the chums supplied Wall street
with bulletins of the condition of
the sick man. The chums, how
ever, who had access to the
sick room and who con
trolled all channels of approach TO
the President gave out more misin-
formation upon the subject than allT
one else connected with the case.
Those who followed the information
given by them lost heavily. One Of
the most significant incidents occur
ring during the Presidents illness
illustrating the power of the chums
occurred upon the day that the Pres
ident was removed from Elberon.
The Pennsylvania Railroad furnished
a special train of two cars. One car
was for the sick President and his
associates and the other car was
originally intended for the Presi-
dents Cabinet. Colonel Rockwell,
one of the chums, ordered otherwise.
He took charge of the train and is
sued an order that no one be admit
ted without permission from him.
Two Cabinet officers went down to
that train and attempted to 60 into
the empty car that was in front of
the one assigned to the President.
They were stopped by brakeman,
who said that no one could be ad-
mitted without card from Colonel
Rockwell, and SO the Cabinet was
obliged to follow in another car upon
the regular train that left at 1890
o'clock.
The man who furnishes the above
addition to the history of that time
gives an interesting fact about Gen
eral Gartield's condition when he
died. Garfield was thought to be
quite a poor man, and his resources
were supposed to be not much out.
side of his Congressional salary up
to the time he was elected President
yet his individual estate, aside from
his earnings as President, was said
to reach something in the neighbor
hood Of 100000.

HOW TO PRESERVE YOUR FENCE
POSTS.

A correspondent of the COnutry
Gentlemen says: l have tried num-
Der of methods of preserving fence
posts, and none have been satisfac-
tory except perhaps one to be men
toned presently. Heart oak, il sea
soned, will last a great many years
without any application whatever
how many / an not old enough to
say. Sap wood will not last. Coal
tar has some preservative effect, but
after having used it on Thousands OF
fence posts l am almost convinced
that its application does not pay
In fact, am SO nearly without faith
in its efficacy that have not used it
at oil on fence posts recently set, al,
though l have barrel on hand pur-
chased chiefly for that purpose. A
bout my yard and premises l have
set, since the war, good many posts
of pine, that being the only sawed
timber could get. These have had
to be replaced in fo'.r or five years
after setting; some have completely
rotLed Of in three years, though
heavily dosed with hot coal tar.
Now for the exception referred to
above. Ten yeas a. | built q
grapery at the end of the house, as
screen against the western sun,
using sawed pine posts. Antieipa
ting the difficulty of ever replacing
these posts after they became cover
cd with vines. took the extra pre-
caution of completely saturating the
lower ends with KEROSENE common
coaloil before applying the tar.
These posts are now perfectly firm,
and almost as sound as when put in.
All other pine posts set a. that date
have entirely rotted and persisted
Tie result of this experiment tho
roughly impressed me with the value
of coal oil as a preservative OF timber
under ground, that now use it on
all posts in building, afterwards GOV
erins with hot coal tar. This is es
seDtially the plan proposed by Mr.
Parker Earle. | add this, however

of great value: / bore half inch o.

decay of timber, TO say the least
and kerosene being repellent; T.
them, makes il a valuable application
at any point where they are likel
to do mischief.

AS result Of the hail storms in the
early spring and the surplus amount OF
wet weather subsequently, the fruit
crop was almost failure. A greater
part OF that left by the hail has rotted,
consequently at this time there is
scarcely sign of it left. A failure in
the clover crop here has also dimin-
ished the honey supply. Plant few
acres of buckwheat and there will be
no end to it.
