From time to time the newspapers la variou
teeth n* of the country publish plcturcique snd
thrilling accounts of the remarkable antics of
lUarre character who Is generally spoken of as
???'the young man from Texas." Only the other
day this youthful Texan, stylishly dressed, walked
into a Chicago sample room and asked for
light. The bar tender banded him a hi
of matches, when the stranger said, "I don'
want the matches; let me havo that cigar you
smoking." As ho emphasized his request by
aiming a bull dog revolves at the bartender's
lace that Individual politely handed out his ci
gar. The young man from Texas Ignited his
Havana. returned the cigar. thank
ed the lender, and took a scat
pasting policeman was summoned and the Texan
was taken Into custody. When the case came op
the bar tender admired the chock of the fellow
much that be refused to prosecute. The gcufal
judge who also respected cheek asked the
prisoner If gentlemen in Texas followed
method of procuring a light
and being informed that they did, promptly or-
dered the offender???s discharge. It will be seen
from this little Incident that the young man from
Texas is a high toned party, who Is accustomed to
have his wants attended to promptly. As he will
doubtlera tunj.up in a good many localities dur
ing the Christmas holidays with a red nose i
bull-dog revolver, It Is well to be warned
In time. It Is greatly to t*c feared that In some old
foggy places where check Is not properly appre
ciated the Texan???s simple and unaffected ways
way lead to unpleasant consequences. There are
some chumps who don???t know a high-toned gen
tleman when they see him.
That patriarch ol the platform, John It. Gough,
Is now on an extended lecturing tour out west,
and from all appearances he Is In splendid trim
and blda fair to hold his own for many years to
come. He belongs to a long llvod race, his father
havlug died at the age of ninety-four. Gough
has been In the habit of telling his audiences
that hla father drauk a glass of beer every day of
his life. Oncowben It was suggested that It was
laid policy to mention such a fact In a temperance
lectuic, Gough replied: ???My friend, a man
out of tbs war of 1812 with two bullets In hla body
and carr.cd them aa long as he lived,
you think that if I told that
story on the platform any ono would
want to go out aud have two bullets fired Into
blmf Onccxamplo Is as good as the other."
Gough has been In the lecture field forty-two
years. He haa traveled 468,000 miles and delivered
8,694 lectures. Up to this day he feels embar
rassed and timid in the presence of an audience.
He has collected a fino library, but seldom reads
anything, as be finds tho great world of human
nature an attractive study, engaging his ontlro
time and attention.
About a year ago a leau, lank North Carolinian
wooed and won a bouncing two hundred pounds
cr for hla bride. A few days ago he went to the
town of Hilton and , requested
prominent citizens to go to hts
houie and settle hla domestic dim-
cultlcs by arbitration. The arbitrators accepted
the Invitation. During the hearlugof the case the
wife earnestly begged her husband to continue to
live with her, and the arbitrators added their eu-
treaties, but the husband was obstinate. Ho de
clared that his wife attempted to bom him and
that was something ho would not stand.
It was decided that the husband
should pay hla wlfu one hundred dollars.
Eh* giving a bond to let him alone atnl apply for a
divorce. It Is a rare thing for a husband who li
really horsed by his wife to display so much spirit
and determination. Tho atoqy will be viewed with
suspicion.
Lock r, better known as Natby of the Toledo
Blade, spins so many tough yarns that ho Is not
not much quoted, but his explanation of his con
version to total obstlnence will bsof Interest to
those who have fooled with John Barleycorn to
any extent. About eighteen months ago Locke
auddcnly quit drinking. Ho had been a regular
soaker for thirty years. Fur along time ho was
ablo to go to bed drunk every night and yet do a
reasonable amount of work every day.
At last fie come to a point
Where application to hla duties was beyond
hts power. Ho would lie abed until eleven o???clock
every day and contemplate, hla boots half ku hour
???t a tlmo before he could summon enough energy
ft i pull them on. Then he would take four or five
??? whirl tea and be unable to cat any breakfast ex
oept a couple of soft boiled eggs. One day hla
business manager demanded two or three aerial
???torlea, sonic Nasby letters nud a lot of other stud
to brighten up tho papsr.
Locke promised to have tho
matter ready at an appointed time, but ho found
that be could not settle down to work, aud when
the time came he had not prepared a line of copy.
In b!s mortification he realized that ho was a
miserable creature, and formed a resolution never
to tourh snotber drop of alcohol. Obtaining three
days' leave of absence he went down to tho
Toledo wharvea and spent his time walk
Ing about bsrebeaded with his face to
fthe breeze. On the morning of the second day he
was abla to cat a small piece of steak for breakfast,
a thing be had not done In twenty years. At night
he ale a hearty meal. In three days coffee tasted
good and solid food bad a delicious flavor. Ue
frit so mnch better that bs renewed his determi
nation to stick to a temperance schedule. Uo says
that he occasionally feels tempted to take a
drink tut be fights 0 off as he knows that If he
took one he would take forty He admits that he
does not have as much fun now as In the old days
and donbts whether reformed drunkards ever en
joy mere physical existence with the zest they
knew In their convivial hours. If Locko has any
lingering re fret* on the subject they are not
shared by hla readers, lie may not be such an
uproarious humorist as he was a few years ago,
but be Is altogether a better newpaper man and
a better r.tfaen. When he completes hia reform
he will stop slandering the south and her people.
lfx was an old mnn. Uo lived In a country
town with a blooming daughter who was the Idol
of bb heart, the darling of his old ate. The doting
lather was quite sure that he would succeed In
keepiug lovers away, and wa?? successful for a
time. At last fata came tu the shape of a summer
boarder, who took up Ms abode In tho
old man's house. Under ordinary
cfrcumMsuets any young man
would have been viewed with ??u??plclon, hot who
would suspect a summer boarder? As if talc,
summer boarders do not bsve serious Intentions.
One fine morning the deluded father woke up to
find that hla boarder had run away with hts
daughter. Now comce the strange part of the
story. The old man liked hts young boarder, had
no objections to bias whatsoever, and yet he
felt that * be hated him with
a bitter, deadly bate the moment he loundltbat
be wanted to marry hladaguhter. A hot pursuit
followed. The old man knew the country. The
young man did not. The old man was tryin^to
save a daughter. The youug man was determin
ed to ri>k everything for his swcxlhce^. By tak
ing the short ruts known only to hleuelf, the pur
suer gained on the fugitives and over
took them crossing a river. n??rt a fresh
horse was supplied to the young
couple by a friend, and they had a temporary ad-
???nntsgc. Again the old man got the better of

