XANTIPPE.

1t seems that the memory of this woman,
like that Of her renowned husband, Is like
IL to be kept alive TO the end Of time. She
Is said to have possessed very irritable
temper, and her name has become a sy.
nonym OF "vixen," or "scOld." 1t Is more
than possible, however, that the judgment
passed upon her by mankind has been too
severe. A more charitable disposition
would undoubtedly have discovered In
her, many good qualities, and have at.
tributed her failings more to physical mfr.
mites than to moral obliquity. The party
most intimately acquainted with her, and
therefore best able to form correct opin-
ion, gives her credit for many domestic
virtues. tits now well known that many OF
the diseases to which women, are subject,
have a direct tendency to render them irri'
table, pceVish, cross, morose, unreasonable,
SO that they chafe and fret over all those
little ills and annoyances that person in
health would bear with composure. 1t Is
fair to infer that most OF the tantrums Of
Xantippe were due to these causes alone:
and could Socrates, as he returned from the
Senate, the Gymnasium, or the Atheneum,
have stopped at Pestle & Mortars Drug
Store and carried home bottle of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, now and
then, no doubt he might have evaded many
"curtain lecture" allaycd many "do'
nestle broil," made It much pleasnter for
the children, and more enjoyable for him
self, and rescued his wife's name from the
unenviable, worldwide, aud eternal noto'
riety it has attained. Thousands OF women
bless tho dayton which Dr. Pierces' FavoritG
Prescription was first made known to them
A single bottle often gives delicate and
suffering women more relief than months
of treatment from their family physician
In all those arrangements causing back
ache, dragging.down sensations, nervous
and general debility, 1t Is sovereign

REMARKS.

The run OF hogs has been lighter this
week than It was last, and following the
generally light receipts for some weeks
past, prices have advanced to 10Aa119lo, a
few prime selling as high as l2c. The qual :
ity generally has not been as good as it was
last week, though the few sold at the ex.
IRENE top figure were perhaps better than
any sold at the highest figures OF last week.
The next change In prices may be to lower
figures, but 1t is not Immediately antici.

REMARKS.

The quality Of the receipts this week is
not materially different from last week S
offerings. Prices have slightly improved.
The demand has been little more active,
especially for good sheep, few Of any other
kind being wanted, and such are very hard
to sell at any price. Quotations 4Ha7Hc,

The market showed at times this week a
slight degree more OF activity than 1t did
last week, but It did not long continue so,
becoming before the close quite slow, and SO
remained till the end Of operations. The

week, there being better tops and better

there were also few OF a more inferior

PRAYER OF DIR. FRANKLIN.
Froud Of His Pastor.
Boston Travsller.l /


An aged and excellent Christian
man, beloved by all who knew him,
recently bewailed the fact that his
talented pastor, whom he much
loved, would persist in owning and
driving fast horses, and even claim
ed to have some of the fastest and
best in. New England. Talking
with a friend the other day, he said,
"Only think of it, he goes out to
the milldam and drives fast there,
and even races, and they do say
worse than that, he goes to the race
course and drives his fast horses
there. 1t is too bad, isn't it?' 81
don't know about that" was the re-
sponse, "Out l know he goes to the
tracks, for l saw him there the
other day, driving his favorite horse
against another fine animal" The
friend then proceeded at some
length to describe very closely
contested and interesting race,
dwelling on the last portion of it
where the animals we're about even,
when he was interrupted by the in
quiry, "Well, well, how did it end?
Who beat? Who beat?" "0h, your
paStorl' was the reply, and de-
Scription was given Of the magnif-
cent closing squirt with which the
race was won. "Did he beat?"
said the now excited old gentle
man, care you sure he beat?' "Yes,' .
was the reply. "Good. That's
goodp he exclaimed, as his face
beamed with joy. "That's almost
too good to be true. / know ou1
pastor is true grit, and l wish he
wouldn't race horses. But if he
will race, / do love to have him win.
! love him so well l want to have
him succeed in everything"

RUSSIANS AND GERMANS.
Probable Results in Case OF a Euro.
pean War.

peaH WAT.
In the event of a European war,
which seems imminent now, it will
be interesting to know something
about the men who are at the head
of the Russian empire-the great
power which will place in the field
the largest army ever known in the
history of warfare. Emperor Alex
ander, who has never been a strong
man, is growing weaker as he grows
older; and, although he is but fifty
eight years Of age, he has become
well nigh senile. The recent re
ports of his intended abdioation in
his sons favor probably had their
origin more in the wishes of the
people than in the desires of the
Emperor himself, for absolute SOW
ereignty is not the kind of bauble
that even a weak man would care
to throw away, Alexander has
always been an intense admirer Of
his uncle, the German Emperor,
and has been more or less subject
to German influence. All the best
posts in the Russian service are
filled by Germans, even to the place
of the commander of the great Rus
sian army Of conquest in the East,
which is filled by one Kaufman.
The Russian people have no fond
ness for the Germans, and this pref
erence for their old-time enemies
fills them with disgust. The Cars
| physical unsoundness is as con-
Spicuous as was his fathers extra
ordinary bodily vigor, and this fact
places him at a disadvantage among
so hardy a race as the Russians.
But his son and heir, the Czaro-
witz, supplies in his character, per-
son and opinions many of the de-
ficiencies of his imperial father
He hates the Germans as intensely
as his father loves them, is init.
mately associated with the anti.
German feeling of the country, ant
is naughty and imperious where hi
father is weak and complaisant. Il
is the old story Of an heir-appa
rent allying himself with a power
full opposition to gain popularity
and it is pretty tolerably certain
that the Czarowitz is more popula
to-day than the Emperor. In til,
event, therefore, Of a general Euro
pean war it is not unlikely that in
fuence would be brought to bea
which will procure the abdicatiol
of Alexander II, and the success
| sion Of the young Nicholas to tn
, throne. Another convenient fit {

Mr.. j. McLendon, formerly of
this State, writing to the Troy
Messenger from Milford, Ellis
county, Texas, says:
"This part Of the State is oyerun
with the great tide of immigration.
Every little hut is crowded, many
having two or more families living
in them, and in numerous cases
there are families living in tents,
building material being scarce.
There are thousands of people in
this portion of the State who have
neither houses nor money,
admit that there are rich lands
throughout the State, but the truth
of the matter is Texas is greatly
overrated. A great many of us
here have to haul our water from
sloughs, often a mile or more dis
tant, and it is by no means pure
either. In this vicinity we haul all
our frewood from three to seven
miles; timber for fencing purposes,
much further. Renters pay one.
fourth of the cotton and one-third
Of the grain produced, and have to
house the landlords share for him.
Our surplus crop does not COM
monty bring us enough to buy ouI
chewing tobacco. Our plowing we
do with Spanish ponies, which sub
sist upon the grass while the crop
is being made. These ponies, gen.
orally very poor, sell for $25 to $3S,
Every thing to eat is very high, gold
and silver never seen, and pretty
women are as scarce as hens teeth,
That's the way it is here"
