Life of q Ranchman.

A ranchman's life is pleasant and
healthy one, although varied with a good
deal of hardship and anxiety. To be
successful they must be strong, able
bodied men, capable of enduring all
kinds of hardship and privation, and
should also be patient, shrewd and enter
prising. The fare is plain and substan-
tial, and where a ranchman keeps pigs
and chickens and has a vegetable garden
he can have it sufficiently varied. Many
of them, however, live on salt pork,
canned goods and bread, and do without
milk and butter, but this is inexcusable,
as out of a herd of cattle they can easily
get a few COWS for milking. Breakfast
is generally taken at half-past 8 a. m,
ani as soon as this is finished, or some
times before it is commenced, n or two
Of the men hunt the band of saddle horses
and drive them to corral, when each man
whose work will necessitate his riding
ropes his horse, saddles him and rides off
TO his task, whatever it may be, perhaps
hunting hist horses, seeing to the fences
or driving back any stock that may have
got beyond the fences and which it is
highly desirable should be kept inside,
such, for instance, as thoroughbred bulls.

Fashions Of Ancient Times.

Heliogabalus is said TO have been the
FIRST to wear a robe Of pure silk. The
emperor, one of the most unworthy and
debauched Of rulers, who made his horse
a consul, had q senate Of women, over
whom his mother presided, which pre-
scribed all the modes and fashions. The
Emperor Aurelian is said to have refused
his wife a robe of pure silk, on account
of its excessive cost. Indeed il was not
until more than five centuries after the
Christian era that silkworms were
brought from the east and introduced
into Constantinople by some monks in
the time of Justinian.
Purple was always much admired by
the a~ncients, the dye coming from the
murex, as is well known. The color was
thought finer the darker it was. Under
Augustus violet and bright red became
fashionable colors, as well as scarlet, and
we're soon worn by all who could afford :,
do 50, but Nero and Caesar afterward re-
served amethyst and purple for imperial
use exclusively.
Bright colors were disused in mourn
ing-when the Romans wore black, or q
dark gray, and matrons, especially, ap.
peared in public in dark clothes, dishev.
eled hair and without ornaments. In the
autumn respectable ladies who were al
all religious dressed themselves upon a
certain day in robes of ''murrey," or dead
leaf color, in which they made expiatory
sacrifices, the clothing being afterward
scrupulously destroyed, the idea being
that any evil which impended upon the
wearer might pass into her tunic and
thus be carried off in flame. The expia'
ton, II fully carried out, was most com
fortably supposed to be sufficient for Q
whole year Of peccadilloes. -Godey's.

An Amusing Goose story.

"When | was in Alabama, between
Porter's Gap and Milleryille," said a
gentleman living in Atlanta, Il came TO
a country place where a man was driving
ten or twelve geese from a branch toward
a cotton patch. For heavens sake
said /, what is il you have on the necks
Of those geeseF Those are gourds. full
Of water. / drive these geese into that
cotton patch and keep them there all day
wedding out the cotton. There is no
water in the cotton patch, and have TO
give them water in this way b. keep
them there But how do they get the
water out Of those gourds under their
necksT They drink out Of each others
gourds. Each gourd has IN opening in
the side 30 that another goose can put his
bill into the gourd and drink. IL you
will stay here long enough you will see
n yourself ] waited there half q day
. see that performance, and finally l
saw it. The geese did just as the man
aid they would. When a goose got
thirsty he walked up 10 his neighbor and
coolly drank out Of the gourd on his
neck. ATLANTA journal.

Charge Of a Tiger.

As a general rule a tiger will endeavor
20 avoid an encounter with a line Of ele-
plants; on rare occasions it will await
their approach, and charge home when
within a few PAGES, but on still rarer oc-
casions it will advance 10 the attack from
some distance, mouth open, lips curling
upward, ears down, tail on end, every
hair on It's body and head bristling with
fury.
Whoever has had the fortune 10 wit
ness such a charge will never forget the
magnificent sight, nor the terrific sounds
which accompanied the onward bounds
Of the enraged monster, filling the air
around, and drowning the voices OF all
other living creatures in its awful depth
and volume.
A large tiger viewed under such cir
cumstances, when his head and body arc
greatly swelled out, and his appearance
rendered most terrific by the bristling OF
his hair, is a very different creature from
the ~listless, fiat sided beast Of menngerief
and geological gardens-Edward ID.

