Boys, our youth is too fast fleeting,
Life's glad morning .can not last.
And the moments, swift retreating,
Warn us that 'twill soon be past.
There will come a sure declining,
And I would this to you say :
While the sun is brightly shining,
Don't forget the rainy day.
Sunshine can not last forever,
Storms will come, and winds wage strife,
And as sure will dark clouds gather
On the horizon of life.
Let us, then, in youth remember
Life is not one long, bright May ;
Sure will come the drear December,
Sure will come the rainy day.
As the busy bee doth gather
In bright days her winter store,
So should we for life’s bleak weather
Garner ere the summer’s o’er.
Yes, ere life’s bright spring doth leave us,
Let us strive aside to lay
Something that may shelter give us
When shall come the rainy day.

Thousands Say So.
Mr. T. W. Atkins, Girard, Kan., writes
“I never hesitate to recommend your Elec
trie Bitters to my customers, they give en
tire satisfaction and are rapid sellers.’
Electric Bitters are the purest and best
medicine known and will positively cure
Kidney and Liver complaints. Purify the
blood and regulate the bowels. No family
can afford to be without them. They will
save hundreds of dollars in doctor’s bills

San Antonio and Aransas Pass.
San Antonio, Oct. 14.—The San Auto- ‘
nio and Aransas Pass railway to-day 1
named committees for tlie ensuing year, !
levied a 10 per cent, assessment on stock, i
and approved the charter amendments for
a northwestern extension from San Anto-
nio to Fredericksburg, reaching for Aus-
tin trade, aud a branch from some point ■
on the line, through Karnes, DeWitt, La-.
vaca and Fayette counties, to Waco, there 1
to connect with the St. Louis and Texas
narrow gauge.
Texas and St. Louis Affairs.
Mr. J. M. McCormick, special master in
tl’.e Texas and St. Louis railroad sale, has
just returned from a trip to Waco. While
there he says tlie account of Receiver
Woodward were passed upon and found
correct. lie informed a Herald reporter
that the sale would not now take place be-
fore December 1. In tlie meantime, Col.
Paramore, tlie president of the road, and
the new receiver, Mr. Fordyce, are on an
inspecting tour in tlie state. The sale
will probably be made in order to close
out all small claims that might hereafter
be annoying to tlie new syndicate.—Dallas
Herald.
Tlie El Paso, St. Lonis and Chicago.
New York, Oct. 15.—The announcement
of the incorporation in Texas of the El
Paso, St. Louis and Chicago railway com-
pany is interpreted here to mean that a
line of railroad is to be built northeast
from El Paso to an intersection with the
Atlantic and Pacific, in tlie territory of
New Mexico. Valuable deposits of coal
and precious metals are known to exist
along the route. The effect of such a line,
when completed, will be to form a line be-
tween St. Louis and El Paso shorter than
either the Texas & Pacific and Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe.
The Removal of the Traffic Depart-
ment of the Texas and St. Lonis Rail-

St. Louis, Oct. 15.—Mr. A. S. Dodge,
general passenger agent, J. W. Allen,
chief clerk of the passenger department,
Mr. Tiernoy, tlie stenographer, Mr. L. A.
Dcaume, clerk in tlie passenger depart-
ment, Mr. Lynch, and all other employes
of the traffic degartment of the Texas and
St. Louis railway company left this city
in a sleeping car over tlie Cairo Short Line
last night for Texarkana. They went to
Texarkana to remain permanently, as tlie
traffic department of the company has
been transferred to that place from St.
Louis. The men dislike tlie change, but
they are determined to make tlie best of
it. They take pleasure in the thought
that they will escape the cold Weather,
which is supposed to be approaching in
the city. ____________
THE ONLY SERE CURE.
Messrs. Bass & BrotherMy chickens
were dying at the rate of seven or eight a
day. I bought a 50-eent package of your
Chicken Cholera Cure. When I went
into the yard I found six fine hens nearly
dead, gave each one a good dose,also gave
it to the rest of my chickens. All of the
sick liens are now well and laying finely,
and 1 have not had a case of cholera in
my yard since. I have tried many reme-
dies, but yours is the only sure cure. If
you will let the people know of the great
discovery, thousands of chickens will be
cured if directions are followed.

