It appears that gambling is fast dyiug
out in the West under the strict laws of
the several States. New Orleans is about
the only city where gaming establish
ments are licensed. In other places the
frequency of raids by the police and the
strictness of Judges and juries are making
the keeping of gaming houses a danger
ous, if not unprofitable, business. The
heaviest gambling this summer is carried
on by the semi-professional swells at
Lorn: Branch and other Eastern watering
places.
It seems that Secretary Chandler’s am

to be Senator Blair’s successor. It may
be well supposed, however, that the re
cent overwhelming Democratic victory in
Portsmouth will dampen his hopes con
siderably. New Hampshire is too close a
State for the Republicans to bank on very
Jteavily.
The Melon Growing Industry.
An article in another column signed
“Observer” calls attention to the great
work of the railroads in assisting to de
velop the melon growing industry in
Florida and Southern Georgia. “Ob
server’s” argument is that it would not
be possible to grow melons for the North
ern and Westei n markets in the localities
mentioned if it were not for the facilities
afforded by the railroads for marketing
the crop. This is all very true, but what
is “Observer's” purpose in calling atten
tion to and enlarging upon things
that are so generally under
stood and admitted!’ There is
no occasion for reiterating the fact that
the railroads, as soon as the truck far
mers were ready to furnish the freight,
ready to furnish the cars. There has
been no complaint about the facilities pro
vided by the railroads for transporting the
melons, or that, as a rule, the melons
have not been transported expeditiously
and safely. *
But this does not touch the question
at issue. The question is. Can the
melon growers afford to raise melons
at the prices they receive and pay the
present freight rates and commissions?
They say they cannot, or at least
a very large majority of them say
so, if they have been correctly reported.
Their experience during the season just
closed was far from encouraging. In
some instances expenses were not paid.
Cases were reported where the returns on
a car load of melons did not pay freight
charges and commissions.
There is no way, of course, to control the
market. That depends to some extent
upon the quality of the melons, but main
ly upon the supply. The questions which
present themselves are these: Can the
railroads afford to carry melons at a re
duced rate, and can commission mer
chants handle them for a smaller commis
sion? Il they cannot it is probable that
the melon growing industry will decline
rather than increase. The growers will
uot continue, season after season,
making a crop which, except in rare in
stances, does not pay them. What good
is it to the growers if they raise $500,000
or even $1,900,000 worth of melons every
season if none of the money finds its way
into their ]cket6, or only enough of it to
reimburse them for their actual outlay?
They are still out of pocket to the extent
of the interest on their investments and
their labor.
The growers ought to invite the rail
roads to meet them in conference. A
frank expression of opinion from all the
parties interested might be productive of
good results. We do not know whether the
railroads can afford to carry melons for a
less rate or not. They are much better ac
quainted with their own business than
any outsider can possibly be. If they can
make a reduction, and still realise a rea
sonable profit, they certainly ought to do
it. A small profit is better than no profit,
and it looks as if the time were not dis
tant when there would be no profit, and,
in fact, no income whatever, of conse
quence, from melon freights unless some
thing is done to encourage the growers.
I’, would give the growers a chance if the
railroads were to charge, instead of so
much per car load, a percentage of the
gross receipts. The growers would then
always he certain of something. It is to
be hojed that before another season some
arrangement will be made that will help
the melon growing business.
Beecher Sticks to Cleveland.
It appears to be definitely settled that
Beecher will support Cleveland. For
several days the Northern and Western
papers showed more anxiety to find out
whether or not Beecher intended to sup
port Cleveland than about any other mat
ter connected with the campaign. Almost
as soon as Cleveland was nominated
Beecher, who is a Republican, announced
his purpose to vote for him. He said he
could not advocate the election of Blaine
because he looked on him as a dangerous
man. Cleveland’s record as a reformer
pleased him, and his independent, con
scientious discharge of his duties as Gov
ernor *f New York was all that could be
desired. Soon the Buffalo scandal began
to l>e circulated. Letters from clergymen
begging him to reconsider bis decision ,on
the ground that Cleveland was an im
moral man, began to be received by him.
There were so many of these let
ters, and some of them were so
urgent, that they made Beecher
sick. He wrote to a friend in Kansas
that if the charges against Cleveland
were true he should abandon him. The
newspapers got hold of this letter and
then the reporters took hold of Beecher.
They beseiged him at bis Peekskill resi
dence and worried him so that be hardly
knew what he said. In one paper he was
quoted as saying one thing and in another
paper something entirely different. No
wonder he got sick. He determined to
have the charges investigated by those in
whom he had entire confidence. It
6eems that the investigation was made
and Beecher was satisfied. He thinks
he can consistently support Cleveland. A
special from Peekskill, dated Aug. 6, to
the Brooklyn Union reports him as say
ing; “I have been undergoing a judicial
process. I have been way down in the
mud, but now the clouds are breaking
away, and I am beginning to understand
that these stories about Gov. Cleveland
are untrue and a vile slander. You can
say that 1 expect to brand the men who
have promulgated them as blackmailers
and liars; for I now expect the Governor
acted the part of a man in this affair. I
shall take the stump for him, and tell the
people ot this country that they must
elect him President. I shall enter this
campaign with an enthusiasm second only
to that with which I entered the war.
