A short time ago we called upon
a certain party in business in Val
lejO, and asked him why he did not
advertise in the Chronicle.
Z" Oh, because, = ne answered,
whats the use I? Nobody will ever
see it."
+" YOU'RE mistaken" said We;
every page in our paper is read"
Nonsense ~ he replied even If
they did read my advertisement,

more, I'm busy
And he walked back into his store

was helping itself from a barrel OF
sugar.
Time passed and we never again

although meeting him daily. Yes

sanctum, looking a little uncertain
as To how he would be received.
We cherished no hard feeling, and
motioned him TO chair.
81 suppose you heard of that lit
4 tie affair of mine below?
"Oh, yes" said we, "that little
escapadle on Kearney street night
before last Yes, we've got all the
particular"
"Hushl not 50 loud, please" said
he. "Of course you are going to
say nothing in the paper about it ~
HAnd why not? It's matter OF
interest to your friends and the peo-
pie generally .liv-4fy5.

We rose and touched him impress
sively on the shoulder. IL.
"Well, we will admit that the
people win see it, but then you

again J"
His words came back to him like
ia fash, and he trembled SO violently
THAT his eyeballs fairly jingled, and
he was such an object OF commits
Grafton that we promised to keep
| mum. This little moral is drawn
from the above, which is applica

Our present prospect for a crop, OF

needed one, Texans do; for the fail

financial pressure Texas ever wit
messed. Small grain is very light /;
in many instances, wheat will not

Politics is the all-absorbing topic of
the day, with candidates as thick

Lang and Roberts are the leading
aspirtnis &C., governor The former
is master of the state grange, and
will command heavy ballot at the
coming state convention, which
meets at Dallas in few days.
HancOck's nomination meets
with almost miyersd approval
throughout the state.
The recent trial of the celebrated
Currie case, involving the eowardly
murder Of Porter, the New York
actor, has created quite a sensation
among the PRES, all -aveTTins that

THE republicans are advocating

the slightest objection. No doubt

Rice Corn.

The people of Kansas are cuItiva-
ting new kind of grain called
"rice-corn," which grows to little
tuft holding several grains, each
something smaller than those Of
wheat. It is said that in all the
elements of nutrition, this rice-cOrn
is fully the equal of the older cerals,
and more nOurishing than Indian
corn. The Kansas board Of agricul-
ture has issued a report on the sub
iect, and it is evident that the whole
country will soon be cultivating
this new variety of corn. Fhe
plant does H1tt require moisture,
and grows anywhere, producing
sometimes sixty bushels Of corn to
the acre. The stalks make excellent
fuel, and, while growing, are not
touched by worms or grasshOppeFs.

THE Chicago Tribune has an ac-
count of visit, paid by Gen. Gar
field to a file factory. Very good
exercise. He went in to practice, OF
course; and he shall gnaw a file
when he comes to "chaw" the
Democratic ticket. And he shall
gnaw a file-the files Of the Poland
committee, for instance. And he
shall gnaw file-tO wit: the files
of his own party journals, comment
ing on the Credit Mobilier exposure.
And he shall gnaw a file-the tilesin
the DeGOlyer case. Let him read
in Ksop how a certain viper, well
skilled in gnawing, viper of great
gnawledge, gnawed file and the
| file got the best of it. Since Gen.
Garfield has been put up to gnawing
very had lot of files, it was just
the thing, like Hsop's viper, to
happen into a file factory, and as
the Tribune relates-''and he shall
gnaw a file; and flee unto the noun
tains of Hepsidam, where the lion
roareth and the whangdoOdle
mourneth for his first born. "-NdSIi-

Care of the Eyes.

Ihe most serious trouble with readers and
writer's is, as might be predicted from their
peculiar work, weak eyes. We find that en-
gravers' watchmakers, and all others who use
their eyes constantly in their work, take extra
care to preserve them by getting the best DOS.
slole hight by day and using the best artificial
light at night. The great army of writer's and
readers are careless, and most of them soo,er
or later, pay the penalty by being forced to
give up night work entirely-some to give nm
reading, except at short intervals under the
best conditions, and now and then one loses
the eyesight entirely after it is too late warn
ing. Crack, German, shorthand. or any other
characters differing from the plain Roman
type' makes double danger. The custom is
to laugh at all warnings till pain or weakness
makes attention imperative, and then il is Of.
ten too late avert the mischief Few compre.
,N1 nena the rast number we call million, but il
takes million letters to make a fair-szed VOL
ume OF 800 pages, forty lines to the page, fifty
ietters 10 the line. A reader makes an easy
day OF reading this, but his ewes must 20 over

ior the eyes. Every tyro knows that he should
nave the best light for reading, should shun
early dawn or twilight, should always stop at
the first signs of pain or WEAKNESS, etc. Most
know that the glare from the plain, white sur-
face is very trying, and that the eye is relieved
by tint. Recent experiments in Germany
are reported to Indicate some yellowish tint
as easiest for the eyes. Dark papers, inks that
show little color on first writing. faint lead
pencil marks that can be read only by strain
ing the eyes are fruitful sources Of mischief.
So is bad writing. The bad paper, ink and
pencils most OF our readers will have too good

which some publishers and most periodicals.
except the best, are guilty Of Offering, that no
publisher would dare attempt the experiment
