If the Populists carry out their

a Presidential ticket in 1900,
they should not overlook the

the longest whiskers ever worn
by man.

In the library of Glasgow Uni
vereity there is a rhyming Bible
the work of an eccentric divine
Zacary Boyd. He conceived the
idea of rondering the Sacred
Book in rhyme. He gave full
play to his imagination, and pro
duced a work of much interest
and curiosity, though it has
never been printed.
Twenty yews ago, j. C.
Hutchins (known to his friends
as "Jerre") and the editor of the
Denison Herald were reporters
on rival newspapers in Waco,
and of him the Herald says:
Jerre had "horse sense;" he
married, quit newspaper work
and begun railroading as a sec-
tion boss. Step by step he
climbed up the ladder, until now
he is vice-president of the Citi-
zens' Street Railway company of
Detroit, Mich. The Free Press
of that city prints a speech -de-
livered by Jerre at a dinner
given in honor of Don M. Dick-
inson. The portion of general
interest to Southern people is
here presented:
Kindly reference has been
made to the fact of my Southern
birth. It has come I/j be known
that an American, whether born
in some other land or in some
other part of his own land, is riot
on these accounts either an alien
or a stranger. My forefathers
wore the buff uniform of colonial
soldiers. That uniform is, there-
fore my heritage. The mind of
the gentleman, in his allusions to
my birthplace, probably turned
to thoughts of the civil war. The
battles of that great war were
fought long ngo. I was too
young to take any part in them;
and yet I am of a generation
'whose feet already begin to
tread the slope that leads down
to the valley.' The men of my
mother's family went out to that
war from the hills of Pennsyl-
vania in the blue uniform of Un-
ion soldiers. Some of these men
now sleep at Gettysburg and
Vicksburg. That uniform, there-
fore, is also my heritage. My
father wore the gray uniform of
a Confederate soldier. My chief
legacy from him is that ho wore
that uniform as becomes a sol
dier and a gentleman. He has
long since crossed over to the
other side and now 'rests under
the shade of the trees' with Lee
and Grant, and Sherman and
Pope, and Stonewall Jackson
and thousands of other brave
spirits who respected him in life
and are now joined with him in
the bonds of a common immor
tality. Just as my own family
have been aligned in these dif
ferent ranks, just so is it in some
measure of kinship with every
American family. I have learned
that an American is among his
own people and his own kindred
in whatever part of this great
country his lot may be cast. The
story I shall tell to the genera-
tion following me is the same
story that will be told to count
less generations while time lasts
It is the story that the buff and
the blue and the gray are all
alike the heritage of our nation.'

Gen. Thomas N. Waul, the
venerable soldier, lawyer, and
farmer of Hunt county, is visit
ing Galveston on legal business
The General is now in his 85th
year and is said to be as straight
and soldierly as when he com
manded the famous "Waul's Le
gion," during the late unpleas
* antness. Ho and his good wife
celebrated their diamond wed-
ding over a year ago, having
been married over sixty-one
years.
Fifteen thousand employes of
the Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain railroad system, whose
salaries were cut from 5 to 20
per cent in 1803, owing to the
prevailing hard times, have been
made glad by a proclamation is-
sued by President Gould, restor-
ing wages to their former basis.
The men whose salaries were cut
included offioials, office men, en-
gineers, conductors, trainmen,
telegraph operators, station
agents and machinists Their
salaries range from $30 a month
to $10,000 a year. About 3,000
employes live or have headquar-
ters in Si. Louis. Five hundred
clerks are employed in the audi-
tors office, and 400 in the, general
offices. The remainder of the
3,000 are in the yards and freight
depots. _
The action of the Arkwright
club at its meeting in Boston last
week, urging the need of an im-
provement in the present system
ol handling and bailing cotton,
has bad the effect of agitating
this matter throughout the cot-
ton trade generally and of em-
phasizing the unsatisfactory
conditions now prevailing. That
cotton does not receive the care
to which a crop of such value is
entitled is admitted by practi-
cally every interest concerned in
handling it, but in spite of fre-
quent complaints and repeated
efforts to bring about an im-
provement the staple continues
to come into the market in poor
coition. * The question has
been discussed so many times
with but little apparent result
that many are inclined to think
that further effort is useless.
Thtre ia more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diaeaaea put to

peaed to b« iocurabla. For a great many
yeara doctors pionounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Bcience has proven
catarrh to bo a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

This is n fruitful cause of trouble in

and the umbrellas rolled and set

and they are apt to return the uui

In discussing the existing rela
tions of gold and silver the
National Review says: "The
audacious and unexampled attack
made upon silver twenty-five
years ago, tho endeavor to
revolutionize tho world's measure
of value in favor of creditors and
against producers by exoluding
that metal from its old place as
the equal colleague of gold, has
created a divergence between the
fwo metals unexampled in modern
history, from which divergence
endless confusion and suffering
and injustice has arisen. By
halving the supply of money it
has been sought to double its
value, so halving of property and
produce, and doubling the weight
of debts."
