Ok THE question of the railroad to the
Gulf, now being agitated in this city, the
Houston Journal seems to be the special
advocate of Galveston. As a disnter-
ested service, the action of the Journal is
no doubt all right, but at the same time
it should not attempt to detract from the
efforts of San Antonio to secure gulf
outlet. 1t Is no doubt true that the
State would be better off by deep water
at Galveston, but so long as that city Is
depending alone on the chances of a
tardy Federal appropriation and sitting
supinely by awaiting that time, 1t is
nothing to the discredlt of San Antonio
that she is trying to better her fortunes
and her business through her own exer-
tions, and 1t is safe to say that the road
to the Gulf from this city, with deep
water ut Arkansas, would proportionately
benefit Texas as much as at Galveston,
and "Grand Gulf Gaten at Aransas
would add as much to the settlement of
the State as ifthe gate were at Galveston.
AT all events San Antonio would prefer
to take her chances of being big city
through the benefits of a connection at
Arkansas, which would be her own,
rather than the equivocal growth that
might come from the same Improvement
at Galveston.

Jusr because Mr.. Hayes drew $780,
600 as salary alleged to belong to Mr..
Tilden, there is now big movement on
hand to nominate the old ticket at the
Democratic convention, and thereby
right the "great wrong Of 1876" in face
of Mr.. Tilden's positive statement that
his public career was forever closed.
After all the talk about what soft thing
the Democratic party had on the cleo
ton this fall, and the great number Of
popular patriots who would sweep the
country like prairie fire, there seems
to be but one man in all these United
States who has the ability to represent
that party as its Presidential leader, and
he is physical wreck.

TIN land policy of the State is pretty
well shown in the statement recently
made by General Robertson in an inter
view, that sin 1874 when the Democrats
took charge of the Government, the
State owned l0O,0O0,000 acres OF public
land Now, the Commissioner says we
have none. At that time we had no big
land syndicates, but now, one-third Of
the l00,0O0,O0O acres has been sold, and
is held by these land monopolists in
from 10000 to 100000 acre tracts.
These sales have been made contrary to
the plain mandates Of the constitution,
which provided for the sale to actual
settlers only, in 100 acre tracts"

Earthquakes and Luminous Paint.

The connection between EARTHQUAKES
and luminous paine would hardly be ap-
parent to any one without explanation
1t nevertheless exists, and the recent
earthquakes in our own country have
served to remind us of its existence. As
matter of fact large consignments of
this paint are sent to those countries
where earthquakes are prevalent. The
use TO which it is put invests it with the
utmost Importance just for the few criti-
cal moments of the shock. In the Philip
pine Islands, where earthquakes are not
uncommon, small metallic plates coated
with luminous paint are so placed about
the premises that at the first warning the
inmates are quickly guided to the door.
and thus to the street. In Manila it is
laid on in patches about the bed -rooms
and staircases, serving as guides for the
door handles and the stairs, night lights
being considered especially dangerous as
likely to set fire to the falling house, and
thus to roast the inmates in their own
homes. 1t follows that those who live in
districts likely to be visited by earth
quakes will do well to adopt this plan,
and to burn no flame lights at night es-
pecially in the case of gas, the pipes for
which might be broken asunder, and the
gas escape and take fire. The gas should
be turned off at the main nightly, and
luminous labels be so placed as to indi-
cate the door handles and other guides
to the main point of egress, which would
enable the residents to find their way out
of their houses in the dark before the
walls perchsnce buried them 1t will be
remembered that at Ischia there was Just
sufficient time between the first shock
of the earthquake and the downfall of
the Grand hotel to permit those who
acted promptly to save their lives. Iron.

tree, and lost myself in vague con lectures
as to the nature of those mysterious in
t1uenccs which sometimes affect our
human perceptions, how or whence we
may not know
This was the secret which the old tree
so long held. And may add that to
this day Cecie knows nothing of it; for.
beside the clergyman who gave Christian
burial to the remains of the poor girl,
no one but ourselves, who made the dis
covery, ever knew the secret. We
thought it best that it should be so.
But observed that Cecie never after
complained of the uneasy influence which
had before so annoyed her. With the
removal of the tree and the burial of the
bones, nature resumed her bright and
joyous sway in the old garden.-.Susan

Making Pearl Buttons.

The Springfield Mass Republican says
that company in that city which makes
pearl buttons is unique among New Eng
land button making industries in that it
uses only simple machinery, depending
mainly on the trained hands and eyes of
its twenty-five or thirty workmen for the
perfection Of its products. The marine
shells from which the mother pearl is
obtained-shells of the pintadina variety,
coming from the East and West Indies,
California, and, in fact, all quarters of the
world-are taken as they come packed,
are rinsed in water. and are then ready
for turning The shell is made up of
the mother of pearl inside, this being of
a creamy or varied coloring and thinner
outer layer of bony texture. The shell
is pierced through a number of times by
a hollow boring tool, fitted to a common
lathe, some dozen of small discs being
the result. Each disc then goes through
three or four or sometimes q half dozen
more operations at the hands of the men
standing in a line at one work bench,
each having a lathe and three.
cornered file, sharpened to suit his
work. The bony part is cut from
the disc and the button shape given
it while revolvcd by the lathe against
the sharp steel held in the workman's
hand no gauge being used. Some of the
buttons are grooved with a few lines on
the face, and a few holes are punched in
each. Part of the buttons are subjected
to mysterious coloring operation in
revolving box, but the best grades are
finished in the natural colors. The pol
ishng is mainly done by hand. The
whole process is very quick. and the
method has the great advantage of being
Immediately adapted to any style of but
ton desired, no change in machinery
being required, but merely fresh adj
justmcnt of flesh and blood. All sizes
of ordinary buttons are turned out as
well as some ''co lar buttons" though no
fancy articles are made. The light-col-
ored material is the most valuable. Fifty
cents a pound is paid for the rough shells,
and the buttons are worth from one to
seven or eight cents each. The store
room contains many bushels of thes1
valuable little things, ready for the fin
ishing touches to fill orders. The use of
pearl buttons has been confined mainly
to mems clothing for five or six years
but the fashion is thought to be tending
toward more general use of them by
wom n. The company has been gradually
increasing its force for some months. The
workmen are mostly imported from
Pennsylvania, and have s1rvcd a long
apprenticeship. They are paid by the
piece. and the better workers make about
50 day, others averaging as low as 81.
