AMERICANS AS ExTRAvAGANT MoURNERs -
Strangers in this country are usually amazed
at the extent to which we carry the mourn
ing business, so far at least as outward csre-
monials go. The trappings of woe, espec-
tally those worn by women, are expressive of
the most unmitigated grief, and are worn for
thrice the time usual in other countries
while among men, although there is less ex-
hibition of woe in the matter of dress, it is
much more than compensated in elegies, ora
tions, flags half-mast, &c. In fact the coun-
try has become a sort of paradise to the un-
dertaking mind. A notable peculiarly
among us is the ado made in clubs on the
death of a member Promptly a flag is run
up half mast high, and in the case of some
of these associations resolutions are drafted
and member is selected to make one of
those glowing eulogies which, when read by
a child on the tombstones of Pere La Chaise,
suggested the question; "Where is it, NAM
ma, that all the wicked people are buried?"
Happily, the sombre theme is not usually
wont to throw a lengthened gloom over the
company, not even over the principal speak
er. With tears in voice and eyes, a we'll
known divine, apparently almost choking
with grief, dilated in an epitaphic address on
the virtues of departed brother member.
A stranger much moved, hearing in the
supper room presently a particularly loud
guffaw, turned suddenly round and found
that it proceeded from the lately weeping
brother, who now, with mouthful of chicken
salad and a generous glass of punch in his
hand, seemed the jolliest of jolly dogs. The
question is whether we do not overdo this
sort of business and thus neutralize much Of
what is good in it.-N. Y. Times.

There are some points in the Comstock
mines where the workmen encounter tenn
perature of 115 to 12O degrees, and their
thirst becomes excessive. No ice water is too
cold to be swallowed with a relish. Indeed
it often does not satisfy, and the miners chew
and swallow humps of ice. Yet it does not
hurt them. They often swallow such guam
titles of ice water that their stomaehs will not
retain it, The temperature of the station
where they go TO cool of is about 100 degrees.
This temperature--whiohw would almost roast
a surface man-appears cool to man who
has come from place where the tnermome-
ter marks 40 to 1l5 degrees Where the
temperature is 80 the man will feel so cold as

THE NEW QUARTERS,
Of Leasing, Solomon & Co., and
Rosenthal, Meyer ~ Co.

Passing up North Fourth street in
this city the eye is instantly attracted
by the massive and ornate proportions
Of brick building, almost block i'll
itself, that looms up amid Its sur
roundings like a giant among men.
In its rear are to be seen brick ware
houses almost as extensive as the main
building, the whole plainly indicating
that here is to be the domicile of
vast business. These stores and
ware rooms, now rapidly nearing
completion, are to be the future head
quarters of two firms widely known
throughout the state-Lessing, Solo.
mon e Co., wholesale dry goods and
notions, and Rosenthal, Meyer IL Co,
wholesale boots, shoes and clothing
The two firms are as yet occupying
their well-knOwn three story iron
front, on Austin avenue, which is
filled from bottom to top with goods,
and where they conduct a business
more extensive than ever before, but
within few weeks they will be in
stalled in their new quarters, where
will then be seen one of the most adj
mirably equipped business establish
ments in the state. The buildings
were planned and constructed with
special reference to the business of
the firms. Space was the first cOnsid-

forthe storage, display aud care of
goods was the next. This is amply
assured by the construction and III
terror arrangements. The ware room
facilities, for receiving, packing aud
shipping goods have never been
equaled, much less surpassed, in tins
city, and we question if there is an
establishment in the state better
adapted to the requirements of bust
ness than the one of which we are
writing. The buildings are of the
most solid and durable character and
the arrangement iaultless. il is i'll

ings with stocks far beyond what has
ever been attempted before. In addi-

did not know. Neither of them re-
membered any thing about 1t So
both of them were condemned to be
shot.
They were both excellent soldiers,
and only one of them had been guilty
OF using a weapon.
The officers of the division, inclu-
ding him who had been assaulted,
asked that the men might be par
doned. AT length Winterfield said he
would pardon one of them. Only
one had held knife, and only that
one ought to die. He would pardon
one, and the men must themselves de-
eide which of them should be shot.
How should the decision be made !?
"Let us shake the dice" said one of
the condemned.
And the other agreed to it. And
anon it was agreed to by all inter-
ested. The two men took their places
by the side of big drum and were to
throw the dice upon its head. Two
dice were given them and proper
box for shaking.
The first man threw two skies. He
grosned in agony. He felt that he had
consigned his comrade to death.
But when the second came to throw
he also threw two skies. Wonder
full ~ cried the lookers-on. They were
ordered to shake and throw again.
This time the second man threw
f1rst-two aces. "HO! Good You
will live, Peter" But when Peter
came TO throw, the dice presented
those same two aces. And now the
beholders were wonder-stricken, in
deed.
Another throw was ordered, and
Peter threw a FIVE and a duce. The
other threw fve-duce, After the
excitement had again subsidized the
men shook once more. The first
threw two tours. ooh now throw
tives and save yourself, Peter" Potter
threw-two tours.
At this point the colonel ordered
them to stop. He went and reported
the marvellous result to Wintertield
Said he: CLEARLY, general, Pr0vI-
dence will haye those two men to be
saved"
And saved they were. The general
cared not to oppose the wonderful
fate of the dice. 1t did seem provi-
Dental. and so he accepted it.
Aud the redeemed soldiers lifed to
prove that the saving fate had given
back to Prussia two. of the very best
and bravest of her sons.

We expect Mt least TWO thousand
visitors from other cities and towns
ON Noiksfest day. The committee OF
arrangements will see that these visi-
tors are comfortably lodged, either i'll
the hotels or private boarding houses.
The next consideration i'll the mind
of the visitor, when he has satisfied
the inner man. will be to find where
he can get a good cigar or Il pure
article of chewing tobacco. We pro-
pose TO post visitors III advance, so
that no one need suffer for lack of
knowledge. Headquarters in Waco
for cigars, tobacco and smokers
goods generally, are at Hers, on
Austin avenue. Long experience has
convinced the WacOite that Herr will
do to tie to, to smoke or to chew by
literally, to buy chewing and smok-
ing goods from Herr. His special
brands of cigars and chewing tobacco
are known throughout central Texas.
But il is not alone in retailing his
goods to home people and transients
that Herr takes the blue ribbon. Hg
is fixed for q lively jobbing business

ing with Judgment and buying direct
from tie manufacturers, he cal
always offer the trade Inducements