Take my word for it, this scandal, if false,
will make Gov. Cleveland President.”
Blaine’s YVestern Organ.
The leading Blaine paper in the West is
the Chicago Tribune. It is, perhaps,
Blaine’s most unscrupulous organ. It
has worked the Cleveland scandal for all
that it is worth, and it holds Blaine up as
a model Christian statesman. This same
paper, however, under the same manage
ment, no longer ago than 1876 spoke of
Blaine as follows:
* * The man [Blaine] who had
V'.ted for or failed to oppose every subsidy
of either land or money asked tor while
he was in Congress. They knew him as
a lobbyist before he entered Congress,
seeking contracts for the supply of arms.
Thev knew him while in Congress and
while Speaker as the inside friend of wild
cat corporations, ruling as Speaker to
save their hills, and as claiming reward
for his oflieial action, as engaged in selU
ing the worthless bonds of such corpora
tions, receiving large gratuities theretor,
as confessed in his letters: and finally,
when pecuniarily involved, getting the
Pacific Railroad Company, as it seems al
most certain, to give him $64,000 cash lor
what was not worth 64,000 cents. Is this
the record of a reformer? Of a man to
purify the administration and to raise the
standard of political and official morality ?
Such a paper ought not to have auy in
fluence. What it says ought not to have
any weight. If Blaine was not fit to be
President in 1876, why is he fit in 184?
Can the Tribune answer that question?
Of course he isn’t the man to give the
country pure government. Make him
President and the country will witness
the most corrupt administration it has
ever known.
The Buffalo Courier gives a little sketch
of Rev. G. 11. Ball, who is responsible for
the scandal about Gov. Cleveland. It
says: “From statements made to the
Courier there is reason to describe the
gentleman as a sort of political striker.
Two years ago he received $25 from the
Democratic County Committee, and sup
ported Gov. Cleveland. Subsequently he
got $250 trom Senator Titus and s’2so from
County Treasurer Jones, as he repre
sented himself as a worker among the
independent Republicans. I inally he ap
plied to Mr. Scoville for funds in reward
tor promised political service, but he was
sent curtly about his business. Facts of
this sort 6eem to justify the character of
the. Rev. Mr. Ball given in letters from
prominent Buffalonians that have been
finding their way into print in different
parts of the country.” When a man be
comes a political striker he-ought to take
the honorable “Rev.” off his name.
New York will have a convention of
American bankers next week. It ought
to get Gen. Grant to deliver an address on
what he knows about fin&nc iering.
Prejudice Against the Negro.
The Northern Republicans are very
anxious to control the colored vote, but
they are not willing to give colored men
offices. In fact, the white people of the
North have such a prejudice against col
ored people that they dislike to admit
them to any position which seems to
recognize them as anything but servants.
For instance, a day or two ago a coal
black negro of good address and fair
education, was appointed assistant
weigher in the Philadelphia cus
tom house. When he went on the
wharves to weigh iron, that was being
discharged from a steamer, the men who
were taking out the cargo hooted him
and could with difficulty be restrained
from pitching him into the river. He is
the first negro who has held so prominent
a position at the Philadelphia custom
house. The inspectors and other weighers
are greatly dissatisfied at having their
ranks invaded by a negro, and some
of them openly threaten him with
violence. It is a fact worthy of notice
that the negro gets along better with the
Southern people than with the people of
the North. Northern Republicans, how
ever, can be depended on to howl about
the rights of the negro as long as there is
any chance to control his vote. The col
ored voters are of great importance this
year. It seems to be admitted that they
hold the balance of power in several of
the doubtful States. This would be an
excellent time lor them to show how great
their power is by abandoning the party
that has used them so long.
Gov. Cleveland has right ideas about
politics and the duties of a citizen. At
the Ogdensburg, N. Y., fair being called
on for a speech, he consented to make a
few remarks, in the course of which he
said in substance that “the people must
get over the idea that politics is a disrepu
table game, beneath the dignity of an
honoraole man, fit only for those who have
axes to grind; that if the people would
have good government they must interest
themselves in the matter, selecting
proper men for nominees and voting only
for bonest and able candidates. Politics
is neither dirty nor dishonest. In a re
publican form of government, to study
politics and practice it is the highest duty
of the citizen, and in so far as he neglects
this he falls short of an obligation that he
owes to his neighbors and the State.”
The better element of societv get the im
pression that politics is disreputable
because, having neglected their duties as
citizens, disreputable men often get con
trol of affairs. Politics would be clean if
managed by clean men.
The time will come when the British
House of Lords will have to go. The ab
surdity of important powers being exer
cised by hereditary legislators is appre
ciated now by the people of the nation,
and it may be that before many years
there will be as radical a change in the
government as there was when the barons
wrenched Magna Charta from K'ng John.
The Irish question will probably be one
of the lesser troubles Great Britain will
have to contend with in the near future.
The Democratic party is not composed
entirely of Confederate Brigadiers. The
New York Herald says; “Of fifty-five
conspicuous Union Generals 49 were
Democrats and 6 were Republicans. The
latter were Gen. Banks, who was called
“Stonewall Jackson’s commissary;” Carl
Schurz, now a vigorous “Independent;”
Frank Blair, Franz Sigel, Thomas Ewing
and H. W. Slocum. Of these original Re
publicans Frank Blair died a Democrat
and the others are now Democrats.”
Some of our exchanges are advancing
the remarkable opinion that the State of
Georgia ought to build a hotel on the res

