HOW THEY DO 1T IN TEXAS.

The Dallas (Tex1) Herald gives the
following account of bank robbing ex-
plot, that strongly calls to mind the dar-
ing outrage in Carthage, Mo-, last fall.
The Herald says: From a gentleman
who reached the city last evening the re-
porter was given the particulars of a bold
and daring attempt to rob the bank at
Cleburne, johnson county. On Wednes-
day afternoon two men rode up to the
bank, and, dismounting, entered and re-
quested change for twenty dollar gold
piece. As the cashier reached to receive
the coin from one man, the other seized
him by the throat, and both drawing re-
volvers, commanded him to keep silent
on penalty of instant death. Their
threats were not needed, and the cashier
set up shout for help. As soon as he
raised the alarm, the robber who handed
him the coin fired, the ball striking him
in the cheek, rangir downward and
breaking the jaw bone. Immediately af-
ter firing the shot, the robbers ran for
their horses, and had succeeded in mount
ing, when the citizens, who by this time
had assembled, opened a lively fire upon
them. One of the robbers horses was
wounded, and he would undoubtedly
have been captured had not his comrade,
with reckless bravery, drawn his pistols
and rushed to his rescue. In the face of
a heavy fire he succeeded in mounting
his endorsed comrade behind him, and
putting spurs to his horse dashed rapidly
away. The whole thing occurred so sud-
den, and was so unexpected, that it was
some minutes before the citizens could
rally.

larger size, that could conveniently go
to Pittsburgh formerly, find i. impossi-
BILE now during some months in summer,
owing to the shallowness of the river.
The same condition has been experienced
on the upper Mississippi, but in a less
degree, since the country along the
sources of that stream is not yet so
thickly settled. This is serious ques-
ton, involving the future of the agri-
cultural prosperity of the land as well
as its internal trade, and is entitled to
the most careful consideration of states
men and legislators.

No ons who views this magnificent
specimen of the cynocephalus will ever
wish that he had formed any other or
closer acquaintanceship with the formid-
able animal when alive vet at the same
time the creatures dog-like head sug-
gests canine intelligence and honesty
inviting some degree of human trust.
Amongst the ancient Egyptians the
cynocephalus (meaning the dog-faced
baboon) was held in great veneration as
the supposed possessor of superhuman
powers, and was even selected by them
as the symbol of intellec. and to repre-
sent their god of letters, Thoth. Whether
the above true story indicates the greater
intelligence for the brute, or the human
beings whom he SO terrified, is for the
reader to decide.

MAKING BOXES.

The Swiss have clever way of making
cheap boxes without the use of nails, the
mitered sides being fastened together by
wedge-shaped pieces of wood. An En-
glish inventor has recently patented an
other process, which may be used for
heavy as well as light boxes. The two
pieces of wood to be fastened together
are first mitered in the ordinary way, and
a hole is then drilled in each piece YER
tically, from the bottom upward, at a
short distance from the mitered edge. A
channel or groove is then cut out by a
saw or otherwise from the inferred edge
to the drilled hole. This channel is of
less width than the diameter of the hole,
and may be cut either parallel to the
sides of the piece of wood or at right
angles to the mitered edge, so that when
the two are put together there shall be q
continuous channel from one side to the
other, shaped somewhat like dumb
bell, and running from the top to the
bottom of the box. A key is formed by
running a fusible metal, such as lead,
into this channel. The key may be
made separately of solid metal and
driven into the channel; but in eithe,
way joint is formed, which can only
be broken by tearing away the mitere1
edges of wood

GRADUAL DRYING UP OF RIVERS.

Prof. Wex, of Vienna, wel-known
naturalist, has just published an appeal
to the various governments of Europe,
urging them to provide means by legis-
lation for encouraging forest growth.
He points to the fact that in consequence
of the cutting down of large areas of
timbered regions, not only the moisture
in the soil has greatly diminished, but
the average rainfall has also lessened,
and hence the volume of water in the
great rivers has receded, during the last
fifty years, in the Elbe and Weser six
teen inches, in the Rhine twelve inches,
and in the Danube over ten inches. The
same facts noticed In Europe by Prof.
Wex have repeatedly been shown to exist
In this country. The Ohio river on an
average contains now less water than it
did ten years ago, and steamboats, of

HAIR WHITENED IN A NIGHT.


