the suspension Of silver coinage the
democrats in tho house would rebel
against the administration, In the
mean time tho masses steadily refuse
to got vory much excited over the
matter.
For n long time it has been the
custom of members OF congress and
senators to sign about all petitions
presented to them, it being tacitly
understood ut tho departments that
such endorsement was not tobe given
any weight But President Glove
land has been rather doing tho states
mon by taking them at thoir word.
A western democratic senator called
at tho White House yesterday to press
the appointment of ono of his con-
stituents to IN assistant commissioner
ship,
"Whon I was practicing law" said
the president, II found that an in
strument in writing usually out
weighed an oral statement. You
senators seem to have a habit of sign
ing petitions for candidates, and then
ask verbally for tho appointment OF
others to the very position. l can't
afford to waste time considering such
requests. Half the democratic sena-
tors have signed n petition for the re-
tension of the incumbent of this place,
and your name is on the list. don't
know the man, but he is certainly
well endorsed"
"Oh, no !" said the senator, ~ have
not signed such paper
Whereupon tho president is said to
have produced o petition bearing the
senator's signature as stated.
II never was so fattened out in my
life," remarked the senator when mar
rating the incident to friend. "The
fact is we sign almost anything. but it
has been generally understood thatit
means nothing" L.

A Texas Romance.

ONE CASE WHERE GovERoRs PARpos-
mo PowLRwAs RIoHrLy EMrLoYHp.
Special by Telegraph TO tho Times-star.
Little Rock, Ark, April 6.-Somo
years ago Benjamin. I. Taylor a boy
sixteen years, was convicted Of q
crime in northwestern Arkansas, and
sentenced TO tho ponitentiary for five
years. He had been incarcerated but
few months, when ho succeeded in
escaping.
Evading detection and battling the
pursuit of tho oilicorand bloodhounds
ho at length reached Montcalm, Hill
county, Texas. Here he resolved to
lead different life, and under on as
sumed name secured a respectable
situation. by his honest and indus
trious habits no soon gained tho con-
fdenco andrespoct Of tho community,
and finally married ono OF tho bellies
of the town. The union was happy
one, and Taylor became ono OF tho
best citizens OF tho village.
A month ago while seated by the
freside surrounded by'his family Of
ficers of tho law appeared with the
papers for his arrest as a fugitive.
Taylor quietly submitted to arrest.
He was taken prisoner, handcuffod
and tho following day ho was again
within the walls Of tho Arkansas peni-
tontiary. His devoted wife followed
him to the prison door. Finding no
hope there she turned to the execu-
tive mansion, where she pleaded with
tho governor in behalf OF her husband.
Petitions for Taylor's pardon poured
in from Montcalm and tho governor
issued pardon. A happy husband
and q devoted wife were among the
passengers bound for Texas on last
Wednesday nights train.

Settle the Country.

1t is strange TINT while the state
government is settling some method
of detection into the affairs of the
nomads of the prairies, they do not
conclude to pass laws that will settle
the country and organize civil govern,
ment therein. If the west was settled
and local government instituted, there
would be no need of state "rent
agents." state detectives and state
rangers. A little more attention to
the settlement and little less atten
ton to ways and means for it's gov
ernment would result benefcially to
all concerned, including the school
tax-payers.-Fort Worth Gazette.

SOMETIME
Sometime, when all lifo's lessons have beer

And sun and stars forovermoro have set
The thirgs which our weak Judgment here
have spurned.
The things DER which we grievo with
| lashes wet.
viii flash before us out Of life's dark night
As stars, shine most in deeper tints OF
blue:
And We shall SOC how all Gods plans aro
right,
And how what seemed rcproof was love
most true.
And wo shall SEQ how when We frown md
sigh.
Gods plans 90 on as best for You and mo;
How when we called he needed not our
cry,
Because his wisdom TO the end could sec;
And cen rs prudent parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perchance, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things, because it seemetl
good.
And il sometimes commingling with lifo'f
We find the wormwood, and rebel and
| shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this potion for our lips 10 drink;
And if some friend we love is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach his
face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father so,
But bear your sorrow with obedient grace,
And you shall shortly In w that heightened

And that, sometimes, the sable pail of

If we could push ajar the gntes of life,

We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find koy.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart!
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white

We must not tear the closc-shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if through patient toll we reach the
land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may
rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we shall say that "God know

Peter Caoner,s FaYorite Poem.