able that the State will invest any more
money in hotel buildings while the Demo

CURRENT COMMENT.
A Natural Mistake.
Waehington Poet ( Bern.).
Strangers are liable to get the erroneous im
pression that the large steam drerlges at work
in the river in front of Washington are a part
of the Republiean Congre-sional Committee's
campaign outfit employed in gathering a sup
ply of mud for the Blame organs.
Logan’s Indian Trait.
Meet York Graphic Und.).
It is claimed that John A. Loir an insisted
upon the recall of Frank Cushing from the
Zuni country because Cushing interfered with
ttie robbery of the Zuni Indians contemplated
by Logan and his son-in-law. Logan has one
Indian trait—he never forgets an injury and
he will have revenge for it if he can.
A Result of Nepotism.
Boston Globe (Bern.).
Veteran soldiers complain that altogether
too many government positions are now given
to boys who were not born when the war be
gan. Veterans are not obliged to go away
from Koston to And cause for this complaint.
Those who fought for their country justly
claim that, other things being equal, they
should receive whatever favors tliagovern
ment lias to bestow.
A Trio of Tattooed Ex-Speakera.
Sew York Herald (Tnd.).
Representative Keifcr, whoso reputation
has become so unsavory that even his own
constituents have been forced to east him out,
has announced his intention to take the stump
for Blaine. Of course, Mr. Schuyler Colfax
will follow suit. This is natural and proper.

Speakers, and they are hound together by a

The deep sea is illuminated only by the

The Puget Sound oysters are sometimes two
feet in diameter, and weigh, inclusive of the
shell, as much as 60 pounds. Two of these gi
gantic mollusks were lately transported and

died a few days afterward.
Marmoset monkeys were sold not long ago
in the Bahia market for a half milreis (25
cents). The price is now two and three mil
reis, on account of the demand in Europe and
elsewhere. The marmoset is the most deli
cate of all the monkeys, and seldom lives
more than three months'in a cold climate.
The number of dogs kept in Great Britain
appears from the returns of the dog licenses
to be decreasing. Last year, as compared
with 1882, the licenses fell from 908,369 to
894.903. Since the increase in the amount of
this tax and its more systematic enforcement,
the keeping of a dog has become a luxury.
A rarty of Yale students, enjoying a canoe
trip down the Housatonic river from Pitts
field, attempted to shoot the rapids of the
Lover’s Leap Gorge below New Milford,
Conn., the other day, a feat that no human

