IT is said by those who ought to know,
that the title of holders of fully one third
the land of this county is defective. A
great deal of this is on account of in
formalities and omissions in the probate
courtsome years ago. And still the people
never stop to think of qualifications of
different candidates at an election.

MANY ladies admire gray hair-on
some other person. But few care to try
its effect on their own charms. Nor
need they, since Ayers Hair Vigor pre-
vents the hair from turning gray, and
restores gray hair to its original color.
1t cleanses the scalp, prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, and wonderfully stimu-
lates the growth of the hair.

While doing good work in protecting
trains, the Mexican government should
also cease it's barbarous policy of ar
resting and throwing in prison train
men whenever an accident occurs, no
matter how unavoidable. The course
which has been pursued in several
cases of this kind has tended to reflect
deep disgrace upon the Mexican gov
eminent, and, if continued, will not
only deter Americans from entering
railway service in Mexico, but will pre-
vent American capital from being 10
vested in the construction of railways

FROM 1860 TO 1854.

It is interesting to note the fact that
one of the seven commencement orators
out of a class of over 200 graduates at
Harvard this year, is a young colored
man. His name is Robert Heberton
Terrell, and he was born in Virginia, of
slave parents in 1857. He came to Mas
sachusetts at Is, and was for time a
waiter in Memorial Hall, the large club
house on the college campus, but was
encouraged to prepare for the Univer-
sity, and now graduates with the honors
of his class. His remarkably success
full career so far will be an encourage
ment and inspiration to thousands of
his race. Who would have dreamed in
1860, that in less than a quarter of a
century, child of slavery would be an
honored gradurate of the leading Amer
lean University?

LAND IN IRELAND.

The unproductiveness of Irish proper
ty is giving landlords serious trouble.
Even the low rents which they have
set upon the holdings are not always
forthcoming, and they are driven to
their wits ends as to what they can or
ought to do. They are anxious to sell,
but unfortunately capitalists outside of
Ireland are not disposed TO invest their
means in Irish property. A few days
ago meeting of landlords was held in
ID bin, and the situation considered
but nothing satisfactory was arrived at
The matter of selling to the tenantry
was discussed, but even this seems i'm
possible, for the owners and tenants
cannot come to an agreement. The
landlords are anxious to get price for
their lands equal to the capitalized rent
Of ten years, and to this the tenants
will not agree. Mr.. Parne1l and other
Irish leaders recommend price equal
to the capitalization of seven years, but
this the owners are unwilling to accept.
Thus the matter stands, and in the
meantime the population is thinning
out by emigration.

A Mytllery.

[From the Wiliamsport Breakfast Tablet
One day the gods we're making men,
and after they had turned out seven or
eight good healthy, active fellows, Ju-
piter, who was bossing the job, turned
to the crowd and said:
"We've run out of brains, and can't
make any more men to-day. I've got
little piece left here. but it isn't big
enough to make a man." It was an in
conceivably small object that the god
showed them-perhaps as large as a
pin head or the hind legs of a Colora-
do beetle. "Wel," he said, "what shall
do with it?" and he held up little
piece of brain.
Guess you'll have to make a dude
out of it," observed one of the gods
carelessly. Its not big enough for a
horse, and too big for mule, SO you
can't make much out of it,
Cali, right" sighed Jupiter, t" dude it
is. But it's pity to waste so much
good brain where it won't do any good
anyhow" And that's how we came to
have dudes.

authorizations.

A couple of firms in New York hav-
ing been caught using poisonous chemi-
Gals to color coffee and change it's ap-
pearance, the health department has
ordered discontinuance of the use for
such purpose of any substance deleteri-
Gus to health. This is very mild ac-
ton to take. In most states the food
adulteration laws would prohibit such
coloring even with harmless sub
stances. The manifest interest is to
defraud. It is done to make the coffee
look like better grade and sell for
more than it is worth. The mixture
of -four with yeast powder or plaster
of paris with -four may not be injurious
to health, but it is punishable under the
adulteration laws. These laws are too
seldom enforced. The violation of
them has been tolerated so long that it
has become respectable. It requires
considerable skill and attention to de-
tail to secure the evidence required to
sustain case in court, and these quail
ties are not often at the disposal of
health department.. It is only when
some great infamy like the bogus but
ter business has forced itself upon the
whole community that the health Of
fcers and the courts find it out and
give it a full degree of attic ntion.

