Governor James S.
Texas recently made a
OPENING HI8 EYE8.
A Test That Decided the Old Man to
8tay 8ingle.
As I sat on the tavern veranda, I
noticed an old white-headed colored
man limping down the street with
paintul effort. When he came op-
posite me, he took off his hat and
asked:
"Boss, kin I cum up dar an' spoke
to yo' a minit?"
"Of course you can. What is
it?"
4 Dar's a dispute 'bout my aige,"
be replied, as he reached a chair
and fell into it. "Dar's sartin pus-
sons in dis town who say 1 ar'
more'n a hundred y'ars ole, while I
say I hain't a day ober fo'ty. Dey
said yo' was a stranger heah, an' I
dun cum down to ask yo' 'bout it."
"Does it make any particular dif-
ference what your age is?" I asked?
"Dat's de pint, sar. I ar' think-
ing some 'bout gittin' married agin,
but sartin pussons am dun blowin*
aroun' dat 1'ze got boat feet in de
grave."
"How old is the woman you have
your eye on?"
"'Bout 16, I reckon, an' one of de
nicest gals yo* eber saw. Dey's
blnwed so much 'bout my aige dat
she's dun got scart. Will yo' please
tell me jest how ole yo' reckon I
ar' ? '
He hadn't over three teeth in his
head and was tottering with old age,
but I didn't want to be too hard on
him. I reached out my cane to an-
other chair and rested the end about
a foot from the floor and said:
"A man under 6o years of age
ought to be able to jump over that
cane."
"Of co'se he had," was the
prompt reply. "An' I'll go ober it
1 ke a rabbit ober a log. Now, den,
lookout'"
He got up, swgng his shriveled
arms and made a try at it, but as his
leet left the floor he came down with
a great jar and lay at full length. I
helped ^hm up and back into the
chair, and hi^ face wore a dubious
expression for a couple of minutes
as he rubbed away at his back. By
and by he said : ,
"Boss, I reckon boaf sides hev
bin mistook 'bout mv aige. I was
mistook in thinkin' I wasn't ober
fo'tv, and dey was mistook in sayin'
I was ober ioo. Reckon I'll split
de difference."
"And call yourself about So? *
"'B^ut So, sah. 'Bout 79 or So."
"An^l also give up the idea of
marrying a girl ot 16?"
"Yes, sah ; I reckon I will. I'll
gin up dit idea an' look a leetle fur-
der—look lur some gal 'bout 20 or
long dar. Glad I come down, sah.
I was a leetle sot 'bout my aige, but
dat jumpin' bizness has opened my
eyes. Fo* de Lawd, sah, but I was
gwine out to see dat gal to-day, an'
I had it all planned to tackle a six
foot fence in front of her daddy's
house to show her dat I had de sprv-
ness of a nigger 20 y'ars ole! Hu!
Dat cane wasn't a foot high, but
whar am I at?"—Exchange.
spection among the State asylum
and penitentiaries. When he ar-
rived in Ru k, where the State pris-
on is located, and in which town,
years ago, be made his home, he
met an old negro, who was once his
father's slave. The old darkey was
proud and happy to see the gover-
nor, and was anxious to accompany
him on his trip through the prison.
The governor, just for old time's
sake, allowed him the privilege.
During the rounds the governor's
party came across an honestUooking
old negro, sentenced tor twenty
years at hard labor. The prisoner's
face wore such a pathetic look that
the kind-hearted governor stopped
and questioned him. After much
coaxing he told the following story:
"I cum out ter Texis from Ala-
bama, wif mah wile au' foah chilun,
an' settled on er farm in Grayson
county.; I paid foah hundred dol-
lars cash fo' de farm, an' had one
hundred dollars lef, wen er white
man comes by my house an' axes
me et I wanted ter buy some cows.
I say, w'at yo axes fo ctem.'' He
say, 'one hundred an' twenty dol-
lars.' I oney had one hundred dol-
lars an' he took hit, an' gimme de
kows. Den de sheriff comes long
an' say I done «t61e de kows, an' he
takes me waf frum mv wife an'
chilun an' puts me in jail. I has
my trial quick, caze I had no money,
an' dey sent me up heah fo twenty
yeahs."
The governor cross-examined the
Convict, and after a thorough exam-
ination, was satisfied that the negro
was an innocent man.
"Haven't you any friends?" asked
the governor.
"No sah. I done had one good
fren'. He was my ole massab,
back in Alabama," said the negrd.
"He wuz comin' out to try an' he'p
me, an' bress his soul, de poor man
died foah he got heah. Now I is
lef' all alone, widout anybody,
'ceptin' God an' I trusts ter Him.
I isn't carin' nuffin' 'bout mysef,
but I is feared my wife an' chillun
has ter suffah. Dey knows, mas-
sah, I is innercent' such as God is in
Hebben."
The governor saw the tears in the
eyes of his father's once faithful
slave, who was standing near, and
said to him:
"Mo«e, you haye always been a
good, honest darkey. You have
heard this old man's story. Do you
honestly believe he is innocent."
"Wal, Massah James," said
Mose, "I did lissened to ebbery
world, an' ef dat nigger is guilty,
den I an* you is guilty."
Ten days later the old convict ne-
gro was back in his own home, with
his wife and his "foah chillun," and
was working on his farm.
At a recent meeting of the Society
Hogg, of | for the Study of Inebriety Dr. Tames
trip of in- j Steward, of Dunmurry Clifton, said
Ballard'H HnowLlnlment,
This Liniment is different in composi-
tion from any other liniirent on the mar-
ket. It Is a scientific discovery, which
results in its being the most penetrating
Liniment ever known. There are numer-
ous white imitations, which may be
recommended because they -pay the sel-
ler a gieater profit. Beware ot these and

