OTIS D. BARRETT and Miss MARY E.
PHILLIPS, all of Mobiles county.
We hear golden opinions expressed
of the sermons OF the new Congrega-
tional minister, Mr.. Henderson. This
comes wholly from outside disinterest-
ed parties, and we judge that he must
be man of considerable power.
We were in error last week in saying
that Miss Puskasllell had been sent to
the asylum. She was examined by the
physicians but was not found to be in
sane.

Majority for License,

The ADVANCE said last week, 1--WE
believe that a large majority of the 70
tiers are satisfied that high license
works better than free whisky or pro-
hibition." We were not mistaken as
the result shows.
A majority Of q is not very large
one but when the facts are known it
will be seen to be a notable triumph
For weeks and even months the prehi-
bltionists have been at work Though
their temperance societies, pulling eve
ry string and pressing women and chill
dren into it to try and carry the spring
election. Kephsrt has been at work on
his churcl. trying to turn it into a po-
litical machine to the same end.
On the other hand, the license people
did not lift finger until last Saturday
night when they nominated ticket
If they had worked as diligently us the
anti-license element the victory would
have been much greater.
Another factor which worked il, ia
vor of the License ticket was the fact
that six out Of the niue on tho pvohib'
ton ticket were taken from one church,
the Methodist, and the impression was
unmistakable that KeV!part was trying
to put adherents Of his church in con-
tro! of the village.

Tom Paschal is, or rather was, a San
Antonio boy. about twenty-five or thirty
years ago. lie Is now district Judge OF
one OF the judicial districts of Western
Texas. He is the sou of the late Judge
j. A. Paschai, and nephew of Hon. G.
W. Paschal, the only man~who was able
to digest the laws of Texas-so it will
be seen that Judge Tom Paschal comes
by his Judicial mind honestly. In
personal appearance, he bears con-
siderable resemblance to Captain Ben
Thompson, oil Austin, whose name may
be familiar to some of our readers in
connection with the violent death of
prominent San Antonian named Jack
Harris.
Not long since, Judge Paschal was
travelling, per stage. with his family
over his district. He had paid for
sufficient number of seats to accommo.
date his family, but the energetic stage
agent had crowded IN few more, and
the result was that Judge Paschal had
to make kindergarten of himself for
about forty miles. A father may cling
to his children through thick and thin,
but when his children cling to him for
forty miles, he wishes he had never been
born.
When the stage reached It's destina-
ton, Judge Paschal hunted up the
agent at that end of the line, and
made few iudicious remarks about the
management OF that particular stage
line,
AS general thing, stage agents are
not remarkable for having their tenpers
under control, but this one was an ex.
ception. He received the rebuke o.
Judge Paschal with a degree of humil.
ity that was positively phenomenal. He
said:
Captain, hope you will overlook
1t this time, and next time you come
over the line you shall have stage al
to yourself, and 1t shan't cost you {
cent"
Alter the interview was over, the stag,
agent said to friend:
''lf any other fellow but Captain Bel
Thompson had talked to me that way,
would have made it hot for him."
"Why, you confounded fool; that wa
not Ben Thompson, that was Judg
PaschaI."
WHAT gasped the stage agent.
81 say that was Judge Paschal
He can't hit a barn door with
pistol if he were to shoot at it for
week.
"You say tina galoot was only a mis-
cradle iudge?"
That's ALL"
''And here 1 have taken sass from
iudZel lam disgraced man If dor
find him."
The stage agent put on his pistol, an
went over TO the hotel to demand a
apology, but Judge Paschal had lu
lett on the train. Ii the agent had fouI

mud, when the interview took place,

suaded he was talking to Ben Thoml
son, whose skill as marksman is Gel
brated all over the country.

