was Of limited extent; but later in the day, more

came animated and resulted in the fair business
noted above.
The sales would no doubt have been Of much
larger extent had it not been for light supplies
and poor assortment. The h. E. Lee, which
brought 1888 bales, the largest load this season,
arrived at about 8 P. M. At the corresponding
date last year the same boat brought 1892 bales.
Tomorrow, should the weather clear up, we may
expect more liberal supplies and an enlarged
movement To-day it was cloudy nearly through

to have much influence, Liverpool being reported

UNCLE BAN WARD, skiing of the
lobby" who is as good a cook as he is a
lobbyist, has written the following
verses, full Of true inwardness:
VERSES FOR THE KITCHEN.
Always have lobster sauce with salmon,
And put mlnce sauce your roasted lamb on.
In dressing salad, mind this law
With two hard yolks use one that's raw.
Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve,
And picked mushrooms, too, observe.
Roast pork, sGns apple sauce, past doubt,
Is Hamlet with the Prince left out
Your mutton chops with paper cover,
And make them amber brown all over.
Broil lightly your beefsteak-tof fry it
Argues contempt of Christian diet.
To roast spring chickens is to spoil EN-
Just split EN- down the back and broil EN-
II gives true epicures the vapors
To see broiled mutton minus capers.
The cook deserves a hearty cutting
Who serves roast fowls with tasteless stufflng
Smelts require egg and biscuit powder
Don't put fat pork in your clam chowder.
Egg ssuce-few make it right, alas.
Is good with blue-fsh or with bass.
Nice oyster sauce gives zest 10 cod
A fish, when fresh, 10 feast god.
But one might rhyme for weeks this way,
And still have lots of things to say,
And so I'll close, for, reader mine,
This is about the hour | dine.

Quit Swearing.

The fist step toward getting rid Of
profanity is to cultivate equanimity of
temper. 1t is always foolish TO get an
cry at what cannot be helped, and it is
especially silly to fall into a passion
over inanimate objects, such as win
do VS. that will not go ur, stovepipes
that will not 60 together, sticks that
will not split, etc. The best plan is to
take such things colly, and then if they
can be helped you will the sooner find
it out, and if they cannot be helped all
the swearing in the world will not
mend matters. Take a c0mmon-se1se
view of this subject. Swearing is not
only undoubtedly wrong, but. also obvi-
ouSly foolish; every oath you utter, ev-
cry vulgar word that passes your lips
degrades you and accOmplishes no
good whatever. Why not quit the vile
practice at once? Do you say that you
cannot quit? that you have tried, but
the oaths will come out before you
think? Let your own conduct prove
the falsity OF your reasoning. You do
not swear before your wife or your
mother or your sister or your sweet
heart, no matter how great the provo
cation. Why? Because you would be
ashamed to let them hear such words
pass your lips. But you are always in
the company Of your God. No vulgar
word escapes you that He does not
hear it. Are you not ashamed to be
profane in His presence? When next
you are tempted to swear, remember
whose ear will catch the words and
desist; or, if the oath comes before you
remember, ask His pardon whose law
you have trnsgressed, and you will
soon find that it is possible for you to
live without swearing.-Doylestown
(Pa.) Intdlligencer.

The Texas Pacific Railway

A San Diego PAPER has the following
concise statement of what is asked for
this road:
What is asked from Congress for the
Texas and Pacific railway is very SIM
pie and very concise. 1t is that the
company shall issue its own bonds, and
that the Government shall give an as
surance TO the purchaser of the bond
that he will get his interest every six
mOnths,-the company. in turn agree
ing, first, that every dollar for Govern
ment transportation, postal, military
and interior, and telegraphic correspOn-
dence over its line, shall be retained by
the Government for the purpose of
meeting this interest, and second, that
all the proceeds of the public lands
granted to the line shall be paid into
the Treasury of the United States and
be held in like manner; aud not only
that, but that the earnings of the line
shall be appropriated and paid on the
first mortgages OF the Government into
the National Treasury, and that ten
days before the expiration OF every six
months the Secretary of the Treasury
shall be provided with the money, at
the expense of the company, to pay the
Interest, the Government never to be
called upon to appropriate Il dollar.
And, in addition to this, the company is
10 leave with the Government $4,000
per mile of its bonds which the Secre-
tary of the Treasury may at any time
Should the company in any possible
contingency fail to have the money
with him) sell at current rates, and ap-
ply the proceeds to the payment of the
interest; SO that the Government can in
no case be called upon to pay one cent
from the Treasury.

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes sll eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
searance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, 1.-The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and |
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
