What He Bid.
One would say that Shakespeare, at
least, must be the one exceptional prophet
to be honored in his own country, but,
widely spread as we know his fame to
be, at least one Englishman had no very
clear idea of its cause.
Some years ago, while passing through
Stratford-on-Avon, Mr. Toole, the En-
glish comedian, saw a rustic sitting on a
fence.
“That is Shakespeare’s house, isn’t it?”
he asked, pointing to the building. •
“Yes.” '
“Ever been there?”
“No.”
“Brought up here?”
“Yes.”
“Did he write anything?”
“Oh yes, he writ.”
“What was it?”
“Well,” said the rustic, “I think he
writ for the Bible.”—Youth’s Companion.

Mark Twain Not a Ladies’ Man.
On one occasion Clemens was standing
against a lamp post and holding a cigar
box under his arm. Mrs. Capt. Edward
Poole, a very beautiful woman, and as
bright and as witty as beautiful, came
along and stopped and held out her had,
saying: “Why, Mark, where are you
going in such a hurry?” “I’m m-o-o-v-'
i-n-g,” drawled Mark, at the same time
opening the cigar box, disclosing a pair
of blue socks, a pipe and two paper col-
lars.
He had never cared for the ladies, was,
in fact, a fish out of water when he hap-
pened to be near them. While employed
on the daily Alta, having secured em-
ployment there after leaving The Call, he
called at a dressmaker’s establishment
and for ten minutes addressed a wax fig-
ure of a lady before discovering his mis-
take. —Boston Transcript.
A monster barbecue will be held at
Dickinson on next Saturday, when the
final sale of lots at that place will be
held. There will be an ox roasted and
refreshments served free to all comers.
Music will be furnished by a band.
Those who attend can be assured of a
pleasant time. It will be an opportunity
to combine business with pleasure.
What Bid the Man Want?
A man went into a pancake restaurant
on Griswold street and said to the waiter
r gb'l:
“Bring me an order of hot cakes, one
at a time, and hurry up.”
The girl brought a plate of hot cakes,
and as he ate them had another one
ready. This she did six or eight times,
each relay being dispatched with relish.
At the last he threw down his knife and.
fork.
“Look here,” he thundered in a deep
bass; “bring me something to eat. I
don't want to swallow batter and syrup
all day. Anybodyd’ think I was stuck
on pancakes.”—Detroit Free Press,
Superstitious Bailroad Men.
Another tragic point on the Houston
and Texas railrood is Elm creek bridge.
It is in a creek bottom, a few miles south
of Corsicana, where a convict employed
in the construction of the road was kill-
ed while attempting to escape. The tra-
dition is that the unfortunate man was
crammed in a -water barrel, head down,
and buried in scandalous haste. The su-
perstitious think they can see his misty
ghost as it flits across the track in front
of the engine, ominous of evil. Here ac-
cident after accident has occurred; many
engineers and firemen have lost their
lives or been crippled for good, and
thousands of dollars’ worth of rolling
stock and merchandise has been destroy-
ed. The train men have therefore
changed the name of the place to Bad
Medicine, and declare that these calami-
ties will be perpetual until the convict is
exhumed and buried horizontally, so as
to destroy his chances to kick at the
road which cost him his life here below,

The Literary Standard in America.
We say in all seriousness, .that in this
new country, drunk with prosperity and
besotted as it is with material ideals, the
literary standard is as high as ever it was
in the world; and that the literary per-
formance is of an excellence which is
only not conspicuous because it is so
general. If any one doubts it, let him
compare an average piece of fiction in
The Atlantic Monthly, or The Century,
or Scribner’s, or Harper’s with an aver-
age piece of fiction in Blackwood’s or
Frazer’s, or Tinsely’s of fifty years ago;
or an average essay in one of our period-
icals with an average essay of the best
English time; or an average poem of our
day with an average poem of the
“splendid and unsurpassed literature
the past;” or an average review in tli’^
Sunday papers with the “really capable
criticism” of the heyday of English re®
viewing.—W. D. Howells in Harper’s.

Y=eTees£To the Citizens of Galveston
Heights to experiment with a very crude
telephone which Graham Bell, then teach-
ing visible speecli (an invention, by the
way, of Melville Bell's in Boston), had
been working at. It answered the pur-
pose, of course, but was not nearly as
handy or effective as the present instru-
ment. It was here, too, that the first
telephone line was strung from Professor
Bell’s to the city, some two miles, so that
Brantford may very justly be designated
the birthplace of the telephone, if not
the birthplace of the inventor, who came
from Scotland as a young man with his
father. It was the development of the
telephone system and the prospect of the
munificent returns which followed which
ihduced Professor Melville Bell, himself
a man of wealth and endowed with high
mental and inventive gifts, to leave here,
much to the regret of the people of
Brantford and, we believe, to his own.—

At Houston,
The following described tract of land, now laid out into lots and blocks, situated
about 4X miles due north of Houston on the I. & G. N. Railroad, between the H. E.
& W. TCRailroad, beautifully drained by Gieen’s bayou, west prong; surrounded by
lands well fitted for all kinds of agricultural purposes, and especially adapted.to
the cultivation of early fruits, flowers and early vegetables. As to the possibilities
of these lands, the fine gardens in the neighborhood practically demonstrate this
fact. This project only lays the foundation for a village .which time will develop into
a town, and perhaps a city of no small pretensions. These industries will beat cot-
ton, corn and wheat planting; 2X '0 5 acres will support a family, while it requires
from 40 to 75 in the former interest. We have too long depreciated our possibilities.
Let us arouse from our lethargy. Houston is a big city and rapidly growing. She
needs these interests, and the difference of time—six weeks—with the railroad facili-
ties, will give you a market for all your fruits and vegetables.
