WATSON’S DALLAS M’KK< H. The Constitution and the Journal, In reporting Mr. Watson’s speech in Dallas, Texas, on the 7th, said that it pas not marked by special enthusiasm. To show the prejudice ot these pa pers, we quote what the Dallas News •ays of the speech and its effect: Thomas E. Watson of Georgia ad dressed 5,000 persons at the fair grounds yesterday, brom beginning to end of his speech the wiry little Georgian set the crowd afire. The cheering was something more than the ordinary man i testation ot the ap preciation of the people. At times it lasted for two or three minutes. Throughout the speech there wore in terjections and exclamations ol de light. And all went away pleased, if not converted. The introductory exercises were short. Mayor Holland welcomed the visitor and Gov. Barnett Gibbs pre sented him in a very few words. Then tho throng got a chance to neo the man many of them had come many miles to hear. As the orator stood up and surveyed the wide reaches of the grand stand, the center section and tbattotho north packed and jammed, there were expressions of disappoint ment. Some had evidently come with the idea of seeing an Apollo or a giant statue. They were visibly disapponted, as Watson would never take a prize in a beauty show, or last a single instant in front of Corbett. “Why, he’s a little snip of a man,” remarked a lady in front of the speak er’* stand. •‘■Yea," said a big, brawny man be hind her, “he's little, but full of plzen.” Watson fell to work In good style. There are no pyrotechnics about him, nothing of histriouism. lie never re hearses a speech or studies a gesture. Ue makes both just as they come to him. His gestures, by the way,are not as graceful as a dancing master’s, b it they are very impressive. And they frequently emphasize the speaker’s words on the mind of the hearer. Wat son uses his little body to perfection and his postures, unstudied as they are, form one of tlm mcrst attractive accompaniments to his speeches. His ; voice is rather harsh, but it carries ' well, and with a wind blowing across I the stand, lie was heard yesterday to | its remotest coniines. The first great cheer after the speaker started in wna when ho referred | to The News. The crowd just made: the rafters quiver for a minute or so. i ■ When lie paid his respects to Mr. Sewall the applause was deafening and again wlien lie declared tbat.tlie I’opulist party did not propose to be swallowed up by tlm Democratic party. All through the speech, the enthusi asm continued, reaching its climax at the end. When he had finished Wat son's hand was squeezed so that il pained. Dozens and dozens of people were fighting their way to the speak er’s stand to tell him how well they liked his speech and give his arm an other wrench. In this the women vied Vith the men and .Mr. Watson was the recipient of some very extravagant compliments from lh« opposite sex.

