Hannibal Hamlin at a Rn1l F;rh4

Minister Hamlin, having somehow
strayed to a bull-tight at Madrid, and,
after watching the proceedings for
while, said: ''Those fellows don't know
how to handle bull. Why any farm
er's boy down around Bangor would
know enough to put ring in the crit
ter's nose and hitch stick to it. Then
they could lead the beast around as
handy as could be."-San Francisco

The Best He Gould Do,

A short time ago a dealer in Pennsyl-
vania failed, owing New York house
several hundred dollars, and an agent
was at once dispatched to see if any,
thing could be saved from the wreck
After the lapse of two or three days he
wrote back:
'sComplete failure. Can't realize a
cent. Debtor skipped the country. Best
can do is to elope with his wife. Fair
to medium and 50 years old. Answer
by telegraph.
The answer instructed him to return
home and let the debt go.

THE WIFE OF JESSE JAMES was
also his cousin. the daughter Of re-
spectacle people living near Kansas
City. They were engaged in 1869,
just after Jesse had been made an out
law under the civil code and price
set upon his head. Their courtship
lasted five years. One evening they
were together in the yard of his
mothers residence at Kearney, when
five men entered the house and made
fruitless search, the bandit lying
under rosebush twenty feet away.
The Gad's hill robbery netted 1000,
of which Jesse received one-ffth and
on that capital they were married, and
went to Sherman, Tex, for their
honeymoon. Jesse was participant
in the robberies at Corinth, Miss, and
Munice, Kan. He subsequently rails
ed fast horses at Edgefeld, Tenn, and
was delegate to the state Democratic
convention which nominated Governor
Porter. The daughter was born in
Baltimore. during Jesse's absence on
the Mortified raid. The outlaw spent
a week at the Centennial exposition,
and recognized many people from
Missouri. Last summer they had
lived in Kansas City, under the name
of Jackson, in a house in which the
Blue-cut robbery was planned, and
which for week afterwards sheltered
the main actors in the bold crime.
Mrs. James says her husband had
nothing to do with the plundering of
the treasurer's office at the Kansas
City exposition, or the robberies at
Baxter Springs, Kan and Otterville,
Mo. Mrs. James has received an
offer to travel with a circus, this
summer. Two Of James horses Cal
leged) have already been sold to
circus. Most of his personal property
has also been sold to relic hunters for
large sums No circus on the road
this summer will be fully equipped
without full outfit of Jesse James

Preserving Fence Posts.

A correspondent of Country Gentle
man says: [ have tried number of
methods of preserving posts, and none
have been satisfactory except perhaps
one to be mentioned presently. Heart
oak, Il seasoned, will last great many
years without any application what
ever-how many / am 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 [ 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 all on
fence posts recently set. although I
have barrel on hand purchased chiefly
for that purpose. About my yard and
premises | have set, since the war, a
good many posts of pine, that being
the only sawed timber [ could get.
These have had to be replaced in four
or five years after setting; some have
completely rotted off in three years,
though heavily dosed with hot coal tar.
Now for the exception referred to
above. Ten years ago [ built grape
nv at the end Of the house, as a screen
against the western sun, using sawed
pine posts. Anticipating difficulty Of
ever replacing these posts after they
became covered with vines l
took the extra precaution of complete
ly saturating the lower ends with
kerosene common ceal oil-before
applying the tar. These posts are now
perfectly firm, and almost as sound as
they were when put in. All other pine
posts set at that date have entirely
rotted and persisted. The result of
this experiment SO thoroughly impressed
me with value Of coal oil as a preserv-
alive Of timber under ground, that l
[ now use it on all posts
in building, afterwards covering with
hot coal tar. This is essentially the
plan proposed by Mr.. Parker Earle.
I add this, however, which think
will doubtless prove of great value: L
bore half-inch or three-q quarter inch
hole in the post near the ground, slant
ing downward and reaching beyond the
center; this is to be filed with kerosene
from time to time-perhaps once IN
three or four years will answer. L
feel sure that insects very greatly hast
en- the decay OF timber, to say the least;
and kerosene being repellent to them,
makes it a valuable application at any
point where they are likely to do
mischief.
