UOSPE!lLITY IN TEXAS.

Ia no city in the United States is the
trayel-8tAined, wearys traveller taken as
good care Of as he is in San Antonio
hotel. The manners and customs Of the
guest are earthly studied. A young
man from she frontier, stopping at one of
our hotels, told the clerk the other even
ing that he was going to be out late.
" Just wait a minute" replied the ac-
commodating clerk, and he rushed off,
but soon reappeared with a large en-
velope, which he placed in the guests
breastpocket, with tho remark: That
is bond for your appearance before the
recorder properly signed. As soon as
you are arrested for being drunk and.dis-
orderly, just give the bond to the police
man, mention my name to him, and he
will bring you home in a hack. Good

AGE AND WISDOW

The extraordinary wisdom shown by
such writer's as George Eliot and HaW-
thorne sets us to wondering whether
their wisdom would be proportionateIy
increased if their lives should be pro-
longed, say three times the usual term.
We doubt that it would OF course Wis
dom is derived largely through expert
ence, but the insight that gives wisdom
does not require any excessive oPpor-
tunItv for observation. The ordinary
term of life is enough. For not only
observation is necessary, but sympathy,
and the kind Of sympathy we give to
and receive from, persons who are in the
same time and mood Of lie with our
selves. Hawthorne's earliest writings
have much of the same truthful and
typical quality that his later ones pos
ess. Old people do not seem to lave
any prop rtionate increase Of wisdom.

THEORY or LUmTNoUs FLAKES,

DIR. Karl Heumann considers the cir
cumstances that a gas-fame does not
actually touch the edge of the burner
nor candIe-fame the summit of the
wick, and that flame never comes IN
close contact with a cold body, are
due to the fact that heat is conducted
away by the solid body. The flame
gases are cooled for certain distance
below their ignition point, and TIE fame
is consequently extinguished within this
region. The distance between a gas
fame and the burner is considerably
increased if the inHamnabIe gas or
vapor steams out under high pressure
or is mixed with a large amount OF some
non-inhammable gas.

Men and Ms money!
Any one who has seen brother Moody
sitting in the abandoned saloon-sh@nty on
the north side holding a small colored
boy on his lap, and trying laboriously,
by the light of one tallow-candle, to
teach the little fellow the parable of the
prodigal son, the teacher himself having
to stop occasionally to spell out the long
est words, and being obliged to skip some
of them altogether, would have been sur
prised to learn that this man was one
day to become a bishop. Bishop Moody
Not with a diocese in the usual form,
but with an organized company Of the
first evangeIists in England and America
under his direction, or whose services in
speaking and singing he receives applica-
tions, and whom he assigns to fields OF la
boz with no less of episcopal authority
than that exercised by grand old bishop
Aehbury himself More than this, and
more than bishop Ashbury or any other
bishop ever was, Mr.. Moody is personally
responsible for the support Of these men
and their families, whom, by the direc-
ton of the Lord and the exercise of con-
summate Judgment, he calls to his as
sistance in carrying forward scheme of
evangelistic work which already embraces
two g!cat nations, and which he believes
will ultimately embrace the whole Eng.
disappearing world, To some of these
men he has paid regular salary others
share with him in the gifts of the people ;
and still others, who have some other
resources are authorized to draw from his
treasury to supply any shortcomings of
their own.
In view of these facts people are in
clined to ask two question. First, how
does Mr.. Moody get his men? and sec.
ond, where does he get his money
Both questions admit of the same an,
swer; the men and the money are sent
to him from the Lord. There is a very
large class Of christian people wlO be.
lieve that Mr.. Moody is a prophet Of
God, raised up to be the leader of al
essentially new movement in the
church, which new movement has
become necessity from the constantly
increasing Journalism and materialism
which have cursed the ordinary methods
of religious work. The means of Gods
providence are always sufficient for its
ends. Thus the necessary funds for sus
tanning the men required to carry on
this movement are placed in Mr., Moody.
hands by dcvOlt men and women who
feel moved of God to make this DISPOSE

Mr.. Moody asks money of no one but
of Him to whom belongs the world and

TRUST CHILDREN.

Never accuse acbiId of fault unless you
are certain it committed it. Children
should not be treated with suspicion
We should act toward them in this mat
ter as we feel we ought to act toward
others, only with greater tenderness-not
less, as is usually done. We should al
ways put the best construction possible
upon their conduct; that is, unless you
are sure a child is telling a lie, and can
prove it, do not show the smallest hesita-
ton in believing what it says. Far bet
ter that you should be deceived than to
run the risk of showing a truthful child
that you do not trust it. Your simple
trust makes a lying child truthful
Your doubt of its truthfuln2ss may
make truthful child a liar.

.TOBACCO CULTURE.

1t is an established TACT that tobacco
furnishes employment to more people
than any other crop raised or article pro-
duced. The estimated consumption OF
it by the world is ,3I2, 800 tons, rcquir-
ing over million persons to cultivate
and prepare for market, and over 3.OoO,-
900 gain a livelihood directly by the
worlds use oft. The collections from
tobacco, for thirteen years, to 1875 in
elusive, for the United States internal
revenue, foot up the sum Of $31 303, 46l.
No plant is more universally used than
tobacco, and the farmer who raises it
may expect that he will soon find an aF-
petite for it, a want at least as great as
the population, and a universal market;
every ,Irru,lr shows a marked increase in
it, consumption and n steadily growing
marErt demand. The worlds production
of tobacco at tho present day is estimated
5000, 10000 pounds annually, and not
withstanding the production is 20 i'm
mpnse, it is aduItcrated before it reaches
the consumer to a greater extent than
any other agricultural product L'-

ITOME11EE 4 HUNDRED TE4Rs AGO

One hundred years ago not pound Of
coal or cubic foot of illuminating gss
had been burned in the country. No
iron stoves were used, and no contriv-
ances for econOmizing heat were employ
ed until DR.. Franklin invented the iron
framed fire, place which bears his name
All the cooking and warming in town
and country were done by the aid of fire
kindle6I on the brick hearth or in the
brick oven, Pine-knots or tallow candles
furnished the light for the long winter
evenings, and 8anded floors supplied the
place of rugs and carpets. The water
used for household purposes was drawn
fromdcep wells by the creaking " sweep"
No form of pump was used in this Coun-
try, so lar as we learn, until after the
commencement Of the present century.
There we're no friction matches in those
early days, by the aid of which fire
could be easily kindIed, and ii the fire

and the timber was damp 50 that the

remained Of wading through the snow a
mile or SO, to borrow a brand of a neigh

rest the temperature was at zero during
many nights in the winter. The men

KEY WEST October 5.-The latest news
from Havana states that the insurgent
General Vincerte Garcia, before evacu.
atipg Las Tunas, burned down the whole
place, after having escorted the inhablt-
anti, sick and wounded, to some distance
from the city. The garrison was taken
along as prisoners, excepting Command
ing General Toledo and his officers, who
we're liberated. This latter step is very
suspicious, and the public is clamoring for
~ investigation into the behavior of the
officers.
Captain General Jovellar left Havana
night before last by q special train, with
two companies of veterans. He is going
first to the Jurisdiction OF Colon, where the
insurgents have burned q place named
Calemete. Hence he goes to Las Tunas.
The newspapers here say that. Jovellar goes
to prepare matters for the coming winter
campaign, but there 10 no doubt that re
cent events have decided his sudden de-
parture Matters have come to look serious.
The insurgents have lately shO vn much

It e said the government intends not to
