How DIR. Norvin Green Handles the Western
Unions Affairs.
Joe Howard. in Philadelphia Press.
DIR. Norvin Green came here I believe. from
Kentucky, but, wherever he came from, he came
to stay. Whatever may be the merits or demeI-
its of discussion, pro and con- the credit Of this
great organization, whatever may be the facts
concerning its stock or the fluctuations in its
price, / have yet to find or hear of a man or a
critic who had word to say against the charac-
ter, the mental acumen the physical energy or
the inexhaustable RESOURCES of President Green
He deals with large masses of men as generals
deal with armies. He meets with electricians
upon plane Of intelligence. and discusses with
them problems which would puzzle the ordinary
expert. He explores new fields for enterprise
with the zest and enthusiasm of professional
surveyor He explains to holders of vast blocks
of the property in his control the difficulties and
embarrassments in the way Of brokers, satifying
them absolutely Of the validity of his enterprises
and the prosperity attending the company over
whose destiny he presides.
DR.. Green is q great man, even when judged
by the side of men universally recognized as far
above their associates and fellows That this
great country is too vast for the domination of
any one company is q trriism which needs no ar
gument, and that other enterprises can, will and
do find favor with the popular mind is evinced
by the success attending the opposition COM
panies, the Baltimore & Ohio and the new Ma
tional which have now entered into direct and
senslDi0 cOWpettiVh VIII tie oiu monopoly. Dr.
Green differs very materially from his prede-
cessor, William Orion Both, however, were
men OF the world, enjoying the good things of
life in their season. But the death Of Orion
and the instant success of Green 60 to show how
utterly absurd it is for any man to suppose that
his life or his existence has an all-important
bearing upon any of the great enterprises of the
day.
When Orion died. it was supposed the West
ern Union Telegraph Company had received q
mortal blow; almost, but if Orion was suddenly
to return to life, his great gray eyes would open
with amazement as they rested upon paper

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
In the News of Monday evening there is a
statement of the fact that the line bisecting two
sides of plane triangle is parallel to the third
side or base, and is equal to half of the base.
Correct But the remarkable assertion is made
that this is a new discovery. It is simply a
scholium or coroary of several general demon,
STATIONS of the fact that homologous sides Of
similar triangles are proportional and this fact
is SO stated in Prof Daviess edition of Legendre.
1851, and is reiterated in 1875. If the sides of
similar triangles are proportional (which is
demonstrated in Book 4, of Davies's Legendre,
the equal parts into which the sides may be
divided are proportional, their ratios equal, and
the line joining them parallel to the third side
base This fact has been stated in theorems XIV
and XVI of that work. and otherwise clearly
stated many years ago. The sixth proposition
in the first book of Euclids Elements of &c
ometry. published centuries ago, may be re-
ferred to in this connection

MIR. HENDRICKS's PARDONS.
A Statement from Ex-Warden Shuler About
the Pardon Of the Carlisles.

Col. I. S. Shuler, who is balliff of the fed
eral court, and lives at No. 983 North Illinois
street. was warden Of the Southern Penitentiary
during the time that John M. and Cyrus Car
lisle the ex-confederate guerllas, of Kentucky,
who murdered Lieut.. Hampton were confined
there. He afirms the truthfulness of the story
of the crime, and the pardon of the murderers
by Thomas A. Hendricks, published in yester-
days Journal During their Imprisonment the
Carlisles confessed their guilt to him,
but they claimed that instead of shooting
Hampton they had held him under the water
while crossing the Ohio river to the Kentucky
side, and that the shooting afterwards was to
support the story which they told when placed on
trial, to the effect that Hampton had been shot
while trying to escape from them. The murder
was even more atrocious than has everbeenrep
resented Colonel Shuler says that during their
confinement the Carlisles were two of the most
incorrigible and troublesome prisoners in the
penitentiary. When they were pardoned by
Hendricks it was against his protest. as the war
den Of the prison in which they were confined.

Holding RattIesnake by the Tail and In
viting Bids from His Neighbors.
Middletown(N Y.) Special.
Farmer Clark. of Vernon, N j., near War
wick, Stood the other afternoon, in the middle
Of the roadway near his pretty mountain home.
His right arm was stretched out to its fullest
extent and from between his thumb and finger
dangled an immense rattlesnake. A crowd of
villagers stood at a respectable distance and
watched the writing snake swing backward and
forward like the pendulum of an old fashioned
clock Farmer Clark held the snake just below
its fourteen rattles. The snake measured four
and half feetin length, and was thirteen inches
in circumference in its thickest part, and the
farmers unceremonious treatment of it had
made his snakeshp terribly mad
He's all alive, oh, said the reckless Farmer
Clark, grinning at the crowd. "and he's goin' as
he stands fur dollar and quarter. Iwant the
quarter fur my little boy, who spied the critter
fust in the old stun wall / was a-workn in
the fields and my little boy hollered out: Come
here, pap there's big snake iist crawled into
the wall here went, O course. and sure enuf
/ seed his rattles stickin' out He near ketched
me wen yanked him outen his hole and went
over one postand- rail fence"
Farmer Clark was continuing to expatiate on
the beauty of the snake when, with the rapidity
of lightning, the snake doubled up like the lash
of whip, and struck, just missing its captor's
hands by two inches. This caused the instaIta-
neous release of the snake, and it fell in mass
on the muddy road The crowd instantly scat
tered and two small boys climbed tree. The
snake was soon captured, however, and by
Farmer Clark too who afterward disposed of it
for $l25, to Theodore Frelinghuysen Wood a
collector of snakes and animal curiosities, living
near Vernon.
