owners ofithe ties, proceeded about
one mile above town to their boom,
which was tied TO the Texas shore,

THE TIE .TGRAPH COMBINATION
PARTIAL TERMS OF AGREE
MENT.

New YORK, August 2l.-Presl-
dent Orton, of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, was inter
viewed this morning in regard to
the terms of contract drawn up
between his company and the
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company at meeting held last
evening, in the parlors OF the
Windsor Hotel. Mr.. Orton said
that all that could be made pub
lie WAS that an arrangement had
been entered into between the
two companies whereby the West
ern Union would receive S7a and
the Atlantic and Pacific l2a per
cent. of the gross earnings OF
pooled receipts of both COM
papies. The contract drawn up
was, he said, lengthy document,
but he refused to make public any
thing more about the provisions.
The arrangement referred to went
into effect this morning, and the
decision of the conference would,
he added, be final.

! Discussions Among Ohio Work
inglnen.
fCourier journal.


To add to the variegated aspect
of Ohio politics, the WorkinPman s
party Of the State is now said to
be inharmonious with itself, there
being a Columbus wing and a
Cincinnati wing, the Cincinnati
being too communistic to suit the
wing designated Columbus. An
attempt has been made, it is said,
to induce the Cincinnatians to
withdraw the State ticket recently
nominated, that farmer may be
put at the head of the labor move
ment. So far the Cincinnati nomi-
nees are not inclined to retire.
Their hands are not horny, but
they can stick. Their brethren of
Columbus propose to hold a con-
vention on the 18th of September
to nominate a new State ticket
and make a new platform.

There was once very smart
boy whom, to begin with, we will
call Little Fizze. He was one of
those wide-awake boys who poke
their noses into almost everything
they see, and tLipk they know hall
MS much again us all the rest of
the world. He went TO school very
young. and his mother wanted to
have him learn to read and write

but he preferred to study ''geog'
fry" gram mar, and 'rlthmetle Le-
sides. As he Was SO very bright,
be soon learned to write very bad
ly-spelled words, and could not
tell you in quite incorrect language
what a verb Or an adverb was. If
he was likely to say Michigan WAS

other boys OF his age, it may be,
never heard Of either place. For,
young rs he was, you sec Little
Fizzle had come to point where
he must choose between two ways.

q great many things, or he could
well learn all about o few things.
He made mp his mind be would do
the first !; and that's the way he
went on, and grew into a big
Fizzle.
When he wanted to read he
never took one nice story and read
it every word, but he SKINNED
over the easy parts of a dozen, and
jumped them altogether in his
mind. As soon as he owned o tool
box he almost made a cart, and
began fine table, and finished .
remarkably pretty rocking-chair,
