strikers oxerreach Themselyes.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 16.-The brakemen on the Louisiana division of the Southern Pacific railroad went on strike on Saturday for an increase from $54 to $60 per month. The strike was local, only forty-fve men be- ing engaged. but it now threatens to be- come general. No freight train has left this city in three days, all trains being stopped and uncoupled at Gretna, just outside the jurisdiction of the city authorities. M This little village is inhabited by working people exclusively and all sympathize with the strikers. A train started out to- day with Sheriff Wagner of Jefferson parish and fifteen deputies aboard. When it reached Gretna the engineer found that two thousand people had placed themselves across the track and he was compelled to step the train. The people swarmed aboard and paying no attention to the officials uncoupled every car and the train had to be sent back. Finding they could send out no trains the company met the strike by closing their shops, thus locking out half the working people of Algiers, the eastern termi- nus of the line. Incoming trains met no in- reference.

An Ancient Turtle.


 Thinking to take advantage of my friends immense knowledge, I said, "I'll have lark, now you be quiet" Thereupon got drum and trumpet, and pistol that be- longed to my nephew who is 8 budding military officer, and mounting the broad back of the beast beat the drum and blew the trumpet, expecting to frighten him. But mo- he was not frightened. He did not even hiss. Presently, however, and before I could roll off, he on the very tips of his toes, evidently not knowing he had my weight upon his back, and began to walk at the rate of about one mile per annum toward Old Families. I remarked in playful man. ner, 'He knows you and wants to shake hands," and I was startled at the reply of my friend. "Oh, yes, he knows me. rec ognize mark, and see that his shell is a moment" "New shell, old shell, mark of recognition. Come now, this is all gam mon," said I, with laugh, as l rolled from the back of the beast ignominiously.
 But it was all true. My friend pointed to great scar in the flesh of the beast just above the tail, telling me that he was once turtle hunting and caught this one, and, cording to the custom, he cut piece out of his flesh near the root of the tail to ascertain his condition. Not being found fat enough, according to his test, he resolved to leave the meat untouched and to have the shell. Thereupon the creature was fixed to some blanks by driving nails through it's feet and a fire was made on it's back, and at certain moment the fire was swept away, and the shell, softened by the heat, was quickly pulled off, and the nails being drawn, the poor thing was allowed to go free to grow another shell and improve it's general condi tion. This story affected me much; for I saw the scar near the tail, and now I saw the nail holes in the feet, and the thin, transpa- rent shell told of its newness, and I felt in- clinef to weep. But my friend helped me by the remark that a little party of scientific men had made an inquiry to the longevity of turtles, and they had arrived at the con clusion that this particular one was four hundred and thirty-seven years, five months and one day old when the shell was cruelty removed by the agency of fire. By this time the slow creature had reached my friends feet, and there it paused and began very slowly to protrude it's skinny head, adorned with bubbles, and one of it's ugly, wrinkled fore-feet. A sound came from amidst bub- bles like "How do you dop' and then the paw, or hand, or whatever you call the front paddle of the thing, was extended to the ut most, and Old Families stopped and kissed it, and broke down and blubbered like baby completely overcome and prostrated with emotion.