At midnight about fifty dogs of all
sizes and description met on Warren
street, Norwich, Conn, an aristocratic
and retired Quarter, and joined in afree
fight. The contest is described by
persons who were awakened as terrific.
The street was blocked with the mass
of wriUhing forms. No order of battle
was observed, all pitching in where
there was Glance to bite. Up and
down the sidewalks and roadbed the
battle ragged for about an hour. Many
ladies who looked from their chamber
windows believed at first that the com
bat was between wolvesand were pros
trated with fright several being still
indlsposed on account Of the shock Il
their nerves. After the battle, whel
the horde had withdrawn, many limpinI
from the field, several neighbOrs ven
tured out of their houses. They fOunt
one dog dead OH the sidewalk. 1t wa
handsome shepherd belonging to B.
Mead. 1t was a favorite with til
ladies on account of its beauty an
gentleness.

KEEPING APPLES IN WINTER. Ii
one thing to raise fair, sound winter sp-
pies OF the best varieties, and quite an
other 10 keep them so that they will
come out In April as crisp and tooth
some as in mil-wintsr. And it Is not
too late to attend to those still kept in
the cellar elsewhere. To be sure Of
soundness, with no worm inside OF
blotch upon the skin, is a prime neces-
slty for good and long preservation. A
fruit room of course will keep them
we'll, other condition being all right, but
the average farmer who sold all his sur
plus apples in autumn, and only wants
a few barrels for his dessert and even
ing callers, has no suitable place but
his cellar, and his handiest vessel is the
secondhand barrel. Let the barrel
then be sound, with two good heads
and perfectly olean-nothing upon the
inside to start rot. At the last assort-
ing remove every detective and bruised
apple for early use, and leave no hole
or crack in the headed barrel. This
helps to preserve an even temperature.
II kept in cellar, let the barrel rest
upon the blge, and not upon the head,
and keep dry. The cellar should have
a door or window, opening easily to
give more or less air, according to the
outer temperature. With this conven-
fence ana thermometer, one can keep
the temperature between thirty-two and
forty degrees, and have fine apples IN
spring Nothing but watching them
faithfully will do it.

Whatever may betide, men have good
cause to rejoice that they bear no part
in that browning bore of all bores known
as the ''formal call" That Is femi-
nine institution. 1t is an invention of
the sex, and the sex groans under its
yoke. Man smokes his Durham in
beatilic peace, whilst the wife and
daughters pay tribute to the formal
call. He hears the soto Uoce prayer that
parties will be out and that the matter
can be dispatched with a card. He
quietly notes the sigh of relief when the
exhausted women return after hours OF
social distress. He observes the tax of
dress incident to the affair, the bad
temper it invokes and the hypocrisy and
total absence of any equivalent in the
way of pleasure for all this slavish ad-
herence to custom, and them dimlY re-
Allies the miraculous felicity of his own
escape from such thraldom, and it may
be takes comfort in the thought that
the whole business falls totally on those
who have made him pay the piper for
countless other freaks and whims of
fashion and caprice, The elasticity of
conscience with which the gentle crea-
lures endeavor to mitigate the infection
Of the formal call by convenient fibs,
furnishes the masculine monster some
amusing food for study, and it may be
doubted whether he would bulge an
inch to abolish the formal call. 1t is dia.

WINDOW ADoRNMENTs. All manner
OF means are adopted to make the win
dows look pretty, and the effect is
sought more for the interior than for
the exterior. Imitation of stained glass
was held out to those unable to indulge
in the real article and the well-known
porcelain square with the picture upon
it, be it ever so pretty, is somewhat
too familiar to us now, and we seek
something else. The latest appears to
be metal frame holding number of
colored glass roundels or bulls-eyes,
and tine interior filed with two sheets
of glass between which is arranged a
grouping Of flowers, tastefully put to-
gether and pressed and shellaoed 80 as
to bring out the color before being
laid betw cen the glasses.

EFFoRTs to check the boom IN Jersey
cattle are proper enough on the part OF
any persons who feel unhappy. Twen-
ty-ive years ago this class of stock had
but lew admirers. They were so small
and inferior that the eye accustomed to
size and the judgment that based value
upon weight alike condemned them.
But against ridIcule and obloquy they

in this country to get tops for such a

in this way.
