Respectfully,
 JNo. A. ANsLEY.'

Now, Mr. Editor, whatever of principle once prompted the Green. back party in it's eXcltions has flown, and left a few bosses in Ne vada county engaged in a sense less, shameful scramble after few insignificant county offices. Ex- pcdiency has canscd them to 90 openly into the Republican party, and the grand pow-wow is now drifting rapidly to its Waterloo, and then their dcluIel followers will recognize that they are but the "mighty somnambuliSto of a vanished dream" while Democra- cy will sweep on like the ocean, with not a ripple on it's bosom tc tell when the Greenback party died. Respectfully,

The Weather.

Last night was warm in the earlier
hours, but it began to cool off some
what towards bed time. The sky was
overcast with clouds, too, and the
questions were asked: "Will it rain to-
night, | wonder?" "Are we going to
have stormT But we had neither.
This morning along between and 8
o'clock the clouds were still pretty
heavy overhead and somewhat lower
ing; some of them with a slight mist
of rain, like more than rain the
heavy fogs of the British Isles, only it
was not foggy. The seasons, they come
and they go in the regular order of
nature, influenced only by natural
causes, and we generally get the same
amount of rain and snow and of sleet
and of cold and of hot weather during
the year: but it sometimes seems to us
it comes out of proportion and at the
wrong time, but time always proves
we are mistaken.

Texas Benevolent Association.

The Texas Benevolent Association
is mutual organization, relying upon
membership to contribute according
to age and benefits, and has done more
to contribute to the relief Of widows
and orphans Of Texas than any other
order we know of, having paid 141
death claims, amounting to over $780,
600, and saved membership over old
line companies nearly two millions.
1t paid more money to the beneficial
ries last year than any other life CON-
pany doing business in the State. 1t
is well conducted and in the hands OF
the best men. The plan is plain and
equitable. The confidence is placed by
the management in the members, who
alone pay death claims, is similar to
the Knights of Honor and other Or
ders. 1t is Texas organization, con-
Quoted without lodges, and true Tex
ans should vie with each other to sus-
tain this benefcent organization.

EXAMPLE AND WARNING.

The conviction of Alderman Jaehne of
the crime of bribery marks an epoch in the
criminal law not of New York only but
of the entire country. Whether the con-
Wet serve out his sentence or escape pun
ishment altogether, the effect of the ex-
ample must be far reaching. if not per-
manent. According to the district at
torney who conducted the prosecution,
no conviction has been had of this par
ticular %offense, in the whole history
of the state. There have been few
indictments for bribery in the United
States, fewer trials and almost no in
stances of punishment. The betrayal Of
official trust by the sale of vote or iniu-
ence as a legislator has been A crime no
less dangerous han it has been net ,rious.
Men without other means than their
salaries not only lived in splendor but ac-
cumulated millions by means which. could
not but be open to suspicion. yet seldom,
even in cases of the most fragrant class,
have the parties Implicated seemed to lose
public respect, much less to have been
brought in danger of Indictment. The
general prevalence of corrupt methods
seemed to condone their use. This era
of political profigacy took its rise during
the war, and began to draw to a close a
decade ago. Its termination has been
emphasized by the verdict of the jury in
the Jaehne case. and henceforth dishon-
est public servants can expect no immlni.
ty from punishment. unless they escape
detection Tweed's punishment did not
prevent future peculation, but it sur
rounded all such robbery with greater
risks, and made the ofense much less
frequent. Jaehne's punishment for a
much more flagitious crime may reason
ably be expected to exert a similar in
nuencp.

The alternative as to whether ma was
created or developed can no longer he
raised now that we are exercising the
free use of reason. Mans dentition has
to be Judged from our experience made
in the mammalian group. Hence, first
of all it is II reduced dentition. True, we
do not know the definite stages by which
it was attained by man, any more than
we do in the case of the an;hroponior-
phoids. and all the other apes of the old
world, but we shall not hesitate to main
tain that the ancestors of man possessed
a fuller number or teeth as long "a de-
auctions are justified from the observa-
ton of facts.
Our teeth have decreased in number
during the course of our g~eologico-
geological development; we have lost on
either side, above and below, two in
%cisors, two premolars and one molar.
BY this we transfer ourselves back to
those periods from which the jaw of the
otocyon has been preserved. Baume, our
eminent ~odontologist. in a recent work
has successfully followed and pointed
out cases of atavism or reversion in the
human jaw, by tracing cases of surplus
teeth-and certain dental formations met
with in the jaws in a large percentage
of cases-back to those portions of the
jaw in the animal ancestors of man
which have disappeared in the course of
agcs.-Oscar Schmidt in Popular Science

