Big-Hearted David Davis,

David Davis was not the meanest
man in Washington while he lived here.
He did not live at third-rate hotel,
nor did he haggle with the pie-women
of the capitol. These statements, like
many more of the same sort, originated
with some of that very numerous class
of men who know oil about Washington
without having been there. They are
not trammeled by facts. David Davis
is a very careful man. His prudence
has given him his fortune. He did not
live at the most fashionable hotel In
Washington, although he had pleasant
rooms at one of the best, and no did
eat apple-pie for lunch sometimes at
stand in one of the Senate corridors.
But his big body carries big heart ~
well as big brain, and I know OF doz-
ems of cases where, after proper invest
igation, he put his big hand into his big
pocket-book and drew out 'big money"
as they say in Kentucky, for the good
of his unfortunate neighbors. So care
full was Judge Davis that no word Of
any of these helpful acts should creep
into the newspapers that only one case
was ever publicly alluded to. It was
that Of ragged little newsboy whom
the Judge picked up on the steps Of the
capitol, hungry and cold, one bluster,
ing winter day. Judge Davis bought
his wet and dirty newspapers, filled his
empty stomach, clothedh his naked form,
put something in his pocket for the
next day, and stopped his thanks with
his big hand. Judge Davis is as hard
as fint-rock in the presence of fraud
and humbug, and soft as wool to the
unfortunate and distressed. Wdshing-

Singular Spring.

A singular spring is located within .
few miles of Laramie, the discovery OF
which does not date back very far, and
description of which has never ap.
peared in print. The so-called soda
lakes are well known to every one
who lives at or near Laramie. In one
of these, and about five or six feet from
the shore, stands large, round bunch
of grass, several feet across. Sur
rounding this little oasis is tho water
of the lake-so strongly impregnated
with alkali, or sulphate Of soda, that 1t
cannot be held in the mouth more than
q few seconds-an inside the oasis IL
pool, or spring, Of pure, cleae, cold
water! Poles twenty feet long have
been thrust into this pool without ind
ing the bottom. Though the whole
country thereabouts Is literally filed
with alkali, this little spring furnishes
the purest water, and those who pass
the lake often on their way 70 and from
the city have placed . wide board from
the bank to the ''oasis, > and to we'll
worn path tells how often they have
visited it in order to quench their thirst.

Another Audience Desired for the Man
Who Lectures to His Wife.

1t is, of course, made by law part of
4 wife's duty as such to listen patient
ly, and if possible intelligently, to the
evening complaints of her husband,
whether directed against herself or the
neighbors, or society at large. It is
probably also her duty, if her husband
happens to be an economist or a
''closet thinker to listen without in
terruption or cross-examination to any
scheme for the improvement or re-or-
ganization of the world that he may
like to descant upon when the day is
over and the family assembled for the
evening meal. 1t is duty in. the per-
Torrance of which wives play noble
and self-sacrificing part in life, and we
have no doubt that one reason why the
social revolution has been SO long post
poned is that SO many of those who
would otherwise have joined in it have,
by venting their wrath against society
upon their wives, or at least by pouring
their wrongs into their wives ears,
been SO Gained and quieted, that they
have lost over and over again all desire
for s.new deal.' No one who has
thought much about marriage can have
failed to notice that this is one of its
most beneficial social effects. But then
marriage only supplies domestic aud
fence, and restricted one at that. An
audience consisting of wife may be
sympathetic, but sympathy cannot make
up for lack Of publicity-the crying
need of anybody with a grievance. Be-
sides this, bachelors-a growing, if not
an influential class-have not even this
domestic resource, while cases are not
infrequent where wives fail to do their
duty, and while keeping themselves
within the law, make it very unpleas-
ant for husbands who undertake to en-
terrain them with a tea-table account of
their wrongs. or of the means which
they would take to put down ''monop-
oily" Bad wives have even been known
to feign fatigue and yawn on such occa-
sions, and in the slang of the day sug-
gested that they are entitled to 50 rest,
instead Of listening with respectful
sympathy, as they ought.-M y Even-
i7aq Post.

Home the Best Place for Inyalids.

