Interesting Memoirs.

Baron Haussmann, who, as Project
OF the Seine, ruled Paris during the
eighteen years of Napoleon IH's reign
in the most autocratic fashion, is about
to publish his autobiography with a
view of explaining many things con-
nected with his career which he deems
require an explanation. The Baron re-
lates that the married life of Napoleon
and Eugene was far from being a hap
Ply one, and that he was frequently
present when there were dreadful quar-
rels between them. Asked what part
he took under the circumstances, he re-
piled; "oh. l carefully avoided mixing
generally succeeded in creating a diver
sion by relating so1nc new scandal"
Owing to the great intimacy of !Baron
Haussmann with both the late Emperor
and Empress, his memoirs are looked
forward to with unusual interest.-De-

THE BARBECUE.
A Time-donored southern Custom Whit
Has Fallen Into Disusc.

According to Webster, the name bari
becue is taken from the Indians of Gu;|
ana, in whose language it is Il frame oD|
which all kinds of flesh and fish were
roasted or smoke-dried. The definition
is "a hog, OK or other large animal
roasted wholc;" second, "a large social
entertainment, usually in the open ain
at which animals are roasted whole, and
other provisions of all kinds are conf
sumed.h
Probably the nearest approach to The
barbecue in other countries was a Gus.
tom which obtained in Germany during
the Middle Ages, at the browning of the
Emperor, when an OK was roasted whole.
However it originated in this country il
has been a favorite means of entertain.
ment for the great crowds who have
been brought together for various pur.
poses in Georgia in the years gone by.
In the antebellum days, when Whigs
and Democrats met each other on the
hustings, it was customary for the
friends of the two candidates to combine
and provide for a barbecue. Them yi.
tations were SEM out to the yeomanry,
and they would come. The Joint dis,
cussion would take place in the fore.
noon, and after the discussion came
dinner. Somehow this t]ime-honorel
custom has fallen into disuse. and the
barbecue was relcgated to male picnics

Iabyrinthian Lanes Swept Away by the
Progressive Spirit of the Century.
Leaving the Rue Saint-Jacques. and
traversing the Cite, the Rue Saint
Martin presents itself. On reaching
the spacious boulevard bearing the same
name, the attention is arrested by the
Porte Saint-Martin. which occupies Il
commanding site on the opposite Dor
der of the boulevard and was erected
in the form OF a triumphant arch to
commemorate the exploits of Louis
XIV.-Ludovico Magno O. being in
scribed on its front. Whatever opinion
may be entertained Of the "exploits"
attributed to the pompous despot, there
can be no hesitation in awarding high
credit to the architect by whom the
editice was designed. Not far from it,
in a like position, stands the Porte
Saint-Denis, which was built about the
same time as its neighbor, and, though
presenting a similar appearance, is
probably superior to it in some of its
features. In the middle ages the Rue
Saint-Denis was considered to hold a
very high position among Partisan
thoroughfares; it was, moreover, .by
the Porte Saint-Denis," observes Saint
Folk, ''that royal personages entered
Paris" Its superiority has long since
departed, and the labyrinth of dirty
lanes closely packed between the Rue
and Faubourg Saint-Martin and the
Rue and Faubourg Saint-Denis, be-
wildering w~ayfarers and sorely trying
their patience, has, in great part, been
swept away and its place occupied by
the admirably constructed Boulevards

superseding trachcotomy or cutting

patient was a little child almost sutlo-

or suffering from diphtheria have had
to undergo the painful process of cut

the operation consists Of passing a small
silver tube through tho mouth and

it is passed. The handle, or carrier"
IS then detached by a spring and with

In explaining the operation to a post

Pay as You Go.

There are many good mon. with
strictly honest intentions, who allow
themselves to practice q certain species
OF selfish injustice, SO pernicious in its
effects, that the injury they infict upon
society at large-but more especially
upon their employees almost incalcu'
liable. We refer to men who arc dila'
tory in paying their just dcbts-men
who do not pay as they go''-mcn, in
short, who, for the sake of ayoidinga
little inconvenience to themselves, OF
making a little interest on their money,
do not hesitate to intlict upon their un-
happy victims an amount of misery,
from the idea of which they would re-
coil with shame did they but pause to
estimate its enormity. It is a great ag'
gravation Of this offense that the suffer
ers from it are usually the most NEEDY,

The news OF the death OF Gen. w. S
Hancock Will be received in all the
country with deep sympathy, but in the
South there will be sorrow unspeakable
for this dead Union soldier. The story
of his deeds In war and the history OF his
life will be told in all the daily papers OF
the land to-day; but no story of his deeds
and no history Of his life win make inn
press anywhere us did his matchlese
patriotism and unbendlng Justice on
Southern hearts In the dark days when
military despotism swayed the South and
the rule of the ignorant and the robbery
Of the corrupt bent the heads of Southern
people In shame and despoiled them OF
their earnings. No Southern man will
ever forget the name aud the fame of tho
dead sol lier, but not as a soldier was
his greatest deed enacted When
given tho power over the liberty and
property OF the people OF two states, he
proclaimed not despotism, but constitu-
tional right and personal liberty. Power
to the patriot was but means to execute
law and promote justice. He is dead now,
but the force Of his example Will live in
the hearts and minds OF men as long as
freedom lives on this continent, and the
work he did in the Unions cause with
his sword win be forgotten when
the work he did in the Unions
cause with his pen Is fresh and green
in the minds of men. Peace to the hero's
ashes, and may they who bear his name

that grateful millions claim the last

How much and what Kind OF support does
TIKI GAZETTE or do other papers receive from
or through druumcrsg before they became q

extensively in Interior pppors. Now they tell

rross fails TO SEQ the advertisement Of any
merchant outside Of Fort Worth In the
GAzK1rU. the pooling arrangement between
that paper and the drummcrs seems % be a
private onc.--l Galveston News.
The drummers do not deprive TIE
GAZETTE Of any advertising patronage.
The merchants Of Fort Worth are the
most liberal advertisers in the state and
they employ drummers, too. TIN;
GAZETTE denies that the newspaper Is in
jured by the drummer system, because
the two systems Of reaching the public
do not conflict 10 any extent. If the
News believes that newspaper
advertising will do the same
service that drummers perform,
why does the News employ drummers,
when II can advertise itself at nominal
cost We susp, ct that the News hostll-
ICY 10 ;hc drummer system arises from
the fact that the fluent representatives Of
other cities talked the people Of Texas
into trading where there was no wharfage
to pay, and Galveston, whose merchants
never did advertise in the interior papers
to any extent kicked at the loss Of what
1t naturally expected to get without
effort or expense. The News, Itself, buys
paper to-day cheaper than II there were
no drummers TO sell It, The News talks
as II II sighed for the ox-cart days when
there was no railroad except to Calves
ton, and no public conveyance into or out
of the state except through Galveston,
and no daily to reach the people with ex-
ccpt itself But those days arc gone,
John; gone, John, forever.
