SLAVES OF DEBT.

In would be curious speculation
to inquire how long the people OF Eu-
rope will be likely to endure the enor-
nous load of debt under which they
are now grooming. No one believes
that the principal of the European
debts can be paid, and the war goes
on year by year, adding to both prln-
cipal and interest. If these frequent
" returning wars do not soon come to
an end it will be impossible to pay ev-
en- the interest Of these debts. Then
the great powers of the world will be
reduced to the condition of Turkey,
and be compelled to repudiate, and il
they 90 to war at all, carry it on in a
crippled and inefficient way. The on
lv use of their intOlerable debts that
any one can see is to compel the ma
tons, finally, to keep the peace.
At present, however, the people OF
Europe are slaves of debt. All the
fruits of their toll go to pay the inter
est on the enormous national Obllga-
tions. A condition of debt like this
is oppressive to all true freedom and
manliness. There is no form Of slav
cry more oppressive to nations or in
dividuals than that of debt.
The American people should take
timely warning from European exam
pies. The national debt which now
exists here should be paid off as soor
as possible. We should see to it, also
that no form of debt shall again be al
lowed to press upon the people. Fo
this purpose let US avoid, as we wOult
slavery and ruin, the perpetuation o
sectional animosities by the fanatica
and malignant politicians, whose evi
counsels if followed up would involv
us again in sectional and perhap
civil War.-BattimOre Sun.

ONpE HAIR IN HISTORY.

AS to the most beautiful color OF the
hair, it is now a point very much
contested, and it would be very bold
to pretend to establish the superiority
of one shade above another. 1t was
not the same in ancient times, and if
one listens to tradition, which is rarely
wrong, it is permissible to believe
that golden blonde was in those times
what might be called the privileged
color. The most beautiful ancient
types, Achilles, Menelaus, Meleager,
were blondes. Bacchus, the ideal of
ancient beauty, had golden hair. The
handsome Narcissus, the favorite of
Apollo, was pale, melancholy blonde.
Orpheus, in the picture which he
paints of Gree, the redoubtable
enchantress, represented her with
hair as ardent as the rays of the sun.
Catullus sang of the golden locks of
Berenice. The fair PhGbus isa type
become commonplace. At Rome,
golden hair was particularly in favor.
Messalina hid her beautiful black hair
under yellow wig.
"Nigrum flavo crinem abscondente galero.
-JrvENAL,
There were. nevertheless. certain
executions to this taste of the ancients.
The Egyptians and generally the
Arabs, affected great disdain fol
blonde hair. Apulus praises in the
beautiful Photos her hair black as
ebony. Horace celebrated Lycldas
with black hair and eyes. Solomon
the wisest of kings and grand amateur
of beauty, praises in his well beloved
her locks black and brilliant as ;
ravens wing. Descending to our owl
times, we see that in part. perhaps
the epoch in which we live, the rec
blonde, so dear to the ancients, ba
retained the artistic and poetica
value with which it was then sur
rounded.

he must have cast up his figures with
grim satisfaction. His life was moth
ing to him; he was through with it
now.
For two days and nights, as report
ed by Americans who happened to be
at Saltillo, a hundred or more Greasers
held the old man surrounded in ra
vine, just cowardly enough to plan
to starve him out, instead of dar-
ing to close in on him. On the morn
ing of the third day his mustang came
out. starved and thirsting. The lines
were closing in little nearer, when
old Jim Watson stalked out to meet
his fate. He had Henry rife and
two revOlvers. He stood in circle of
Infatuated Mexicans, and for half an
hour he kept them out Of range, drop
| ping horse or man at, every report.
| When he had no more cartridges he
broke his rifle across stone and took
shelter behind a bowlder. For half
an hour the Mexicans held him under
a hot rifle fire, and then the circle
closed in, some mounted and some on
foot. Even while thirsting for his
blood, they could not repress their ad
miration for the nerve and courage OF
the old man. He rose up, unframed
by their volleys, and with revolver
in either hand, he turned from right
to left and sent his last compliments
at the swarthy foe. He knew-he haG
to die, but he stood there as steady
and cool as a hunter firing at small
game.
They killed him. Aye, more thar
that; they cut his poor body int
strings almost; but they had as man,
dead and wounded to carry back t
Saltillo as a wagon would hold.
A hundred to one is long odds, Blu
old Texans care not for numbers whel
they look into the eyes of death an
know that their time has come.

went to bed one year ago, the owner
of fine ranch. He had thirty or forty
horses, several hundred head of cattle,
three hundred sheep, several good
buildings, wife and a son, and he had
several herdsmen in his employ.
At midnight the ranch was aroused
by the tramp of horses the yells of
men, the believing of cattle and the
barking of dogs. A band of Mexican
cattle-dealers had crossed the Rio
Grande. and made descent on the
ranch. There were at least forty OF
the marauders. and they had scarcely
appeared before the hearders escaped
in the darkness, leaving the old man
and his wife and son to defend the
ranch. Defend is the word. because
