diately after the termination of his visit
to Manitoba.
The s. F. Post is filled every day one
column deep with easy conundrums
under the head Of 1.-THE Post would like
to know" If these questions are adj
dressed to us privately with return
postage paid they shall be answered.
The Posts ignorance is probably owir g
to lack of early advantages.-Gozet
Texas is great country. A true
Texan named Buck was eating with his
knife. A Mr.. Thompson quietly laid a
forksby his plate as a hint. Buck took
it for an insult and shot Thompson.
Buck was tried, and, though the Judge
charged strongly against him, was
promptly acquitted.
One of the most fattering evidences
Of the continued prosperity Of the APP
PEAL Is the fact that one cfour con-
temporaries accounts for its success by
arriving at the conclusion that we are
backed by syndicate. May the syn
dicate-compOsed of the leading bust
ness men of the city and the, reading
public-live long and prosper.
1t is getting to he a serious question
whether Memphis. Tennessee, should
not be blOtted from the maps. Despite
past warnings, improved and unim-
proved, she stands to-day the unheal-
thiest city in the State, outrivaling in
her death rate the pest-ridden city OF

Memphians have died since January l.
Beerstecher and Gone, two of the
"people's railrc:.au commissioners" have
gone over to the q. P. Company bodily.
Yesterday General Stoneman, one of the
commissioners; fatty charged his col

Leland Stanford. One honest COM
missioner out of possible three is
pretty fair score for the people.
1t seems that none of the American
or English competitors for honor at the
Calderon Literary Centennial will Sc
cure a prize. The jurors appointed to
pass upon the poems sent in (among
whom is Minister LOVELY report that
though several Of the compositions are
meritOrious, they lack pertinancy to the
special subject proposed. For this rea-
son the jurors decline to award prizes.
Thew have a curious way OF doing
things in the Black Hills. When a
fellow is found who does not pay his
bills, they append his name to black
list aud publish it in the papers: David
son & Mills, of the Daisy Billiard Hal,
at Deadwood City, publish an article
headed as follows: "Still they come!
More souls made happy! Accounts on
the following named parties offered at
discountw Then string of names
appear. The document then concludes:
"This list will he kept standing for some
time yet, when it will be replaced with
new names. We shall continue to pub
lish the names of dead-beats without
fear or favor, regardless of profession,
position, occupation, age, race, color or
previous condition of servitude. Bust
ness men will do well to cut this out
and post up for future reference"

Among the mysteries of his life, and
they are many, none was greater than
that involving the total disappearance
of his pro, cry at the time of his death.
Mr. Maxfield, his administrator, who
knew much of his affairs, says that
while h did not have as much money
as was generally supposed, yet being