compli-hed. Their two canoes were swamped,
hut, being powerful swimmers, all escaped
with their lives, and they even succeeded in
saving part of their outfit.
The Chinese army, which looks sufficiently
formidable on paper, is divided into three
classes—namely, the Bannermen, the Troops
of the Green Standard, the Volunteers, or
“Braves.” The Bannermen are the ileseend
antsofthe Manchu Tartars who conquered
the country in the seventeenth century, and
number about 500,000. The Troops of the
Green Standard number 650,000, but it is en
the Volunteers that the authorities rely.
Eleven years ago the condition of the
timbers supporting the dome of St. Peter’s
was such as to excite alarm for the safety of
the structure. Since then repairs have been
going on with as much steadiness as the de
pleted state of the Panal exchequer would
allow' The work of restoration has just been
completed. The great ciqiola has been se
cured with lead which was chiefly the gift of
Spaniards, among whom the Pope numbers
his most faithful adherents.
A SMALL PIECE of looking-glass was placed
in an upright position about a week ago on a
picket fence in Leominster, Mass., and for
about three hours every day since thsn a
sparrow has been seen flitting about the mir
ror. The bird will stand and peck away at its
reflected self until it gets thoroughly excited,
and then it will run bade and forth along the
fence, fly about the mirror, then return and
peck away again, and this order is kept up
until it is completely exhausted, when it de
parts to reappear the next day.
The capercailzie, or great cock of the
woods, was once a common bird in the wood
land solitudes of the north of Scotland. It
became extinct about the year 1780, but it
continued to exist in Scandinavia, and it is
pleasant to hear that it is once again becom
ing auite a common bird in all the more large
ly wooded districts north of the Tweed. Ac
cording to the Whitehall Review this revival,
after an extinction of about fifty years, is
mainly due to the reintroduction of the bird
into the Taymouth woods from Sweden, in
the year 1838, by the late Marquis ol Breadal
bane.
The looseness of the snow among the high
Alps this season has made the climbing ex
tremely dangerous. Yet this only stimulates
the reckless ardor of English cragsmen, one
of whom has made the first ascent of Mont
Rosa this year, makiDg the summit in sixteen
hours. lie was closely followed by three
other adventurous parties. Another English
man has been waiting to scale the Matter
horn, the peak which Whymper made three
attempts to climb before being successful, and
this season the conditions are said to he par
ticularly unfavorable.
Althocgh the rabbit plague still vexes the
Australian squatter, he is threatened by
another plague even more deadly. This time
it is a once cherished friend who has gone
astrav. Four hundred and fifty useless dogs,
said Sir Samuel Davenport at a recent depu
tation of the Roval Agricultural and Horti
cultural Societyof the Commis-ioner of Crown
Lands, had been destroyed in the vicinity of
Adelaide. All these culprits had killed sheep,
some of them being concerned in a wholesale
slaughter of 150 wethers. Such is the degra
dation of the Australian canine race, that not
only terriers, spaniels and Newfoundlands do
the mischief, hut sheep, cattle and watch dogs
join the rauks of the destroyers, and bite and
worry and destroy in their nocturnal attacks.
The old fashion of home brewing, which
showed so remarkable a tendency to revive a
few years ago, appears to be agaiitrapidly de
clining in England. After the passing of the
beer duty*act a great number of persons who
did not formerly brew took out licenses for
private brewing, under the impression that
they could thus obtain beer at a less cost than
they could purchase it from the brewers. The
operation of brewing, however, is trouble
some in an ordinary domestic establishment.
The English Commissioners of Inland Reve
nue express the opinion that it cannot be con
ducted economically on a small scale, and that
no doubt many of these persons hive found it
more convenient to revert to their former
practice of obtaining beer direct from the
brewer.
The Republicans of Kansas who favor a re
submission of the prohibitory amendment to
the State Constitution to the vote of the peo
ple, either directly or by a constitutional con
vention, are to hold a convention in Topeka
on Wednesday, Aug. 20, for the purpose of
consultation and to place a State ticket in the
field if deemed advisable. The call says; “We
believe the tine has come when the people of
Kansas who are in favor of real temperance
aud good order should adopt some means to
put a stop to the increase in the sale of liquors
in the State, aud to that lawless and unre
strained traflie which absolute prohibition has
utterly failed to check; that there should be a
stringent and practical law enacted, laying
a firm hand on the liquor business—a law com
petent to regulate, restrain and control it in
the interest of sobriety and good government.”
Abram Cuddebauk, a merchant of Damas
cus, I’a., was stricken with paralysis while
attending church in that village nearly three
months ago. Physicians from New York and
Philadelphia were summoned, hut they did
him no good, and he remained in an almost
helpless condition. The family moved to Ma
tauzas, their present home, about three weeks
ago, and since then the local physician has
been in constant attendance on the invalid.
A few days ago he lost his appetite, and it
seemed as though the end was not far off. A
heavy thunder storm visited that neighbor
hood on Tuesday, and the air seemed to he
filled with the electric fluid. A frame house,
adjacent to the one occupied by Mr. Cudde
hack, was struck by lightning, ana a part of
the electric fluid came through an open win
dow into the room in which he was sitting.
He was thrown senseless to the floor. His
wife helped him to a chair, and lie was soon
restored. Wliat was her surprise to hear him
ask for food and a cup of tea, something he
had not done for several days. A few minutes
afterward she was delighted to learn that her
husband had recovered the full use of his
limbs; and the man who was a helpless para
lytic a few days ago now walks and talks and
eats and dmiks the same as usual.

