Stone said that yesterdays conference be-

The company, he said. would not recede in
the slightest degree from its present position.
Not one man of the new engineers, firemen.
switchmen or brakemen would be discharged
to make way for strikes. The company had no
il-win against the striking men, and desired in
no way TO persecute them, but justice must be
done to the new men.

believing that it is a complete resume Of the

A Very Fertile CountrE.

A few years since there resided at
Newton, Kan, a genial German, by the
name Of Schmidt, who was general
land agent for the Atchison Topeka and
Sante Fe railroad. A large party of
capitalists from New York and the old
country came to Kansas with a view OF
making heavy investments.
Schmidt was called upon to show
these men around, and right royalty
did he do it.
Taking them out in the prairies far
from the railroad, Schmidt would In
glowing manner, describe the natural
advantages of the climate, soil, etc.
AS one after another would find some
fault, and think this or that could not
be raised there, he would walk few
miles further and show them just the
soil needed for that kind of grain or
fruit. At last one of the gentlemen
spoke up:
"Mr. Schmidt, I find after going
around with you, there is nothing that
you cannot raise in Kansas"
To this, Schmidt quietly replied: "I
forgot to tell you, gentlemen, that you
cannot raise pumpkins in Kansas"
"Why is that 2" they all, with one
voice, inquired.
well, you see, this land is so very
rich, and the vines grow so rapidly
that they wear the pumpkins all out
dragging them along the ground"
If any one doubts this, the land IS
still to be seen.

The manuscript page of one of the
Waverly novels is OfquartO size, evenly
written in a free and open hand, with
out a dotted q" or a crossed ct" A
short dash alone indicates the place
for punctuation mark, but the mark
itself is left for the printer to insert.
The writing is so uniform as to sug-
gest that it might almost have been
projected against the paper by a single
effort rather than penned line by line.
Indeed, the handwriting was so regular
that Scott could from the amount of
copy calculate to page the length of
a volume; this he has done on the mar
gin Of a proofs sheet of "PeveriI of the
Peak" Each of these pages of copy
contained about 800 words At the
time of the composition of "Ivanhoe"
three such pages, equal to fifteen or
sixteen of the original impression, we're
considered a days work, although later
he often exceeded that number. He
records the result of one days work at
six manuscript pages, or about twenty
four pages of print; another day he
wrote copy enough for thirty pages of
print; and one day Of hard work on
'The Fair Maid of Perth" supplied the
printer with manuscript for forty pages
of print. Occas. onally the bottom of

ton of forged additions certainly an

Aphorisns from the Study.

Some one should preach a sermon
on the bad taste of pursuing good taste
too exclusively.
The philosophers trouble is that
while he can give fifty years to evaI-
uating life impartially, life has spent
several thousand years in shaping his
prejudices.
In moments of decision there is dan
ger of installing the exhaustion of
long spiritual struggle for resignation
to fate
We talk of Immortality, but we even
do not know what time Is. PEI Ups
time has possibilities that dwarf m
mortality, and we are fOoIing ourselves
with the poorer choice. Let US have
the very best.
If heaven should grant one more gift
to this country, the mistake would not
be great were it a more sacred Observ-
ance of parentage.
Faith, like any virtue, must have its
test, and probably the reason for mex
pIicabIe evil.

An Old Warrior On Marriage.

Walking along Lake Shore with an
old soldier who had married thrice,
and for money every time, I had some
new and valuable light shed upon the
question, "Is Marriage a Failure ?"
The warrior takes an easy view Of life.
Ee is inclined to think that women are
not as bad IS they are painted, but
that they require strong handling.
The marriage laws are much too easy
on women. Now, look heFel I'm q

had s., 600 a year Of her own, and no
social position, as her first husband
was a saIoOnkeeper. I got her into
refined and fashionable society. How
did she repay me, think you? Well,
she insisted upon spending all her own
coin upon herself, and then demanded
half Of my little income. Wasn't that
pretty cheeky? She paid me. nothing
for my social position. She got every

matters than when she was maiden
fair. Everything settled upon herself.
I paid for the wedding breakfast. She
had large income and she never gave
me a cigar. She went to heaven and
left her money to a sister. The sister
would marry me, but [ got nice little
woman with four children, who had
buried three husbands and was as
merry as a butterfly. She is alive
now and is the hardest nut of all. She
doesn't take half my mOney-she takes
the whole Of it, pays my bills, and al
lows me so cents a day for spending
money. No, sir; marriage was no fail

good fortune to marry me. Chicago
