An Editor who Could Shoot.

Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, re.
lating some amusing incidents to the
Washington correspondent of the Boston
TrGUeyer, said: II remember that
shortly after the war was over tall, raw
boned Yankee came down into the State
from New England, and asked my advice
about starting a Republican newspaper
in one Of the parishes above New
Orleans. 1 told him that he would be
very likely to have quite a lively time Of
it in the then state of public feeling, but
he said he was going ahead, and l be-
came interested in him. He started his
paper, which was a small concern, and
began by making bitter attack on one
of his political enemies, who was a
creole and very hot-blooded. He fol-
lowed up this with similar attacks on
the same person, and, as l expected, he
was challenged. The editor paid no at
tention to the challenge, until one day
some one came in and told him that the
creole had publicly asserted that he was
a coward He then loaded up his double
barrel shotgun with buckshot, put on
his hat and coat, and, holding an open
umbrella with one hand, and his shot
gun in the other, he made tour of the
town in search of his enemy. The friends
Of the creole notified him that the editor
was out on the war-path, and managed
to smuggle him away. Soon afterwards
the editor came down to New Orleans to
see me, and, after transacting his bust
ness, he took the steamboat to go home.
Now, during his absence, some of the
citizens of the town met together and
agreed to assemble on the wharf and pre-
vent his landing. When the steamboat
arrived the wharf was covered with men,
md, upon the editors appearance, they |
shouted to him, in many different keys, !

,rowd over, and then drew out his shot
gun and loaded it in their presence. Then
le mounted the gang plank and walked
shore, remarking as he did so: IF there

have all been informed of the dissatis

ed resolutions to the effect that they will

HARD AT WORK.
On Friday a reporter in New York
found $50 persons at the tables in the
Westem Union operating room Many
were young girls and boys of 16 or
tnereabouts. These seemed to be doing
nothing in particular The rest were
young and dmiddle-aged men with tagged
ont appearance. In the corner where
the Wheatstone apparatus Is, there were
plenty of operators, sbut none were at
work. One of them whispered that
there was "trouble in the lines again.
'How many of the old operators are
now at work ?" was asked of the report
er's guide.
-NOl over Ten, ne Salu.
els it true that dummies were put
at the desks yesterday to make a show ?"
After a cautious look around the reply
way:
Eyes, and I'm mistaken if there are
not lot of them to-day. A good many
of these kids that I've watched don't do
anything. I'll tell you what it is, this
thing can't last much longer We've all
been on the rack here since yesterday
noon. Men can't keep on working night
and day both. The company can't get
men to take the places of the meu who
struck. They were the best operators
in the world, and trained just for this
work. These boys aud girls at the desk
can't do the work and can't learn to do
1t. There are a dozen men working
around this floor now who are better
operators than any of these new men,
but they won't take instruments because
they sympathize with the men, and the
needs them too badly to dis
charge them for disobeying orders.
On Monday the condition of affairs
hld in no degree improved Master |
Workman Mitchell presided at a meet |
ing held in New York city and read a 1
number of encouraging letters and tele-
grams received from various parts of the |
country which showed the men to
be holding out steadily and making con-
slant accessions to their ranks. All are
confident of ultimate success, and that
within a short time. He thanked the
operators and linemen for their orderly
,onduct and abstinence from the use Of
as such conduct had resulted
n ''placing another peg in the switch
)oard' of public opinion.
On Monday the officers Of the COM
,any still insisted that they had no idea
# compromising with the Brotherhood,
While the striking operators insisted
hat in all the offices through the coun-
ry the books were full Of copy that
ould not be sent of. The company's
flicers insisted that they were only afew

A Satisfactory Fence.

I have a better style of fencing than
any I have seen described. Our soil is
such that it is almost impossible to
make posts stand in it, hence barbed
fencing and pretty nearly every thing
else except the old Virginia rail fence
soon goes to ruin. To obviate this diff
Guilty l build all my fence above ground.
It's perfection has cost me much time
labor and expense, Int / have got a
thing which meets my iiea Of a conven-
lent, economical, saft and efficient fence.
It may be briefly described as a barbed
fence with a rail in it. The rail is 2x4
sawed hemlock, of such lengths as we
buy at the mills and lumber yards, gem
orally about 49, feet They cost ten
cents each. These are framed to two
posts of 3x4 timber feet 9 inches long,
which cost nine cents. The adjacent
end-pieces or posts of two lengths set
into one removable foot, made of two
pieces of timber and two pieces of board
which cost six cents, and two, three or
more strands Of barbed fencing are used.
Before prices of barbed fencing became
demoralized under the recent decision
of the United States courts it cost me
from fourteen to twenty-seven cents a
length for three strands of different kinds
of fencing. Prices are now less. Nails
and staples cost less than two cents
Total cost of material about fifty cents a
length of 10! feet
A fair mechanic can make thirty or
forty lengths a day. A good Farmland |
can make half as many on barn floor |
any rainy day. One man can take
length and the post to support it and |
carry it anywhere, though on account of
its peculiar shape and the prominence
Of the barbs, it is good deal
better thot one should take hold
1t each end. No post-holes are
Ire required, and no preparation of the
ground is necessary except to see that
t is level. No mailing or tieing together
S required. 1t is simply set down, and
t is there and stays there till it is taken
Up and carried away. 1t has the advan.
age over all-wire fences that the rail is
lot only visible, but it serves as a four
nch guard to keep the animals from
INNING "side on" against the barbs
)ne wire above and one below the rail
makes a good fence against all cattle and
orses. One above and two below, or
wo above and one below, makes a good
snce against sheep and grown swine.
When built of the Buckthorn solid steel
arbed fencing, with the rail placed
ext the top strand and neatly painted,
is much the finest looking fence into !
-hich the barbed fencing enters as a I
art, and with appropriate surroundings
really the most ornamental of all
heap fences.-O. S. Bliss, Georgia, vt.

have lone home by the sideof the moor.
Its walls and its roof they are gray;
There my father and my mother lived happy
andpoOr,
And left it for the church-yard clay.
She dwells in a mansion fine,
Bowered in roses and woodbine;
But she says that she does not care to stay.
She will walk in at the door
OF the lone home by the moor;
wish she were there to-day
I'll deck my lone home with the best that can
And strengthen its walls old and gray:
I'll lay down at her feet the true heart of hon
est man,
And love her till it moulders into clay.
So she shall neer repine
For her roses and woodbine,
Her lordly roof and chambers fresh and gay.
She shall choose content, secure,
In my lone home by the moor,
And turn its silent darkness into day.
