Partisan "yVakers-Up."
[San Francisco Chronicle. |

Among the curious callings in Paris
is that of the "wakers-up." The walkers
up are generally old men, and winter
is their best season. The reveilleur, as
he is called, starts out between 3 and
o'clock in the morning, taking their
way through the suburbs adjoining the
fortifcation mostly inhabited by me-
chanirs and laborers. He awakes
them by uttering loud whoop or cry,
and waits before house to ascertain
that it has been heard. Every work
man pays him l cent daily for his
trouble.
DR.. Foote'S Monthly: Don't fill the
cash with SCOT, sugar, or anything else
to arrest the hemorrhage when you cut
yourself, but bring the parts together
with strips of adhesive plaster.

A
LINCOLN UNDER FIRE.
An Incident of the Affair at F"r'
stevens. Near vyashingtOn's suburb
of RciDhtWOOd.

of BrightwOod.
Lieut. Darle Chandler.
The night closed in, and the next
morning it was discovered that Gen.
Early had moved off in the direction of
the Potomac, at Conrad's Ferry, where
he crossed without molestation into
Virginia. The battle of Fort Stevens
was over, and the Washington authori-
ties and citizens once more breathed
with freedom.
Just before Gen. Wheaton made his
charge, President Lincoln, ac-
-companied by his wife and several
prominent officials, came on the ground
in carriage without his escort, having
lost that glittering bauble somewhere
on the road Seeing Gen. Wright, he
at once extended his hand, saying:
General, I'm very glad to see you.
This looks as though you were going to
do something"
"Mr. President" said the general,
pointing toward Fort Stevens, eff you'll
Just come along down there with me,
I'll show you one of the prettiest little
fights you could wish to see."
No sooner were the words out of nv
mouth remarked Gen. Wright in
speaking of the matter afterward to the
writer, than I deeply regretted having
uttered them. I fully recognized the
fact that the presidents life was far too
fvsss>la5 lie to be brought into danger by
asg careless wori is OF mine. But it was
too late. He not eanly accepted my il
vitation, but insisted on accompanying
me, Notwithstanding all 1 could say to
prevent him. He sent his wife back
and when I mounted the parapet there
he was beside me, looking out upon the
scene with great deal of interest. The
enemy's sharpshooters were firing pretty
closely, and explained to him that the
place was entirely too dangerous for
him.
"'It is not more dangerous for me
than it is for you, he replied coolly.
"'But it is my duty to be here, while
it is not your duty to expose yourself.
Your position requires this, and par
ticularly request you to remember it.
"Just then sharpshooter' bullet
struck a surgeon who was standing
near the president, and became really
alarmed for his safety, and I have no
doubt was little excited as I said
firmly:
"'Mr. President, you must really get
down from this exposed position; ] cam
not allow you to remain here longer,
and. if you refuse, I shall deem it my
duty to have you removed under guard
suppose the absurdity of my threat
ening to put the president of the United
States under arrest amused him, for he
smiled, looked at me quizzicallv, and
got down behind the parapet, where l
provided him with an ammunition-bo
for seat. But he wouldn't sit still
minnie at time, and was constantly
stretching up his long form to see what
half of himself to danger, in spite OF
all 1 could do; and thus he continued
to bob up and down until the action
was over. when he cheered Justify along
with the rest, and, bidding us good
night, got into his carriage and rode
away home"

gainesville, April - Notwithstand-

II IL ensy to discern that Gainesville Is |
n favored spot. The business portion
OF town is built up with substantial
brick buildings, and the handsome
square IL adorned with a splendid rock
co,rt-house. The streets are dry and
smooth and the residences are taste
fully built, showing ut once the wealth
of their owners and charming choice
of architectural design. Many of the
residents are engaged in cattle busl-
ness, in fact, this may be termed
lruthfuly the home Of the cattle kings
of Texas. The solidity and wealth OF
| these gentlemen would startle some OF
| the denizens of towns of much greater
prctensions. While the business por.
ton of the city is compactly
built, the residence portion
is somewhat scattering. The country
contiguous to the court house abounds
in beautiful hills, with gentle slopes
leading to their submits, and UPON
these have the wealthy stockmen
erected their handsome homes. 1t
would surprise our Northern friends
to see so much refinement could be
arts and sciences 80 mucu appreciated,
and their products 30 much sought
but these gentlemen living in true
baronial maguifcence scatter their
p wealth with barOnial muniiicence.

Power Of tho Exeonhye Committed.


When the state convention meets at
Houston there will be music In the air
over some of those rules and regula-
tions framed Ivy the executive commit
tee at Waco for the government of the
party. The politicians may say the
rules are just and WISE but the COM
mon people, who want u fair deal
every time are going to rebel. And
the press will be certain to ride with
the masses. The San Antonio Times
and several other papers have already
jumped on rule Is, which reads as fol-
lows:
When any county sends two contrasting
delegations 10 the state convention the exec
utlvo committee OF The state shall determine
| which delegation is entitled to be seated
and shall make their report TO the state con
vcntlon as soon M a temporary organization
\ is effected and the committee on credentlal
shall be governed by such report.
IL is not difficult or pleasant to in
agine the complications aud bickeI
ings possible under this rule. 1t wi
be urged that 1t is yesting an amour
of discretion in the executive commi
tee which it has no right to exercis
|. And some matter-of.fa ct Democrat wi
be sure TO ask: III the executive con
:, mittee is to do the deciding for Il
committee on credentials, why ha
the latter committee? 1t will be
c. useless appendage to the convention

Gladstone's Grand Measure.

The extension of franchise bill,
which is now the most important
measure, of domestic nature, at least,
that the Gladstone ministry has in
hand, has reache ed its second reading
In the house of commons, The pre-
nier as when the bill was introduced,
made powerful speech in support Of
the measure. And to show how much
of Republicanism there Is, after all,
underlying the nlonarchial symbol
ism which exists In Great Britain, 1t
is noteworthy that Mr.. Gladstone's
chief Argument was: at is good
thing for the state that the largest
number of capable citizens shall pos
sess the frauehise.n The vote, ON the
second reading, shows that the meas.
ure has gained strength, for it passed
by vote Of 800 TO 30. This indicates
its final passage, beyond any reasona
BILE doubt. And there will ensue one
of those episodes, peculiar to Grea
Britain, but which serve to illustrat,
how real aud tangible Is the represen
J tative principle there. The house o
i lords, unless it reverses its trsditionn
policy, will oppose and not pass In