but the girl drove him off with the butt of the
whip, and urging the horse to a gallop, war soon
out of reach. The bafiled father returned homo
swearing that he would sell all he owned, put
bis wife In the poor house and spend his life hunt
ing his daughter and her buiband. This Is
lively little western episode, aud a plain state
xntnt oU facts. A good novelist could work It up
very effectively.
| iWiirw the nihilistic newspaper, the Will of the
People" was suppressed a year ago, the Kasdan
authorities believed tnat the paper was dead aud
would give them no further trouble. The ro-ap-
pcarance of the suspended journal at this time Is
a surprise to everybody. No paper in the world
Is published under such embarrassing circum
stances. The preparation, publication and elrcU'
lation of the "Will of tho People"
Involved In mystery. The members
of its staff, from (he* editors down
the carriers, run enormous risks for the smallest
possible profits. The mere possession of a copyjof
the paper condemns the possessor to perpetual
labor In the Siberian mines. The men and wo
men immediately concerned in its publication
carry their lives In their hands, and need expect
no mercy when caught. Some of its writers and
printers have blown out their brains
to avoid capture. The latest issue of ftbis
peculiar sheet shows that Russian nihilism Is
neither dead nor sleeping, but Is waiting and
working for a favorable opportunity to strike an
other deadly blow. When men are willing to face
almost certain death in tho Interests of nihilism
Russian despotism cannot enjoy a moment's so
curity. And against such fearless journalism as
the "Will of the People" represents nothing can
stand.
Mrxico offers an inviting field for Protestant
missionary work, Catholicism at present reigns
supreme. In tho cntlro republic a Protestant
church Is scarcely to bo seen, while those of the
Catholics crown nearly every kill top. Some of
them are magnificent. In Durango, a city fo
about 30,000 population, there is an immense
cathedral, costing over 12,000,000. The power of
the priests (a almost Incalculable.. When tho

