TEN, because the long heavy midday din
ner, served IN stuffy room, with dog
day sun flaming through the windows at a
crowded table of chattering people, is in
tolerable. When it is over people doze
and sleep like gorged serpents for
couple of hours, and would hardly be able
to move If the house were on fire. The
early dinner entirely breaks up the day.
The fare at the smaller hotels is really
wonderfully good. There are always
from to 10 courses at the dinner, fish
usually appearing at the end, just before
the inevitable chicken salad and compete.
The trout are fresh from the water but
are spoilt by the execrable way IN which
they are dressed, the favorite method be-
ing to boil them to rags and serve on a
haycock of mashed potatoes. There is
also excellent fish from the Bodensee, but
sea fish should always be avoided, as it
will have been tossing about on the rail
road for the best part of the week since
it left Ostend. The venison is sometimes
very good but apt to be overdone, and it
often has had time to forget the date of
its killing, while the cheese for which our
countrymen invariably call, has forgotten
the month of its pressing. The partrid-
ges are capital. A fair soup is followed
by boiled beef and salad, with four sauce
boats, containing picked cherries, cucum-
Der, etc. Then, perhaps, roast veal, well
basted with butter, and potatoes saute.
Then beans or peas with ham,, tongue or
sausage. Then the trout, then chicken,
and last pudding, with wine sauce and
good desert, which always includes fucker
brod. 1t is trying to see the natives of
both sexes divide their fish with their
knives and then having Immersed the
blade in vinegar and onion sauce, thrust
it fearlessly down their throats. AS a
rule the salads are horribly mainly,
[ suspect, owing to the clumsy fashion in
which they are prepared, and also because
the oil is always inferior. The natural
settler water Gin jars) should be drank.
Cream, milk. eggs and all country pro-
duce' are always fresh and of the very
best quality, as in many places the land
lord of the inn obtains supplies from his
own farm. The blackberries and wild
strawberries and raspberr!es are delicious
and a compete or an ice composed Of
either is a luxury to be remembered

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.
A Prediction i'll Regard to Their Political Re
IatiOnS

A Prediction i'll Regard to Their Political Re-
latiOns.
The political relations of the United
States with Mexico, whether the people
of the government Of the former wish it
or not, are going to be intimate and COM
pick in the future. The United States is
geographically married to Mexico, and
there can be no divorce between the par
ties. Intercommunication between the
two countries, which few years ago was
very difficult, is now comparatively easy,
and facilities for the same are rapidly in
creasing. And with the rapid increase of
the population of the United States, and
with increased facilities for travel, the
number of people Restless, adventurous,
speculative, or otherwise lninded-whO
are certain to cross the borders into Mex
leo for all purposes good and bad, Is like
ly to increase IN the future. An extensive
strip of territory within the Mexican
frontier is already dominated, to q great
extent, for the purposes of contraband
trade by class of men who acknowledge
no allegiance to any government, and
whom the Mexican authorities tacitly ad-
NIT they can not restrain. Out of such a
condition of things political complica-
lions between the countries, at no distant
day, are almost certain to arise. Again,
in ascertaining the Monroe doctrine"
the United States Virtually assumes pro-
tectorate over Mexico. For, it unmistak-
ably says to Mexico: ''You shall not change
your form of governments 'You shall
not enter into any European alliances"
You shall not make concessions of terri
tory, except as we (the United States)
shall approves" and in return ''We shall
not allow any foreign power, ourselves ex-
cepted, to bully, invade, or subiugate
YOU 1t may be, and is, replied that the
necessity of repelling from the outset any
attempt of further aggrandizement of
any European power on the North Ameri-
can continent, with its contingent menace
to the maintenance of the democratic in
situations sufficiently justifes the asser
ton Of the Monroe doctrine, and is for
the good of Mexico as well as the United
States. But, at the same time, if there
was any other power on the American con-
tinent which should abrogate to itself
the right to dictate to or control the
United States as the United States abro-
gates to itself the right to dictate to or
control Mexico, and had suficiency of
power to make its assumptions respect
able. could there be any doubt that the
people of the federal union would regard
such pretensions as a justifable occasion
for hostile protest and defiance?

A NARROW ESCAPE.
How Farmer in a Trance Came Near Being
Buried Alive-A Lucky Accident.
New York Sun.


