One was large, and falr, and ruddy. Ho was dressed in o light grey suit, and a tall white tile surmonated a pair of smoothly- shaven, heavy jaws, and conlealed a big, round head that was neatly bald. This man was nearly 50 yoars of age, and was as plump as & baby, Tho other was broad-shouldered, murcular and dark. He had a brllliant pair of dark brown eyes and an oval face that was ornamented by 8 heavy black moustache and goateo Long ringlots of curly black halr escaped under the crown of his broad-brimmed white felt hat, and fell on his shoulders, that looked able to bear any load that might be placed on them. The former was blinking his merry eyes and telling how he had succeeded in worating the Wesjern Unlon Telegraph Qompany ina late legal battle, and the the road by Maeigs is one of the mott re markable feats of engineering known, 1t is estimated that the construction ocoet Pera 7000 lives from pestilence and acei- dent, Land-slides, falling bowlders, pre- mataro explosions, sarrache-—a dlsoase which attacks those who are not acons- tomed to the raw alr of the high aliitades ——fovers caused by deposits of rotten granlte and other causes, rernlted In a frightfal mortality during the soveral years the road was under construction, but the projsct was pushed on until the fands gave out, At several polats it was necassary to lower men by ropes over the edges of the preciplces to drill holes in the rocks and put In charges of blasting powder, during which operation msoy wers dashed to pleces. A curious acci dent occarred at one print on the line whera a plumber was soldering a leak In & water plpa. A train of mules laden with cans of powder was beiog driven up the road. One of the animals rubbed against the plumber who struck it with his red- hot soldering Iron. The Iron In some way came in contact with the powder and caused an explosion which blew the whole train of mules, the gang of men, the plumber and everybody who was near by latter was congratulating himself on hav- ing eecured the services of Sitting Bull, the famous Indian chief. Ons was Colo- nel Robert G. Ingersoll, and the other was the equally celebrated Colonel Will- iam F. Cody, bstter known as “‘Buffffalo BiL” ‘1 have just ratarned from the west,” sald the scoat, ‘‘and find my friends in tho enst greatly stirred up over reports and rumors of an Iadian war with the Cheyennes. They think that because Gen. Sheridan has gone to the Indlan torritory there must bo trouble browing. There might be a war If the Indlans were more numerous, for they have been out: rageonsly abused by the whites, but they know better than to engage in a fruitless strifo that will end in defeat. Thelr reservations have been invaded by the whites and they are making a protest,just the way a Boston man would doif I should go and take possession of his store, 1f justloo prevails the white eet- tlers will be driven oat, but they always find some excuse for their conduct and will, no doubt, get out of it allright this time as they have many times before. The entire fighting forca of tne Chey- ennes is about 1200 bucks. They can do nothing against the United States and they probably know 1t; so I thivk there will be no war. ““Without taking any credit to myaelf,’ resumed he, ““I think the vislt of Sittiog Bull to the east will do much toward teaching the Indtans that fighting is a hopelesa tagk, He s abiolute lord over about 4,000 of the bravest Indians liviog.

