SAM HOUSTON AND THE HAM.

On recent business trip to Houston |
had for travelling companion weii-known
merchant of Galveston, who told story after
story Of earlier days in Texas. One struck
me as worth preserving.
"When my father first came here, said
then the capital of Texas. was put in a
grocery and provision store under a very
strict and parsimonious boss. One morn
ing, just as I had swept out, Tom. Gen.
Houston's body servant, came into the
store. Looking around he spied fine ham
"a "rara avis in those days. Having
asked the price, he said he would take it
and the President would call around and
pay for it. l felt proud of my sale, and
called the attention of the boss TO it as soon
as he came in.
did you get the money! he quickly
asked.
mo; but President Houston is coming
round to pay for it,
president Houston-the devil, Did Tom
say he would see it paid?9
No, sir
Then you are a fool. Now, sir, you go
straight to the Presidents kitchen and
bring me that ham, unless Tom will say it
shall be paid for.
81 started off, very much crestfallen,
and not liking the job. But resolutely
walked into the Presidents kitchen. Tom
was there. saw my ham lying there, with
a few slices cut off it, and Selling it, told
Tom, unless he would undertake to see
that the money was paid, l must take it
back.
Tom cogitated awhile, and then said:
young man, take back your meat. The
Gineral is a mighty good master. but a
poor paymaster, and don't keer to invol-
vitate myself with his debts.
"This was enough for me. l left with
the ham in my hand. Going around to the
gate had to pass the front door. There
stood General Houston, the President of
Texas, with pocket handkerchief in one
hand and toothpick in the other. My
little man., says he, in his superb manner,
'tell your master that | am under great
obligations for a most delicious breakfast,
and would pay him, but l haven't got the
cash. Texas is very poor, and, as her
President, must share her poverty"

A PICTURE.

We call upon all sensible people to mount
this picture and hang it on their walls:
Where is the common sense of our Ameri-
can people?
Survey the picture the rum iiend has hung
up before the vision of the people; 200, 900
liquor saloons would form street New
York to Philadelphia; 900,0 900 inebriates,
who, five abreast, would make process
sion equally extended; four saloons to every
school in the nation; four vendors to every
minister of Christ; 1000 funerals of drunk
ards every week; an amount of liquor an
nually distilled that would fill a canal one
hundred and twenty miles long, by four
teen feet wide and four feet deep, {. vast
army of fathers, sons, brothers and hus-
bands filing into prisons, asylums, graves
and the ranks never decirnated; the drunken
incendary's torch illuminating nightly the
heavens; blood shed by intoxicated assas-
sins, reddening night by night the ground;
a long procession of widows and orphans
made such by the drink demon; startling
statistics Of crime and poverty looming up
before the drowsy eye-balls of the people
like the pillars of cloud and flame; an ap-
palling panorama Of squandered fortunes,
crushed hopes, broken hearts, desolated
homes, and the cursed licensed and pro-
tected and defended by protested Christian

sB" Now. then. state your CASE said
Detroit lawyer. the other day, as he put
the five dollar bill away in his vest pocket.
Well began his client, "suppose the
man living next door wants to put up a
barn right up against my line, coming
within two feet of my house 80
"He can't do it, sir--can't do any such
thing" replied the lawyer.
"But | want to put my barn right up
against his line," remarked the client.
Oh-ah-yes, l see. Well, sir, go right
ahead and put your barn there. All the
law in the case is on your side"

BONNER'S FLOODED STOCK.

Robert Bonner has prepared full cata-
logue of the blooded stock at his farm and
city stable. There are 100 entries-5 stall
lions, three year old colt, 6 two year old
colts, 5 yearling colts, II geldings, five
year old gefdings, 5 four year old geldings,
three year old gedings, 2S brood mares,
Id mares in training five year old mares
and II fillies. The list includes Dexter,
with a record of 2.173I over 'long mile !"
Buffalo, and 2.21a to road wagon; Grafton
and Joe Elliott, each with record of 2. 15t {;
Startle, who has trotted at Fleetwood Park
in 10: Pocahontas, who has trotted in
2.17a on Mr.. Bonner's private track; Vel
lesley Boy, Peerless, Moslcy, Music, John
Taylor and Walton, whose records range
between 2274 and 2.2O!; Eric and Lady
Stout. who have come within 2.29, and s
trotters who have trotted in $3.50 or better.
Mr.. Bonner may congratulate himself
upon owning the largest stable of trotters
in the world. He began to buy horses
twenty years ago. His physician had re-
commended driving, and he soon found
that llo pleasure depended very much upon
the ra,r of speed of the horse he sat be-
hir6. lie says:
In those days Col. John Harper, Com
mCaore Vanderbilt and many other we'll
known gentlemen w:lc almost daily fire.

A FERRY WICKED SToRY-': There
wass another story continued Peter, with
a twinkle in his eye, but the same grum-
bling tone in his voice, ferry wicked; but
many's the time | will hef laugh at that
story. That wass about two men in boat,
and the night wass so black that they could
not tind their way into the harbor at all,
and the wind it was blowing ferry hard.
And the one he says to the other, Duncan,
you must gif a prayer now; or We will nefer
get into the harbor az all And Duncan
says, Il Gamma do it; you maun do it your
self, Donald And Donald he will say.
Lam you, Dudcan, if you do not gif a
prayer we will be drooned as sure as DEATH
for can see nothing but blackness.' And
SO it was that Duncan will stay in the stern
of the boat. and he will kneel down, and
he will say, 'OLord, it is fifteen years since
l hef asked you for any thing, but it will
be another fifteen years before l will ask
you for any thing more, if you will tex the
! boat into the harbor.' And, then, sure
enough at this moment there was great
sound of the boat going on the beach, and
Donald, that was up at the bow, he will
cry out, Stop, Duncan, do not pray any
more; do not be behofden TO anybody, be.
kass the boats ashore Already"

They had just taken the first premium at
Rice, on his return, to buy this pair for
me. Ultimately, of course, l shall be
obliged to reduce the numbers in my sta.

sition of fine horses in the manner have

love for the horse" Mr.. Bonner does not

A CHIRoPopIsT's CAKD.-A San Fran
cisco corn doctor was summoned by man
who lived four miles out of the city. Hast

files and acids, he walked through the
pouring rain to the address indicated. and
was shown into the parlor. The ply

the door opened and a tiorid man, with IN

you'd come out in this rain, but you're
regular brick, and l know it when | read
you card. l wish you'd come and live out
