THAT BOY.

first day Of his introduction to atmospheric ex-
istence does he put to fight all well established
household rules and appoint new regime as every
thing gives way before him. The poet says
babe in house is well spring of PLEASURE messenger
Of peace and love;
resting place for innocence on EARTH link tween angels
and men.
Such an important link it is, too, with every
body dancing attendance upon it. Old and
Young alike counting his favor, his smiles, his
love. What fountains of self sacrifice continually
play about him, and every knee bows at his throne,
the household shrine.
But, by and by, the strides of time and the en-
ergy Of young muscles bid that the lace and
dimity Of babyhood be laid aside, the rattle and
the rubber ring, and the spools of thread on which,
along with the fingers Of the family, he cuts his
teeth, give way to hammers and drums, and he
becomes finally creature Of pockets, possessions
and opinions-a bona fde boy. He becomes re-
ceptacle for edbles, a bottomless pit for pie a
buttoness young savage, render OF garments,
lover Of dogs and goats and dispenser OF their
fragrance, scoffer at propriety and caste, an
ncorrigible boy
Does he whistle and war whoop till your ears
ring, does he bring in mud and dust, does he ac-
cumulate useless things he regards as treasures,
does he toss things to you instead of handing
them, does he 60 on errands and forget to return,
does he drop marbles ON the floor, marbles that
roll and roll when you sweep, and you pursue
them in WEAKNESS and despair
What discipline he affords for patience, what
opportunities does he provide for your forgiveness
dear, dusty, muddy, earthly, impatient, impetuous,
warm-hearted, loving, boy
With accumulations of soil on his hands, with
mud on his shoes, with new holes in his trousers
and jackets, with his brain teeming with ideas,
visions of marvellous kites and ingenious flying
machines, and mischief of which his face gives no
sign, he regards the world one vast playground
and life an expanse of good time for his express
benefit.
Does he white on the lawn, does he slide down
the banister does he spill the ink, does he appro-
pirate every piece of string to his own use, does
he entice, shelter and feed all stray dogs does he
leave tops and wire in your work basket and
chocolate taffy in your machine drawer, does he
hide his frecracker pistol in your jewel case and
sit in the house with his hat on, does he lose the
hammer and the kitchen knife, and trade off ar
tices of home value for whistles, does he tease for
gun and does he convert the front porch into
kite shop? If he does, it's all because he is boy.
Does he climb to the top bough Of the apple
tree, and does he tease to 60 swimming, and does
your heart not follow him, oh, ye fond mother!
and do you not commit him to the God of the
sparrows? And the days of his care-free child
hood will live long in your memory as in after
years your anxious heart sends up its prayers for

ABOUT WOMEN.

The Tacoma Daily Ledger of 18th inst.
brings the lengthy decision of Chief Sustice r. A.
Jones, of Washington Territory, against extending
suffrage to female citizens. 1t took several
thousand words and much travelling round "Robin
Hoods Barn" for the worthy judge to get there,
which he did however, in time, only to die shortly
afterward, evidently from the effect of the stu
pendous effort The case will be carried to the
supreme court of the United States.
Miss Nellie Gould, who is generally conceded to
be the richest heiress in America, is described as
a remarkably amiable and sensible young lady.
She is an artist of considerable ability, and pos
sesses very fine collection of bric-a-brac which
has been adorned by her own pencil and brush.
She is said to be devotedly fond of her father and
is home-loving girl, and often when at home
takes several little girls from charity hospital in
New York to the sea shore for pleasant visit.
She usually walks, and rides in the street cars,
when shopping in New York, and displays none of
the consequential airs claimed by foreigners to
belong to over-rich Americans.
Jennie June writes from Paris of Mis- Elizabeth
Strong the girl from San Francisco who promises
to become as great an artist with respect to dogs
as Rosa Bonheur has to horses. Miss Strong
is quiet earnest little girl who went to Paris al
most without SOU. She painted her little flower
pictures, as she had done in San Francisco, for
Tread; and, in the meantime, studied and worked
and day npon such stray subjects as could

Of technical and anatomical drawing. This had
to be acquired and worked out by slow and hard
degrees. "Les Orphelines," her last salon
picture, has been sent to Chicago.

