The Telegraphic Blmder.

Telegraphic anecdotes being in order
reminds us of dispatch which some years
ago busines man in Boston sent to his
correspondent i'll New York, requesting
him to have a room reserved for him at
the hotel, as he should come on that
afternoon.
Arrived late at night he stood serenely
behind the crowd at the old Astor
House who were registering their names,
even till the clerk began to turn appli-
cants away for lack of room-assured
that his dispatch in advance must have
secured accommodation, but was sur
prised and indignant that no order for n
room had been received and was obliged
to hunt up lodgings for the night else
where
Early next morning, in response to
the demand if his dispatch had been re-
ceived, his correspondent replied in the
affirmative and that store-house had
been hired for him in Beaver street as
ordered.
ga store-house! I never ordered a
store-h house"
The dispatch was produced. 1t read;
''Shall be on tonight; have room in a
store house secured at once"
Application at the telegraph office re-
veaIed the fact that the young woman
who received the message as it came
slowly from the wire, supposed the oper-
ator had been abbreviating and she there
fore corrected % the spelling of the mes
sage, which originally read: "Have
room in Astor House secured at once.

and the timidity of the inexperienced,
who are afraid to cut, trees are quite too
often set out just as they come from the
nursery. Such trees must sooner or
ater be put into their final shape for
bearing, and the sooner this is done, the
better. Some books on fruit culture,
the French especially, give diagrams to-
show how the tee should be shaped.
These are well enough as suggestions,
but as no two trees grow precisely alike,
the only guides in such matters are, q
general idea of the laws which regulate
tree growth, and common sense in their
application. Working to pattern can
not be followed. If one has a young
orchard, the first point to be considered
is the hight at which he will make the
heads of his trees. In localities where
the summer is long and hot, it is claimed
that low heads shade the trunk, and
thus are a benefit. Others wish to have
the heads high enough to allow OF the
passage Of teams beneath them, if need
be. While there is no objection to cuI-
tivating crops in a young orchard, and
indeed it is better to do this than to
neglect the soil entirely, the practice is
becoming more general of seeding the
bearing orchard to clover, and using it
as a pasture for swine, to the mutual
benefit of pigs and trees. The hight of
the heads being decided upon, all
branches that start below this should be
removed. The next point should be, to
secure an open and weIl-balanced head,
with the main branches evenly disposed.
Beyond this, all branches that crowd,
or cross one another, all ''water shoots
vigorous growths, that sometimes start
up i'll the growing season, should be cut
away. The seasons growth being COM
pleted, the removal of branches at this
time will cause no check, and rs the q
to be cat away are all small,
no large wounds will be exposed.
Hence we say, by all means do such
pruning in autumn, while the weather
IS mild, and other farm work is not
pressing,

LincOln'S First inaugural.

Ben Perley Poore says in the Youths
CoD1paniOn - When Mr.. Lincoln
arrived in Washington in advance
of the announced time, to escape
threatened assassination, he brought
his inaugural address with him in
print, rather to the annoyance of
Mr. Seward, who, as Secretary of State
of the new Administration. had hoped
! to draft the production which was eagerly
! awaited for by the country. Mr. Lin
coin had written his inaugural at Spring
field, and had had it confdentiaIIy put
in type by his friend, the local printer
Four copies were printed on foolscap
paper, and wherever the writer thought
that paragraph would be effective, he
preceded it with a typographical fist. A
carpet bag containing these printed
copies of the forthcoming inaugural was
intrusted by Mr.. Lincoln to his eldest
son "Bob," now Secretary of War, who
was so taken abacI1 by the enthusiastic
reception which they received at Har-
risburg, that he permitted n waiter to
take it and forgot all about it. When
asked for it by his father, he was forced
to confess that he knew not where it
was.
Mr.. Lincoln Immediately started for
the baggage-room, and striding over
the barrier at the door, he began over
hauling without ceremony a large pile
of carpet-bags, until he was fortunate
enough to find the one containing the
precious document After arriving at
Washington, Mr.. Lincoln gave one copy
of his inaugural to Mr.. Seward and an
other to the venerable Francis P. Blair,
asking them to read and criticise. Some
changes were made of no great import
ance, which were given to Mr.. Nicolay,
the Presidents private secretary, to
write in fair hand on one of the printed
copies, from which Mr.. Lincoln was to
read Mr.. Nicolay corrected another
copy, which was furnished to the press,
which I now own. When Mr.. Lincoln
came out on the platform in front of the
new Capitol, his tall figure rising above
those aronnd him, the usual genial smile
was on his angular cOuntenance, but he
seemed much perpleXed to know what
to do with a new silk hat and large
gold-headed cane. The cane he put I'M
der the table, but the hat appeared to
be too good to place on the rough
boards. Senator Douglas saw the en-
barrassment of his old friend, and
rising. took the shining hat from its
bothered owner, and held it during the
delivery of the inaugural address.
Mr.. Lincoln was listened to with great
earnestness, and evidently desired to
convince the multitude before him,
rather than to bewilder or dazzle them.
1t was evident to all that he honestly
believed every word that he spoke, es-
peciaIly the concluding paragraph, which
[ copy from the original print:
''Reg~I am 10th to close We are not
enemies, but friends We must not be
enemies. Though passion may be
strained it must not break our bonds of
affection. Reg" The mystic chords of

