WHAT HE TOOK FOR LUNCH.

A young gentleman who is very well
known socially in the two cities is an in
vcterate practical joker. A few days
ago, during rain storm, he went into
q resta urant in tho afternoon aud took
a seat ut u table. Tho waiter in charge
of the table was a keen wittod, expert
enced fellow, and was thoroughly up to
his business. Presenting tho customer
with a bill of fare, the waiter stood re.
spectfully behind bis chair to take the
expected order. Tho young gentleman
leisurely looked over the list of cdiblcs
aud drinkablcs, and then half turning
around, he said drawlingIy:
Give nc m umbrella and dollar and
a half
Tho waiter stared at the customer and
then exclaimed: "Bey pardon, sir! What
did you say you wanted
Bring mo an umbrella and dollar
and q half was the nonchalant reply.
A twinkle appeared in the walters
eyes, but he merely bowed aud said:
Yes, sir. All right, sir
A hurried conference took place be.
tween the walter aud the proprietor,
during which there was considerable
snickering and gFinniug. The customer
sat perfectly quiet. which was not dis.
turbcd by tho return of thc waiter
with three silver half dollars on u plat
ter, and dingy, tattcrcd old ginghan
umbrella, which he placed beside the
guests chair.
Anything else, sirH said the waiter
coolly.
Yes, bring me cup of coffee
The coffee arrived, was soon finished,
and then the waiter laid u check beside
the empty cup. On tho check was wri t.
ten simply '2.55.'
Tho young gentleman looked at the
umbrella, tried to count the number ol
holes in it, but failed, glanced at the
immovab1c countcnance of the waiter
put on his hat, scratched his head mcdi
tatiyely, paid his bill and went out.

THE RAILROAD BRIDGE.

THE RAILROAD BRIDGE.
About three years ago my sailor friend, /,
Harry Moordale, went as passenger in
tho ship Tempest, bound to lIavrc, at
which port no arrived IN due course of
time. Among other passengers there
was beautiful Swiss s,rl, whose name
Harry learned was Mary Lorme. Her
step was like roc's, her teeth were as
white as the rim of u daisy, her voice
resembled the inklinS of u silver boil,
and pnrplc-black hair that fell in rip
pling masses below lhcr waist. My friend
had vcnturcd once or twice to address
the maiden, and her timid, modest half
frightened manner seemed TO rcpcl an
intimate acquaintance. She had infor-
med the young man, however, that she
had bOcn to New York to assist q female
cousin engaged in the dry good business;
that, soon aftor her arrival there, her
relative had died, largely in debt, where.
upon Mary had concluded to return
homo to her father, who, in spite of q
severe illness, had, in accordance with
an agreement by letter, como to Dijon
with tho old family coach to wait for
her. Having learned this much, Harry
took great interest in tho girl,and felt
almost bound to act the knight for ono
in her lonely, dcfensclcss condition.
When the boat-which, among other
passengers, contained her and him
struck tho landing, Harry politely
offered to carry the fair ones ct-bag,
which, containing, besides her clothing,
such articles as lowcrlincs for hosiery,
etc, was very heavy. She thanked him
with her usual sweet smile, just raising
the long lashes of her soft eyes, reveal
ing both orbs glistening like diamonds.
lie took the bag and tho young couple
entered the diligence which was to
carry them to Paris There they finally
arrived, ten minutes too late for that
days train. Tho travellers were infor
med, however, that there was another
train at station fifteen miles distant,
preparing to start in five hours
"ls there no conveyance to tho placer
quericd Harry.
He was answered in the negative by
the polite official.
II must go onw exclaimed Mary.
My father, am afraid, is very sick. l
must see him as soon as | can"
"Fifteen miles is long distance to
walk" said Harry.
mot for me- answered Mary, smiling,
The Swiss, you know, arc great walkers.
l have been brought up to it almost
from infancy
As her soft, pleading eyes seemed to
say, "You must - with me- Harry
could not resist tho appeal. They
started, moving a1ns tho railroad, for
there was no other way. Whenever,
they came to u log or Il rut, Harry would
extend his hand and assist his pretty
companion, when, with smilo aud q
shake of tho head, sho would leap over
the obstruction as nimbly as q lawn.
They had proceeded ten miles, when
they saw tho sun so down behind u
range of blue hills i'll tho distance. The

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-02-05

CeKE ought to be an exceedingly
soft money Democrat, for in the latter
part of 1874 and in 1875 he sold
81, 900, 900 Of Texas State bands, ex-
cepting q small proportion of the
amount, for 80 cents on the dollar in
national bank notes, valued at LIZ.
For about 81, 900 600 in deprecated
paper he ssddled the State with debt
Of s., 900, 0O0 to be paid in gold. And
this Is the finsncier that presumes to
show the people of these United States
the way out of a financial wilderness.
Influences operated in Coke's election
to the Senate to protect Texas from
bankruptcy under him. It was
accident that gave him Democratic
nomination the first time, when q hun
dred thousand majority was cast
against Davis, and it was official
that secured it for him the
second time with 9 msjority of 60, 900
votes, while 1t was in great measure
desire to protect the Stsse from bank
ruptcy that led to his election to the
United States Senate. The SrArEsaEAz
supported him for the Senate, simply
because It regarded him as . danger
ous Governor, while it hoped that bis
ambition being gratihed, he might
make fair Senator and that m Wssh-
inetOn he could do the State no harm.
