The entire table service owned by Mr.
Childs is estimated TO be worth between
$40, 600 and $40, 600, and he has been col
lecting it up for upwards of fifteen years.
Only a small portion of this great collec-
tion can. of course, be used at one time;
but, as was the case when the table was
set to have its picture taken, or when
some distinguished guest is being enter
tanned, the choicest gems are selected
and artisticaly arranged, and the result,
as seen beneath the soft light of scores
of waxen candles, is almost indeScribable.
The cloth on such occasions is of heavy
material from the "Vale of Cashmere. -
brodered and fringed with gold bullion
In the centre is a mirror lake four feet
long by three feet wide, and above it
stands centre piece IN richly silver gilt,
vasiform, and finished at the top with
eight burners, which, however, Mrs.
Childs generally prefers to have filed

of tapers. 1t has a gilt open work or
border above the mirror in which it is re-.
ilected. At either end as exquisitely d, :
signed candelabra in gilt silt and silver,
which stand nearly two feet il height
and hold number of lights, being also
draped with flower bespangled vines.
Standing by the candelabra at one end
of the table is silver wine cooler, with
four raised panels of cupids and graces.
The corresponding at the opposite ex-
tremity is a crystal bowl, fifteen inches
in diameter and nearly as high, used for
flowers This and its companion in an.

this, if it does surpass it, and that is "Auld
Robin Gray" which is less purely poetica
in expression, but rather more in keeping
throughout with the simple, hornely char
acter of the imaginary singer. To be able
to touch the heart is not given to many
poets, great or small. 1t was given in the

"Poor Papa"
From the HdShiHyt0a critic.

From the Washington critic.
The other evening the little daughter
of a Congressman was paying visit at a
neighbor's and the respective mothers
were talking of physical ailments and
their remedies. After while the little
girl saw an opportunity to make re-
mark.

Then she stopped for a minute, her
eyes softened and saddened and she con-

Hawthorne was as noticeable" man
as Coleridge seemed to Wordsworth.
His shyneSs affected his movement and
bearing but without making him awk,
ward. and his eyes seemed to be always
about to glance off from those of his in
terlocutor. He walked rapidly, but
without an air of fort, and his vigorous
frame, with its swinging gait, gave the
impression of massivenass, although he
was not a very large man; nor would he
have been called sturdy in appearance,
but strong. If the Easy Chair rccollects
accurately, his dress was always dark
His head and face were most impressive,
and his deep eye recalled Ellery Chan
ning's line,
"The well of thy dark cold eye"
It was a singularly handsome face-the
general outline fill and rounded, the
features symmetrical and strong, the
brow broad and massive, and tie dome
of the brain more suggestive of Web.
ster's than any contemporary head. In
deed. the aspect of the whole head was
Wehsterian, but of Webster who was
poet rather than statesman. No face
could be more radiant with the subtle
and glancing lights that indicate genius.
Ills smile was very sweet, and his laugh
was always ready, but not extravagant.
With all his shyness, his manner was
self possessed, but in no sense familiar,
and it had sense of remoteness, as if he
were himself not easily accessible. In a
group of pels sons he was generally silent,
and in tctG d-tcte ho talked quietly, with
out eifusiveness or ardor of any kind.
There was never man who seemed to
live more habitualIy in himself, as if, as
his son Julian recently remarks, he found
10 better society.

AS it will be impossible for our repre-

this great state, and in order to have
those who have not seen our line of boots
and shoes to see them, we will have our

Locust street, st. Louis, and we would
be glad to have the close buyers who
want good and honest boots and shoes at

We had almost concluded to write no
more about rainfaIls in Texas. Because
what we have already written has been
carelessly read and falsely quoted by so
many We would like to know what
benefit anyone derives from falsely quot
ing what we may have written. We have
never written where the rain would fall,
or the day it would fall, or the quantity.
We say the probabilities are that there
will be series Of local rainfalls ia Texas
about July 81 Please bear in mind that
we use the word about. Whenever
these rainfalls commence you will
notice they travel eastward, with strong
tendency to go around the dry places.

heat comes before rain in Texas, and
cooler weather afterwards. We have got
the heat at this writing. During this
day Saturday number of citizens have
called upon us and requested us to con-
tinue our articles upon rainfalls; that q
great many persons were deeply inter
ested in them. At this writing 1t looks as

count of the great drought our business,
which is the largest retail business done
in Fort Worth, is much depressed, in con-
sequence of which we have made great

Special TO the Gazette.
SHERMAN, Tx, July 22.-Mr. A. r.,
Andrews, the efficient tax collector Of
Grayson county, to-day gave GAZETTE
reporter the following;
Out of a total county tax of So, 40T 20,
the delinquency foots up only S2l27, or
but little over 3 per cent of the entire
amount The state tax aggregates $685.
800 aud Of this sum $5673 Is charged
up to the delinquents, consid-
erablv larger per cent. than In the
former case. But of this S5G78, $4,000
is due TO non-payment OF the poll tax,
showing that 800 and odd sovereigns in
Grayson county have been derelict In
their duty to the state. The amount Of
money that is lost to Texas in this way
every year Is simply enormous, and
would seem to furnish good argument
for those who think that poll tax re-
ceipt is an essential qualification to every
citizen who aspires to sling ballot.
