The Race for Titlas in Tnni.

In an interesting paperon ''Tunis and
1ts Bey:" .prOfussly illustrated in the
Apr1l Century, Ernst Won Hesse-Wart-
egg, the German traveller, relates the fol-
lowing anecdote Of Tunisian court life ::
Most Europeans wEo reside for anv
!engtn OF time In the Orient become IN
!ected with the vanity Of decorations.
Titles, and other sDcial distinctions
Incy make absurd efforts to obtain bits
Of ribbon to fasten In their button.holes
and the privilege Of wearing y narrow
Sold border round the cap. C0nsuls in
Iunis wear such caps US insignias of
their office. IL was princimlly~ on the
solicitation Of Europeans that the Dev's
order, Nishan Iftikhar, was created
but what the European resident of Tu-
mis- chiefly sspires Ia Is u consulshiD. of
no matter how small and insignificant n
govern: nlent. The almanac de Gotha''
ana other year-bOOks are carefully stud
led, and foreign visitors are besieyed by
these office seekers. Even little Monaco,
OF gambling fame, is represented in Tu-
MS ~ u colsul-yencral, CONSUL, and u
vlee-conslil, and there are also three Or
Tour cfcrcs cOnsuks consular pupils), tlr.,-
:sOnlans, and janizaries attached to the
st;aff. Several years ago, Ole Of the Ital-
ian resident physicians, doctor LAM
Or:'s0, aspjreti greatly to become q con-
SUI, and ~ all the European states were
already more or less wortnily represent
Ell ut the court Of Moha,n,ned es Sadock.
Doctor LalnbrOsO conceived the idea Of
becoming consul of the mountain re-
public Of SAN Marine, the oldest state of
Europe, but at the same time the small
eat ~ it contains not more than seven
thousand inhabitants. The political and
commercial relations existing between
Tunis and SAN NLArino may he easily
Imagined. Probably few people in eth
er state knew of the existence Of the 9TH
or country. Nevertheless. Doctor LAM
hr0sO bought Of the small Italian repub..
lie the title of consul ut Tunis, and one
day, ac Ompamied Ivy glittering staff
Of vice-counsels, secretaries, and drag0-
mans, he called at the palace and pre-
scented to the Bey his credentials. The
Bey and his grand vizier received D0c-
tor LanlbrOsO in the same manner as
they would have received the Embass,a-
dor Of France. The hey inquired after
the health of the chief Of state, and ex-
pressed desire to have his portrait. As
san Marine has no such person, not
even y president, Doctor Lambroso was
sOllew hat embarrassed, but nevertlle-
less communicated the Bcy's request to
his Government. The desired portrait
SOON arrived. 1t was evidently taken
from an old church, and represented st.
MarinO, the patron saint Of the republic.
Doctor I4a,nbrosO received high deco
ration for himself aud one for the chiefOf
the republic. In exchange, san Marine
sent the Bey the Grand Cret,s Of st. Ma
rino, and this exchange Of civiiities end

A T0otheome Adventure

There is nothing in the world which
reaches a mans inner consciousness
quite SO perfectly as the tools If the
dentist, with y hartl-hearted operator BE-
hind them. lfa man is not sensitive to
an appeal Of that kind he may be sure
that when he was made the soul was left
out. No ones life is well-rountl.d and
perfect until he has sat in dentists
chair; he does know quite all that his
lH autiful life means, and has not drop
De,l his plunn,iet on the In,ttOnl OF hl.
man experience. The other day one Of
our mOlars or c,lspi'ls or ''cuspi.l"rs,'
We forget which, started on q volcanic
tantr,,n,. Our temper was r,fflcsi ut
the ir.t twinge, and ut the end Of five
minutes it was utterly Spoiled. During
the short interinls OF quiet We felt that
VIZ had not sufficiently appreciated what
little happiness the past had afforded ''s.
and when the l,.in was under ;uii head
WAY We lOngcd to I've shipwrccktl on n
,ses"la:e island, blown up On MiS>issip-
ri steamboat, or even struck ny light
ming provided there was II" to"t!!'cl,t
connected with it. We were cross to the
wife III our mr<oln, something which
never happens except when il can't lc
helped, We spoke our mind t. our moth
er-in-law 80 freely that We have been
compelled to apologize three times, and
then seeing that ii the thing continued
the bliss of domestic life would he all
broken up, we rushed for the dentist.
The moment We pulled the bell that
tooth, saw what We were after or else 1t
real the name on the door plate, and
Wis a, still and playful rs Eary's lamb.
Not twinge. 1t felt as though 1t had
never aciletl. When We were seated in
the great mans chair aud saw the pinch
crs, tongs, pliers. or whatever they are,
We felt that crisis in our JOURNALISTIC
life had arrived and wished that We had
lived more in accordance with the regu-
lations Of the Church, for 1t really did
seem as though that dentist had made
up his mind not only to extract the
tooth from our head, but also extract Us
from among the living. There was some
thing determined and dialOlical in his
eve. We opened our mouth, wishing at
the moment We had never been born,
and then, well, all we can remember Is
that We felt a. though We were corner
lot on the avenue, that ut least score OF
men with picks, crOwtars, shovels,
horses and carts were hard ut work
when all ut once the foreman touched
the fuse, there was an explosion which
shook the earth, an.l-the tooth was out.

