No two denominations look alike. Going

The Episcopalisns are dressy, radiant in

but less gay. Their style of dressing for

The magistrate was silent, but the
insult was not forgotten.
That night McBriar and McShOOt
were seated in the Magnolia, playing
poker with two cattle droveTs.
In consideration of the fact that
-McBriaT held rs many aces as he
wanted, aud had every loungeT in the
room telegrlphing TO him, it is not Sill
gular that he had already won some
two Thousand dollars.
Just then voice WAS card at the
door, saying, "Mcllriar, COMO out here
moment"
McBriar stepped TO the door, put out
his head, and the last vision on which
his mortal eyes rested was the out
ragged Justice of the Peace, behind a
double-barreled gOoSe-gm. The next
moment came a stunning report, and
McBriar had "the top of his head
blown of"
McShQlt ran to the assistance of his
friend, but he was promptly met by
the other barrel, and Off went the top
of ms head also.

Relief for Colds.

there is very unpleasant sensation of
chillineSs. The moment you observe
this go to your room and stay there.
Keep it at such a temperature as will
entirely prevent this chilly feeling,
even if itreqqires one hundred degrees
of FahIenheit. In addition put your
feet in water, half leg deep, as hot rs
you can bear it, adding hotter water
from time to time, for a quarter of an
hour, so that the water shall he hotter
when you take your feet out than
when you put them in. Then dry
them thoroughly, ana put on warm
thick stockings even If it be summer,
for summer colds are the most dam
gerOus. And for twenty-fOur hours
eat not an atom of food, but drink as
much as you like of any warm teas,
and at the end of that time. if not
sooner, the cold will effectullly be
broken, without any medicine what

The South and the Situation,

The South ca9lnt reasonably wonder
that in this controversy it suffers from
the Republican attack. 4 section
which recently emerged from dlsas-
tFOus conflict with the National power
cannot abet the Democratic movement
for destroying constitutional func-
tiOn Of the Executive without expos
ing itself to criticism. Rightly or
wrongly, ii incurs diStruSt: its motives
and purposes are suspected. And the
worst impressions are deepened when
its Representatives revive old threats,
repay fOrbeaTance with insults, in re-
turn for magnanimity give defiance,
and generally identify themselves with
the most obnoxious Interpretation of
the doctrines urged in defense of the
Democratic policy. If men like Chal-
mers really do represent the South, it
is evident that the sectienal eOnnict is
not ended. Yb6 sentiment which ena-
bled the Worth to put down the rebel
lion must be appealed to once more
10 protect in whatever manner may be
necessary the results OF victory. If, on
the contrary, Injustice is done to the
South by making il responsible for
Southern speeches in Congress, it
should find some means of correcting
the misapprehensiOn and arresting the
mischief from which il must suffer-

The Terror Of Mad-Mule Flat-AB,
rOpOs Of the Currie-POrter Murder
In Marshall, Texas.

Barney McIlriar was the hero and
terror of Mad-Mule Flat.
He was by profession 4 shOOtist, p
years Of age.
His sole stock in trade consisted OF
two navy revolyers, a couple of der
ringers and bowie knife. These ar
ticles never left his person.
He sustained life mainly by swal-
lowing daily an indefinite number of
whisky straights," for which no bar
keeper ever thought of demanding
pay.
fIe ruled Mad-Mule Flat with a rod
of iron. His four pistOl-bIrrelf were
four literal, ruling rods Of iron.
His body was adorned with cOmely
raiInent, lie lodged and fed sumptuOuS-
ly; his linen was of the purest and
whitest, yet like unto the wild lilies
Of the valley, he neither tOilcd nor
spun.
The Israelitish clothing dealer
groaned heavily in spirit when Barney
McBriar entered his establishment and
ordered of him a suit, yet he Yentured
no remOnstrance.
Why? Because it is unhealthy TO ir-
ritate a shOOtist.
Barney McBriar WAS Il shO0tist.

Courteous Railway officials.


The urhanity of conductors and 9TH
er employees on the railroads con-
tributes materially to the pleasure of
the west and northwest, Every one is
impressed with their OLliging dispOsi-
tiOn and ciYility rs cOntrasted with
the impatience and often rudeness of
the average railway employee in some
older States. In jOurneying ten thou
sand miles over the roads in Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and in
the vast country west of the Missouri
River, have everywhere found con-
ductOrs, ticket agents, baggage-men.
and brakesmen ready and willing TO
answer inquiries, aud to contribute
every way in their power to the COM
fort and pleasure of travellers. 1t is a
common thing for the conductors on
the long stretch of the Union Pacific
Railroad to voluntarily seat them
selves near you and point out the vari-
GUS objects of interest as the train
speeds Though Ne1Iaska, Wyoming
and Utah. This is new and pleasant
experience tn one whose railroad
travel may perhaps have been confined
to the eastern States. Perhaps one OK
planati0n of this CiYility and courtesy
lies in the fact that the railway trains
in the newer States are less crowded
and the employees have therefore more
time to he accommodating. But there
is always time to be civil, and it is APP
parent that the western roads make 4
point of securing employees who will
be p0litc to the public. The eastern
