TWO of the most celebrated artists tho
world has ever known dwelt In the

beauty In all It's graces OF tint, form and mo.
ton. His portraits were instinct with the
charm OF physical vig,E The graceful,
half. voluptuous outline of form and feature
harmonic ID with delicatcly blended tints.
On his canvas, the homeliest faces had an
almost irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only In depicting weird and
gloomy subjects. Above all, did he excel In
painting the portraits CT the dying, The
agonizlng denth.throe, the CHASTITY mce and
FORM were all depicted with marvellous
ddellty. There existed between these ar
lists the most intense dislike. At length
this dislike illuminated, The beauty loving
artist had been engaged In painting the
portrait of a beautiful woman. Connolseurs
pronounced IL the most wonderful piece OF
art that had ever been produced. His BROTH
or artist was jealous of his fame and sought
revenge. BY bribIng the keeper OF the studio
he gained access to the picture each night.
AT first he was content 10 only dedden the
brilliancy of the complexion and eyes, Of
face the bloom from the cheek ana lip
and paint shadow on either cheek.
Later, his strokes grew boiler and freer,
and one morning the artist awoke
TO find the entire outline of the por-
trait changed He could scarcely II cog
nizc In the emaclated form and haggard
countenance tho glowing conception he had
embodiei. The pallid flce aud expressions
less eyes he had attributed to n lack OF gem
uineness in his materials; but when the
outlines were changed he suspected the
cause and Indignantly dismissed the keeper
What the revengeiul artist marrod by few
rapid strokes of his skllliul brush was only
restored by years of patient industry.

who paints the flowers and GRASSY carpet
no less than the human form divine-Dis-
ease, the dreaded artist who revels among
the ruins both Of nature ami humanity
and Carolessness, the keeper to whom Health
often intrustS his portraits. And is 1t not
the beauty OF woman, the most admired OF
all the works which adoru the studio of
Health, that Disease ottenest seeks 10 mar
The slightest stroke OF his brush upon the
delicate organization leaves an imprint that
requires muoh skill ana patience 10 tiiace.
Restoration must he prompt. Carelessness
must be dismissed Let suffering women
heed the warning ere Disease has marred
their chief beauty -Health-beyond rcpara-

been used by thousands OF these sufferers,
and they are unanimous In their praise of
excellence. If you would be transformed

Cameron's "Across Africa" says that
on the death Of Urua chief II Is the
custom "to divert the stream, and In
its bed to dig an enormous pit, the bot
tom OF which IL then covered with
living women. At one end woman
In placed on her hands and knees, and
upon her back the dead chief, covered
with his beads and treasures, Ia seated,
being supported on either side by one
of his wives, while his second wife
sits at his feet. The earth Is then
shoveled In on them, and all the
women are buried alive, with the eX-
ception OF the second wife. To her
custom IL more mercful than to her
companions, and grants her the priv
ilege of being killed before the huge
grave Is filed In. This being compile
ted, number of male slaves-some-
tin es forty or llfty-are slaughtered
aud their blood poured over the grave;
after which the river is allowed to re-
sumo its course.n

A schOalmisfress.

An independent little Canadian
schoolmarm snubbed one of her big
scholars who tried TO make love to
her, and because he retaliated by dis
turbing the school, she gave him a
sound logging. His parents sued her
and recovered 50 80 damages. The
next day the girl opened school by
saying: II have whipped a BOBBY
soundly, which pleasure only cost
3 80. Now. II any others Of my
scholars are inclined TO initiate him,
they will have the kindness to step
forward, receive the money and the
flogging, and then we will go on with
our studies. ] am here TO instruct you,
not TO be courted.n She retains the
school and is the most popular girl In

To the Editor of The Herald:
We have just had an election In this
precinct, after an exciting and spirited
canvass Of two weeks, which resulted
in victory for the friends of local OPP
ton by about one hundred AMI fifty
votes.
Colonel Culberson spoke here yester-
day to large crowd for over two
hours, reviewing the action OF the
southern democrats In congress on the
electoral bill. His speech was mas.
terly one, and showed clearly that
those who opposed the passage OF
the bill cast more negative votes, and
when this question Is understood by
the people, all of those eighteen dem
ocrats in the house who opposed the
bill, will be made governors at the first
election.
Crops are generally good In this
county, no grasshoppers, no cause for
complaint but little too much rain.
The fruit prospects are splendid, and
health good.
Sulphur Springs boasts OF one OF the
finest schools In the state. 1t has now
one hundred and ninety students, and
increasing. In fact, the people OF
Hopkins county, ought to be contented
and happy. II.

THE waggish Hutch" the sprightly
local editor of the Eram6,er, gets off tho
following good one on--on-well, Wen
be hanged if we know if it is the lady,
the hopper or Hutch" himself upon
whom the joke rests But here it is,
and our readers will place it where they
please:
A lady in east Waco heard the grass
hoppers would not eat sailed vegetables.
AS a test she applied salt to her onion
bed, leaving only one onion unsalted.
Next morning she visited the garden
and was shocked to find the hopp ers
had eaten all the onions except the I'M,
sailed one, and it they had torn up by
the roots and were dragging it up and
down the rows trying to salt it.

The Southern Recorder, the Texas
Baptist and the Memphis BAPTIST, all
think Major Penn, the great lay
preacher and revivalist. ought to be or,
dained to the regular work of the min
istry. The Baptist HeraM and Major
Penn dissent from this position, and
the Major says; "As ! feel now, God
helping me, will suffer death in any
form in preference to ordination" We
speak as secular paper, Of course, and
it is our worldly Judgment that Major
Penn will not be ordained at present.
