Already Clark is charged with
having said the press was “venal,” but
it is denied by the Waco Day. Mr.

The Industrial Educator of Fort
Worth mentions the fact that Col. B.
J. Cha nbers has a book in print on
“Interpretation of the Prophecies,” and
seems to think its publication will
mark an epoch in the literature of the
age. The colonel’s book is not in-
tended as a humorous work, but we’ll
lay a small wager that one may find
between its covers much to excite
hilariousness.
This peep into futurity and horoscop-
ing the “elimination” of Mills reminds
one of the tender-hearted maiden who
shed a river of tears because she might
one day get married and then, she
might have a son, ai.d the son might
get drowned and be brought home
to her a cold, wet, clamy corpse.
“Just to think,” exclaimed one of
the nearly weeping young women to
her physician, “1 had shell a iong,
slender hand, and was the envy of
that nasty Miss Q., whenever visit-
ors in the office gazed on admiringly
at my fingers dancing over the keys.
Even my employer used to smile ap-
provingly, as he glanced over his
papers, at my nimble, tampering
fingers. And now”-
Slie had to bite her lip to keep the
tears back.
Her tale of woe was repeated sadly
by many young women to their doc-
tors and to their bosom friends. The
male typewriters have also become
as alarmed as their sister profes
sionais. Probably 500 typewriters in
Philadelphia have become thus un-
happily afflicted, and the rest are
growing rapidly panic stricken. The
public in general must feel an interest
in wondering whether the affection
is liable to spread and with the use
of typewriters themselves give rise
to a future generation whieli shall
be all thumbs and no fingers.—Phila
delphia Record.
Cultivation of Ituniie.
A plant proposed as a substitute
for cotton is ramie. It is cultivated
for the fiber of its bark, which when
properly prepared is long, silky, du-
rable and very beautiful. The yield
also is large under favorable condi
tious. But these conditions are a
warm climate (semitropical) and very
rich soil—mainly alluvial soil. These
limit its cultivation to certain regions.
It could not be cultivated with any
profit on ’ the poorer grades of land
on which so much of the cotton crop
is grown. While ramie will grow
successfully on very rich soil only,
it also makes extraordinarily heavy
demands upon the soil.
The richest land is soon exhausted
by it unless constant restitution of
plant food is made. When success
fully grown and large yields ob
tamed three or four cuttings are
made in one season, amounting to
some 20,000 or more pounds of dry
matter per acre. The removal of so
large a quantity of almost any kind
of vegetable growth from an acre
must, of necessity, take away a great
deal of its plant food. But ramie
takes more proportionally than other
textile plants.—Southern Farm.
Barney Gibbs has received so much
“unshirted sheol” since he started out
to down Mills that it would make any
one but a man with a cast iron con-
science hang his head in shame. Gov.
Hogg says although his business inter-
ests will suffer, he will make the sacri-
fice and stand for governor again. The
people could well afford to let him stay
at home and attend to his business,
for he has nearly destroyed the business
interests of Texas—Marlin Ball.
The Gazette thought it would come
to that. Here is the Houston Post
a supporter of Mr. Mills, denying that
there is anything in free silver, and a
whole troop of Mills’ organs in the
state assert the same thing in their
latest issues. The wink has at last
taken effect.—Fort Worth Gazette.
If there is something in it, why
don’t you produce some argument to
that effect. Your broad assertions
amount to nothing. That day has
about passed in Texas when bold
assertions are taken for argument.
Mr. G. C. Fahm has bought a half
interest in the Alvarado Bulletin. Ed-
itor Baillio has, within a very short
time, become known and respected
throughout Texas as one of the most
brilliant young journalists in the state.
It is hard to conceive of improvement
in diction, vigor, style or make-up
of that, perhaps, best of Texas coun-
try weeklies. Mr. Fahm returns to
his first love, he having once owned
the Bulletin. May the paper grow
and prosper.
Texas is t,o be congratulated over
the fact that money does not make a
statesman in the eyes of her citizens,
nor does an income running into seven
figures make an ambitious politician
elegible for the United States senate
Could we add to this, truthfully, that
Texans were deaf to the sham and
hollowness of demagogy as practiced
by the latter day saints of democracy,
what a model state we would have.

