Over beyond Strasburg I came upon
farmer sitting on log in front of a
house which at first took to be sta
BILE, because mule stood with his head
inside. He had an acre or two cleared
on the hillside, but he was a hard-up
man, and no mistake. I dismounted to
talk to him about the battlefield of Gross
Keys, and after while he said
"Stranger, I'd invite you to dinner,
but I presume you don't relish dodgers
and bacon"
Then we talked little more about
Fremont's troops, and he said:
stranger. I'd like to feed that hoss,
but my old mule has had to browse
mighty fine to keep on his legs this
fall.
Then we talked about Stonewal jack
son and his march up that road, and the
farmer branched off with:
stranger, would like to offer ye a
drink O sunthin' warmin', but fact is I
hain't seen a pint O. whisky since the
war;"
Then inquired how far it was to Pit
Republic, and whether the bridge had
been rebuilt, and he answered me and
added:
Stranger, I do feel as If I orter ask
ye in to see the family, but the old
woman's down with chills, Sails off over
| the ridge, and the fire went out an hour
ago."
mounted my horse and handed him
o cigar. That broke him up. He
turned it over and over, looked up and
down the road and from me to the house,
and finally seized my leg and exclaimed
stranger, I'm poor and way down
and sometimes wicked. but I'm right
thar when man calls my hand
can't feed ye, nor warm ye, nor give "
whisky nor tobacker. but if ye don't gel
off that hoss and come over to the spring
and have some water with me I'll nevel
forgive ye on airth."
And we drank to his luck,-.M. Quad

THE trial at New Haven of the Malley
boys and Blanche Douglass, charged with
the outrage and murder of Miss Jennie
Cramer, it is thought by those who have
been Watching the proceedings, will not
result in conviction, but rather in ac-
quittal-not because the Malleys have
been shown to be innocent, but because
they have not been indisputably shown
to be guilty of the crime for which they
are indicted. And yet public opinion
will nevertheless hold them responsible
for Jennie Cramer's death.

THE quickest time on record made by
train of improved stock cars between
Chicago and New York is just reported.
The speed from Buffalo was at the rate
of thirty to forty-five miles an hour.
The shrinkage was only twenty pounds
per head, while the usual loss is from
seventy to one hundred pounds. These
cars permit each animal to occupy a sep
arate stall. The animals can also lie
down and move about without coming
IN contact with each other. For feeding
and watering the animals without un-
loading the facilities are ample.

in the disbursement of public funds in
New York now as there was when the
lamented Tweed built his courthouse.
The New York and Brooklyn Suspension
Bridge, which started on plan of 200
feet above low water, and an estimated
cost of $1,000, 900, has got down to only
135 feet above water, and up to an actual
cost of $4,000, 600, and now the New
York Legislature has bill to appropriate
81 ,25O, 600 to complete the bridge.
