II ia painfully evident that the editor
Of the Dallas Herald would sustain n seri-
GUS shock if the people determined TO To-
cate the State Capital at Houston. Why
SO much zeal p Houston Telegraph.
We will answer you, hro;her Webb in
MI candor. Our zeal is the result Of an
honest conviction that tho removal of the
Capital, at this time, would be serious
injury to tho people of the State. We
have no special love for the politicians Of
Austin--wo have great deal of love for
Texas and its people. This accounts for
cur zeal" Te editor Of the Telegraph
.houll recC.!ect that he, too n, first 'ook
Iii same view Of the question. We 70
greet that the evidence Of our hostility 10
a removal f,he Capital to Houston should
give cur respected contemporary pain. bat
we can rot help it.

AOrushing Sarcasm.

The True story OF Enoch Arden.

We have had so many versions of Enoch
Arden, that the iDdentitY Of that individ~
ual has become, like fried wool, con,ider-
ably mixed. George Harding, the re-
newned author of the Biuebird story,
comes to the rescue, and says that Enoch
was sailor of Merom, Sullivan county,
Indiana, and ran horse ferry boat over
the Wabash. He and Phi lip Ray courted
the same gal, but Enoch, having the
emolu ents of the ferry, and being rather
better looking. got ahead Of Philip, who
turned misanihroFc. retired TO a cave in
the bluff, and there lived On acorn, s ing
and fresh water CLAIMS, which he took
from the shores of the Wabash at low
tide. The day was set for the marriage,
and Enoch invested his savings in a suit
of yaller jeans and new coon-skin cap,
while the bride went to Tarrahut for her
trouSsedu.
But the course of true love is teTiuous.
There came long dry spell and the
people, instead of patronizing the ferry,
wadsd the Wabash. Enoch's business
was broken up, and to mend his broken
fortunes he shipped before the mast as
down the river The noble vessel, after
weathering terrific gale, was wrecked
on Paw-Paw island, and all The crew,
with the exception of Enoch, perished in
the briney deep. Enoch clung to barrel
of salt pork, and was swept ashore, where
he was taken prisoner by band of pirates.
who apprcnticed him to the shoemaker of
the band.
For many years Enoch hammered leath.
er on the island, occasionally looking out
from under plum tree to see how the land
lay. In the meantime there came long
dry spell, and Enoch. who by this time
had so excelled in his profession that the
pirates could not be induced to give him
up at any price, waded ashore with his
kit of tools around his neck, first having
killed and skinned the pirate Captain.
Once ashore, EnCch struck bee-line
for Merom, where he arrived just in time
to interrupt the wedding of Philip Ray
Enoch's bride, thinking him dead, having
yielded to Philips strong solicitations
Ensch promptly put head on Mr., Ray,
and the latter gentleman again retired 10
his hole in the bluff and his diet Of clans
Having little muscle, he took to mussels
Enoch then carefully tanned the pirates
skin, and made pair of boots of ii, in
which, after exhibiting it at the county
fair, be stood up to be married. He then
went to Indianapolis, wh,rs he distin~
guished himself as the greatest artist in
leather of his day.

How COFFEE WAS DISCOVERED
Toward the middle of the fifteenth
century, a poor Arab was travelling in
Abyssinia, and finding himself weak and
weary from fatigue, be stopped near
grove. Being in want of fuel TO cook bis
rice, he cut down tree which happened
to be covered with dried berries His
meal being cooked and eaten, the traveller
discovered that these half burned berries
were fragrant. He collected number of
these and, on crushing them with stone,
he found their aroma increased to great
extent While wondering at this, he ac-
cidentally let fall the substance into can
which contained his scanty supply of
water. Lo. what a miracle the almost
putrid liquid was instantly purified he
brought ii TO -his lips il was fresh and
agreeable. In a moment after the traveller
had so far recovered his strength and en-
ergy as to lie able to resume his journey
The lucky Arab gathered as many bsr-
ries as be could, and having arrived at
Eden, ir Arabia, he informed the Nufti
of his discovery. That worthy dive was
an inveterate opium smoker, who had
been suffering for years from the influence
of the poisonous drug. He tried an
infusion of the roasted berries, and was
so delighted at the recovery of his former
vigor that in gratitude TO the tree be
called it Canuah, which in Arab signifies
force. And this is the manner in which
coffee was discovered.

Fifteen O'Clock,

We remember good story Which we
once heard DR.. Charles Jewitt tell in one
of his temperance addresses At all events,
it was coed as he told if.
Lumpkins and Boozlo were on their
way home one night from a conyiyial
party. and as the toasts which they had
drank had been numerous, and as the bev-
erage on the occasion had been somewhat
stronger than DR.. Johnson's tea, their
heads were not in a very perpendicular
condition. In fact their course was an
extremely ziczag and uncertain one. AS
they staggered onward, the bell of neigh
boring church stated to peal The hour of
midnight. s.a
Lumokins stopped and caught hold of
a lamp post.
''Hole on, ole feIler,'' be said to his
companion. ''let's see what (hic) time It's"
BoOzle also embraced the Iamp-pos
and they both counted the strokes of the
deep-toned bell.
'One-two-three-
Atthis point the clock Of another church
just down diverging street, slightly be-
hind the time If rs neighbor, commenced
TO strike, and SO nearly cid its notes har-
mOnize and time in with the other, that
the obfuscated senses of our two advcn>
turers did not catch the double strokes.
They counted on, loudly and in unison
-''eleven-twelve, and without break
of time or rhythm the belatsd clock kept
on to finish its work, and the conyivial
knights kept on counting
''Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen %
''Fifteen o'clock y cried LumpkiRs
transferring his hold from the lamp-post
to the shoulders of his companion. 81
