A Missouri paper says: THE print
ing press has made presidents, killed
poets, furnished bustles for beauty and
polished genius with the sandpaper of
criticism. 1t has made the world get
up to roll-call every morning.; given
the pulpit lungs of iron and a voice of
steel. II has set the price on bushel
of wheat and made the country post
office the glimmering goal Of the rural
scribe. 1t has curtailed the power of
kings, embellished the pantry shelves,
and busted rings; it has exposed
frauds; brought criminals to punish
ment; ii has furnished the female race
with dress patterns; it has converted
bankers into paupers; made wood
sawyers of college presidents; it has
educated the homeless lad, aud robbed
the philosopher of his reason; it smiles
aud kicks and cries and dies-but it
can't be run to suit everybody, and the
editor is . fool that tries it,"

time and distance were relatively of no
Importance. Even now the people
apologize when they pass each other on
the road. 1t has also been alleged that
a really high-bred Virginisn never so
far forgets etiquette as to inquire of a
stranger where he was from, because
the stranger might be forced to ae-
knowledge that he was from some
other State than Virginia, and it was
only charity to spare him this mortify-

We submit that where there is but
one paper published in town, county
or district, every.man should subscribe
for ii, or at least it should be taken by
every family. The local paper con-
tains weekly budget of information
that cannot be obtained through any
other channel. Ii Is possible you may
get more reading matter for less money
from some newspaper published in a
distant city, but ii is not the kind of
matter your lively home paper con-
tains. The home paper gives you all
the marriages, deaths, robberies, balls,
pic-nics, courts, and public meetings of
every kind, and even some of the
births, besides keeping you posted in
regard to the sanitary condition Of the
country and state of the crops, together
with thousand other little items you
could not get in any other way. No
paper. however great and ably edited it
may be, can supply the place of your
local paper. And even il you don't
like it, if the editor be a man you do
not admire, and the politics of the pa
per frequently antsgonistic to your
own, still it gives you all the items of
news with as much accuracy and i'm

harmony with yours on every subject.

Beauties of the Tariff ~ stem.


When an American awakes in the
morning his eyes open upon walls of a
room covered with paper taxed % per
cent, and he steps from his bed taxed
30 per cent, from under blankets taxed
60 per cent, and out on a carpet taxed
"a per cent. He draws aside the win
dow curtains taxed As per cent, and
looks through glass taxed so per cent.
to see how the untaxed weather is look
ing. Throwing off his nightshirt taxed
45 per cent, he puts on his undershirt
and stockings taxed IS per cent, and
his overshirt taxed As per cent, and
then his coat pants and vest, taxed As
per cent. Finding a suspender button
gone, he has ii sewed ON with a needle
taxed 25 per cent, and a spool of thread
taxed 60 per cent. He arranges his
hair with combs and brushes taxed 40

a pocket knife taxed so per cent, or
with scissors taxed As per cent. Feel

a goblet taxed As per cent. He shaves
himself before mirror taxed go per

his spoons As per cent. He smokes
cigar or cigarette taxed from IS to 200
per cent, according to quality, and pre-

fancy picture, but one drawn from the
revenue laws of the United States. The
list Of duties on necessities indispensa-
BILE to daily life might be continued
with hats, boots, shoes, OvercOats, UNI
brellas, gloves, neckties, and so on in
definitely. But this brief and compre-
hensive review of what meets the ordi-
nary citizen in preparing for his daily
work will serve to call public attention
at least to the fact that We are the
wort tax-ridden people on the face of
the globe, but that for the wonderfully
productive capacity of the country and
the vitality of our institutions we could
not endure it.

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an
East India missionary the formula of a
simple vegetable remedy for the speedy
and permanent cure Of consumption,
bronchitis, catarrh, asthma and all
throat and lung affections, also a posi-
tive and radical cure for nervous debil-
ity and all nervous complaints, after
having tested its wonderful curative
powers in thousands of cases, has felt it
his duty to make it known to his suf-
fering fellows. Actuated by this
motive and a desire to relieve human
suffering, / will send free Of charge, to
all who desire it, this recipe, in German

Percentage.

