speaking of Christmas presents" said
Mrs. Bleacher White, to company of her
lady visitors, "my husband made me q
present last year that, I'm sure, none of
you can guess" Each made her guess;
but no one came near the truth. At last,
when the curiosity of her guests was ex-
cited to the highest pitch, Mrs. Bleacher
White said, "Of course you all remember
what condition my face used to be in
with those horrid pimples and blotches."
The company politely affected igno-
rance, although she used to be known as
Nutmeggrater White on account of the
roughness of her skin.
'Oh, nonsensep exclaimed Mrs. Bleach
er White. "You must have seen it. You
couldn't help doing so. Why, sometimes
1 looked such a fright, dare not 60 out
of the house for days and days. Well,
what should my husband do last Christ
mas but bring me home half dozen
bottles of Ayers SarsapariIIaw
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla" was echoed in
various tones of surprise.
"Yes," continued the charming and vi
vacious hostess, "and 1 took it all. And
now, behold the result! Not pimple, nor
blotch, nor mark to be seen. My husband
declares that l look ten years younger,
and all on account of his Christmas
present"
Every lady silently determined, pimples
or no pimples, to commence a course of
Ayers Sarsaparilla the very next day.

OF Matters of General
Interest.
Exhaustless Markets 1n.the Popu.
lous East for all Our Goods
Not Needed at Home.
Fort WORTH, Texas, May 20, 1888.

Fort WORTH, Texas, May 30, 1888.
To the Editor OF the Gazette:
Dear Sir-My apology for offering you
for publication the enclosed copy of a
letter received by me from Governor Hub
bard is that it treats OF matters of gen.
eral interest, and especially calls attention
to the importance of building up the
manufacturing interest of Texas, so that
we may reap some of the benefits of our
large expert trade to Japan.
With our four outlets to the Pacific
coast, cheap coal, and our native "grit"
and "pluck," predict that it will be but
few years until the name of "Texas,"
now made known to the Japanese by our
worthy representative, will be to them as
familiar as it is in Great Britain.
Very Respectfully,
THOMAS p. MARTIN.

"Goin' to stand it?" Queried the woman as she looked over at her hus- band.
 "In course not. Stranger, I'm sorry for this muss. That onery Robinson has took advantage of your bein' here to raise furse. Don't blame it on to me"
 I excused him and asked him for the origin of the feud. He could not give & clear reason, and after a ten minutes argument he consented to let me go out and talk with Robinson. opened the door, waved the only white cloth the woman could find in the house, and soon after went out. Robinson was behind a tree across the road.
 "Howdy, stranger?" he queried as l came up. "Has Hi surrendered?"
 When I told him that 1 had come to act as 8 peacemaker he laughed the idea to scorn.
 "Didn't he tell hull bar-room full of fellers at Athens that he could put me on my back?" he howled
 "And what else?"
 "Didn't he callme a sassafrax ew- CT, and make fun of my shootin'?"
 went back to Hi, and he roared out:
 "Didn't he brag of how he could out-jump me?" "What else?"
 Didn't he say we run off during the war?"
 went back to Robinson, and just as darkness settled down patched up a truce. He was to come into the cabin and talk matters over, being guaranteed protection. When he en- tered Hi sat on the edge of the bed, rifle in hand. The two men glared at each other minute, and neither the wife nor children seemed to have a quicker heart beat. Robinson finally placed his gun in corner, went over to Hi with extended hand, and said :.
 "We'ye bin onery long huff. l know you kin out wrassle me-"
 "Yes, we've bin powerful onery," replied Hi. "Iallus knowed you could out-jump me-"
 "And l chewed sassafrax."
 "And we run off during the war"
 That settled it. The wife set about getting supper, and it wasn't ten min utes before Robinson was trotting one of the children on his knee and say ing

A Lightning Plug.

