DALLAS, May 16.-Business in TINS city
Ia onIv active, ana while it may not be as
large in volume as il has been in the past
few weeks. the falling off may be attributed
TO the festivities of the week. Very lew OF
those who visit the city at this time give
any attention to business matters, and
those who are here are present ior the pal :
pose of spending u week in recreation and
pleasure. Still Dallas displays her usual
attractions, and the general trade OF the
city is neither augmented or reduced, Dal'
las is Just what she is, and the s@ngeriest
and Press Association do not add TO or de-
tract from her daily trade. The business
OF this city is fixed, and the festive atirac
iions of the day do not influence her trade
in the least.

A Love Letter.

GAINESVILLE (Ga.) Eagle.
Dearest Amelia-My love is stronger than
the smell of coffee, patent butter or the kick
of young cow. Sensations of exquisite joy
go through me like cohorts of ants through
an army cracker and caper over my heart
like young goats on a stable roof. l feel as
though l could lift myself by my boot straps
to the height of n church steeple or like an
old stage horse in green pasture. As the
mean pup bankers after sweet milk, so do
banker after your presence. And as the Cos
lin swimmeth in the mud puddle, so do
swim in a sea of delightfulness when you are
near me. My heart flops up and down like a
churn dasher and my eyes stand open like
cellar doors in a country town; and if my
love is not reciprocated 1 will pine away and
die like a poisoned bedbug and you can
come and catch a cold on my grave.

Right Reverend Rector Morgan Dix, Doctor
of Divinity and son of the late Governor and
Major General John A. Dix. DIR. Dix was
once a bridegroom of the church and
preached beautiful sermonettes to ladies in
pantaettes in which he concIusively proved
that clergymen should never marry. Then
he fell from his pinnacle and married a lady
of large wealth. He has been delivered of
sundry interesting lectures lately on divorce,
infanticide and the neglect of martial VOWS,
which have attracted general attention.

LOVE AND sEAsICKNEss.
A Picture of Devotion and Suffering on the
Billows.

DlIlOWS.
English Letter Writer
Nothing is sacred at sea. Sentiment that
is full of poetry in drawing-rooms, among
flowers, under the moonshine, among hedges,
takes another character among rough waters.
| remember once crossing fifty miles of sea
in company with young gentleman and his
bride. They were returning, l took it, from
their honeymoon. They sat together upon
a small, uncomfortable bench fixed against
the inside of the paddle-box, whence they
commanded a fine view of the action of the
engines, and where the smell of the oil-cans
hung steadily in the wind They both knew
they were going to be sick. and sat with
hands locked, two devoted hearts
bent on suffering together. The stew
ard-a pale, large, sandy-haired man
considerably anticipated their wants by
placing a couple of basins at their feet The
dismal implements made but melancholy
foreground for the imprisoned pair, and
wondered how they would like to have had
their photographs taken in that posture. A
quarter of an hour sufficed to make the pic
ture tragical. The wife leaned across the
husband, and the husband held on to her.
His heroic devotion was immense. l could
hear him III cultural accents pouring cOnso-
lation into her deaf ears amid the intervals of
his own commissions, and when an unusually
heavy roll to leeward caused both basins to
slide away out of sight under the bench,
never beheld anything more touching than
his struggles to replace them without Letting
go of his wife.
Happily, however, the heart is occasional
ly steeled against such objects of misery as
this by spectacles of selfshness and fear in
the last degree contemplate. particularly
recall a gaunt Frenchman with a spiked
mustache, who long before nausea afflicted
him, refused to stir from his seat to help his
miserable, PROSTATE wife, and who answered
her murmurs to Emile to put something un-
der her head and something over her feet by
fierce commands to her to hold her tongue.
This wretched man was himself seized with
nausea and, so great was his fear-either ex-
cited by the somewhat heavy sea that washed
alongside the vessel, or by his sufferings,
which, to judge from the noise he made,
must have led him to suppose that, by
bit the whole of him was going overheard
that, after every explosion, l could hear him

a Sketch of DIR. Dix.
New York Letter.