that they could not too often, as scien-
tific men, protest against the use of
the words "drunkenness" and "ine-
briety" as if they were convertible
terms. M. Trelat had put the dif-
ference very clearly, thus:—"Drunk-
ards are people who drink when
they find anv opportunities of drink-
ing: dipsomaniacs are diseased
persons who get drunk whenever
the attack seizes them." Thp
lecturer gives the following sum-
mary of his views:
1. Drunkenness is a vice, inebrie-
ty a disease. The two terms must
not be confounded.
2. The disease of inebriety, once
established, may be transmitted to
the patient's offspring, either in the
form of the alcoholic diathesis,
epilepsy, chorea, insanity, or even
tendency to crime.
3. The child of an inebriate, born
after the functional or structural
lesion has been established, is sure
to inherit some nervous diathesis.
4 The only security against this
diathesis developing as inebriety is
by life-long total abstinence on the
part ot the child.
5. Even the adoption of this pre
caution will not absoli^tely make
certain that there will be; no trans-
mission ot the cachexia by the child
to his own or her own offspring.
6. To prevent the development of
the alcoholic neurosis in other direc-
tions,—such as epilepsy;—sudden
excitement ot the emotions' and sen-
sibilities, such as might be produced
by corporal punishment at the hands
of strangers, should in sill cases be
guarded against.
7. In the prophylaxis of inebriety
the principle to be acted upon with
regard to children's training is that,
if you accentuate the good, you at-
tenuate the evil.
8. The marriage of the child, or
even grandchild, of an \ inebriate to
a first cousin should be absolutely
interdicted.—The Medical Journal.

Saturday night Mr. J. B. Mills, a
farmer residing west of Denison on
the Little Mineral, suffered a severe
loss. His barn, two mules, about
600 bushels of corn, a quantity of
harness and farming utensils, to-
gether with a pen of fat hogs just
ready to kill, were destroyed by fire.
The fire was discovered about one
o'clock, and two men were seen run-
ning from the burning building. No
insurance. Mr. Mills succeeded in
getting one span of mules out of the
burning building, but their wounds
are so severe that it is hardly prob-
able that they will be saved.

