An Authoritative Denial.

The esteemed evening Capital thinks
the Confederate bonds will never be
paid. There is not a question but it
believes just what it says. There are
very few if any people in this country
who believe those bonds will be paid,
but there are great many orators and
organs advocating the principles of the
Republican party that endeavor to
make people believe they will be. Be-
fore a Democratic President was
elected, the payment of the rebel debt
was discussed on the stump and in the
organs as one of the misfortunes which
were sure to befall the country in case
Democracy triumphed. The Capital
does well to correct the wrong impress
sions its party is responsible for.
especially when it is known that one
of New York's shrewdest and most ell
oquent lawyers has accepted a retainer
of British gold to present the cause Of
the foreign holders of Confederate
bonds, and has actually been before
Congress and argued the case in the
interests of his clients. -Des Aoines

DesoTo's DISCOVERY.
A Spaniard Who Had the Good Sense o.
Finding the Mississippi River.

A Spaniard Who Had the Good Sense Of
Finding the Mississippi River.
When gentleman by the name of
DeSoto, Spaniard, obtained the con-
sent of his Government to 60 into the
discovery business on large scale, he
embraced the opportunity joyfully. he
was sick, he said, of so-called explorers
starting for America with great blow
of trumpets, and bringing back only a
few little creeks and outlets that they
had discovered.
If the government would back him
up, he said, he would discover a river
that would amount to something.
When he landed in America he started
on foot and alone across the country in
search of river that was of some &C
count. History is silent with regard to
the incidents of that remarkable Jour
ney. You may have noticed that there
are a great many chapters of silence IN
history, and De Soto has not been neg
lected in this respect
1t was in the year 1541, to be exact,
when De Soto was forty-one years old,
that he finally stumbled on the Missis-
sippi river. He didn't shout 'Etl-
reka!" because that word had not then
been incorporated in the slang phrases
of the day.
His march back to the sea coast,
bringing the joyful intelligence that the
greatest river in the world, after elud-
ing observations for years and years,
had at last been discovered, was one
continued ovation. the people of Mont.
gomery, Ala, going SO far as to get up
barbecue.
There is disposition in some quar-.
tiers to criticise De Soto's action. They
say he was foreigner and had no right
to discover our rivers without first be-
coming naturalized citizen. Others
blame him because he did not stop with
the Mississippi instead of crossing ovel
and discovering Arkansas and the ague
and fever. But some people are neve,
satisfied. TEXAS Siftings.

A Voice from Abroad.

Prof. II. Won Hoist, the famous
German author of "a Constitutional
History of the United States" says in
a recent number of the Berlin Nation
that the opinion formed Of Cleveland's
ability and character has proved in the
main correct.
"He has now shown" says the historian, Sin
q higher and wider sphere that he possesses
sound and sober Judgment, the best intentions,
high moral courage, and an unOstentatiouSe en-.
ergy, which are proof even against the violent
and continuous attacks Of those machine poll.
ticians who find themselves menaced in their
most vital interests. What he has already
done for his country in the display of these
qualities sufices to link his name to those OF
the best Presidents The bloody shirt tie
legacy of the late war, has forever ceased to
be factor in American politics: the best
sounding phrases and the most vehement ges
ticulations Of shallow Drained trimmerS, ls

they persist in the attempt, the more surely

nal in the human breast of better luck

the berries command high price in
New York and Northern cities they are

the second picking coH'es-a week or
two after stripping has ceased--then a
begger might live on strawberries. Five
cents quart is high price when they
are cried about the streets-and often
the very best can be had for two cents a

price for picking. AS quart, how.
