A Cure for Filtration.

Various crude and unsatisfactory
schemes for the prevention Of flirting
on the part OF married women have
been tried from time to time. There
was a man in Iowa who cut off his
wife's beautiful yellow hair, on the
pretext that it was q vain and unchris-
tian adornment Of her person, but real
ly to prevent her from receiving visi-
tors until the hair should grow again.
This, however, seriously impaired the
wife's value and was merely modif-
cation Of the savage nose-breaking
process. Another man "a Chicago
person-constantIy spread abroad ru-
mors that his wife was suffering frcn
diptheria opsearlet fever; but finding
that there were young men who could
not be thus terrified, be finally con-
trived 10 have her inoculated With

ioyed the success of his ingenious
plan, but at the end Of that time his
wife died, putting him 10 the expense

The most noteworthy plan which
was ever devised for enforcing marital
fsithfulness was that tried by 9 Cali

Men go out in armies to destroy their

q soldier has fallen whose courage was
sublime, who went out to save and not

cent farms we discover the direction
given popular industrial habits and
tastes by Major Joe Sayers, Bob Hub
bard and others, whose horned cattle
are as beautiful as the best breeds that
roam over the blue grass region of
Kentucky. The lofty, rugged hills
southwest of Austin will yet become
the paradise of goatherds and ylue-

How otherwise can success in horticul-
ture, in farming or cattle growing be
rapidly achieved if farmers may not
learn facts from one another, and what
school was ever so success
full as this of competition open
ed on magnificent scale
by the Capital State Fair Association.
Property holders of the capital should
exert themselves in promotion of the
unrestricted success of the fair. Aus
tin is an attractive spot. God and ma
ture have done everything for it and
these property holders almost nothing.
They should at least aid the managers
of this fair who would gather here the
intelligence and wealth of the country
to be fascinated by physical and eli
matte charms of the place, matchless
in its ever varying landscapes and
picturesque scenery. II the street rail-
way may be extended to the fair
grounds the success of the exposition
would be unprecedented even as the
fortunes and fate of this capital de-
pend upon its ultimate extension into
the counties OF Northwestern Texas.

PARTI rs To 1HE NEW con-
FLICT.

The sgitators and the feather-weight
party leaders and the incapable and in
competent class that have made the
noise and led parties and monopolized
offices for some years past must stand
aloof. The earnest working people,
the conservative masses, the men who
have made the country great, who
have built railways and mills and cul.
tivated farms and own modest homes
and till the fields and drive the plane
and plow-these are they who propose
to ally themselves in one great
workingmen's party and against the
Communistic rabble led by Ben Butler
and Kearney in Massachusetts,, by Brit
ton A. Hill in the West, by Davis and
Hamman in Texas. 1t is time that the
true conservatism of the country was
organizing itself everywhere against
tramps and mObs like that of Wednes-
day which seized the hall at Worcester
and drove out decency and order to Fan
euil Hall. Plainly enough the conflict
Is unavoidable. Farming populations
are always conservative. Those OF the
South, in view of recent historical
events, in the midst of which adven-
turers and the reckless prospered and
modest, honest industry went down to
perdition or poverty, are to-day more
conservative than ever before. No
force Of sectional prejudice or devo-
ton to the negro could beget
violence or revolution or disor-
der in these States. When
Kearneyism appears here, even under
the modest guise of Greenbackism,
it is spurned and despised or ridiculed
and hated by the masses of the people.
Baseless paper means repudiation and
false faith. It makes honesty rot and
defiles public and private morals. We
have witnessed its doings in the Con-
federacy, and, long ago, in Texas. We
have heard of it in the days of wild
Cat banking in all the States. We have
seen England and France and the old
American confederation beggared by
fiat" currency. The ignorant and
idle aud adventures and tramps
and Communists, of sll of whom
Ben Butler is the choicest i'm
personation, everywhere North and
South, are slowly but surely con-
sohdated. The force is terrible,
the elements constituting it are desper-
ate and reckless. There is no "home-
stead" law operating upon it to insure
its conservatism and devotion to the
State. 1t has no anchorage at any
spot. 1t is homeless as Pomeroy, reck-
less and ruinous as~Kesrney and as
malignant. Against all this mighty
alliance of measureless evils living and
breathing and hungry and selfish and
full of Buffers vices, the conservatism
OF the country North and South must
be consolidated. 1t must save itself,
and to do this must govern the coun-
try.

