Ought to Satisfy,

From the Greenville (Hunt Coz Independent
The honor of being representative
in congress with a light and easy duty
at a salary of 800 per week, ought to
satisfy men without entering the
arena and struggling like pothouse
politicians for the additional honors
of a delegate to the national conven-
tion.-Austin Statesman.
You squeezed the oil of the subject
then, Brother STATESMAN. We be-
lieve in taking men from the state,
aside from the Washington slate and
machine,

Letter from AssembIyman Hoag.
ASSEMBLY CHAMBER, STATE OF N. Y.
ATPANV Dri1 T2 1892

ASSEMBLY CHAMBER, STATE OF n. Y.
ALBANY, April Ii, 1883.
During my temporary residence
here the past winter, l contracted a
severe cold, which, for time, confined
me to my room and rendered me unfit
to attend to my duties. l not only
suffered all the inconvenience which
usually attend heavy cold, but was
afflicted with tightness of the chest,
accompanied with a severe pain which
made breathing difficult and rest i'm
possible. / tried the usual remedies
cough drops, cough cordials, &C., but
received no substantial relief until I
applied Allcock's Porous Plasters on
my back and chest. These / put on
when retiring, and was delighted to
find myself much better the next
morning. In two days 1 was well.
This, and the experience l have had
with Allcock's Plasters in my family
have convinced me that for coughs,
colds, sprains, bruises, rheumatism
and local pains, Allcock's Porous
Plasters are the quickest and most eff
fective remedy extant.

A Gambling House For Women.

Special Cable Telegram.
LONDON, March ga sensation
was caused in Paris to-day by the dis
covery Of private gambling house
located almost under the shadow of
the Bourse, and patroniZed entirely by
ladies, or at least that sort of ladies
who swarm towards the close of bust
ness hours in the network of narrow
streets that surrounds the Bourse.
The place was denounced to the police
by some of it's fair but frail victims.
and when the descent was made,
twenty-SiX women were found play
ing Laccarat. There was great con-
sternation among them at the sudden
appearance of the police, but only the
proprietor was arrested, the custom
ers being let off with the fright they
had received as their only punish
ment.

For regular well grown downright
Imagination, commend US to the Post
everytime. On Sunday it had the en-
tire staff of the Cincinnati Enquirer
busy all day collatlng the events of
the riot for its Monday morning edi-
ton. This was a fearful waste of
money, as the same facts came along
very naturally and very properly col
lated by the associated press reporter.
The energy and enterprise exhibited by
the Post is terrible. 1t will break
trace shortly if it is not careful.

Gen. Mackensie.s Fianeee.

From Late San Antonio Letter
1t probably known to but few that
Mackenzie was to have been married
within few months when his mind
failed him. His betrothed is a Mrs.
Sharp, of San Antonio, a lady to whom
he was devotedly attached. Some of
his friends think that the emotions in
view of this prospective happiness
were too much for the soldier. and
when the whole story is told there is
a probability about this theory. Years
ago Mackenzie was stationep
here for short time and lived in the
family of Mrs. Tunstal, who is the
mother of Mrs. Sharp. The young
girl, just maturing into wOmanhOOd,
was a great favorite with the young
officer, and there grew up between
them great friendship, amounting to
a passion on the part Of the then lieu
tenant, his friends say. The lady was
of fine family: Mackenzie had his stars
to win. They drifted apart, Miss Tun-
stall became Mrs Sharp, and the ex-
| element of border warfare helped re-
lieved the tension on the rising Of
ficer's heart-strings. A few months
ago Mackenzie came back here,
no longer subordinate, but
to take General 0rd's place.
Frontier fighting was a thing
of the past, and before the officer was
the last half of a lifetime of garrison
quiet and ease. He came here to find
Mrs. Sharp widow, and the old feel
ing revived with increased strength.
1t was not long before Mackenzie
learned that his ardent passion was
returned. The course of courtshIl
ran smooth and even as the cement
promenade around the parade ground
The day had been set for the nup-
tials. But the cup of happiness
was too full. The strain on heart and
mind had been a severe one through
all the lonely years and the camp hard
ships. The relief and the rebound
were too much. His friends say the
General seemed to let go all restraint
with the sudden change in his fort
unes. Stronger grew the deliriun
and the excuses until all became
alarmed, and finally the last incident
made plain that the asylum claimed

A Talented Voice.

From the Houston DAILY Age.
The Galveston News has discovered
one Office that j. w. Booth does not
want. 1t is the craftsmanship of the
state democratic executive committee.
The circumstance is easily explained.
Booths voice is his best talent, and a
talented voice finds poor field to dis
play itself in the quiet proceedings of
an executive committee
