HOW THE FARMER MISSED 1T,

If had told her in the spring
The old, old story briefly,
When the sparrrw and the robin began to sing,
And the ploughing was over chiefly.
But haste makes waste and the story sweet,
reasoned, will keep through the sowing,
Till drop the corn and plant the wheat,
And give them chance for growing.
Had even told the tale in June,
When the wind through the grass was blowing
Instead of thinking it rather too soon.
And waiting till after the moving!
Or had limited. out under the stars,
That knew a story worth hearing
Lingering to put up the pasture bars,
Nor waited to do the shearing!
Now the barn is full and so is the bin
But I've grown wise without glory,
Since love is the crop not gathered in;
Fer my neighbOr told her the story.

you mean and the captain" soon explained
himself '.You see, sir, the lady's head Is cram

add that the lady was instantly removed to q

The Bunch o. Grapes" tavern. greeting
With the mug in her hand, to me stepped Lie,
Whose liRhtness of foot neer forsook her:
Lie cast not down on the floor her eyes,
As round the waist there took her,
In the foaming mug now gazed intent,
And now upon Lie. the tender.
As she from topper to topper went,
As weasel as agile and slender.
With their forerunners, drink after drink
bravely managed to swallow
And stolen hand squeeze made me think
That kiss would be sure to follow.

The lake like silver gstened;

In wayering veil one listened.

Character i'm Voices.

An old writer OF sporting adventures, says:
81 have noticed as fact that struck me as be-
ing peculiar that the braveSt and largest wild
animals always had deep voices and that they
were generally melodious, full OF music as it
were, while the small fry, which would run
from common cur, had high, sharp voices. I
have hunted with some Of the bravest men, the
best scouts and the most famous hunters In the
West, and found that they also had heavy
highest order Of animals, those that were brave
and daring, were also deep in voice, and that
their tntOnatiOns never Jared on the ear.
tenors it struck me as an odd idea that thin
voiced animals were seldom so courageous TN
actual life as their deeper-tOned congeners and
this has caused me to express it here to see II 1t
is in any way founded on fact, or whether 1t Is
mere artificial system OF display"

10 Prevent Drowning.

An invention has just been patented
which appears to be simple and practical
means OF lcssening the number Of deaths
by drowning. A chemical preparation ls
inserted IN the portion Of the coat, waist
coat or dress. 1t does not add to the weight
or IN any way alter the appearance of the
garment, The preparation is inserted be-
tween the lining and the cloth in the case
OF coat it is placed on each side of the
breast and up the back. The moment a
man falls in the water the coat initiates and
he cannot keep his head under the waves.
Inc Invention was practically tested at the
swimming bath at the Sheffield Bath
Company. First, two small pieces of
linen, with part of the preparation inserted
between the folds, were thrown into the
water. The linen instantly inflated 80 as
to form miniature cushion and tioated
about the bath. An attendant of the COM
pany then put on coat with the prepara-
tion inserted in it. He first went under O.
shower bath, where be was thoroughly
drenched, to show that initiation would not
take place under the ordinary circumstances
of shower. Under the shower bath the
coat did not alter It's proportions in any
way whatever. The attendant then took
a "headcr' into the water. He reappeared
NJ the surface almost Immediately and the
coat properly inflated. Entering a part of
the bath deep enough to take him up to the
eyes he could not touch bottom at all and
the water scarcely reached his chin. BY X
strugg le he dived partly beneath the sur
face, but came up again instantly. Divest-
ing himself of the garment, it foated about
the bath until it was taken out. The in
ventor then attached piece Of lead weigh
ing three pounds to his appliance, which
presents the appearance of short, light
sleeve or lining, and threw it into the
water. The sleeve, on touching the water,
instantly expanded like a small bolster, and
foatcd about the bath well out of tho
water, sustaining the lead weight until
both were fished out. Tho experiments
were as interesting as successful. The in
ventor states that his apparatus, which
would simply form ali additional lining in
serted in portion of the garment, would
sustain q person in the water as long as he
could possibly endure the exposure. For
forty-tive or fifty hours it would be effcc-
tive for its purpose. In the event OF q
person losing consciousness, the lining in
the back would form a kind of bed, and
that in the breast pair of pillows, against
which his head would rest.

