THE EASTERN QUESTION IN LONDON.

This does not satisfy England. The past dcVerinin"-
ton of the Cabinct has been SO manifest 'na' Mr'
Gladstone is not expected to yield. Inc hnsnSn
view is that the Porte has received no mandate ine
agreement which was TO follow the acceptance OF
the identical note was not made. Consequently the
portes action is merely that of his individual SOW
erelgnty.
The very small contingent which tho Porto
concentrates is not composed of Arabs, but
Of Albanians and Turks. Immediately
was known that the Porto had drawn on
rcvnt for the expense of this contingent Sir AUX
land Colvin warned the Egyptian banks against
negotiating Turkish drafts-another English reoan
% the Sultan's astnteness. EDglishmen marvel ut
Tn,kish zeal to thwart England and provoke
struggle.
Mr. Gladstone declared for non-annexatlon
policy. The Times has recovered from its anneXa-
ton fever The country is unfavorable to annexa-
ton The man who gave up Corfu will not copy

the Conference is hardly reasonable The BRITISH
action is simply corollary to the arrival OF indan
troops This unostentatious energy OF England
since she commenced action is increasing her pres

the dispatch of troops to Egypt is in striking con-
trast to the strain of the French expedition to

The Government control of war correspondents is
sharply criticised but the diffusion of ignorant and
malignant gossip by some Of the London papers
greatly warrant the authorities. The Ietegdphs $
correspondent who sent the false story about the
retreat of the Goth Rifles is the same man who

Whisky Did It-.-A True Story.

Conductor Purcell's tie ssstrain was
moving out of Waco on the night OF
Sunday, September 10th. On board
the flat cars loaded with ties for this
train carried no caboose) were several
track-builders who had been in Waco
to spend their Saturday night and
their hard-earned wages, and who were
now returning with empty hand and
added brain to the front, some 30
miles southwest of Waco, to resume
their labor.
There were also ON the train several
gentlemen who lived along the line OF
the road and who preferred to nde oul
on the train rather than wait severa
hours for the passenger. Among the
inst mentioned were J. W. Hayes anC
his chum 0rTay Dooley. Both had
been drinking, both were broke, an'
both were returning to their WORK a
AcGregor. Jack was boss Of the lrol
gang, and 0nay was one Of hls men

MISSION VALLEY NURS ERIES
Twelve Miles from Victoria. Tex.

These Nurseries have claims upon the people OF
western and southern Texas that cannot be urged
by any other establishment.
To give to western and southern Texas list OF
fruits adapted to the climatic requiem is the
object to which the proprietor has devoted his life
He has b en- able to bring to his aid the advantages
of early horticultural training, and by the eypend
iture of over twenty thousand dollars in experiments
upon our own ground-by close observation and
study through the quarter of century during
which horticultural study, experiment and labor
has been his leading pursuit--he has been able to
become acquainted with the peculiar wants of our
very peculiar climate.
Taking advantage of the principle well established
by physical geographists, viz that all fruit trees
| are improved by being carried toward their polar
limit and that they are deteriorated by being
| ried toward their equatorial lmt-he has made his
experiments and established his nurseries farther
south than any other general nurseries in the Unite
States. He sells no cheap northern trash to his
customers. His trees and plants are therefore bet.
ter suited to Texas culture tnan those Of any other
establishment in the world. Zap ,. .g,s.

Our Metallic Currency.

According to the report of Director
Burchard of the U. S. Mint, there
was in circulation throughout the
United States, at the close of the
present fiscal year, $718,800,806 in
gold and silver coins. The total
amount of paper and metallic curren-
cy was $1,543,71O,332. Large as
the sums are, our currency cannot COM
psre in volume to that of Great Brit
tain Oh France. There is shown to
be $57 per capita of money in circul-
alton in France, while in this country
the sum per capita is $31. Our pop
ulation and monetary necessities are
increasing, while those of France are
stationary OF decreasing. We ought
to have more money, especially metal
lie, as we are the great bullion produ-
GERS of the world.

