AN APPALLING THoUGHT.-During the
second year of the war a grocer in al Ohio
town scaled his prices by reports from the
front. One day defeat would cut the price
of butter four cents, the next day would raise
the price Of eggs penny dozen, and victory
or defeat was certain to hit even the jar of
nutmegs on the top shelf One day farmer
who had some butter to sell entered the shop
and asked the going price.
''I'm paying sixteen to-day" was the an
Swer.
''But only two days ago you paid twenty
eyes, but you see Pope has been defeated
since that, and there is back actiOn.'
The farmer sold out and wanted most of it
in sugar, and the grocer remarked as he made
ready to weigh it,
Sugar has advanced a cent a pound since
Monday.''
''Mercy on me, but why is that?"
Because the rebels got licked in Tennes-
see.'
The old man sat down Oh a nail-keg and
thought it all over, and presently looked up
and said.
my friend, if u Federal defeat cheapens
what you buy, and a rebel victory enhances
the value of what you sell, what a blank of a
fix you'd be in if there should happen to be a
drawn battle!''
UNEXPECTED CRITICIsM.-One of the most
eloquent and popular clergymen of Austin,
Texas, being about to ascend the steps lead
ing 10 his church few Sundays ago, was ask
ed by partially blind old woman, who did
not recognize him to help her up the steps.
With his usual urbanity he complied with
her request. Just as she reached the top steps
she asked him who was going to preach.
''Parson Smith, he replied, that being his
own name.
so Lord!' exclaimed the old lady. ''llelp
me down again. I'd rather listen to a man
saving wood. Please help me down again. |
don't care to 60 in.''
At first the clergyman was inclined to refuse,
but on reflection, he gently assisted her down
again, remarking as they reached the bottom:

Uncle Sam opened his ledger for 1882
with debt of !, 900. 600, 900 less than the
maximum reached by the debt in 1865. In
connection with this gratifying showing
the statement is made that the national
debt is now less than one half that of the
United Kingdom. it is little more than a
third of that of France, and among other
European nations it is exceeded by the pub
lie debts of Russia. Spain and Italy. The
debt of Austria and hungary is about the
same rs ours. Judged 10y any test of the

of the public debt of the United States is by
far the lishtest of those of any of the great
nations Of the world-China alone excepted.

only got ruling from the speaker favoring
the immediate consideration of his select

he had tie satisfaction of seeing itgo through

of the Republican party perhaps indicates a
purpose to make the woman question pro-

The Next Press Convention.

|
Brother David Nation, of the Rich
mond Nation, asks president Gosline
the subjoined pertinent questions:
ave want to ask Hal l.. Gosling,
president of the Texas press associa'
ton a few plain questions.
LIST, Are editors wives to be invited
TO the meeting Of the association!
End, And if not, then why notl Bird,
As we are TO have a ball at the fine
palatial residence of Col. johnson,
who is to furnish the ladiesi 18th, If
Col. johnson, is it because the Texas
editor cares more fora Houston mans
wife or daughter or his own wifef 9th.
And if ladies are ~ be present, why
not invite the editor to bring the one
of his choice, instead ofsupplying him
without his knowledge or consent?
9th, Or is it to be a kind ofstag affair,
where the editor is expected to ''cut
up" so he would be ashamed of his
own wife seeing him? 7th, And if the
meetings of the Texas Press Associa-
ton are not fit places for the editors
wife, then pray tell us what kind OF
ladies will be furnished the editor ut
the ball for the dance? 9Th, Will q
Houston lady go to press conven-
ton, where it would not be fit for an
editors wife to go?'
We say these questions are peril
nent ones, for they concern every
member of the association.
We presume the association would
welcome the editors wives on any oc-
casion where it would be proper for
spectators to attend it's meetings.
But will the members of this asso-
citation continue to make fun and
trolic, the principal object of their an
nual meetings at Houston?
Just So long as nothing more USE
full or worthy of the press is thought
of, SO long wiz the association be
worthless institution.
One more annual meeting will de-
eide it's fate.
The solid men of the press of Tex
as are utterly disguised with the ten
dency of things as at present they
exist.
Wherever any considerable number
of editors and publishers are assem-
bled, there the people seem to look
for frolicking and bacchanalian revels.
This state of affairs has existed so
long that the name editor seems to
call up thoughts of revelry and TN
steadlness of gait.
For heavens sake, let us have dol g
with balls, suppers and frolics, gen
orally, and go to work in behalf of
tn suffering craft, if it is ever to be
done, and il not then let us disDand,
go home and stay there.

