We went to where the lady was sitting

"Certainly, officer, it is all right, and l

being alone in a foreign country, and l
did not wish to give her furthe trouble.

The officer smiled grimly and synically.
His hand was in his trousers pocket, and
he actually jingled the coins there as he
looked me straight in the eye.

SAVERS NOMINATED FOX CONGRESS.

The congressional democratic conven-
ton of the tenth district, at San An
tonic on Saturday, by rising and unani-
nous vote nominated the Hon. Joseph d.
Sayers to again represent this district in
congress. There was no opposition to
Mr.. Sayers, and his course in the last con-
gress was unquestionably and handsomely
Endorsed by this full and general express
sion of confidence. Major Sayers while a
new member in the last congress, yet soon
took rank as an able and conservative
thinker and judicious adviser. He served
on several committees, notably that of
Naval Affairs-where his work bore good
results, always in the line of our country

He Topped his wings, and away he went
To make one angel more.

WHAT CAN BE DONE.

By trying again and keeping up cour-
age many things seemingly impossible
may be attained. Hundreds of hopeless
cases of kidney and liver complaint have
been cured by Electric Bitters, after every
thing else had been tried in vain. So,
don't think there is no cure for you, but
try Electric Bitters. There is no medicine
so safe, so pure and so perfect a blood
purifier. Electric Bitters will cure dy
spepsla, diabetes and all diseases of the
kidneys. Invaluable in affections of
stomach and liver, and overcome all urin-
airy difficulties. Large bottles only 90 cts.

GIVE US THE SW ORD.

Let there be no back down in the Cut
ting matter. If that and the Eagle Pass
outrage are submitted to, no American will
be safe in Mexico. If the United States
government takes water" and surrenders
the principle involved, the moral effect
will be disastrous. If the administration
hasn't the backbone to protect its own
citizens abroad, let it say SO, and shoulder
the odium which the want of pluck must
entail. 1t is not merely Cutting, but the
konor of the country, that has been at
tackled, and that is certainly involved. We
would say to Cleveland and Bayard that if
they allow these insults to be heaped on
American citizens without being resented
the administration will lose respect at
home and abroad
bold military demonstration just now
across the Rio Grande, would not only
make a name for the first democratic ad-
ministration in quarter of century,
but give it moral force with orr own
people and foreign nations which it must
lose by submitting to the bullying and in
sulting bravado of our Mexican neighbors.
There can be no excuse on this occasion
for dragging the United States flag in
dishonor. Let the word be given, and an
army would spring up in day without
going outside of Texas.

The ridiculous attempt made to belittle
SWANS backing in the Galveston conven-
ton is as weak as the reaction on those
belittlers will be terrible. Swain carries
with him into that convention following
that will be the controlling element, either
winning the nomination or effectually
locking the convention. 1t must not be
forgotten that counties like Bexar and
Harris are to be heard from-counties
where the most daring trickery only saved
from endorsement for Swain. These go
to the convention with mixed delegation.
These counties are near home, and their
trickery is known. 1t is rumored from
many other counties in the state. And it
will only be known when the votes are
counted at Galveston how far this trickery
has succeeded. Texas people will not
stand it, and Swain will yet poll his legiti-
mate vote, which will be winning one.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-08-05

IT is now admitted by the Ross men
that the Houston convention was Swain
body. The proposition is self-evident, be-
cause the vote to instruct for Swain stood
80 for Swain to SO combined opposition.
In the Galveston convention Swain will
get at least half the Harris county dele
gates. This Is the case in many other
counties, notably San Antonio, where SO
much mean and ignoble treachery and
trickery were practiced, and for money
too, they say.

Swain. We honestly believe that Swain
will, when il comes to the test, develop Il
strength thatwlll astonish the Rossites and
the followers of Martin. He will have a

the principal propositions presented on
the boundary question. Commissioners
Freeman says:
While every member of the Texas com
mission supported the latter proposition,
and three of them the former, the Hon.
W. S. Herndon early developed his antago-
nism to the former. Had his scismatie
determination not been made known to
the commission on the part of the United
States, it is not at all improbable that the
result of the commissions work might
have been a final settlement satisfactory
to Texas.

A TrampS Terrible Prcdiacment.

As the south bound freight train left this
station, Tuesday afternoon, number of our
citiZrns were eye-witnesses of a scene that
made the blood in their veins run cold. A
tramp was trying to "beat" his passage on the
train, and attempted to get on brake beam.
He missed his reckoning, and his feet drag
ged on the track between the rails. The
train was moving about six miles per hour.
To let go was certain death. He struggled
frantically to get to his feet ON the break
beam, but failed. Meanwhile, the spectators
were Mortified, and many turned their eyes
away from the scene. At last. by an almost
supermuman effort, he got both feet up be-
tween his hands against the brake bar, of
which he had hold, and, after swinging sew
eral times until his body had gained sufficient
momentum, he let go with his hands, and
shot out from under the car head first, and
landed on bis back on the side of the enbank-
ment, down which he rolled into mud pud-
de. His face was devoid of color when he
arose, the palms of his hands were bleeding,
and he trembled As if suffering from severe
chill. His adventure and marvellous escape
aroused the sympathies of those who witnessed
the knock ut deaths door" and collection
of several dollars was promptly taken up and
given him. He was robust young man of
about % years of age, and owed his life to
his strength and agility -Gr,dley Pa. Her.

This was the object of our mission-the
great wall of China. built 2l3 years be-
fore our era: built OF great slabs of we'll
hewn stone. laid in regular courses some
20 feet high, and then topped out with
large, hard-burned brick, filed in with
earth, and closely paved on the top with
more dark tawny brick-the ramparts
high and thick and castellated l,r use OF
arms. Right and left the great wall
sprung far up the mountain side--now
straight, now curved to meet the noun
tain ridge .turreted each 800 feet-a frown-
ing mass Of masonry. No need to tell
you of this wall, the books will tell you
that-how it was built to keep the war
like Tartars out-25 feet high by 40 thick,
1900 miles long, with room on top for six
horses to be rode abreast. Nor need l
tell you that for 400 years it kept those
hordes at bay, nor that in the main the
material used upon it is just as good and
firm and strong as when put in place. TO
tell you how one feels while standing on
this vast work scrutinizing its old mason
ry, its queer old cannon and ambitious
sweep along the mountain crest, were only
folly. In speeches. awe we stroll
ed or sat and gazed in silent wonder.
Twelve hundred miles from this gigantic
work, built on the rugged, craggy noun
tain tops, vaulting over gorges. spanning
wild streams, netting the river archways
with huge. hard bars of copper; with
double gates, with swinging doors and
bars set thick with iron armor-a wonder
in the world, before which the old-time
classic seven wonders-all gone now save
the great yramid-were toys. The great
pyramid has 100000 cubic feet; the
great wall $3.50, 100000 cubic feet. An
engineer in Stewards party here some
years ago gave it as his opinion that the
cost of this wall, figuring labor at the
same rate, would more than equal that of
all the 100000 miles of railroad in the
United States. The material it contains
would build wall SIX feet high and two
feet thick right straight around the globe.
Yet this was done in only twenty years,
without trace of debt or bond. 1t is the
greatest individual labor the world has
known. You stand before it as before the
great omnipotent-bowed and silent.