Down on the docks the other day, says the New York GrapAic, talking about a schooner which had been struck by lightning on Lake Erie, when the reporter singled out an old bald head and said;
 S'Captain H., it seems to me I've read or heard ot your brig being struck.s
 "Yes, she was." answered the old fabricator, after taking time to out line the lie he was to tell.
 "Where was it?"
 'eOf Point Aux BarQues, about flt. teen years ago. Very strange case that, Probably the only one of the kind ever heard of"
 "Give us the particulars"
 "Well, we were jogging along down when a thunderstorm overlook us, and the very first flash of lightning struck the deck amidships and bored hole AS big as my leg right down through the bottom of the vessel.'
 "And she foundered, ot course9"
 "No, sir. The water began rushing in, and she would have ioundercd, but there came second flash, and bolt struck my fore-to'- gallant mast. It was cut off near the cap, turned bot tom end up, and as 1t came down en- tered the hole and plugged 1t up as tight as drum. When we got down to dry dock we simply sawed off either end and left the plug in the blanks"
 "Did you ever swear to that, cap tain?"
 al did, but 1t was before notary who afterward went crazy, and have never been quite satisfied. Is there notary here among us9"
 There was none, and while the re- porter was out looking for an official of that sort, the old liars took drink and scattered for the day.

Uncle Eneeh and Aia Team.

During the siege of Knoxville a darkey teAmster who was employed hauling supplies to Fort Sanders was frequently heard to boast that his team never stalled. "Dey jis walks of wid whatevah hitches 'em to-" hc would say. t'Faa' l., tsy's pa.!avx fun Pulltown, If you hear my hawn blow, Whenevah do gin'ral wants dis var fo't moved up to de toppen do hill, ovah wander. l'se gwinc to ply tur de joh, an me an dat team will snatch CT outen here, Dars whar l stan'."
 That same afternoon, while Enoch was coming into t,,e fort witha heavy load, his team stopped, then tugged, sank back behind their coliars; tho traces which seemed to have stretched like india. rubber shrank after each 'dead. set" and finally tho gallant and ambitious animals gave in dead beat, fairly stalled, and plump In sally port at that.
 During this time a. brcvct- major, weil- known as a fnartines, on the ssaG of a division commander, rode up In. tending to enter the port at tha. point. Many of the boys had gath cred on the parapets and at other available places to witness Uncle Enoch's endeavors Co pull out, Tho brovet- major was as angry as hornet, instantly. The stalled wagon so closed the sally-port' that he was unable to ridc through, therefore he swore vehemently at Uncle Enooh and insisted on his getting away from there. The further attempts of tho team were as nnavalling as tho former trials, not withstanding tho ablo- bodied swearing of the brevet. major and the threats, imppcation,, pica,iings ain; prayers of Uncle Enoch to his team. Eventually the brcyet. major rode of toward another sally-port, to reach which he had to take some narrow chances at the hands of the cnemy's sharp shooters and skirmish lIne. He succeeded, however, in getting through safely.
 As soon AS ho had ridden away Un- cle Enooh solcmnly approached n mnle, the only animal of that hybrid char aotor In his team. The mule was leader, and tncie Enoch, fuii oi in,iig- nation at both the mule and the brevot- major, lashed his long. cared beast nn- merciiully, exclaiming as he did so "Gei up here, you blame brevct hoas " and SO, with tho shouts of the boys, tho exira efforts of tho mule and the allied endeavors of his clearer bloodcd assistants, the team finally walked out of the difficulty, to the great atistao- ton of all concerned. The brevet- major sltcrward got hold of the story, and it seemed 10 have good effect on him, as he was notably less of mar tinet ever afterward.

Ben Butler Receives a Language Lesson

Ben Butler Receives Language Lesson.
 While Butler was governor of Mas. sachusctts, says the New York Press, he was retained as counsel for young man whose witc had sued him for di- vorce on grounds of cruelty. The wronged wife's sister, young girl of twenty, was the principal witness for the prosecution, and General Butler succeeded in robbing her story of the desired effect by sharp and irritating cross examination. After many in- terruptions the witness said that the defendant had been seen to "shy book at his wife's head"
 "Shy2 Shy book? What do you mean by that? Will you explain to the court what the word shy Incans?"
 The young girl learned over the railing and asked her sisters counsel for a copy of "Cushing's Manual" which lay on the desk before him. She hurled the volume at General Buffers. head with all the force she could command. It was good shot, and had not the governor divined her purpose in time 1t would undoubtedly have hit the mark.
 "I think the court now understands the meaning of the word shy" said the judge, and the girl was allowed to finish her testimony without further interruption.