Joseph Howard in America.
The only offensive display of wealth
that l know of, that is made by any of the
very rich men of this country, is that of
the Pullman mani forgot his first name,
Every few months the newspapers of the
country are paragra pied with descriptions
of something that this man has done along
the line of personal display. If some one
of his various keyholes is gilded or painted
red, white or blue, that extraordinary, in
teresting fact is told in all the news
papers.
1t is the newly rich that make displays.
1t is the woman who, for the first time
owns lace shawl, who tells you what it
cost. 1t is the daughters of this kind of
cattle whom you see displaying great
wheel diamonds at the breakfast table
in public places. I think 1 see in the
young men-with incomes ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 year-ths baleful eff
fects of the imperial fortunes of the day
developed along the lines of personal dis
play.
They haunt their incomes. They parade
their horses. They talk too much about
their trips. The hoist a little too high
the gonfalon of their prosperity. Why,
you see, if they were to encounter any of
the one hundred or so tremendously rich
families that any of US can call off on our
fingers, men of similar tastes, how quickly
they would be compelled to subside.
How far could you go in race of $10,-
900 with George Vanderbilt? George
Vanderbilt, dare say, is worth S15,OOOOOO
to-day. Now if, instead of being fond of
books, fond of study, careful, peinstak-
ing young man of simple habits, not
spending one-teuth of his income, he were
dissolute, careless spendthrIft, how for
would $4,000 or $4,000 go in a race with
him.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it,

Now Confess the Rest.

From the New York World.
The Tribune at last admits what the
World has steadily pointed out to the
workingmen. 1t says that "9sges are
and always.have been higher in this com
paratively new country than in the older
and more crowded countries"
This is we'll for a start. Now continue
the confession of truth by admitting that
wages "are and always have been higher"
here because the country is compare
lively new" aud furnishes a greater de-
msnd for labor than the colder and more
crowded countries"
Confess, also, we have demonstrated, by
tables published in your own columns,
that wages differ as much in
this country in the same industries
in different states as they do
between this country and England. These
tables, you will remember, showed that
in 1860 weavers we're paid 63 per cent
more in Delaware than in Michigan and
LOG per cent more inUtah than in Illinois,
and that wool sorteTs received 6S
per cent more in Illinois
than in Indiana, and IS per cent
more in Connecticut than in Rhode
Island, though all we're protected" by the
same tariff and exposed to free trade be-
tween the states.
Confess, finally, the truth proclaimed by
Secretary Blaine, that undoubtedly the
inequalities in the wages of English and
American operatives are more than equal.

Honest confession is good for the SOUL
Keep it up.

Mr.. DepeW's Best Story

From the New York Star.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Depew
told most excellent story-a true story
and an honest story; and, when it is re-
membered that he just escaped being the
republican candidate for the presidency,
most remarkable story.
In this campaign the average rePubli-
can leader cannot tell the truth when talk
ing about the tariff. But "Our Chauncey'
is not an average republican leader. He
is leader among men by the power OF
brains. He is too great man to lend
himself to a small, mean policy of lying.
He will not lie-not even to save his party
from defeat. He would rather go down
with the truth on his lips than to triumph
through falsehood. But here is the story.
Mr.. Depew said:
Imet an Englishman, and he was noblemsn
of HIGH education, who had travelled all around the
world, and much in America, who was in favor of
Harrison's election. l was somewhat surprised,
for Harrison is hardly known over there, even by
name, and asked him why He ssid that ii was
because a tariff reduction such as was proposed
by the democrats would be a bad thing for the
English manufacturers, for 1t would tn enable
the Americans to compete with them in the mar
kets of the world, while under the present system
the Englishmen have everything their own way.
His opinion was that, with ee raw material
American manufacturers wou,d become formidsb e
competitors, to the detriment Cf English manu-.
facturers.
Mr.. Depew can now add one to his
many lsurels as an interesting CONVEX
setionalist. He has the honor of having
contributed az excellent democratic
argument to the presidential campaign.

OUR WIDOW.

From the land of the cowboys, far in the west
Where Sam Houston lies grsndly taking his rest.
Where the beard of the prairie by the gulf breez.
is stirred,
And the love note of the plover at morning Is
heard,
Our widow came
And lit loves fame.
Where er her banner was unfurled,
The finest widow in the world
Like nightingale soft in the summers still night
Her voice filled the soul with dearest delight,
Her lips stood ever on daughters fair blink
And the dance of her eye was as good as wink.
Our widow mild
Was as sweet as a child.
Zen though her bangs were left uncurled,
The finest widow in the world!
You may talk of the maidens so timid and coy,
Who blush at the sight OF half-grown boy,
They cannot compare in ecstacy's bright roll
With the widow, who is wise and yet full of soul:
Our widow sure
IL just as pure
AS any girl of "sixteen sweet
And, then, she Is go much more discreet.
She is grlish and young, she is friendly and free,
She is white as the gulls that float on the sea,
She Is plump as the quail of her own dear west
And the love of mankind is the song of her breast
At Cloverdale
Whose summer gale
So oft has brightly been be-girled
We have in care
That thing most rare,
The finest widow in the world

THE NJ. DIS.
Meeting of the District Medical
Association Yesterday.
Strong Article by DR.. Swearingen
on Responsibility for In
jurles by Railroads.