A Naboth's vineyard is troubling Queen Victoria in the roadway run ning between the two'lodge gates at Osborne, which belongs to the East Cowes District Council. Some years ago she offered the council a part ot her estate to be used for a reservoir site as an equivalent, but the district pre ferred to get its water in another way. She has now offered 110,000 for the laud, and loyal councillors suggest that the district should mark the six tieth anniversary of the Queen's ac-i cession by letting her have her way In TO Kt V. SAM JOSES.' The Commercial has always ad mired your quaint originality, your cutting satire, your deep sincerity and your bold courage. The letter which your sense of fair ness and patriotism led you to address to Chairman Clay, of the Democratic I committee, was very fine, to employ your own words to Mr. Clay, “as far as it went,” but it did not go far enough. In this it did not do justice to Sam Jones as the people of Georgia know i and esteem him. In this we were disappointed, for we never read anything from your pen without expecting to see the bone of controversial and argumentative con tention scraped of all unnatural and corrupt growths. You say, tliat if Mr. Clay refuses to | accede to the fair demand for honest elections in this contest, you will hold ; it against him two years hence, and , stump Georgia against these corrupt ing methods. Why wait until another election? Don’t you know,distinguished friend, that it is Governor Atkinson whois being served today, and that it is lie and his immediate friends who are backing Chairman Clay in his refusal i to grant the pledges of which you ' speak? This being true, isn’t it the part of wisdom and courage to fight the evil 1 before it corrupts the whole body pol itic? To employ your own vernacular,! wouldn't further waiting on your partl be like lhe case of the fellow who locked his stable door after his best horse had been stolen? Don’t you know that all the circum stances indicate a determined purpose to stuff the ballot box if needs be, in an effort to throw Georgia to Atkin son? Don’t you know that Governor Atkinson and his satellites are to be the direct beneficiaries of this ras cality? Why, then, wait until the next elu - tion to make your-fight? The peop’e are in danger today. Why not throw your magnificent courage and splendid individuality into this fight, and save your great state from the corroding I effects of machine control and an im pure ballot? You say that Governor Atkinson has made a good governor,and that his op ponent, Mr. Wright, will make a good governor. Do you think that a good I governor would quiet in the face of a demand for fair elections? Do you think that a good governor would make vicious appeals to ignorance for votes, and endanger the homes of Geor gia by encouraging an increase of crime by using the pardoning power for political vantage? Do you think; that a good governor would turn a deaf! ear to thousands of Christian people for a commutation in a case that did not involve brutal intention to kill, as was the case with llanye, and respect the petition of a few political friends in exercising the pardon power in be half of the brutal, confessed murderer of the one-armed negro in Wilkes county, Hinton? Do you think that a good governor would profit political ly by relating his pardon of a “negro; twice convicted of felonious assault on a white woman and sentenced to hang?” Granting that his act, in this matter, was just, a position that we do not take, do you think it right for a gov ernor to use his pardon power to get votes, when he knows that such language' inflames and misleads? Do you think that a good governor would allow the circulation of cam paign circulars in his behalf that are ( calculated to inflame the vicious and i ignorant and increase crime in bis stale? Governor Atkinson has been guilty of all these things, and though be may pray to God every day in the week, and every hour in the day, for direc tion, so long as he makes such a use of; his pardoning power, we will never; think that he is a good citizen, what ever may be said of his being a good governor.

After struggling several hours to re lease himself from embrace of a p ous plaster, 1 jet ry Wilkinson of Jef firson, S. D., visited a physician, to whom ho confess, d that the pain of the operation v-.c-’ more than lie could bear. He ii. sought, th ■ doctor to give him an an:estlictic in: 1 complete the task. Undei pretense of making an exami nation before complying with his pa tient's request, tho num of medicine seized a corner of the plaster and gave a long, strong pull. Wilkieson howled with agony, 1 ul a moment lab i he and . tho plaster were divorced forever. A large square of epidermis was miss ing from his anatomy, however, and hud not tho physician exceeded his pa tient ju size in the ratio of nearly 16 to 1 it is likely that Wiikieson would have been avenged on tho spot. As it is lie has tiled tho original no ! :e<> of a \ ?(i'i damago suit against tho doctor.

A very pleasant anecdote is told of Profi - j or Anderson by Mr. Arthur a Beckett in bis “Gr?i n Room Recollec tions.” Ho says the professor in his grr.nt gun trick used to give one of the ! audience a rifle, some powder and a marked bullet. Tio marksman was ; then requested to load and prepare to ; fire. Thereupon tho professor walked to i tiie end of tho stage and invited the ri | tinman to shoot him. Then, after the I marksman had fireo, he used to produce • the marked bullet, insisting that he 1 had caught it ou a plate. On one occa [ sion a fuend of mine, who was an ad-’ j mirable ama . ur c njurer, offered him self as an aszistart. Ho took the gun I and tho ammunition and duly loaded. It was the custom of the prof' ssor to I give tho bullet a final tap with his ; waud to sen that it was rammed down I properly, and this Inal tap, I have been told, extracted tn- bullet. This my I friend knew, and' when the professor , offered his assistance he politely de ;cl ined. Anderson did not insist, but I coolly walked to the end of the stage ; and called out, “Now, sir, take a good I aim at.me and fire.” My fiAsgid hesitated, as lie was well ' aware tbAthe gun he was holding was really loaded. “Eire, str, fire!” cried tiie professor. Mvfnend lower-d the weapon, and, Knyjtfg he could nor let it off, returned 1X to Anderson, who immediately, un filer pretense of aing whether it had been properly load'd, extracted the bul let Then ho gave tho guu to some one else. But before the rifle was fired ho addressed the audience. “Ladies and gentlemen, ’ said he, “the person who has just resume d his seat km w my trick and foiled it. If he had fired, this prob ably would have been my last appear ance before you. But he hadn’t suffi cient nerve to shoot me.” When it dawn .1 upon the house that Anderson had risked his life rather than confess himself beaten, the applause was deafening. My friend told mo that ho felt rather small aad regretted his penchant for practical joking. BEAUTIFUL SEVILLE. There Is Always Something Amusing. Pic torlal or Urawutic to Seo. The landlord at the Hotel de Paris was very patient and good humored with us, though.we walked him all over his own house before we chose a room that open* ' upon a small, dark, well-like court, fttlj of palms tmd orange trees and with a fountain. He sceim d delighted when he found that we were satisfied. “You know,” he told us, “I always say that strangers who come to Seville in tho summer time must bo mad. ’ ’ Yet only in the summer time does one see Hie true character of the coun try, and more especially of Seville. Tho town was as hot as, if not hotter than, Cordova. All its stock amusements were off for the time. There were no gypsy dances, no bull fights, but nothing could have been gayer mid more animated than the mero u/ncct of the place. Its narrow nlleyvu’ ■> \vhero the fioweij laden balconies althost met above our heads, were lined with houScs, shining white or pule rose or green or gold in the sunlight. Tho market places were at all hours crowded with clattering and luughiug peasants, while the air, perhaps, was cooled by a fountain play ing in the center. Th" shops opened, eastern like, without windows, upon the streets, their wares tumbling out al most at cue’s for t.

