The Best Story Yet.

A story, hitherto unpublished, 10 told OF
Lawrence Barrett and his friend Stuart, the
threatrical manager. 1t was during the
war, and Barrett and number of other
pleasant fellows had been invited to spend
the sunday and dine with Stuart at New
London. The menue, as arranged, was to
lead off with gumbo, if any okra could be
had but when they came to scour the
the markets of New London on Friday
deuce pod of okra could be found. Stuart
sat down and wrote to Barrett to 20 to
Washington market, before leaving New
York, obtain the okra and bring 1t up with
him ,telegraphing him, announce his success
or failure, so that If necessary, the carte foi
SUNDAYS banquet might be amended. Bar.
rett procured the necessary vegetable and
went to the telegraph Office, where he found
the wires so crowded with war news and
government business that it would be
impossible to get off his dispatch for some
hours, If at all. He went out and bribed an
operator to send the telegram as If 1t was
private matter of his (the operator's) own
In which case the freemasonary between
te]eprapher's would certainly insure its get
ting through. The message consisted o.
three words "Stuart-Got okra." Mean
while Stuart and his cook were Eau deses
poir" waiting to know whether or not Bar
rett had secured the okra, and, after being
in suspense until late in the afternoon
Stuart determed to 20 down to the telegraph
Office. "For," said he, "Larry must have
sent me q message" So they started to &c
down town, and when about halfway there
saw crowd gathered around the bulletin
board of the newspaper office, on which v, wa
displayed in huge letters: "Important Wa
News-Another Reverse for the Unior
Arms-General J. E. B. Stuart Captures
Okra," and so on. Stuart understood 1t a,
once. The operator had kept faith and sem
on Barrett's dispatch, but the man at New
London received 1t, "Stuart got Okra," ano
took 1t for war-bulletin announcing tne
capture of the important village or town O
Okro, not down on the map, BY the grea'
rebel raider.

She question as to who shah represent
this aoaterial district m the next Leg
ishtsre, and nearly ali seem to agree
that oSr present able representative,
Capt L. P. Cole, should be returned.
He is sound on the financial question
being radical neither in favor Of

but in favor Of settling the question
equitably for ali.. We agree with the
Paris Intelligencer Of " recent date.
1t says:
We fail however, to hear Of any of
fering themselves as candidates for
Floater. Is it because we have ne one
patriotic enough to make the canvass IN
the district, or to devote his time to tbs
duties ofthe position in case of election?
Or is it because everybody feels that
the present incumbent, Hon. r. 2.
Cole, who so ably and efficiently rep
resented them in the last Legislature,
shOald be elected by reclamation, or
at least without serious opposition =?
He was a most energetic, efficient and

do not think we could do better than
to return him. VIII he serve And