THE TEXAS VETERANS.
A Letter from Jeff Davis in Which he
Indulges In Sentiment and Historical
Reminiscences.
Dallas, Aug. 6.—Nearly twenty vete
ran organizations are represented at the
ex-Confederate reunion here to-day. They
have camps and headquarters on the
ground at Long Lake. There is also a spe
cial headquarters for ex-Union soldiers,
and the most fraternal relations are mani
fested by the survivors of the two armies.
This morning there were fully 5,000
men in camp, and the city was
packed with visitors. The number at the
grounds this afternoon and to-night Is
variously estimated at from 15,000 to 20,-
000. Col. C. S. Mitchell, President of the
Ex-Confederate Association, delivered the
address of welcome, which was responded
to by Gov. Ireland. Most strenuous ef
forts were made to secure the presence of
Mr. Jefferson Davis, the society going so
far as to place a special train and palace
car at his disposal, but at his age—76
years—his friends feared that the excite
ment of the meeting would prove fatal to
him, and he was prevailed upon to remain
away. He sent the following letter;
Beauvoir, Miss., July 29,1854.
Major John F. Elliott'.
Mv Dear Sir—l have received yoursof July
28, and the renewed invitation to attend the
reunion in Texas of the old settlers and ex-
Confederates intensifies the regret heretofore
expressed at mv inability to tie present on
that occasion. The very gratifying terms of
your letter revives the grateful recollection of
the many manifestations of the kind regard
of your people. From the date of your revo
lution and admission as an independent State
of the Union I have watched your progress and
development with the hope and expectation
that Texas would lie, in the fulfilment of tier
destiny, the Empire State of the American
Union. Her vast territory, with a corre
sponding variety of climate, soil, mineral, and
agricultural productions, form a solid
basis for such anticipation, should her
territory remain undivided. It was
with such hopes for her future that in
the official position to which I refer I
re* is ted the transfer of the northern portion
of the state to the public domain of the
United States. But shorn of that portion of
her territory which was north of the parallel
of 36 degrees 3U minutes there yet remains
enough to justify the expectation alluded to
above. The expansion of cultivation has no
doubt changed the appearance of the country,
substituting the useful of agricultural man
for the beautiful of nature. Y'cars ago, in its
wilder state, I went over widespreading
plains, carpeted with primroses, while here
and there rose isolated groves of sturdy oaks,
ami I felt the charm of a scene where nature
had, on a scale too grand for man’s imitation,
laid out parks replete with beauty. But the
most cherished memory is that of the cordial,
unconventional welcome ol the gallant, free
hearted sons of Texas. Thereafter 1 have
said, a Texan instead of a Highland welcome
the wide world over.
Ihe approaching reunion is to bring together
the men whose friendships were formed in
camp, and which have the sure, enduring
foundation of having been cemented under
the severe tests of toil, privation, suffering,
and danger, by which all that is weak or
meanly selfish is exposed. Happy, indeed,
must such a reunion he. From afar I send
you mv warmest congratulations. Of the
hardy old settlers who, against desperate odds,
won the battles of the war for independence,
of the veterans who served in the war with
Mexico, how few, all weak and withered, of
their force wait on the verge of the dark eter
nity. The Romans gave to Great Britain and
to the United States the basis of the military
establishments of three peopleswho here at
tained to the highest degree of military glory,
and it was a rule among Homans richly to re
ward the Generals when returning successful
from a foreign war. but never to grant a tri
umph for a victory won in internecine strife.
With us the rule has been reversed, and the
veterans of the war with Mexico have been
the subjects of special discrimination.
During the progress of the Texas revolution
a distinguished officer left the United States
army ami went unheralded to join the strug
gling Texan-, and entered their service as a
private. His ability and his reputation at
tracted notice, and step by step he rose to the
command of one of her armies. Baptized in
her service, he became her adopted son. When
the war occurred between the United States
and Mexico tie led a regiment of Texans to
join the army of the Rio Grande. Thus he
was both an old settler aud a veteran of the
war with Mexico. He subsequently re
entered the army of tlie United States, of
which he was a Brevet Brigadier Genera!.
When Texas seceded from the Union and war
was inaugurated between the States, true to
his allegiance to his adopted mother and sov
ereign. he left the army of the United States
and offered his sword to the Confederacy.
When commanding a Confederate army in one
of the great battles of the war and victory was
within his immediate grasp he fell mortally
wounded and died upon the field. Great in
council as in action, faithful in every relation
of life, he died as he had lived, the devotee to
duty, and left behind him the good name
which gives grace and perpetuity to glory.
Need it he said to Texans that I refer to
Albert Sidney Johnston? All that was mortal
of that hero reposes in the soil of the land
beloved. Generously patriotic, Louisiana is
constructing an equestrian statue to his mem
ory, a tribute twice blessed.
From that portion of the State in which
your reunion is to he held, there came to the
army in Mexico Col. Wood’s regimen' of cav
alry. I was closely associated with them on
a critical occasion in the attack on Monterey.
Should any of the survivors be with you,
please present my lraternal greeting to them.
Rocked in the cradle of revolution, the his
tory of Texas is full of heroic deeds, from the
self-sacrificing hand of the Alamo, who gave
to their state their example of how men
should dare and die to protect the helpless, to
the defense of Sabin Pass, which, for intre
pidity and extraordinary success, must, I
think, be admitted to have uo parallel in the
annals of ancient or modern warfare. Texas
is now boldly striding onward in the con
quests of peace, and I cannot wish for her a
brighter iuture than that, in agricultural,
mining, manufacturing, educational, socid,
and religious efforts, she may gather wreaths
of oak worthy to mingle with the fadeless
laurel that decks her brow. Deprived of the
happiness of meeting, probably for the last
time, the old settlers and cx-Confederates in
their reunion, of receiving the friendly wel
come and feeling the warm grasp of their
hands. I send to them my earnest prayer that
“every good and perfect’ gift” may be vouch
safed to them, and remain faithfully.
Jefferson Davis.
The name of Mr. Davis was enthusiasti
cally cheered, and his absence produced
deep regret, as many came long distances
expecting to meet him.
State Politics.
The Pulaski county primaries will be held
on the first Tuesday in September.

