Don't 90 to Texns Youno Mon.

General Dabney II. Maury, who
has been South recently in the in
terest of the Southern Historical So
ciety, is eminently sensible in civil
as well as military matters. He
has recently written letter to the
Industrial South, published at Rich
mond, Va, in which he takes
strong grounds against our young
men deserving their homes and
seeking hard life in Texas. He
says:
Texas does well enough as a field
for able bodied, reSolute young men
who love hard work and can stand
a hard life, to SOW their wild oats
and to get rough experiences; but
the same energy, the same capital,
the same endurance (the same pri-
vations are impossihle) applied in
Virginia will build up a greater re-
suit, and amidst all that makes life
worth living. For women, Texas
is a hades. The life on a ranch
means for a woman the hardest do

butter, no doctor, no neighbors, no

are never initiated or counterteited. This is
especially true of family medicine, and it
is positive proof that the remedy initiated is
of the highest value. As soon as it had been
tested and proved by the whole World that
Hop Bitters was the purest, pest and most
valuable family medicine on earth, many
limitations sPrang up and began to steal the
notices in which the press and the people
of the country had expressed the merits of
III. B., and in every way trying to induce
suffering invalids to use their stuff instead,
expecting to make money on the credit and
good name of II. B. Many others started
nOstrums put up in similar style to II. B.,
with variously devised names in which the
word "Hop' or "Hops" We're used in a way
to induce people to believe they were the
same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended
remedies or cures, no matter what their
style or name is, and especially those with
the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name,
are limitations or counteTfeits. Beware of
them. Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch of
green Hops on the white label. Trust moth
ing else. Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations OF counterfeits

Helpless Forfy-Two Years.
Easton, Pa, Free Press.

Emma Louisa Hayden died on
Sunday at the residence of her ia
Their, William Hayden, Reading.
She was forty-two years, two
months and twenty-six days old.
In all these years she was unable to
speak or walk, although in full po-
session of all her other faculties.
She was only about four feet in
height. Her hands and feet were no
larger than those of a child eight
years of age while her head was
fully developed, and her face was
that ola person even beyond her
years. Her helplessness from the
time of her birth, and when yet a
child physicians said shes would not
reach her seventh year. She reach
ed six times that age. During her
lifetime she was daily carried to
and from bed, and to the table. At
the table she could feed herself, but
did not possess sufficient strength to
handle a knife and fork easily.
Since Christmas she complained of
feeling unweIl. but was up until
short time ago, and when death
came it was unexpected to her par
ents and friends.

Schneider'S Romance.

Here is bit of romance about
Hortense Schneider, the. "Grand
Duchesse de Gerolstein," who now,
not many months after her mar
riage, is seeking a divorce from the
Court de Bionne. Years ago, as
Boulotte in "Barbe- Bleu," she used
to eat real cherries, even though
they were out of season, and had to
be brought from afar at great eX-
pense. Every evening she would
toss one of the cherry-stOnes among
the audience, where it would be
eagerly snatched up by some adj
mirer and preserved as precious
memento. One gentleman who was
lucky as to catch one of the stones,
instead of mounting it in ring as
was the fashion, planted it in his
garden, and there grew from it a
vigorous tree, which in few years
began bearing choice fruit, basket
of which was hencefOrth sent to the
prima donna every year by her hOr-
ticuIture admirer. In time, Bou-
fOltte became the Countess de Bion-
ne, and mirabile dictu, the tree,
which for some weeks had been
languishing, died and its last with
cred leaves dropped to the ground
on the very day of her wedding.

MEmORlA INV ErERNA.

Waveless, tideless upper sea,
Send some message down TO me!
Sea on whose blue breast remote
Stars like golden shaliops float;
Where Orionis dagger bright
Smites athwart the shield OF night,
And, Stree lances Of the sky"
Mete0rs sweep, and comets fly;
Where so many ships there be
Moored or fieattng-mystic sea,
Send some message down to me-
All the air around me throDs
With my sick hearts stormy sobS;
Arms no chains of flesh Unfold
Seem to clasp me in their hold;
Fingers made of filmy air
Softly thread my silvered hair
Unsgbstantial shadows fall
In the moonlight on the wall
Love, are these wild fancies true?
Floating near me, Is 1t your
Years may come and years may go,
Frosted hair may turn to snow,
And finger here below;
But my soul In summers bloom,
As amid the winters gloom,
Like a wild-bird lost at sea,
Day and night calls out for thee.
Through the golden gates of Sleep
Send some message may keep,
Some sweet token may shrine
Like an amulet divine,
Till upon that summer shore
Where times surges cease to roar,
Meeting, we shall part no more.

Hornets IN A Car.
Philadelphia Times.

