HE court manifested some nppre
citation Of common decency yesterday,
by making an effort to repress the
unseemly demonstrations which have
marked the progress of the Guiteau
trial. If the audience which daily
assemblies there to witness the per
f)rmances of the assassin have nc
respect for the memory of the dis
tinguished dead, the court room
should be kept clear of spectators.

John Taphorn and his wife. who
keep a saloon in Cincinnati, were
aroused from their slumbers the other
night by what seemed to be an au-
thentic announcement that the world
was coming to an end instanter. The
floor sank and their bed gave way,
weird and unearthly shrek resounded
in their ears, q bell began to toll
solemnly just behind the foot-board.
q huge volume of smoke and steam
rolled over them, a miscellaneous
din tortured their ear.drums, and the
whole situation indicated nothing
less appalling than the crack Of doom.
After waiting moment for their own
particular summons they gained
courage to get up and investigate,
when they fonnd that a freight en-
gine had run off the track and into
their saloon, where it was at that
moment standing, very much in need
of refreshments, with its smoke stack
shamelessly thrust up through the
ceiling into the proprietor's bed

THE F0ILED BOOK AGENT.


A young man with large book under
his arm and seven by nine smile on
his face, stuck his head into the ticket
window at the Union Depot, and asked
the clerk what was the fare to San An
tonic.
''Two dollars and fifteen cents, re-
piled the ticket agent.
'1'm pining to leave Galveston, but |
lack just two dollars of the ticket
money. However, that shan't part us
I'll make practical cash payment Of
fifteen cents, and you take the rest out
in trade
"Nhat do you mean by taking it out
in trade? ?"
Il am book agent, and if you will
let me have the ticket, won't try to
sell you book | won't say book to
you once. This is the most liberal and
advantageous offer ever made to the
public, and you ought to take advan-
tage OF it. | have been known to talk
a sane man so completely out OF his
senses in fifteen minutes that he WASH t
fit to send to the Legislature after
wards.
"What book have you got!' asked
the ticket agent
A beaming smile came over the book
agents face, and, in a sing-song voice,
he began:
81 am offering, in seventeen volumes,
'Dr. Whitiletree's Observations in Pal
estine, book that comprises the views
Of the intelligent Doctor on what he
saw in the Holy Land, with numerous
speculatons and theories on what he
did not see. Although forming a COM
plete library of deep research, pure
theology and chaste imagery, ! am now
offering this invaluable encyclopedias
for the unprecedentedly low price of
two dollars a volume, which is really
giving it away for nothing:"
After the book agent had kept this
mp for about ten minutes, he began to
get discouraged, for, instead of showing
signs of weakening. the ticket agent,
with an ecstatic smile on his face,
begged the eloquent man to- keep ON.
The book agent stopped to rest his
jaw, when the ticket man reached out
his hand and said:
"Shake, old fel! Come inside and
take chair, and sing that all over
again. That cheers me up like a cock
tail. l used to be a book agent myself
before / reformed and went into the
railroad business, AMI that is like music
to me. 1t soothes me all oven. 1t
calls back hallowed memories of the
past, and makes me want to 90 out on
the road again. / would rather pay
$40 than have you leave Galveston
You must come around every day. L
could listen to that all day and cry for
more"
The book agent shut his book and
said
"Some internal hyena has given me
away; but there is another railroad that
can get out of this horse town on.
I'll not consent to ride on any road
that don't employ gentlemen who can
treat cash customer with common
politeness. You can't capture my book
on any terms, and ii you will come out
Of your cage I'll punch your head in
less time than you can punch a ticket. ;"
And he passed out like a beautiful
dream.-[Galveston News

The Weather for 1889

Professor George r. Gather. of Ala
bama, has now completed the
weather predictions for the Western
Farmers almanac, and furnished it with
a map showing thirteen weather districts,
covering nearly the whole area of the
United States. The weather has been
arranged for each month in 1882, for
each district separately, and to complete
its simplicity and efficiency, remarks
have been added explaining how to use
the tables for intermediate places. The
work is admirably arranged to suit the
convenience of the masses, and the full
fillment of its predictions, we have, no
doubt. will greatly increase the already
wide reputation of our Southern weather
prophet.

Admission of nakota

The Republicans having determined,
if possible, to increase their strength in
Congress by the admission of this terri
tory as the thirty.ninth State in the
Union, it may be well to inquire into
their chances Of success. The last cen
sus gave the Territory population of
134, 500, while, to be admitted as State,
and have one representative in the House,
she must have a population of 1888, 497.
This left her short in the last census
1897 of the requisite population. But
it has now been nearly eighteen months
since the census was taken, and as the
Northwestern Territories are rapidly
populated by the extension of railway
systems, it is probable that there has
been a large increase over the
census returns. Two great railways are
competing with each other in the south
ern portion of the Territory, while the
Northern Pacific passes through in the
north, and it is fair to presume that what
she lacks of the necessary population, the
Republicans will figure up on the impe-
tus given by these railroads. An early
contest on this question, therefore. is in
evItable, and in view of the present sta
tus of parties in Congress. the Democrats
will have as much as they can do to cor
rect doctored Republican statistics.