Fort Worth Gibbsette wig-wag, it will

Grapes and Truck.
Great things were promised us
under the regime ot Hogg. The rail-
roads were to be regulated, corpora-
tions of all kinds, were to be kept in
due bounds, tmsts were to find Texas
a rough abiding place, prosperity,
peace and plenty were to smile on us,
under the guiding hand and argus eye
of the new political Moses ; but, alack
the luck ! at no time in the history ol
the state has there been such univer-
sal discontent over glowing promises
unfulfilled. Every sensible voter knew
that Hogg could not deliver the goods,
that his promises were wind; but his
wheedling promises and monumental
assurance landed the mullet-headed
majority—the Chronicle included_

Hon. J. S. Hogg!
It is almost beyond belief that people
living in a country such as this, where
grapes and other small fruit grow so
readily and so abundantly, should send
thousands of dollars annually to Cali-
fornia for the very things that can be
easily produced at their own doors.
The people of the south have always
thought too little of little things.
Truck farmigg. fruit growing and mar-
ket gardening they have considered
beneath their notice, and so have too
frequently allowed their markets to be
supplied with such products shipped
from other states, where, though the
soil was not so well adapted to their
production, the people were readier to
see the profit in them. The Brazos
bottoms offer the best inducements to
those who prosper by supylying Waco
tables with choice vegetables, and the
high ground lying back from the low-
lands are most excellently adapted to
the growing of grapes and other fruits.

What a glorious year this is for de-

add to the growth and usefulness of the
cities and towns? There is only one

How the liutterfly Is Protected.
Until lately it was not recognized
that the brilliant coloring on the
wings of some kinds of butterflies
was a bitter tasting pigment, which
to a certain extent protects those
species from being eaten by their
foes. Frogs will try to eat sulphur
butterflies, and after tasting them
will promptly reject them. The
brilliant colors may be produced in
order to advertise the nauseous taste,
as well as to aid the butterfly in at
tracting a mate of its own kind. We
may be equally ignorant of the latent
social powers, of birds.—London

