This all happened three years ago. Since then the young man has kept his tiancee posted as to his where abouts. Having prospered in his career in 1exas, he resolved to return, and, despite the fathers continued opposition, secure his sweetheart if he could
 With this resolution he started for the camp, which was then at Chestertown. Md but before he reached there the gvpsies had left. Following in their wake, he reached Greensborough, the band having encamped near by. To number of our young men he eontided his troubles, and accepted their offer of assistance Being afraid to enter camp, he provided one of them with five dollar bill to get his fortune told, and started hlm for the camp. He was not only to get his fortune told by the Texans sweetheart but also to tell her that her lover awaited her on the outskirts of the camp. The plan sue ceeded, and the girl met her 1ong-absent lover at the place agreed upon. That night they hired team in which they drove to the hotel in Greensborough but not without be- ing followed. The father, who had been on watch, discovered the scheme, and endeavor- ed to have the gypsy Texan "locked up for a week or so." His request, however, was not. granted by the local authorities With pleadings and money his anger was finally appeased, and he again took in his band the young man and his sweetheart. The man or dered stakes pulled on Tuesday morning and the band departed, but the Texan says he does not intend to permanently lead gypsy life

The Possibilities of a Goose Farm.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.l Several gentlemen from Virginia have been looking around through the mountain counties of western Pennsylvania for the past week with view to establishing 8 'goose farm" Among the party are James Bench, Henry Bailey, and James Connor, all of whom from Baltimore, Md The lat ter said:
 "Yes, we want to secure farm of several hundred acres, with stream of water with rock bottom running through it, to start in the business of raising geese. It may seem like a rather curious business to engage in, but there is money in it. We got our idea from the great goose farm started some time ago down on the eastern shore of Virginia Within an area of about 5000 acres there live 5000 geese of several varieties, at tended by herders and regularly fed with corn, etc. The object is the collection of down for quilts and pillows, and every six weeks a plucking takes place, only the breast and sides under the wings being plucked. Every goose will produce pound of feathers per annum, which can readily be sold at 90 cents per pound. We want to start with about 300 geese, and calculate that they will raise 5000 goslings year. ''In addition to the money received for feathers, we propose to sell off the young
 geese, and can realize from D cents to $1
 apiece for them. We have several farms in view along the line of the Pennsylvania
 road, and up the Monongahela river, but
 will not make definite choice for the farm
 for few days yet. Geese live for ever, you
 might say. Five hundred matrons will
 weather the storms of 40 winters at least,
 barring accident. They raise their young
 with the utmost care, and counting six gos-
 iings to a brood, you have B. 900 marketable
 fowls each fall beside the down. Of course,
 we expect % increase the stock as circum-
 stances will permit''

Consumption
 Conquered !!
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street, Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoonf.d of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give.'
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, RRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A CODY of Dr. Flowers Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.

l said it was amazing to him how thirty ol

 how they could dress as they did; how some
 of them get food, so small were their sala, ries. Yet he knew 'fpoor pastors who moi only keep wife and children on $400 year, but who also keep horses and carriages J This was instantly pronounced an impossi- bility, but the elder insisted upon it and he was corroborated by others. One speaker said: "I know of one pastor the members of whose family live on a per capita of four cents a day. This seems incredible and some of you will doubt it, but I can prove it. I have the facts and the man sits in this con ference" He afterward explained that the pastor was deep in debt and was economiz- ing in order to get out of his trouble. Such statements aroused the conference to action and resulted in the adoption of resolution exacting from every pastors salary exceed ing s1 900 two per cent. for the support of weak charges

C0mMUNICATIONs.

Some Good Advice From ssMechanfc.s To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: Who are the rich people of to-day? Ninet, per cent are those who either they, thei fathers or grandfathers, began life in pover ty and paid the price of becoming rich by hard work and self-denial They earned al they could and spent as little as possible They earned the right to be we'll off.
 Is this cIimea If so, I wish there were more criminals of this kind. The poor wt must always have with us, the insane, deaf dumb, blind, sick and decrepit. Asylums hospitals and almshouses must be built and supported, and these hard working, self-deny- Ing men to large extent must do it.
 Admit that 8 percentage of the rich be- come proud, arrogant, conceited, mean and miserly; admit that some make ostenta- tious and offensive show of their trils of men; others grind the face of the poor and are despised by all. Yet remember they are the few, not the many. Then be thankful there are some rich men.
 Now let me say to the working class the same road is open to you and your children to obtain competence that has always been strive to win it, or will you waste both time and money and trust to chancea None can answer this question for you.
 And in fighting against tyranny and op- pression see to it that you turn not tyrants and oppressors yourselves, for one man armed with justice is mightier than world intent on wrong. And in all your strikes never strike against manhood, never against freedom
 If I had my way would put high duty on almost everything foreign, even on boy cotting. The old country may need it, we do not. I have had, and always expressed it, great faith in the working classes To lose faith in them would be to lose faith in man, and may God forbid it. Then quit yourselves like men and justify my faith.

Trying to Save the Dog.


