He Turned the Farmers Wrath.

A young newspaper man who last
spring found himself in Whiteman
county, Washington, 500 miles from
his base of supplies and ''broke," hired
out to farmer. He was set to plow-
ing with pair of horses, but both
man and beasts being new to the busi-
ness, the furruws looked as if they
were the result of an earthquake rather
than of design, so crooked and zigzag
were they, At the close of the day the
farmer rather testify criticised the job.
The newspaper man felt that his doom
was sealed, but mustered courage to
reply: Il know the rows are rather
crooked, but the sun was extremely
hot to-day, and it warped them" The
answer turned away the farmers
wrath. and, instead of being discharged
the newcomer was given a much
easier and pleasanter job, and is now
the farmers son-in-law.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Mch. IS.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Mich, 13. 1881.
Mr.. Harrison was fortunate in being out of
town this week. He escaped the first exuberance
of the Blaine howlers. who have gone completely
wild. because the alleged reciprocity treaty has
been formally accepted by the Brazilian govern
ment. instead of being rejected as had been ru-
mored, and because the British government has
agreed to submit the Behring's Sea dispute to ar
bitration, reserying the right to insist upon the
payment of damages by this government for what
it calls the illegal seizure of vessels sailing under
the British flag. Before crowning Mr.. Blaine
king of the world of diplomacy the Blainiacs
should procure copy of the dispatch of Lord
Salisbury. sent to the British Minister here last
Summer. which was part of the correspondence
submitted to Congress at the last session. They
will find that the proposition then made by Great
Britain to arbitrate was. with the exception that
it included the Canadian fisheries dispute. sub
stantiaiiy the same as that now accepted by Lord
Salisbury. If there has been any diplom attic vic
tory won in these negotiations Mr.. Blaine was not
Its winner.
Notwithstanding the statement that Mr.. Har-
rison had concluded not to make the appoint
ments of the nine United States Judges until Con-
