And How They Started a Blaze that

Fl. G. Wicket, who is Wholesale news

Telegraph Office in Montgomery street,
large delivery room in which the newsdeal-

papers that Wicket brings for them from
New York. He also has in his service a

would ever suspect him of being. "The
General is not millionaire, and he boasts,
himself, of his want of sense. The news
dealers have not been slow to notice that
"The General" always worked with his
back to the wall, but they never knew the
reason, till, after a good deal of prodding,
he confessed that his trousers were not as

to Wickett's big delivery room, strung a

and, with a lamp at his elbow, proceeded
to sew. Things went along beautifully till
the rope got caught 1t wouldn't come all

The New Telephone system.

J. W. Lattig, Superintendent of the
Leigh Valley Railroad, has adopted the
Shaver Telephone System of Mechanical
Telephones for use on the Lehigh Valley
road. 1t is more than probable that the
Pennsylvania Railroad will also adopt this
telephone for use in its block system. The
safety of railroad train from collision will
be doubled by the use of the telephone,
whilst if an accident should occur, its loca-
ton would be almost instantaneous, and

A Chillan Hero.

There have never been but two 'hand-
to-hsnd" fights between iron-clads in
the history of naval warfare. One took
place in Hampton Roads, between the
Monitor and the Merrimac, as we all
know. The other was at Iquique. Peru,
between the Peruvian ram Huescar and
the Chilian iron clad Esmeralda. Ad-
miral Grau, a Peruvian of German
ancestry, commanded the former, and
Arthur Pratt, a Chilian of English
ancestry. the latter. The Husscar was
the swifter and more powerful vessel,
and struck the other amidships. AS she
was sinking Grau struck her again, aud
as the two vessels came together, Pratt
sprang on board the Huescar, with two
revolvers, and killed seven or eight men
before he was shot down. His vessel,
the Esmeralda, with all on board, went
to the bottom of the ocean, and he lay
alone on the deck of the victor, sur
rounded by the bodies of the men he
killed. For this desperate act the
Chillanos have made him their ideal
hero, and there is a monument to his
memory in nearly every town. Streets
and nhops, saloons, mines, opera houses
aud even lotteries are named in his
honor, and the greatest national tribute
is to destroy the custom house in order
TO erect his monument in the most con-
spicuous place in the principal city.

Greenbacks.

"Old Greenbaeks, was the soubriquet
given to Secretary Chase in the army,
from the green ink with which the backs
of the United States paper money was
printed. This ink was invented by Stacy
j. Edison, and patented in 1857, as anti
Photographic. 1t could not be photo
graphed on account of its color and
could not be dislodged by alkalies by the
cOunterfeiters to get a complete fac
simile of the bills, and as it was secret
known only by the American Bank Note
company and the inventor, it was i'm
possible to counterfeit the ereenback
money. 1t was used by many banks be-
fore the war, but ives never a leading
feature in the bill; but even il the com
position Of the ink had been known, it
would have been of no use, as the work
could not be copied from the genuine
bills with any kind of ink. The date OF
the patent could be seen on all the bills.
IN small print. Old General Spinner
wanted to have Congress enact law
making the counterfeiting Of national
notes a capital offence, as was once the
case In Great Britain, aud to have them
bear the legend which had been on the
bills then issued by the Bank Of Eng
land ITO Counterfeit is Death."- Bea

A Story About Ferdinand Ward.

George p. Lathrop tells in the st. Louis
Post Dispatch the following story about
Ward, the notorious New York fnancier
now an inmate of Ludlow street Jail in
that city:
A wealthy resident of some prosperous
New England city called on Ward one
day with note of introduction from
mutual friend. In the course of conver-
sation he remarked that he had some
money to invest, and asked Ward if he
couldn't tell him of some chance to put
it where it would bring a good margin
of profit.
Ward said that he didn't know of any
thing just then. He himself had more
money than he knew what to do with,
and beside, he was too busy with some
big scheme of his own to go into any
outside speculation. OF course, this only
whetted the New England mans appe-
tlte for investment, and in the course of
half an hour he induced the famous iinan-
cier to accept his check for $5S, 600, to
be used in one of the "blind pools" of
which Grant & Ward made a speciality.
Three or four months later the
New England man appeared again.
BY that time Ward had entirely for
gotten him and his check and it was with
great difficulty that he could recall his
name and the amount of his investment.
~ believe there's something due you9n
he said, after brief converation. TAX
ing down a large ledger he made some
brief calculations, and then observed
with a pleasant smile: '"The amount
credited to you on our books is $102,-
1884," Then to the bookkeeper: "Mr.
Jones, will you kindly draw check TO
Mr. Perkins order for $1O2, 7542"
Ward calmly turned to his work again,
while his visitor sat gasping for breath.
In the language of the day the visitor
was 'paralyzed." 1t was some time be-
fore he could control himself sufficiently
to ask if there wasn't any chance for him
to reinvest his money and double it
again; but Ward didn't seem anxious,
and at last the stranger took his depar-
ture, got his check certified at the Marine
bank, and returned to his native town.
Three days after ne walked into Wards
Office in company with four of the
wealthiest of his townsmen. He had his
certified check-the same one Ward had
given HMM his pocket, and his friends
were supplied with checks of their own.
They succeeded in inducing the fnan-
cier to accept about $3.50, 900 for in
vestment in another 'blind pool.p That
was exactly one week before the failure
of Grant & Ward.

THE SoAREcRoW.

In yonder field he stands erect,
No matter what the weather,
And keeps a watch so circumspect
On foes OF every feather,
30 faithful is he to the trust
Committed TO his keeping
That all the birds suspect he must
Dispense with any sleeping.
Sometimes his hat tips down so low
IL seems cause for censure,
For then some old, courageous crow
Believes it safe to venture;
But catching sight OF either arm
Outstretchod in solemn warning,
The crow decides to leave this farm
Until another morning.
Although his dress is incomplete,
1t really does not matter;
Perchance the truest heart may beat
Beneath patch or latter.
And It is wrong to base our love
On wealth and name and station,
For he who may will rise above
His daily occupation.
We should not look with eyes Of scorn,
And find in him no beauty
Who stands and guards our fields of corn,
And does the whole world duty,
But honor him for native worth,
For rustic independence,
And send hearty greeting forth
For him and his descendants.
