In 1885 citizen Of Coahuila and
Texas was in need of a helpmeet, and
passing the clearing of settler he heard
some one chopping. SO he concluded TO
turn aside and see who the axeman was.
To his utter astonishment he found a
buxom lass Of about twenty summers old,
splitting rails He engaged her in con-
versation, and then and there, on the
rail cut she had chopped and was pre-
pairing to split into rails, wooed and won
the damsel. A more honored and be-
loved couple never graced this mundane
ball than they were, and the old gentle
man is still living TO bear testimony to
what an excellent wife rail-splitting
lass proved to be. They have several
children living near old Goliad.

heartily they thought the principle o.

absurdity. The motion was voted
down. The Democratic leader, pleased

No nenenl 10 tne Con.umer.

Warrington Republican.
Gen. Green B. Raum, Commissioner oil
Internal Revenue, does not think the con.
sumner will be greatly benefited by the re.
duction in the tax on tobacco. To a
newspaper man he remarked yesterday
that the men who do the smoking and
chewing will pay as much for the same
quality-and quantity Of tobacco when the
new law goes into effect as they are paving
now, and he gave his reasons something
after this fashion:
"Cigar makers all over the country have
been striking, and manufacturers have
been discounting the future by acceding to
the demands OF the workmen. The first
profits will therefore go into the pockets Of
the employees. Manufacturers will come
In later. There Is little likelihood that the
retail prices Of cigars and cigarettes will
be changed. Plugged tobacco Is pressed
and marked for the trade in regulation
sizes and Of established grade, and there Il
not likely 10 be a change in that class oil
goods. Then again the price Of the raw
material mas advanced lately. Altogether
there is little prospect that the consumer
will be a very large gamer by the reduc'
ton in taxes on tobacco"

er: "Hi, Archiel d'you know who him is
He's Becky Sharp" Thackeray was as
founded. .on inquiry he found that the
little thing was the child OF an actress,
who had gradually come down to sewing
trousers for cheap tailors. Thackeray
found the poor woman ina garrett, boiling
potatoes for dinner. She had not been
able TO get the whole Of Vanity Fair, but
only a few odd parts. Thackeray sent her
q complete set, and something to give her
a relish to her dinner OF potatoes. "By

Lady Florence Dixie's love Of adventure
affords boundless opportunities for London
after-dinner story tellers. Here Is one that
was not, probably, told at the dinner-table:
"Right opposite The Fishery where Sir
Beaumont Dixie resides, is the country
residence Of Lord Sandys, and the lawn OF
the latter stretches clear down TO the waters
edge. Some time ago Lord Sandys gave a
dinner party, and Lady Florence Dixie
was one Of the invited guests. Before the
dinner Lord Sandys, with one Of his friends,
was enjoying q breath Of fresh air on the
lawn in the cleaning, when a sound OF
splashing drew their attention to the river.
In another moment q dripping figure
emerged from the water. The naiad turned
out to be Lady Florence, who had swan
across from The Fishery in a bathing
gown, and sent her maid around by the
bridge with her clothes" .. l..