A Jewel OF n wife,

She was one of those women YOU
couldn't quarrel with. She was that agree
able that her old man got tired OF it, and
tried to have a row for a change. He
began chucking the things about at din
ncr time, and smashing the plates. But
she only smiled like an angel, and said,
Claw, ducky how lucky didn't put the
best service on to-day" And tho next
day she did put the best service on, and he
remembered it cost him eighteen guineas,
and he didn't care to spoil the net. Then
he took to stopping out late and coming
home drunk, but when nc staggered up
stairs she always welcomed him with a
smile, and caught him in her arms and
kissed him, and said, 'I wonder, John
dear, whatcver's been split on your coat ::
1t smells like spirits" Now, this was
enough to make any man wild. So one
evening he said to her quietly, ''Ish me,
my luvsh, I'm tcshicatcd' ~ ''Are you,
John 2" she answered; "why, you old
dear, I shouldn't have believed It," And
then she gave him sweet smile that made
him that mad he didn't know what to do.
But he wasn't going to be done; he de-
tcrmincd he would have row somehow or
other; 80 one night when she wouldn't be-
lievc he was drunk but kept on kissing
him and calling him all old dear, he lust
let out some strong language and hit her
On the head with the tire-lrons. She
smiled, but she didn't say anything in par
ticular. She took him by the hand III an
affectionatc manner, and led him down
stairs into the street, and kissed him, and
handed HIM over to policeman. And she
went down to the court the next morning

agreeable way, the reporters fell quite In
love with her. And when he was going
away she leant over the dock and kissed
him, and said, "Takc care of yourself.

day you come out" And the last thing he
saw as he went down the steps was his
amiablc wife kissing her hand to him and
smiling away as swcctly as ever.

tits the only republican paper in the coun.
ty. We intended to say in the city, but for
some unaccountable reason the word
county" took the place Of the word
city" Our thanks are due to those
calling attention to the mistake, particu-
larly 10 those papers which pointed ii
out by throwing mud, to the exten: of a
half column or more of space, which
ought 10 have been devoted to the inter-
csts of the principles they claim to repre-
sent, rather than to US for slight mistake,
which a single word would suffice to
make correct. We assert that the
TRANSCRIPT IS the only republican paper
III the city OF Austin, and that it will,
without fear or favor, advocate re.
publican principles, and support that
party, so leng Us it is in the right. We
shall not be its slave, as are those papers,
which, in their Llllipu,ian way, have at

is right, and according to our conscien.
t,ous belief. While urging republican
principles, we hold ourselves ever ready
to criticise the party and its men; and if
we see the parry being weakened and de-
feated by bad men and bad administra-
lion, we Will refuse such men our sup
port; and should the ia!rigues of these
men be too deep for the honest part of
the party to overcome, we believe the
party should suffer defeat for its own
publication. Dishonesty corruption, un
constitutional principles and acts should
be the enemies of every paper, irrespec-
tive of the party in which they exist; and
only in unyielding opposition to these,
though the party suffer temporary defeat,
can man truly serve party aud country
at the same time.

The ConKressi onal Can, paiRn

The campaign in the first district fol
the congressional Republican nomina
ton has been perhaps the most vigorous
one in the history of the district. Every
county has been closely contested. So
far Mr.. Dunnell is ahead, but with not q
vote to spare. If Cottonwood and Juck
son are carried for Dunnell, as confidently
expected by his friends, he will be nom
mated ON the first ballot. Should they
60 against him, he has even then a fair
show of success. We believe he will be
nominated. No other man can take his
place at this time. He is an experienced
hand at the helm. and exerts an lnflu.
ence such as no new man can. He will
be of great advantage to this district this
presidential year. His enemies are
among disappointed aspirants tor ottice
whose numbers always increase as con.
gressman's life increases. If the friends
Of Mr.. Dunnell stand manfuliy by him
now that he needs an untlinching support
he will be nominated.