Writing of Peter Cooper, in the
December Century, Mrs. Susan N
Carter, says: Ills opinions were
positive, and he stated them definite
| ly and his illustrations were often
simple and even homely. 1t would be
difficult to tell the occasions, so nu-
merous were they, Which drew from
him the poems and little rhymes
which were his solace and delight.
He told them to strangers in their
visits to the school, or often he re-
peated to the pupils verses of which
he was specially fond. Among those
he particularly liked were lines from
'Pope's Essay on Man, which ap.
pealed strongly to him by it's common
sense and the knowledge it showed OF
human nature. I believe he knew the
whole of the poem. but the parts he
oftenest quoted were those that are
nearly as familiar as proverbs:
','Look round our world; behold the chain
of love,
Combining all below and all above
And there is hardly any one famil,
lar with Mr.. Cooper who has not heard
more times than once:
go happiness! our beings end and aim !
Good, pleasure, peace, content whate'er thy
name
That something still whichprompts tn oter,
| nal sigh,
For which we bear to live, or dare to die
."Remember, man. 'the universal cause
Acts not by partial but by general laws"
And makes what happiness we justly call
Subsists not in the good of one, but all
"Health consists with temperance alone,
And peace, o virtue, peace is all thine own.
''Honor and shame from no condition rise
Act well your part, there all the honor lies.
."Know then this trnth (enough for man &c
know,
Virtue alone is happiness below
s'Our own bright prospect to be blest,
Our strongest motive to assist the rest
Of all other parts of this poem, the
last was the one, perhaps, about which
he cared most, and which most close
ly harmonized with his own theory OF
life:
God loves from whole to parts, but human
soul
/ Must rise from individual to the whole.
Self-loye but serves the virtuous mind "a
wake,
! As the small hebble stirs the peaceful lake:
/ The center mov'd, a circle straight succeeds,
Another still, and still another spreads
Friend. parent. neighbor, first it will en-
brace;
His country next, and next all human race
Wide and more wide, tn o'erhowings Of the
mind
Take every creature in every kind;
Earth smiles around, with bOundless bounty
blest.
And heaven beholds its image IN bis
breast"

The Facial Appendages Which Tell o
Character.

The Facial Appendages Which Tell OF
Character.
A very popular writer makes the
broad assertion that the hair and the
ears are true induces of the character
and intelligence of their possessors.
Good, desirable hair, indicating broad
ness and stability of character as well
as profundity and acuteness of intelli-
gence, may be bought; consequently
one rather inclines to dubiousness on
the flowing locks question. But upon
the ear tenet of this new doctrine, one
feels like joining hands with the writer,
and whispering to him: Thou hast
touched the spot" The author of the
theory says man with broad, oyster
shell ears, having the usual number of
wrinkles, may be safely classed as an
individual of rare intellect and estab-
lished character. The number is small
and going out of fashion. Never seek
to be familiar with the man who has fat
ears. A man with such ears needs
practical sympathy. The chances are
he will tell you so. When you see a
man with little, shriveled ears, which
have the appearance of having been
glued upon the sides of his head, do not
Introduce ladies to him as a desirable
man for marriage except he be a mill
lionaire. A long ear plainly indicates
firmness of character. This is pecu-
liarly characteristic of Chicago. The
longer the ear the greater the tirmness.
Well developed ears, neither too long
nor too thick, with no tendency to flop,
and having a shrimp pink colorindicate
a docile creature. There are some
drawbacks to this art of read ng a
mans character by his ears. For in
stance, the high collars worn by our
most popular men have a tendency to
conceal the ear, but beneath will be
found the indicat. on of obstinacy and
vanity, without common sense, though
much eloquence.-N. Y. Herald.
