turing 200 miles of wire netting per day for use
as fencing against the incursIons OF Australian

1T Is NOT OFTEN that person will apply for
admission into an insane asylum on the ground
that he is crazy But that is what Nebraska
man did the other day. To his intense disgust
he failed, however in convincing the county
poormaster of his insanity, and he remarked as
he left the office: Before the end ofthe week
I'll convince you that I'm wild as hawk. I'll
| take off my clothes, run the town, make
speeches from the court house steps and
other freaks of a like nature that I'll undertake
will insure my bed and board until next
spring"
In THE MATTER of meredistance covered, the
records of the world Is famous travellers do not
make much of a show beside those of some rail-
| road men. An old railroad man named Layton,
now a sleeping car superintendent at Indian
apolis has kept a record of his journeyings
since 1863 and the total is 2, 333, 246 miles Con
ductor $. g. Boone late of the Reading has COW
cred 2, $4,000 miles and another Reading con
tor has ridden something over / ,507, 800 miles.
Even these figures would probably bs far sur
passed by tbs records of some of the old cap
tains of the ocean steamships.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC FISHERMAN in Connecticut
enjoys the sport without sacrificing any of his
home comforts His resid ence is on the Will
limantic river, From a back window he has
struRg a wire across 60 the top of q tree just
over very good fishing hole" he has blocked
the wire, and with a carrier and a reel he slides
his baited hook sinker and line down the
wire 10 the blOck. The contact releases the
reel, and as it unwindS the bated hook
drops into the water, and fishing be-
gins. Sitting at home he can feel the
nibbles and bites. and a quick motion
secures his prey and pulls 1t along the wire to
the house.
THE old-time Republican politicians of Massa-
chusetts, says the New York World, are in q
call the check of Speaker w. E. Barrett OF
| the Massachusetts House of Representatives
| who is a candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for governor Barrett is of the younger
| school of politicians, and while not richly en-
| dowed with intellectual qualities has Unborn
| political shrewdness and appalling self confi-
| dence. Through these he has managed to get
control OF the active political forces of his own
party in the state, and the old stiff back re-
| publicans view with horror and alarm
the probability that he will secure the
, gubernatorial nomination which he is
seeking. 1t will be hard fight this
| fall and the nomination of Barrett
| would seriously handicap the party Under
| these circumstances Henry Cabot Lodge was
inf n n iOHra inf 80 NJ
| Lodge explained the situation, saying that as
| Barrett was young man he could afford to
wait the matter Of the governorshtp, and in
| the meantime they would see that he was not
| RELOCATED to the background This did not make
| much impression on Speaker Barrett, and final
| ~ Mr. Lodge made direct proposition to him.
''If you viii withdraw your name as a candidate
for governor, said he to Barrett, I'VE will send
you to congress at the next election" blouse
| or Senator inquired the undisturbed Barrett.
| II referred to the House" replied Mr.. Lodge
for the first time realizing the full scope of Bar
rett's ambition. 20, no." replied the latter.
None of your low-down congressman for me
| If conclude to go to Washington in '93 | think
| the United States Senate is about my size - As
| Mr.. Lodge is one of the 'low-down congress-
men" himself, and also a candidate for the
United States Senate, he concluded AFTER this
declaration that it was no use to appeal further
TO Speaker Barretts modesty.
JOHN W. DANIEL of Virginia, who aspires TO
|! a second term in the Senate, and whose pros
| DR.. Eustis OF Louisiana has retired, the most
| nota ole orator on the democratic side of the
chamber. lie is slightly lame and walks with a
crutch, as result Of wound received in bat
tie, but he is a man of good proportions, and
his face is intellectual and striking Some
people see in his face something which reminds
them of Edwin Booth. The resemblance,
whatever 1t is, is not strong and entirely fades
away upon short acquaintance. Mai Daniel
| is an orator of the old school His Language Is
affluent. his gestures are carefully studied and
\ he modulates his voice according to the &C
| cepted rules OF elocuton. 1t is easy to
ne mas b 6sen and SSie student Of
l and seeks to produce the best effects of the
4 oldest heroes In this he differs from Mr.
1 Ingalls,, whose manner is less excited and
whose matter is more compact. The STYLE of
| Mr.. Ingalls, suggests the pulpit rather than the
| court room or the stump, although his raking
1 sarcasm lacks good deal OF the clerical cut
Mai Daniel also differs from hr. Eustis, mas
1 much the Louisiana orator, albeit with q
rich vocabulary and many graces OF delivery
is slow, almost lazy in his utterances. Mr. Eustis
| is large man, secs things clearly and makes a
| capital speech, but likes to take bis time about
| it. He talks so well and so UNANIMOUSLY, how
| ever, that he is always assured OF an audience.
| These three men while in the Senate together
were close students of one another. II Mr..
| ingalls, was advertised for speech he
| was sure to see before him both Mr.. Eustis and
| Maj. Daniel They would probably not be In
| agreement with him on single proposition,
| but they would hear him through with manifest
| interest and pleasure. In turn Mr.. EuStis had
J Mr. Ingalls, and Maj. Daniel for auditors, and
| Maj. Daniel had Mr.. Ingalls, AMI Mr.. Eustis. 1t
was not mutual admiration society, but the
interest grew naturally out of the respect
each man felt for the other who like himself
aspired to instruct and induce others by the
power of public speech. Maj. Daniel alone re-
mains to the Senate. Mr.. Eustis has been sinner
seeded by a New Orleans judge and Mr.. Ingalls,
by one of the prosiest and least ornamental Of
men. This fact ought to inure to Maj. Daniels
