The Two Platforms.
From Bradstreets Weekly.
The republicans have put forth their
platform in the important state of Ohio
where the democrats held their conven-
tion a week ago and the views of both
parties on public questions may be com-
pared. The democrats it will be re-
called demanded a reduction of the tar-
iff; the republicans declare in favor of
the maintenance of the same. In par-
ticular the latter are opposed to any re-
duction of the present duties on wool
and on woolen and worsted goods.
They favor liberal pensions adequate
appropriations for the improvement of
the national waterways and national aid
toeducation. Regarding the reduction
of the surplus revenue they advocate as
the first step the abolition of the Internal
tax upon American-grown tobacco.
Upon the subject of restricting foreign
immigration the republican platform is
much the more pronounced though the
tendency of both is in the same direc-
tion.

W Selleck whose residence is unknown to

District Court of Bexar County to to holden

Antonio <>n the first Monday in September
next the same toing the sth day of Septem-
ber A. D. 1887. then and there to answer a
petition filed In said court on the 29th day of
June A. D. 1887 in a suit numbered 3157 on
the docket of Raid court wherein Elia V. Sel-
leck is plaintiff and said William W. Selleck is
defendant.
Plaint iff in her petition alleges that she and
defendant on Decem to r 24 . in Frio conn*
ty. Texas were married and continued to live
with him as his wife until about Aprils. 1886;
that during all that time she conducted her-
self with propriety managing the household
affairs with prudence and economy and at all
times treated her said husband with kindness
and forbearance but that defendant disre-
garding the solemnity of his marriage vows
and his obligation to treat plaintiff with kind-
ness and attention within one month after
their said marriage began a course of unkind
harsh and tyrannical conduct toward her.
which continued constantly until she finally
separated from him on or about the said 6th
day of April 1886. That on divers occasions
while plaintiff lived with defendant he was
guilty of excesses cruel treatment and out-
rages toward her of such a nature as to render
their living together insupportable. That said
series of abuses culminated on April 6 1886
by defendant striking plaintiff in the face
with his hand without-having any reason
whatever for so doing thereupon plaint H re-
fused any longer to live with him as his wife
and did then and there separate from him and
has not lived with him as his wife since.
Wherefore plaintiff prays for judgment dis-
solving the marriage between her and defend-
ant for costs and general relief.

AUF WIEDERSEHN.
The beautiful braids of leer golden hair
Are twisted hi sport by the hoist'runs air.
And a pearly tear on the red cheek glows
Like a drop of dew on the crimson
But her manly lover tarri*** to t hr >w
▲ mantle of cheer o'er the maiden's WSfiC
“Auf wiedersehn 1 auf wie-dersehn!
We |>art my love to meet again!"
The ocean is fieroe and the beaten hark
Goes down to its fate <n the waters dark.
While a yeuthful lover gallant and true.
Sinks into depths of longer adieu;
But bursting in spray from the rising foam
An echo floats to the watcher at home:
“Auf wirderselm! auf wiedersehn I
We part dear one to meet again ’.’*
A maiden is watching with straining eye*
For a coming sail in the distant skies;
Did the lover not say he would return*
So the maiden will hope and watch and yearn.
But lo! at Ler feet from his distant grave
There ripples the song of a tender wave:
“Auf wiedersehn! auf wiedersehn!
We part dear one to meet again!”
Th* shimmering braids on her bosom pale
Are resting from play with the boist’rvus gale;
The tear is congealed on the icy cheek
And blue eyes are heedless of sails they seek;
The spirit in welling through faded lips
A mortal thought in eternity dips—-
“Auf wiedersehn! We'll meet again!
And short the time bis wiedersehn!"

