The Youngest Member OF the Forty.
Eighth Congress, and the Youngest
Man Eve, Elected to the National Leg.
islature-A Brief Sketch Of His Ca.
reer.
We here present the readers of the
TINES with an excellent likeness of
the youngest member of the present
Congress, and the youngest man ever
elected to our National Legislature.
Geo. A. Post, of Susquehanna,
Pennsylvania, enjoys this distinguish
ed honor, representing the 18th DIS.
trict Of Penns. lvania, comprising the
counties Of Bradford, Susquehanna,
Wayne and Wyoming Mr.. Post is
only 20 years Of age, of fine physical
proportions, smooth face strongly
marked with mora than ordinary char
acter for one of his years, and is one
of the most popular and promising
young men Of the State.
Mr.. Post was born in Cuba, N. Y,
September /, 1854, removing at the
age of seven years to Oswego, In that
State, where he resided until 1873,
receiving his education in the Oswego
Academy, and the Oswego Normal
School. He then removed to Susque-
hanna, Pa, shortly after entering the
service of the Erie Railway, in which
he was soon promoted to Il position Of
responsibility. He was elected Mayor
of Susquehanna when only 81 years
of age, which position he filled with
distinguished ability.
Mr.. Post, while in the railway. SER
vice and during his Mayorship, i'm
proved his evening hours by reading
law: and so naturally apt was he in
mastering the intricacies of Black
stone, that in a few years be was adj
mitted to the bar. Tho politicians of
Northern Pennsylvania began to see
that Mr.. Post had won a standing on
the tidal wave of public popularity
that would elect him to Congress as a
Democrat in the 18TH District, which
IN the previous Congressional election
had given Republican majority Of
1921. Consequently he was placed
in nomination last fall by the Demo-
Gratis, and elected hy a plurality OF
, 454 votes over the Hon. {. G. lad
win Qnd. Rep.), whose term expiced
with the Forty-Seren,h Congress
This great victory by young man q
only 20 years Of age over : gentleman
who had served acceptably in Con
gress, and who in age is many years
his senior, is the greatest ecomium
that an appreciatlve constituency could
bestow on the character and ability OF
Mr. Post.
OTHER HONoDS.
Mr.. Post is prominent in othe,
than political hono:s He is lead
ing member of the Knights Of Hoi.or,
having been Grand Director (exeeu
tive head) of the Grand Lodge OF
Pennsy lvania for three Years, and the

THE SEASON OF 's3.
The acreage of bearing vines is now 70
per cent larger than it was in 1850. And II
| iba season of 1888 should prove 10 be as
| favorable as was that of 1880, the crop would
reach 100000 and perhaps 100000
gallons. This would probably cause some
reduction in prices. In 1880 there were
some 10 1000 acres of new vineyard started.
This will give its first crop in
! 1889. In 1881 there were about
20, 900 acres planted anu in lSS2
about 10000 acres. These new vineyards
win be in full bearing three and four years
from now, and will proportionately aug,
ment the amount of wine which we will
have TO dispose Of But not witbstanding
the TACT that so much attention is being
given TO grape growing and the fact that SO
many persons are embarking in the bust
ness, the new acreage OF 1883 will not, IN
the opinion of the best judges, exceed that
of1SS2. This may seem strange in view Of
the fact that the public interest in vine
growing is much greater than it was veal
ago. The explanation is perhaps found in
the fact that the prices OF grape lands have
| been under the Increased demand anC

ArkanSaw Traveller.
A well known engineer, while engaged in
the survey OF "A railroad line through u wild
and sparsely inhabited part of Arkansas left
the camp one day to make, as he termed it, a
social call on the natives. He suddenly ran
upon small clearing" near the centre of
which stood an unpreteatious habitation OF
"daub' and log. A raw-boned man emerged
from patch of yellow bladed corn and ex-
claimed:
Hello tharln
GOOD morning" said the engineer, adj
vaucing "As happen to be transacting
perapatetic business through your commun-
ity, thought I'd call around and see you. "
The squatter looked at the engineer criti-
cally for moment and replied

roll up his sleeves

used it thoughtessly.

''Well, if you must fight" replied the
engineer, 81 am with you. Come on"
The two men "pranced" around each other
for a few moments, and began pugilistic
lodges and devices The squatter possessed
the old time Touchdown theory, from which
the science of boxing evolved, but the engin-
eer was man with all the modern appli-
