KEILEY AND HIS SPADES.


On Saturday last, as the Wayfarer
was standing in front of the b. a ..
railroad station, he Witnessed rather
unusual sight.
One day last week j. ID. Kelley, bet
ter known ais 'Whekers," proprietor
OF The Logan House, received a oox
from the "ould country" The pack
age was a little over six feet in length,
more than a fott in depth, and had
something of tire appearance Of cas-
ket When the cxpressman landed ii
at the door of the hosiery Mr.. Kelley
was at a Joss to know what it contain
ed. Upon looking at the box his first
exclamation was "Be dad, and it's The
remains or some Of me relatives IN
Ireland that they've shipped here TO be
buried at me own expense"
after opening the box, however he
soon found his mistake, for he took
out two Irish spades, and several roots
Of genuine English ivy that had been
sent him by some relatives in Cork. Ac-
campanylng the box was a note read
ing. I'm part, as follows: Dear Whisk':
Enclosed ind some British ivy roots
and two sphades from dear old Ire
land, the kind we ushed to he cuttin
sod wild before We went to Amailoa and
got 10 be a congressman. Plant the ivy
round the walls of yes castle and uae
the sphades to do it wild. Dig the holes
deep, fur We knows the British is hare
to down. Give me love to Mike Kinley
the president, when We sees HIM Your
Grind, Tim"
In accordance with the above request
lI1st Keley, taking advantage OF the
warm weather OF Saturday was en-.
gagged ia planting the roots against th'
abutments OF the b. & o. bridge ad
16ihlhg his hotel when the Wayiarei
observed him. The spades are OF AZ
uncommon build to this country, an'
are the only ones Or the kind IN tnn
city. The handles are made OF hickory
about four and a half feet in lengya
and the blade, measuring eighteen
inchgs, is OF steel four inches WIDE
Upon The right side Of the handle
about three inches above the blade, Il
a wooden foot-rest eleven and a hal
inches thick by three long, which
FORMS part of the handle itself. rh
peculiar part OF this rest is that
though upon the right side it require
the use of the left foot TO operate tn
spade successfully, as if the right to-
is used the person using the instru
ment will invariably be thrown upO
his back by its being pushed from hin
From the way Mr.. Kelley handle
the tool he had evidently been Their
before" as he made the earth fly in a
directions After getting the root
buried to his satisfaction he remarked
There, be jabersl Yez are down no'

The Wooddale quarres, situated

neighborhood one day last week. and
learning it was pay day, concluded 70

these men received and the manner IN
which they lived. He learned that the
Italians receive s110 per day OF ten
hours, laborlng from In the
morning until o'clock at night dur
ing the Summer months. The Italian
settlement is composed Of half dozen
or so houses, which shelter the entirs
force and their families. Their food
supplies are principally obtained at a
store recently erected by c. T. Wolhar,
Of McDowelyille,who conducts business
with the men through the company
Their bills are all payable monthly,
and at the end Of each month sJatt-
ment Of every mans dealing at the
store is sent to Patrick Cherry, super
intendent Of the quarries, who deducts
from each mans payroll the amount
expended 10y him during the month and
hands it over 10 the proprietor OF the
store, giving the balance to the men.
By this means the Italian is enabled 20
get credit throughout the month and
the etorekeeper is sure Of his pay.
The largest amount due the store
from any one man the pass~month was
81, and this was a high figure, as but
few accounts ever reach that sum, the
average daily expenses per family be-