Mary persons who have seen the Mexican Jump
ing seeds, or dqvll's beans, are unable to account
lor their mysterious antler. They not only roll
from one side to tho other, but actually inovo by
jerka and Jumps, and sometimes jump some dis
tance from any object they are retting on. These
movements ore caused by a plump,

years post these Jumping f??aus have beon ex

and mjitcry. The explanation of their Jumping
properties docs not rob them of their interest as
curiosities. _
In Lancaster county, l???ennsylvanla, the Rev.
Daniel Whltmcr when going home from church,
Wednesday night, was Joined In tho fields by a
hsadlct* man carrying a lantern. Tho frightful
apparition accompanied the preacher to his door,
snd then disappeared. Other persons returning
from church saw tho strango phantom, aud their
description of It agreo with Mr. Whltmer's state
ments, When such a story Is backed up by re-
spoctablo wltnetscs, It Is hsrd to dismiss It as a
deception or an illusion. Tho good people doubt
less mw something resembling a headless mffn,
but they will not succeed In making the public
believe that a bona fide man without auy head Is
capering about the fields of Lancaster county with
a lantern In his hand. When a man losoa his head
he dees not try to throw light upon anything. On
the contrary, like tho Rov. Dr. Hebcr Newton, ho
goes about trying to throw a veil of darkness over
every shining mark.
Titr Hebrews In Russia suffer every four or flvo
years from an epidemic of persecution. The hor
rors of 1*91 shocked tho civilised world. Another
perrecutlon Is threatened at an early day. Recent
advices stute that an order has been Issuod for tho
expulsion of nil iorclgn Israeli tos from
Odessa, Klcff and other largo cities,
unlcsa they can show government
permits of residence. Tho Jews all over Russia are
alarmed, and many largo firms aro preparing to
tioto dodrs and leave. At tho bottom of the
prejudice of the Russians against the Jews la a
tiding ol bitter envy. The great mass of tho
Ruialan people arc alov wilted and tlioy
prefer a farm Hfo to trailo or bnilueu
of any sort. Tho Jews, with their characterhtlo
sUrtncra snd shrewdness, drift naturally into
trade. 1 hey monopolize most of tho burinm of
Russia. They control the largo towns. They aro
the wealthiest class, and they live with a splendor
which drives the poorer Russian* to
madness. Naturally the lower classes
of the Russians bate the Jews on account of their
prosperity. At Intervals this feeling breaks
out in the shape of terrible riots. Htoro* are pil
laged, d w filings are burned, old men aro slaught
ered. and youug giila are outraged tu the
prcrcnco of their families, with a
brutal soldiery standing by tacitly ap
proving. The order Just issued will cause trouble.
It will stir up tbe race hatred, and provokes re
newal of tho riots of 1811. These will bo na help
for It wheu the worst cornea. The Russisu govern
ment has heretofore warned foreign oouutrtcs uot
to luterfere, aud tlio waruiog will be repeated.
An American merchaut who has resided many
years in Havana, says that Cuba Is a moral, social
aud political plague spot. It would bo bad policy
for tbe United fctales to annex tho island, i
people would never appreciate our Institutions

In this country the rule Is to let a public en mr
ay what he pleases. We do not interfere with
bia until he begins to act. Last Nunday night
one Johann Most, a pestiferous agitator, delivered
?? n harangue InFhiladelphla in thscoorse of which
be predicted that sooner or later the red flag of
revolution would wave over Independence hall.
This man Most runs about over the country snap