When six miles south of Waco
Hayes, who sat with his feet hanging
down between two cars, lost his bal,
ance, and the next instant was under
the wheels. The engine was reversed
instantly, the brake applied, and his
companions spiang from the yet NOV.
ing train to the side of their crushed
and mangled friend. Both legs were
ON the rail, and six ponderous wheels
had passed over them, crushing the
left leg, from the ankle to the knee,
into shapeless mass, and pressing
down just the width of the wheel on
the right leg as fiat as could be.
All he said as he was dragged from
under the car was; "My God! | am a
dead man." And as he was lifted
from the ground and placed on car,
one of his friends, his own breath
reeking with the fumes of liquor,
shook his head sadly and remarked:
whisky did it," ,n,...,,.t I
Yes, whisky did ,it-not only the
final act in the terrible drama, but it
took Jack Hayes from his home and
friends, a bright, promising, good,
hearted young fellow, and landed him
in an unhonored grave, Il 'N| SIS !
His father, j. w. Hayes, is O prom.
inent lawyer of Louisiana, and Jack
had the advantages of a good educa-
ton, and every opportunity to distin-
guish himself in the world, but the
demon drink was too strong for him,
and it had carried him down and
down until it dragged him under the
pitiless wheels of this tie train.
They carried him on to the next sta
ton and left him lying on the plat
form, while the train went on its way,
shrieking, it seemed, like fend, at
the havoc it had wrought. But kind
friends, rough and ignorant though
they were, bent over the dying man,
with hands eager to minister to his
comfort. Your correspondent knelt
beside him and asked: 4
"Shall I telegraph to your father?"
"No," came pleadingly from the
pallid lips, "Don't let him know it. "
Alas! even in death the brave heart
would conceal from the parent that
which he knew would cost him pain,
for "whisky did it.
He died at five o'clock, after a little
over two hours of terrible agony. The
coroner's jury said no one was to
blame.

Postal CuriosIties.

Here is a funny story told me by .
postoiilce clerk: The other day there
was presented at the ey.order de,
partment postal order, issued at Chat
tanooga, Tennessee, December A.
1865. Seventeen years seem lon,,
time to wait. The order, when pre-.
sented for payment, was in good con.
dition, having been put away among
some papers for safe keeping aud then
forgotten until accidentally stumbled
upon. When he discovered it, the own
er hastened TO the post office, for fear it
would be again mislaid and forgotten
for another seventeen years. But the
payee did not receive his money as
promptly as he imagined he would, for,
instead of getting z, he learned that
duplicate must first DO issued by the
postal authorities at Washington. AS
you may suppose, the incident made q
ripple in the department., and the or
der itself was quite curiosity among
the employees III the money-order di.
vision, us it was issued before some of
the youngsters therein were born. A
little later a woman astonished the
clerks by bringing in nine more mon
ey-orders, issued in the year 1877 and
1878. These, she said, were found
among her late husbands effects, and
she desired to have them cashed,
They were left at the superintendent's
desk to be forwarded to Washington
for renewal. Baltimore American.

the house and locked him out. He

that he had invented a flying machine,
and was about to test its merits. In
less than half hour about fifteen hun
bred persons had congregated on the
sidewalk and in the street, waiting to
see him flop, and Just as he had con-
cluded to kill two or three of the
crowd by jumping upon them, his
wife's red head popped through the
trap-door and exclaimed in stentonan
tones, Come night in here now, you

The Literary Society is still booming We al
ways have a crowded house, and great interest is
taken. The question discussed on last Friday even
ing was, Resoired That false issues are more sought
after by mankind for happiness than true ones. The
judges gave their decision in favor of the afrma-
tive. as one of the chief speakers the negative
spoke on the wrong side of the question. But the
way that substitute sang his comic song wasn't
slow. Substitutes cheap, and the singing is
cheap.
The Library Association is progressing nicely. The
finances still increasing, and it is talked that an
entertainment will be given soon, the benefits of
which will be given to this noble cause.
The teachers Of Doniphan County had very
pleasant meeting. last Saturday. We think they
had very good turnout, by the way the streets
were illumned by the pleasant countenanees of no
less than fifty ''schoolmarms." We noticed most all
of the live, working teachers of the County were
present, which is a very good proof that they
working faithfully and earnestly in their profession.
Heepey & Lyons have erected very fine bnd-