Journal of Commerce.
The reckoning OF percentage, like the
minus sign in Algebra, is a constant
stumbling block to the novice. Even
experienced newspaper writers often
become muddled when thev attempt to
speak of it. The ascending scale is easy
enough: Five added to twenty is gain
of % per cent; given any sum of figures,
the doubling of 1t Is an addition of 100
per cent. But the moment the change
is decreasing calculation, the inexpe-
rienced mathematician betrays himself,
and even the expert is apt to stumble
or 60 astray. An advance from twenty
to twenty-five is an increase of % PER
cent; but the reverse of this, that il, "a
decline from twenty-five to twenty, is
a decrease of only 20 per cent. There
are many persons, otherwise intelli-
gent, who cannot see why the reduc-
ton of, one hundred to fifty is not tie
crease Of 100 per cent, if an advance
from fifty to one hundred Is an increase
of 100 per cent. The other day an arti-
Gle of merchandise which had been
purchased at ten cents a pound was
resold at thirty cents pound, a profit
of 200 per cent; whereupon a writer, in
chronicling the sale, said that at the
beginning Of the recent depression sew
eral invoices of the same class of goods,
which had cost over thirty cents per
pound, had been finally sold at ten
cents per pound, loss of over 200 per
cent. OF course there cannot he a de-
crease or loss of more than 100 per cent,
because this wipes out the whole of the
investment. An advance from ten to
thirty is gain of 200 per cent; decline
from thirty to ten is loss of only So 2-3
per cent. Tile New York Sun prides
itself on the exactness and purity of its
style, and INDUCES in frequent criti-
cisms of its contemporaries; but in its
Thursday mornings description Of the
great orchid sale, it afiirms that "some
of the highest priced plants brought
$50 per cent less than Mrs. Morgan paid
for them" OF course, if nothing was
realized from them, this would only be
100 per cent less than they cost.

Texas Talk.

! WAXAHACHIE, ELLIS COUNTY, Ten, ,
November I 1885. I
] Editor Herald:
AT the request of Davage Williams,
OF your county, and now here on a
/ visit, Il was also born and raised in
Ohio county, | write for the satisfaction
OF his many acquaintance. He is here
and doing well, enjoying himself and
the pleasant Texas weather. No frost
up To this time To kill vegetation. He
was greatly surprised to see the vast
change that had taken place since he
was here in 1870. We had about 5000
inhabitants at that date, and in 1880
we had over -, 900, and now il IN esti-
mated that the population is between
5000 and 10000. So great is his aston
ishment (Williams) to see the amount
of produce brought to market with the
numerous wagons and fine teams both
horses and mules. Ii has required
over half million dollars To handle
the produce that has been brought to
this market in the last sixty days, so
you see that the Empire state il
neither asleep or slumbering, but she il
making rapid strides IN the way Of
population and development, aud i'm
the near future will be one among the
leading States of the Union. Our soil,
climate and productions will vie with
any portion Of the United States. She
has also very rich minerals, and only
awaits for enterprise and capital to
place the products in all the commercial
marts. Ii seems uselesss to say any
thing about stock, as Texas is known
thrc ughout the world as fine stock
country. In speaking of the great
changes, Mr.. Williams says: II find in
place of small village, nice town of
about 800 inhabitants; some elegant
residences, and about fifty stone and
brick business houses, the principal
part of which are occupied, two fine
Touring mills, two custom mills and
three cotton gins, five churches,
graded school, and the colored popula-
ton have their churches and free
schools"
Now, Mr.. Editor, Mr.. Williams
wished me to give you and his many
friends short business statement
First, there has been near ten thousand
bags of cotton shipped from this depot,
and there are four other depots in the
county. There are three firms trading
in grain, cotton seed, &c. The firm of
Wilson 4 Thompson gave me state
ment of their cotton seed trade: they
have shipped 100000 pounds of seed
and about $4,000 pounds nov IN store
awaiting transportation. The other
two firms are doing about the same
amount of business, and there has been
shipped about one hundred aud twenty
five carloads of grain from this depot
this season. There are three weekly
newspapers published in Waxahachie,
also arrangements have been made for |
another railroad to be completed to |
this point by March LIST, 1856.
Yours truly, n. G. DAVIS.

With a bloody brow,

They believed him true,
That his evil course
He would not renew;

But broke his vow
And fell at length

pleasure constantly grows on account OF
the information acquired. When he
receives new stamp, say from Surf
name, Stellaland, or Nowanuggur,
he cannot remain satisfied until
he knows all about the coun-
try and how and when the stamp
was issued. The result is that for
general information concerning any
country or colony issuing stamps the
American small-boy collector is far bet
ter authority than the gazetteer or cncy-
clop@dia. What diamonds are to a
woman rare stamps are to the collector,
while the common stamps are TO him
what ordinary jewels are to her.
Some Of the finest collections made
by young persons have not cost the
owners more than the price Of the al
buns, which range from so cents TO
$3.50 for ordinary purposes. Nearly
every person has some way Of obtain
ing one or more kinds Of rare stamps,
and these can always be exchanged.
An imperial or international album
and q Scott catalogue are all that the
beginner needs. With these, ordinary
luck, and little perseverance, he can
get fine collection in year.