AN ILLINOIS WEATHER PROPHET.
A Sign of Wind To-morrow-Winter Un-
til July—The Sparrows.
A sniffling scrawny bearded old man stood
on the front end of a west bound Madison
street car late Saturday afternoon. His only
companion was the driver.
“We’re goin’ ter have wind to-morrer”
said the old man with a sniffle. “See how
red the sky is in the west. That’s a sure sign
of wind and plenty on it too. It may come
afore midnight.”
The driver leaned one arm on the brake
and turned round with a serious face.
“It’s coming from the nor’west too” he
said with much gravity as he squinted his
owlish eyes at the blazing horizon. “I’ve seen
those things afore now and the wind alius
comes from that p’int when the sky is red.
D'ye see that dust go up spiral fashion over
there by the curb/ Well that's a nuther
sign That's a sign that the wind is goin' ter
blow cold an’ goin' ter blow fur two days or
more.
“I’ve seen a nuther sign too” sniffled the
old man taking a fresh chew of tobacco.
“Have you noticed the amount of waddin’
the sparrers are puttin’ inter their nests this
year# That’s a sure indication that it’s goin’
to be a cold spring. The last time I seen
sparrers luggin' bed quilts and old mufflers to
their nests there were only three seasons in
the year. It was winter until July then
there were three months of spring and then
it was winter again. Ali the garden truck
that was planted didn’t come up until the fol-
lerin’ year when the fruit trees bore two
crops.”
“That was some time ago wasn't it?” asked
the driver with a wise look.
“Yes several years ago—nigh onto forty I
reckon” replied the old man.
“Then there’s been more winters than sum-
mers in this country eh I”
“No’p; ’bout fourteen years arter that I
noticed that the sparrers built two nests in-
stead of one. These nests were jined together
by little avenoos of dried grass. The she
sparrer would hatch a brood in one nest and
then walk the avenoo to the other nest and go
ter hatchin’ again while the he bird would
tend ter the youngsters in the fl ret nest. The
season was so long that the sparrers hatched
from May to May and that's the reason why
we’ve got so many sparrers ter-day.”
“Then there was no winter that year?”
whispered the driver.
“Not a flake” replied the old man. “People
died of summer complaint all that year.”
When the driver reached the liam he told
the starter that he guessed he had totter lay
off the rest of the day. There had been two
remarkable changes in the weather on his last
trip he said and he was afraid that unless he
went right home he would come down with
something worse than the small pox.—Chicago
Herald.
Writing a Circus Bill.
I saw R. F. Hamilton a noted circus agent
concocting astounding announcements that
are to appear in flaming lines upon the bill
boards when the circus season opens and
fill the young American mind with delight-
ful anticipation. “Writing circus bills is al-
most an ait” said Mr. Hamilton as he
scribbled at the top of a sheet “The
Greatest Show on Earth.” He added: “The
announcement must please the public satisfy
the proprietor and lie a drawing advertise-
ment. It must be exaggerated in its
language but not verbose. Few words can
be used to describe a feature but those must
be corkers so to speak. This exaggeration is
legitimate after all and I don’t think it is
very much abused. The American people ark
used to it and they discount it just about
right. A merchant advertises that he is sell-
ing out his stock at 50 per cent below cost.
Nobody takes that literally. It is a legiti-
mate exaggeration that is discounted by
customers and simply means that the
merchant has cut his prices a little.
Suppose a man had the best entertainment
in the country and should announce the sim-
ple fact that he had the best show ever given
people would say: ‘I guess that don’t amount
to much; he doesn’t talk much about it.’ If
you don’t blow your horn yourself other peo-
ple won't blow it for you and they will think
you haven’t got a horn worth blowing. It
cost a great deal of money to make a com-
bination of the big rival shows. The way to
state that fact is this: 'Four Fabulous
Fortunes Expended etc.’ Then we say
‘Monster Quadruple Aggregation of Attrac-
tions.’ That sounds big and means that four
shows have combined. Now what shall I say
about the curious things on exhibition giving
the idea that there are so many that a person
would hardly be able to see them all. To
state it boldly like that would be useless. This
will do: ‘An Almost Incomprehensible col-
lection of Wonders.' All this sounds ex-
aggerated but the people pick the facts out
of it and it does not deceive them. They
expect this kind of advertising and therefore
it is legitimate and after all the exaggeration
is only in using big words and superlatives.”
—“Uncle Bill” in Chicago Herald.
Snapping a Revolver.
We don’t very often find a thief with a re-
volver in his pocket unless he is getting out
of tow n. A man known to the authorities as
a thief is very often arrested on suspicion.
The police think he may be wanted for some-
thing. If there is no charge against him he
gets away but if a revolver is found upon
him he is charged with carrying concealed
weapons and held until it can be seen what he
has been doing. One good thing about the
carrying of weapons is that the large ma-
jority of revolvers carried by thieves and the
tough element are cheap affairs which are
not to be depended upon to go off. Hardly a
day goes by but what a case is reported of
somebody snapping a revolver at some one
else but in most cases the weapon refuses to
go off. A really first class revolver only
snaps once and then if pointed the right
way somebody has to drop.—Detective in
Democrat.

The Dismal nwmnp.

