HOW IT STRIKES 'EM.

If you want to know q man for what
he Is, take him in hot day. Most every
body has a way of standing cold wealth
er, b1t when the sun jumps the mercury
above nighty-five degrees human nature
becomes reckless. A citizen who waited
in the shade Of the post-office for aQuar
ter of an hour yesterday, had plenty Of
proof of this. The first one who ap
preached was a solid business man, his
hat on one side and his coat half off. The
other day he was crazy on the subject OF
politics, but yesterday, when asked how
he liked the nomination, he belched
out;
"What in Texas have got to do with
politics2 There's too much politics In
this country-too blasted muchi Iwon-
der what in blazss such weather as
this was sent to us for"
The next man Is usually looked upon
as o meek and humble-ninded oitizen.
He has been known to buy dog rather
than see 1t killed, and he refuses to fish
because he believes the hook hurts 'em.
He came along moppiDg his brow and
trying to get away from a sticky under
shirt, and was pleasantly asked IL the
weather suited him.
"See here, sirp' he began, as he bris-
tied up like fighting dog, "I mind my
own business and desire other people to
mind theirsl never did strike a man
yet, but want no impudence from you
or any ono elseW
asked If he could keep cool, and he
turned into the shade, pulled out his
handkerchief, and replied:
"Anthony Black insulted me In open
court about o month ago, and though L
did think 1 wouldn't pay any attention
to 1t, yet this hot wave has convinc-
ed me that 1t is my duty 10 slap his
mouth on sight. Have youseen him pass
here?'
The next man has local reputation as
a jolly, good-hearted fellow, and men
have known him for years without hear
ing him speak cross word. He toiled
along in the hot sun with the perspira-
ton running down his obeeks, and as he
reached the shade he was aocosted by a
bootblack. He took off his hat, wiped
his face, and then said:
"I believe you are the boy who cutm
horses tails off last week, and If you
don't go away from me I'll do you q
mortal inJuryp
There were several other instances to
show that while cold brings out the
CHEEKY in mans nature, heat parboils his
sentiment aud hardens his better feel
ings, In cold weather men will hunt for
a friend to drink with them. In sum
mer they will sneak off alone and 60 in
to saloon by the alley door. Not one
man in hundred will refuse to sign n
petition in the winter, but whom ap-
preached in the red-hot season they
won't even listen to two of the twenty
four reasons why they should sign. This
mysterious change must have been forci-
bly, felt by a leading citizen, who the
other day wrote a postal card, saying:
"In May 1 subscribed S25 to help
build the new church. If you come now
l will pay It. III you wat till hot wealth
or sets in I'll repudiate the subscription
and give you a chance to lick the sub;
scriber."

Prosperous louisiana.

The New Orleans Times, rejoicing that
the State electious In Louisiana alare now
separated from the Presidential
elections, says: Whatevar may be the
result of the general elections IN Novem-
Der, the title of our State Government 10
beyond dispute. Since 1876 party feeling
in the lower sense Of the term, has to
a great extent passed away in this State.
Largs crops AMI high prices have given
q mighty impulse to the prosperity of the
agricultural districts. Railways, which
our years ago were regarded as but 'the
bxseless fabric ofa Dream are now either
accomplished facts or certainties of the
near future. The resources ofLouisiana's
soil are exhaustiess, and nothing save
peace has been wanting to their develop
ment. Peace has come at last. Louisian-
ians will, of course, continue to be divi-
ded on party lines, but the time Is past
when elections meant a state of revolu-
ton.

the forenoon until dusk there--I turn
ed to the end of the column devoted to
the Great Robbery, and read, with a
chuckle, the announcement that "the
loss of the jewels would be less felt
had there not been between the two
bottoms of the box almost two hun
dred pounds in bank notes, of which,
unfortunately, the numbers had not
been taken"
Probably the intelligent reader sees
my plan;but certainly did not choose
TO explain it to Mr.. Muggridge, when,
an hour later, that worthy but excita-
BILE gentleman rode, very hot and very
red, up the shadeless road, to complain
of my having "made a confounded
mess of the account, you know" /
simply advised him to wait for few
days, and then / would be happy to
explain everything.
That evening, as usual, left the
grounds at dusk, after spending most
of the day in watching-though ap-
parently engaged in something else
whether any one went near the spot, a
few hundred yards from the grounds,
where lay the box on which l especi-
ally depended as q bait to hook the
thief. By walking slowly / managed
to let the shades of evening. close
around me before I was far beyond the
| spot where had made had made up
my mind to watch and wait.
Eight Nine Were they never
coming, and was my trap laid and
baited in vainf Ten Surely they
should have come by this time. Still
- Was that a sound on the road
Yes, and coming from the village too.
There were evidently several of them,
and 1 began to regret not having
brought some help. Nearer they came,
laughing and talking, as cautiously
drew farther back from the road. And
now they were opposite the spot where
the box lay hid. But-what They've
gone by; and in hearty guffaw of the
man farthest away of tho three I re-
cognize Farmer Lobbins, an honest
fellow, whose acquaintance had made
during my short stay.
After this sell had almost given up
and was actually making up my mind
to abandon the affair, when faint
sound from down the road made me
| CtOuCh do loW 90 poSoiulo OuCo ihoFc
1t was no hoax this time. A short, thir
man, whom / easily recognized as g
man. n-of-all-work who had been helping
the gardener that day, was creeping
stealthily down the road, close to the
bushes. AS soon as he reached the
spot where the box had been thrown,
he lit small lantern to aid him in his
search. This time felt sure and so,
when the man blew out the light, after
securing the supposed treasure, the
capture was made.
ooh! why, yes," observed the
wo rhy Mr.. Muggridge, who was in the
Office when l brought in the prisoner
that night, 81 thought as much I've
had my eyes on that fellow all along"
The man made confession indeed,
he was caught in the act, and could
not deny it. The jewels were all re-
covered, and the reward proved very
useful in helping me to marry and set
tie down quietly, when, one month
later, l received my promotion.

Will you, through the columns Of your
valuable paper, please inform myself and

tunate as to survive the Mexican war, why
our claims for some recognition from the gov
eminent for services rendered 10 that war are
80 persistently ignored by Congresse Were
we not as brave and patriotic as those who
served in tho last war? Did we not rs sol-
diers perform our whole duty, and did we
not by our exert'ons add millions upon mil
lions to the wealth of the countryf And yet
we are treated with as little consideration as
though we were the subjects Of the nation we
conquered.

are poor In this worlds goods and need the
fostering care Of generous government for
the remaining years allotted to us. And
what is our present position after waiting pa
tiently for tbirty-one years? We see those
who were sncklings when we were fighting
the battles Of their country and ours, lavish
" provided for, while we have the satisfac-
tioD of having done our duty.
Now, Mr.. Editor, is there either common
sense or justice, In the discrimination by Con-
gress against the Mexican soldier IL II mt
rather adding insult to injury? And should
not some concerted action be taken by those
interested to secure the necessary legislation