A young man who lives on West
Spruce street, ventured out alone in
to the unknown regions of Lower
Merton few days ago. The young
| man did not know much about the
country and it seemed quite natural
that he should wish to carry Hume
to West Spruce street a menento of
his trip. specimen in from natural
history. He saw hanging from low
bush by the roadside strange OBJ
ject, very much like small balloon
made of course gray paper. This
singular thing seemed to be just the
specimen ne wanted. He broke off
the twig from which the curiosity
was suspended and went to the sta
ton. He entered we'll filled car,
placed his specimen in hat-rack
and sank into a seat.
The car was warm. The warmth
seemed very delightful to theyoung
man who had been out in the cold
SO long. In short time he was in
doze. The car grew warmer. The
young man slept. Suddenly the
artificial summer atmosphere was
rent by an unearthly shrek and a
lady rose convulsively and just as
suddenly tainted. Before the start
led passengers had tiine to discover
the cause of their alarm another la
dy repeated the performance. A
third who began it in the same
manner would probably have fin
ished it without any change in the
programme had she not received
sudden shock that acted like harts-
horn and saved her from losing con-
seriousness, for just behind her a
man began TO swear in style truly
diabOlical. And as if matters were
not bad enough, a baby set up a
yell and would not be comforted.
The passengers soon got into a
strange cOmmOtion. The men
were dancing and some of them
swearing the women trembling,
fainting and shrieking; the child
rem scrambling under the seats and
numbering and whimpering. The
young man aWOke in amaZement.
For moment he thought that the
people We're crazy and that some of
them would do injury to his pre-
historic balloon. Then the conduc-
tor burst through the crowd and
stood before the young man. He
did not speak. He leaned over in
front of the young man and opened
the window. The young man was
surprised. The conductor seized
the prehistoric specimen and threw
it through the window with all his
strength.
''Impertinence ~ shrieked the
young man." how dare you touch
my specimen ?''
"Your specimen ~ roared the
conductor. 'Why, you fool, don't
you know it's hornets nest ?"

AN old man would not believe he
could hear his wife talk a distance
of five miles by telephone. His
better half was IN a country store
several miles away, where there
was a telephone, and the skeptic
was also in a place where there was
a similar instrument, and, on being
told how to operate it, he walked
boldly up and shouted, Hello,
Jane !" At that instant lightning
struck the telephone-wire and
knocked the man down, and as he
scrambled to his feet he eXcitedly
cried, THAT'S Jane every time. p

The mighty Mississippi
NH CaY,finaI

The ways of the Mississippi are as
wonderful as the ways of its COM
mission; it unmakes and makes
farms, carries away and builds up
islands, with an expenditure of en-
lights of the world for a thousand
years if it could be mastered. 1t is
wonderful to see a dozen acres of
land disappear like magic into the
flood and to find the channel of the
great river completely changed
after the subsistence and farm ap-
pearing where the former channel
had its course. Mr.. Cable, in his
little story of "Belles Demoiselles
Plantation" does not exagerate the
power of the hungry river:
1.-THE high, arched doors and win
dOws were thrown wide open to the
summer air. From every opening
the bright light of numerous can
deIabra darted out upon the spark
ling foliage of magnolia and bay,
and here and there in the spacious
Verandas a colOred lantern swayed
in the gentle breeze. A sound of
revel fell on the ear, the music of
harps, and across one window,
brighter than the rest once or twice,
the shadows of dancers. Bellies De-
mOiselles, the home of merriment,
the house of dancing, all in the
treamor and glow of pleasure, sud-
denly sunk-sunk down into the
merciless, unfathomable flood of the
Mississippi"
Many old soldiers will remember
island No. 10, before and about
which Pope sat for many weeks.
Then it was great island. Before
the war it had 400 acres of cultiva-
ted land-a fine residence, a splen-
did orchard, and grove of fig trees,
negro cabins, fences, and all that
goes to make up a prosperous plan
tatiOn. In the first part of the war
the shores of island No. 10 were
lined with batteries supported by
1000 men. To-day this island does
not eXist-the place where it stood
is known by slight ripple of the
surface.
This is the way the Mississippi
swallows up plantations. John
tributing nightly toward stopping
the TOldilOn Vi the SdIlH' ne DS-
lieves that all these farms that go
down into the the gulf tend to dis
turb the balance of the globe and to
check its daily motion. If the
Egyptians had not built the pyra-
mids, if London had never been
built, if the building material of
Paris still rested in the catacombs,
the balance would not have been
and the sun would rise
earlier than it does now. He calcu-
lates that the Mississippi alone re-
tarGs the rotation of the earth the
part of a second in
century. Still, a more immediate
ly practical inquiry is, whether
Missouri or Tennessee ought to col
lect taxes from a man whose farm |
has gone down to the gulf?
