While looking through a pile Of old
papers the Exeter correspondent came
across the following article in a New
York paper Of the date OF February 6,
1859, under the caption of ''The Smelt
Railroad" ;" says the Manchester Union.
1T is well known that the Portsmouth
railroad has to turn everything to ac-
count to pay running expenses, and
many are the jokes they perpetrate
upon the conductors in reference to
their shifts to get a living. It is said
that one of them last year was accus-
toned to bring fish from Portsmouth
and peddle them out on the way to Con-
cord.
"One day he brought along smelts,
dealing out to customers at every sta
tion, till he got to suncook, where he
blew his horn and an old woman came
out and wanted six, Just pattern-all
I've got left. you're in the nick OF time, ,
said he, and he began to count them
and found only FIVE. 'How's this? I
should have six and he began to count
his fingers, and reckon over how he had
disposed Of the four dozen he had start
ed with. After awhile. I have it; hold
on q little while and I'll be back, said
he; and he ran the train back seven
miles to q place where he had let
woman have one more than she had
paid for, got It, came back to suncook
and let the old woman have the six she
wanted. and then the 'smelt' train went

Another element was introduced in
to the political campaign in Iowa last
week, which may serve to enliven. po-
litical matters to some slight extent in
a campaign that is confessedly very
dull. This came in the form of a
communication addressed to the candi-
dates, state and legislative, asking
that the candidates place themselves
on record in the matter Of their posi-
ton toward labor unions and the or
ganization of labor in the state and
nation, also in regard to shorter work
hours and some other matters. The
communication came from MARSHALL
town, from committee of the trades
and labor assembly of that city. The
communication has been received by
number of those who are candidates
on the state ticket, and political lines
are not considered. The communica-
ton has been referred, in some in
stances, to the state campaign com
mittees for advice. The candidates
are slow to take action and some of
them will ignore the entire matter.
