NOT NECESSARY TO DROWN.

Many persons have wondered
that all animals seem to possess an
instructive knowledge of swim.
ming, and that man alono lacks
this gift. 1t is not necessary that
a person knowing nothing of the
art OF swimming should drown, if
he will depend upon tho powers
for selt-preservation with which
nature has endowed him. When
one of the inferior animals takes
the water, falls or Is thrown in, 1t
instantly begins to walk as it does
when out of water. But when q
man who cannot "swim" gets into
tho water he makes . few spas
modic struggles, throws up his
arms and browns. Tho brute, on
the other hand, trsads water, re-
mains on the surface, and is Writ
ualIy insubmerglble. In order,
then, to escape drowning, it is nee
ossary to do as the brute does, and
that is tread or walk water. The
brute has no advantage as to his
relative weight in respect to the
water over man, and yet the man
perishesw bilo tho brute lives.
Nevertheless, any man, any woman
any child, who can walk on the
land may also walk in the water
Just as readily as the ANIMAL does,
and that without any prior instruc-
tion OF drilling whatever. Throw
dog in the water and no troads
Cor walks) tho water instantly.
The brute, indeed, walks tho water

GREEN'S BRIGADE REUNION.

Mayor Fulton give the Green
Brigade boys the "grand shake"
on the occasion of their reunion
at Galveston, August 9th. When
we take into consideration the flat
tering and pressing invitation ex-
tended to tho Brigade by Mayor
R. L. Fulton, (who was present.
at Fort Worth last year and the
generous acceptance of the invita-
ton by the association, 1t was but
natural that they should expect
some recognition AT his hands upon
that occasion. But it seems they
were doomed to disappointment.
Mayor Fulton did not show up at
all. He was posing as a clark
horse" candidate for governor and
had no time TO fritteF away in 9th
er recognizing or entertaining in
vlted guests. Not even q hall was
secured for holding the Brigade
meeting until Sunday afternoon,
and we have no record of Mayor
FuIton's having had anything to
do with securing the hall.
We are not disposed 10 censure
the good people of Galveston for
this "niggardly treatment" of a
gallant command, many of whom
are leading and influential citizens
of our state, because they had
their hands full in attending to
their several duties IN connection
with the interstate. drill. The
fault lies alone with Capt. R. l..
Fulton, lord mayor of Galveston,
who is entitled to the belt as Fthe
great promiscr." Captain you
will live long in the memory OF
the Brigade, and your shadow will
never grow greater IN their esti-
nation. Tata!

THE REPUBLICAN CONEEN
TON.

Tho Republican State conven-
ton at Waco adjourned on Thurs
day having nominated full state
ticket as follows: DR.. A. NJ. Coch-
ran, of Dallas, for governor; Judge
Lock McDanIels, of Crimes, lieut.
ant governor; W. X. Burkhart, OF
Fort Bend, associate justice SUI
preme court; Frank Clcaves, of
Cook, for treasurer; A. Zadeck, of
Navarro, for commissioner of the
general land office; II. C. Cline, of
Harris, for superintendent of cdu-
cation; ]. NJ. Brown, of Tarrant,
for comptroller. A platform of
generalitics, including a liberal al
lowance of buncomb TO the laborer,
was adopted. The convention par
took largely of the nature of a cir
Gus and Notwithstanding the fact
that very large proportion of the
delegates were colored men, not a
single negro was honored with a
position on the state ticket. The
Republican party Is notorious for
its love of the negro, but it would
appear that it loves him solely for
his votes and beyond this it has no
use for him. The colored dele
gates, however,. by forco of num-
bers, succeeded IN having N. W.
Quincy, colored, of Galveston,
nominated for q member of the
national committee. J. II. Rector,
of Travis, was nominated for chair
man of the state executive commit
tee. The nominees taken as n
whole are very respectable body
of men and as citizens they all
stand we'll in the respective CON-
munIties in which they reside. The
Texas Republicans have nothing
to be ashamed of IN their state
ticket and it ought and doubtless
will get the full party strength.
The Prohibitionlsts will soon put
a ticket in the field and thus men
of all shades of political opinion
will have ample opportunity of
aligning themselves with the party
of their choice. In many counties,
however, party politics will have
no bearing on the local elections.
In this county party politics will
be eliminated in the race for coun-
ty offices while all will be free to
vote as they please for state Off

THE SCHOOL GRADUATE.

Now watch this young strut of q
youth rs he comes forward with
his essay on Rome. How full of
lite and proud grace is his step.
How confident is he of the fact that
he is about to electrify the world
with his marvellous store of know
ledge of ancient history. How bad
he scoms to feel because, in his
opinion, the governments of the
nineteenth century arc unworthy
to be compared with the govern
ments of ancient Rome and Greece.
In the eyes of this knowing youth,
the steam engine, electricity and
tho press are nothing compared
with the ordinary palaces and
monuments built by the miserable
slaves of ancient times. If this
youth had his way how he would
revolutionizo affairs. How he
would do away with somo of the
prosY things of to-day and in re-
turn restore to us the grandeur of
old Rome and Greece. But the
youth has his own way but for n
brief moment, and therefore he
breaks loose for all that's out. To-
morrow he goes out into tho great
big world and gets lost. To-day
he is too big for oven the fine
clothes he wears. Tomorrow his
clothes will prove too much for
him, therefore he will leave a part
of them in the care of an uncle.
We may never hear of him again
and he may turn up some day as a
reformed drunkard, and again cleo
trIfy us with his eloquence. But
the chances are that we arc safe,
that this ambitious youth will, on
leaving the stage to-day, bo in
weighed into some large store
where in future he can devote his
powers of oratory to dry goods
boxes, and on his follow-workcrs
in the basemcnt.-lslcr, the Bohe-
milan, in Arkansaw Traveller.