Upon these lots a new village soon
sprang up, and conspicuous among
the houses was that of the minister.
The Rev. Peter Hobart had cast his
lot with a people who had forsaken
home and country for what Wirt still
dearer to them religious liberty.
fen years elapsed. Newcomers
nad increased the village to a consid-
erable size and Mr. Hobart’s eougre
gation was augmented in proportion.
In those days “the minister” was a
little king, and woe to the refractory
subject who disputed his behest.
‘The minister” held in his hands a
-denier punishment than the stocks
ur tlm whipping post. He held, like
St. Peter, the keys of heaven, and re-
fractory culprits could he threatened
at any time with being shut from its
Rates.
Still Mr. Hobart lived pleasantly
and quietly with his people; and they
loved and respected him and his
family. Indeed Mrs. Hobart and her
four little sons were the objects of a
very strong interest to the good peo-
ole of Hingham. and the feeling ex
tended to his niece. Dorothea Win
Chester, whom he had brought from
Eugland as a child.
Dorothea was betrothed to Anthony
Fames, a young man of some stand
mg in the colony. He had been a
deputy in the general court; was a
lieutenant in the militia and prom-
ised to he one of the leading men of
the day. His intended wife was a
very lovely giri. Educated by her
mi- !e, who had adopted her, in the
same studies she would have pursued
nad she chanced to have been a boy,
she was unfitted for the society of
the simple, unlearned women of the
times, yet, so amiable and gentle,
that none of them were troubled be
cause of her superiority.
’ tter sweet? low voice afld kindly
face made friends for her every
where. None appealed to her in
vain for help or counsel in any mat-
ter of domestic doings. She sewed
for the old and the poor, watched
with the sick and carried food for
the hungry. Little children “plucked
her gown to share her smile.” and
old people blessed her wherever her
sbado\v crossed them upon the road.
Minister Hobart was blessed in his
niece, most certainly. He thought
so every time he saw her engaged in
these works of charity to his parish
loners - every time he heard her
sweet voice as she sang in meeting
every time that she led out the
four little hoys, destined afterward
to he ministers of the gospel, giving
then weary mother an hour’s timely
rest.
Indeed. Dorothea was the light of
the parsonage as she was of Lienten
ant Earnes eyes; and surely the tall,
handsome young man was as devoted
to nei as the shy, reserved ways of
that period permitted him to be.
Such were the cautious, quiet man
tiers of the Puritans that the inter
course of the young people was neces
sari I v limited to a very constrained
and unfamiliar conversation. Butin
spite of forms or conventionalities
the heart itself must speak out, and
we fancy there were times when
those of Anthony Earnes and the
minister’s niece came into a very full
understanding of the feelings of
each.
At all events, the girl was not long
in discovering whether her lover was
gay or gloomy, and one night when
they met, as usual, upon the rock
above the beach, with the full light
of a harvest moon across the waves,
she knew by the quick, hurried
breathing of her lover and the com
pressed look about his mouth that he
was in trouble. She was not long
either in extracting the cause.
There had been trouble between
him atid a iBSaten ..fiMmed Allen on ax-
count of a military commission.
Eames had been the favorite of the
company m which he had served as
lieutenant, and had been chosen as
captain and presented to be comniis
sioned. Some enemy had arisen,
however, and Allen, who had gTeat
influence in town affairs, was select-
ed. The company paraded under
Allen. The subject was referred, as
everything was then, to the church.
The majority of this body, and un
fortunately the pastor with them,
preferred Allen.
This was unaccountable to Eames.
who had fancied himself secure in
the affections of the minister as he
was in those of the minister’s niece.
Eames had made complaint to the
magistrates, who had met in Boston
and issued warrants against five per
sons who had been said to make
willful misrepresentations against
Eatnes. and had caused him to be
threatened with excommunication
from the church - a punishment
which, as I have hinted, was thought
in those days to be nearly equivalent
to being turned away from the gates
of heaven.
Dorothea was bewildered with this
terrible news. That it should have
progressed thus far, and that she
should never have heard it until now.
seemed incredible. Her uncle, usual
ly so communicative, had been per1
fectly silent upon the matter, as in
deed he well might be, when he was
voluntarily-helping to injure the best
sides, what had her lover ever done ?
He had niereiy accepted a trust im
poked upon him by the loving hearts
of his soldiers, who had desired him
to hold the best rank. Fie bad ac-
cepted it and was naturally averse,
as any noble man would have been,
to be displaced by caprice or envy.
Then the affair with the church
had bowed him to the dust, notwith-
standing his conscious innocence;
and. saddest of all. when Mr. Hobart
had joined the ranks of the enemy,
the measure seemed too full of dis-
tress. Yet he was a brave man, and
he knew that after the first surprise
and bitterness was past be could ral-
ly from despair and become himself
biice hi dm Besides this Lieutenant
Eames was a deeply reiigioils man,
and if it was (foci’s will that he
should be brought down in the hour
of his pride he would bow humbly
before it,
AH these things passed in review
before the lovers as they sat watch-
ing the long, shining gieam upon
the Waves. Dorothea, though deeply
moved at the unexpected course of
her uncle, was still firm to sustain
the courage and resolution of her j son, of
lover. " I bourne.
"Be of good cheer, Anthony
Eames,
sons -that his spirit had been discov-
ered to be adverse to our ecclesias-
tical and civil government, and he
was a bold man and would speak his
mind (”
Such a repulse front such a source
almost broke the minister’s heart.
Like Wolsey’s, his “high blown pride
at length broke under him.” The1
minister, as may be believed, went
home far more humble than he had
left it. Subdued to greater tender
ness than ever before he lost no time
in seeking Anthony Eames and re-
pairing his error toward him.
And Dorothea now? felt the full
happiness of having refrained from
vexing that spirit which her uncle
had unwisely manifested. She knew
that although erring, the minister’s
was a noble nature still, and when
ills excuse was pleaded by so lovely
ah intercessor, Anthony Eames was
not slow to forgive.
When the spring came it smiled
upon as happy a pair as ever won hap-
piness through previous sorrow.—

