NEw loRK, June l0-The assertions

brought out the following statement from
President Miller, Of tho latter company,
at is important that the vital points OF

not whether we havc carried moro live
stock than any other company. Wcadmit
that we have. The executive board or.
dered Us, upon application OF the Alton
Company, TO reduce our carvings. Tho
Alton Company charge that We have dis.
regarded their order. Chairman Walker
says that we did not. We did not even
endeayor TO obtain delay by tho exercise
Of our right Of appeal. While We are in

as ordered by the executive board, the
Alton Company withdraws from tho Asso.

aud also that we have otherwise violated

that such charges cannot fairly be made q

He Lost His Job.

Klager, the famous actor, was en-
gagged to play the part of Gessler In
civilian Tell" at the Leipsic theatre.
Being q great favorite with the stu
dents, he sat boozing one afternoon
with several rich undergrads from
Courland. When the time for the
performance drew near, his boon com,
panions tried to persuade him from
going to the theatre, but as he re,
manned proof against their entreaties,
one of the gentlemen offered to stand
three hampers of champagne if Klager
was not back at the tavern by s
o'clock. To the establishment of the
company Klager preferred to pay for
the champage himself if he did not re-
turn by that time, says a foreign ex-
change.
AS he could not possibly have been
struck down by Tells arrow at the
hour stated, the jovial party wondered
how he would get over the difficulty,
and accompanied him to the theatre.
Here the action of the play went on
much as usual until the scene of the
apple. But when Tell said: "Am /
compelled to aim with my cross bow
at the head of my childf Rather will !
del" Gessler went up to him, shook
him by the hand and said: az really
cannot blame you, Tell, 1 wouldn't do
1t myself; let us be friends" OF
course the curtain was dropped.
Kager was back at the tavern by 6
o'clock and won his bet, but naturally
lost his engagement at the Leipsic the
atre.-New York Telegram.

The small boy was fond OF music
and there was an opera in town. 1t
was Sunday night, but he stole out
mother, and got away down in front
by the hddles, He sat there listening
delightedly, when he turned around
and suddenly discovered his father all
alone in the next occupied seat He
made no excuse. He looked up and
nodded pleasantly.
How do you do, sirf"
What Joseph"
YES, sir"
Does your mother know you are
hcrea"
mo, sir. She wouldn't let me
come"
"And aren't you-well-ahem"-
A sense Of justice struck the old
man, and the small boy knew he was
quito safe. So they enjoyed the opera
together, and her they started home.
There wa an awkward silence between
them. The small boy waited for his
father TO speak.
"Ahemi Joseph-we will not-it
would be better-that is-you needn't
allude to this matter before your mo-
Their"
mo, sir"
There was another long pause.
Again the old man spoke, hesita-
tingly:
"Aheml Joseph, how-how-did
you get out of the house this even
mgr
by the back door, sir"
"Well-ahem-Joseph, we'll go in by
the back way quietly, and not disturb
the household"
And they went in the back way.
Next morning at breakfast the two
met without any sign. Tho mother
spoke up:
"Mr. Smith, l am sure 1 do not
know whatever is TO come of that boy
Joseph"
What is the matter, my dear2"
DO you know he actually came and
asked me TO let him go TO the opera
last night-Sundayl"
you refused, of course9"
Certainly; what a question"
Then the father sternly turned TO
the boy.
Joseph, l am surprised. Arc there
not enough week days for you to go
to the opera that you must go on Sun
daysl"
you to give me some money TO go to-
night"
The old man looked at the small
boy, who was ingeniously looking up
in his face, and said nothing; but
when they left the table he took him
by the ear and said:
"You young rascal, l suppose you
are going to bleed me for tickets every
night1'
"Yes, sir" said the boy, candidly.
And he got them.-San Francisco

The sheep herder's life, to say the
least, is u hard one. He lives in a
tent the year round, and often for
weeks at n time entirely alone. The
sheep require constant attention to
keep them from straying and to pro-
tect them from the wolves and CO
votes. Out in the blazing sun allday,
with no friendly shade trees, and re
turning at night to his tent, he has to
do his own cooking and washing and
other work of the camp. AS the grass
is thin and scattering, the herd has to
DO kept constantly on the move. which
makes the additional labor of NOV
ing camp Mt least every ten days. The
herdcr is n stranger to even the COM
mon comforts and conveniences of
life, and is deprived of all the benefits
of society and friends. His bed is on
the ground. His blankets and cloth
ing become soiled and dirty.
Often water is very scarce and he is
thankful if he cal get enough to make
his tea. He is from forty TO ono hun
dred miles from any postotlice. He
has 40 knowledge of what is going on
in the world, and seldom keeps the
run of the day, week or month. He
must get his own breakfast and be out
by daylight, as that is the time the
flock are on the move. Often at night
he has to be out to prevent the herd
from being scattered by coyotes and
other enemies. When added to all
this are the fierce winds and fearful
cold of the Wyoming winter, when he
must pitch his tent upon the open
plains with no fuel but the scanty
roots of tho sage bush, surely his oc-
cupation is not a desirable one. If
asked what compensation there is for
all his hardshfps and privation, 1
should have to give it up.-Eorest and

