said, ended the strike. Vice President

road indicate that the strike is practi.
cally at an end. Passenger trains are
running on time between here and al.
bany this morning and the delay west
OF tuere is unimportant. The leaders Of
the strike are still defiant and talk mys
tesiously about an important move to be
made, which will allow them to retire
from the fight with flying colors upon
the basis Of compromise with the
railroad officials. Everything is yery
quiet. Whether this calm is merely q
lull before storm will be known in a
few hours.
STRIKERS HAVE ANOTHER CARD TO PLAY.
The strikers have been in secret ses.

Wa were on Friday night. The railroad
officials have been giving out false re-
ports to the newspapers IN order to dis.

The strikers still maintain that they
have another card to play. but are re,i-
cent to say just what tina: card is. 1t is
said that the press committee OF the
strikers is preparing report for publ.

The postoflice authorities said to-day
that all the incoming mails were ar.

very triiling. A!lth outgoing mails are
being dispatched on time.

A Picket-Fcnce Post.

AS cheap substitute for picket-fence
posts the following may be adopted
Take piece of hal dwood inch board
one foot In width, and of length to
correspond with the height of the
fence. Saw this board diagonally
from one corner to the other, and when
sawed turn the broad ends together,
thus making a base two feet wide.
Saw notches in these pieces near top
aud bottom to admit the parallel fence
ribs. To prevent the post from sink
ing into the ground, saw notch in the
bottom of it just large enough to set
over the board, say two feet long and
an inch wide. Set on edge and the
post substitute is done.- NeC York

two merits of truth and novelty. A

though abnormally green, was truth

the first complaints of the girl was that
she didn't find enough newspapers for
kindling purposes, the young couple
ordered two dailies from the nearest
stand.

Fully a week went by, and nothing

slip of paper.

She had been using the papers the
moment they arrived.
On another occasion the young mis-

having her own house-wifely objections
to "ready-boiled" articles of that kind,
and she placed it. during Maria's alb

Peddler versus Quaker.

A Yankee peddler travelling in Penn
sylvania met a Quaker going to mill
with bag of corn.
Il say, mister, what do you ak for
your corn? p inquired the Yankee
1T isn't for sale, friend" mildly re-
piled Broadbrim.
But I'm greatly in need of corn just
now, as my mare is nearly starved, and
nobody round here is willing to trade.
i thought you Quaker fellers was chock
full of the milk of human kindness.
Now, as I've been robbed back here a
piece of all my cash, don't know what
on airth I'm goin' to do when the mares
gin out"
We'll, friend" said the shrewd Qua
ker, IF thee has anything that l can
turn to the same account as my corn, L
will trade with thee at dollar a
bushel, bat not otherwise"
And pray what are you going to do
with ~"
Grind it, to be sure!' said Broad
brim, chuckling at the thought that
that was poser for the peodler.
Wall, I'll dew 1t on them terms, and
you may empty your corn in my feed
box at once, 4" said the Yankee.
And pray, friend, what am to have
in exchange for the two bushels of corn
that / can turn to the same account?"
"Oh, you can take your choice; I've
got jack-knives at twenty-five cents
apiece: raZors at the same price, axes
at dollar, and various other notions.
You'll find that they can all DO ground
TO great advantage. In short, you can
grind 'em as often as you please, and it
won't hurt EN- -
The Quaker was so tickled at the
Yankees wit that he let him have the
corn without any further parley.