There was an interesting meeting here
of the District Medical association yes
terday, DR.. I. D. Wooten presiding, and
DR.. F. E. Daniel secretary.
Present-Doctors Black, of Round
Rock; Christian, of Burnet; Cunningham,
of EIgin; Cunningham, of Bastrop; Thorpe,
OF Liberty Hill; Harrison. of Dripping
Springs; Cooke, of San Marcos; Price, of
Rockland; Doak, of Taylor; Hardy, of
Page; Fleming, of Georgetown; Beall of
Fort Worth; Tally, of Bolton; Richmond,
OF Manor; S. R. Hubbard, of Jackson,
Tenn; and Duffau, Denton, Morris, Gum
mings, Neale, Swearingen, Church, Ben
nett, DAVIS, johnson, Smith, Lehde and j.
W. and F. P. Mclaughlin, all of Austin.
Doctor Cunningham read an article on
Bacteria" Doctor Fleming one on COB
stetrlcs," and Doctor Swearingen
one on "Railroad Corporations and
Doctors" all of which were very
interesting. DR.. Swearingen referred to
the recent case in which an old Mexican
was killed by a railroad accident in this
city, and fairly blistered the authorities
of the Central road for refusing to care
for or pay for surgical attention to the
victim of the accident on the ground that
the road was not responsible for the old
mans death. Whether responsible for
such things or not, corporations, he
argued, should not be so soulless as to be
devoid of the common dictates of human
ity towards those who are victims of
such accidents. The object Of the article,
which was beautifully expressed, and is
to be published, is to call attention to the
necessity of legislation to compel rail-
road officials to be humane, independent
of any question of responsibility for
damages.
A committee was appointed to consider
and report at the next meeting upon the
suggestions of the article.
After some discussion of the papers
of Doctors Fleming and Cunningham, the
meeting adjourned, and after participa-
ting IN fine dinner at Billeisens restsu
rant, assent led for further business in
afternoon session.

FINE CATTLE.
A Little Episode at the Branding
Yesterday.

Mr.. Anderson, of Caldwell Coontv
yesterday brought in about seventy head
of fat COWS and forty five head OF fiut
calves, all of which were sold to Mr.. Ed
Haigler, the Union Market man.
Nearly all of them we're sent out to Mr.
Haigler's pasture, but, before they started
he deemed it best to place his brand or
them.
Everything was made ready. The irons
were made Sizing hot, and the work OF
branding was about to begin when Billie
Heiligman, the right bower at the Union
market and Hide Inspector Capsrtou
burned up at the pens.
The day was hot, and the dust kicked
up by the swaying, scorched, writing
cattle was fearful.
The cattle were wild, and the hot iron:
made them more so.
They didn't like the fun, and long be.
fore the job was completed some of tn,
older animals vigorously protested ant

"Why don't you do so and SOL" yelled

spector Caperton.
"If you fellows know more about thi.
business than we do you had better get
Inside the pen and do it," yelled the dis
gusted cowboys.
"Of course we will" and over the fence
Billie and Caperton went, determined to
show their skill to the admiriug gaze of
the bystsnders.
NOW for it, Caperton; drive up that
COW and let's show 'em how to do it," said
the smiling Heiligmau.
Caperton was comfortably doing his
best when-"Look out, there!" rang out
with startling significance in their rear.
Both turned and saw an Infatuated COW

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Everything Lovely in Democratic
Circles With a Bright Outlook,

ClrcleS WIN DrlRnC OUTLOOK
Whatever you do keep cool.
Don't get excited. Of course not.
The sly,still-hunt won't work, and don't
you forget it.
Now is the time for democrats to
work.
The so-called independents must be
swept from the earth.
All the candidates are rustling with all
their might.
White is everywhere, and everybody is
for him.
George Walton is making things hum
and is happy, while Brer. Campbell is
correspondiugly dismal.
| Hon. George Glasscock is not as enthu-
siastic as a small boy on circus day.
There will be plenty of politics for all
during the next six weeks.
Judge Burts is fixing to pile up great
big majority.
The colored voters refuse fatty to be
governed by the old city ringsters and
bosses.
Frank Maddox is whole team and
wheel horses combined.
Judge Breckenridge is securing the
woods looking up voters and he finds the
work laborious.
Hon. Felix Smith and General Handy
scan the political field with self. satisfied
air. They have right to do so.
Judge Sheeks retires to the seclusion of
his office and tries to figure out where the
mischief he will obtain even six hundred
votes.
Mat Johnson now puts on staked and
ridered shirt, and figures out majority
anywhere in the neighborhood of 1000.
Hon. J. w. Robertson is getting in
some good ticks. He's a faithful and I'M
firing worker.
JH'o, Bornefeld smiles blandly, and is
just dying to see the Salt river packet
start up stream with the dismal, so-called
independents.
Matters are being fixed and things from
about the middle of next week will hum.
Charlie Cortissoz is arranging schedule
for the 80 called independent Salt river
packet, while Charlie Wesler, his right
