A Once Famou. nIuerrns. Belle.

Gen Joe Shelby was r-ce=-tiy in Lexington
 on a visit He was at the Morgan mansion
 looking at portrait of Miss Sallie StrOther,
 once a famous Bluegrass belle and afterward
 the Baroness FahnenbOrg, and told a story concerning her:
 He said that he was much in love with Miss
 StrOther, and became very jealous of the attentions of the then Lieut.. Gordon Granger
 who came on a furlough from the army to visit Lexington. and spent almost every day with Miss Strother. Gen Shelby said he Shelby happened Co find a large United States flag in this city, and he took 1t to his room and wrote on it in large letters: Head quarters of the United States army He got long rope and tied the flag in the middle f it, and, going in the night up to the Hun: residence, where Miss StTother staid, be climbed high up in locust tree in frcnt of the Hunt house and tied one end of the rope 1n 1t He then took the other end of the rope. and, climbing a tree on the other side, stretchod the flag across the street high in air in front of Miss Strother's homs Next morning the joke gave such publicity Co the future Gen. Granger's love making that he went away thoroughly embarrassed by the nerriment that the young men made at his expense.
 Thirty years after Gen. Granger went into
 he Federal army, and Gen Shelby into the Confederate. After the war had gone against the Confederate arms Gen Shelby retreated with his command tO Mexico to join Maxi milan Soon after he got on to Mexican soil, and was lying in camp barely over the Mexi- nm line, there came one day and camped on .he American side of the line a body of Fed .ral soldiers that were evidently afraid to violate the neutrality of Mexico by following Shelby on to Mexican soil. They lay in sight jf each other for three days without any com nunication- Finally, under flag of truce shelby sent a messenger to Granger's camp 70 make some inquiries, and among other things to find who was in command, and signed his name to the communication Gen. Granger read the note with surprise, and ent the messenger back with kindly note, which ended: T am Gordon Granger, the nan you drove out of Lexington, Ky, with | United States flag, and now have driven -ou out of the United States with the same ,ld flagr-Lexington Transcript.

The Marrow of the Dispute.

The dispute between the Western rai! way and the Brotherhood of Eagiuesrt IS m nutshell, but a disputed fact pre- clldes correct outside judgment 6s tc the party ID tine right.
 The Brotherhood alleges that classified engineers were discharged, ss a rule when their riper experience and tested hdeiIty entitled them to the highesi standard of wages. If that be true, the E otherhood IS right; the railway direc- tion IS wrong,
 The railroad direction alleges that ep. gineers were not discharged because of tbe higher wages which experience ana hdeilty commanded under the classifics- tioD. If that be true. ihe Brotherhood IS wrong; the railroad direction IS right.
 The demand for uniform wages for engineers rendering the same service. regardless of experience and tested Gdel- Ity, IS utterly inexcusgbls as @ naked proposition; but 1t IS possible to mRke II not only eIcussble but unsuitable, if the npe eLperIence and proved fidelity are made the ground of dismissal
 II is obviously the interest Of railways to encourage Iu every wsy tLe best ex- perience aud fidelity in engineers. The safety of the public and the economical and satisfactory administration of rail ways clearly demand the generous recoZ- hilton Of such qualities in engineers, snd If Railways refuse II the only prntec- tiou to capacity in the calling ia to de msnd uniform wages for all for the same service.
 It IS obviously the interest Of ensin- eers tn have the assurance of increased compensation for the best experience and fidelity ID their profession. Any other rule must destroy every Iuceniiv. to enlarged fitness for such responsible trust, and with such plsin mutual in- terests why cannot the Brotherhood and the railway direction adjust the disputeg

Profits of the Fig Tree

The following is sn extract from an essay on fruit culture read before the meeting of the California State frui, growers, by R. Williamson.
 'Ihe ng k the most ancient fruit We cultivate. In many old countnes the failure cf this crop almost means stsrva- tion and famine. Travellers in Asia Minor and southern Europe provide themselves WitE hss bEd olives as provisions for long !ourEels, and DO; Ouly live, but endure. and grow fit on the diet. The fig has more medicinal properties and more nu'rment than aay other fruit, except possibly, the olive. High prices have prevented their general use ID America smyrna exported 2I,6G0OOO pounds of dried figs ID 1881, and other countries brought tbs grand total up to 4OOOO OOO besides the large amount consumed at hone, EnglaSd, the United States and Germany receive the bulk of tbls export
 In DO country does the fig thrlye better than ID Southern Arizona. Trees SIX and seven years old will yield poo pounds to the tree, which at SIX cents per ponnd, the current price is SI2 per tree. Fig trees of fromI ten to twenty years old hsve frequently been known to yield from SO to 1000 pounds of fgs when dried