Foraker’s Plurality.
Cincinnati, Oct. 15.—Tlie totals of near-
ly all the counties in the state make Fora-
ker’s plurality 53,386; Hoadley’s plurali-
ty, 34,201; Foraker’s net plurality, 20,185.
Admitting that Hamilton county is about
even, and that Brown and Ottawa coun-
ties will give Hoadley a majority equal to
the majority for Cleveland last year, Fora-
ker’s plurality will be 18,579. Very little
news can be given regarding the represen-
tation in Hardin county. Tlie election of
a democrat representative in Stark county
is admitted. Otherwise tlie situation re-
mains unchanged.
What »I<1 It.
Cincinnati, Oct. 15.— Governor-elect
Judge Foraker being asked what be re-
garded as tlie leading motive that led to
the result in Ohio, said :
First—The republicans regarded it im-
portant that a decisive expression should
be given at tlie first election after tlie be-
ginning of a democratic national adminis-
tration.
Second—A determination to give an ex-
pression in favor of a free ballot and a fair
count in all our elections.
Third— Distrust concerning the free
trade tendencies of tlie democratic party,
coupled with a recognition of the necessi-
ty of maintaining tlie republican ascend-
ancj’ in the United States senate.
Fourth—Disgust with the democratic
state administration in Ohio, notably the
election of the last senator, and the ex-
travagance of the last legislature.
Fifth—A wish to have the liquor traffic
regulated and taxed as a practical method
of dealing with the subject, aud dissatis-
faction with tlie democratic position in
favor of license, which is impracticable.
The Bloody Shirt at Columbus.
Columbus, Oct. 16.—Great excitement
was created in front of the democratic
headquarters, on Broad street, at 3 o’clock
this evening, and a riot was narrowly
avoided. Soon after noon some one about
tlie headquarters caused to be strung
across tlie street, in large form, a bloody
shirt, with the inscription, “New South,
new North, and a new deal; the last of
the bloody shirt.” It is stated that a G.
A. R. man called and gave the committee
half an hour to have tlie shirt taken down,
and by order of a member of the command
it was being done, when a man from the
republican headquarters grabbed the gar-
ment and, after soaking it with kerosene,
returned and burned tlie shirt in front of
democratic headquarters. A crowd of
several hundred gathered, and tlie great-
est excitement prevailed. Tlie counsels
of cooler heads prevailed, and after much
loud talk and many threats, the crowd
dispersed. The yelling caused tlie people
to leave their business, while many locked
their doors. The republicans denounce it
as an insult, and botli sides are condemned
by better citizens for participating in a
move which, in the present political fever,
might have led to a great loss of life and
" property.