1T is an ordinary occurrence for n
gentleman TO purchase an engagement
ring on tho first of the month and
about the last to return with his lady
love TO select the hoop of gold that is
to bind them together for life. In
some instances, and not n few, either,
the lovers come here together and buy
the engagement and wedding rings at
the same time. Some years ago such
n thing was never heard Of"
do we ever sell engagement rings
TO women2
'Of course We do. When the man
hasn't got the requisite cash and is at
all backward in making advances, the
lady is often c~onsiderate enough to
buy the ring herself, and to save him
any embarrassment she is thoughtful
enough to name the day without put
ting him TO the trouble of asking.
Strange, too, that women who do that
sort Of thing are generally old enough
to know tho valueo of money."-Jewcl

Eject of Imagination

That the imagination has much TO do
in governing our physical welfare can
not be denied. We see too many in
stances of 1t. The doctor who testified
on the witness stand a few days ago
that the profession frequently gave pa
TENTS dough pills, or some other sub
terfuge, and thereby relieved their
minds, told what was known by many
as the truth. People who imagine
they are sick must Be made to imagine

DR.. Lucien Howe, of Buffalo, read
a report from the committee appointed
two years previously to make investi-
cations in this line. They had found
That the number of blind was rapidly
increasing in proportion to population,
and more so the further south one
went, and especially in the states of
Nebraska, Arizona, Nevada and Da-
kota- Most of the existing blindness
was due 10 infectious diseases of the
cornea and conjunctiva. Emigration
was increasing the number of those
going about with infectious conditions
of the eye, such as trachoma, which
was common among the lower Irish.
They urged that the duty of cleaning
the eyes of children after birth should
be made more familiar to the public.
In asylums and schools, children hav-
ing such diseases should be quaran-
tined. A similar regulation should be
enforced in barracks and prisons

Perhaps a few particulars about Sir
Boyle Roche, the high priest of Irish
bulls" might be interesting TO your
readers. He was Of the ancient family
of the De La Russes, Of Fermoy, was
member for Tralee from 1775, and was
created a baronet In 1852. he began
one of his speeches In the Irish house OF
commons as follows: "Mr. Speaker, it
is the duty of every true lover of his
country TO give his last guinea to save
the remainder of his fortunes" And
another began: 'fSir, single misfor-
est OF all national calamities is gener-
ally followed by one much greater"
A letter of his is still preserved, sup
posed to have been written during tie
rebellion of '9S, though it is doubtful
II he ever put SO many ''bulls" to-
gether on paper. It is as follows:
DEAR SIR-Having now a little
peace and quiet, 1 sit down to inform
you Of the hustle and confusion we are
in from the bloodthirsty rebels, many
Of whom are now, thank God, killed
and dispersed We are in a pretty mess,
can get nothing to cal, and no wine to
drink except whisky. When we sit
down to dinner we are obliged to keep
both hands armed. While write this
l have my sword in one hand and my
pistol in the other. l concluded from
the beginning that this would be the
end, and 1 am right, for it is not half
over yet AT present there are such
goings on that everything is at a
standstill. 1 should have answered
your letter a fortnight ago, but 1 only
received it this morning. Indeed,
hardly a mail arrives safe without be-
ing robbed. No longer ago than yes
terday, the mail coach from Dublin
was robbed near this town; the bags
had been very judiciously left behind,
and by great good luck there was no.
body in the coach but two outside pas
sengers who had nothing for the
thieves to take. Last Thursday, an
alarm was given that a gang of rebels
in full retreat from Drogheda were ad-
vancing under the French standard;
but they had no colors nor any drums
except bagpipes. Immediately every
man in the place, including women
and children, ran out to meet them.
We soon found u force q great deal
too little, and were far too near to
every face, and to it we went. By the
bhuo nan Jul party WIS hliiSh, w 10
gan to be all alive. Fortunately the
rebels had no guns except pistols,
~cutlasses and pixies, and we had plenty
of muskets and ammunition. We put
them all to the sword, not a soul of
them escaped, except some hat were
drowned in an adjoining bog. In fact,
in a short time nothing was heard but
silence. Their uniforms were all diff
ferent, chiefly green. After the C
ton was over we went to rummage
their camp. All we found was a few
pixies without heads, a parcel of empty
bottles filed with water, and a bundle
of blank French commissions, filed
with Irish names Troops are o
stationed round, which exactly squares
with my ideas of security. Adieul l
have only time to add that I am yours
in great haste, B. r.

ried; therefore I beg you to write and

A lady was visiting a friend at
Americus lately and she wore a set of
false teeth. A little 5-year-old boy
saw her take the teeth from her
mouth, and ran terrified TO his mother,
exclaiming: Mamma, mamma, Miss
Mary pulled out n whole handful of
teeth at once, and tore all the skin out
of her mouth, and didn't cry one bit.
1t didn't hurt, but you'll have TO give
her all of old Specifies eggs to eat, for
she can't chew her victuals." He
couldn't be made to understand that
they were false teeth and was sure the
lady would starve TO death. -Savan-
