BAD FOR HIS WIFE.

He moved one seat to get along
side of an old farmer, and then
asked:
'*How was wheat in this section
this year?"
"Only medium, sir. I did intend
to get the old lady silk dress this
fall, but the wheat turned out SO
poorly that l can't do it."
HAY pretty good?'
Nothing extra. I was going to
get the old woman new cloak this
fall, but she'll have to wear the old
one another year, I guess"
''Oats look fair?"
"WelI, they won't begin to hold
out. My crop will fail short over a
hundred bushels. I was going to
send the old woman on visit to
York State this fall, but I guess
she'll have to stay to home"
"But the potatoes are certainly a
big crop?"
Eyes, potatoes are a big yield,
and that will cut the price down to
two shillings a bushel. was going

A HUSBAND AND A MULE.

Not long since Wakefield Star
key, of Austin, while crossing the
track of the international and Great
Northern Railroad on valuable
mule, was struck by a locomotive
and killed. The mule was also
hurled iuto eternity. Wakefield
Starkey, although perfect gentle
man on the street, was perfect
tyrant of the deepest dye. With
out any provocation whatever, he
used to beat his wife and lock her
up in the wardrobe; hence, when
she heard of his death, it was not
SO much a case of heavy bereave-
ment as it was of mitigated afflic-
ton. As the engineer of the loco
motive was clearly to blame for the
accident, it was suggested to the
widow that she bring suit for dam
ages. She resolved to do so, and
called at the Office of the railway
company. The proper official hap
pened to be in. The widow had
such clear case against the COM
pany that it was deemed advisable
to compromise the matter.
''Now, madam" said the official,
after the widow had thrown back
her veil and stated her business,
Eve are willing to do what is fair
in this matter. There is really no
occasion to go to law. It is q deli
cate subject to discuss, SO I think,
without going into the merits of it.
l will tender you a check for three
thousand dollars, and you will sign
a paper releasing the company
from all further demands"
The widow started, and asked:
"How much?"

the foundation of a new empire and OF re-
s~istance to a degrading domination among
its American settlers. All tEe adventurous
spirits of the border were attracted by the
scent of warfare and the hope OF fortune,
and a small party was formed of the daring
rovers in the Indian Territory. Houston
Joined this and naturally became the leader,
although he was so poor at the time that ne
had to take his departure on a small pony
unfit to carry his weight, which was finally
exchanged by the good will of one OF his as
socrates for a more preSentable horse. lie dlo
not at once conquer his feeling of degrade
ton and hopelessness, but remained for some
time with a small settlement of Cherokees
upon the Red river before going forward to
Texas. Perhaps, deprived of the opportunity
for Indulgence, his manly qualities strength
ened themselves, or the news of the immi-
hence of the struggle with Mexico still fur
Their fired his spirit, and he finished his jour
ney with such results as are familiar to his
tory.
That he sincerely loved his Indian wife is
made evident by the fact that when he had
established himself and won fame and honor
in Texas, he sent for her to join him, but
she refused to leave her people and familiar
life, and died after a few years in the home
which he had made. He left nc Indian
children, but the family of his wife was a
large and notable one, and his nephews anu
nieces are numerous in the tribe, some or
them distinguished by their influence and
intelligence. To his credit Houston never
forgot his friendship with the Cherokees or
endeavored to ignore his life among them.
After his election to the United States Sen
ate he was fervent in advocating their inter-
ests and in defending them from injustice.
Not only as the special champion of this
tribe, but in an intelligent understanding OF
the Indian question, and the wisdom as we'll
as the justice of honesty and consideration
he was far beyond the majority of the public
men of his time, and particularly of the spirit
of border greed and prejudice, which is by
no means yet extinct. Liz some of the
army officers who had shared their tears and
learned to admire their bravery and faith
~fulness, he was the friend of the Indians
from sympathy as we'll as a sense of upright
ness and honor, and respected their barbaric
virtues as he understood the elements of
their character. HIS rooms were always
open to the Cherokee delegations when they
arrived in Washington, and be was their
friendly companion as well as the sharer of
their councils and their advocate at the In
dian Bureau and on the floor of Congress.
His regard was repaid with lasting reverence.
He has a peculiar place In the remembrance
and tradition of the Cherokee people as their
faithful and powerful friend, and his name
is perpetuateda as an honorable ~patronymic

During the Siege of Paris.
History of the Franco-German War.
Few balloon voyages can compare, for ex-
citing and p~erilous incidents, with one which
was performed at the time Of the siege of
Paris by the we'll known NJ. Nadar. That
gentleman left Tours for Paris, with govern
ment dispatches, at 6 in the morning. At IL
he was within view Of the capitol, and,
while floating about 5000 metres above Fort
Clarendon, a second balloon was observed on
the horizon. NJ. Nadir at once displayed the
French flag, and the other balloon responded
by exhibiting the same colors.
Gradually the two balloons approached one
another, being drawn in the same direction
by the same current of air. When they
were separated by only a short distance sew
eral explosions were heard. The strange
aeronaut continued to fire shots at M. Ma
dar's balloon, the "Intrepide." which began
to descend rapidly. The French flag had by
this time been taken in by the other bal
loon, and the Prussian colors were exhibited
instead. Those who were watching the
affair from the French below, and who
of the pursuer, cried out that
Nadar was lost. But they We're mistaken.
He had scrambled from the car up
the network of the balloon on the first shot
from the enemy, apparently to stop a hole
made in the tissue; and he now descended as
the balloon righted itself, aod, on a quantity
of ballast being thrown out, again rose high
into the air.
Shots were then fred in rapid succession
from the "~Intrepide' into the Prussian bal
loon, which suddenly sank to the earth with
headlong rapidity. Ga reaching the ground,
a detachment of Uhlans, who had watched
the combat from the plain, picked up tn,
aeronaut, and rode off to the Prussian out
posts. NJ. Nadar then descended in safety a.

The Rev. John Jasper is so popular in
Richmond that when a stranger inquiries
the way to his church the directions are
to take a car to a certain corner and
then follow the crowd. DR.. Ludlow de-
scribec him as one of very few of the
old time cOlored preachers left in the
South. CAS- such he is an historical
study But he is of still greater inter-
est as showing the capabilities of the
negro mind. If such forceful oratory,
such power to sway men of his caste,
be compatible with utter ignorance,
what might net Jasper have become
had he been educated in the forms of
truth and trained in the arts of express
sion?" These impressions were given
by sermon on Jasper's favorite belief,
that 'de sun do move" a nefgbboring
preacher had ridiculed his arguments on
that subject, and the discourse closed
with this challenge: "I dar' de Reber,
