DIR. j. D. GALLOWAY, who died in
Dallas, Texas, a few days ago, had
twenty-five sons in the Confederate
army during the late war. Ten out OF
the twenty-five were killed on the battle
field. DR.. Galloway was famous also
for his wives, Of whom he had seven
teen, one at time. Some of the wives
died and from others he was divorced.
INTEMPERANcE is a frequent cause of
Bright's disease. Out of lao persons
who died in New York Of intemperance
in the six months ending June 80, TWEEN
ty-three, or nearly one-sixth died Of
Bright's disease. Twelve died from de-
irium tremens, and thirty-eight from
drunkenness in less-violent form. The
three chief nationalities were thus rep
resented; Irish, sixty-three; American
forty one; German, twenty-one. Twen-
ty-fve OF the victims of the vice were
single, sixty-five married, and twenty
three widowed.
TIE census statistics of Texas are
looming up magnifcently. No county
yet reports less than 100 per cent. in
crease, while many go to 200, and still
others to 500 over the population Of
1870. The city Of Dallas, from 800
people ten years ago, counting her i'm
mediate suburbs, or radius of two
miles from the Court House, goes to
$1,000. Dallas county, from 1884, in
1870, has 33, 1865 in 1880. Some Of the
now middle, but then border counties.
have swelled from a few hundred to
10000, and some Of the now border
counties from nothing to 4, 600 and s, 900.

A MOTHER'S LOTE.
BY MRS. ANNA NJ. cAswELL.

Though you sail DER the oceans coral strands,
Or roam far away to distant lands,
Visit halls of pleasure-go where you will
A mothers love doth follow thee still.
Though in halls of vice you squander and waste
Your riches and health, that longer would last,
Where vile comrades seek thy feet to ensnare,
Remember, her love doth follow thee there.
When far from thy home and all that is dear,
Where none for thy sorrow doth shed tear,
Then lend thought to thy mother, for she
Doth often, in solitude, weep for thee.
Though far from the paths Of virtue you stray,
Yet the fond mother doth earnestly pray
That the Holy Spirits guardian power
May shield her child in temptations hour.
How off have I seen her bending in prayer,
To ask of her Savior His guidance and care,
To teach her young child in the days of his youth
To follow his Maker in virtue and truth.
With what love does the fond mother eyertry
Her child's faults to hide from every eye,
But lone in his chamber gently doth chide,
And point him to Heaven-a hoher guide.
Would you know still more Of a mothers love?
Go, enter that cottage in yon shady grove;
There sits a lone mother, her eyes dim with tears;
From dear absent son sad tidings she hears.
The dark sea has become his resting place;
Never more can she see his youthful face,
And her heart wanders back to days gone by
When DER him she watched with mothers eye.
The pleasures of earth have for her no charms.
For the loved of her heart is torn from her arms
But q solace from Jesus is given now,
While to His m scepter she gently doth bow.
Devoted and true is that mothers love;
She casts all her care on Jesus above,
And hopes, when her pilgrimage here is DER.
To meet him again on brighter shore.
Who can measure the depths Of a mothers love?
TITS boundless gift from Heaven above;
o, trife thou not with a love SO rare,
'Tis dear, holy gift thatth dost share.

BIOGRAPHY.
Henry ". LossgfelIo,c.

Henry ". Lossgfeltoar.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was
born seventy-three years ago-on the
9th Of February, 1sO7-in Portland,
then a Massachusetts, town, and for al
most half century he has been resi-
dent of Cambridge. Graduated at Bow
dom College at the age Of Is, he gave
himself with youthful enthusiasm to the
culture Of elegant letters, and, after a
short time spent in the uncongemal
study Of the law, was called to the pro-
fessorship Of modern languages in his
alma mater. A few years later he was
appointed to similar professorship in
Harvard College, made vacant by the
resignation of its first incumbent, the
late George Ticknor. This Office he
filed for eighteen years, when he was
succeeded by another poet, recently ap-
pointed to the highest diplomatic trust
in the gift of the Government.
Meanwhile Longfellow had published
three delightful works in prose Outre-
Mer, . Hyperion and "Kavanagh''-
and hadwon for himself foremost place
among American poets. Since his resig-
nation Of the professorship at Cambridge
his pen has never been long idle. AS a
prose writer his reputation has been
dimmed'by his popularity as a poet; but
no one who has read his prose can ever
forget the simplicity and beauty Of his
style. The reader finds there the same
marks of a refined and scholarly taste
which largely characterize his poetry;
and, If he had adhered to that kind of
literary endeavor, he would probably
have riyaled Irving as a prose classic.
But Longfenow's inclinations led him in
o different direction; and few readers, if
any, will say that he was not right in
following what seemed to him the true
bent of his genius. However great and
durable the fame which he might have
acquired as prose writer, we could Ill
spare 1.-THE Voices of the Night, y
"Eyangeline," 'sThe Golden Legend, -
"The Courtship Of Miles Standish,' . the
marvellous translation of Dante, and the
innumerable short poems which are
familiar as household words. To have
written them is to have rendered serv-
ice to American literature which can
never be lightly estimated.

