ASSOCIATED PRESS TELEGRAMS.
It is well known that there is a leak in the Associated Press Office. In point of fact there always is a leak. Why any one should think it worth while to steal the Associated Press cable dispatches is a mystery, when they could be manufactured in any newspaper office with much less trouble. The following dispatches are a fair sample of the ordinary cable news which is sent to the Association. "We need hardly say that they were not stolen from Mr. SIMONTON, but we will say, as we have already said, that there is a leak. A word to the wise is sufficient—though, of course, by the expression, 'the wise,' we do not mean any reference to the London agent of the Associated Press."
LONDON, June 6. The Times of to-day has a paragraph on the big trees of California.
MR. SMALLEY denies that he ever wore a hat resembling that of GUSTAVE FLOURENS.

ROME, June, 8. The Ecumenical Council is still in session.
There are more strangers in Rome than there have been at times when the number was less.
ALEXANDRIA, June 8. Several vessels have passed through the Suez Canal since its completion.
The Suez Canal is by some regarded as a success. Others think it a failure.
CALCUTTA, June 6. A native was killed by a tiger near Bundelcund eighteen months ago.
YOKOHAMA, June 6. The P. & O. Steamer Bombay has run down and sunk the U.S. Sloop Oneida.
ST. PETERSBURGH, June 7. Some discontent was caused by the emancipation of the serfs.
BERLIN, June 8. BISMARCK has notified the Upper House that no exemplification of the categorical plebiscitum will be favorably entertained or rejected.
In view of these important dispatches, PUNCHINELLO respectfully suggests to Mr. SIMONTON, that instead of trying to put an end to the stealing of his news, he put a peremptory end to the London agent of the Associated Press. Otherwise the agent will soon put an end to the Association. One or the other event must take place, and it is only a question of time which shall occur first.
