Health and Happiness.

1t seems strange that anyone will suf-
fer many arrangements brought on by
an impure condition of the blood, when
Scoville's Blood and Liver syrup will
restore perfect health to the physical
organization 1t is indeed a strengthen
ing syrup, pleasant 10 take, and has
proven itself to he the best blood puri-
fer ever discovered, effectually curing
Scrofula, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness
of the Kidneys, all nervous disorders
and Debility. 1t corrects indigestion.
1t makes the old feel young, and the
young feel gay; and will Invariably
drive out of the system the many ills
that human flesh is heir to. A single
bottle will prove to you its merits as q
health renewer, for it acts like q charm,
especially when the complaint is of an
exhaustive nature, having a tendency
to lessen the natural vigor of the brain
and nervous system. For sale by II. G.

The Stature Of Different Races of Men.

In comparing races as to their stature,
we concern ourselves not with the tall
est or shortest men of each tribe, but
with the ordinary or average-sized men
who may be taken as fair representa-
tives of their whole tribe. The differ
ence of general stature Is well shown
where tall and short people come
together in one district. Thus, in Aus
tralia the average English colonist of
five feet eight inches looks clear over
the heads of the five feet four inch
Chinese laborers. Still more in Sweden
does the Swede of five feet seven inches
tower over the stunted Lapps, whose
average measure is not much over five
feet. Among the tallest of mankind are
the Patagonians, who seemed race OF
giants to the Europeans who first
watched them striding along their cliffs
draped in their skin cloaks; it was even
declared that the heads of Magalhaens'
men hardly reached the waist of the
first Patagonian they met. Modern
travellers find, on measuring them, that
they really often reach six feet four
inches, their mean height being about
five feet eleven inches-three or four
inches taller than average Englishmen.
The shortest of mankind are the Bush
men and related tribes in South Africa,
with an average height not far exceed
ing four feet six inches. A fair con-
trast between the tallest and shortest
races of mankind may be seen in the
Patagonian and Bushman, whose head
only reaches to the formers breast.
Thus the tallest race of men is less than
one-fourth higher than the shortest, q
fact which seems surprising to those not
used to measurements. In general, the
stature of the women of any race may
be taken as about one-sixteenth less
than that of the men. Thus, in Eng
land a man of five feet eight inches and
a woman of five feet four inches look an
ordinary well-matched couple.-E. B.

Wednesday morning, February End, in his 8Otb

The charge of inconsistency between
the Precepts and the practice Of Christian teach
ers is common. But one is a little surprised to
see it gently turned against the deceased Posi-
twist in friendly article in the Spectator of
London " In regard to marriage, the spirit of
George Eliot's books conveys an almost sacrs-
mental conception Of its binding sacredness
though, unfortunately, of course, her career did
much to weaken the authority of the TEACHING
implied in her book. "-PreSbyterian Journal. o

Keen. The mayor explained he had
called a meeting that steps might beTaken
in time to be prepared for the approach OF
smallpox, which was getting in danger
GUS proximity in everal towns around in
railroad connection with us.
The city physician, DR.. Brown. was
called on for his views of the situation,
which wire given somewhat extensively.
Alderman Solomon moved that $3.50 be
placed nj the disposal OF the mayor TO en-
able him 10 meet any emergency that
might arise from the breaking out of the
disease in our midst. Carried.
DIR. Wilkes moved that a committee be
appointed TO examine different points and
to report a suitable place 10 be used, 10
case of need. for a pcst-hOuSe. Carried.
1t was further moved that. the mayor is
sue a proclamation recommending thai
all needing it be vacCinated at orca, and
that for those unable 10 ply Tor il the city
would be responsible.
Our city.we apprehend,is in much more
danger from an epidemic of panic than OF
smallpox. If rumor does lis usual wo:k,
we venture the prediction that within
three days it will be reported that there
are a dozen cases OF the dis aSe in the city.
there Is no
other ground for it than that our city au'
thorities have met simply to take steps 10
keep it away or 10 circumscribe and pre-
vent its spread in case it were 10 reach us
No doubt, too. our mayor, with his usual
caution and characteristic good sense, will
take special pains In his accommodation

Then and Now.

In casual conversation in. our office
yesterday with Gen. J. b. Robertson
who has Just returned from a trip t.
southern Texas, he related little incl
dent which caused us to make a com.
parison. He stated that he left Bren,
ham on Monday night, went to Austin
stayed there several hours, left for Hous.
ton, spent part of day in that city
and reached home in Waco Thursday
morning. In two days and one-half he
made the entire round, and stopped
along the way and transacted large
amount of business. We wonder if,
thirty years ago when General Robert
son was making the same round in the
saddle, and by hard riding got through
in three weeks, he ever thought that
he would live to he the 1.-the, hearty old
veteran that he is to-day and be able to
accomplish the same trip in a drawing
room coach or palace sleeping-car III two
and One-half days? Major Wiley Jones,
Capt. S..P. Ross, Mr.. George Barnard
and others can tell of the quick trips
made In those days with OK and mule
teams from Houston and Austin to
Waco, but we doubt if any of them
thirty years ago dreamed that in 1882,
they could traverse the state from one
end to the other with ease and comfort
IN palatial cars, and yet it is about to
be accomplished, in fact we may say
has been, and all OF those whom we
have mentioned and many others of the
pioneers are here to witness the marked
of a decade and can cast their
eye forward and see, only few years
ahead, still greater achievements to be
by the hand of enterprise, and
given life and energy by the demands
IF increased population and the spirit
If progress, predominant IN the closing
quarter of the nineteenth century.

\ Singular Freak.

! Yesterday morning a man, who's.
name we learned was Jack Gramble, wal
| passing up Austin street, and when il
front of Sparks, Mallory & Aliens
clothing house, he deliberately took q
bat from the front OF the store placed
it upon his head and walked off. The
theft was soon discovered and Marshal
Moore's aid invoked to assist in arrest
ing the party. Mr.. Moore found him on
Fourth street and at once placed him
under arrest. At first he was
somewhat obstreperous, but was finally
prevailed upon to go to the county Jail.
Along the way be applied some very IN
shifting language to the marshal and
gave evidence that he was somewhat I'M
der the influence of LIQUOR. When he
arrived at the jail MIR. Sy. McGhee I'M
dertook to search him, when he again
became vicious and showed fight. Mr.
McGhee had to handle him somewhat
roughly, and got several heavy jolts from
the prisonerwhen Mr.. Moore interfered
aud had him placed safely behind, THE
bars. Inc nlan was very respectable in
appearance AMI wouldno be suspected of
descending to so Low thing as the theft
of hat. He is said to live III ms coun-
ty and is known by quite a number of
people. Since being placed in jail and
getting over his partial inebriation, we
learn that he disclaims any intention of
stealing the hat and insists that it was
al joke. The proprietors of the house
md the officers, however, claim that, like
he fugitive borrowing the soldiers horse
re carried the joke too far.
