this maynlficent yellow rose" and he bent
over the flowers and drank in the perfume of
each.

pause, during which he plucked a sprig from

ing for food, your honor, but at sight of these
beautiful flowers my soul hungered to possess
them: l know 1t was wrong, but Z couldn't
help IT, have an eye, an ear, q heart for the
t beautiful Il !, Ny soul craved it and my hand
Weren't you here once before mo for
stealing ?" asked the Judge.
IL believe was. In an unlucky moment
my ear caught the sweet notes of Mrs.
Jones's beautiful canary. 1t seemed that
every time passed the house the bird was
pouring forth its soul In song. was en-
tranced with the melody"
"And SO one day you reached in the window
with pole, lifted the cage from it's hook and
eyes, Judge, did: and to tell the truth,
never felt such perfect happiness and con-
tentment as [ felt that day, when had the
golden-throated songster in my possession
and could claim It as my own, as it were. My
tastes are aesthetic to degree
you sold the bird and cage afterwards for
TWENTY cents and drink of whisky, be-
lieve? 7"
Il must admit that you are again correct,
Judge"
And you were breaking for the same dog
gerry this time, with these flowers in your
arms, II | mistake not?"

but please remember my weakness for the
beautiful In nature, and temper justice with
mercy"

The prisoner moved off, remarkinG, Il
have long been apprehensive that my aesthetic
tastes would lead me Into dangerous places,
and then, pausing on the threshold, he took
one long, lingering look at the flowers, and
said:
IF I only could take the heliotfope and
that pale yellow rose with me, my incaree
ration would be esteemed blessing rather

THE San Antonio Exp,ess
thinks it would be a good idea
for members of congress from
the northern states to visit the
south, and members of congress
from the southern states to visit
the north on their way to Wash
ington this winter, in order that
they may talk with the people
and understand their feeling
towards the different sections of
the country. The politicians of
the north would have the peo-
pie of their section of the coun-
try believe that the south enter.
tains a bitter hatred of them
The hatred in the main is con-
fined to the politicians and to a
class of stalwart papers that
can not'tell the truth under any
circumstances. 1t is certainly
high time that sectional feeling
and sectional animosities should
die out. The war has been over
for nearly fifteen years, and the
issues that brought it on were
settled by its close.

CERTAIN saloon keepers in
San Antonio have undertaken
the task of sitting down on the
Er6'f5s for the purpose of com
pletely squelehing it. The En-
press had the temerity to say
that the bell punch law, being
on the statute" book, should
be obeyed, which it seems it is
not. The dissatisfied parties
have been carrying a document
around the city asking sigma
lures of persons pledging them
selves to Withdraw their patro-
mage from thet Exp,ess and to
work against aitsin every way
possible. These parties have
not succeeded in soaring the
proprietors of the, paper and it
will -continu e,aon in the even
tenor of its way long after
the document is forgotten: No
newspaper of any responsibility
or standing can afford to, OF. will
champion a violation of law.

the people will ,be.fouind on the

In manufacturing industries
the south is very far behind,
much farther than is generally
supposed. In 1870 the number
engaged in manufacturing in
the eastern states was 1885,
SoS; in the western states $780,
o2I and in the southern states
only IS6,47o. 1t is estimated
that in 1880 the figures will be
as follows: eastern states, 1884,
1868; western, o94,5I2; and
southern 25S,3So. The num-
Der engaged in manufacturing
in the west has increased nearly
thre hundred per cent, while in
the eastern states it is only
ABOUT thlrty-three per cent; in
the southern states the increase
is not quite a hundred per cent.
The western states are making
giant strides in the,way of man
ufacturing industries and will in
the course of decade probably
surpass the east. The south

to agriculture as is shown by
the following figures from the

An exchange says that there
is some talk of a new paper at
BRENNAN. If the citizens of
that place act sensibly, they will
unite all their energies upon
the BANNER. 1t is conducted
with industry and talent, and if
a few discontinued spirits were
to succeed in killing it. off, it
would perhaps be many years
before BRENNAN would get such
another representative Of the
place and section. One paper
in a place like BRENNAN, or, in
fact, in most Texas towns, is
sufficient, and far better than
two or more journals that exc
out a half starved, miserable
existence. Patronize the BAN
NER, build it up, and enable its
thrifty proprietors to double its
size. That's busmes, and good
management for the town and
country. which viii relize more

us that business men and pro-

brought to realize the vaiue of

In 1872 Radicalism swept the
country. The following year
Ohio elected a Democratic
Governor, and in 1874 Grantism
was completely overthrown and
almost annihilated. In 1876
the Democrats gained their
most important victory by cleo
ting a President, not only by
the popular vote but by an
honest count Of the electoral
vote. If the party, therefore,
meets, with reverse or two
this year, it does not follow it