Europe Growing Colder.
That the continent ot Europe is
passing through a cold period has
been pointed out by M. Flammarion,
the French astronomer. During the
past six years the mean temperature
of I*aris has been about two degrees
below the normal, and Great Britain,
Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria and
Germany have also been growing
cold. The change seems to have
been in progress in France tor
long time, the growth of the vine
having been forced far southward
since the thirteenth centuiy;and a
similar cooling has been observed as
tar away as Rio de Janeiro, where
the annual temperature has been go-
ing down for some years past.—

Plowed Them Up.
In Alexander county, N. C., the
farmers in plowing used to turn up
pretty grass green prisms which they
called "green bolts." Professor W.
E. Holden identified them as
emeralds, and in July 1S80, he start-
ed in to mine for them. He got
many emeralds, but also discoveredt
another kind of emerald green stone
unknown until then, which he namtd
"hiddenite." It occurred in slender
prisms. Digging for it has since
been carried on very profitable in
that f&fcditv.' By lapidaries it is
highly esreemed, and it has found
much use in jewelry. Seventy-four
emeralds were found in a single
"pocket," but most of them were
too badly flawed to have much value.

HOW JETTIES ARE BUILT.
Waverly Magazine.
The willows which grow along
the shores ot the Mississippi river
are of no use in the arts, but when it
comes to building a dam the engi-
neers find nothing that fills the bill
half as well as the humble willow.
It lines the shores and can be easily
reached from the barges whereon it
its transported, and if is so soft that
it is easily cut and handled. It is
woven into a great, long, continuous
mat. One end ot this is anchored
to the shore on one side of the chute
thai is to be dammed, and the pro-
cess of«, weaving is thence carried on
straight across the stretch of water
oh a peculiarly-shaped boat called a
grasshbpper. As fast as the mat is
woven on the grasshopper it slides
into the water at the lower end of
the inclined weaving rack, and it is
laden with rocks and carried straight
to the bottom, and this is copft|iued
until the opposite shore is reached.
The mat is then covered to the
proper depth, twelve to fiffeen
inches, with rock, and then another
mat, made in the same way, is
woven and laid down on top of the
first and similarly weighted down,
and this work is continued till the
dam has risen as high as it is intend-
ed to stand, the finishing being al
ways a heavy > coating of rock that
covers the willow and all. The wil-
low, always covered with water and
the mud that inevitably lodges
among the rocks of the dam, is kept
sealed airtight, and ot course does
not decay. It binds the rocks to-
gether and prevents the dam being
shoved out of place by ice or dis-
turbed by the pressure ot the current
at high water. It is good for no
other purpose save to hold a shore
that is washing away with its rocks,
and for dam construction it is super
latively the thing.

Junk 27, 1S74, to july 3.
Saturday night between two and
three o'clock the bakery of J. T.
Cornelius, on Burnett avenue, south
of the Southern hotel, was destroyed
by fire. It was thought to be the
work of an incendiary ;.„.A. Jami-
son was pastor of the Methodist
church in 1S74. At that time there
was only one Methodist church in
the city. A. J. Lyenberger was
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
and E. W. Gillian was the Episco-

twice a month, first and third Sun-
day's, at the Board of Trade rooms.

rested, tried and found guilty, at
Waco, charged with stealing a pahr
of mules, and was sentenced to the
state prison lor a number ot years.
The night the jury brought in its
verdict Posey escaped frbm the
guard, and soon thereafter organized
a party of desperate characters which
soon became a terror to the good
people of McLennan county. A re-
ward of $700 was placed on Posey's
head. On Monday, June 30, Offi-
cers Lee Hall, Bill Everhart, S. D.
Ball and _ W. K. Rector, with two
negro guides, went out 20 miles
into the country from Muskogee, 1.
T., and surrounding a' house cap-
tured Posey, and on thffe following
day he was lodged in jail, at Sher-
man. The officers secreted them-
selves in Posey's stable and as he
rode into the lot he was covered
with double barrel shot guns. At
first the desperado was disposed to
draw his pistol but a moment's re-
flection convinced him that to do so
would be instant death so he threw
up his hands and surrendered
Wednesday evening city officers ar-
rested a desperate character by the
name of George Lee and while
handcuffs were being placed on the
fellow's wrists he made a bold break
for liberty and despite a fussillade
of pistol shots made good his escape

nald, proprietor of the Southern
hotel, retired as usual in a room in
the building, corner of Main street
and Austin avenue. On arising the
following morning he found that
his money drawer had been forced
open and all the cash, about $150,
was missing. About $3 in silver
was also missing from his pant's
pockets. Mayor Edward Perry ten-
dered to the council his resignation