| To discover the cause of this great
falling off, a Tribune reporter called
upon number of exporters of the dairy
products. There was little diversity of
views found among them. The best
summary of their several opinions was
made by Benjamin Urner, who complies
statistics for the Mercantile Exchange.
He said that for the last ten years Eng
| land, and the dairy districts generally of
the Continent had suffered from bad
crops. They were unable to supply the
home demand, and the poverty of the
their own tables cheap cheese for high
priced meat. "Oleo," that is exported
under tie name of oil, in the last two
years has supplanted the lower grades
of butter that formed the class of goods
usually exported. No account of the
amount of "oleO' exported has been
kept. Year before last spectators en-
tered the market and bought up and
held the great bulk of dairy goods. They
made money; and last year they tried it
again and failed, great quantities Of but

out of storage last fall.
ssTTns The s,lI,.itcr,nt;s.h of I,utter and

for export ?" was asked.
"Not materially. In England there
are very thorough systems of analyzing
goods, and dealers there are very quick
to detect imitation or aduIteration.
care we becoming greater consumers
in this country?"
"There you touch the key of the sit
uation. The above causes have had a
material effect upon the decline in our
exports, and while there are no exact
statistics kept of the amount of our pro-
duction, yet it is well known to the
trade that there has been an increase
rather than a decrease in our make both
of butter and cheese, while it Is true
that there has been large divergence
of exports in cheese from this port
through Canada and by the st. Lawrence
to Europe Yet the fact of an increase
in production and falling off in exports
proves conclusively a great increase in
home-consumption. We are rapidly be-
coming a cheese-eating people, while
we always were the greatest butter-eat-
ing nation on the globe"
A. Shields, who represents T. ]. Tip
ton, a large cheese dealer of Glasgow,
thought the adulteration of dairy goods
in this country had little or no effect
upon the trade in great Britain, as the
English buyers were too good judges
of the quality of goods to be imposed
upon, and if there was the slightest sus-
picion of quality the goods were imme-
diately analysed, that being a common
method of test in that country Nea0

INTERESTING FACTS CONCERNINt
THE EXPORTING OF THEM.
A Great Failing oil ReccntIy-Whnt has
Caused it.

There has been a decided falling off in
the exports of butter and cheese from
the United States within the last twelve
or fifteen months. PIior to 1860 most
of the cheese and butter made in this
country was the product of individual
farmers and the consumption was con-
fined almost exclusively to the home
market; but with the starting of the
factory and creamery systems the pro-
duction became so great that dealers
were compelled to look abroad for con-
sumers. A few ventures in the English
market met with srl S,r---srm receptions
that there Immediately sprang up a
large trade with that country. Soon the
great mass of American cheese found its
way to England and the cheese eating dis
tricts of continental Europe.
In round numbers, the exports of but
ter for the year ending May 1, 1880,
were 32,00O,00O pounds. For the year
ending May l, 1888, they were 100000
pounds; nearly seventy-five per cent.
less. In cheese for the same dates
the exports fell from 100000 to
$4,000, 900 pounds.

The most humble of the civil func-
tionaries of the French republic are the
naval cats. There are some hundreds Of
them, and their Importance is duly rec
ognized by the State, which supports
them in such comfort and dignity as
benefits their official position. The
French naval cat enters the service in
his l1ittenhood, and spends the first year
or two of his active career on board a
man-of-war, where he is berthed in the
hold and permitted to devour what he
may catch. Having thus passed through
apprenticeship, he is sent ashore and
ouartered at one of the five naval ports
as a terror to the rats and mice that
swarm in the victualling yards and store

ance of five centimes day, and this

And liveried servants ebony hands
Protfered the fruits of tropical lands
To her on bended knee;
Yet 4 horrible hunger night and day
Was gnawing her life and her strength away
Dying-Dying Of thirst
Tho at her hghtest will
The cOstliest wines like water flowed,
Foamed in the crystal and cleaned anC
glowed,
But left her thirstier still;
And she felt that the fruit and the wine wert

thirst.
Many suitor wooed.
For she was passing fair:
Fortunes were proffered and Jewels brought,
And challenges given, and duels fought;
But what did my lady care;
For she wasted herlove, and she gave her heart
To one who haughtily stood apart.
She thirsted for one fond look
She starved for a kiss denied:
But he cared no more for her smile or blush
Than the glacier cares for the red-rose bush;
And she pined away and died.
And true hearts mOurned her many year.
While the man she died for shed not tear,
Tis ever the way of the foolish fair
To die for the one who does not care.

SmOthered in a Pit.

At Newark, N. J., Patrick Thompson,

lost their lives Friday evening through
being smothered by mephitic Yapor
coming from a cesspool which
they undertook to clean. The accident
happened between seven and eight
o'clock. jeremiah Cronin was the first
man lost. He was overcome as he stood
by the open manhole ailj fell to the bot
tom. Thompson went promptly to his
assistance, but he also was overcome III
Il minute or so and fell to the bottom
Thomas Hartnett then made an effort to
save the other men, but only shared
their fate. The affair happened so
speedily that nobodys attention was at
tracted to the situation Of the three men
for some time.
Finally crowd gathered about the
place, but nothing could be done.
Lights lowered in the pit, which is very
deep, were extinguished by the gas at
depth of a foot OF two. No person
could so much as look into the tank
without becoming dizzy. Some of those
present besought a young man to make
an effort to rescue the other men, but he
declined, regarding the attempt as a
willful sacrifice of his own life After a
considerable time, several men ventured
to approach the opening, and with grap-
pling hooks brought the bodies to the
surface.
Thompson was for thirty-four years a
switchman on the Pennsylvania Rail
road. His wife died two months ago.
