How Sam Houston Happened to Go
to Texas.

During Sam Houston's residence
in the Cherokee Nation, west of Ar
kansas, he lived with daughter Of
old Captain John Rogers, an Indian,
about two and half miles west of
Fort Gibson. He was merchant,
but tried to conform tn the ways and
habits of the Indians, and in dress
wore the limiting shirt, buckskin
leggings and breech-clout of the In
dians. For the greater part of his
stay here he was under the influence
of liquor when it could be had, and
he was seldom without it. He
seemed, after residence Of two
years, to tire of the part he was act
ing, and during short periods OF
soberness became morose and sullen.
He was evidently comparing III his
mind his present mode of life with
the past, or worthless, drunken
white Indian with the proud Gov
ernor Of Tennessee.
1t was directly after one of his
long drunken spells that some Of the
Texas Cherokees brought news of the
war between Texas and Mexico.
Houston, although not yet sober,
walked out.on the banks of the Grand
river with John Henry. merchant.
Throwing himself down on the ground
he was silent for some time. AT
length, starting up quickly, he said
Henry, let US 90 to Texas. | am
tired of this country and this life. Go
with me and will make fortune
Tor US both. You merchant | Il
merchant! We are no more tit t
merchants than HI is for pow
der house. l am going. In that
new State I will make man of my
self again" He began at once max
ing preparations for the, at that time,
long journey. Casting at once aside
the Indian attire he came out dressed
as white man, and at once refused
the use of liquor offered him fire.
quently, as if by the stroke of the
magician's wand, he looked the man
and hero he very soon became after
his arrival in Texss.-Fort Smith

We Can,t Talk.

Without showing the condition of
our teeth. Every laugh exposes
them. In order not to be ashamed
of them let US use that standard denti-
frice, SOZODONT, which Is sure to
keep them white and spotless. No
tartar can encrust them, no canker
effect the enamel, no species of de-
cay infest the dental bone if SOZO-
DON'T is regularly used. 1t is a
botanical preparation, and its bene-
fetal effects on the teeth and gums
are marvellous, and it removes all
discolorations, and renders the gums
hard and rosy.

THE FUTURE OF THE COM.
STOCK.

The mining papers of the Eastern
States are beginning to pay consider
able attention totbe Comstock mines,
and thus betoken revival Of inter-
est in them. Their utterances are Of
some value, as they indicate thorough
knowledge Of the subject, together
with an impartial fairness very cred
table to them. From such an arti-
els In recent issue of the Chicago
Mining Review we quote:
As to the probable future of these
mines, an authority who has given
the subject much study cautiously
states: " The continuance of ore bod
les at great depths has already been
indicated AS probable. AS to the
yield of quartz lying in the lower
levels, 1t is more likely to be pre-
cisely what it is than to alter. Re-
membering that the preparation for
the depositions Of quartz belongs to
the period Of pressure, the deduction
would be that the quartz bodies may
be of smaller size in the lower levels,
because the partings of the strata
may have been less opened by the
pressure, while the ore may be rich
or, because the vertical sliding in
these consolidated rocks would be
greater than where there were great
masses of quartz to partially take up
the movement by their consolida-
tion. In fact, while the quartz may
diminish, the ore may really in
crease, both in quality and quanti-
ty." 1t has been indicated recently
that there were very favorable signs
of new bodies of ore at the lowest
depths yet reached.
From all that we haye been able
to learn concerning the subject, we
think that the indications are much
more favorable, and more hopeful
feeling prevails in regard to the fu-
ture of these important mines of Ne
vada.- bzAsN rRVEf .s.- tsf

THE CAPOUL BANG.
A New French Craze In Mems Hair.
dressing.

A new style of dressing mems hair
is raging at present in Paris and has
already shown signs of existence in
this city. The new abomination is
called the Capoul bang" from hay
ing been first inflicted upon human
sight by the reigning favorite tenor
in Paris, Capoul. A few weeks ago
an employe of one of the English
banks in this city returned from q
visit to Paris and with his hair cut
la Capoul. Before he could he
killed he taught the style to a fash
ionable barber in this city. Slowly,
but surely. like the advance of all
dread infections, the custom has been
spreading until there is great danger
that unless some firm stand is taken,
unless some war-like measure is re-
sorted to at once, the presence Of the
Cappul bang, accompanied by some
thing in male attire, may soon APP
pear unmolested at theaters and 9th
er places of resort. That it may he
recognized at night and frowned
down, g detailed description
OF the disease is hereby presented rs
obtained from the barber, who is still
unmolested spreading the seeds Of
contagion: The hair is cut short.
very short, on the back of the head
and up to the suture anneXing the
occipital with the parietal bones.
That portion of the hair covering the
parietal bones, and the rear Eortion
of the frontal is left comparatively
long. The extreme front fringe of
hair bordering the frontal bone and
covering the seat of intellect $50
called) is cut neither short nor long,
but strikes II happy medium between
the length obtaining on the occipital
and parietal regions. The hair hav-
ing been properly cut, the work of
dressing what. of it remains COM
mences. The short rear portion is
necessarily left uncombed. 1t IS
oiled to an appearance of silk and
left pasted flat to the skull. The
long central section is then parted
with geometrical correctness in the
center and agitated with gentle puffs,
ruffles and tucks. Then the genuine
Capoul feature of the work is begun
with the frontal quarter section. The
medium fringe is carefully disinte-
grated from the lengthier crop on the
crown, and combed down straight
toward the eyes. 1t will be seen by
the PSYCHOLOGISTS who have carefully
followed this description that the
hair in its sectionaliZed condition
represents the anatomical divisions
of the skull. The explanation of the
popularity the style possesses in
Paris among the dandies is, that
Capoul being the greatest favorite in
France among the ladies, this, like
every other fashion invented by him,
became at once the craze. AS an in-
ducement to our local handles to
adopt the style, it may be remarked
that ladies' man with his hair so
dressed loses the last distinguishing
feature between himself and lady's
lap dogs. F. Chronicle.