When he found the straggle was hopeless he laid down his arms. He is the only Indian who was never conquered.” —— ROMANCE Of THE TELEPHO A Young Lady Operator Jilts Her Unseen Lover After Accepting Him, A Now Haven correspondent of the New York Herald writes: ‘A romance of the telephone, ehowing how a youn lady operator triflad with and finally jilc- ed a susceptible youth who paesionately wooed her over the wires, has just trans- pired In Connecticat. The principals of the sfialr are a young man, an operator in Litchfield coanty, anda young lady operator in New Haven. As early aslast winter the romance began, and when the operators were not busy the youug man acquired the babit of asking the New Haven operator about the weather, local news, and other gos- ip, glving in _return anything that he thought would interest the young wo- man whom, by the way, he bad never seen and presamably knew nothiugabout. He gave the name of ‘*Cleude Melnotts’ while she slgned herself ‘‘Agate Hol- brook,” and the Litchfield youth entered at once upen the delightful occupation of telephone ‘‘mashing.” Finally the young man from the country began to ask after the color of the New Haven operator's hsir and eyes, figure, weight, o, She inturn professed carlosity ss to the slze, color, &o., of his mustache, and quite an_Intoresting correspondence by wire had bogun. At length young Melnotte became to infatusted that he one day told the young lady that ho loved her deeply and wanted her to bzcomo his wife, He sald: —*‘I am not on my knee:, but would be if T were with you, Please don’t ecream or blush, but give me the answer that will make me the happiest of men— yes.” The New Haven operator had a hearty laugh, and finally, in a spirit of fun, answered that she accepted, and that be must ask her mother. Then the young man day after day burdened the wires with the most ardent messages of lova and affection to the ex- tent that the New Haven operator got sick of the affulr and substituted snother girl In her place. Bat he saw throueh the deception and wouldn't have it, He sald by wire that he was coming to New Haven to claim his promleed bride, and eure enough he did appesr at the office, asking for Agate Holbrook. Among all the good looking lady op- erators thero was none, however, that would answer to the name. He haunted the place for a week and endeavored to find out who the young lady was who had attracted hlm to the City of Elms, but ia vain, He has resigned his place in Litehfield county, and report says that he has taken to drinking lager and play- ing polloy. e — That nothing succeeds like success has passed Into overb, The success of St. Jacobs Ol arlsea from the fact that mil!- fons of people have found it the con- queror of pain, ————— A WONDERKUL RAILROAD, Which Philadelphia Mechanics Will Help to Construct, Philadelphia Record, Michael Grace, a genileman well known in marloe ciroles and a brother of Mayor Grace, of New York, has baen for several days past in this clty on the lookoat for railway material for the new rallr ad run ning from Lima, Peru, to the top of the Audes, which was partly built by Henry Melgs. the California fugltive, and which has lately come into the possession of the Gracos on condition that they will finish ft.

Jefferson, like his compatriote, was burled i his family burying ground, at his home in Mon- ticello.

A few weeks ago the boy's™ father re- ceived communication from the police of Rotterdam stating that his son had been found with a elrcus tronpe. Mr, McOune telegraphed to have his son sent on to him at once, Oa Saturday the kidnaped boy landed at Oastls Garden on the steamship Brittante, Ho was sent toa boarding house, and will start for his home {u Cleveland to-day. Thomas is a bright, wiry looking littie fellow. Although 17 years of age, he doea not ssem to be more than 12, He stated that when he was abducted his captors took hlm east and croesed the ocean to Holland, The lad was taught acrobatic feats and slelght-of-hand tricks by his principal abductor, who proved to be a circus man. Thomas had some tal- ent and he soon became proficlent. Hls captor jolmed a clrocus and Thomas was obliged to perform In the ring. He did well at the first performance, and the ap- plauss of the spectators pleased him. The troupe began a tour of the Datch provinces, Thomas’ master took good care of him when he performed well, but when he did poorly he recelved bad food, and very little of that. Sometimes he was beaten. The lad was obliged to pat up with whatever his abductor saw fit to bestow upon him, ~ He often thonght of his home, bat he had _little hope of ever reaching It again, For seven years he continued the slave of the man who had atolen him, He becams proficlent ln his feats, but the best reward he counld hope for was a new set of tights anda hearty meal of coarse food. Tho troups con- tinued on ita travels,and Thomas learned the Datch langusge. Several times ho attempted to escape, but eash time ho falled to secure his iiberty. The boy had almos! forgotten about his parents and his old home in Cleveland, when one day, several weeks ago, when ¥ | the troupe were In Rotterdam, Thomas was ;told Lo go Into the ring. He had been somswhat careless of late, and this time his captor warned him thatif he did not go through his performances well he would be thrashed soundly. Tho lad re- p'ied with a eallen nod, and went into the ring, He soon made a bad error, andhis oaptor rushed at him in the presencs of the audiencs and dealt him a crael blow. A number of the spectators cried out sgainst this croelty, and an uproar fol Liwed. Two policemen entered the ring ond arrosted the abductor. Tho 1ud told his story, and megt.oned how he had basn abdacted from his home In America. The police communicated with Mr McCue.
