THOMAS II. JOHNSON
lluslness Mnnugrr
1'itiuAV AvarsT it 1883.
Dr. La Matyr the G cenbick apostle
has been "called" lo take chsrjje of a church
la Denver and is going to accept it.
Since the recent bout between Jcre llUck
and Jeff Davis the great Confederate Is al-
luded to as "ex-I'residtnt Dails."
The Edmunds bill has proved a dead letter
in Utah as is evidenced by the late elections
there where the Mormons carried everything
solidly.
The New York Sun calls attention to the
fact that the negroes hold the balance of
power between the two great parties of the
day in the States of New York Pennsyl-
vania Ohio and Connecticut.
The National Union League has recently
Issued an address to the public in which it
calls attention to the fact thst "the Republi-
can party is the only shield to-day that pro-
tects the Industrious the educated the intelli-
gent masres of American laborers from the
bad influence of the cheap labor and degraded
habits of the pauper millions of foreign lands."
Speaking of the candidacy of McDonald
of Indiana for the residency the Chicago
Tribune says i "What has that very respect-
able and commonplace old gentleman done
that he should be regarded as a Frcsldentlal
candidate t Other men who have been men-
tioned represent something like an Issue.
Hancock can run on his personal appearance
Iloadly on the $50000 whichhe has juit con-
fronted Sayard on his respectability Carter
Ilartiion on fiee rum Sammy Tildcn on his
fondness for athletics Ben liutler on Tewks-
bury Jeff Davis on State sovereignly and the
resolutions of 179S Ktndall on protection
and so on. nut' what has Joe McDonald done
more than Joe lirown that he should be look-
ing for a nomination I"
A prominent and successful merchant
Mr Bullene of the Arm of I3ulleneMoores &
Emery of Kansas City was asked If he ad-
vertlied in newspapers alone. He replied:
" Cettalnly the newspaper is the only proper
medium for a live merchant to employ. When
you find a merchant attempting to do business
without advertising in the newspapers you can
make up your mind be is not very anxious for
customers. The people read the newspapers
now-a-days." Then being asked If he adver-
tised the year round he said: "Yes sir.
Our contracts are for six months and a year.
The dull season is the very time to.adveitiie
you know. Our policy Is to put as much
money lato newspaper advertising as Into
store expenses that is rent and light. All
the successful merchants of to-day owe their
success to legitimate newspaper advertising."
While there is but little being said about
the chances of a visit from the cholera it is a
noticeable fact that the sanitary boards of the
cities South and East are earnestly at work In
an endeavor to clean up and protect the
health of the communities under their charge.
San Antonio Is justly entitled to the reputa
Hon it has always enjjyed and while it
is the most healthy city In Texas yet In view
of the extreme hot and dry weather of the
past six weeks it Is well that every precaution
should be taken. Beyond the work done by
the city icaveo ten no other preparatio
cleaning up is obscivable In the city and
while the advice is jiurely gratuitous yet the
LIGHT would suggest that the Board of
Health take a quiet trip around and through
the city and see If there Is not an opportunity
for some little Improvement in its sanitary
condition.
Under the head of "The Language Spoken
by Christ" the Washington Republican says:
"A controversy among the scholars o( ancient
languages has been going on as to what lan-
gusge was spoken by Jesus Christ during his
mission on earth. Rev. Alexander Roberts
thinks that probably the Isrgusge spoken by
Christ was Greek as Hebrew as a dead
langusge at the time of his mission on earth.
He also says that the people of Palestine at
that time spoke Aramatc and Greek the latter
being the language of the civilization of that
age. Another scholar comes forward and
says that the Hebrew becsme a dead language
during the Babylonian captivity and that the
Chaldaic took Its place with the Hebrews
the Hebrew became the Sanskrit (called Lo-
sonhakodresh) of the Jewish hierarchy and
the learned Rabbonlm. In the days of our
Saviour the Jewish hierarchy and the learned
and cultured people spoke both the clastic
Greek and the Latin. The langusge however
which was spoken by the masses was the
Syro'Chaldaic which was the langusge in
which Saint John the Baptist Jesus Christ
and his apostles spoke and preached to the
common people. This was the langusge of
the Targums and also ol the Talmud."
The Latest New York Drink.
From tho Urooklyn Knjrlo.
There has been a sudden boom in hot
water cocktails. Nobody knows where the
boom started but it certainly is In full swing.