drive him to insanity, murder or sui
eide in very brief time after the hon.
eymoon. He was well aware of the
difficulties of his position, but calmly
determined to prevent his wife from
flirting. and was strengthened In that
determination by the open pity which
his friends expressed for him. Ii so
happened that he had learned, through
some occult source, that the widows
teeth, which were marvelously peauti-
full, were false. He was the only hu-
man beng In Benicia who possessed
this terrible secret, and he felt we'll as
sured that it would enable HIM to re-
press all flirting tendencies on the part
OF his future bride. The honeymoon
was passed in travelling from place to
place In the State of California, and no
opportunity was given to the wife to
indulge her fondness for society other
than that of her husband. On the
very first morning after the pair re-
turned to Benicia the husband rose ear
ly, put his wife's entire set OF teeth in
his pocket, and coolly informed her
that hereafter he should never lesve
her alone without taking her teeth with
him. Tears, eptreaties and threats
had no effect upon him, and he car
ried off the teeth, remarking rs he
went out of the door that it was his
duty as husband to guard her from
the approaches Of designing men, and
to thus prevent any shadow of discord
from blighting their married happi-
ness.
For the next three months that un-
happy wife was never seen apart from
her husband. Scores of young men
who called upon her in his absence
were politely told that she was not at
home. Obviously, this was the only
course which she could pursue. Ev-
cry day, when her husband went to
business, he carried her teeth with
him, and she would sooner have died
than to have shown herself in a tooth
less state. Every evening her teeth
were restored to her, and she was per-
mitted to receive calls in her husbands
presence. The whole town was lost in
wonder at her absolute cessation of
flirting, and hundreds of husbands
were ready TO offer unlimited wealth to
learn how she had been so completely
subjugated.
Last week while the husband, with
the teeth in his pocket, was about to
leave his place of business and return
home, note from his wife was pnt
into his hands. 1t informed him that,
weary of his intolerable cruelty, she
had eloped. The companion of her
fight was man, both of whose legs
had been shot away. I'VE have offset
my teeth against his legs" said the
note, ''and we can overlook each 9TH
er's peculiaritles. BY this time the !
guilty pair are on their way to the |
East, where cork legs and false teeth |
can be had at q few days notice, and |
the deserted husband is convinced that
TO keep willful woman from flirting
is beyond the power o! man.

Every one is familiar with the 40
| pearance of the noble Newf0undlard
dog, whose splendid qualities, physi-
cal aud moral, are famous all over the
world. We still enjoy pre- eminenee
in producing the pure breed; and con-
siderable numbers OF them are exports
ed yearly, the demand for them in 9TH
er countries being still very great.
Their intelligence, gentleness, fidelity
and affection for their masters have
made them universal favorites; while
their aquatic propensities and powers.
which they often display in rescuinu
human beings from watery gr1vs,
add. greatly to their value. The true
Newfoundland dog is entirely black.
from twenty-siX 10 thirty inches in
height, of q powerful frame, majestic
appearance and benevolent expression
OF countenance. In this island they
seldom exceed twenty-six inches in
height, but in England they reach thir-
~ and IN rare cases thirty-two inches.

finest in the world, superior. even to
cur own. We have thus the prespect
of possessing shortly a still more mag
niticent race of dogs than the New
toundland. The specimens Of this new
breed have in one year grown to be
splendid animals, and by good Judges
are pronounced TO be the finest ever
seen in the country. They are expect
ed to propagate this year, but viii not
be full grown lll the third year.
The Beonberg Is tha result or slkiil-
ful crossing between the ST. Bernard,
the Newfoundland and the wolf dog
OF the PJrenees, and appears to cone
bine the best qualities of the three no
BILE races. Baron Essig of Leonberp.
of Wurtemberg, Germany, was the
breeder of this new species; and our
specimens were obtained direct from
his establishment, and were very care
fully selected. They are the favorites
of kings, princes and mobiles in Europe.
The Emperor of Austria has one OF
them, the Prince of Wales another,
Prince Bismarck and Garibaldi, the
Grand Duke Frederick, of Baden, and
scores OF other exalted personages are
possessors of the famous Leonberg. A
good specimen, we'll trained, often
sells for $50 sterling, and even as high
as e100. They are eagerly sought az
ter In all parts of the world to which
their fair fame has penetrated and
they thrive in all climates. At the
great dog shows of London, Paris, Vi
emma, Berlin, Baden and Lima in Peru.
they have carried off the foremost
prizes. In 1873, at the Paris dog
show, the first prizes of two gold med
ais were won by the Leonberg dogs.
They grow to be thirty or thirty-elx
inches in height, and are frequently
over 100 pounds in weight, with noble
heads and great symmetry of form.
They are exceedingly gentle, and pos
sess such intelligence that they can be
trained to do anything within the com
pass of doghood.
