in Australia to prevent the savages from
destroying the telegraph poles. The en-

ahe savages with such terror that they no
longer tamper with the mysterious wires,
which, to their bewilderment, traverse their
territory from end to end. Through THE
expedient telegraphic connection is pre-
served for thousands Of miles without the
expense of watching the poles.
of the late Charles Farrar Browne
(Artemus Ward) a writer IN Scribner's
Magazine says: He is remembered by
Cleyelanders as one of the most verdant
looking youths that ever set foot within the
city. He wore slouch hat, from beneath
which protruded mass of straight and
unmanageable yellow hair. He had long
limbs and was lean and lank. HIS features
were prominent, and set off by nose that
ives decidedly Tennysonian, and was an
oddity in itself. His clothes were seedy
and ill-ftting. He walked with
loose, shambling gait. After
he had been in the city some time he be-
gan to pay more attention to his toilet, and
at last even became foppish. When he
hegan to lecture he became more partic-
ular than ever. He even leok with MIN a
hair dresser to curl his hair-which Nature
had intended should be worn uncurled-
and even effected large diamond ring and
an immense diamond pin. y
Whether ON the street, in the Office or the
home circle, he was always the same kind,
witty, jovial person.
