Must Tell 1t His Own Way.
How Uncle Nose AstOnished a Court and
Jury.


A colored man named Bob Tompkins was
on trial last week before an Austin Justice for
assault. Old Uncle Nose was one of the
leading witnesses for the State. The main
point was whether Tompiins had given any
proyocatlon to bring on the row.
Now tell this jury all you know about the
affair" said the justice
"Kin tell the jury all I knows in my own
wayF asked old Nose
"Ies, tell the jury what you know in your
own way"
Old Nose turned solemnly to the expeclant
jurymcn
"Gemmens oh de jury, you am de meanes.

Stop! hawled the attorney for the State.
"Iour Honor will incarcerate the witness
for contempt of court " howlcd the attorney
for the prisoner
The foreman of the jury got up and asked
the court TO protect the jury from insult

shall certainly resort to extreme measures"

The prosecuting attorney jumped up ard

his heavy hand on the collar of old Nose,
when the Inter calmly repeated to the jury
"1ou am de meanest lookn' crowd cher

words de prisoner dar used when he fust
come inter de barroom, and which led to de
row."
The foreman sat down quick. The attor-

spectators roared while old Nose, with
surprised look of childish innocence, once
more said emphatically to the cowed Jury.

1t may seem strange to you, but even de.
spite her words | could not believe this
strangely beautiful woman was in earnest
There was to my mind great wrong some
where; the sacrificing herself to save some
one else. Still had no alternative but to
take her into custody. Iplaced her, however,
in charge of an officer, and still left her in
her own house. While | was gone to the
city, but few hours she contrlvcd to send n
note away. 1t reached the person it was
meant for-an hour afterwards the lady was
dead. She had persisted by her own hand
from shame and n broken heart.
Years afterwards we ascertained that the
real culprit was her son. She had con-
fessed Il sin that she never committed, to give
him an opportunity to escape.

POEM BY AMELIA WELRY.

POEM BY AMELIA wELBY.
] wandered out one summer night.
Twas when my years were few;
The wind was singing in the light,
And was singnR-tOo:
The sunshine lay upon the hill,
The shadow in tho vale,
Ana here and there laughing rill
Was laughing on the gale.
One fleecy cloud upon the air
Was all that met my eyes
1t tioated like an angel there
Between me and the skies;
clapped my hands and warhled wild.
As here and there flew.
For was but a careless child.
And did as children do.
The waves camo dancing DER the sen
In bright and glittering Lands,
Like little children wild with glee,
They linked their dimped hands;
They linked their hands, but ere | caught
Their sprinkled drops of dew.
They kissed my feet. and, quick as thought.
Away the ripples flew.
The twilight hours like birds, flew by
AS lightly and as free:
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten thousand on the sea:
For every wave with dimpled face
That leaped upon the afr
Had caught a star In its embrace,
And held 1t trembling there.
Her mirrored beauty gave,
And as a bark at anchor rides.
She rode upon the wave:
The sea was like the heaven above,
As perfect and as whole,
save that it seemed to thrill with love.
AS thrills the immortal soul.
The leaves by spirits voices stirred,
Made murmurs on the air.
Low murmurs, that my spirit heard.
And answered with prayer:
For twas upon that dewy sod,
Beside the moaning seas,
| learned at first to worship God.
And sing such strains AS these.
The flowers. all folded to their dreams.
Were bowed in slumber free
BY breezy hills and murmuring streams,
Where'er they CHANGED to be;
No guilty tears had they to weep,
No sins to be forgiven;
They closed their leaves and went to sleep
Meath the blue eye of Heaven
No costly robes upon them shonc,
No jewels from the seas,
Yet Solomon upon his throne
Was ne'er arrayed like these:
And just as free from guilt and act
Were lovely human flowers.
Ere sorrow set her bleeding heart
On this fair world of ours.
heard the laughing wind behind
APPLYING with my hair;
The breezy fingers of the wind.
How cool and moist they were.
heard the night-bird warbng DER
Its soft. enchanting strain
never heard such sounds before
And never shall again.
Then wherefore weave such strains as these
And sing them day by day
When every bird upon the breeze
Can sing sweeter Jay?
I'd givesthe world for their sweet art,
The simple, the divine
I'd give the world to melt one heart
AS they have melted mine.

Everybody Able to Pay,

A man who says he is not able to pay for
a newspaper ought to go at once to the
county court and have his wife appointed
his guardian Remember that newspaper
is worth more to family than three
months school. A family who take paper
live, as it were, in house set upon hill,
from whose windows they can see all that is
going on in the world. Friend, don't say
you are not able to pay for your paper. Say
you don't like the paper, or say you would
rather live in ignorance, or declare that you
do not want your children to learn anything,
but don't say you can't pay-because to say
you can't pay, is to say you lack in true man
hood and ought to be in the poorhouse.