New York Sun.
| On the evening Of June IS, 1868, George
| Wellington, an Indiana farmer, had a
| gathering of friends at his house. He
was man ~ years old, and of robust
health, and on this evening it was noticed
that he was in particular good spirits.
After the guests had departed he remark
ed to his wife that he felt more like sing
ing and dancing than going to bed. They
retired about half-past IL O'Clock, and she
was asleep before midnight.
The farmer was always out of bed at 5
o clock, but on the morning the wife woke
at 6 and still found him sleeping. When
she attempted to wake him she discovered
| that he was dead. A doctor was sent for
and he arrived in the course of an hour to
| pronounce it case of heart disease. He
said the man had been dead three hours
when the wife awoke. The undertaken
came and prepared the body for burial.
1t was remarked that the corpse retained a
life-like appearance, and that none of the
limbs grew rigid, but the two other physi-
clans called in vigorously combated the
idea that he was In trance and might be
restored to life. Nevertheless, the wife
and sons had a secret hope, that death
had really come to him, and the funearl
was put two days ahead. During the in
terval the corpse was constantly watched
for signs of returning animation, but
nothing occurred to detain the funeral ar
raugements. The burial was to take
place in country graveyard, and most
of the vehicles gathering at the house be-
| longed to farmers. The usual ceremonies
| took place over the dead, and the coffin
brought out and placed in the hearse.
| q
! attached to an empty wagon came down
the road, running away. The wagon col
lided with the hearse, and the latter
vehicle was upset and the coffin flung out.
Four or five men ran to pick it up, but
before they had touched it voice was
heard, saying:
For Gods sake, let me out from
thisn
/ The people at first moved back in
| alright, but as the voice continued to ad-
dress them the coffin was righted and
opened, and Wellington was found strug-
| Cling to get out. With little assistance
| he pulled himself out of the box and walk
ed into the house and sat down in chair.
/ In half an hour he had his clothes on and
was moving around among the amazed
people, to whom he related this ex-
perience.
Il did not fall asleep until sometime af-
ter midnight. When I awoke the clock
was striking made move to get out
of bed but to my great amazement, I
could stir neither hand nor foot. I had
the full use of my ears, but | could not
open my eyes. [ argued at first that I
was not yet wide awake, but when nv
wife shook me and called me by name and
could not respond by even moving an
eyelid, became satisfied that [ was in a
trance My mind was never clearer, and
my hearing was painfully acute. l made
effort after effort to throw off the great
weight which seemed to be holding me

Language Of the Eyes.
Boston Times

Long, almond shaped eyes with thick
skinned eyelids that cover half the pupil,
are indicative of genius when they are
found in conjunction with a brow which
Is full over the eyebrows, and which has
one deep perpendicular line between the
eyebrows. I have frequently noticed this
combination in the faces of distinguished
literary men and artists. The almond
shaped eye however, without this peculiar
form Of forehead, always means a sus-
ceptlble, impressional nature. Eyes
which are large, open, and very transpar-
ent and which sparkle with rapid
motion under well-defned eyelids, denote
elegance In taste somewhat susceptible
temper and great interest in the opposite
sex. Eyes with weakly marked eyebrows
above them, and with tiny growing eye
lashes which are completely without any

upward curve, denote a feeble constitu-
ton and a melancholy disposition. Deep
sunken and small blue eyes, under .
bony perpendicular forehead, are indica-
tive of selfish and coldheartOd naturer.
Eyes which show not only the whole of
the iris, but also some of the white both
above and below it, show restless uncer-
tain nature, incapable of repose or I'M
concentrated thought on any subject.
The eyes of voluntary move slowly un-
der heavy lids. Round shaped eyes are
never seen in the face of highly intel
lectual person, but they denote a kindly
truthful and innocent nature.
Eyes when seen in profile are so pro-
tuberent as to run almost parallel with
the profile of the nose, show a weak or
ganization of the body and mind. Eyes
rather close together show penetration,
but eyes close together denote cunning
and an untruthfuI disposition. Eyes
rather far apart are indicative of frank
ness and simplicity of purpose-an hon
est and guileless nature. When, how
ever, the eyes are very far apart they de-
note stupidity. Eyes with sharply de-
fined angles, sinking at the corners, show
subtility of mind; the sharper the angle
and the more it sinks. the greater the
greater the delicacy of perception it de-
notes; but when very much developed it
shows craftiness amounting to deceit.
Well opened eyes, with smooth eyelids
and steady and somewhat fixed glance,
denotes sincerity. Lines running along
the eyelids from side to side, and pass
ing out upon the temples, denote habi-
tual laughter-a cheerful temperament,
or at any rate, one in which the sense OF
fun is strong

GARNERED WIT.

The ideas of the colored man in the
south are somewhat confused on some
subjects. An old negro from Onion creek
applied to an Austin lawyer to bring suit
against Uncle Nose for $40 borrowed
money. "You must have witness who
saw you lend the money" Boss" re-
piled the colored agriculturist, after a
minutes pause, "ef bring two witnesses
what seed me loan him de $40, kin make
him pay me back $20?"

Father said Rolla, ''to whom was
Byron writing when he said: Fare thee

well?" "Oh," said Rollo's father, who
is away up in ancient history, she was
writing an ode to PATHS farewell tour.
Still forever fare thee well.''' ''And who
was Byron?" asked Rollo?" He was a
prophet" said Rollos Uncle George.

The Isle of Man.

