A LIBERAL PRoPosITION.-A1r.
Robert Reid, travelling agent of the
st. Louis Republican, who has been
connected with that great and enter
prising democratic journal of the
west for number of years, was in
the city Monday to canvass anon
our business men in the interest of
his paper. He proposes for every
five subscribers secured to devote
column to writeup of the city and
county, including prominent cuts of
the public buildings and principal
private residences and points of in
terest, which will be cotton up at
the expense of the paper itself by
new process. AS Col. Giddings, Mr..
Heber Stone, the president, and 9th
ers interested in the immigration
movement, are, however, out of the
city, Mr.. Reid will postpone his call
on the people until they return. He
ought to meet with abundant en-
enlargement, and if there are any of
our citizens now taking the Globe
Democrat, which has never let slip
an opportunity to traduce, vilify and
Islander this state, they should drop
it and take the Republican, which
contains far more reliable, less col
ored and sensational matter, and has
always been especially friendly to
Texas, with which its interests are
allied.

many we have a movement which is
called the German School of Clothing
Reform. 1t aims to replace cotton
and linen with wooden goods. There
are many reasons why this should be
done. Wool exercises a stimulating
effect upon the skin, unlike linen and
cotton, and consequently produces the
proper action OF the pores, glands
and superficial tissues. It is a nom.
conductor Of heat and preserves the
normal temperature of the body. Tt
allows a freer escape Of the perspira-
ton, and thus lowers, by evapora-
ton. any abnormal temperature OF
the body, and facilitates the loss OF
excessive heat. Also, through it's non
conductvity of heat, it preserves the
normal measure OF warmth. Hence
it is a better protection against the
extremes of either heat or cold than
linen or cotton"

The Origin of Mrs. Grundy.
All the Year Round.

All the Year Round
Some years ago the expression,
What will Mrs. Grundy say?" was
constantly in peoples mouthe. The
phrase was originally taken from Tom
Morton's comedy, "speed the Plow."
The play opens with a view of farm
house, where Farmer Ashfeld is seen
sitting at a table, enjoying his ale,
and holding the following colloouy
with his wife:
Ashfield- Well, dame, welcome
home. What news does thee bring
from market?
Dame-What news? What always
told you-that Farmer Grundy's
wheat brought 5 shillings quarter
more than ours did.
Ashfeld-All the better for he.
DameAnd | assure you, Dame
Grundy's butter was quite the crack
OF the market.
Ashfeld-Be quiet, will We. Always

"under the rose" is Tin strict conf

god OF silence) rose to bride him not
to betray the amours OF Venus. The
rose thus sculptured on the ceilings of
banquet rooms to remind the guests
that what was said there was not to
be repeated; and down to 1926 a rose
was placed over oonfessioIlals.

LOVES SECRET.

Each heart doth know it's secret shrine
Where sweet flowers bloom that give no
sign
Oh sun or dew; with sweet desire
Inc buds were stirred that glowed with
fire
And thrilled with life. and SO bloom came
Hope-lit and glowing-like loves flame!
Fond hands viii nourish these fair flowers
Inat grow to life in secret hours,
As IN dark paths all travel-worn,
Where hearts grow faint with burdens
borne,
And desolate, they glow and CLEAN.
Enough sealed to shadows-like loves
dream!
And SO sweetheart, thy life to mime
Was sealed my soul went forth to thine,
Like the flowers that bloom untausht,
When love had come to US unsought,
Alas, SO late! and yetso long
Its music linsers-like loves song!
The flowers may pale with sweet desire,
And love may swoon of loves mad fire,
Yet as lie, on thy breast,
My soul uplifted in loves rest,
do not see the darker path
That each lone life OF sorrow hath.
Complete with love, sweetheart, loves
shrine
LII secret glows!-love knows it's sign!

North American Review.
Wall street men were found in the
vanguard fully equipped for duty in
the early days Of the late civil war.
When money was to be raised to en-
able the north to carry on the terri
BILE struggle it had to be obtained
through Wall street. At this momen-
tous luncture. when there was no eve

casian. They put their heads to,

impossible to geta loan at any rate Of

of Europe the risk then involved in
such loan was regarded in about the
same light as the people OF this coun-

OF realizing on Confederate paper

Lombard street was not in a favora-
BILE mood to negotiate loans with this
country, and the whole fraternity OF
the Rothschilds shut their fists on
their shining shekels and shook their
heads negatively and ominously at the
bare mention OF advancing rnoney to
the once great but then distressed re-
public.
Money was dear at the time, and
the government was only obliged to
pay for what could not be obtained
in other quarters. Curiously enough,
private property was then con sidered
better security than the government

was not a very patriotic one, though
in reality true that the country
could survive its form Of government.
That form, however, the best the
world has yet seen, survived the
shock and maintained it's autenomy.
That it did so was in a, large measure
due to the prompt action of Wall
street men in raising the sinews Of
war at the incipient stage of the re-
beillion. Had they failed to do SO, it
Is not improbable that the repulse at
Bull Run might have proved decis-
i've blow to the union, and plunged
the country into a state of anarchy
from which nothing but despotism
almost as bad could have succeeded.