 Times.l While the fire was raging on Sunday morning in the Stewart building, at Main and Kennedy streets, the attention of num- Der of sympathetic citizens was drawn to a dog that was visible in the second-story window of the burning building. The ami nal sat still and looked out on the crowd with the expression of one that had lost all hope.
 "Ohl won't somebody please save that dear noble dog?" said an enthusiastic young woman.
 F'It's Councilman Greenwald's dog" was the only reply she got, and the man who knew whose dog it was stolidIy kept on pushing through the crowd in a manner that the young woman thought very barbarous and unfeeling.
 ''Well, if it is Councilman Greenwald's dog that is no reason why it should suffer horrible death, :" said the kind-hearted wom- an, and she pushed through the crowd to where fireman was standing waiting for further orders.
 Wont you please rescue that dog in the photograph gallery?" said she pointing
 She was pretty, and the fireman immedi- ately became interested in the dog. He seized a ladder and placed it against the burning wall at the risk of his life. Then hO SA1L1oOOl Gil1 u6 SlOOu dC the tOD and gazed in through the window, where the dog still seemed to stare death in the face. The sash was down and he smashed the panes in short order. Then, just as he was reaching in for the dog, he drew back and uttered an exclamation of disgust.
 The young lady, who had admired the noble expression on the dogs face, shouted. 'sSave him! save himt" but the fireman shook his head, came down and only said as he reached the ground:
 fTerra cotta.''
 "Three cheers for the young lady and the fireman, anyhow" said bystander. And they were, given, too.
 A Romance of Texas and Maryland.
 From the Baltimore Sun.l
 A good deal of interest was excited in Greensborough, Md, several days ago by rumor that a Texan had eloped with buxom gypsy girl from camp near the town, and that the father of the girl was hunting the runaway couple with gun. It seems that the Texan is gypsy, and formerly of the same band as the girl. She is very pretty, and he fell in love with her. They became engaged, but during horse trade between

MIR. MUNDELLA,s PLAN.

MA1s MI ONDEL LAS PLAN.
 An attempt is to be made to better regu-
 late railroads in England, and that attempt is of interest in any country where there are
 railroads. The new bill, prepared by Mr.
 Mundella, president of the board of trade, provides that the chief commissioner is to
 be an official thoroughly trained in the law, while his associates are to be business men practically acquainted with the details of transportation and trade. When the com mission sits in England the chief commis- sioner is to be one of the judges of the high court detailed for this service by the lord chancellor. When sitting in Scotland the commission will have for it's head judge of the court of sessions, named by the lord president. A similar arrangement will be made in Ireland. The commission thus made up is to be court of record. Every from it's decisions no appeal will be taken, save on questions of law. The court is giy- en power to award damages.
 This new court will deal with questions relating to fares, rates and tolls The par ties defined as possible complainants include corporations, local boards, chambers of com merce, and in fact every person or association which is in any way likely to have griev- ances against common carriers. One section of MT. Mundella's bill provides for the ap- pointment of commissioners by the board of trade to hear complaints, confer with the railroads regarding such complaints, and to publish the results of their investigations. The twenty-fourth clause is one of the most important clauses in the bill It requires that every railroad, within twelve months from the commencement of the act, shall submit to the board of trade revised speci- ication of their rates and charges, and a re- vised schedule of maximum rates of charges.
 Theoretically this appears to be pretty good scheme. Mr Mundella thinks that the United States is considerably in advance of England in the matter of railroad legislation.

| particular cabinets' of restaurants, where ] the younger gentlemen present would begin by pouring champagne out of the window, and end by indicting I, o. us. At all times, believe there, is plenty of this sort of card playing in the centres of the civilized world, but in Paris it fourished most espe- cially throughout the old ''fush" days of the | Cafe Angiais and the Maison dor, and was
 one of the chief amusements of ''gilded"
 people during the recent empire. 'fPlung-
 ing' was the order of the day, and lansuue-
 net was the game at which mest of this
 ''plunging" was done. The latter time
 honored pGstime-1ansquenet- finally
 dethroned by baccarat some twenty years
 ago, and with the great vogue of baccarat the
 birth of the gambling clubs seems to coin
 eide. The clubs of Paris, previous to the
 baccarat age, were all of them just such
 places as those known under the same name
 in London. When in 1860 or thereabout
 man said ''Je vais au cercle,' he meant that
 he was about to repair to fine suite of
 rooms in the best part of the town, sit down
 ln choice company to an artistic dinner, and
 perhaps, in the course of the evening" take
 hand at bouillotte or rubicon or whist
 Rarely in that day did the play get all wild
 or rulnous at the cercle; all the heavy gam
 ing was carried on at private and semi
 private houses. But toward the close of the empire even the best of the clubs were be- coming demoralized in regard to card playing. People were talking about Khalil Bey's tremendous game of piquet (which lasted for 60 consecutive hours, st the end of which the loser drew check for million of francs) and about the immense coups effected by ooe or two Russian princes, whose ex- travagances of every sort were the daily theme of the toutParis. Thus the name of cercle became more nearly associated in the public mind with the idea of wild play than had been the case before; and soon af- ter the war of 1s7O-71, in the midst of the laxity following on this na- tional upheaval, certain clever speculators conceived the idea of opening, under the title and with the outer aspect of clubs, places which should be little else an gam ing houses, with all the profits aceruing from such institutions.
