Charles O'Conor is said to have recently
endured half an hour or so of undiscriminat
ing praise of John Howard Payne. The
dreary dissertation led up to a particularly
painful recitation of Home, Sweet Home
with interjected and CALCULATIONS
of praise. Don't you think that is a master

ously. II do not" was the blunt reply; sit
is doggerel, and you would know it if you
had any Judgment at all about poetry"
There is nothing more nonsensical in the
whole history of literature, the venerable
lawyer is represented as saying, than the
fame given to Payne for those rhymes.
"There isn't a thought inr them worth pre-
serving beyond the old and worldwide one
of the sweetness of home. There isn't any
excellence of language or structure. The
piece as n whole is IN a par with the senti.
mental song of tho negro minstrels. The
tune is all that has kept tho words from
oblivion, and that was an old Sicilian air,
stolen by Payne. U~nrewarded geniusl Payne
hadn't any; and if he was able to make a fair
living, us he did, out of his commonplace
writings, he got all tho reward that he do

was asked to give an account Of the battle o
Wagram he would answer with a show o
modest reluctance: 1.-The battle of Wagraml

old story" When further pressed, he would
relate as follows: "This is It.: The emperor
was on horseback. He called his aide-de-
camp and said TO him, Who is that warrior
that is spreading death and terror amid the
ranks of the enemyP Sire replied the aide
de-camp, it is Jean Bernard, Of the Cote-d'or.

Cost Of the Strike.

Whether the operators win or lose IN
the contest being waged with the NNes-
tern Union telegraph company; wheth'
or they return to work ~ former wages
or succeed in obtaining the advance
in wages asked, the pecuuiary loss
which they will sustain will lie very
heavy. ard will take months Of hard
labor and rigid economy 10 replace.
From the best information a,taina5le,
the average price paid the operators
was $3.50 per day. The advance re-
quired is fifteen per cent. or in even
figures twenty-tighr cents per day.
The strike has now been in progress
seventeen days which at $3.50 per day
represents less 10 the strikers OF So -
each i'm wages. Should they succeed
in obtaining the increase Of wages dc.
manded they viii have TO work one
hundred and fiiiy-one days to re-
cover the losses of wages incurred dur
the time they have been idle. 1t viii
be one hundred and fifty-one days
nearly half year-before they will
realize any benefit from the increase
OF wages, should they succeed in OBJ
tanning their demands from the COM
pany. Should the strike continue
thirty days 1t would represent TO each
striker loss OF 5000, which woald
require hi days =, replace the wages
lost during the strike. This estimate
Is bas ed on the ieput,d average price
OF 81 80 per day, and whether the sum
be greater or less, the average viii be
the same. In this computation of loss
no account is taken Of the money tx
pended useiessly, the deb,s incurred,
and other lcsses, which are the legiti-
mate result Of idleness. If laborers