Exploring the Rivers Tennah and Ta-
kon — An Expedition that Ranks
with Those of liivingstone aua
Lewis »nd Clarite — Atcoiii-
plishment of a Great Feat.
Chicago, Oct. 15.—General Nelson A.
Miles, who Is in the city, received a tele-
gram yesterday from Lieutenant Henry
T. Allen, of tlie Second cavalry, stating
that lie had arrived safely at Siln Fran-
cisco, after his Alaska exploration, haying
completed his journey through the regions
of the far north, which in the opinion of
General Miles, excelled all the explora-
tions on tlie American continent since
Lewis and Clark, and the world's record
since Livingstone.
Lieutenant Allen left Sitka last Februa-
ry, and journeyed to the mouth of Cop-
per river, which lie followed until he
reached the great Alaskan range of moun-
tains. These he crossed on snow shoes,
and to the head of the Tennah river, in
jtself a marvelous accomplishment. For
700 or 800 miles he followed the Tennah
until it emptied into tlie Takon, the great
river of the north. He then journeyed on
to the mouth of the Takon, a distance of
400 or 500 miles more. On the completion
of his great journey, Lieutenant Allen re-
paired to Fort Mitchel, on Bherring strait,
and returned on the steamer Corwiii,
The exploration of the Tennah find Ta-
kon rivers had been the ambition of ex-
plorers long before Alaska came into pos-
session of the United States. Several ex-
plorations by American officers have end-
ed in failure until, among army officers on
the Pacific coast, tlie feat came to be cou-
sicered well-nigh impossible.
Lieutenant Allen’s companions were a
sergeant and an officer of the signal corps,
together with tlie Indians whom be per-
suaded to join them.
that he can find uo basis for any hope that
the empress will have any permanent re-
covery from her malady. He says she is
possessed by a persistent delusion that
Maximilian is still alive, that lie is work-
ing out a brilliant destiny, and that lie
will soon be emperor of the whole world-
She spends much of her time in search-
ing for him in the rooms and gardens of
her chateau at Bonchant. Ill her calmer
moods she holds receptions. These are
limited to tlie ladies of the Belgian court;
and toward ail these the Empress main-
tains an extremelj' dignified and imperial
mien. One phase of Carlotta’s insanity is
remarkable. She has conceived a violent
passion for making frequent purchases of
costly court costumes. She is permitted
to indulge this passioh; and as she buys
with exquisite taste tlie costumes are sub-
sequently sold, generally without loss and
often with great profit, to ladies of high
standing in Brussels.
There Shall lie No NigRt There.
That must be a glorious place to live in;
no clouds and no darkness; where can it
be? Here on earth. Civilization enforces
on all humanity within its influence a
penalty. That penalty is sickness of
many kinds and different degrees. Unso-
ciability, fretfulneSS; anger, bad language,
anxiety, rude manners, distrust, ill tem-
per, disquiet, broken rest, impaired facul-
ties and unsoundness of mind and body,
are some of its consequences. Relief can
be given, and the night of sickness dissi
pated in the rays of the sun of health by
using the celebrated Home Sanative Cor-
dial. s25-lm

Captain Conner, of tlie St. James hotel,
formerly manager for John McCullough,
said to a Tribune reporter: “Billy Flor*
ence and I have been out at Blooming-
dale visiting McCullough, and I declare to
you that it was one of tlie most sofrb'w-
ful journeys I fever performed in my life;
He is failing rapidly. I could see a great
change for the worse in him since my pre-
vious visit. This is not only noticeable in
ills mental condition, his physical strength
is also giving way; and lie lias to lean on
tlie attendant while walking about tlie
grounds.”
“Did he recognize you ? ”
“Instantly. This is one of tlie peculiar
features of the disease tliat lias hold df
him. Victims of paresis seldom losa
tlieir power of recollection until the very
last, and McCullough is no exception to
tlie rule. He exhibited tlie pleasureche
felt at seeing me in the most juvenile
manner. Oil, it was awful to see such ii
great manly fellow leaning feebly upon
his attendant, and talking in the incoher-
ent and thoughtless manner of a three-
year-old child. I never shall forget it aS
long as I live. His appetite is remarka-
bly good and he sleeps well. The officers
say that he gives them little, if any
trouble. Sometimes he becomes restless;
and expresses a desire to go to Saratoga;
Cincinnati, St. Louis b'r some such place;
Whenever lie does the attendant will say :
‘All right, let iisjgo,’ and together they
will start for tlie gate, hut long before it
is reached, McCullough will have forgot-
ten all about the matter, and in a few mo-
ments will return to his apartments.”
“Docs he seem to realize his condition
at all?”
“Yes, somewhat. He feels that he is
under some kind of restraint, but seems
to think that it is by my direction, and
tliat in a few weeks we are to go tin tlie
road again. He mutters snatches of his
plays at times, but, of course, liis intellect
is too shattered to'jiermit him to repeat
more than a sentence or two consecutive-
ly. Even his most familiar lines are gone
out of his memory. ‘It is terrible warm
here in Cincinnati, Billy,’ be said to me
as we sat together for a few moments in
his cosy quarters.”
“Will he remain in Bloomingdale dur-
ing tlie winter? ” it was asked.
“He will, if my advice is followed, but
his trustees will decideabout that. McCul-
lough is worth between $40,000 and
$50,000. There is one erroneous state-
ment about McCullough that I would like
to correct. It has been said that his afflic-
tion is due to dissipation in various ways;
This is false. I was intimately connected
with him for years, and 1 know that while
McCullough enjoyed congenial society as
well as any man, he was not given to ex-
cesses of any kind. No, McCullough’s
disease is hereditary.”—New York Tri-
bune.
How to Tell Quinine from Morphine;
There having been several serious and
two fatal mistakes recently caused by the
administering of morphine for quinine, ii
Herald reporter, meeting Dr. J. L. Car-
ter, our efficient health officer, yesterday,
asked him if he would give him some of
tlie simplest tests for detecting the deadly
drug from quinine.
“Yes,” said the doctor, “1 can, with!
plcashife.”
First—For instance : Morphine will dis-
solve in water without making any depos-
it or changing tlie color ot the water;
Quinine will not dissolve, but makes a
milky-looking mixture.
Second—The bitter taste ot morphine
will leave the mouth almost immediately;
The bitter taste of quinine is almost per-
manent.
Third—If you press morphifie under
tlie finger, it makes a cracking sound;
Quinine feels like a lot of cotton or other
fibre.
Fourth— Both are crystals of very
small size, and look very much alike. Alt
persons using what they suppose to be
quinine ought to be very careful, and by
applying some of the above simple tests
would avoid serious mistakes.—Dallas
Herald.