Washington, d. C.,
Jan. S, 1S94.
St. Andrew Jackson's Day finds
many democrats of the house in a
predicament where they may well
ask "where am I at?" The first
four days of congress contained a
succession of surprises for the aver-
age democrat, in the continued fail-
ure to get a quorum of democrats in
the house to vote for the resolution
reported from the committee on
Rules making the Wilson tariff bill
a special continuing order until
January 25, when a final vote is to
betaken thereon. That some dem-
ocrats were opposed to certain sche-
dules in the bill was,, ot course,
known, but that any considerable
number of them would carry their
opposition to the extent of declining
to attend the session of the house in
order to make up a voting quorum
of democrats, in order to prevent
the bill being taken up, was certain-
ly not beltevtd until the fact was
made so plain that it could no longer
be doubted.
The names ot 57 democratic
members ot the house have been
published as opposing the personal
income tax and as none of them have
entered a denial it is fair to assume
that the list published was correct.
This may account for the seeming
sudden increase ot the democratic
opposition to the tariff bill, but the
income tax is not vet a part ot the
tariff bill and indeed may never be,
as there is a probability, amounting
almost to a certainty, that the Ways
and Means committee will report it
to the house as a separate and dis-
tinct bill to stand or fall on its own
merits, instead ot offering it as an
amendment of the tariff bill.
The democratic caucus while it
did not specifically endorse the tariff
bill, did so indirectly without a di-
vision when it adopted Speaker
Crisp's resolution, that it was the
duty of every democratic member of
the house to vote tor the resolution
from the committee on Rules pro-
viding for the consideration of the
tariff bill; also to attend the daily
sessions in order that pressing pub-
lic business might be attended to;
but the trouble, or at least a portion
of it, arises from the fact that only a
few more than two-thirds of the
democratic members of the house
attended the caucus and |hat those
who did not attend do not regard
the resolution as binding on them.
It any democrats were benefitted by
this cross pulling it would be more
excusable, but they are only playing
into the hands of the republicans
who are openly exulting over the
present deplorable condition ot af-
fairs.
Steps have been taken—orders
i sued for the airest ot absentees—
which it is believed wil] result in
bringing to Washington this week
every democratic member ot the
House who is well enough to come,
and the party leaders are confident
that they can get and keep a quorum
ot democrats until the tariff bill is
passed. We shall see.
All of the old Hawaiian straw
has been rethreshed since the news
arrived via Auckland that the ex-
queen of Hawaii had agreed to the
conditions first submitted to her and
that Minister Willis had in accord-
ance with his original instructions
requested the provisional govern-
ment to retire in her favor, and that
the provisional government had de-
clined to do so. President Cleve-
land has later dispatches which
came from Hawaii by the steamer
Corwin, but neither he nor Secre-
tary Gresham has made their nature
public. Whether they confirm the
Aukland dispatch is not positively
known, but from remarks of demo-
cratic congressmen who have seen
the president since he received them
it is inferred that they do. Either
way it would not change the situa-
tion at all, as Minister Willis had
positive instructions not to use force
to bring about the change, a fact ot
which Minister Thurston, who is
now in Hawaii, was well aware be-
fore he left Washington and which
of itsell made it almost certain that
there would be no change, unless
the provisional government volun-
tarily retires.
Attorney General Olney had a
little fun the other day with a dele-
gation of republicans from Kansas,
headed by Representative Curtis,
which called on him in the interest
of Colonel Jones who wants to be
U. S. marshal. While he did not
say so in so many words the attor-
ney general left the impression upon
his callers' minds that republican
influence is not calculated to im-
I
prove any democrat's chance for
getting an appointment under the
department of justice. The Kan-
sans lett in doubt as to whether they
had injured the prospects ot Colonel
Jones, and certain that they had not
improved them.
Representative Pendleton, , of
Texas, has introduced a free coin-
agerbill, making the average price
of gold and silver for sixty days
from November 1, 1894, the legal
ratio between the two metals, on
and after Jan. 1, 1895.
The bill for the repeal of the fed-
eral election laws will* be taken up
in the senate to-morrow, and it is
expected that it will be passed with-
in the next three weeks, the under-
standing being that the republicans
are not to filibuster against it.