New York Letter.
DIR. Dix is very estimable, though very
narrow, and could not be other than narrow
under any. circumstances. He is a priest
who ought to have lived at least four centu-
ries ago. Any physiognomist would at a
single glance recognize him as the kind of a
man who would hold just such views as he
has expressed about women. The doctor
would have felt at home with Tertullian,
Augustine and Jerome beyond whom he
has not materially advanced He is said to
have spent much time in trying to reconcile
Roman Catholicism and Episcopalianism,
and to discover the exact point wherein the
two churches diverged. Earlier in life, he
came to the conviction that ministers OF the
gospel ought to be celibates, but few years
later he took wife; ill-natured people as
sorting that he had altered his opinions be-
cause she had money. This is altogether
untrue; he is not man of that order He
claimed l think, that he had received divine
illumination on the subject through prayer.
He is the incarnation of evangeicalism, and
is Incidentally old-fashioned, not to say
antediluvian. One OF his great mental def
ciencies is his want of humor of which he is
as destitute as an owl. Consequently he will
not be annoyed by the cartoons and carica-
lures in the comic weeklies.

The Presidency of Purdue.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Now. as DR.. White has left Purdue Uni
versity, allow me to present the name of
Professor John NJ. Bloss for that position.
No man in the State would fill the university
with students as he would do He is a ma
tive of the State having been born near
Salem, Ind, and his name is almost a
household word in southern Indiana. He is
a graduate of one of the colleges of the
State, is very thorough scholar, was raised
on farm, and would fill every requirement
of president. Many years ago he attended
medical lectures, and has ever since been a
student of science. What Purdue needs is
students. The State will not long lend her
aid to skeleton" institution. Elect such a
man as Professor Bloss to the presidency.
and he will fill the school with farmers
boys. CITIZEN.

l, and, to use his own language, he said to
Senator Spann that he would deliver six
Democratic senators who would vote with the
Republicans for the Wilson bill" ]
appeal to Senators Spann, Bundy and Henry
if this is not true. He then went to Senator
Magee, Democratic senator, true and re-
liable gentleman, who had opposed my bill
all the time, who did not attend the caucus
upon it, and he urged upon Senator Magee
to stand firm in his opposition to my bill,
and promised him that he would oppose it
also | appeal to Senator Magee if this is not
true. Yet no less than half an hour after
ward, when Senator Henry was addressing
the Senate, and who took occasion to say in
the course of his remarks that it was not
certain that my bill would pass the Senate
that there was war between
Bell and myself over it, I Immediately
arose and stated that Bell and myself stood
side by side in support of the bill. Bell in
stantly came to me and shook hands with
me and said THAT is So" l appeal to the
whole Senate if this is not true. l knew
what Bell had been doing and saying against
the bill, and had no promise from him that
he would support it; but | knew that he, who,
as he says in his interview, restrained his
wrath from breaking a chair over my head,
was not game enough when the pressure
came to stand out against the eau
GUS and that his word pledged to
the Republican senators was not worth
relying upon. He voted for my BILL but he
secretly tried to kill it. Perhaps he can ex-
plain why his colleague, Senator Null, a
Democrat, voted to sustain the Governors
veto of it,
Who is a personal prostitute?" Bell is
now whining before the public because of
the language l used toward him. l appeal
to the whole Senate if it is not So that in
less than three days after had characterized
him as did, he voluntarily came to me and
asked me to assist him in reinstating
Secretary Kelly. He spoke to me upon
all occasions after that, and treated
me as if nothing had happened,
the only difference being that his demeanor
lite and friendly than it had been before Is
it not strange that after this he would go
home, as he has done, and cause to be pub
lished that 1 wanted to apologize to him.
and that he replied that he would have moth
ing to do with me? He had all to do with
me that he possibly could have without an
apology from me, or an effort upon his part
to obtain one. To those who know Bell, his
conduct does not seem strange.
If l have unjustly offended the Senate or
the public, to them l stand ready to make
Acknowledgements but to him, who without
any cause brought on the difficulty, and
who has given false and cowardly account
of it to the public, 1 have no apology to
make, and nothing but contempt to offer.
And in perfect kindness l say to the press
who have published that l was intoxicated
in the Senate, that you have done so on the
naked statement of Bell / challenge the pro-
duction of a single witness or circumstance
to corroborate him. Jason 3. Brown.
