The Mississippi legislature elected
Hon. II. I). Money Foiled States
Senator, to succeed I . S, Senator
George.
Twenty-three hundred and sev-
enty-two employees are engaged in
handling the annual output of Chi-
cago's postollkv.
Hon. M. S. Townsend, member of
the state democratic executive com-
mittee, for the eighteenth district,
died at llallettsvilh', Sunday.
Mayor Strong, of the city of New
^ ork, in his annual message, recom-
mends the holding of an election
upon the question of opening the
saloons of that city on Sundays.
Late Constantinople advices say:
"I'nited Stales Minister Terrell has
demanded an indemnity uf §100,-
000 for the burning of the American
missions at Marasli and Kharput,
lien. II. W. Kuleman, of Wcatli
erford, says he is for any plan to de-
feat the Populists, aad further that
"his section of the state was plagued
with the critt« rs and he was for any-
thing that would rid the people of
them."
"War to the knife and knife to
the hilt" politics will he enacted in
old Bastrop county the coming elec-
tion. This system of acknowledging
everything, swearing to almost any.
thing for ollicial perpetuation, has
about seen its last ilajs.—Klgin
Courier.
The two post otlU'us in the Coiled
States that are most widely separated
from each other are those at Key
West. Flu., and Ounalaska, Alaska.
They are six thousand two hundred
and seventy-one miles apart, and
yet a two cent stamp will carry a
letter from the one to the other as
readily as from New York to Brook-
lyn.
The authorities of Ithodc Island
have discovered that the new law re-
quiring all persons performing the
marriage ceremony to register yearly
is identical with one enacted 70 years
ago, which has long been a dead U t-
ter. The authorities state there has
not been a legal marriage in Rhode
Island for f>0 years, and will apply
to the legislature to have the acts of
unlicensed clergymen made valid.
The Dallas News' 'Hound About'
prints some interesting interviews
with representative men on different
subjects, and gives one on Harney
(Jihhs that is worth repealing. It
comes from Ho... J. N. Browning, of
Clarendon, who represented the pan-
handle in the legislature as long as
he could be induced to serve. Speak-
ing of (!ov. (iihbs' interviews in the
News, he said:
Tin y remind me of a story. There
w as an oM lawyer who had been in the
criminal practice for about forty years.
One Miinlay lie went on a hat and while
\titideiini: down the street heard the
sound of music and cotiuludcd hi would
go In nuil see what it was all about. It
11,iI• I <• ii«'iI to lie a church, ami mi the old
fellow lurched down the aisle and took
a seat In the amen corner. Directly the
preacher begin Ills sermon and when he
said anything that pleased the lawyer,
the old fellow would indicate his con*
currence. When the lawyer disagreed
with the latter lie showed an inclination
lo argue the proposition. Directly the
preacher (jot tired of the joint debate
and said: "My friend, there is coming
a day when we must alt stand before the
judgment bar of (Sod and account for the
sins done In the tlesh. I hope it will not
tie necessary for tile to lie found testify-
ing against you on that dreadful day.'
'•The old lawyer raised himself up,
and pointing his linger at the person,
said in thunder tones: "I have been
practising law forty years, and it has
tieen my invariable experience that the
blanketcdst rascal in the whole bunch
always turns states' evidence,'
"That," concluded Mr. Browning,
•' may apply to Gov. (jihhs.''
Here is a good joke, but wc are
unable to say whether it is on the
populists or the free silver democrats.
Some time ago the populists desir-
ing a paper that would reflect their
peculiar political ideas, concluded
they would have one started at Val-
ley Mills, on the line of this aud
Bosque counties, and so arranged
with an editor who had n country
outfit. He was promised some money
along as lie needed it, and, strange
to say that time soon arrived, lie
had his patent in the express office
with a big scare-typed "C. O. D."
on it, and went to his pop friends
for the "scads" with which to take
out of the express office the ready
print pop thunder. The money was
not forthcoming and the date of pub-
lication was near at hand. He ad-
vertised the fact to the people about
town that the pops were not keeping
faith willi him, and as a matter of
joke some of the free silver demo-
crat'- prop.- 1 lo raise £-•" for liiin—
the amount wanted—if he would
change the ;■«'lilies of his paper. He
aeeeptcd the proposition, and the
next issue of his paper was demo-
cratic on one side and populistic on
the other. He kept it this way till
the ready print run out and now has
a different patent, but is still a free
silver democratic paper. We are at
a loss to know who the joke is on.

I have talked aud many scores more

A Brenham telegram of February
3, says: Mr. Dwyer's cash book
showed that he had $;">500 cash <>■
hand and lie had told Mrs. Dwyer
that he had collected 8100 for her.
And it was known that he had made
so«e other small collections, which
perhaps amounted to 8200, making
an aggregate of $<5100. His safe at
hjs resilience was drilled open Satur-
day and in it was found 85,000 in
gold and 8100 in silver and fractional
currency, leaving his cash short
8700 or 8*00, which is supposed to
be the amount secured by the mur-
derers.