Th* Odd and End Talent.
“Putting odd* and end* together” in the
home is a gnat art and out of it can come all
manner of beauty and law and order If you
have no talent for it do something which you
have talent for for a friend and let that friend
who ha* the odd and end talent do Cor you.
If in the fall and string when purchase* are
to be made for the clothing of the house and
the clothing of the family a little reflection
were exercised the result would be far better
taste than if thing* were bought without re
gard to harmony or fitness. Bup|xj*e in one
room in the Louse there is a worn out carpet
in another room a chair need* upholstering
and in the dining room the damask need* re-
plenishing suits are needed for the boys
dresses for the girls. Why not take the worn
out clothe* of toys and cut out th* best pieces
of cloth and get some brass tack* and up-
holster the chair* yourself! Perhaps you say
the pieces aie not Urge enough and the color
is not good but if your friend with the odd
and end talent is there she will tell you bow
to do it Now there must be in the worn out
carpet some good pieces which ('an have at
either end some plain woolen fringe and then
you enn use these little mg* as a matting or
to save your new carpet The beauty of them
will depend entirely on the kind of fringe you
buy and the color. Dark blue goes with
almost anything. You will save enough
money by little turns of this kind to buy a
better quality of damask for your table and

from a woman of bad taste than the style of

Value of Civility.
Civility oils the wheel* of our domeetlc
machinery and American women might
mend their manner* as well particularly as
to optional civilities. Optional civility does
not in any way include familiarity perhaps
it If the best of all safeguards agrtlnst it.
Well bred women never say anything to hurt
a person’s feelings. To tell one of the dis-
agreeable things said la-hind one’s took is
neither good taste nor optional civility. It is
rarely caused by excess of friendship. It is
more apt to to an expression of individual
spite. It is doubtful taste to warn fteople of
their faults to comment upon their failures
to carry them disagreeable tidings under the
name of friendship. This is very often
optional incivility. That mysterious thing
within us which we call “pride” which is at
once the l»est and the poorest thing as we
make it the painted wooden three legged
stool of assumption or arrogance or impolite
ness <>r the noble theme of self respect and
dignity is but another form of temper. It is
part of our moral climate and may make us
noble and agreeable or absurd and detestable
as we all are proud.—Mrs. John Sherwood in
New York World.
Children in the Kitchen.
It is almost needless to say that children
should not lx; allowed to make the kitchen
their play room. Especially should they to
excluded from it while the meals are being
prepared or other work is being done by th«
mother which requires her to keep a “hot
fire.” Of all the rooms in the house the on*
allotted to the children should be the bright
est and the sunniest and the temperature
should never to allowed to go above 70 degs..
and if kept at 68 degs. it will be still totter
for them. Free ventilation is of course to to
insisted upon and in stormy weather fresb
air should enter from an adjoining room.—
Atlanta Constitution.
One of the secrets of social success—and wt

What Pompeii Died Of.
A rv|M>rter chanced to be standing beside
the delivery de*k of one of the city libraries
when a well dream*! lady of 80 approached
the desk. The librarian was cutting the leave*
of a new copy of the “Last Days of PMpnii”
every now and then stopping to rend a iMvmags
from tie* famous novel. Tbo lady glanced
around list lewd y and said: “1 would like to

A Well llulMiMed Character.
Every one by diecovering his prevailing
deflciencivM and ordering hi* life and habit*
so as to counteract them is in fact exercis-
ing that true self control which is alone
worthy of the name. No wiser or more
valuable lesson can to learned in the whole
system of education than thus to know self
and to minister to its deepest needs. Neither
is it so very difficult a task eqiecially when
liegun in early life. Nearly every intelligent
youth knows something of bis own bias. He
knows whether be is inclined to to hasty or
phlegmatic idle or diligent frugal or ex-
travagant selfish or generous. If according
to this knowledge be will cultivate assidu-
ously those qualities in which he is deficient
seeking opportunity for their exercise and
resolutely bringing them to the front when-
ever they fall into the rear he will anpiire
an ever increasing power of self control that
will go far toward establishing and strength-
ening a well tolan<*(*d and harmonious char-
acter.— Philadelphia Ledger.

BLOOD POISON.
Three years ago I contracted a blood poison.
1 applied to a physician at once and hi* treat-
ment came near killing me I employed an
old physician and then went to Ky. I then
went to HotSpringsand remainedtwomonths
but nothing seemed to cure me permanently
although temporary relief was given me. My
condition grew desperate and I applied to h
noted quack but I did not improve I then
used a preparatlou which was prescribed
“gratis” but it contained too much alcohol
and aggravated my sufferings. 1 th<*n placed
myself under the treatment of a noted Nash-
ville physician and lor a time was benefited
but by fall 1 returned home n ruined man
physically and financially with but little pros-
pects of ever getting well. My money to!ng
exhausted I did not know whai todo. In
May. 1885. my mother )>ersuaded mo tn get a
bottle of B B. B (made in Atlanta) and I did
so to gratify her but to my utter astonish-
ment I bad not finished the first bottle before
every ulcer had been healed.
To the present time I have used live bottles
and have received more benefit than from nil
the rest combined: and I am satisfied that B.
B. B. is the most wonderful blood purlfierever
before known and I urge all atnictcd young
men to try one single to)tt!e nnd be convinced.
I can truly bay I think it the best medicine in