than the back of the old-fashioned
boy was. Miss Clara Sturgeon, a

under arrest for the crime. The
deadly weapon, as shown in court,
was not as big round as the large end

administered, yet dozen welts of

eggs, or maybe ostrich eggs, were
found on WilIie's back.

AR leap.year ball in St.
Louis recently rat, that had
wandered from his usual route, ran
on the floor among the dancers.
When discovered it caused shrieks
from the ladies. who first saw the
animal, and the shrieks soon becom-
ing infectious, skirts were gathered
with the hands around trim ankles.
The rat kept up the promenade about
the floor, finding no place of egress,
and, the panic increasing, the ladies
began to leap up on the chairs and
tables, forsaking their partners, and
soon the floor was cleared. The rat
which caused all this fright disap-
peared from the ballroom, and after
dilligent search it began to be whis-
pered that the thing was a hoax and
that no rat had been seen. The dance
was resumed and all went on swim
mingly until the early hours of the
morning, when the ball was about to
break up. One OF the musicians
then pulled forward the bag behind
him to inclose his instrument, when
the rat jumped from its mouth and
darted on the floor. This caused a
renewal of the panic and Illustration
among the ladies, who again had re-
course to wild screams and shrieks.
This time the rat was caught aud
killed, to the satisfaction of all who
had thus been disturbed iu their en-
joyment.

Our village, usually rich in incidents, has been very quiet of late, and the mantle or snow spread over our level sandy plains has
 put an efectual stop to early gardening opera
 tions, while our worthy 'tlords of the soiP' sit
 listlessly round the stoves at the village stores and wonder if the weather is never coming
 warm; and part of them, who have antic- ipated Dame Nature in their operations, are seriously wondering how long early peas and
 other seeds can stay in the ground without decay.
 Your correspondent got his pencil and paper all right for first-cIass accident, the other day, and then got swindIed entirely out of it. Two young gentlemen from the city rode past on their fiery, untamed steeds' at break neck pace. Shortly one of the f. u. steeds
 returned riderless, making his way back to
 the city. Imagine our disgust, on looking for I the pieces of the rider to see him coming all whole and not so much even as a limp. Some people never can do anything right. Then again, we had case of assault and battery all right, and the proprietor of the establishment I had to step in and stop the whole thing.

Senator HiII,s Denial.

Mrs. Lockwood's letter to Senator Hill, of
 Georgia, was shown to that gentleman, and,
 after reading it, he said '' It is 8 miserable,
 desperate lie, and the woman must be crazy
 to write such letter. It is outrageous to re-
 fer to persons in the general way she does,
 and attempt to scandalize whole families. I
 have never put but one person in any posi-
 ton here outside of the Capitol. I did get the public printer to give an old Whig friend of mine-an old journalist place in the Gov ernment printing office. have not influence enough with this Administration to get of fees for persons Now, don't know why this woman Lockwood pursues me in the way she does unless 1t is because l opposed her bill when it was before the Senate. Inot only voted against it, but refused to see her upon several occasions when she sent her card to me, and one day, when was passing through the cor ridor or lobby, she undertook to stop me to ! talk to me about her bill. I refused to stop or hold any conversation with her, and did ! hear about that time that she was threatening ! to get even with all the Senators who opposed l her bill This, Isuppose, is her grudge against me. In that very letter she admits, in effect, 1 that she has failed to substantiate her ! first attempt against me, and. therefore, she l makes new allegations. Now, as to MT. kel- logg, have never said anything about him
 in connection with this affair. neither ac- | ouse him nor acquit him."
 The bill to which MT. Hill refers as having voted against in the Senate was bill to eu- l thorize women to be admitted to practice before the United States Supreme l Court. Mrs. Lockwood maintains that the charges against Mir. Hill, sustained in her let l ter of yesterday, are true, and she claims that | she will produce the witnesses to prove them | whenever MT. Hill calls for the proof in 8
 court of justice.
