The Leading Democratic Paper !
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

THE UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS
i with which the Times has met, since
its establishment, is convincing evil
dcnce that the people Of the West and
South fully appreciate the efforts of a
journal. which, in addition to its en-
terprise as a newspaper. has the cour-
age to boldly declare and constantly
maintain the principles of it's political
faith.
The public journal most deserving
of Democratic support is the one that,
in addition to being n full and faithful
medium Of general news, is also a firm
and consistent advocate of Democratic
principles. A Democratic newspaper
is the newspaper for Democrats to
support, and the idea sometimes sought
to be ~incalculated by those who have
an interest of their own in doing so,
that tile people must 20 outside their
party organs to "fnd the news" is ab-
snrd and irrational. There is no sort
of incompatibility whatever between
the political and non-political journal
as to the matter of news; many of the
papers % published throughout the
country, and especially valuable for
the amount and variety Of their intel
ligence, being also known for the abil-
ity and earnestness with which they
champion their peculiar party views.
Hence all things else being equal, it is
manifestly the duty of Democrats to
limit their newspaper patronage to
such rs are of their own way of think
ing and not to sqnander their means on
those that wage constant warfare upon
their established convictions.
1t is our desire to see the TINES in

THE SKELETON OF "DER FREIS-

A singular story issthat of the skeleton
which vas used in 'ttDer Freischutz'' IN

when Berlioz was a medical student, III
went one evening to the opera with a
fellow.student, afterward the celebrated
DR.. D.. While they were listening
with delight to the exquisite strains Of
Agatha's payer, grocer's boy near
them then began to hiss with all his
might. Ber]ioz and his friend took pos
session of the irreverent youth, thrashed
him soundly, and then put him out of
the door,. Some years passed. Berlioz
had given Himself up to the study of mu.

ian, and the grocer died in the hospital.
BY chance the poor fellows corpse was
Ebrought for dissection to DR.. D., who
recognized at once his ancient adversary.
After his anatomical investigations were
ended, he caused the skeleton to be pre-
pared and mounted, and placed it in his
office os memento of the joyous days of
the Latin Quarter. Fifteen more years
passed away, and Berlioz was charged by
the director of the opera with the task of
writing recitatives for ''Der Freischutz. y
lit was also agreed upon that Berlioz
should superintend the whole stage-set-
ting of the work. He. was anxious that
the phantoms of the second act should be
worthy of the opera, and produce a strik-
ing effect. He was seeking, therefore,
some new and original idea, when chance
caused him to meet his old friend Z. y,
to whom he confided his anxieties. II <.
ssYou want ghost ?" asked the doctor.

''Perfectly. I always thought that
fellow would come to no good end.''
''Well, he died Of gastric lever, years
ago. But I have his skeleton, which is
very much at your SERVICE
Berlioz accepted this almost too orig
inal offer. The poor skeleton was trans
ported to the opera house, and thus, for
his sins, he who had Kissed Agatha's song
made his debut on the stage in ''Der
Freischutz.'' Thus ends the story.

ming horses. Last week at Cleveland, the
trotter Grafton, owned by Richard Penistan,
of Levintong, trotted trial in the presence of
hundred gentlemen, in 215a. There were
at least dozen watches held on him, and this
figure was the highest marked, while many
made it 2:15. Grafton was purchased by Mr..
Penistan last fall at Lexington for $4,000, af-
ter he had trotted in 1882, and before the race
was over.
Most of the knowing ones thought the gen.
tleman had made great mistake but the

have been very knowing or very lucky. Graf

ten races, and won them all, securing record
of 222l. "May Queen, formerly Nashville

A Legal Wag.

Judson T. Mills, of South Carolina, was
Judge of District Court in Northern Texas,
fond of joke, but very decided in discharge
of his duty. Thomas Fannan Smith was q
practicing lawyer at the bar, and, having
shamefully misstatsd the law in his address
to the jury. turned to the Court and asked the
Judge to change the jury accordingly. The
Judge was indignant and replied:
docs the counsel take the Court to be
fool ?" os
Smith was not abashed by the reproof, but
instantly responded: -E
~ trust your Honor will not insist on an
answer to that question, a. might, in answer
ing truly. be considered guilty Of contempt
of Court" -.
Fine the counsel $40, MI. Clerk" said
the Judge. .s,... -UF
Smith Immediately paid the money, and re-
marked: SIT was $40 more than the Court
could show" GI
''Fine the counsel $780," said the Judge.
The fine was entered by the clerk, and
Smith not being able to respond in that sum,
sat down. 80 .yI'...
The next morning, on the opening of the
court. Smith rose, and with much difference
of manner began: as..
May it please your Honor, the clerk took
that little joke of yours yesterday about the
$50 as serious, as perceive from the reading
OF the minutes. Will your Honor be pleased
to inform him of his error, and have it
erased = The fine was RENTED.