The value of the literary symposium
was neveK more severely tested han in
The Brooklyn Magazine, when-an at
tempt was made to decide at what age
girls should marry. The opinions thus
gathered do not, however, materially
differ. Miss Louisa NJ. Alcott, speaking
theoretically. says from % to 25 is the
suitable age Mrs Lucy Stone thinks
% to 80 preferable. Mrs. Rebecca Hard
ing Davis says a should not
marry until fully developed in mind and
body. AS the time of development in In
dividuals varies, Mrs. Davis declines tc
give definite figures. She believes that
marriage based on n pure affection il
better, even under the worst circum-
stances, than n single life under the best"
Mrs. Julia c. r. Dorr thinks the best age
for n girls marriage is between 20 and
%. Mrs. Mary L.. Booth warns girls
against immature marriages and declines
to commit herself to figures. She can,
however, be set down as favoring mar
riages between % and 80. Mrs. A. ID.
I. Whitney says the answer can not be
put in figures, because it is a matter that
should vary with all varying conditions
and developments. - Atlanta Constitu-

The effort which some people make to
keep up a genteel appearance would be
la%ughable if it were not so pitiable. 1t is
pitiable because it deceives no one, and
only renders those who indulge in it the
subjects Of uncomplimentary and wide
spread social gossip. In the so-called
fashionable quarters of the town there
are numerous families paying high rents
who do not actually partake of sufficient
nourishing food to keep them in a good
state of bodily preservation. They have
finely furnished rooms, but their stom-
achs are not furnished with food very
plentifully, and they may be said TO keep
Lent the whole year round. If they re-
sided in less pretentious portions of the
town they might have equally comforta-
BILE quarters and plerty to eat, and save
something from their yearly incomes be-
sides; but they foolishly prefer to live in
the Same neighborhood with our So
called aristocracy, and spend nearly all
their money for house rent and dress.
These are the people who buy an eighth
of a pound of butter and two eggs at one
time, and other equally small amounts of
groceries and provisions.-Boston Budget

HANDSOME CHILDREN AS MODELS.

A Metropolitan Photographer Tells
About One of the Tricks of the Trade.
THE latest catch is in advertising for
handsome children as models. Every
mother naturally thinks that her baby is
the prettiest one alive. When the idea
is presented to her mind of not only
having her beautiful baby pictured as a
model, to the envy of all other mothers,
but Of actually being paid for that joy,
it fascinates her. In less time than a
COW could turn n hand spring she ha,
fixed upon the large sun she will de
mand, and of curse receive, for per
hitting her baby to be photographed,
and has even settled how the money shall
be expended for baby's further adern-
ment and comfort. Then she goes to tho
photographer who wants models, and
his fine work begins. Mothers have to
be treated in various ways, but the oper-
ator is a chump who can not take a pict-
ure of any decent looking baby SO that,
with a frame Of judicious 'taiTy,' its
mother. will be pleased.
IF the subject has got a little beyond
babyhood his job, that far, is all the
easier, for all children are graceful and
unconsciously put themselves in pretty
attitudes. 1t is only the mothers atti-
u d that has to be changed. From one
who has come to get money, she must
be- transformed to one who has come to
leave money. SO the model market is
already supplied fully, greatly to the
operators regret, because "A more beauti-
full child he never, etc, etc, or the pro-
prietor of the gallery unfortunately out
and the operator has no authority, to
his infinite sorrow, for a more charming
infant he never, etc, etc; or it will be a
question that must be carefully considered
before decision between another baby
and this one, but there can be little
doubt that such a lovely baby as this,
etc, etc; or if the mother is one that
seems to require rough medicine, her
baby, though a good average, will not
do for n model, owing to certain imper-
fections, slight, perhaps, but nevertheless
apparent to an artists eye. All the while
there Is the negative, a very good pre-
sentiment Of the blessed baby, making
its own appeal with mute eloquence 10
he mother.
The end of it all is, of course, that,
N'icther from hope or pride or cum ~
expectation of influencing selection, or
,pitc. or just because she wants them
my way, tine mother orders a dozen OF
ahy's pictures. Tho fact is that no
photographer really'wants child models.
very few children OF actual value for
such servicc-like the little Fernandez,
who was thoroughly trained for it-are

WHILE there has been no direct conflict
between France and Great Britain on the
fisheries question, yet the former power
has long suffered serious injury from un
just restrictions imposed upon her citi.
zens by the latter. Now that an oppor-
tunity has been afforded of bringing I'M
warranted claims and doubtful questions
to a final test, it has been suggested by
eminent Frenchmen that there might be
great advantage in a pooling VI interna
tional issues between French and Amcri-
can fishing interests as against British
aggression, and, as a means to that end,
that a joint commission should be appoin
ted with authority to anvass the question
in all its bearings, with a view to the
adoption of a convention which will super
eede all existing treaty provisions on tn,
subject Of deep sea fishing.
