Telegraphy in Europe.

Last year there was expended for telegrams in the countries of Europe $15,400,000, at an average of 32 cents per message. In this expenditure Great Britain led the list with nearly 43 per oent. of the whole; France came next with about 22 percent.; Germany, 14 per oent.; no other country exceeded 8 per cent. The length of wires in Great Britain very slightly exceeds that of Germany, and is nearlj a fourth more than France; in this particular, Switzerland takes the M of the NgaUer European states.