The Savannah ga News thinks that the
removal of the tax on whisky would be an
act of fragrant injustice, for not only is it
patent that the revenue should be derived
from such articles as spirits and tobacco,
which are for the most part luxuries, than
from articles of prime necessity, but the
price of whisky would not, in the slightest
degree, be lessened thereby, since experience
has shown that drinkers of whisky will al
ways purchase it at distillers' and dealers
figures and that distilers and dealers will
always demand for it the highest prices
which they can receive.

charged a pistol and broke mans arm.

man recovered, John went to him and
said
MY friend, the breakin' of your arm

to ask your pardon

VIEWING HIS TREASURES.

New York Correspondence OF Phlla Record
went with a friend to the vaults of
the Safety Deposit Co., on Thursday to
help snip off some coupons. You know
what these vaults are. Places where
bloated bondholders keep their stocks and
bonds and other valuables in their safes
with combination locks, that moth nor
rust cannot corrupt, nor thieves break
through and steal. While we were sit
ting there looked up and saw the stran-
est and most forbiding looking person
coming down the aisle. He wore a high
pointed fur cap and coat but.oned up
to his chin. A short thick beard and
moustache almost hid his face from view.
As he came nearer to me | recognized
Captain Costcntcnus, the tatooed man.
We could not help staring him, it SEEM
ed so queer for one of Barnum's curiosi-
ties to be looking after his stocks and
bonds. He did not seem to object, and
so my friend made some pleasant remark
to him in Italian. He was quite ready
to talk though he does not speak very
fluently either French, Italian or English,
but he speaks the two former better than
the latter. His entire conversation was
about money, showing he had keen eye
for the almighty dollar. He has been
in the country six years, and receives
when on exhibition, 800 week and his
expenses. Then he sells his photographs
and life of himself from which he makes
good percentage. In six years he has
managed to save good deal more than
his salary, and he has invested his money
judiciously. The only investment that
he has that does not pay is diamonds.
He is passionately fond Of this precious
stone, and has some fine specimens In
his safe. He seems to have a savage's
fondness for ornament for he was loaded
down with jewelry. Around his neck he
wore long massive gold chain, fastened
at the throat with a jewelled slide. There
was evidently watch on the end Of the
chain in his pocket. Then he wore an
other heavy gold chain across his blue
flannel shirt, on which several twenty
dollar gold pieces were hung. On his
wrists were gold bracelets of curious
workmanship, and he wore twelve gold
rings on his hands, two on each third
and little finger, and two on each thumb.
His hands are very we'll shaped, and the
dark tatooing set off the bright gold of
the rings. A silken scarf Of many colors
was tied around his waist. Altogether,
he looked like pirate.

been repeated fifteen or twenty times,
and yet when you consider the new peo.

our train, and occupying one section of
the Ogallalla, was the Oriental gentle
man with the self.cocking name, who
had been sent to Washington by the
Chinese Government on special business
connected with the affairs of State. He
wore long brocade, ld-gold gown, with
embroidered purple overskirt, cut plain,
and tied together with silk cord and
unique buttons. He wore his hair plain
and braided down the back, and his silk
boots with cork soles looked like a plug
hat in gale of wind.
Everybody of course eyed him with
curiosity, and sighed to have some fun
with him. One old lady, with red
dish whiskers under her jaw, sidled up
to him at last and began to ladle out to

games of whist. After opening up with
girlish earnestness, and shouting at the

the beauties of the Rocky Mountain

Everybody waited with good deal of
anxiety to see how the Chinaman would

of his face till she got through, and he
seemed to be in doubt whether she had
made herself clear. She ran her tongue
out one or three times and began to
moisten her lips, 50 as be ready to begin
again and 60 over the same trail, but the
member of the Chinese Embassy notion

Then he took cigarette and a fan,
and went into the smoking-room. There
was a little hush for moment, then the
whist games were resumed, and the wo-
man with the chin whiskers opened her
valise and took out pint bottle that had
some kind of cordial in it, and, taking a
large dose even for an adult, she ate a
few kernals of burnt coffee and subsided.
