This is the reason why, according to

holder In the Consolidated Virginia
Everybody knows "Con" OSullivan,
better known as G. ID O'Sullivan. AT
ter making respectable pittance by the
manufacture Of real estate, econ" con-
cluded to go into stocks, and has since
been known as a .stock-sharp, and "a
very successful one Mt that. Any man
who can gather unto himself 900
shares Of Consolidated Virginia ought
to be esteemed pretty shrewd and far
seeing. Well, aeon" has held these
shares and gathered the monthly divi-
dends, and sighed each dividend day
that he didn't hold more But Com
IL human, and humanity Is sub
ect TO doubts and misgivings
When the recent squirt come
Oh "COn" rubbed his hands to-
gcther and thought, "Now Consolda-
ted will go to 81 900 share, shure !"
But as the market gradually advanced,
singular to say, Consolidated began to
weaken. Day by day it dropped as the
gentle rain from heaven, upon the
curbstone operators, who know no OF
| fees, and therefore have no rent to
pay "Con'sp Irish rose within him
'to oncl.n "What the diyil's the mat
ter with our stock ?" he exclaimed the
other day, invading abruptly the quiet
sanctun in the Nevada bank, where
King Flood quietly responded "Our
stocks all right-speculative fever,you
know" But Con didn't know, and he
fumed and fretted odd strange
that everything goes up and Consoli-
dated goes down" Flood was quiet IA
u cucumber, and suggested "Well, If
you don't like the market, why don't
you sell out p" Con responded fierce
ly: "Sell out, man? Why, how the
devil can man sell 800 Consolidated
Virginia in minute 1t takes money
Coin, sir" Flood remained quiet
as cucumber His finger was toying
with little silver bell. Then he spoke
deliberately; "Mr. Sullivan, what
would you take per share for your
stock In II lump-lifteen hundred
sharesW CONS eye cleaned. "Take,
sir? I'll take four hundred dollars per
sh0re"' Mr.. floods nnger pressed
upon the bell. Instantly II messenger
beamed upon Flood aud Sullivan. Few
were the words that were spoken. Said
Flood. "Send Mr.. Masten here mo-
ment." Mr.. Masten, the Bank of Ne.
vada's cashier, appeared. Said Flood :
"Mr. Masten, permit me to introduce
Mr.. &, ID. Sullivan, an old friend. We
have just purchased from Mr.. Sullivan
fifteen hundred Consolidated Virginia
at four hundred dollars per share
when Mr.. Sullivan presents his stock
you will present him certified check
for the amount" Mr. Masten smiled
and retired, and Mr.. Flood, turning to
Mr.. Sullivan, said; "Business Is bust
ness, CON-" and Con. left, wondering
whether he had made fool of himself
or not.

We regret to see that some Of the
Journals Of Texas see TT TO intimate
that no man need aspire to official po'
sltion In this State who cannot boast
a record as Confederate soldier. To
coverlly intimate that man Is not q
Democrat good and true, simply be-
cause he did not follow the cross and
bars that went down In dust and blood
under Lee, IN an nilront to thousands
ofunswerying Democrats In Northern
Texas 1t is In bad taste and savors OF
an irreconcilable hourbonism that
will reflect no credit upon our State

that the wearing of the blue or thu
