TEXAS DEACONS.

We might have evolved from the depth OF
our inner consciousness the truth that Texas
Is a bad place for Deacons. One OF these
humble servants of religion experienced the
melancholy truth the other day at a pro-
tracted meeting at Norsworths. The good
were there to be made better; the bad
were there enjoying themselves, ana the
Deacon was there exhOrting and preserv-
ing the peace. !, Certain maidens Oh the
church, it appears had somewhat Dack-
"slidden,r and had therefore been requested
to occupy back seats in the congregation
While the Deacon was eloquently holding
forth, his special topic being the lapses OF
these little sisters, what was his horror ana
indignation at beholding them on the back
seats aforesaid actually laughing, chatting, and
flirting generally with those dangerous wlld
beasts sometimes called "fellers." Poor gir.s
they didn't look in the least unhappy nor dld
they seem to care one dot for the Deacon OF
his discourse. The good old man naturally
lost his temper. Possibly, unless the matter
should then and there be stopped, he foresaw
investigations and statements and epistollzlng
and trials and affidavits and heaven knows
what else beside, and all without end. lie was
equal to the emergency. AS the Speaker Oh the
House of Commons names" refractory mem-
bers, so the Deacon named these reckless iassles.
Their friyolity he denounced. Their unguarded
behavior he stigmatized. Their future fate ne
set forth with all its fiery and sulphurous
peouliarities, in way calculated to make
their hair stand on end-at least all of 1t
which they could truly call their own. Their
cbeyaliers were also included in the
DeacOns warm prophecies; and naturally these
chevaliers didn't like it-not, of course, upon
their own account-they could stand lt-Dut
for the Deacon to say such things OF helpless
Young women was an Offense against gallantry
not to be forgiven.
So it happened that within four-and-twenty
hours the Deacon's physiognomy underwent a
striking change into something rich and
strange. 1t was wickedy done. They asked
the Deacon for a private conference IN the
grove. He thought them penitent, and he went
to meet them, expecting them, OF course, 10
say that they were sorry. Well, they didn't.
In fact, as if they didn't feel that they
had quite enough sin on hand yet
for a good, rousing, wholesale repent
ance, they fell afoul Of the Deacon,
and did so hammer, maui, brulse, pound,
pummel, and otherwise assault him that he
left the sacred grove the worst battered and
most varegated Deacon in all Texas. 1t
is MT likely that he will hereafter be so per-
sonal in his remarks. We favor good, strong
preaching. We haven't the least doubt of the
pressing need Of it in Texas, or even in New
York. AS rule, we cannot approve OF tiirt-
ing in sermon time. Still, we question the
right of Deacon or even of regular Pastor,
to mention members of the congregation by
name IN his exhortatiOn. Such a liberty leads
to unpleasantness. 1t hurts private feeling.
1t has a SAVIOR of impudence and of insOlence.
1t would hardly do here-it is certainly
specially dangerous business in Texas.

An intelligent correspondent in the South
sends us a report of a conversation with the
Hon. j. Amber Smith, Representative in Con-
gress from the Richmond district, who has
just returned home from an interview with
the President at Long Branch. Mr.. Smith
found the President unwilling to commit him
self on the subject of q third term, from
which, of course the only conclusion that can
possibly be drawn is that he will take the
nomination if he can get it. Mr.. Smith de-
clares the public sentiment of his State to be
"not at all unfavorable to President Grant,"
and for himself he goes $50 far as to say
"that If the people are ever disposed to give
"a President three terms they will not find
"more worthy recipient of the honor than
"Gen. Grant, The agitation of this i'm
portant question has been somewhat checked
by the later sensation of "War OF Races"
but it is clear enough that party, not by

as South Carolina is concerned, the belligerents

will agree with Gen. Sherman in his opinion
respecting the inutility of troops on such oc

Matters at the Columbia Convention are
coming to a crisis, the hunger of the dele
gates threatening to pass before long beyond
all control. Gov. Moses has made speech,
declaring that his errors are not OF the head
but the heart, his sole fault being an over
weening love for the black man. The conclu-
sion naturally to be deduced from this state
ment would be that the black men ought
therefore to vote for their friend, what
ever his little moral peccadilloes; but
as Moses has also requested to be re-
garded in the unexpected light of "burnt
" "offering,n the Convention is perplexed.
There is a comforting report that the chances
of defeating both Chamberlain and Moses
continue to improve; but he must be a san
guine observer who looks for any good out
of the present Republican assemblage at
Columbia.

Brood Mares in Spring.

