close to Brady"
In conversation with Miner and Vale at
the National Eotel, in Washington, Miner
told Vale he had been talking to Rerdeil
about giving him employment; he thought
they should give him a good thing. Vale
said he had been thinking of the same
thing aud acceeded to the proposition.
Miner said they would fix him and asked
him how he would like some mail service;
be could 60 West and be his own man.
Witness did not answer positively, but re-
garded himself as acting under this agree
ment from March I. Vaile spoke of the
possibilities Of the service, saying some
of the routes let at $4,000 would be
pushed SO as to yield 5000, 600 or 500 600
year. He thought the Rawlins White
River route would be good one for wit.
ness to begin on. Witness went to Raw
Inns and employed sub. contractor on that
route. 1n the meantime he wrote out a
number of petitions for increase and ex-
pedition and caused them TO be circulated.
At that time (March, 1S79,) S. W. Do1-
sey was quaIreling with Miner and Vale,
and refused to allow his brother to furnish
the affidavit. Vaile said he thought he
could get Brady to accept an affidavit
from the sub contractor, and within few
days reported that Brady had consented
to do this. By Vaile's direction witness
wrote out blank affidavit and sent it to
Perkins for his signature. 1t came back
signed with the spaces reserved for
men and animals untitled according to
direction.
Mr.. Merriclr presented the affidavit to
the witness, who identified it, aud said the
words I" One' preceding trip, three !"

stories high. 1t is used exclusively for
the storage Of finished work, with which
it is packed as full as it well can be.
Mr.. D. A. Altick. the senior member of
the firm, is the pioneer carriage builder
of Lancaster. He commenced business on
rather small scale as long ago as 1S4S.
He gradually increased his business until
it attained it's present prominence. In
1873 he took into partnership his eldest
son, 8. w. Altick, and in 1880 w. B. AL
tick, his second SOD, was admitted. From
1S4S to the present time, the establish
ment never closed the workmen have
never been laid off, except for some fault
of their OWL, and they never have failed to
receive their wages on pay day.
There are from seventy to eighty
hands constantly employed and it is
creditable to the men as we'll as to the
employers, that every one of the fcremen
and nearly all of the employees learned
their trade in Altick's shops. The only
exceptions are few old stagers who were
full grown workmen before MIR. Alt:ck
began business. The payroll of the es,
tablishment since 184S will show that
more men have been given employment
and more wages paid them than has been
paid by any other business enterprise in
Lancaster, except our great cotton mills.
The trade of the establishment is princ.
pally wholesale and very large proper
tion of it comes from the South aud West,
though considerable fine work is sent also
to Philadelphia, New York, and even New
England, where carriage building is a
speciality. The popularity of Altick' s
work has done much towards making Lam
caster a centre for carriage building and
quite number of reputable establish
ments have sprung up in this city, all of
which we believe are doing fine business.
And it is not an exaggeration to say that
no city in the state turns out as much
work, as good work, or sells it at as low
prices as the carriage manufacturers of
Lancaster.

Pigeons in Military Service.

The employment of carrier pigeons az
carriers between military stations In Ar
iona and other sections OF the In
dian country, where the telegraph lines
are being constantly interfered with by
the hostiles, and where the topography
is not advantageous for heliographing
and other ordinary methods of signal
ing, is receiving the serious attention OF
the War Office. In q letter from Post
Townsend, Wyoming, General Nelson
A. Miles says they can be made very
useful in this direction, as he has DEM
onstrated to his entire satisfaction, and
General Hazen, the Chief Signal Officer,
who is testing every plan and suggestion
looking to the greater efficiency OF
his bureau and increased benefit to
the general public, has taken the sub
iect actively in hand, desiring to make
this agency valuable ally of the army
in its conflicts in behalf Of civilization
against barbarism on our western plains.
For two hundred miles these pigeons
viii travel as fast as the railway rapid
mail, and, through a hostile country viii
reach their destination more surely than
most men. Flying by sight, they are
especially valuable In regions where
there are prominent mountain peaks.
Between two such posts as Forts Thomas
and Apache and Thomas and San Car
los, Arizona-entirely hostile country,
broken and difficult, and in which travel
is slow and almost impossible when the
intervening streams are hooded-they
would be of vast value compared with
the insignificant cost of maintaining and
training them. Troops on detached ser
vice. with no other means OF communi-
cation, can employ them TO convey i'm
portant information with great expedi-
ton. Country physicians in England
use them to great advantage with distant
families. The middle feather of the tail
Is shaved within an inch Of the end, and
the message dashed thereto firmly with

they do not annoy the bird, but tied on

A Fable.

A Lobster who had, by years of pa
tent toll and careful economy, accumu-
lated snug sum of money, east about
him to see how he could use it TO deserve
the gratitude of the public. He first
consulted the Clam, and that Bivalve
solemnly puckered his mouth and said:
"Good idea, my friend, good idea.
You can't do better than to leave your
money to found a school of philosophy
for CLANS. Well take it and keep your
memory green for a thousand years"
The Fox was next consulted, and he
slapped the Lobster on the back and
cried out:
"That's the ticket, old man-leave
that cash to the Foxesl What we Want
to make US happy is a dictionary and an
eye-glass for each Fox"
The Peacock was found at home, and
when the subject was preached she laid
her hand on her heart and said:
sOld Lob, your head is level. Leave
that money 20 the Peacocks, and in less,
than six months We'll show you seven
new styles of gracefully avoiding spot
ted COW in the highway. Give US that
cash and we shall want for nothing
more"
The Goldfish was found posting up his
account books, and when informed of the
Lobster's mission he laid down his pen
and replied:
You have come to the right adviser,
nv friend. 1t is needless to inform you
that for the last hundred years the Cod
has had to stay under the water most OF
the time on account of having no fit
clothes to appear on shore. With that
money we can rag out with the best, hold
our heads with the highest, and we
will no longer be quoted in market at a
lower figure than rusty pork and stringy
beef.n
The Lion wanted the money given to
the feline race so that it might buy its
potatoes and cabbage in open market,
instead of stealing them.
The Buzzard didn't want to seem ava
ricious at all, but he had long thought
that some philanthropist would make q
great hit by leaving fund to provide
Buzzards with glass eyes and toothache
remedies.
Bewildered and discouraged by his
interviews, the Lobster at last appealed
to the Owl for q candid opinion ~
Well, If had pile of money and
wanted to do something TO please the
public,' replied the Owl, sI'd whack UP
with my poor relations and pay up my
outIawed debts"
