"That is the new school house, is

teacher,D as the farmers plodding lit
tie team passed by little white house
standing endwise to the road, inclosed
in a rather dilapidated fence.

remarked Uncle Zeke WOODBURY., "but

heartily that she had hired out as

her were dreary enough at best, but TO

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
An Offer of the Baltimore Il Ohio Com
Pany to Construct with the
Government.

Washington, February Sd. III.
Bates, president of the Baltimore u
Ohio Telegraph company, and Robt.
Garrett, president pro tenn. of the Bal
timore g. Ohio railway company, APP
peared before the senate committee on
postofiices and post roads to-day to de-
fend the interests of that company in
connection with the postal telegraph
measures which the committee has
under consideration. Bates explained
what the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph
company expect to accomplish in the
way of competition with the Western
Union.
Then M. Garrett addressed the
committee, saying the Baltimore d
Ohio was pre- pared to-day to enter into
contract with the postof1ice depart
ment to transact the business of the
public upon some plan which would
be satisfactory to the public and profit
able to the company.
Senator Wilson asked what assu-
rance could be given in case the COM
mittee was unable to reach a conclu-
sion in the matter, that at some not
very distant day the, Baltimore d
Ohio company would not enter into
pooling arrangement with the west
ern Union company.
Garrett said he could only point to
the history of the Baltimore u Ohio
railway in the past, and in his turn
asked how the telegraph company
could satisfy the committee on these
points, and also said that rates would
be maintained at tariff satisfactory TO
the public.
Senator Hill SAID he had respect for
the Baltimore d Ohio company
and its management, hut the
motives of its managers were
the same ms those Of the managers
whenever it could be made. If more
could be gained by consolidation, the
consolidation would inevitably take
} place. Combinations paid better than
competition.
: Garrett said he believed the day foi
consultations had passed. His COM
! pany had made contracts and eXpend-
, ed its money, and wished to know tht
views of the committee as TO now IL
r could be satisfied that the company
was in earnest.
: Senator Hill said there would come
q time when the Western Union
T would offer the Baltimore d Ohio foul
8 or five times as much for Its lines a.
9 they had cost. What guarantee couit
! be given that the company would no
: sell?
| Garrett said the company had no oo
lection to giving any guarantee Una
e could be devised.
0 Senator Wilson asked ifin the pro
! gress of inquiry the committee coui'
be able with the aid Of exports TO de
/. termine what would ID

PICTURESQUE Saw-MiIl Relics in Maine.

MANY of the old mills are gone, but
now and then one is yet to be met with
on the bank of some rapid stream, all
fallen into ruin, however. 1t is COM
monty off the travelled road a little.
and the spot where it stands seems all
the more lonely from the tokens it bears
of the busy scene it has been. The way
that once led down to the stream is
most likely growing up to bushes The
mill itself was dismantled years ago,
and you will see wheels and other parts
of its machinery leaning against the
walls, where they have stood SO long
that they have grown gray and messy
as the granite boulders which support
them. 1t is popularity of people who
have such property that they never
throw away nor destroy anything which
has once been of service, although no
one knows better than they know that
for all coming time these objects must
remain utterly worthless. The true
lumberman will never be found convert
ing his worn-out yokes and sleds to any
other purpose, nor using them for fuel.
They have acquired in his eyes sacred
ness from their associations; and he
leans them carefully-tenderly, we may
say-against the walls which flank his
house on the roadside, and there they
will rest so long as he lives, with the
hope on his part that no one will come
after him to disturb their repose. Scat
tered along the path to the mill one will
see lying ON the grounds beams and
planks which had been brought SO far
in their purposeless removal and there
abandoned.
The mill will bear marks Of long neg
lect. Boards are gone from its walls,
leaving the frame exposed as skeleton.
The roof is broken, and portion of it
has fallen from the weight of snow with
which it was loaded in winter. The
foundations have been washed away on
one side, and the old frame leans out
over the water. Braces have fallen at
one end. and hang swinging by single
pin The water-wheel has broken loose
from the side of the mill, and fallen into
the channel of the stream. There it
lies, its rim half filed with sand, its
floats gone, and the joints all open from
alternate shrinking and swelling and
warping in the sun. Lower down the
stream huge beams are lodged among
the rocks. These were parts of the
foundation of the mill Mud-sills they
may have been, laid deep and firmly
bedded in the ground to sustain the
weight and jarring movement of the
milI-gear resting on them. Now the
water and weather have rounded off
their corners and worn the surface
smooth. Knots, if there were any, pro-
trude in rounded knobs. Spikes and
nails are left prominent, and are coated
thick with rust. The worn surface OF
the wood has silken lustre, where the
loosened fibers, bleached almost to
whiteness, show the sheen of a satin
finish. The rings of annual growth, as
they were cut through in hewing, ap-
pear in layers along the side of the tim
ber, and there show how slowly and
how gently the forces of Nature are
operating to take apart and to scatter,
atom by atom, the fabric the sunbeams
wrought ages and ages before. Boston
