Edison as a n1onopo1,st.

1t is not generally known than Edison
is a mine owner and an iron smelt.r
,sut it is fact that no probably controls
more iron ere than any other one man.
There arr vast beds of magnetic iron ore
in New Jersey, but the process OF smelt-
ing magnetites was not profitable be-
cause of its difficulty. 1t struck Edison
one day that he could separate the iron
from the rock by means Of magnet
He preached his scheme to several large
iron shelters, and they laughed at him.
He kept trying, he said recently, for
several years to interest iron men in his
plan for the reduction Of magnetites,
but without success. Finally, he deter
mined to 60 into it himself.
He organized company among the
workmen in his laboratory. The COM
pany secured leases ON every magnetic
bed Of promise this side of Michigan
There are plenty Of iron men now who
are wildly anxious to go into the scheme
But Edison does not want them "They
can't get in now," he says @I've got all
the magnetic beds. I can make pig iron
lots cheaper than those fellows can, and
I'm going to wipe those Lehigh Valley
fellows off the face of the earth"

New Story of Logan.


Il. Bross, of Illinois, tells this story
of the late Gen. John a. Logan: 81
knew Logan first rate before the war
i had campaigned with him, stood by
him and helped him secure the official
preference with which he was hon
oreC. Some years before the war
had lived in Mississippi and left a
younger brother there when l moved
TO Cairo When the war broke out
my brother Joe, who was from Ger
many. as / am, enlisted in the Con-
teterate army. He had to do SO or
g,a brandeu as a coward. l lost track
OF him for some time, but one day on
going home to dinner i found note
Oh my table stating that Joe had
bavn captured at Vicksburg and was
then among lot of prisoners of war
nl. their way to Indianapolis, but
then on Il steamer lying at the
wharf in Cairo. OF course l hur-
i;sd down, introduced myself to
ti,a colonel in command and asked
permission to see my brother. Itwas
granted, and when Joe was presented
couldn't recognize him. His hair
was long and bushy, his beard was
two OF three weeks old, his clothes
were ragged, and he looked sadly in
need of a general cleaning up. l
asked permission of the Colonel to
take my brother uptown fit him out,
give him a dinner with my family,
and return him. The officer denied
this, but the Adjutant kindly inter
iered. said that he would accompany
lis, and that he was afraid Of no
treachery. We went, and in an hour
or so Joe was completely transformed.
He looked like a society prince.
When nc returned to the boat there
was with us wine, brandy, and cigars,
all in abundance, for Joe, the Colonel,
and the Adjutant. l hit them in the
rigilt spot, and had the pleasure of see
ing JOG quar1ered among the officers.
MY next move Was TO secure the
boys release. l secured the name OF
numerous army officers to the petit
ton, aid one day called Oh Gen. Lo-
gan, who happened in the city.
General l said to him. this
brother Of mine was young; he had
lived in Mississippi ever since he came
to this country: he was practically
forced to enlist in .he rebel army, is
now Il prisoner OF war, and l have a

On a Plantation.

"You can live very we'll on plan
tation. writes Octave Thanet, in the
Atlantic Monthly, eff, as the negroes
say, you understand YOURSELF" 1t
is evident, however, that in Arkansas,
as elsewhere, those who are them

ings with their dependents and
neighbors, too many of whom are
given to "a patient endurance of
avoidable evils" "As an illustration
of plantation methods and Arkansas
character" says the writer, I'VE al
ways remember our cow-shed."
The plantation carpenter being too
busy with houses to condescend to
cow-sheds, we appealed to Thomas
Jefferson Pope, who is indifferently
carpenter, blacksmith, wood-sawyer,
butcher, or tinker, and between

son is amiability itself; he said he
would build a shed for us "jest too

There We're more rebel women spies
than men, and they were the shrewd-
est, the most Jealous, and the NEST
INSCRIPTIONS. Some of these under
went all sorts of experiences in their
efforts to help the Southern cause.
The women of the border. where
few indeed We're the neighborhoods
over which murder and rapine did
not mold sway, were, perhaps, the
most demoralized. There was Annie
Tickle OF Lafayette, a fair young
rebel girl, who made Quantrill's black
silk flag from the skirt of her dress,
and supplied the guerrillas with SO
much powder, shot and caps that
Quantrill ought to have made her
chief OF ordnance. 1t was Anna and
woman old enough to be her grand,
mother who comprised the murder OF
two Union soldiers in order to effect
the release of Andy Blunt, guerrilla
prisoner. who was permitted to visit
the grandmother's house. Blunt es-
caped for the time, but a few days
later the Saline County militia came
upon him and beat out his brains
with tobacco sticks. Miss Tickle was
sent to Alton prison.
In 1864 nearly every Federal mill
tary prison in the State had Confed-
crate women inmates. They had
been arrested for feeding guerrillas,
giving them information and assist
ance, spying upon Union troops,
writing letters, smuggling ammuni-
ton. and even arms, and for other
kinds oil mischief which certain rebel
ladies delighted to perpetrate. Some
OF these were girls of Is and IS, others
we're women of 40 and SO. The ma
jority of these ladies were released
after short imprisonments, but many
were held to the close of the war or
banished from the State. Mrs.
Samucls, the mother of the James
boys, was sent to Nebraska.
In the latter part of the war so bad
had things become that at least four
score girls and women in Western
and Southwestern Missouri became
gucrrillas purely and simply, and they
were not so very pure or so very SIM
pie, either. There was Puss Michaels,
a Cass County girl, who was mortally
wounded in fight between a squad
of Missouri guerrillas and some Kan
sas men on the Marais DIES Cygnes in
the fall of 1869, after the Lawrence
raid and massacre. She carried two
Eevolyers, was dressed partly in male
attire, and died with her boots on.
There were twenty or more girls
and women with Quantrill and Bill
Anderson at the slaughter OF Gen
eHal Dlunt's escort-sixty-tive men
at Baxter Springs, the week after
Puss Michaels was killed.

Wolves Returning to Maine.

There is no longer any doubt about
the return to Maine of wolves. Once
they were very numerous In the eastern
and northern sections and departed when
deer became scarce. Wolves feed large
ly upon deer, and now that the latter
animals have again become plentiful in
Maine, the bowling, ravenous packs
have recrossed the border from the wilds
of Canada, whore they retired more than
thirty years ago in quest Of better liv-
ing. Washington and Aroostook Coun-
ties are reported to be full of wolves
big gray fellows of the deer-killing sort
and the people of those sections are
greatly agitated. The wolves are par
ticularly numerous around Big Lake,
Washington County, where loggers have
seen their tracks all winter.