Father Leckner visited Ike Hooper,
the condemned murderer, essly yester-
day morning, and informed him of the
refusal of Governor Smith to grant ex-
ecutive clemency. Hooper was at first
much agitated, and trembled like a leaf
shaken by the wind, but soon became
more composed, and during the day
seemed to have become more reconciled
to his fate. 4 remarkable fact in con-
nection with this case is an exemplica-
ton of the oft-told story that mems hair
sometimes turns gray in single night.
When Hooper was sentenced by Judge
Pottle last month, his HAIR was perfectly
black. The morning after the sentence
was imposed, Mr. Bridges, keeper of the
jail, noticed on entering the condemned
mans cell that portion of his head was
perfectly white. BE Immediately asked
him where he had obtained -four to put
On his head. Hooper was surprised, and
said he knew nothing about it. Mr..
Bridges then went up to him, and dis
covered that large part of his hair i'm
mediately on the crown of his head had
actually changed from deep black to a
snowy white during the night. The
agony of few hours had done what
years generally accomplish.

Young Bess, maid Of sweet sixteen,
Began the well-known words to say:
"First person, love-" first she said.
Sly Tom, beside her, whispered, "Me?-
Second person, you love-" Bess went on.
AYE, that do said Tom,-" love thee"
Third person, he loves" still said Bess.
Tom whispered who is herr

With cheeks all crimson, took her seat,
While Tom, sly fellow, tried in vain
The maiden's soft blue eyes to meet
And when the recess hour was come,
Tom begged walk with coaxing tone,
And meath the trees Bess said again
The lesson o'er-for him alone.

As often pass the roadside,
When YEARLY falls the day,
turn - look from the hilltop
AZ the mountains far away.
The red sUn through the forests
Throws hither his parting beams,
And far il the qn.et valley
The happy village CLEANS.
There the lamp i 1t in the cottage
Az the hnsband,naa's labors cease.
And think that al things arc gathered
And folded in twilight peace.
But the sound of merry voices
Il heard il the village street,
While pleased the grandame watches
Tne pay OF the little feet.
And at night 20 many firss:de
The rosy children come;
To tales OF the bright-eyed fairies
They listen and are dGEsb.
There seems il a Joy forever
To labor and to learn,
Fer love with an eye of magic
Is patient to discern.
And the father blesses the mother,
And the children bless the sire,
Ard the cheer and joy Of the hesr.hstone
Is as light fro an altar FIRE.
Oh. flowers of +. rest beauty
In that green alley grow;
And whether 'twere earth or heaven

And dim is thy helpmate's eye;
And graves are green in the valley.
And stars are bright in the sky.

MANIFOLD WRITING.

By the following process, devised by
Hansen, it is said that 100, or even 200,
copies of mans manuscript may be
taken in ten minutes. In manipulation
1t Is similar to that of oiled paper satu-
rated with a pigment, except that in this
case the eolored paper is placed beneath,
with the colored side uppermost, and
upon it, instead OF writing paper, sheet
of firm, thin, very dry oiled paper is
laid, that viii take up the color without
absorbing it. There may be pile of
five, or even ten, such layers of alternate
colored and oiled paper, and when it is
written upon with q pencil or stylus,
copy III reverse will be formed on the
lower side of each leaf Of oiled paper.
From each of these about twenty impress
sions can be taken by placing writing
paper in contact with each one, and sub
iecting the whole to the pressure of a
rolling machine, then removing the i'm
pressions, renewing the writing paper
and subjecting the whole to somewhat
greater pressure than at first, repeating
the operation with increased pressure for
each impression up to the twentieth.
1t is only the blue paper that will afford
so many impressions, and it must be
thin and the color much more finely
ground than is usually found in the
trade. The paper on which the impress
sions are taken must not be rough, nor
should it be too smooth, and the first
impressions should be made with the
least possible pressure. The printing,
copying, or even photographic press is
not well adapted to this work. If only
twenty copies are desired, an ordinary
pen will answer in writing.

