The principals of the Jersey
City schools have decided ten
to four to return to corporal
punishment as the only sure
cure for certain school evils.
The Waco Day of the mar-
riage of differnt labor organiza-
tion says:
When the gTand old Democratic
party strikes the new political federa-
tion that has been formed in the name
of the farmers and laborers of Amer-
ica, the leaders of the movement will
wish they had never been bom. It
takes the Democracy to k::ock the
conceit and the staffing out of all such
un-American plans to foist political
blatherskites into office.
lit HONOR OF THE DEMO.
There seems to be a disposi-
tion to break away from the old
elassic studies and train by ham-
mering at something in our own
language. Not the thing but
effort makes the s< ‘hollar.
The link that has bound the
hearts and minds of the south-
ern people together has been
broken and if there is not drift-
ing away from the old anchor-
age now it will be the wonder of
the age. Not the influence of
legislation, but of the heart has
kept the south as one man.
the
The new extradition bill sub-
mitted by the British govern-
ment to Canada contains the fol-
lowing schedule of offences:
Murder, or attempt or conspiracy
to murder; manslaughter; counterfeit-
ing, or altering money and uttering
counterfeit or altered mousy; larceny;
embezzlement, obtaining money or
goods under false pretense; robbery;
burglary; arson; rape; abduction; train
wrecking; piracy fraud committed by
a bailee, banker, agent, factor, trustee,
or member or public officer of any
company, made criminal by any law
for the time being in force.
Such a law should exist and
with it we may expect to hear
less often of the many offenses
that find protection in the land
of the British Lion.
The esteem in which
Southern people held Jefferson
Davis is no longer doubtful if it
ever was so. The almost spon-
taneous outburst of sorrow for
the fallen hero dispells any
lingering doubt. He is now en-
tombed in the hearts of as many
people as mourned the great
W ashington. He lies too in a
sepulcher where no man ever
lay .before. Washington is a
memory and a fond one, Davis is
the highest and noblest ideal of
a Southernman. His principles
are not dead though he propa-
gates them no more. Time will
ripen the fruit.
The Texas Mute Ranger con-
tains the following explanation
of the custom of tipping the hat
to a lady:
We have long been deliberat-
ing upon what plan to fall to
gratify and satisfy our readers.
Our desire has been to please
and entertain our readers, in this
we have no doubt failed often.
We have decided to give the
public an opportunity to say
Do our boys ever think, as they
raise their hats to a lady or girl friend,
why respect should be shown them tins
way? Here is the explanation of the
custom: The custom of lifting the
hat had its origin during the age of
chivalry, when it was customary for
knights never to appear in public ex-
cept in full armor. It became a cus-
tom, however, for a knight, upon en-
tering an assembly of friends, to re-
move his helmet, signifying, “I am safe
in the presence of my friends.” The
age of chivalry passed away with the
fifteenth century, but among the many
acts of courtesy which can be traced
back to its influence none is more
direct in its origin than that of lifting
the hat to acknowledge the presence
ol a friend.

Beaumont, Tex., Dec. 10.—The poi-
soning of four colored people in this
city this morning will prove a serious
affair.
JohnHcncssy and wife have
been occupying a house with the Fred-
ericks family. Yesterday evening
Honcssy came home and abused his
wife, threatening to kill her, but as he
had been in the habit of doing this,
nothing was thought of it. He. left
last night, saying he was goiug to
Houston. This morning Mrs. Freder-

The Houston Post has this to
say on the killing at Marshall •
‘•The terrible tragedy at Marshall
was the direct result of the pistol car-
rying practice. There is a state law
against carrying concealed weapons,
yet here were prominent attorneys aud
state legislators, pleading for the en-
forcement of law, with pistols in their
pockets ready at a moments notice to
sacrifice human life. The pistol must
go, even if it be necessary to send every
man caught with one on his person to
the penitentiary for ten years. If a
man cannot protect his head with his
bare hands he should appeal to the
courts, not to the murderous six-
shooter.
It is this disregard of the law
by men in high authority that
has kept the pistol the ruling
power in our land, Texas in
this regard is not worse than
other states, but there is a dis-
regard for the one law on the
part of legislators that they have
helped to create.
some flour from Mrs. Ilenessy to make
bread for breakfast. She, her hus-
band aud two children ate heartily
and nil were taken seriously ill. Doc-
tors were summond and found all par-
ties suffering from virulent poison.
The woman and children may recover,
but the husband cannot. Mrs. Ilenessy
thinks her husband placed the poison
in the flour for the purpose of killiug
her, but as she had bread already
baked she escaped. He also left a flask
of whiskey which luckily no one used,
ns it was well fixed with poison. Mrs.
Ilenessy gives her husband a bad
name, and says lie is wanted in Burle-
son county for shooting a man, for
which he was arrested but escaped.
Henessv was known as Ames Alexan-
der when he lived in Burleson county
but has frequently changed his name
since.
Business took a half holiday at New
Orleans without consulting anyone.
The march by the bier was rapid and
orderly. Full 70,000 people passed
through the chamber of death. Gen.
.lubal Early, Ex-Gov. Lubbock, of
Tex., Bishop Wilmer, of Ala., P. M. B.
Young, Ex-Minister to Russia, Ex-
Gov. Mufford of Va., and G. W. Jones,
of Iowa, were among the the distin-
guished visitors. The city is decora-
ting on a grander scale than ever
before in its history. The funeral
will virtually pass through solid walls
of black. The government flag is at
half mast, a few confederate flags are
displayed, but not in an unobjection-
able way. Seven governors of as
many states viewed the burial ser-
vice.