eral. He pictures to idle workingmen

The New York papers Ijhrow a gloom over the
Christmas hfiildays by reporting many sad cues
of destitution among the honest poor. One great
evil fs badly paid labor. Two instances will give
en Idea how tbe needy are ground down by thel^
hard taskmasters. A German family, consisting
of tbe father, mother, two daughters and an In
font son, were forced to make shirts for want of
better employment. The parents, by working
eighteen bouts per day, were enabled to pay rent
*or their rewing machines and lor one most of
bread and coffee per day. Bat for the aid of kind
ly neighbors tbe children must have starved. Tbe
other cate was that of an American family, con
sisting of two brothers and two sisters. Tbe broth
era got out of other work and the attempt was
made to keep tho wolf from tbe door by shirt-
making. By the most strenous efforts the rent was
paid, but the diet of tho family for several weeks
consisted of bread, molasses and water.
Cbawkk and sentimentalists aro Just now exer
cising their brains over what they call "the negro
problem." Those who are tbe loudest in tbelr
lamentations and the gloomiest In tbelr predlc-
Uons have no negro problem to deal with. They
have no negrccs living among them, and their
knowledge of tho netro race
baa been gleaned from "Uncle
Tom???s Cabin." Judge Tourgee's screels
and tbe lurid yarns ol anonymous carpet baggers
who for a score of years bftvc been oscillating be
tween tho poor house and the chalngang. These
re mote-friends of the negro pretend to believe
that his alleged hardships- aro
due to tho oppression of tho southern
???slave drivers." The fact remains, however, tnat
tbe negroes living under the influence of those
very "slave drivers'* are the only members of their
race who since the beginning of tbe world have
ever made the slightest progress In flvillzAtlon.
recent English writer la < ???Nature"siystlnt"theno-
gro as long m he Is Influenced by contact with the
whiter, as in the southern portion of tbe United
States, gets on very well, but place him free from
such Influence, as |n Hoy tl, and ho shows no im
provement. On tho contrary be is retrograding to
African tribal customs, and without exterior pres-
sure will fall Into tlio state of Inhabitants of tho
Congo. Ho has yet shown himself unfitted for self
government, and iocapableof makiugany progress
whatever." This la the view of an Unbiased Eng
lishman. Perhaps the sentimentalists who are
now weeping over the negro problem will some
day sco that tho beet way to solve it Is to leave the
negro to the caro of the people who christianized
him and advanced nlm to his present happy aud
comfortablo condition Ja tho southern states.

Temperance lecturers havo a hard road to
travel. It Is not enough for them to avoid whisky.
They must also keep away from people who u<o
whisky. By not heeding these precautions a tem
perance lecturer In Wyoming met with a sad fate,
other day. Ue offended somo
tho cowboys by his plain
talk and they tool him Into a saloon and forced
him to drink four or five large glasses of whisky.
They then started with him to tho next town,
and on their arrival delivered his corpse to the
authorities, stating that tbe poor fellow died on
tbe road from the cflccts of his drink. The whole
a flair was a murderous outrage, but in Wyoming
It is regarded as the unlucky ending of a'capital
Joke, and the cow boys will escape punishment.

Seventeen Years of Suffering
In 1867 I was afflicted with Ca
tarrh in the head. I tried every
cough and Catarrh remedy I could
hear of. Some of them gave me
temporary relief, but the disease
would soon return agaia with all
its distressing effects. I became
burden to myself and an annoyance
to everybody about me. In Janu
ary last I began taking Swift???s Spe
cific. It gave me more - relief than
anything I lave ever used, curin j
me of muscular rheumatism, as we I
as almost entirely removing the ca
tarrh. My general health is better
than it has been for years. I wish
everyone to know how much bane-
fit this medicine has given me.

INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM
I have been afflicted for nearly
fourteen years with tho severest
form of inflammatory rheumatism.
For a large portion of the time was
confined to bed, and suffered the
most excruciating pain, my legs
badly swollen. My case was
thought incurable by the physi
cians, and I have often hoped that
death would ensue and relieve me
of pain Last month I secured, at
the suggestion ol a friend, one doz
en bottles of Swift???s Specific, and
after using about six bottles I am
entirely free of pain, the first time
in nearly fourteen years. My joints
arc becoming more suple and the
swelling gone. I am ready to an
swer any inquiries as to the fleets in
the case. G. W. ST. CLAIR,

My mother, who is about eeveuty-

Dooly county, had an ulcerated
ankle which gave her great pain and
trouble. It became aggravated to
a fearful degree, and every appli

???dies failed to bring relief. Physi
cians prescribed, but to no avail.

Some two years ago I received a
boy (Lona White) into the Orphans???
Home, near Macon, from Columbus.
He was one of the poorest creatures
I have ever seen???nothing but skm
and bont???crippled and deformed
by Scrofula, which had attended him
from his birth. About 18 months
ago I commenced giving him Swift???
Specific. Alter several bottles had
been taken and no visible results to
be seen, I began to despair, but con
tinued the medicine. Atjast signs
of improvement became: apparent,
and from'that date to ! fjlfrpresent
there has been constant Improve
ment in both body and mind. He
is now about fourteen years old, and
is one of tho brightest boys I have
ever known. I honestly believe that
he will ultimately outgrow the ef
fects of this loathsome diseascunder
the influence of Swift???s Specific.

were treated some two years ago
with S. S. S. show no symptoms of
