Heroic Caro- for Dread Disease.
IPhiladolphia Times

Tho negroes indulge some very funny
supers,itions about diseases and their
cures. One of the things of which they
have a peculiar horror is the common
difficulty known as elongation of the
palate. When | was practicing as .
newly -fedged student in Virginia an old
negress called on me one evening Her
hair was pulled back from her forehead
and knotted with cord in light bunch
on the crown of her head. She was evi-
IDENTIFY suffering from bad cold.
Mars Doctor she SAID, Use afraid
Tse got fallin' OBJ de palate. I'se done
tied up my har' as hard as can, but it
don't pear to make it no better, an l
'spects mebby need some pills.
| examined her threat and found
nothing the matter but slight infiamma-
ton. Il don't think you need any pills,
auntie, said |. IF you can only get
your hair tied up little closer for day
or two have no doubt your palate will
shorten up all right. She came in again
in few days and told me she was much
better, but her ''ole man" had tied up
her hair so hard that she had to sleep
with her eyes open, "'cause she couldn't
even make a wink"

practically mad this State "grabbed."
North Texas, Central, West and East
leA'.s, were all tributary to its growth,
Lfade and wealth. 1t was lourishing
like the Green Bay trees and without
rivalry. 1t is still d growing and flour
ing city. u still has wealth and enter
prise, but it is no longer without rival
ny. The Dallas drummer, the st.
Louis and New Orleans drummer got
upon the road. The system succeeded.
Instead of the old-fashioned and
expense trips two or four times
year to the nearest seaport or
jobbing town,the country merchant had
the drummer to come to him. 1t was u
most convenient change for the SIN IL
merchant. 1t saved him money, and it
afforded competition. 1t broke down the
old style of doing business, and it scat
tered and divided up the trade Of the
State. Dallas groceries and dry goods,
st. Louis groceries and dry goods, East
ern boots and shoes took the place in a
thousand quarters of Galveston grocer
les and Galveston dry goods and boots
and shoes. Goods came through Calves
ton without being stopped, stocked and
re-handled there.
AS consequence of this new system,
the News says Galveston and other
merchants have lost heavily, and there
fore the News declares that the drum
mer must CO." A convenient and great
business system must 60; thousands OF
men must be turned out of employment;
the trade ofother cities must be crippled
and the old and expensive customs be
re-established simply because Galveston
is being hurt by Galveston drummers
being out-sold, and out-goneraled in the
interior of the State by others.
Well, tho drummer will not 60, noI
down, ut the News bidding. lie has
become a welcome fixture in tho land
and will probably only smile in more
ways than one at this new, and, Of
course, highly disinterested GU and un.
selfish departure of Galveston, through

SEAPORTS WANING IN IMPORT
ANCE

Comments in the New Orleans papers
and those OF other large Southern shin
ping points and Gulf ports, are to the
effect that their cotton trade has fallen
oil wonderfully in the LIST year or two.
What has caused these decreased shin
ments and how again to work up a heavy
business are the vital questions in those
ports now. Interior cities feel tho Same
depressing condition of affairs but moth.
ing like the extent felt in the sea-ports.
Indeed the growth of the interiorcities
is the principal cause for the falling Off
OF the trade In the soa-ports. As was
shown in some remarks Of a prominent
railroad official published yesterday
morning, these cities, like Dallas or At.
lanta or Selma through the perfection of
magnificent railroad sytoms, now stand
about in as favorable position to shin
direct to all parts of the world as do the
gulf or South Atlantic ports. Bills of
lading direct from this point to Liver
pool save expense of two or three hand
hngS of the cotton in New Orleans and
Galveston. A largo lot of cotton was
billed direct to Liverpool from the little
town of Forney east OF Dallas "A short
time since. What use in consigning 10
factors therefore in Galveston when
the cotton can be sold ut the planters

While once only could congresses be,

THERE are many persons Offering for

knowledge runs In channel which bet
Ter fits them for driving drays on the
streets or rounding up cattle on the
prairies than making laws for an empire
like Texas. And yet they are receiving
the support Of good men, 1t may be, for
the same reason the Arkansas man was
sent to Congress. When asked by somo
OF his fellow members IL there was no
one In his district with more intelligence
and education than he possessed, he an
swered there were plenty of them, but
they had no good clothes. This may o
the reason that there are so many men
