HOUSTON AND BOOTH.
4 Oitee More for liberty ”~A Slialon
of the Future.
(Ben: Parley Poore.]
Gen. Sam Houston, who had just re
;urned from his first visit to Texas, was
talking up Pennsylvania avenue one
jvening in the winter of 1884 , when he
net with his old friend Booth, the tra
redian. After mutual exclamations of
surprise and salutation, the two asjer
;ained that thev were both rooming at
Browne’s Indian Queen hotel, and; go
i D g there, they went to Booth’s room.
jj itt j n g dovVT1 , diey recounted the ad veil
tures of their past lives, and, as they in
dustriously circulated the bottle, many a
loud shout echoed through that hall and
startled the watchmen in the streets as
they went their silent rounds. As the
night wore on their excitement increased,
until, at the close of a thrilling story re
lating to his strange career, Houston ex
claimed- “Now*
Booth, let’s have a speech to
liberty, on a of those apostrophes to old
Roman freedom with which you startle
audiences!” -
Rad Booth been inclined to refuse, he
knew that his friend, when the mood j
was on him, would not be denied any I
request, however absurd or difficult of
performance. Bit the tragedian him
self entered into the spirit of his com
panion, and, nothing loth, he rehearses
with magic power many of those elec
Tic passages in dt tense of liberty in
which the Kngtnh drama abounds,
Houston, whose memory as well as
nabits partook of the Indian character,
“aught up the words, and with equal
force, clearness and accuracy, went
through each speech proceeded in regular succes
sion. Thus they for a time, 1
and then again sat down to renew their
p 0 f a tions and the story of their personal
adventure. Both drank and listened,
the other told oi /i his own elevation in his ,
native state, at his disgust at civic j ■
honors, of his homo in the if slant for
est, of the uncontrolled ha-dnnx of the |
redme o( tJle j r sto j e fortitude and
ma f C hiess heroism '
Warmed by the recollection of those
thrilling scenes, he sprang at last to 1 :is
fee , c £ nd in the tone of one amid the
battle’ K r din, figh r-r ing against he most j
fearful odds, ’ exclaimed, r’ “Now, Booth, j
oncemore f r libcrty The tragedian
dared not disobey. He ran through, |
w [th a p his usual energy, the tale of
Mexican thraldom, of the Spanish 00:1- ;
ques^of that land, the dangers incurred
by mat army, their commander’s, ea
hortation before the battle. and the
stubborn bravery of the native chiefs. ,

with an intensity of thought
and feeling which shone through ii s
eyes, lighted his face, strained every

Retook up the tale and repeated the;
words just uttered by Booth, with the j
most critical precision of tone and ma r
ner. As he became exened in ie ux-i- i
tat-ion, his spirit seemed to tak e ffit, a.id
with an air so determined, so

he exclaimed at the c o>e o a ^
extemporaneous rhausodx:
“Yes! yes! I am madelo revel yer m
the halls of the Montezumas.”
“Coming events east their shadows be¬
fore,” and although Houston did not re¬
vel in the halls of the Montezumas, his
determination and energy of character
conquered the occupant of those halls,
and wrested from Mexico her fairest
state.
Carnegie’s Newspaper Enterprise.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the Bessemer
steel Scotch millionaire, of Pittsburg,
who has invested so much money m
afternoon papers of Radical or Gladstone
politics, in an interview about the al
leged quarrel with his generalissimo edi
tor, said:
I suppose that the rumor originated m
the fact .that I, as well as other friends
of Mr. Storey, have taken him to task on
account of several erratic votes cast by
him in parliament recently. This was
done in a friendly way, and did not at
all create any bad feeling. I have no
friend in-England of whom I think more
than I do of Mr. Storey. His success in
his enterprises in which I am interested
has shown him to be one of the ablest
business men of the country. He is a
man with the nerve and energy of an
American.
Our coalition is chiefly owned by Mr.
Storey and myself. I am the only
American in it. Our property has in¬
creased amazingly in value. We reach
2,000,000 of people a day, and our cireh
Iation has grown 25 per cent, since we
took it. I would not sell out at an in
crease of 30 per cent. 011 what I paid for
the papers. Echo was bought for $ 37 o,
000, and I would not sell it to-day for
|f> 00 , 000 . Some of our papers pay us
40 per cent. In some evening editions
we print stories like the French feuil
leton. If some of my American con¬
cerns were paying as well as my English
newspaper investments I would be very
much gratified. We intend to increase
the number of papers owned by us as
opportunity offers, and will invest-the
protits from year to year m newjom-
nals, until we have Britain. one m every lmpor

Mr. Carnegie denied that it was his
