dressed the convention
At the eonelusio of Mr.. Lodges al
dress, the usual committees and permanent
officers were appointed.
Charles R. Goldman was chosen presi-
dent, and on taking the char addressed
the convention at considerable length, his
remarks being chiefly in reference to the
present governor. He reviewed the
Tewksbury affair and said: Zone man
has led this crusade against the fair fame
OF Massachusetts, man conspicuous
| always; of great audacity, of ready wit,
of voluble and copious speech and OF
restless personal ambition, A man of
national notoriety surely, if not of ma
tional reputation, who has often solicited
and sometimes obtained the votes of
the people, but who never has
been able to retain them long.
A legislator, long identified with Con-
gressional raids upon the treasury; a
politician who has proposed to the people
of the United States to repudiate their
| honest debts, and so to make their great
and solvent country by-word and a
kissing among nations of earth; major
general, whose most valuable services
were as provost marshal and never as &
leader of men, and whose successes were
those of the sntler and not the strate-
gist.
| After the transaction of some routine
business, the convention took a recess
until 2 o'clock.

Twists and TWingeS.

my brethren" shouted DR.. Talmage one bright
autunnal Sunday, "here is lesson from the corn
field God has arranged that the ear and the husk
shall be parted. Every rheumatic pain is but a
thrust Of the husking peg, and every neuralgic
twinge If only twist of the husker"
Possibly; but nobody wants to be husked for
all that and nature teaches us to resist the pro,
cess. Therefore, we accept with gratitude what
ever helps us to suppress those very twists and
twinges.
From his pleasant home, Greenmonnt, near
Sing-Sing, N. Y, NJ Alfred Baer. French gem
tleman, writes:
Il have suffered almost intolerable torments
from Rheumatism for many years. OF the numer-
ous remedies which have tried, none benefited
me. But PARKEE's TOXIC gave me great satisfac-
ton. certify with pleasure that it restored my
health. You are welcome to publish this and use
my name"
Messrs. Hiscox & Co., call especial attention to
the fact that this preparation, which has been
known as PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will hereafter
be advertised and sold simply under the name OF
FARKER's Tonic. As unpriqcipaled dealers are
constantly deceiying their customers by substitut
ing inferior preparations under the name of gin
ger, and as ginger is really an unimportant ingre
dent, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the preparation
itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands ol
dealers, wrapped under the name of Parker's Gin
ger Tonic, contain the genuine medicine if the
facsimile signature of HIsCoX 81 Co. is at the bot
tom of the outside wrapper.

The Leopard A Lover of Dogs.
Belgravia

The leopard is dangerous antagon-
ast, but, as a rule, it does not aspire to
larger victims than sheep and goats,
5he smaller varieties Of deer and an
5elope, calves and, above all, dogs.
Now, the poets, as Broome and
SOmerville, seem to think the leopard
looks upon the dog as its natural
master and conquerOr, whereas the
fact is than the leopard looks upon the
LOG as it's natural food. The Jeopardy
taste for dogs is certainly one of the
most extraordinary phenomena in
natural history We say that cats
Like fish and that monkeys are fond
of nuts, but these are mere passing
sw3lims, caprces of the moment, com
~5ared to the constant passion of
aa8opards for dogs. 1t is very China
Raaan for its delight in puppy, for it
VIII follow man for miles like his
SHADOW If dog be at his heels, and
It will be a very extraordinary
dog indeed if it does not at last give
the leopard it's chance. The
oest of dogs sometimes com
mits the indiscretion of
lettering behind his master or run
ming out of sight round a corner in
front Of him, and if he does this with
a leopard on his track, nothing more
is ever seen of the dog, and nothing
more heard Of him, but his last squeal
as he is swiftly snatched up from the
path and carried, with a sudden rustic
of foliage, down the hillside. Alright
leopards will prOwl around the tent,
shifting under the canvass for the dog
that they can smell within, or, in the
hill stations, will boldly come down
among the houses and carry off the
pet of the establishment, though SER
wants may be moving about 1t is on
H8eOrd that IN the Station of GumsoOr
net a single dog escaped, and nearly
every resident of India who has ever
.camped out in the Jungle where leop-
ards are, or has lived in ''the hills, "
has had some tragic experience of this
mania of the leopard for dogs. In
about the same degree, but obviously
for very different reasons, the monkey
takes the most profound interest In the
leopard, and when one is afOot the
four-handed folk follow him as close
ly as they dare, shaking the branches
Ia their absurd rage, chattering fu-
rt0uSly at their enemy and making
faces at him. Sometimes, however,
Che leopard stops abruptly and gIares