ward advised, when accompanying
the elders to give advice upon public-
affairs, to retire from the court, the
governor giving as a reason that Mr
Hobart was apt to oppose public
authority.
The pastor returned home with
this rebuke sounding dftearily in bis
ears. To crown his vexation, An
thony Eames was in his home and
Dorothea was evidently preparing to
go out with him. Tine girl had ab
stained from all reproach, either by
word or behavior, to trouble the
humbled minister. She went about
cheerfully, performing all the offices
that she bad hitherto undertaken
with unabated good will.
But it vexed him that she grew
pale, and that her beautifully fitting
dresses had grown all too wide for
her shrunken figure. Dorothea was
evidently failing, and he could not
conceal it from himself, although he
tried hard to do so. that he was the
means of it. Even to her aunt—a
meek, timid woman, who had always
been overborne by the strong current

even to her Dorothea never named
the name of her lover. When hei:
uncle left the house she received his
visits or went wherever he asked her
to go with him, their most frequent
’visits being made at his mother’s
house.
But the greatest trial of the minis-
ter was to come in the shape of a
visit to Boston. One of his friends,
who had upheld him in opposing the
government, was to be married at
Boston, and was anxious to have Mr.
Hobart perform the ceremony. Will-
ing to change, the scene to one where
he would not be continually remind
ed of the late occurrences', he went
there with more apparent cheerful
ness than he had felt for a longtime.
He forgot for a time his annoy-
ances, and was again the pleasant
and almost mirth loving minister.
He was to stay over the Sabbath, and
his self respect seemed entirely re-
stored when a Boston clergyman in-
vited him to preach for him on that
day. The world did not seem against
him after all. The Rev. Peter Ho-
bart was yet something more than a
mere cipher. He looked out his two
best sermons, of which he had
brought perhaps a dozen or two, al-
though not expecting an invitation-
had gone to the extent of having his
hail- cut by a Boston barber and had
put on his new coat.
Alas! how worse than vain are
worldly honors. So thought the
minister of Hingham when ha re-
ceived a hint that amounted to a
command from the magistrates de-
siring him to forbear preaching in
Boston, “for this, among other rea-(|
any children she knows of a-growin
up.” She has no need to be ashamed
when she looks back on her work 01
to fear for her reward in the future.

A story is told of a woman in
mourning and heavily veiled, for
whom room was made in a crowded
railway car in a seat with another-
woman. The curiosity of the lattsn-
was aroused by the evidently fresh
and deep black of her companion,
which curiosity presently found
voice.
“Lost a friend, I take it?” she be
gan. A nod replied to her.
“Near relative. 1 guess?” Another
nod, followed by a brief silence.
“Mother, perhaps?” A shake of the
veiled head met this question.
“Son or daughter, maybe?” A sec-
ond shake, somewhat more vigorous,
signified denial and rising impatience.
“Husband, then?” confidently. A
short nod brought a complacent ex
pression to the iuq nisi tor’s face. For
some minutes she was satisfied, then
she hitched about uneasily in her
seat. There was more she felt she
ought to know. The silent figure
felt it coining and waited. Finally
it came:
“Professor?” A short nod.
“Life insurance?” Another short
nod. with annoyed emphasis.
“Well, then, what’re you so veiled
up for? He's all right and you too.”

Her Point of View in New York
Times.
Tlie Decline of Politeness.
One reason for the decline of polite
ness is found in the fact that wealth
now pushes itself everywhere, and
cultured society suffers by the intro
duction of persons whose only claim
to -recognition, is that they have made
money.
Making money does not necessarily
make a man vulgar, but pushing
does. Yet even this change is not
altogether deplorable. It is this na
tional push that has filled the wilder
ness with cities and turned deserts
into cornfields. And in a progress
almost revolutionary in its pace, there
has been no time to keep the hat in
the hand and to be picturesque and
elegant. Most social evils are re
trievable, unless women take part in
them; but in the general decline of
politeness women are undeniably “in
the transgression. ” They have airily
permitted that indescribable moral
phenomenon called “the tone of so
ciety” to be lowered.
The habits of gregarious fastness
have been constantly more daring
and reckless. In the middle classes,
women have gradually identified
their work with the work of men.
and in this social disturbance the
most delicate graces of life are being
lost. —Amelia E. Bair in Lippincott’s
