Mouse, who invented the telegraph, and Bell, the inventor of the telephone, both had deaf-mutes for wives. Little comment is necessary, hut just see what a man can accomplish when everything is quiet] A epirited and fastidious Ottawa girl declined to lie married, though the guests were assembled and the bridegroom waiting, because tho train of her dress did not hang properly. Expostulation was in vain. She said that she had put a groat amount of thought and money into the garment, and it would be a lifelong sorrow to her if she wore it when conscious that it was not a success. The wedding was postponed for a week.
