covery of jurymen of the requisite degree of Ignorance doubly hard. The New York Herald declares tbat qualities ons of jurymen 00 tbe original trial were tbat "they must, be unbiased, must have formed no opinions about the matter which testimony could not remove, must know none of the lawyers on either side, must not I insured in any of tbe four companies which Meyer tried to defraud, nor must they know anyone connected with the institutions: they must have no pre judices against circumstantial evl den e, and they must believe In cap ital punishment" Tbe right to trial by a Jury is one of tbe guaran tees of modern civilisation.
