OwenSborO Inquirer: They have
some accommodating railroad mana
gers in Kentucky. A representative
of an Greensboro wholesale house
tells story of an exhibition of this
quality on the railroad between Elk
ton and Guthrie. The road is Il
grand trunk line twelve miles in
length. As the mixed train was la
boriously crawling along over the
rails few days ago, q farmers Wag-
on came in sight loaded with sim
gle hogshead of tobacco. The farm
er hailed the train, which slowed
up, stopped, and got ready TO receive
the tobacco. After great deal of diff
ticulty the hogshead was placed in
the car. 1t first rolled to the ground
and got into all sorts Of unmanageable
positions, and was hard to handle,
but the trainmen were not in hur-
~. They would not allow a hogs
head TO trouble them if they had to
sit up with it all day. The manage
ment Of the road is supposed to be of
the kind called liberal.

HIS REASON.


Yesterday shortly before noon an
unknown man walked up to one of
our local editors in front of the post
office and after a few minutes CONVEX
satiOn drew a clasp, some say not a
clasp, but merely slight movement
from his vest pocket, and then rapid
thrust at the editor, who, dazed for a
moment, staggered a few steps, turned
half around, threw up his arms and
fell heavily to the ground. The usual
crowd gathered in a few seconds, the
man in the meantime having walked
off. No effort was made to drag the
prOstrate editor to the nearest drug
store, in such cases made and provided,
neither did any fleet feet bring the
ready physician. A few cool heads
applied the usual restoratives which
had the effect. Someone asked why
the man had assaulted him, but no one
could tell, neither would the editor
answer but gathered himself up after
being restored to consciousness and
went off and the crowd dispersed,
the usual wondering for the cause of
the occurrence being INDUCED in, of
course. Later in the day his friends
fearing it was a case of syncope, or
hysteria, sought and pressed for an
explanation. The man met me-"
said the editor and rendered me his
subscription. This at once made me
feel dizzy. l thanked him for his con-
sideratiOn and asked if he did not re-
gard my paper as becoming more and
more live, sensational issue (?) To
this he made no answer but asked me
if wrote those articles about preach
crs being in the starry realms. 1
bowed and told him l had that honor.
Then he said, Dommed if l marry"

ECHO ANSWERS WHEN? +?

When shall my darling wed?
Softly to my love I said,
When the viOlets sweet were blowing,
Like her blue eyes gently glowing,
And the wintry winds had fed;
LOwly did she make reply,
When the swallows hOmeward fly"
Summer with her gorgeous train
Swept the violets from the plain;
Lilies gracefully were bending,
Roses sweet their perfume sending
On the June-time air again;
Still she answered lovingly,
When the swallows hOmeward fly"
Glorious autumn clothed in gold
Deck the woodland aud the void,
But my heart-my heart is sighing,
For the swallows hOmeward flying
Brought a presence grim and cold;
For my love with eyes of blue,
Homeward with the swallows flew.
Now u spectre grimly stands.
Beckning me with Outstretched hands:
Cold the snow is drifting, drifting,
Ger newmade grave is sitting,
Binds my heart in icy bands
Never from that icy chain
Will my heart be free again

KENTs MAIDEN CENTENARIAN.

OF Miss Caroline Thompson, whose
death in her Tooth year was reported
the ChestertOwn Transcript says
During the later years of her life she
lived principally in the past, though
she continued until within year of
her death to take lively interest in the
happenings of the day. For sometime
prior to her death she was blind, but
until within year past she used to
have one of her nieces read the country
papers to her, and she listened with a
keen interest. But above all things
she delighted to talk of the period of
20 and so years back. The best part
of her life was lived before the day of
steamboats, and railroads. When Sara
tOga was in its infancy as summer re-
sort, and the revolutionary beaux and
bells had not yet ceased to talk of the
days Of seventy-six, Miss Thompson
made trip to Saratoga, travelling the
whole distance of 400 miles by stage.
Four hundred miles by stage line in
these days would be a trip to appal
most travellers. Miss Thompson s
memory was filled with interesting re-
miniscence concerning this trip, and of
Saratoga as it appeared at that period.
She was 13 years old when George
Washington died. She never saw him,
but remembered distinctly the wave of
sorrow that swept through the country
at the announcement of his death.
Lafayette she had seen in person at a
ball in Philadelphia on the occasion of
his second visit to this country.

A CONTRACT LABOR RIOT.

The riot at Cleveland enfOrces an ar
gument against the importation of con-
tract labor hundredfOld stronger than
acts of Congress or the speeches of
demagOgues. The legislation on this
subject has been absurd and mischiev-
Gus, for the reason that legislation
cannot rightly reach the evil and, by
interfering with the liberty of the in
dividual, does more harm than good.
But the importation of cheap labor un-
der contract will cease when it is found
to be both impOlitic and improbable,
and that is what the strike at Cleveland
has shown.
The iron men had SO many disputes
with their hands that they brought
over lot of Poles and BOhemians, who
were not supposed to be better work
men, but were expected to be more
tractable and to work contentedly for
moderate wages. This answered well
enough for time, but us soon as the
AOA SAe5AOAo S5OO W Gil ttCClllldJCu buCN Ut-
came as exacting and unreasonable as
the men they had supplanted, with the
great disadvantage added that they
were more ignorant and therefore far
more troublesome. Unaccustomed to
their surroundings and unfamiliar with
the language or customs of the country
they could only be dealt with at second
hand and they readily became subser-
Went to any incendiary adventurer
who might see profit in melting them
to Il riot. As Il result of all this they
have not only taken to strikes, thus
renewing the trouble they are ex-
pected to cure, but their strikes are of
a peculiarly wrong-headed kind that
can only be met by brute force The
Cleveland iron masters are wishing
now that they had left the Poles and
BOhemians at home.
