between. highwayman who takes
wealth by means of physical force, and
the employer who takes profit by force

We were recently speaking to an Eng
oughly doing California, and much APP
preciated our climate and our scenery.
With regard to our wines, he said that
he had tasted some very good and some
very poor; that he liked the white wines
the best and thought they were better
handled, but, said he, "Tbe price charged
shillings ($l .50) is charged at some hotels
for native wines that should not cost
two" This is a short-sighted policy,
and is greatly against the spread of wine
using, and then he added, ''This is the
only wine making country in the world
where wines are not put down free at
all hotel and restaurant tables in the
grape-growing districts, and most
strange it seems" He was right. Wine
should be put down free on all the hotel
tables in our wine localities. II could be
done for a trifle, and the rotel-keepers
would save money by the less amount OF
tea, coffee, sugar and milk consumed,
and this system would help greatly to
popularize our wines and open up new
markets. Probably these people would
not drink a bottle between them, and
the cos would not be more than about
five cents a head, that is, for a good,
sound, ordinary wine. Higher clasSed
wines could easily be sold at hotels and
restaurants for twenty-five cents a bot
tie and yield a handsome profit to the
vendor. 1t is really time that a stand
was taken by the vineyard men and
at tho prices charged for
what are often very oidinary wines.
The producer does not make the profit,
and the consumer has to pay ior all ar
ticle six times what it is worth.-lClo-

CUCAGO, oct, s.-Ton men employed
in the construction of the new water
tunnel for the village Of Hyde Park,
south II this city, were drowned Ia plain
Wow u the village ut u o'clock this
morning. Thirteen were employed in
the work of sinking q tunnel and con
structiug n new cube at a point In Lake
Michigan u mile from the shore above
The crib. There had been constructed n
platform, about forty feet square, sup
ported by poles hound together by heavy
chains. Upon the platform had been
built a small cabin, in which the men
slept and had their meals, they having
lived there for the past three weeks,
Tho platform was supported by heavy
timhers, which rested IN piles,
About . o'clock tho sea became
50 heavy that portions OF the platform
washed away. The men awoke about
$50 and found spray, with every wave,
washing the side of their hut. They
were not much alarmed, and proceeded
u gGt breakfast, which they succeeded
in eating, The storm continued To in
crease In fury, and unally a great wave
struck the cabin, and carried II fairly
into the boiling sra, and with every man
upon the frail structure. Twelve of the
men succeeded in climbing upon the
huge strinpers and lying face down,
with their arms around the beams
They awaited the arrival Of assistance.
Every momont increased their danger,
aud tho waves, with terrible force, tore
them, one by ono from their anchorage,
until only eight remained.
In the meantime the crew
of the Chicago l~ite-saving station
had been advised Of their situation and
were dispatched to their rescue. They
arrive ut the scene about II o'clock and
when thoy were within throwing dis
lance Il line was made fast by the almost
drowning men to the timbers and WAS
made tight from the boat, but only four
succeeded in making the journey. One
of the men washed oil succeeded with
the aid of n plank in reaching the shore.

Letter From Midland.

MIDLAND, oct. IL Correspondence.
We CHANGED TO meet in making the
rounds to-day Il gentleman from Ohio,
who accompanied the last excursion
party of the Gould system, who inform
us that he had visited the new and grow
ing town Of Midland, on the Lint of the
Texas & Pacific railway. Among other
things the gentleman referred to in
formed us that the stockholders of the
Midland Town Company held q meeting
at Midland yesterday. The meeting
was well attended, and a great deal OF
important business was disposed of. A
Mr.. b. X. Brant, proprietor and editor
of the Butler County Democrat, of Ham
ilton, Ohio, was elected general mana
ger, and will shortly o with his
family, to Midland. Mr.. Brant will
have full charge of the Midland
Town company's business, and those
having an interest in the "new town out
west" have good reason to congratulate
themselves on h selection by the
company of their general manager. The
that the Emigrants house is we'll under
way and will soon be completed; also,
that q new and neat school,
that a young lady from Brown county,
Ohio, has been engaged to teach, and is
nov at Midland. The lady's name ts
Miss Kid, and she can claim the honor
and credit of teaching the first school in
Central, Tom Green county. The rail
road company, we learn, has
erected stock pens at Mid
land, and cattle and sheep are
now being shipped to eastern markets:
From what one can hear and learn of
Midland, the prospects of the town and
county are certainly good. There is a
move or foot to make q new county
and call the same midland" out of Il
portion of Tom Green county, making
Midland the county seat. This
will be a great convenience to
the people of that section, and add much
to this now flourishing town. A large
emigration, from the old states to Texas,
is looked for after h election is over,
and Midland and vicinity will get a
good share of it. So says our friend
from Ohio.