A KANSAS City reporter mounted the
train at way station, and at once, with
pencil and paper, began his inventory of
the distinguished personages who accom-
panied Gen. Grant from Galena. He
approached one short, thickset man,
with heavy, short beard, who sat pen
sively gazing from the window, with a
cigar in his mouth care you one of
the invited guests?" asked the reporter,
tapping the man on the shoulder. The
man said he was, and kept on smoking.

the reporter, notebook in hand. "nli-

Of centenarians. One lady registered at

WONDERFUL PROGRESS.

VAhSc nus dupXSc1ecW CeStCo Z oEVs
It is not too much to say that no great
invention which had not its beginning in
the decade of 1870 1850 has appeared in
the past thirty years. In that period
occurred $he most signal development
OF the applications Of chemistry to man
ufactures and agriculture an enormous
expansion of commerce by means OF
railroads and ocean steamships; the
discovery Of ether, and the perfection
and diffusion of some Of the most pre-
cious contributions ever made to the
welfare Of mankind. In 1885 only 984
miles Of railroad had been completed in
the Uniesd States in 1910 they had
been nearly trebled (2,818); in 1916
they had been nearly quadrupled g, 1859.
In 1885 Boston was connected with
Worcester, and Baltimore with Wash
ington; from Philadelphia the traveller
could go no farther West by rail than
the Susquehanna at Columbia. In 1889,
Ericsson brought over the propeller to
these hospitable shores. In 1910 the
Cunard line Of ocean steamers was es-
tablished, but for long time only
side-wheelers' were tolerated. The
first regular ship, the Britannia, reached
Boston after a trip Of fourteen days and
eight hours. Morse's telegraph, after
vain offers on both sides Of the Atlantic,
was at last subsidized by our own Gov
eminent, and in 1874 communication
was opened between Baltimore and
Washington. What hath God
wrought !" signaled Morse at the capital
to Alfred Vail at Baltimore. The news
dispatches to the press "by electro-tele-
graph" or "by magnetic telegraph" were
meager, while public patronage was so
timid that the wits Of the day made fun
of delighted father in Baltimore who
"wired" the news of the birth Of q
grandson to a postofice official at the
capital as If the mail were too Slow
at twenty miles an hour. In April,
1910, Goodyear was in the debtors
prison "a lodging almost as familiar to
him as his own home) in Boston; he
had the year before found the clew to
the vulcaniIng Of rubber, but the pro-
cess was not reduced to certainty till
1874. At about the same time, 1916 Al,
the Mccormick reaper was confirming
the independence Of the New World OF
the Old as a granary. CAS- late as 1886
3S wheat had been imported into the
United States from Portugal and the
Baltic.) The sewing machine devised
by Elias Howe in 1943 was patented in
1849, but the Importance OF this 1nven-
ton was not fully realized fcr more than
dozen years afterward. The daguer-
reotype dates from 1889, and in 1910 the
enterprising Mr.. Plumb began taking
ikenesses in Boston-with small sue
cess for some months. Five years later
his "galleries" were to be found not
only in that city, but in New York, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore, Washington and
even Dubuque, Iowa. Finally, July "a,
1S47, the patent was issued for Hoes
lightning press, with its impression
cylinder (the type revolving on a circu-
lar bed) and printing capacity of 10000
to 10000 impressions per hour.

SEASONING FOOD.

Many people have the idea that
fnely-favored dish must cost great
deal; that is mistake; if you have I'M
tainted meat or sound vegetables, or
even Indian meal, to begin with, you
can make it delicious with proper sea-
soning. One reason that French cook
ing is much nicer than any other is that
it is seasoned with q great variety Of
herbs and spices; these cost very little;
if you would buy few cents worth at
time, you would soon have a good as
sortment. The best kinds are sage,
thyme, sweet marjoran, tarragon, 1nint,
sweet basil, parsley, bay leaves, cloves,
mace. celery seed, and onions.