HEALTH ON ocEAN STEAMERS,

The magnificent palaces which float
upon the Atlantic are worth 100000
each or more, and have every conven-
fence which money can provide, and
yet, according to the Medical Society
of the County of New York-the most
influential organization of it's kind in
America the medical and sanitary ad-
ministration of ocean steamships is un-
reliable and often far from satisfactory,
whereby many lives are needlessly sacri-
feed and foreign infection is freely JIM
ported to this country. Congress can
not afford to disregard the warming
which is thus addressed to it, and legis-
lation must be provided to insure prop
er sanitary administration at sea, and
especially to prevent epidemic invasion
through the steerage. The most enter
prising steamship managers will need
nothing more than the hint already
given to induce them to perfect sani-
arrangements of their vessels, but
the law must compel conformity to san
itary science on the part of managers
who are too obtuse to voluntarily adopt
the suggestions of the medical men of
New York.

SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING.

It appears that since the commence
ment of the present year the sum of
$55, 100000 has been invested in South
ern manufacturing and mining enter
prises. Considerable of this capital has
been furnished by the North, and while
various industries have been set on foot
or aided, the heaviest investments have
been those of coal mining and iron
manufacturing companies. The states
that have been benefited most by this
investment of capital are Alabama, Ken
lucky, Virginia and Texas. States like
Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland and
North Carolina have also reaped SUBJ
stantial benefits. The following, &C.
cording to the Baltimore Manufacture
ers' Record, are the investments made
since January 1, 1884:

They Did Not Appreciate it.
From the Musical World.


With several musical friends Sig.
Ostinelh was out on little tour giving
musical entertainments. They accepted
an invitation to visit village, where
they were told they would find people
of taste and education who would ap-
preciate their performance and patron
ize them well. They went, but found
small audience. Not disheartened,
they determined to win golden applause
by astonishing few, if nothing more
All their efforts seemed in vain, Not a
clap nor a stamp of applause was elicit
ed, but all were as still and demure as
if at funeral or a Quaker meeting.
At last Ostinelli said: "Wait leetle, I
give dem de grand solo," He presented
himself before them violin in hand, ex-
pecting to receive that applause which
always greeted his appearance on such
occasions. He fourished his bow and
ran his fingers with astonishing velocity
all over the finger board. He sawed and
sawed away, getting more and more ex-
cited, until he played as if the very
genius of inspiration had settled upon
him. He fairly outdid himself in the
opinion of his musical companions. But
it was all to no purpose-the audience
sat unmoved and silent, as if waiting
for something, not receiving. The fan
tasia which he was playing ended with
an exquisite finale. He bowed and
bowed, and was moving off the stage
when one of the audience called out j:
"Look a-here, meow, you've been tuning
your darned old fiddle about long
enough; can't you give us a tune
neoWP"

THE POSTAL NOTE.

The new government postal note, soon
to be issued, is of slate-black color.
The design is the result OF the deter
mination of the government to devise a
note which could not be raised" from
the amount for which it was issued.
This point is secured by the removal of
the vertical row of figures signifying
dollars in the old note. and the substi-
tuition of a set of coupons at the left of
the notes, each representing dollar.
For a note of ST 25 the dimes and cents
will be punched III the new note from
rows of figures situated as in the old
note, and the dollars will be denoted by
tearing off three coupons and leaving
one joined to the note.

Old Texas TaVernS.
From the Galveston News. ]

John M. Hensley, one Of the old three
hundred, furnishes the Lampasas Dis
patch with description of the first no.
tel in San Felipe, established in May,
1924, by Col. "Buck" Pettus: ''It was
large structure, built of cottonwood
logs, say II inches in diameter, hewn
down to 6 inches, and two stories high.
The upper story was foored with slabs
split off the cottonwood trees; the first
or lower story had no floor, the shutters
were made of split timber of enormous
thickness, and hung with wooden
hinges, opened outside and fastened in
side by chain passed through an au-
ger hole in log and knot tied in the
chain on the inside, which made it not
only a frst-class hotel but fort1fca-
ton and place of safety against the
marauding Indians. The fare general
" consisted of barbacued beef with
corn bread the corn beaten IN a NOR
tar into meal, and sifted out with a
buckskin sieve-and coffee without milk
or sugar." This is fair type of Texas
taverns for ten or fifteen years after
that named. Hundreds of persons still
living remember Col. Pettus, genial
and jovial boniface, who loved all jokes,
except that put upon him by the peo-
pie of Austin, in 1849, when he under
took to execute an order from Presi-
dent Houston for the removal of the
archives of the republic to Washington,
on the Brazos, and the Austinians shaved
the tail of his horses and defeaoed the
object of his mission. The old man
never could see the point of that joke.