Marietta Journal'. The court house was
crowded last Tuesday by representative citi
zens from all parts of the county as “looke's
on” of the proceedings of the county conven
tion in session. Every district in the county
had a full delegation, and the interest over the
nomination of two Representatives for the
Legislature from Cobb county ran high. Hon.
A. S. Clay, a prominent lawyer of Marietta,
was nominated on the flr-it ballot, and Hon.
Isaac N. Moon, a worthy farmer of Powder
Springs district, was nominated on the ninth
ballot.

The Bet Still Undecided.
Chicrtqo News.
Two well-meaning men, one irom St.
Louis and the other from St. Paul, had an
argument in the Sherman House on the
pronunciation of the word depot.
“I say it is ‘dee-po!’ ” said the St. Paul
man.
“And I say it’s ‘day-po!’” answered
the St. Louisian.
In the course of time they put up $5
apiece and agreed to leave it to a tall, fine
looking man on the other side of the ro
tunda.
“Going up to him, the St. Paul dispu
tant said: “My friend and I have a small
bet on the pronunciation of the word
‘dee-po.’ 1 say that it is ‘dee-po’ and he
says it is ‘day-po ’ Now who is right?”
“Pardon me,” replied the stranger, “but
I never heard the word before. How do
you spell it, and what does It mean ?”
The betting men looked at each other
dubiously, and one said; “D-e-p-o-t, a
railway station.”
“Oh, yes, yes; excuse me. You mean
‘dep-po,’ of "course. Yes, yes, deppo. It
is pronounced ‘deppo.’ ”
“Look here!” yelled the St. Paul man,
“where do you come from?”
“Boßton,"sir.”
“Well, there can’t no Boston man settle
a bet for me on the English language.
Come on, let’s interview Carter Harri
son.”
Don’t Spill the Milk.
“There is no use crying over spilled
milk,” says the old saw. If you are not

your hair, there is no use crying over that,
either. Take both time and yourself by
the forelock, while there is a forelock left.
