, So many merchants advertise
prices so fabulously low, to draw
trade” and bo many customers arc
now aware of the fact, that It is
done for that purpose only,—that
but little reliance is now placed in
advertising. Generally tho articles
advertised arc “sold out” or are
a poor imitation of that whicli the
customer really expects. I will men
tion again to my friends, custom
ers, and those wishing to buy any
thing in the Dry Goods, Clothing,

do no impossibilities, but that I am
enabled (through the way my goods
are purchased) to sell good goods
for less money than other mer
chants cau bit)’ them, at regu
lar prices at wholesale, and then it
leaves me a fair margin as a profit.
I am not selling oil at cost, nor do
sell at and below cost to make
room; on tho contrary, I continuo
to receive now and fresh bargains
daily. Tho latest arrival is a very
large lot of H.nuburg Edging and

At the astronomical observatory
of Berlin, Bays a translation from
Nyo Pressen Helsinglor, a discov
ery has lately been made, which,
without doubt, will cause the great
est sensation, nut only among the
adepts in science, but even among
the most learned. Professor Blend'
an, in that city, has found, be-
yend a donbt, that our old friend
the moon, is not a mere lantern
whioh kindly furnishes us lights lor
the loving youth and the gas com.
panics of our planet, but the abode
ot living, intelligent beings, for
which ho is prepared to furnish
proofs most convincing.
The question has agitated hu
manity from time immemorial, and
has been the object of the greatest
interest. But the opinions have
always differed very widely, and
no two minds held one and the
same. Already in ancient times
the belief prevailed that the moon
was inhabited by some higher or
ganized, 'intelligent befngB, some
what resembling man, and in order
to communicate witli them the
earthly enthusiasts planted rows of
trees several miles in length so as
to form the flgnrs of tho 'Pythago
rean theorem. The celebrated as
tronomer Schroeder, in the begin
ning of the present century, fancied
that he could detect places on the
surface of the moon which period
ically grew lighter and darker, and
trom this fact lie derived the con
clusion that the phenomenon was
then proof positive of existing
vegetation. During the last two
decades, however, the idea of life
on the moon has been held up to
ridicule, and totally scorned by
men of learning. But, nevertbe-
less, it has now been proven to bo
correct.
By accident Dr. tilendmnn found
that the moon eavo but very unsat
isfactory results, owing to tho in
tensity of the moon’s atmosphere,
which is that strong that it affects
the correctness of the observations
in a very high degree. He then
conceived the idea to make tke
object-glass of the refraotor less
sensitive to the rays of tho light,
and for that purpose he darkened
it with the smoke of camphor. It
took months of experimenting bo-
fore he succeeded in finding his
right degree of obscurity of the
glass, and when linaliy found ho
then with tho refractor took a very
accurate photo of tke moon’s sur
face. This he placed in a sun mi
croscope, which gave the pioturo a
diameter of 55J feet. Tho revela
tion was most startling. It per
fectly overturned all hitherto en
tertained ideas of the moon’s bur-
face. Those lovcl plains which for
merly were held to be oceans of
water proved to bo verdant Helds,
and what formerly were considered
mountains turned out as grand des
erts of sand or ojeans of water.
Towns and hsbitatiooB otjUl kinds
were plainly discernibloi as well as
signs of industry and traflic. The
learned Professor’s study and ob
servations of old Luna will bo re-
repeated every full moon when the
sky is clear, and we venture to pre-
diet that the time is not far off
when we shall know more about
the man in the moon than as being
an agent in English polities.