Wollaston's curious discovery was that by ad ling to each pair of eyes a nose directed to the right or the left the eyes lose their front direction and look to the right or left, according to the di rection of the nose. By means of a flap representing tho lower features in a ! different position, as Dr. Wollaston re marks, “ a lost look of devout abstrac tion in an uplifted countenance may be exchanged tor an appearance of inquisi tive archness in the leer of a younger face turned downward and obliquely toward the opposite side. ” As by changing the direction of the lower features we change the direction of the eyes, so by changing our position the eye of the portrait apparently fol lows us. If a vertical line be drawn through the tip of the nose and half way be tween the eyes, there will be the same breadth of head, of check, of chin and of neck on each side of this middle line, and each iris will bo in the middle of the whole eye If we now move to one side, the apparent -horizon tal breadth of every part of the head and face will be diminished, but the parts on each side of the middle line will be diminished equally, and at any position, however oblique, there will bo the same breadth of face on each side of the middle line, and the iris-will be in the center of the whole of the eye ball, so that, being on a flat surface, the iris will be seen in front of the pic ture or obliquely.—Notes and Queries. Grant’s Birthplace Cabin. A building to inclose and protect the cabin in which General U. S. Grant was born, which was removed from Clermont county to tho Ohio state fair grounds at Columbus iu 1888, was, with the relic, dedicated the other after noon. Governor Bushnell, presided, and Henry T. Chittenden, who presented it to tho state, made the address. The cabin was constructed by General Grant’s father nearly 80 years ago and is in tho same condition as when it stood on the banks of the Ohio. Mr. Chittenden presented a letter from Mrs. Grant in which she attests tho complete restoration of the cabin. The Cost of Church Membership. Dr. 11. K.

There is a story about the famous Brock farm experiment to the effect that several of the most distinguished members, Hawthorne among them, found the place so uncong’enial that they used to lean over tiie pigsty and scratch the pigs’ backs for amusement. When, however, it became Hawthorne's duty to feed the pigs, he drew’ the line. Scratch a pig’s back he might; feed a pig be would not. His daughter, Mrs. Lathrep, denies that he was a finical man. She writes in the Cambridge Mag azine : “Hawthorne could work with his hands too. He hoed many a vegetable garden, planted sunflowers, of which he was a thorough admirer, cut beau poles cheerily and ate his personally raised fr sh vegetables with tho best of us. He did not fear to help his wile in their early marre d life by doing the house work when she was not strong enough. Moreover, he did not do it with surly innuendoes and sudden suarlings, nor did he abruptly stop and sir- down to niggardly reproach. He washed dishes and cleaned knives and cooked like a prince cl' fairy tale reliability and gen tleness.” The Woman of It.

The kind heart.d‘gentleman jumped nimbly off on the grass at the side of tiie road, and as she sped by he ex claimed : “Yes, indeed, I will, good lady.