In the midst of the Irish sea, at about
an equal distance from England. Scotland
and Ireland, is situated a small island,
thirty-three miles long, twelve miles
broal and about one hundred miles in
circumference, which bears the name of
the Isle of Man. Whence it derived this
name is uncertain. Some say that it
comes from a Saxon word mang, which
means surrounded; others from a Scandi-
navian word, mon, signifying isolated, to
which it is said Caesar gave Latin ter
mination, calling it Mona. According to
some philologists it is the Sanscrit word
man equal to know, and was so called
because it Vas the abode of ''holy, wise
wise men-viz., the Druidic priests.
| The Mona to which Tacitus re-
fers is undoubtedly Anglesea, for he
| speaks of the infantry of Suetonius cross
ing from the main land in fiat bottomed
boats, and of horses swimming across
and fording the stream but it is not i'm
probable that the same word was used by
Caesar TO designate this remote island
also, especially if the last derivation be
accepted, as the Druids occupied both
islands. The natives call it i'll their
tongue Mannin lin being the Celtic for
island which some render into ''the mid
die island," and others "the island of the
wise men," They also speak of it as
Manninvegveen, (the dear little Isle of
NAM and ELAN Vannin. Some regard
the name as corruption of Maune, the
surname of st. Patrick, but both words
may have been derived from the same
root. The Danes and Mortimer appear
! to have pronounced it Maun.-London

MICROSCOPY IN THE WOODS.
Difference in Structure Sufficient Identified
ton Of the Species.
Pail Mall Gazette.


An inspection of different species
shows the marked diversity in the struc-
ture and appearance of the woods, and
one is quickly relieved of the impression
that they are all alike. Examined micro
scopically, the difference in structure are
sufficient for Identification of the spec
les, and at the same time enable one to
judge of the suitably Of a particular
wood for definite uses. So little has
been done in this country i'll the micros-
copical study of the woods for engineer
ing, architectural, or mechanical pur-
poses, that but few are aware of the vari-
ETY. in form and structure Of the wood
cells, ducts, and special fibers which make
up the woody tissus of the different spe c.
les. An expert can readily determine
whether certain wood used for railroad
ties, will sustain the service of trunk
line, Or is only suitable for a branch of
limited traffic. In the cOnserae, which
includes the pines, cedars, larches, red
wood, spruces and frs, as a rule, each lay
er of growth only has two kinds of wood
cells, call ID trauheids, one of thin walls
ank large lumen, and the other of thi ok
walls and small lumen; when the form
er predOminates, making nearly all of
the layer, the wood is generally soft, a S
in the white pine, redwood, spruces, and
frs. When the thick walled cells form
one fourth to one half of the layer the
MOOd is much harder, as in the long leaf
yellow pine, and the larches. On the
thin walled cells of all the species or the
coniferae are dome-like or Ienticular
markings, principally on the sides para
lei to the medullary rays. The thick
walled cells are often marked on the sides
at right angles to the medullary reys. The
cOnlferae have more or less reSinOus pro-
ducts, and the presence or absence of the
upright resin canals aid in distinguishing
the genera, while the form and character
of the meduliary rays, the presence or
absence of resin ducts, the character of
the cells, enable the species to be 1denti-
fed. In the alpurnum or sap wood, the
startch is confined to the cells around
the resin canals and in the cells af the
mudullary rays, The cellular structure
of the oaks, chestnuts, hickories, ashes,
walnuts, naples, beaches, birches and
magnollas is far more complex and more
highly differentiated than that of the cou-
Tiers: besides the wood cells, there are
ducts, vessels, and special cells contain
ing starch in the alburnum or sap wood
In nearly all the species of the first five
orders mentioned; the ducts grow in con-
centric rows, in the first of the seasons
growth; those which form later may be
inclined through through the layer of
wood cells, becoming smaller as they ap-
proach the outer portion. In the live
oak the ducts run radiatly through the
ring, and the small fbers are nearly solid
giving the wood great hardness, making
it so valuable for shin building

County house where Mr.. Gould was born
and sell copies in Wall street. He jour
ncyed down the river with his trunk full

"We don't care a continental for

We charged that the democratic
bosses, sole end and aim was to elect
GiItinan. This the Sun indirectly yet
tacitly proves and admits, for its sole
cry in its lengthiest and most blatant
harangue is, the people "have elected
Giltinan auditor" This gives the
whole thing away, and proves our
charge. Not one word or syllable is
said of Miller. Baldwin, Finnegan, or
the other dupes-they served their
purpose and elected Giltinan, hence
the bosses did not consider them
worth line. Like oranges they were
sucked and thrown away. The Sun
also in prominent head lines says:
"Victory! the Democrats elect the
head of the county ticket" and adds
remembering all, the democrats claim,
and rightfully so, victory"-T'here
it Is again. The only inference from
the above quotation Is that that was
all they tried to do, and is lust what
we charged and exactly what they
seemingly would have u5 infer. Oh,
won't there be u picnic when the
chickens come home to roost!