A correspondent of the Michigan
FARMER gives the following sensible
directions
The best food for the brood mare is
cornstalks, or good timothy hay, with
four quarts of ground oats and wheat
bran, equal parts each day. The ground
oats and bran not only enable the dam
to make all necessary preparation to
supply the coming foal with nourish-
ment at the time most needed, but keen
her healthy and strong, and enable her
to feed the growing foetus on the very
best kind of material TO make the best
bone and muscle. The dam should
have moderate exercise, but it should
be regular. If she is used in a team
she should not be driven faster than a
walk, nor loaded too heavy, for in eth
er case there is danger of injuring the
dam and running the foal. She should
be housed or sheltered nights, and in
all stormy weather.
As foaling time approaches, she par
hcularly needs the practiced eve of the
careful and experienced breeder. For
che should be watched day and night,
as many a valuable colt has been lost.
that two minutes labor, at the particu-
lar time, would have saved. As soon
rs the colt is dropped, the attend
ant should see that its head is free
from the blanket, as it will otherwise
soon smother or drown. The next
thing is to sever the umbilical cord
about hve inches from the foal, and tie
the end next TO the young colt with a
string, to prevent bleeding; this, II
possible, should be done before the
dam rises, as many foal has been rup-
tured Mt the navel by the dam rising be-
fore the string was severed. After the
above has been promptly attended TO,
leave the dam alone with the foal for
an hour. If, at the end of that tine,
through weakness or any other cause,
the young foal has been unable to Sc
cure its natural nourishment from its
dam, the attendant with whom the dam
is most familiar should lose no time in
rendering the necessary assistance by
holding the colt at the side, and push
ing the nose to the dam.
After the colt is able to draw its
nourishment from the dam without the
aid of the attendant, little need be done
but furnish a shed if the weather is in
clement and a good, liberal supply of
hay or stalks, and a peck of ground
oats and bran per day until there is
full bite of green spring grass.

A Century's Changes.

The nineteenth century has witnessed
many and great discoveries.
In 1909, Fulton took out the first
patent for the invention of the steam
boat.
The first steamboats, which made reg
ular trips across the Atlantic ocean
were the Sirius and the Great Western,
in 1889.
The first public application to prac-
tical use of gas for practical llumina-
ton was made in 1902.
In 1918 the streets of London we're
for the first time lighted with gas.
In 1913 there was built in Waltham,
Mass, a mill, believed to have been the
first in the world which combined all
the requirements of making finished
cloth from raw cotton.
In 1870 there were only twenty-five
post-offices in the whole country, and
up to 1897 the rates of postage we're
twenty-five cents for every four hundred
miles.
In 1907 wooden clocks commenced to
| be made by machinery. This ushered
in the era of cheap clocks.
About the year 1888 the first railroad
of any considerable length in the United
States was constructed.
In 1910 the first experiments in pho
Biography were made by Daguerre.
About 1849 the first express business
was established.
The anthracite coal business may be
said to have begun in 1920.
In 1886 the first patent for the inven-
ton of matches was granted.
In 1885 the first telegram was sent.
Steel pens were introduced for use in
1903.
The first successful trial of a reaper
took place in 1888.
In 1916 Elias Howe obtained 3 patent
for his sewing machine.
The first successful method of making
vulcanized India rubber was patented

A Pleasant Place for Parker

Our young friend Parker went round
the other evening to visit the two Miss
Smiths. After cOnversing with them
for while, Miss Susan excused herself
few moments, and went up stairs.
Presently Parker thought he heard her
coming, and, slipping behind the door,
he suggested that the other miss should
tell Miss Susan that he had gone. But
it wasn't Miss Susan, it was old Mr..
Smith in his slippers. As he entered
he looked around and said to his daugh-
ter:
sab, ha So Parker's gone, has
he? Good radiance. Idon't want any
such lantern-jawed, red-haired idiot
foolin' round here. He hasn't got the
sense of a ruttabaga tUrnip, or money
enough to buy clean shirt. He gets
none of my daughters. I'll shake the
everlasting life ont of him if I catch
him here again, mind me 20
Just as he concluded, Susan came
down, and not perceiving Parker, said /:
Thank goodness, he's gone That
man is enough to provoke a saint. I
was awfully afraid he was going to stay
and spend the evening. Mary Jane, I
hope you didn't ask him 70 come
again"
Then Parker didn't know whether to
stay there or bolt, while Mary Jane
looked as If she would like to drop
into the cellar. But Parker finally
walked out, rushed 60 the entry, seized
bis hat, shot down the steps, and went
home meditating upon the emptiness of
human happiness and the uncertainty
of the Smiths. He has not called
since.

TranspIantlng Cotton.PIants.

A Georgia planter has succeeded in
securing a valuable return from cotton
plants, the seeds of which were eermi-
mated in hot-beds, the plants being af-
terward set out, as those of tobacco.
From a report of these experiments
we learn that long pits were dug, about
three or four feet deep. into which were
placed rough boxes, resting on planks.
filed with manure and soft earth
Into this rich soil the seeds we've
planted in January. At night. and
during the colder days, the pits were
covered with canvass. In April, the
usual planting season, these protected
plants were a foot high. As the light
boxes rested upon plank, the trans
planting was effected by removing these
planks, with che plants, to the field,
aud then slipping the plants into holes
dug for them at the same time raising
the box out, and thus the roots were
not disturbed. The result was a WELD
OF two bales to the acre, with no need
OF additional manure, as with the
young crop planted in the usual way.

Until he linked his fate with those
Who engineers would be.

Nor could he his 81 luck foresee,
In spite Of his " foresight"
Twas all in vain this engineer
Would work with main and might
