THE revised edition of Low's Pocket Cable Code contains an Appendix of useful phrases which were wanting in the first and second editions, and which will be found of value. It also contains some slight changes in code words which it is not anticipated will interfere with the use of the former editions. The trans- lated meanings have not been altered, and an indi- vidual using one edition and not finding a word in a telegram received, can invariably use the word occupying the same alphabetical place. The possibilities of misconstruction necessitated the substitution of these few code words for those in former editions. LONDON & NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY, (ENGLAND-) The Old Route in the Old Country.

THE value of a Cable Code to the traveling community is now so generally recognized that it is superfluous to enlarge upon its advantages. Indeed, no experienced traveler would consider his (or her) traveling equipments complete without a code of some description. The Cable Codes for the traveling public now in exist- ence are very limited in number, and, without in the least detracting from their value, may be said to fall short of the increasing requirements of the tourist. The practice, too, of the compilers of such publications of classifying the sentences under various Headings has been found irk- some, especially to the uninitiated, besides often entailing loss of valuable time. To provide, therefore, a Cable Code of a more compre- hensive and yet simple character for the traveler has been the aim of this publication. The construction of Low's Pocket Cable Code, by being arranged in alphabetical form, is so simple that any person, without the least knowledge of Telegraph Codes, can readily understand it, while the information in connection therewith—for instance, the International Telegraph Rates, —will be found absolutely indispensable in the use of this or any other publication of a similar kind. Hence Low's Tocket Cable Code should commend itself to everyone using Codes for sending messages by wire. GENERAL REMARKS. ¥ITH the aid of this Code, travelers are not only able to hold direct communication, by cable, with their relatives and friends abroad, notifying them, for instance, of their safe arrival, the state of their health, their pecu- niary and other pressing needs, etc., but can also arrange, by wire, while traveling in Europe, for their homeward passages by any Line, through Low's Exchange, London, as well as to clearly express their wishes regarding the disposition of their letters and telegrams which they may have directed to their care, at a considerable saving in the cost of transmission. One example will doubtless suffice. to make our meaning intelligible to the reader. Say a Mr. Robinson intends making a tour in Italy, and on arriving at Brussels desires to have his letters which he has had addressed to Low's Exchange, London, sent to the care of Messrs. Bigwood & Morgan, Bankers of that city. On turning to the words "Letters" in the Code, he will find that he is directed to refer to "Forward" re Letters. Then, on referring to the European Bankers — (who have been selected on account of their business relations being principally with American Travelers)—he will observe that the telegraphic address " of that firm is "Bigwood." Hence, he will wire, Low's Exchange, London, as follows: "Afternoon, London, Healthiest Bigwood, (Signed) Robinson," which reads: —"Forward all letters for me here, care of Bigwood & Morgan,"—thus saving at least eight words. The other distinct advantages which this Code offer are: Its general circulation among the principal European Bankers and Hotels, so that should the tourist, in the course of his travels, have mislaid his copy, as it may some- times happen, he (or she) will have little or no difficulty in securing another copy for reference. Secondly, in the pecuniary interest of those travelers using this Code, the principal London hotels and certain of the leading foreign hotels—as specified on pages 206-208—are prepared to receive and give best attention to telegrams that may be addressed to them in the language of this Code, regard- ing accommodation.
