CARNEGIE AND HIS MEN.

New York Herald: Mr.. Carnegie is
said to be on a cruise and his employees
are on q strike. This is not exactly what
the Republicans promised us, but it is all
we get nevertheless.
Albany Argus: Somebody has to pay
for the beueficent doctrine of protec-
ton - and the obligation incurred to elect
Harrison. The debt seems to have been
shouldered off on the workingmen.
Nashville Herald: Banqueting by en-
ployer and cutting down wages of en-
ployes do not strike worklngmen as fair
play. The banquet ought to have been
postponed, for the cut in wages will
not be.
Memphis Appeal: The strike puts
5000 of Carnegie IS men ont of employ
ment, and, after making necessary re-
pairs, the management will say: "New
men will be secured and work resumed
as soon as possible. In the meantime
Carnegie is giving dinners to the aristoc-
racy in London and is junketlng gener-
ally, illustrating how rich men can do
the most good with their money.
Springfield Republican: Following
close upon Andrew Carnegie s swell ban,
quett to the great men of England comes
the news of the strike of his workmen at
the Homestead steel plant in Pennsyl-
vania against sweeping reduction of
wages. Put for all that Carnegie will
come back from Europe full of grewsome
stories about the pauper labor of free
trade England, for use in the next cam
paign.

JIM BOWIE AND HIS KNIFE.
How the Typical American Weapon was First
Made
Washington Sunday Herald.


Washington Sunday Herald
Col. James Bowie was a small man,
not weighing more than one hundred and
fifty pounds, FIVE feet seven and one-half
inches in height, but of wonderful physi-
cal strength, and as 1.-the and quick as a
panther. AT the time he was living with
his brother Stephen, in Louisiana, on a
plantation situated on the dividing line
between the parishes of Lafourche and
Assumption. Near them was a black
smith and worker in iron and steel of
great skill. He was of Spanish or Portu-
guese blood, and had been, according to
local rumor, one of Laftte's crew
of pirates. The pistols of
that day were not as accurate
or sure of fire as they are now. They
were fiintlocks, as percussion caps were
not in general use until about 1885,
Bowie had great faith in a knife. He
declared that it was the surest and most
faithful of all weapons in the hands of a
man who could rely on his nerves, but
that he had never seen weapon of that
sort which came up to his ideas of the
most effective pattern. One day he and
his brother Stephen was riding down the
road and one of the horses cast a
shoe. They stopped at the black
smiths mentioned to have it
replaced. While waiting Bowie
saw some fine workmanship on a sword,
or rather Spanish machete, and the
thought occurred to him to have a knife
made for defense and offense according
to his notion by this blacksmith There
was bundle of shingles near at hand,
and taking one, Bowie Whitfield out of
the soft thin pine a rough model in shape
of what he wanted. The blacksmith had
a long worn out file, which was used in
the heaviest iron work and out Of this he
made the knife which James Bowie used
in twenty-five bloody encounters and
finally died grasping in his hand at the
Alamo.
81 will describe it for you, for L have
frequently seen and handled it - con-
tinued Governor Wells. 1t was seven
teen and one-half inches in the blade,
two inches IN width, until within five
inches of the point, when it widened a
half inch, and then curving backward a
little, ran of suddenly TO point. In
weight it was just three pounds. The
handle was made of the lower part of the
horn of an elk sawed in two halves and
neatly riveted on to the shank ofthe blade,
the handle and blade being twenty-three
inches in length, with g handsome cross
piece where the two joined. The knife
was ground down and then put on an OIL
stone until it was so sharp that it would
shave the han off ones hand, SO adj
mirable was its temper. The sheath was
made of two pieces or thin pine wood,
neatly covered with alligator skin. 1t
could be used for both cut and thrust,
and it never failed when Jim Bowie got
a fair blow.

FARMERsvILLE, Ten, July Con
yesterday w. 7. Pryor, who lives about
one mile northeast of this town, found
on the bank of raFine on his farm the
the bones of what appears to be the skele-
tons of two men. He brought the bones
to town and they have been examined by
doctors and a number of people, and
there seems to be no doubt but that they
are the bones of one if not two men.
There can be no one found here who can
account for them.