Several large pasture owners In south-
west Texas have signified their intention
of colonizing their pastures with farmers
at as early a period as practicable. The
shrewdest of stockmen on a large scale
are beginning to see tliat raising and
driving cattle to market in the future will
be surrounded by so many perplexing
difficulties, that more money will be real-
ized in raising fewer cattle of a better
quality, and therefore will dispose of a
portion of their immense pastures to far-
mers.—Goliad Guard.
The best fertilizer I have used for fruit
trees is made of chip dirt from the wood-
pile and old ashes. I mix in the propor-
tion of one bushel of the ashes to three of
the chip dirt, stirring well with the shov-
el. About two bushels of this mixture is
to be spread around each young tree, giv-
ing large, well-grown trees more. The
manure is applied at any season. Do not
pile around the trees any litter or rubbish
that would harbor mice. In summer
keep the weeds from around the trees.
Experience has taught me that this fertil-
izer serves a very important purpose, not
only in supplying the tree with suitable
food, but in mellowing the soil and help-
ing on such crops as I may choose to
plant in my orchard. It is an excellent
fertilizer for any crop, annual or peren-
nial, and the ashes from hard wood sup-
ply tlie trees with the element they most
need and the soil lacks, namely, potash.—

will be left alone in silence and darkness
for the worms. And it may be for a
short time we will be spoken of, but the
things of life will creep in, and our names
will continue to move on, and laughter
and song will be heard in the room in
which we die; and tlie eye that mourned
for us will be dried, and glisten again
with joy; even our children will cease to
think of us, and will not remember to lisp
our names.”
Although in tlie convention tliat met
before the war Gen. VV. C. Wickham, now
vice-president of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad, voted against secession, be gal-
loped to the first troop of horse into Cap-
itol Square and tendered liis sword to the
State and Confederacy. He commanded
a brigade through tlie war, and although
ills home was within the lines, he did not
cross its threshold but twice, and was
each time carried in wounded. When lie
surrendered with Lee at Appomattox he
disowned the Confederate leaders, and re-
turning home built the first schoolhouse
for colored children in tlie South. He be-
came the leader ot the republican party in
Virginia, and did much to make it respect-
able. He was subsequently driven out of
the party by Mahone, and is now support-
ing Fitz Hugh Lee for Governor.
