Fort Duncan for Rent.


This property was selected by the
United States government for Its altitude
and healthy locality. 1t commands
view Of Eagle Pass, Piedras Negras, the
Rio Grande and surrounding country.
There are about 10 houses which are
built in systematic order. They are all
substantial, of brick, rock and adobe.
The walls are of extraordinary thick
ness, which are so well adapted for heat
and cold. The ventilation Is perfect In
each building, and large cisterns are
connected with a few of them. The
stables are large and convenient and en-
closed. The arrangement and capacity
of some of the houses render them suit
able for boarding and sanitary purposes.
The soil is sandy: the walks and avenues
are graveled and well grassed. These
are situated In the limits, and just far
enough fro the bustling, busy portion
of Eagle Pass, which is well known as
an enterprsing and progressive town.
Health seekers, and particularly those
afflicted with pulmonary diseases, would
do well to look for homes like these,
where the pure dry air Is SO invigorating
and the pleasant nights and quiet days
are so necessary to the invalid. The
houses can be rented separately at rea-
s0nable, low and satisfactory prices, or
the whole property may be leased.

Foreign Drummers.

Foreign drummers have recently
made their appearance in this coun.
try, and,.it is said, are rapidly in
creasing in number. They come
chiefly from England and France.
High as our tariff on foreign goods is'
it does not exclude. them entirely.
We import large amounts of silk,
linen, wooden and -worsted goods,
cloths and hosiery, and itls these ar
ticles the foreign drummers come to
solicit orders'for Many English and
French manufacturers make a specl-
atty of supplying the American mar
kets with. certain kinds Of fabrics.
Heretofore they have sold to New
York, and the merchants of that
city have enjoyed the monopoly of
supplying the rest of the country ;
but the appearance of foreign drum
mers in western cities means that the
foreign manufacturers are hereafter
to avoid the agency Of New York and
deal directly with their Amerlcal
customers. The latter have the nd.
vantage of about 10 per cent. reduc-
ton in prices. The New York i'm
porteys will not relish the new method
of doing business, but will be power
less to arrest it.-& Louis Repub-

A Mystery of The Sea.
Een York Truth.


The Hon. Francis George hay, who
died last week of typhoid fever. was
a man of somewhat varied experience
Of llfe., He served before the mast
for three years in the navy, and at
the time Of hiH death was in the
service Of the British India steam
navigation company. oneD at least,
of his adventures is worth recording
Oae of the company's steamers was a
few miles off Alden. Mr.. Hay was
in command of the watch about 4
a. M, when he fancied he noticed a
boat drift by and that he heard a
faint scream. he at once stopped
the vessel, lowered boat and pro
ceeded to search for the castaway.
he was rewarded by discovering the
dead body of a lady and a living
child tied together in a boat, which
was half full of water. The child
he adopted, and she is now in the
charge of his family, Oddly enough,
he was never able to discover her birth
or parentage, or even the name Of the
vessel on which she had been pas
senger. This sounds like q chapter
from sensational romance, but it ia
true, Notwithstanding.

Knocking Evolution Out.

The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, in
the Baptist ministers weekly meeting
of Murray street, yesterday. answered
the question rs there such a thing

long. Thslectprer and the ministers
applause: made SO much noise that
business men in that neighbarhood

Round Ian the best instruments
used by scientific men, Mr.. Talmage
said, belong to Christian institutions.
Morse, inventor ofthe telegraph, was
a Christian; Cyrus w. Field, who
swung, a cable under the Atlantic,
was Christian; James Y. Simpson,
of Edinbrg; discoverer Of at@sthesia,
was a Christian.
Round 2.-Mr. Talmage set side
by side the Bible account and the
scientific hypotheses of the origin of
the human race, and derived so much
amusement from the contrast that the
walls almost shook with laughter and
applause. How would it sound, he
asked, if, instead CT the geuealogy Of
man in the Bible, wo should read
that a mushroom begat tadpole, a
tadpole begat a pollywog, pollywog

On the shining heights he had sought so
long,
He stood alone at the break of day;
Tho wind about him blew fierce and
strong,
And the wide, waste land beneath him
lay; sN
He could see the arch of the purple sky.
And the distant sea-line, thin and
white;
And hear, as the swift gale hurried by,
The low, weird voice Of the feeting
night.
He could seethe way that his feet had
trod,3 q
The wreck and ruin his hand had
made, ,.
The clotted blood on the withered sod,
The cold, white faces amid the shade; {;
The land was his by the victor's right,
He had swept the people before his
wrath,
And conquered abby his keen swords
might,
And marked his course by lurid
path. ..aft-
His word was law in the PROSTATE
world,
Where kings lay prone in their CALLING
chains; ns
He laughed when-the bolts of Jove were
hurled
Along the silence of fraitless plains;
Theboastful trumpets for him were loud,
And servile minions bent to his feet ;
But he passed; alone through the cring-
ing crowd,
And no redlips for his kiss grew sweet.
And what did this give for the weary
years?
Lo, nothing at all but sounding
name,
= And harvest Of woe and bitter tears,
For the loss of1oye is the gift of fame
All, few are the good things life can
hold;
And the one that shines all others
above
Is neither fame nor wealth of gold,
But the sweetness and joy of perfect
love.

cepted theory Of the survival of the

Rol1a4zFihslly. there has been
no natural progress. Where can we
find such horses nowadays as Job
describes? Men once grew 10 feet
high; now they reach to g. feet. once
they lived to be from 200 to 900
years old, now 80 years. The truth
is, natural evolution is downward in
tendency. The Tombs Of New York,
Moyamensing prison IN London, and
the Cowgate in Edinburgh are fes
tering carbuncles on the face and
neck of evolution. When you can
evolve an oratorio out Of buzz saw
you can evolve something good out Of
the natural tendencies in human life,
Evolution is an old heather corpse
set up in morgue, and Spencer and
Huxley are trying to galvaniSs it.
