Quote of the Day
“It appears to me that the electric telegraph chiefly serves to convey the news of misfortune rapidly, inaccurately, abruptly, and partially.

Then, again, the system of telegraphing tends more and more to divide official men into two classes — idiots and madmen.” — Arthur Helps, Brevia
