“ Hath " in the New York Tri’mm’: The
evAt‘onfederato Gcneral Gordon told me an
iiuvrcsting story about two interviews ho
held with General Bar w. At Sharpsburg
Barlow was apparently mortally wounded
and fell into Gordon‘s hands. Gordon took
a liking to him and asked if he could not do
uomcthing for him.
“ I think not. General." said the young
man. “ I shall be buried here. no doubt.“
But you can do
one thing for me. Here is a package of
letters from my wife. which I wish you to
destroy befora'hy eyes."
Gmdon. who waa then a young man also.
took the letters and was about to destroy
them when Barlow, with a bubble at his
throat. murmured: “ Would you take the
trouble to read me one of them first P Any
we will do."
Gordon opened one of the letters and
read it to the dying man—his last. friendly
word, perhaps. from home. Then the lct~
tars were destroyed. But. the incident
touched Gordon 00 that he made a special
exertion to have Barlow aunt through the
lines a to have his wife admitted to him.
This being done, the two armies fell apart.
and these men saw each other no more
Gordon considered Barlow to be dead.
Barlow had also seen that. a General Gordon
had been killed somewhere. They met
again at a friendly table in Washington. but
did not know each other. through the

It is a very common thing for large corpor-
ations to build their own lines between their
ofllcec and factories. They use these lines
exclusively for their own business. Hut by
far the greatest number of what are called
private wires are really owned by the 'tho
graph companies and are leased by special
contract. _
The longest private wire in use In from
New York to Chicago. In the contracts are
stringent provisions that the wire shall be
used only for the private businm of the
contracting party. under penalty of term-
inating the contract. Certain periods of
the day or night are fixed during which
alone the wire may be used. Operators
are furnished by the telegraph company.

road Company leaac a number of private
wires. In all caaea the operators of the
private linen leased from the companies are
under the control of the latter. although
paid by the lessees.
Most of the private lines.-outside of the
press lines. are hired by bankers and brokers.
who require them only a few hours a day.
At other hours the line becomes a public
wire or is leased to other private persona.
Some of the large nevnipapera in the West
have the use of private wirca fora few houn

It is impossible to give with accuracy the

operate about 20.000. There are not over

There are three or four large eotabllala-

for putting up telegraph lines may be purr

LIFE IN THE PALACE.
