the fact that the dealers are com-

allowed to express some candid re-
marks conoeming them. The farm-
era have allowed the walking dele-
gates, loud-mouthed labor Agitators
nnd tramps from the cities to exer-
cise an undue influence upon them.
The farmers are too decent and re-
spectable to have any dealings what-
ever with these fellows of the baser
sort, who have led them to believe
that they have some

and cotton. This practice should
have passed away with slavery, but
the consequence is that

cord estimates that between Feb. 1
and Aug-1 of last year over 900,000
carloads «f early fruits and vegsta-
tables were shipped North, netting
at least 4100 per cac, taking the
highest and lowest prices as a base
of computation, making the return
to the South for its truck and Jraiit
business iully thirty millions.

The Dallas JNews more than once
has fallen into the error of calling
Michigan the "wolverine" state.
Chat is the appellation by which
Wisconsin is dubbed, if we s
not, although it is sometimes called
the "badger" state. Michigan is the
"peninsula" state.
The Methodist general conference
at its recent meeting in New York

that it does not impose life Vows of
celibacy and retirement from the

The proceedings of congress con-
tinue to be stale, fiat and devoid of
interest. Nothing of any interest
or of an exciting nature whatever
has transpired in several days, and
nothing is likely to until after the
gathering of the republican clans at
Chicago.

the cause of the absence of collars or

army in San Salvador pass in review be-
fore its chief, i could not help thinking
of the major's remark to poor Ensign
Clutterbuck. "Ensign Cltftterbuck," said
he, "I am no friend to extravagance, bat

But wait till Sunday, when the city's
militia is marched through the streets in
columns of four—platoon marching is
never attempted, and "company froitf"
is unheard of. Ute militia comprises
everybody, from the one who has not
enough money to avoid it, down to the
one who is too low on tbe social ladder
to carry a gun. Hero you have tho
sidcly looking drug cleric, the editor of
the opposition paper, the fat butcher, and
the stooping cobbler marching side by
aid*; and, queerly enough, many seem
to have toothaches, for nearly half have
their Jaws tied op ia cotton handker-
chiefs. This service is net intended as

right Shoulder, and at every angle under

stones—up bill and down—after their
little German band. From the sbse at
the privates one would suggest popguns
as appropriate, but instead they are armed
with heavy Remingtons with the bayonets
always Ixed. When the captains bring
their companies to a rest they leave the
guns at scarry, and the privates are fools
enough to to think it's all right
Mot many days ago, on the arrival of
the president in town, the artillery
brought out two small Fourth of July
looking cannon to fire him a salute <*
two guns. One gunner was in a hurry
to discharge bis piece first, and in his
haste he blew off the right arm of No. 1
the sponge and rammer staff
through a German dry goods store on
the other side of the plaza. This was
explained as a mistake in tactics. There
is no trouble ia Central America about
the "three battalion organization" or
any other organisation, because tho army
don't know what organization is. The
slowness of promotion, that fruitful
theme at the frontier post and of the
'■Letters to the Editor," is a thing un-
known; privates are always privates and
generals are always generals on $300 a
month, at a discount of 30 per
when there is money in the
pay them.—New York Times.

party a vast rose bush covered with beau-

to each at the guests, the ice creftm being
enshrined in the heart of each blossom.
