Between the sheriff's and the Judges
costume there is not much to choose, SO
far as grotesqueness goes. If anything,
the Judges is rather the more absurd.
But then his lordship carries it off bet
ter, partly, no doubt, because he is more
accustomed to it, and partly because he
is paid for wearing it. l know, of course,
the stock argument in favor of these
disguises-the majesty of the law must
De maintained. But why, / wonder,
does the law Qil1e the African chieftain
in the red waistcoat) only care to be ma
jestic by his clothing? A plainly-dressed
policeman captures the criminal, a
plainly-dressed magistrate sends him for
trial, and a plainly-dressed hangman
finishes him.
But at his trial he must have sheriff
with sword and rufies, and a judge in
red cloth, rabbit skin, horsehair, and
black cap. Surely it would be better to
divide these properties" among the vari-
Gus officers of the law employed in the
transaction. Let the policeman $50 much
exposed to the weather) have the rabbit
skin, and the magistrate the red cloth.
The wig alone would be sufficient to
maintain the dignity of the judge, and
the black cap obviously belongs to the
hangman Truth.

The Nreanness of Modern Society.

Society-what is it? 1t has about as
much consideration and sensibility for
individuals as the plowshare has for the
clover. Mean! why it is meanness itself,
selfish, grasping, heartless-if one could
embody society in one great burly bully,
such as it is in the aggregate, one would
want to tie society to post and give So
ciety a sound hogging. The aggregate
of society is always aggregated meaness.

silicious Pebbles with Water Inside.

VIII
NJ. Stanislas Meunier has described
some silicious pebbles which are quite
numerous in the quaternary gravels of
the valley of the Loire, France, that are
remarkable for being hollow and enclos-
ing, together frequently with a loose,
stony nucleus, liquid water. They are
about forty-five millimetres in diameter,
and the water may be heard to strike
against the walls of the cavity when the
stones are shaken. The only way NJ.
Meunier can account for the water get
ting into the pebbles is by its seeping
through the pores, for not sign OF a
crack can be seen with the eye or by the
aid of strong glass.-Boston Budget.

Mr. DOUGLAS CAMERON,

this we shook hands, and he '~addled
briskly out of the room.
Next morning at II o'clock punctually
there was a loud rat-a-tat-tat at the door.
peeped from behind the curtain in my
room, and beheld Mr.. Cameron in very
black new suit of clothes standing on the
steps. While waiting for the door to be
opened, he had taken out a pocket-cOmb
to trim his long whiskers. The house
maid came and handed me his card; her
face was puckered up trying to restrain
a smile. 1 had told her Twas going to
have my first sitter.
well, miss, excuse me, but he is no
beauty. How can he want to have his
picture done with such a red nose? 1t do
aStOnish me-"
He was ushered into my sanctum sane
forum, consecrated to my art studies.
1t was a nice room, with a north light.
There were several good plaster casts
from the antique; autotypes from some
of the best masters hung on the wall.
There were a couple of easeis, an oak
chair ready for my sitter, and in q cor
ner stood my skeleton.
In welcoming Mr.. Cameron my skirt
caught the foot of the skeleton, which
ratified ominously.
What horrible thing, Miss Ward
How can you keep such terrible bag of
bones in your room? 1t makes my flesh

Have we not all a skeleton in the cup

Would you mind, Miss Ward, taking
it away? You may think me foolish,
but this skeleton makes me miserable"
"Oh, of course, 1 Will" And taking it
up in my arms, carried it into the next
room.
Thank you; but rather than that you
should think me troublesome, shall
give you good reason. A few years
ago 1 lost my wife, and then two BARN
ies"-his voice sank as he said this.
Anything that reminds me much of
death is painful, and as you are going to
paint my picture, better not to have a
miserable expression"
| When he talked, watched his face,
and noticed the extreme benevolence of
the expression.

TIE LIGHT has persistently advocated
that some united effort be made by those
who would be benefited by deep water
on Arkansas bar to assist and influence
the appropriation Of sufficient money to
insure permanent depth Of at least 20
feet of water The days, weeks and
months were allow e. to slip past, the
end Of the session of Congress was APP
preaching. and no response was heard
on the part Of those most interested,
until few days ago the people Of Cor
pus Christi, fully alive as to its import
ance, decided to make an effort alone,
and sent to Washington, Mr.. w. +.
CRrulhers, editor Of the Corpus Christi
Caller, on said mission. In referring to
lhis action, the Times instead Of giving
him at least its moral support, and
thereby try to aid in the accomplish
ment of his errand, in the benefit Of
which San Antonio would be full par
ticlpant, has the following mention Of
it. 1t says:
"Mr. w. T. Caruthers, editor OF the
Corpus Christi Caller, has gone to WASH
ingtOn to advocate the interest OF deep
water at Arkansas Pass" 1t is stated
that he goes lat the solicitation OF citi-
Zens.' We presume this means Citi-
Gems Of Corpus Christi. Mr.. Caruthers
has perfect right to 20 TO Washington
as representative Of Corpus Christi,
but we doubt the good policy Of the
movement. There should have been
concert of action with others who are
as much interested in deep water
at Arkansas Pass as Corpus Christi
is. The Times means no reflection on
Mr.. Caruthers' ability, and does not I'M
derrate him, when it says an ADLER repre-
sentative could have been sent to Wash
ingtOn than he. Our representatives in
Congress should have been consulted
about the matter. A gentleman Of more
experience In public affairs, and wider
acquaintance with public men than Mr..
Caruthers has, should have been select
ed. In certain sense, he will be con-
sideTed as q Representative OF South
western Texas. The Times most respect
fully protests against Corpus Christis
selecting, without consultation with
others concerned, such a representa-
tive. without concert OF action We can

The above is fair sample Of the
Times boosted dlsinterested labOrs for
the general good of San Antonio and
West Texas by their fruits, ye shall
know them" If the editor Of the Times
possesses more knowledge and better
qualifications for the position. let him so
announce himself. and the LIGHT will
endorse him for the mission.
1t will do more it will devote SO to-
wards Il $1,000 fund to send him to Wash
ington. The Times ought to be in better
business than doing the dog-in-the-
manager act at this particular time.
