Work Did 1t.

1t is not necessary that a boy who
learns q trade should follow it all his
life. Senator Palmer, of Illinois, was
a country blacksmith once. President
Lincoln was raised on farm and split
rails. President Johnson was a tailor
in Tennessee. President Garfield drove
mules on o canal. Jay Gould was O
surveyors assistant. John d. Rookie
Teller was bookkeeper. Erastus Corn
ing, too lame to do hard labor, COM
menced as a shopboy in Albany. When
he applied for employment first he was
asked, "Well, my little boy, what can
you do?" "Can do what / am bid, !"
was the answer. That secured him a
place.
Ex-Governor Stone, of Iowa, was a
cabinet maker, at which trade the late
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas also worked
in his youth Large numbers of promi-
nent men now living have risen from
humble life by dint of industry, without
which talent is as useless as a gold coin
on barren island. Work alone makes
men bright, and it does not depend on
the kind of work you have to do
whether you rise or not. It depends
on ehow you do it.-New York Re

Billions Of Matches,

Europe, continental and insular,
consumes 1000, 100000 matches daily.
Assuming that each several act of igni-
ton occupies the brief period of one
secondhand we have reason to believe
it is rarely performed in a shorter Pc
riod-it will be obvious to every ready
reckoner that 555, 900 hours of each
successive day are spent by the inhab-
itants of Europe in striking matches.
There is food for much speculation in
the fact that Europeans dispose of
nearly sixty-four years per day in scrap
ing tiny sticks tipped with some infam-
mable composition. 1t is also interest
ing to learn that 400, 600 cubic yards of
timber and 400, 900 pounds weight of
PHOSPHORUS are in annual request for
the manufacture Of the 73O, OO0, OO0, 900
matches used by Europe in a year

WICHITA JAIL, April 5, 1881.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
SIR-From the columns of your val

have learned that the old Mosaical law Is
in force in Oklahoma City. In the olden
time they killed a man first and divided
his property afterwards. Oklahoma, the
land Of the beautiful Ye gods! In the
nineteenth century, on the day OF my SEN
tence to death, they divided my homestead;
parceled it out among strangers, awaiting
patiently the end Of my existence on TINS
earth. My days are numbered. Short
time have I to live in. Hopes few remain
ing. My last moments should be in peace.
Columns after columns are daily pub
lshed ia the Oklahoma papers about VINO
should have this lot and that. / done this,
and I gave this, and l swore the hardest.
There IL a grand picture, panoramic
view of the memorable ed Of April, 1889.
when thousands rushed from the lines to
find all corner lots, valuable claims taken.
NY poor wife returned home from Wich-
tia. Our homestead was covered with
shacks and tents Our fences were cut
and our property destroyed. Our house

ers. My homestead can be taken by force

save my life. am right to die in that be-

tions for liberty and pelf. Respectfully,

ABOUT A BOX o. FLOWERS.

This is the season, these hours, when
thoughts of young men lightly turn TO
love, and what path was ever so direct to
a woman's heart as the one strewn with
flowers In speaking Of the vixen wife OF
John Wesley An archbishop of Rome once
declared that there was no good IN woman
that the sex were all bad. The trouble
with that archbishop was that he never
had lover, wife or daughter. He had
been listening, for the best part of his Ife'
to only the misdeeds and crimes of women
through the confessional. Bad beings
cannot delight in music, birds and flowers.
And where is the woman that does not
love flowers, be she young or old! The
love of innocency is indicative OF the heart
of the lover, and the lover who remembers
his love with flowers has warm place IN
her heart. The more beautiful the flowers
the warmer the impression. The place to
get them is at W. II. CUP & Co.'S, Gil
Wabash avenue, from whose green house
there came to us yesterday morning box
of the richest, daintieet. most delicate
creamy roses and other flowers that ever
ladened the air OF = sanctum with frag

BIT THEIR TAILS OFF,

A queer pig arrived at the stockyarks
Yesterday, and being both sanguinary and
mischievous caused much amusement.
He seemed to have had hobby, if pigs
can be said to possess such. At least he
had an insane, an uncomfortable desire TO
bite off other pigs tails. He was put in
pen with about fifty ether young porkers
and soon showed his dispersion and the
character of his crotchet by nipping Off
another pigs tail. This caused commo-
ton of course. As soon as 1t Quoted
down, he again made an onslaught with
the fall of another tail. He repeated the
operation eight or ten times and was still
at it. much TO the delight of the spectators
when the stock reporter left the yards.
The pig doing the biting was not vicious,
but just seemed TO enjoy good joke.