The New York Sun copies from the
Continent the opinions of physician
about the curative powers of nature.
The physician concludes that it is bet
ter for consumptive to stay at home,
where he can be comfortable, than sub
ject himself to the discomforts of hotel
life, or to the greater Inconvenience
of a camp. He says that the camp
cure may be fairly tried by sleeping on
ones own house top. Another medical
man replies that the summer conditions
of spruce forests are eminently favora-
BILE, and consumptives have recovered
in the most surprising way living
under canvas in them, where the air is
impregnated with the healing emana-
tions peculiar to the non-deciduous
tree growths. There are consumptives
whose lungs crave the salt air Of the
ocean; others to whom the dry atmos-
phere of Colorado is infinitely soothing;
and others again who are benefited by
the climate of Florida or Southern Cali
fornia. ITO prescribe Florida for one
person might mean death, while if he
went among the northern paradise of
spruce, recovery might follow

An Upland Farmers Song.

And the maplc-tips are turning, my beloved,
And the ivies flush to crimson, that adown
the hillside run.
There's |, wine blush in the elders, my below
And the sumacs leaves CLEAN bright be-
meath their spikes of sober red;
And the sunfOwers raise their faces, like dark
Orbs trimmed round with glory.
Beating up into the azure from their green,
luxurious bed.
The grapes burn crimson.purple. my beloved,
From their trcilised foliage-fastness of
broad slOwly-browning leaves,
And the late peach gathers luster in it's nest
Like a Ruth's face lifted sunward from a
wreath Of golden sbeaves.
The meadG %s gras; is browning, my beloved,
And the cattle browse to windward, as in
protest of their fate,
Or come trailing round the orchard, half-ex-
pectant of its treasure,
Or low softly for admission at the Ufd red
barn-yard gate.
The night winds family whisper, my beloved,
my beloved,
OF the ice-fioe and the snow.swath that In
fest the Northern sea,
And the thin reeds in the river, my beloved,
my beloved,
Beck and SILVER at the message-and my
heart beats round to thee.
There's something moves my soul to Ruth,
my beloved one, my beloved,
In this sight of autumn's banners strewn on

TO earth's truest, fOndest, dearest one my
spirit would be moving,
And I come. my love, my love, my love, to
thee, to thee, to thee!

Hayerly,s Opera COMPANY.

The audience at Craddock's opera. house
last evening, to witness Haverly's Opera
company in 1.-THE Merry War" was a small
but Intelligent and appreciative one, and it
is not saying too much, were seemingly
highly pleased with the performance
throughout. The company Is large and
necessarily expensive one. but seems to
have been carefully selected and renders
Strauss's MERRY War" in most excellent
style. The orchestral music was very good
indeed, and the chorus large and excel
lent one. There was the same difficulty
experienced, of course, that meets
all large troupes in Dallas
of our opera-house, but the trouble was met
as best IL could be and the opera moved
very smoothly throughout. The opera is
full of fun, love and good music and the
cast OF characters was extremely well filled
by the present company. Miss Dora Wiley,
the leading attraction of the COMPANY, who
was reported in some way TO have lott the
troupe, is still with it and is very fine
vocalist and charming actress indeed. Her
voice Is under good control and full of
strength, and her singing was on one or two
occasions very WARMLY encored. Mr.,
Golden as the Marquis" eileminate and
cosby, was all that could have been
desired in that role. lie has q very smooth,
soft but strong voice, and his acting was
excellent. The other characters were well
represented, especially that of 1.-THE Gen.
eral," by Mr.. Charles ii. Drew, who, al
though just assuming the role, is entitled
to special mention, both as regards his
singing and acting. Both the opera and the
company are good, as Haverlys connection
Herewith, IL nothing else, would indi ate,
and hose who witnessed the performances
last evening as before suggested, seemed
more than pleased. The lecture of General

AT the corner of Bryan and HARDWOOD
streets is hole, or rather washout, in the
sidewalk that is dangerous to the limbs
and lives Of pedestrians, and if not repaired
the city is likely to have a suit for damages
sooner or later. The fact OF it is that the
old sidewalks throughout the city are in
wretched condition, and here and there are
TO oe found dangerous holes. In places
these walks have been patched
until they are nuisance. and
frequently at night pedestrians
have TO feel their way, as il were. or take
the street in order to insure their safety.