ANOTHER INTERNAL OUTRAGE.

The cool dellberation and business
like manner in which Texas demo-
Gratis announce their damnable deci-
sions against republicans, as such, re-
CARELESS of law, order, decency or
necessity, would make the cheek of
d ,rkness pale with envy. The two or
three republicans who left this city to
attend the deep-water convention at
Denver were overwhelmed with ques-
tions concerning the freedom of speech
and of political action enjoyed i'll
Texas, and affirmed most emphati-
cally that such freedom was enjoyed
to the utmost limit. How must those
gentlemen from Iowa, Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Arkansas and Dakota marvel at
our untruthfulness when they read
in the telegraph columns of
the daily press an emphatic denial of
this assertion, in the unwarranted
action of the mob, called citizens
meeting, held at Richmond, Fort
Bend county, Texas, September 5,
1888. The assassination of enc man
and the attempted murder of another,
who happened to be democrats, and
for whose killing there was not the
remotest necessity for assigning any
political cause, this crime by un-
known parties is made the occasion
of a wholesale condemnation of the
republican party, and of mob law
pronunciamento, declaring the crime
an act of the republican party, and
basing upon this unwarranted as
sumption decree of Punishment
against prominent republicans who are
not even suspected of having had any
hand in the murders committed. The
decree of Punishment reads:
"Resolved, That whereas J. H
Shamblin has been assassinated and
an attempt has been made to assassin.
ate H. H. Frost, two of our leading
democrats; that we lay the crimes al
the door of the republican party and
hold them responsible for the same
and we hereby command G. NJ. Fer.

publicans and prominent in the coun-
ellis of the party in Fort Bend county.
Has it come TO this even in Texas,
with her 10000 democratic majority,
that republican majority in no one
county is to be tolerated? Must BAN
ishment, practical confiscation of
property, the abandonment of public
office, to which the banished has been
duly elected by "a majority vote OF the
county, must these ensue upon the
decree of a democratic mob regard
less of law, court procedure,
necessity, decency, humanity, or any
other consideration Must family be
broken up, all means of living be de-
MED, and these men be made house
less wanderers upon the face OF the
earth, because the republican party
has majority in Fort Bend county? 1t
looks very much that way. If to
Washington county ballot box MUIR
ders. and Wharton county rOastlngs,
are to be added Fort Bend county ku-
Kluxism, it will not be long before
Texas will be regarded with just sus-
picion as a state in which it is dam
gerous for republicans to make a
home. Language utterly fails to con-
vey any idea of the utter heartless-
ness. cruelty, inhumanity, and hell
ishness of this decree. Some of these
banished men are known through
Texas as men of good scholarship, eX-
cellent character, frugal and indus
trious, some of them men of property
and family, and the decree is justly
regarded as most infamous one.
Will the greatly lauded attorney
general of this great state take up
this matter in the name of justice and
humanity or will he, too, have the
lockjaw about it and accept and its
righteousness upon the plea OF
political necessity-the necessity of
democratic majority in Fort Bend
county.

Brick the Best Building Material.

Insurance men, as a general rule.
claim that building which is largely
constructed of iron is not necessarily
fireproof. This may be true to
great extent, says the american Build
er. Iron, when heated, bends very
readily under weight, and therefore
of itself cannot be called freproof.--
There is much, however, to be said in
favor of iron construction. 1t pre-
vents fire from spreading, and unless
there is large amount of inflam-
able material within reach OF the
flames, there is little danger that fire
will make very mnch Roadway
Stone and granite are very little
better than iron to withstand the
ravages of fire. There is no material
that can be used for construction equal
to brick. Every brick bears its own
weight. Bricks have already passed
the firery ordeal before they are used
in buildings, and are tempered. Cast
iron is not substantial enough, and
wrought iron, which is an improve
ment, stands fire but little better
For 6reproof building we would
construct one of fire brick. Then
glaze them and give them a good ap.
pearance, which is rather ornamental
than otherwise
There are, however, many kinds ol
material made for the purpose of FIRE
proofing building after it is con
structe6, but we are only speaking
here of material which is used in con.
sttuctlon, and we have the opinions
of both insurance men and heads ol
fire departments, who vie with eacf
other that brick has stood the tes
better than any other material.