A young man in Detroit who studied medi-
cine, and was regarded as an uncommonly
promising student, was graduated last spring
from the medical department Of the Michigan
university. During his student life he visited
the sick assiduously as an observer and assist
ant, was engaged in many surgical cases, and
everywhere demonstrated his remarkable
adaptability for the profession. On coming
home from college he one day walked into
his old perceptors Office and said: 81 have
travelled with you several years and seen more
woe than l ever dreamed existed in this world
Now, the simple fact is, | shall never do it
again. The thought Of spending the remainder
Il my life surrounded by the wretched miser-
les Of the sick-room, and being forever haunted
by the piteous sights an active physician must
encounter, is too horrible to be thought OF
with anything like indifference or equanimity.
I'll not do it, and there's an end Of the whole
matter" Remonstrance was useless. He
gave up the results Of years Of study, and is
now hard at work in a manufacturing eStab-
Tshment learning new business.

CALM DOWN.

Between now and Tuesday morning there
will be considerable excitement over the cleo
ton. 1t is not whether Wash Jones or Ire
land is to be governor, but who is to be JUS
tice of the peace or animal inspector, that our
community is greatly exercised about But
don't let your local likes cause you to get ex-
cited.
Calm down, take the situation coolly and
nationally. don't be afraid of the party whip,
its as harmless as a straw in the presence OF
the determined voter.
Calm down, one man is about as good as
another but be careful you take the best one
to honor with your confidence and comPh'
ment with your vote.
Calm down, our country is too big, toe
great, too patriotic for any set of men to pull
1t to pieces.
Calm down, or you will feel ashamed Of
vour excitement after the election is over.
CHM down, a cool head and an honest bal
LOT are the attributes OF a sound patriot.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.

When some of our good democratic friends
on the democratic ticket, come up missing on
the morning after the election, let them re-
member Just what we say to them now. You
have been sacrificed because Maj. Dryer and
his co-workers in the Hancock camp insisted
on endorsing John Hancock, and making
pack animals out of you to carry Hancock
through, instead Of letting Hancock drop
right where the Bexar delegation let him dr. p
at Austin. There need not have been but one
ticket for county officers in the field. The
election would have been harmonious, mex
pensive and free from bitter disappointments.
You put up your money for election expenses,
several thousand dollars, SO it is reported,
against the sentiment of this community
against the best interests of our city and Sec
ton, if you fall in the struggle you have no
one to blame but the Hancock committee
with Major Dwyer at its head.

Judge Felix Smith has won the reputation
of being an eminently just and honest man
in his official position as probate judge. Judge
Smith will do exact justice and cannot be in
fuenced to do wrong by any one. This is
the verdict of every lawyer and person tina,
has had dealings in his court.

Sunday should be devoted to prayerful re-
Election over our temporal as we'll as spiritual
condition. The welfare of the whole COM
munity embraces the.good of the individual.
The ballot-box holds the fate Of all. When
the citizen casts his ballot he should do SO
like king and not like subject or retainer
of some political ring-master. The independ-
ent ticket affords an escape from political
peonage.

EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

In trying to force Hancock down the threats
of our people Major Dryer has broken up the
happy family.
THE sovereignty of the nation is lodged IN
the voter. Vote like a king even if you live
like pauper.
LET every wa, m-hearted Irishman be GER
tain he votes against John Hancock, the Brit
ish free-trader.
GUADALUPE county craftsmanship has at
tempted to swamp Bexar county. Let us
teach John Ireland lesson he won't forget.
LET every exile from Erin remember that
his country was desolated by British free-trade,
and give Hancock punch with his voting
shillalah.
THE Hancock democracy are on record IN
favor of wanting prohibitory tariff on Chi
nese cheap labor but when it comes to ar
old wool hat; they want it let in free OF charge
Oh, Hancock, where does your blush come
in!
Wool hats, such as our people generally
wear, are taxed in tariff 10 cents on the pound
and a. per cent ad valorem, and not one wa.
imported in 1880: hence the government gets
no revenue from wool hats, but our people pay
the tax as bounty to the manufacturers.
Who will attempt to justify such monsterous
injustice Austin Statesman.
This hat business seems to harrow up the
very souls of Hancock and the editor of the
Statesman. AS matter of relief, we suggest
that they wear straw hats or stick to their old
CAPS. Don't wear any Of these outrageous,
oppressive, monstrous wool hats! Buy stove
pipe!
THR Statesman declares with tears in ii:
eyes that the tariff has closed out the wool ha
importation. All right, we don't feel bad, We
have to pay more for our hat but we get
good home made article, and the money stay:
at home.

Destructive Fire at the II P. Junction

After going to press last Friday, we
learned that the good people out at the
Junction had that day been visited by quite
a destructive fire. 1t will be seen that Mr..
Stephen Dunphy, of this city, was one of
the sufferers by the fire. A correspondent
of the Duluth Tribune gives this account
of the confagration
"About Is this morning flames were
discovered issuing from the roof of a root
house situated in the rear of DR.. Watkins
residence, the flames quickly commuuicat
ing to the doctors house, and in a short
time it was a mass of flame. The citizens
were aroused. but were powerless to render
any assistance except to remove the furni-
ture from the house. DR.. Watkins house
is situated at one end of row of wooden
buildings. Next to him is large board
ing house owned and occupied by Thos.
Nelson and wife. Their house was in
flames in few moments. The furniture
was removed before the house was in flames
and the piano was removed in safety. The