The correct thing In the morning when the
man is in the prosaic and uncomfortable con-
dition known as "big head" is to take A hot
water cocktail. The drink consists ol hot
water In an ordinary glass and is gulped
down at a single tots. The blandness with
whlrh bartenders charge 15 cents for it has
not been equaled by any cxtottion of the
kind known In recent years. It Is said to be
a very healthy drink but its popularity is
firobabiy only due to the passing summer
ancy.
A Lesson for Girls.
It is natural for men to love women they
can't help It; but they wouldn't he men If they
didn't love themselves the best. If a youth
has $5 he is willing to spend 50 on his sweet-
heart but he wants to spend the other $4 50
on himself. The lesson for girls In learn is
only to demand the 50 cents. Seriously
speaking however a lady of delicate and
womanly tastes will not eipect expensive
presents from gentlemen. If a lady wishes to
command the respect and admiration of her
gentlemen Iriends she will not permit them to
spend money unnecessarily on Jier account.
If they are wealthy they will understand her
delicacy if they are poor they will appreciate
her thoughtfulness. By accepting such cour-
tesies as she will be able to return she can
preserve her independence will place herieli
under no obligations and will have nothing lo
regret in future years.
Woman's Society
What is it that makes all those men who
habitually associate with women superior to
those who do not ? Solely because they are
In the habit of free graces continued conver-
sations with the other sex. Women in this
way lose their frivolitv. their faculties are
awakened their delicacies and peculiarities
unioia an ineir beamy ana captivation In the
way of ellectual rivalry. And the men lose
their pedantic declamatory or sullen manner.
The coin of the understanding and the heart
cnances continually. ineir asperities are
rubbed off their better materials polished and
brightened and their riches like gold. Is
wrought Into finer workmanship by the fin-
gers of women than it ever could be by those
ol men. The iron and steel of their character
are hidden like the character and armor of a
giant by studs and knots of gold and precious
stones wnen nicy are not wanted In actual
anare.
An Honest Grip.
It is said lhat when President Arthur was at
Cape May he received a card from a caller
who was very anxious to see him. On being
shown in the visitor proved to be a weather
beaten middle aged man who grasped Mr
Arthur cordially by the hand and informed
him that he "knowed" him as soon as he "set
eyes on him." He then repeated his name to
the President and Inquired If he remembered
that his visitor had gone to school to him.
The President then recalled that during
one 01 nis vacations ne nao lor ine purpose
of raising much needed funds taken several
young fellows of about his own age to impart
some "college learning" to and the man be-
fore him was one of Ihem. The former
scholar combines the occupation ol fisherman
and restaurant keeper and informed the Pres-
ident that he was doing very well. The
President expressed his pleasure at the meet-
ing and the two parted with mutual expres-
sions of good will and hopes of future happi-
ness. The President said he got a grip of the
hand which he would not forget for some
time to come. Exchange.
Strayed Away
From tho Detroit Frco Press.
The youns man with two watch chains
across his vest boarded a Woodward avenue
car at 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon. Among
the passengers was an old woman who had
been inquiring about taking the Bay City train
at the crossing. She looked across at the
young man with great interest for a minute or
two and then said :
"Your lime must be very valuable young
man."
He bowed and mumbled something which
she could not catch and leaning forward she
asked :
" I s'pose one o' them watches is for when
you go down and the other is for when you
come up eh t"
He shifted around to look out of the win-
dow and seeming somewhat vexed at his
want 01 courtesy she continued ;
" Seems to me it would be cheaper to hitch
an eight-day clock to your shirt bosom'."
He didn't reply to that either and tapping
him on the knee with the handle of her um-
brella she inquired :
" Young man 1 want to catch the Bay City
train."
"Yes'm."
"What time is it by all your watch chains? '
"I I about III" he stammered.
"You didn't look. Come now here's an
ojd bull'a eye that's been in the family 48
years and never had an inch of brass chain
hitched to it. I'll bet it shows the right time
nearer than anything you've got."
She hauled out a watch almost as large as a
saucer and rattled it around and waved It
about and as she slid along the seat towards
the door she continued :
"I'd let them chains run down and hitch to
your boot-straps I Any young man as will
co and toggle himself all up and criss-cross
his vest with chains and spangles must have
got strayed away from some 35 cent store
and wants to be identified and returned. Have
you' got baked 'taters hitched to the pocket
ends ! Say 1"
But he dropped off and fell down and got
up and got away before she could further
abuse him.
Mr. Charles Overton leading man with the
Harrisons the past season contemplates .star-
ring this season in a new play he has recently
purchased from Mortimer Murdoch entitled
"The Hoop of Gold." He returns to Amer-
ica this week.
