to vote-Wlth the republican party.
THE fact that 1000 copies of the settings
are sold in Boston accounts for Alec's puff OF
the hub A fellow feeling makes US wond-
rous kind, you know.
WHEN the Germans were crowded into the
10th district, it was thought good joke on
Epson; it may prove a serious one to those
who planned it. The 10th district will rise IN
its dignity and shake off bourbonism.
TWAS evidently piece Of revenge that
dictated the conformation Of the 10th con-
gressional district, but will be boomerang to
those who were the promoters. Epson was
sacrificed, and his friends must look to some
other man to represent them.
THE Austin Statesman suggests Jno. Han
cock for representative to the Legislature from
that district. This looks like coming down
peg or two, but in fact, John is down, and II
he climbs he must begin among the bottom
rounds;-better start at alderman, however.
MANY democrats have expressed themselves
that they would vote for Gov. Davis for con-
press if he should be a candidate, and If he
can be induced to run his support throughout
the district from independent democrats will
be more than sufficient to turn the scale in his
favor.
THE Express can't see any difference be-
tween Upson's vote on the tariff bill and the
balance of the delegation. Well, the two par
ties divided on it. Epson may not be sincere
in his vote as the Express intimateS, but he
is entitled to the credit of voting against his
party, all the same.
THE name of Governor Davis is spoken of
in all quarters as suitable candidate for con-
gress. The governor has not been consulted,
and this expression is simply spontaneous
suggestion. The 10th district with Gov. Davis
as its representative would certainly become
the leading district Of the state, and WELD
powerful influence in congress and with the
administration.
THE New Orleans Mascot reappeared on
the streets with only broken interval on the
18th. Its cartoon presents Mr.. c. A. Whit
ney who represents the SEC, 600, 600 of the late
Mr.. Morgan, standing, supporting the Liberty
of the Press. The likeness is capital, while
Judge Muroe in the character of harlequin is
skipping across his knees and falls by mad
vertance upon the withers Of his honor the
Mare. On the right of the page we have the
enterprising tobacconist displaying also the
Liberty of the Press decorated with a 10 cent
fare ticket of the Carrolton Railroad. The
articles are sharply written and we think the
paper has lost no ground.
A PLENTIFUL rain is bringing new life into
the flowers and shrubs, and vestibule and
porch are dainty and luxurant with fragrance
and beauty. How much delight the wisest of
US may gather from the howery kingdom!
How unmatched the scent of honey-suckle or
iassamine in all the worlds treasures of
meaner wealth.
What blessing it is that all the universal
gifts bestowed on man are without stint and
TEEN with plenty, and among them natures
profusion of flowers. Forests and valleys

and prairie bear ceaseless hymn of adora-
ton in the daisy's sweetness, and gentleness
and praise abide in the sweet violet's breath
Every chosen flower is a choral poem in our
homes.
THE Legislature of Missouri is staggering
under gigantic effort to close the whisky
saloons of the beleagured city of St. Louis be
tween the hours of midnight and a. m. Re-
siding at so great distance from the gam
blers' metropolis, and under moral and social
conditions so much more distant still, we find
it difficult to realize probably the vastness and
general immensely Of this undertaking With
no recognized official in readiness to succor
St. Louis in her troubles excepting only Cir
cult Attorney Harris We can partially realize
her unhappy situation, but we trust that if the
Legislature should be able to carry through
its gigantic scheme Mr. Harris will be success.
full under the great prestige he has acquired,
should the duty devolve on him, in putting
out the obnoxious lights. But ST. Louis is a
hard city to handle all the same.
