SPIRITUALLY DEAD.

We came near writing morally
dead instead, for it does occur to us
that such an averment respecting Dal.
las would not fall far short of the
truth. The utter apathy that has
obtained among our people upon moral
and religious matters is forcibly illusJ-
rated by the indifference and lassitude
felt in our churches and in the condi-
ton of our Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION and the Public Library. The
Christian Association needed money
to pay hall rent, for lights, for fuel, for
furnishing Its room, and for many
other purposes incidental to its organ
ization, and it sent solicitors out
among our people to ask that parties
would subscribe twenty-five or fifty
cents month for its support and
maintenance. The result Of this effort
at subscription in a city of seventeen
thousand people was ten dOiaJSi
There are men In Dallas Whose

Of impact is greatly augmented by the
use of steam to drive IL down from The

WE commend the following style to
some of the chronic old jokers of Dial
las as worthy of their imitation
1t Is said that Chinese gentleman
thinks it beneath his dignity to manu-
lacture his own wtticisms. He appre-
ciates wit aud he is fond of tea but he
would as soon grow his own tea as
make his own jokes. When he goes
into society, he carries In his pocket a
package OF prepared witticisms and
repartees, which he has purchased at
the nearest joke.shop. When CONVEX
sation flags, and he perceives an OPP
portunity for saying something bril-
liant, he draws u humorous remak
from the top of his package, and grave
ly hands 1t to his neighbor. The lat
ter AS gravely reads it, and, selecting
from his bundle of repartees the Aae
which is appropriate, returns it, wilma
bow, to the original joker. The two
then solemnly smile in courteous
and undemonstrative way, resume
their conversation, feeling that they
have acquitted themselves with con-
! spicuous brillianoy.

The utter adherence of the street

of its binding force. Consequently il
was very much in Uncle Daniels line
TO startle the boys with this new en-
