His bronz:d and wrinkled face, silvery beard and stooped shoulders bespoke years of {oil snd no little ex- posare. After gazlng steadily and with a sort of reverent ait at the Sherman house aear by, he remarked how changed things had become during the past forty years in this locallty. From the drlft of the conversation It appeared that the stranger was none other than Charley Porter, ono of tho plonoer telegraphars of this country, and who wes in early life a most esteemed and personal friend of the great Morss, the Inventor of the tel- egraph. The writer jolning In the con- versation, the veteran said, pointiog to the present office of the Sherman house, “That was the spot from which I sent the first dispatch ever put over a telegraph wirs fron this clty. We had just two wires up to New Rork and one to Port. Iand. The dlepatch was one of congrat- ulation from F. O, J. Smith to Morse himeelf, In New York. This was in 1847, and the feat was consldered quite a great thing by the people here. I had previ- ously worked with Professor Morse on the line between Bailtimore and Washing- ton, and, of course, kuew the old man very well. Since then I have watched the great progrees mado In telegraphy, | ! Rland In the construction of lines have worked in nearly every state and terrl- tory in the country.

Young mau, this is luck, you know, and juet what one may expect in the ups and downs of the world. The old man ac companled this latter remark with a quizzlcal expression of countenance, which deepened into a broad smile, which seemed to indicate that although he was not nowa leadlng holder of Western Unlon, he was etlll heslthy and happy. Porter is now nearly 60 years old, and eeems good for many yesrs to come. —e———— The Governor Ought to Sce Him, Arkansaw Traveler, Simon Gardner, a citizen of Bloszom Cove, recontly addressed an Important ltter to the governor. The followlng is an extract from the communication: ‘1 have thls day named a fine boy after you.

Ivs safa to say that two-thirds of all the women you see, who make any prefcasions to style, pen: cil their eyebrows in one way or another, Some merely burn & match and rub the charred portion over the sbort halr cf thele brows, Others ecorch a slate pen- ol fn the gas or lamp flame, and remove the smoke that gathers with a small brush—ususlly a ditcsrded tooth brash, to be frank about it.

After an hour's rest I was creeping alcng on hands and knees to- ward the nearest field fence when the above command reached my ears, and a “reb” stepped in vlew from behind a large fence. “*Yank, In course?’ he querled, as he looked me over, hclding his carbine ready for shot, I nodded in the affirmative. ““How sre you heeled?” I had a navy revolver in my belt, and showed it to him, Ho threw dono hls carblne, drow a navy from his cwa belt, and, coming qaite closs he sald: “‘Yank, one of us has got to dle!