gathering overhead, get so excited in

one Of their number is pretty sure to
loose its balance and tumble conven-
iently into the leopard's mouth. A
tradition was once widely current
that the panther was sweetly scented ;
said Dryden: THE panthers breath
was ever famed for sweet" and that
this fragrance was so fascinating to
some animals that it enticed them to
their death IN the jaws of the aromatic
beast. 1t is a fact, however, that the
panther itself is peculiarly sensible to
perfumes, and among other instances
is one of undeniable authenticity of
a panther being tanned with lavender
water.

hors du combat. It measured 4 feet
6 inches from tip to tip and made a
hard fight, as the appearance of the
dog testified, he being badly torn and
bitten. This is undoubtedly the ami
NAL that has been causing no little
alarm to the more timorous of this To-
cality for some weeks past. 1t is sup
posed that it strayed in here from the
forests of Elk or Clarion counties.
1t is said that a brisk demand for
books upon the subject of slavery has
sprung up In some parts of the South
during the last two or three years, and
that volumes which formerly cumber-
ed booksellers shelves, and would
have been gladly sold for song, are
fetching large prices. A dealer in
secondhand books has thus disposed
of 200 copies of a defense of slavery
by prominent Southern clergyman
which he bought at five cents apiece.

name of J, G. Lively, an influential and
respected citizen of that county, to note

with the officers who had him In charge, TO

Cotton Factory.

The mass meeting called for Saturday at
10 a. m, at the Merchants Exchange, will
virtually decide whether the people OF Dal-
las intend to make Dallas the metropolis of
north Texas, or whether they are content
with the position achieved and will let the
future take care OF itself. We hope the de.
cision will be forward, and the balance Of
the stock subscribed at once.
Never has there been offered in this city
more feasible plan to establish cotton
factory, and while the stock holders will
reap direct benefit by good dividends, the
whole city will feel its influence by increas.
ing trade, and also the value Of real.estate.
The directors are anxious hat the people
Of Dallas should act quickly, if at all, and
in order to enable those in attendance to
diecuss the question without hurry, lunch
will be served. Remember Saturday morn
ing, 10 O'Clock, at the Merchants Exchange.

THE OLD STORY
Have IOu Eyer Haard IL


The oldstory about Dutchman who went
to the bank to draw his money, and when
the cashier handed 1t to him, he would not
take it, saying that il you have got the
money then don't want it, but if you have
not got it, then wantit. 1t is Just the same
thing to-day with the stock of the cotton
t,ctory. There is no doubt that as soon as
the shares are all subscribed then people
will want the shares, and they will then be
so sure Of its success that they will pay a
premium in order to get them.
There never was better investment
offered here or anywhere else, and still it is
remarkable that this stock has not all been
taken two weeks ago. However, the good
work goes on, and within a few DAYS the
directors will no doubt be able to announce
that the stock is all taken, and the demand
and scramble for the stock will commence.
A word to the wise is sufficient. Sub.
scribe now while you can, in few days it
may be too late.

music, tableaux, etc. The sad, sweet story
of Eyangeline, from the scenes Of the
"aagons 81 home brewed ale" through her
long, vain wandering in search of her lover,
10 the last "recogHition," was beautifully
represented in tableaux by Miss Ernestine

teens.
The courtship of Miles Standish. as read
by Miss Hattie Bacon was quite success
and was warmly appreciated.
"Woman's Rights" by Gay Marshall, a
satirical composition, representing an old
lady lecturer from Boston, was replete with
humor showing that the young man en-

woman leaving the sphere of home and
entering the field of politics, etc.
The whole entertainment was success
in the true meaning of the word, and the
performance was heartily applauded
throughout.

The Mexican National

CRY OF MEXICO, June 2l.-The general
manager of the National railway states the
company has not forfeited the works be.
tween Morelis and Patzcuaro, although the
concession from the state was forfeited.
The federal concession author ICES those
works. He anticipated no difficulty from
the government to his laying rails over the
disputed section. Those interested in the
recent concession granted by the state OF
Michocoan claim the National company
cannot build to Palzcuaro under its federal
concession. There is much excitement in
Morelia and Patzcuaro over the railroad
question.
