1872 Points to the Rod.

This justly celebrated fencing is the
lightest Barb Wire made. The dia-
mond steel barb is 80 secured on the
wire as to allow it to vibrate, which
prevents any unnecessary lasceration
of stock. The cable wires are from
steel, No. -, plated (not twisted) to-
gether, and will stand the greatest
tensil strain.
This wire is protected against rust
by covering of Pure Boiled Iron Clad
Mineral Paint, which is practically
rust-proof.
The Kelly Steel Barb Wire is the
lightest, the strongest, and the best
protected against rust. The diamond
barb is so secured on the wire that 1t
cannot be removed, is so strong that it
will not be bent or broken, and will re-
tain its sharp point long after all
other styles of barbs are rusted blunt.

ALARMING ACCIDENT. At Knoxville,

ing away the whole side of the building
and playing havoc with the machinery.
The locomotive struck a stationary ell

There's a church, but newly builded, on whose

Aud the evening service ended, and the priestly
blessing given,
Out the people throng, and homeward turn, to
muse on life-and Heaven.
In the sacred doorway lingering knight and
peasant maiden stand,
And the moon shines full upon them as he
sloops to kiss her hand
From the church upon the hill -side, joyful vale
of Engadine!
Bells are pealilg, pealing madly; they are
bridal bells ween.
And the path is strewn with roses, all their
perfume fills the air
They are kneeling at Che altar, knight and
hish-born lady fair.
From the church upon the hill slope, mourn

Bells are tolling, tolling sadly, funeral bells

NOW the nuns are chanting VeSperS and the

Shed their dim rays DER a maiien's face, so

On hillside in the 5Grisons, sunny vale Of

Stands church, so old and stately, on whose

And the traveller stops to wonder at its crum-

Quaint old relic of the many centuries that

In the graveyard on the hill-slope, daisies
spring and violets grow,
And the sun, forever smiling, sees them come
and sees them go. Mus. S. Ii. +.

An experienced dairyman states O

An experienced dairyman states as
his opinion that sweet cream makes a
butter that must be eaten fresh the
butter has very delicate flavor, but
not the rich, nutty flavor of that made
from well ripened and sour cream. Milk
should be skinned while it is sweet.
All the cream will rise before the milk
sours, if it is properly cared for. The
cream is then kept in stone jar in a
cool place for three days, and stirred
once day, when the fresh cream is
added. During this time it sours and
ripens, and will yield the best quality
of butter, and may be churned in less
time than sweet cream. Sixty degrees
is the best temperature in which tc
keep the cream.-Texas State Farmer

THE GREAT TELEGRAPH
STRIKE BEGUN.
Situation in New York, Washington, Gin.
cinnati and Chattanooga.

The great telegraph strike has at last
begun, and Indications point to long
and bitter struggle. Following are
condensed items from some of the most
important cities;
New YORK, July l9.-When the
time ball which is suspended over the
main office of the Western Union Tele
graph building at Broadway and Dey
street fell at noon to-day, four hundred
instruments were clicking as merrily as
crickets on hearth. Ten minutes
later, or II o'clock Washington time, a
short, shrill whistle sounded through
the operating-room, and in an instant
$50 Instruments we're silent--the strike
had been inaugurated. The men were
cheered as they filed out Of the room
Oh to the street, and they marched off
to the elevated station, and took trains
for Caledonia Hall, at Eighth avenue
and Thirteenth street, where meeting
of the Brotherhood was in session.
WASHINGTON, July l9.-The order
for the strike came from Pittsburg at
FIVE o'clock this morning directing the
Brotherhood to leave their work at noon.
At the hour indicated about nine
tenths of the entire force communicated
their intentions to the manager, and left
their desks. 1t is possible that they
will have for duty tonight ten effective
men.
CINCINNATI, July l9.-At ll:30 Am.
Cincinnati time, tall. nervously pale
operator of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company rose in his seat and
struck three sharp blows on his desk
with brass ''fle.' The order to ego
out" had not come in by cypher,as some
would suppose, but had been given at
II o'clock the night before. 4 ont Of 6
lady operators joined the strike
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 1.-two
out Of the three operators here, ceased
work. Business mimpeded.
We have only mentioned a few of the
many offices that have Struck"
Railway operators, members Of the
Union, are orderetl by the Brotherhood
to remain at their instruments for rail
way purposes, but to transact no mer,
camille business. The Associated Press
is likely to, be,well provided for during
the strike. Western Union officials ex-
press the intention of serving the papers
we'll and satisfactorily, and claim tc
have sufficient facilities for doing the
press business.
Many married operators have saved
money preparing for the strike, and the
Brotherhood is said to have $3.50, DOC
in its treasury.
The Bill of Grievances is as follows