The latest notion in the way of "improve-

ing up the beds The idea is to heat them up
by steam, which can be turned on or off at

of u sort of layer Of small steam pipes, con-
nected with one main pipe Attached to
this and so close 10 the bed that it can be
reached without trouble by the person in the

turning the wheel one way, the person may
get steamed up to any point he pleases, and
by turning it the other way he may shut of

Allthe Rage

A very large audience assembled last night
in Turner hall to witness the performance OF
German version Of play, winch has been very
successful in the northern cities, and which
was to have been produced some time since,
but was postponed owing to the skipping OF
Protar, one of the principal actors. This play
''Al the Rage" as far as we could under
stand. is very good one, and it certainly eN-
cited the enthusiasm Of the audience. 1t has
the advantage, too. OF being we'll acted in
nearly every character by residents in San
Antonio, and in such a way that it proves that
we have local talent among us of excellent
merit. The only pity is that it is not more
often called into requsition, and that our
English speaking residents will not exhibit
their talents in the same direction.
Where all is SO good it is invidious to criti-
else any special character, yet we cannot help
noticing some of the prominent artistic. Mad
anne A. Rosetti was first favorite and deserv-
eddy so. She sang and acted with that ability,
vivacity and 'chic" that was in itself sufficient
to make the play so well. Miss Schuz was
admirable in her quiet but effective acting, and
above all she'was perfectly natural. Mr..
Richard F. Schmidt was an excellent facto-
tum, and the amusing incidents in which he
took part were we'll pointed. His cigar song
also was great success. Mr.. Nagel, as the
spurious lion, was irresistably droll, and gave
general satisfaction by his admirable repre-
sentation of his character. Mr.. Charles Ger
hardt's character was ably and effectively rem
dered, and he sang with considerable effect.
Mr.. Schiebel, as Rosenthal, the banker, gave
an excellont piece of character performance.
The play passed off without hitch and the
audience were we'll pleased with it. The only
fault that can be found with it is its inOrdinate
length, the play not concluding till very late
hour.
We must not omit to note that the musical
numbers of the German edition were intro
duced and that our friends, Lager and
Rechel, performed some excellent act over
lures during the evening.

Medicated Glasses-A Reply,

Mr.. l.. ROuvant San AutoEio, ieAas'
DEAR SIR-Yours of the 24th with enclosed
slip from the EVENING LIGHT is to hand. II
YOU take second look at it, you will discover
that other dealers who have not got the med
icated glasses would naturally cry them down.
Why? Because they get for spectacle that
costs them one dollar dozen, one dollar per
pair, or else they get for G lass that cost them
2, cents a pair, the sum of So. 50 per pair.
Therefore you will at once see that it is to their
interest to cry down the medicated glasses.
First, because they have not got them to sell,
as you are our only agent for San Antonio;
second, they make more money selling the Or
binary glasses; third, the indicated glasses
are driving the ordinary glasses out of the
market. Now, sir, | propose to
protect you in the sale of the medicated
glasses SO that you can warrant every pair that
you sell to give positive benefit to the eye. l
don't care who it is, any one using the glasses
will at once admit their superiority, and &C
knowledge their improvement. The eye is
no small affair, and people at this age are not
blind as to what is a positive improvement.
have had the same trouble to contend with
here, until the medicated glasses came into
general use, and now what is the. result !
Every one that uses them Recommend them
to their friends, and l am selling them all
through the United States, thousands upon
thousands of pair, and have yet to hear of a
complaint. l Will present to the citizens OF
your state testimonials and certificates of the
highest and most hattering character from
men of prominence and position, and were
| to advertise, to-day, for testimonials, from
your state alone, for the medicated glasses,
I am certain I would fill one side of the San
Antonio Express. don't claim any medi'
cine in the glass, but l do claim that from
chemicals applied to glass in soluble state
have discovered the making of a glass that il
a perfect transparent lens, that bends the rays
| of light, so that they become soft, nice anc
cool, keeping the eye in normal condition
thus doing away with any distressing sensa
ton. What do care for the opinion of ply
sicians, whose only idea of the manufacture o
glass is theoretical. For any practical glas
maker will inform you that it is an impossible
ty to make glass without the use Of chem
cals. Wishing you every success, l an
yours very truly HERO. HoUsAH.