A Grand Melon Patch.
We rode down to Copt. Kolb'
big watermelon patch on the Pugh
place, a day or two since, and it
a sight worth beholding. In one
patch there are ISO aores—the vines
all looking in healthy and vigor-
ous oondition and Rill of fruit rang
ing in size from a thimble to a man’s
bead. About two acres in this
patch are planted in the “Kolb
Gem” and tho balance In what
known as the “ratilesnake” melon.
Then, in a separate patoh of 20 aores,
are tho “Kolb Gem,” but recently
planted and now just coming up,
which havo been planted exclusive
ly for the New Orleans Exposition
it being the Captain’s purpose tc
have on exhibition 1,000 of bis
“Kolb Gem” melons during the
month of December. This melon,
as we have heretofore stated, will
keep fresh and sweet for three
months after ueing taken from the
vine, if kopt in cool and dry place,
and, we dare say, bis One melons in
December will attract no little at
tention at the big show In the Ores
cent City.
But aside from his great melon
crop, Capt. Kolb has about 100
acres of the prettiest young cotton
that can be found anywhere around
hsre. He and Hr. YV. A. Daughtie
aro running a large portion of tbe
Pugh plantation in co-partnership,
having leased it for a number of
years, and tboir crops at this time
aro looking remarkably well and
paomisc a line yield.
Of the Captain’s peach orchard
on hls.home place, we might say
that it is putting him to bis trumps
to handle it this year. He is ship
ping daily about 100 crates of
peaohes, and still they uro ripening
on the treos so fast that ho has been
compelled to sell tbom for Imme
diate use in this market and for
wbat they will bring. There are
but few months in tho year that
some produet of tho Kolb truck
farm cannot be found In market.
Consequently be is one of tho il.
Instrions few farmers who is never
ont of money. Ho makes only
enough cotton to brldgo him over
tho winter months when all vegeta
tion Is dead, but early in tho spring
he gets monoy for his strawberries
and vegetables, a little later on
comes his peaches and melons and
pears, then his corn and cotton and
then winds up abont the first of
December with a big deal in pump
kins. Just bow bo can do all this
and at tbo same time watch and
fight tho opposition in politlos, and
bo “bulger” under the Democratic
wagon in every meeting of bia beat,
and in eounty and State conven
tions, and rlso act as Secretary of
tbo Barbour Agricultural Society,

The Old Printer.
Bub Bartlett*.
And so, year after year he
wrought among the boys oh a
morning paper. He went to bed
about the time the rest of the warld
got up, and he rose about tba time
tbe rest of the world sat down to
dinner. He worked by evety klnd
of light except sunlight. There
were candles in the office when he
came in; then they bad lard olt
lumps that smoked and epqttered
and smelled; then be saw two or
three printers blinded by explosion
of campene and spirit gas; then
kerosene oame and.heated', up tbe
news-room on summer nights like
a furnace; then tbe office pat in
gas, and now the eleotriq light
swung from tbe colling and dazzled
bis oid eyes and glared into them
from his oOpyt If he tang on his
way home a policeman bade him
“cheese that," and reminded him
that he was disturbing the peace
and people wanted td ’sleep. But
when ho wanted to sleep the ifest
of the world, for whom he had sat
up all night to make a morning
paper, roared and crashed by down
the noisy streets under bis window
with a cart and trnek and omdlbus,
blared with - brass bands, howled
with hand organs, talked and shout

boy, with a ghastly sarcasm, mur
dered the sleep of the tired old
printer by calling the name of his
own paper, v- '-i,.
Year after year the" foreman
roared at him to remember that
this wasn’t an afternoon paper, edi
tors shrieked down thetnbe tohave
a blind man put on that dead rpan’s
case; smart young proof readers
scribbled sarcastic comments on
bis work on the margin of his proof
sheets they didn’t know how to
read, long-winded correspondents
learning to write, and lqngrbafred
poets who eould never learn to
spell, wrathfully east all their im- <
perfections upon his head. But
through it all he wrought patiently
and fouqd more sunshine than
shadow in this world; he had mom
friends than enemies, Printers
and foremen and pressmen and re
porters oame and went, bat be
stayed, and he saw newsroom and
sanctum filled and emptied and
filled and emptied again and filled
again with new strange faces. ‘ He

The scholastio census of Texas

since the census of 1880. Tbe
census was taken for the purpose
of apportioning the annual aoliool

cates that tbe population .,of Toxa*
is at least 20 per cent, greater than
it was four years ago. If this fate
of increase should bo maintained