HOW HE Made HIMSELF AT HOME

HOW HE MADE HIMSELF At HOME.
"Make yourself at home," is COM
mon form of hospitable welcome, but
the invitation may be awkwardly taken
advantage of if our friend happens to be
odd. The Nashville Banner says
The eccentric Brother Carr" whose
name has become household word in
this city, once paid an informal visit to a
good religious family, as he was in the
hebit of doing when he came to Nashville.
The lady of the house came in, but after
some time excused herself to attend to
some householddut but begged Brother
Carr to make himself at home.
When she returned she found the rev.
erened gentleman on his knees in front
of the fireplace, taking up the ashes.
Perfectly taken back at this spectacle,
she said, "Why, what in the world are
you doing 2"
He answered "You told me to make
myself at home; and, if I were at home
and the ashes needed taking out as badly
as yours. would do it myself"
She was not much comforted to find
that he had been down in the back yard,
had hunted up an old ash pan with as
much idea of being at home as she could
have possibly desired.

LUDICROUS MTSHAP.

A young lady who lately appeared at
an amateur musical entertainment at
Washington, walked down to the foot
lights with the grace of queen and the
ease of professional. She warbled the
first stanza like Nilsson. The ac-
companist struck up the interlude, and
of course this was the time when the fair
singer should raise her 'slace kerchief''
to her face. With regal curve of the
left arm she did SO, her eyes fixed on the
admiring audience, when, horrible dictu,
most delicately- constructed silk stock
ing displayed itself in wavy folds. 1t
seems that her maid in her excitement
had placed stocking in the place where
the other article ought to be, and hence
her ludicrous mistake. She stood trans
fixed, resembling an auctioneer of host
cry at bankrupt sale. The audience
roared. The buttons flew and stalwart
men grasped their sides in fearful agony.
Fashionable ladies forgot their propriety
and just screeched. Of course the best
thing under the circumstances for Mile.
Blank to do was to faint. She did it as
well as Clara Morris could. Up rushed
Senator -; he seized a pitcher of
water and soused the PROSTATE form of
the unfortunate singer. This had the
desired effect, and so it would on any fe-
With whizzing sound she left the plat

merry, and of the fate of the maid history
is silent.

APARTICULAR HEN.

Capt. Jacob w. Dubois has a hen of
the golden pheasant breed which is very
particular as to her place of laying. She
always comes in the house and makes for
certain closet, where she arranges a
nest, quietly deposits her egg. and goes
off with a happy, contented little
cackle. If she finds the doors and win
dows closed, she will walk around from
one to the other until she attracts some
ones attention and is admitted. When
she comes into the house she behaves in
the most circumspect manner, like well
bred fowl, as she is, and never says any
thing to anybody, or gets in any ones
way. The hen has mate In little
rooster, who accompanies her about the
premises, escorts her to the house, and
quietly waits for her until she makes her
exit, and then wanders off happy and
proud in her companionship.-Kingsto

HIS FIRST SHIRT
A countryman bought shirt In Ra-
leigh, n. c., which was the first white
one he had ever owned. The next Sun
day he was to be married, and that was
the important occasion that had melted
him to the purchase. The shirt had a
nice starched bosom, and was open in
the back-a style that was new to its
possessor. After careful study he put
it on with the opening in front, conclud-
ing that the stiff bosom was intended as
kind of shoulder-brace to make his
stand erect. Thus dressed, he met hirl
bride at the church door ; but her knowl-
edge was greater than his about shirts,
and she made him go home and reverse
the garment before she would allow the
ceremony to proceed.

When the farmer nerved himself suf-
ficiently to minister to the nurses re-
quirements he found that her nervous
system had received an irreparabls shock
from which she never recovered. She
passed from one horror into another, and
never regained enough consciousness to
understand who her mysterious antagon-
list had been.
In the course of the following day the
old woman died. On the morning after
the occurrence of these events diligent
search was made for the missing brute,
whose escape had soon become known
when the keeper commenced his daily
rounds. They had not to search far.
They found the animal disporting in an

quite evident that he would not resign
that liberty without hard struggle for
it. While the method of his capture was
