Murder.

just after dark on Wednesday, the 2lst
ut, the house of David Jones, who resided
In the upper part of this county, some
Twenty-Five miles from our town, was
noticed to be on fire, and on some persons
repairing to the spot his body was seen ly-
ing inside. For some reason no attempt
was made to rescue il till morning, when it
was found that he Ind been murdered, his
s"ull having been broken.
Mr.. Jones was an old man, q cripple,
having lost one leg, was we'll of in worldly
goods, and lived alone. He was probably
murdered for his money, and the house set
on fro to conceal the crime. He came from
near Chicago last spring, and engaged in
the stock business. He is reported TO have
been worthy and harmless citizen. His
brother at Chicago has been telegraphed
for and is expected No very promising
clue as to the perpetrator of the crime.

WE think the County Commissioners
made great mistake in not enclosing the
public square, as was contemplated on the
completion of the court house. The pres
ent little pen detracts very much from the
appearance of the building. A good, wide
street around the square is all that is of any
practical use, while the space could be used
to good advantage if inclosed Better
have economical in some other direction.

ingletter from Dallas, from an able and

recognize in the writer former citizen of

again.
His reference to San Marcos as the right
place for paper mill comes apropos of the
burning of Pegue's mill, which will lead no
doubt 20 new enterprises in connection with
our famous water power. We hope the
suggestion of a paper mill may be consider
ed and carried out.

new financial ccneme.
Ia Germany the cars on the railroads
are not constructed after the manner Of
our American cars, but are divided into
compartments, each compartment being
Intended for the accommodation Of four
persons. II is not an uncommon thing
for a passenger, who desires to have
compartment, to subsidiZe the conduc-
tor to keep other passengers out 1t
also happens occasionally that after tine
conductor has been thus subsidized, he,
nevertheless, violates his agreement by
admitting other passengers into the
compartment, and the party Of the first
part has no remedy against the imposi-
ton. A pretty shrewd traveller hit upon
device by which he could prevent tho
conductor from violating his part of the
contract He whispered to the conduc-
tor.
81 want this coupe to myself all the
way to Frankfort, and Ii give you a
thaler, and cutting thaler bill in two,
ne gave one Of the halves to the Devil
dered conductor who asked:
"Oi what use IS the half of the bill to
me?'
"lts Of no use to you, my friend, Just
now, and the other half, which is Of no
use to me, I'll keep until we get to
Frankfort. II you do not allow any
body else TO come into the compart-
ment during the trip, as soon as we ar
rive there I'll give you the other half of
the bill You can paste the two halves
together, and it vii! pass for its full
value. II, however, you don't keep
your agreement; and run mon into
this car, I'll keep my half and have the
satisfaction OF knowing that you cant
use your half. DO you see?'
This was a new wrinkle to the con-
ductor, but he saw the point, He put
a card marked Taken on the other
seats, and the traveller was not disturb
ed. On arriving at Frankfort he gave
the conductor the other half of the bill,
and thus both parties got what they
wanted
We suggest that this scheme would
work well in this country We would
like that some of our readers would try
II on hotel waters and report results.
You have, no doubt, often noticed when
you give a hotel waiter a dollar with
the selfish purpose Of encouraging him
to wait on you with more alacrity, be
generally turns up at another table the
next day, and waits on YOU no more, or
be leaves the hotel altogether Give
him the half Of dollar bill. with the
promise of the other half at the end of
the week, and see how he works. Pol
iticians could work this scheme, and
the second half of the bill could be Civ
en- the voter after the election, provided
he voted as he promised Then, when
buying from Nose Schaumourg an over
coat, "dot viii not wade, rip at der
seams, und will year year as goot as
new, or YOU gets your money pack
it might be good idea to try the Ger
man scheme, and pay Nose the sec
ond half of the bill when the garment
proves to be as represented. Think
the matter over; there something in it.

Secrets in WASHINGTON.

Secrets are often valuable in Wash
ington. When the Ways and Means
Committee decided to increase the tax
on whisky to two dollar, gallon, a
number of fortunes are said to have
been made within small circle Of
men. In the dark days OF 81 Il treasury
clerk kept for twenty-four hours n Sc
cret known only TO President Lincoln
and Secretary Chase besides himself.
When it became officially known, it sent
gold flying up, and the country was in
dismay. 1t was n secret too that could
have been passed on without han mng
the Union cause. Il was simply a cues
ton OF keeping faith till the ime came.
An hour after the news broke, the clerk
fairly staggered under n terrific slap On
his shoulder. He heard and saw i bank
er whom be knew We !. you miScra-
bic fool,' cried the banker nd have
given you one hundred thousand dol
lars to have known thi, twenty -four

well have afforded to do it. But the

that he had done his duty, rs many an

Giggling Girls.


Giggling, SAYS the New York Graphic,
is said to be exclusively an American
accomplishment, Perhaps it is, We
do not know.
What is a giggle? Scientists that is
to say, anatomists, professors Of faci
ology, psychology, phrenology, physi
ology, and some Of the other Ologes
might explain the cause If il from thcil
several too excessively practical points
OF view. They might explain why u
hen produces eggs and why butter is an
extract of COW. But the giggle is a
very different thing The giggle is o
cross between sore heart and an &C
tive and bounding appreciation of fun.
Your girgler is never demOnstrative.
He can not be demonstratiye-it is not
in his nature. He is the sly Joker
though he thoroughly enjoys the roar.
ing cartoon, He is conservative. lie
expresses himself in few words when,
at long intervals, he finds it necessary
to do that daring thing.
He is the man who IN every process
sion brings up the rear, and who never
has friend to walk with him. He is
the odd man at the dinner which re,
quires partners. He never dances. He
doesn' swear because that would at
tract attention. He is whitc-faced and
passiOnless, though, Of course, he gives
way to violence when he is alone by
tearing his hair.
We have omitted to mention the
somewhat important fact that no man
giggles. Your giggler is, after all, ,
girl. Not often woman, for your wo
man laughs and doesn't care who hears
it. She has lived long enough to know
that she had better have her entire fun.
or let the fun entirely alone, 1t is only
the girl who giggles. 1t is merely that
bone which has not matured, that
thought which scars only to the bonnet,
that beauty which has not become con.
scious of the fact that it is beyond cr,i.
cism, that doubt which is nursed only
by the girl who has not had several en-.
gagements, and accordingly is not con.
WINGED that her reputation as a charm
ing person is established
We find, accordingly, that the gir.
gle is unbaked dough, undcveloped art,
uncooked veal, incipent laughter, 1t
belongs never to man or woman; but
merely to girls. 1t is pulseless, but not
soulless The fun which inspires it has
been driven back by timidity as with
sledge-hammer, but it is there. 1t
has no sinew, but it promises, like
the tenderness OF the Young willow, to
develop, for it is full of sap 1t is the
brief song OF bird in the night II

would win laughter, but presently it
will spread its wings and shake lis sides.

open daylight, in which everything was
distinctly seen, aud his flesh tones were
warm and clear; after that time, he
preferred the light which breaks over
certain objects and leaves the rest in
shade, while his touch became very
spirited, and his flesh tones were so
golden that they were less natural than
before.
