the notorious Faithful gathered on sun
dry street corners, holding what might
be termed virtuous Indignation meet

these gentry appeared to be who is en-

to the victors. One man, an active

Swimming in Whiskey.

Darkeys down at Waco, which is the
Boston Of Texas in the matter of cul.
ture, had some glorious fun few days
ago. Revenue Collector Roberts seized
several hundred barrels of whiskey, and
as no purchaser could be found emptied
the stuff into Barron's branch, a small
stream near the city. All the negroes
Of the neighborhood, 10th to see such
stuff wasted, were present-somes squat
ting on the banks, some waist deep in
the middle of the stream, and others
actually swimming about. The barrels
were enptied and the darkeys drank.
In little while most of them were
groggy, but the torrent soon bore the
supply away. One old fellow, having
swallowed all he could, washed his face
in the river of alcohol.

Senator Bayard al Carlsbad.

Senator Bayard writes from Carlsbad
that the waters there are very effica
cious in variety of diseases and discr.
ders, but thinks that the relief expert
enced by sufferers is due much more to
the care and intelligence with which
the waters are administered than to
the intrinsic mineral properties Of the
springs. He thinks that If our hotels
at the springs were as we'll built and
managed as those in Europe, and the
waters utilized with the same careful
medical supervision, the Virginia and
other springs in this country would
prove as beneficial as any in the world.

and a Flow Of kOal"-SOft.Soaps
ing the W0unds Susaained In
Battle.
Last evening the rooms Of the Demo
cratic Association were filed with the
political magnates Of both parties. Al
ter the refreshments were partaken ol
the whole complexion Of the scene waa
instantly mstamorphosed into an as
celtic love feast and experience meeting.
Those filed with the spirit, softened
the auimus In their natures and theil
,ninistration to the wayward out Of the
aock, were indeed touching. The de-
featsd candidate for Treasurer was one
of the contrits like the suppliant bow
ing at the altar Of BaAl, hoping fol
peace but getting none.
Senator Sharplsy was the chief dis
seminator Of consolation and a. ht
labeled out the dishes Of taffy tht
hearers waxed tender and they became
as sucking lsmbs-nsver replets but
ysarnins for mere. H. deprecated The
necessity that compels partizan feeling
in its demarcation betw the demands
of friendship and an adherencs to polit.
ical duly. As the good fight had been
fought he hoped there would BE- q ming.
ling Of the extremes, that political aud
even personal feeling would be Sol
aside in obedience to the demand to'
public good.
Francis Vincent, defeated candidate
for Treasurer, agreed to what had beer
said by the Honorable Senator. h'
had been defeated, but the best rsasol
he could give for that defeat, he sale
was in the fact that there were . few
more Democratic votee. Mr.. Guthrie
he said was an honest man and gen
tleman; he had always found him so
and in his intercourse with him he hat
formed impressions which led him 4
believe that he was in every way quail
fed for .he position.
Mr.. Guthrie Of course replied givinl
his opinion of Mr.. Vincent's admins
tration which naturally was one OF tn
best. He was no speechmaker but h
would give expression to one sentimen
and that was that he desired only Il
perform the funtions Of his new position
with the same ability as has been dis
played by Mr.. Vincent.
Mr.. James II. Myers, Democrat, ex-
planned to the devotees that 1t was
mans duty to stick by his party, ane
also incumb bent upon them to nominate
their best man.
Philemma Chandler, Republican, fol
lowed. Men, he thought, were politi'
clans by circumstances. His brother
DR.. Swithin Chandler, was a stronl
Dem. while he was as stronga Rep. HI
never recognized party politics in so
cial intercourse. He thought 1t best Il
mingle together in harmony, ant
hoped that there would be harmony
of action in the new body.
There were other speakers but thu
experiences were of a character simil a
to those given above. The love feas
closed about midnight.