A Down Town Merchant

Having passed several nights dis
turbed by the agonies and cries of a suf-
fering child. and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
was just the article needed, procured a
supply for the child. On reaching home
and a%cquainting his wife with what he
had done, she refused to have it admins
tered to the child, as she was strongly in
favor Of homeopathy. That night the
child passed in suffering, and the parents
without sleep. Returning home the day
following the father found the baby still
worse, and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the deception prac-
ticed upon her, has continued to use the
syrup, and suffering, crying babies and
restless nights have Disappeared. A
single trial Of the syrup never yet failed
TO relieve the baby and overcome the
prejudice of the mother. Sold by all
druggists. 25 cents a bottle.

Col. Harry on Free Grass.

Col. Barry has written a very able let
ter on the free grass question, but too
long to give it entire. Among other
things he says:
"You all claim to be opposed to mo-
nopolies; then why will you cast your
votes for those wanting TO repeal the
law when u repeal in toto would
build up other monopolies out of u
school land, in our state, by the side of
which the Scottish lords pasture of four
counties would not be a decent truck
patch. Have not George Loving, of the
Fort Worth Gazette, and other crafty
enissaries picked and proved upon our
school lands enough? Go Ito Parker,
Palo Pinto, Young and Jack
counties-ask the old settlers
there if Loving did not buy
their cattle at low down figures. in some
instances from agents OF children whose
parents had sacrificed their lives on tho
then frontier, then bankrupted on them
and soon after went TO buying up the
school lands ut 50 cents, and sold the
same to the money lords of England at
20 and SO per acre. We all felt proud OF
his success, and, the buying and selling
was honest trading, yet / think it very
unjust, to say the least of it, for the Ga
zeJte to tag free grass on to the lease law
to induce the people to vote away their
own and their children's substance and
place 1t in the pockets of millionaires,
nnly for the sake OF his getting another

a Farmers Nerve.

Yesterday morning while jacob Fey
Ter, a farmer living on the Washington
pike, about "A mile below Temperance
vile, was out in his field cutting corn,
he was bitten on the second finger of his
left hand by a rattlesnake. The finger
began to swell rapidly, and in order to
his life Nj. Feyler laid the finger
on a rail and grasping his corn knife
brought it down with all his force, sey-
ering the member near tho knuckle.
The action was so prompt that the
poison had no time to permeate his sys-
tied up the wound and walked to his
home near by and sent for a physician.

after the operation, but it is thought he
will soon be able to be about.-lPitts-

Speaking OF foreign countesses abroad
reminds me of Il good story told against
the present Baron Huddleston, whose
notorious. foible is tuft-hunting and
toadying Ito aristocracv. Many years
before he had been raised to the bench.
Huddleston took a trip TO Homburg
with Sergeant Ballantine. While the
latter was watching the play at n of
the tables, a German countess, well
known for her gambling p~ropensities,
sank back fatigued upon his knee with
out apparently being conscious of what
she was doing. In tins attitude she con-
tinued to play, and when she rose ard
departed Ballantine called up Huddles-
ton and said in a dramatic whisper that
could be heard across the rooms: 81
say, Huddleston, what will you give me
for my trousers? A real, live countess
has just been sitting on them." 1t was
many a day before the lawyer forgave
Sergeant Ballantine for his malicious
sarcasm at Homberg.-LThe Rambler.