Ex-Con fed* rates Hold Imposinf He-
me rial Services in Honor of the
death of Hon. Jefferson Davis.
At a well attended meeting called
to order by Mayor Carton at the Opera
house this morning in honor of the
deceased ex-president, Jefferson Davis,
the follhwing programme was carried
out:
Rev. W. R. Maxwell offered a solemn
invocation to the Father of all, after
which the secretary called the follow-
ing speakers to the stage:
Rev. W. R. Maxwell, A. Lewy, W.
S. Banks, C. A. Brand, Dr. W. C.
Smith.
Mr. Maxwell’s appropriate and feel-
ing remarks of his personal experience
with, and recollection of, Mr. Davis
were loudly applauded.
Mr. Lewy made one of his best
efforts, language chaste; and in
thoughts, elevating. His recolcction
of thd inaugural services at Montgom-
ery, Ala., was given in his happiest
style, while the tribute paid to the
lamented dead was lofty. At the close
of his remarks the hand struck up
“Dixie” and a feeling aroused by old
memories caused many a scar worn
soldier to heave a sigh.
Mr. Banks then entertained the
audience in a classic oration in which
he reverted to the spirit of chivalry
in the anti helium south which senti-
ment mot with a hearty welcome in-
dicated by the continued applause.
Dr. Smith then addressed the
audience, narrating a single incident
in the life of Mr. Davis characteristic
of Mr. Davis’ magnaminity. His
speech was well received.
Mr. Brand took the stand and
uttered some beautiful sentiments
dwelling on the virtues and lofty sen-
timents of Mr. Davis.
The Committee on Resolutions then
reported the following which were
pdopted and a copy requested to be
sent the widow also one to be given the
Temple papers and sent to the Gazette:
Whereas God Almighty has seen
tit to call to himself Jefferson Davis,
the man, the schollar, the patriot and
the Christian tnereforc be it,
1, Resolved—Wc thank Him that
He has spared to us so long one whose
light and influence has gone abroad
to benefit and purify the thoughts, acts
and noble ambitious ol men.
2, To his sorrowing wife and daugh-
ters we send our heartfelt sympathy
in their bereavement.
3, W hide we see in him the leader
of a lost cause—we still must honor
him as the man triumphant over ad-
versity of circumstances, base contu-
mely and slander—the man whose
courage against adversity, and whose
purity of life is leading hosts on to
victory against themselves—a leader
of the hearts of men.
4, With his loving admirers both
North and South—wc raise our voices
in the anthem of praise which to-day
will be chanted over all that is earthly
of him. Healing sympathy has twined
foreyor the growing branches of the
Palmetto and the Pine. Around
God’s throne are victors and vanquish-
ed, his ministering angels. No North,
no South, sealed forever as a united
people with the blood of the Blue aud
the Gray, we will bear aloft the name
of him who lived and died, hero to a
principle, in fullest sense deemed just:
W. Goodrich Jokes, Chmn.
W. S. Bankm,
W. R. Maxwell,
J. E. Moore,
L. R. Wade,

F. F. Downs.
The thanks of the old soldiers was
tendered Col. Burr for the interest
and labor given the meeting.
Col. Rudd was also tendered the
thanks of the soldiers for the uso of
the Opera house.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet out of the Opera house aud form
a procession of the boys who wore
the gray and such of those who wore
the blue as felt disposed to accept the
invitation tendered thorn to join the
procession. The old soldiers all wore
white badgesjand the banner of white
horded with crape boro this inscrip-
tion:
“Our late lamented leader

December Astronomy.
If you look into the southwestern sky
just after sunset, you will see a large
and beautiful planet. It is Jupiter, the J
evening star. Early in January, soon
after tl)e sun starts northward, it will
disappear. For a few weeks it will be
invisible; then it will smile on i.s again
as a morning star. Venus is now seen
by people who rise before daylight. She
will remain the morning star till about
Feb. 14; then she will be the evening
star, making the night radiant. Many
will recall her glory of last March and
April.
The most important event of the
month, anil of the whole year, will be
the total eclipse of the sun, on the 21st.
The expedition the United States gov-
ernment sent to Africa to see and photo-
graph it has already arrived at its desti-
nation. Eighteen hundred and eighty-
nine is remarkable in astronomical an-
nals as witnessing two total eclipses of
the sun. Two such eclipses in one year
are very rare.
The 21st is the shortest day of the
year. There will be less Ilian nine and
one-half hours of sunlight.

Wtndom’s Wisdom as to Silver.
Secretary Windom’s recommendations
on the silver question will be discussed
with perhaps more interest than any
other part of his report. The United
States is the largest silver producing
country in the world, and therefore more
deeply interested in this question than
any other.
The secretary of the treasury recom-
mends a law passed opening the United
States mints as places of deposit for silver
bullion rated at 412.5 grains to the dollar
in value. In return for the silver de-
posited, its owner receives from the mint
United States treasury notes which Bhall
be lawful money of the country for all
purposes. Mr. Windom sums up his
recommendation in the following plain
words:
Capital Paid Up,......................................$100,000.(
Surplus,...........................................................$15,000.(
-t. DIRECTORS t-
1
Issue treasury notes against deposits of silver
bullion at the market price of silver when depos-
ited, payable on demand in such quantities of sil-
ver bullion as will equal in value, at the date of
presentation, the number of dollars expressed op
the face of the notes at the market price of silver,
or in gold, at the option of the government; or in
silver dollars, at the option of the holder. Repeal
the compulsory feature of the present coiuage
act.
