Such was the remark made by a we'll
known prescription clerk, as pale
and rather slovenly dressed female am
bled down the centre of the drug store,
and took her place in front of the
counter. The clerk did not step for
ward in his usual suave and polite
manner, with an inquiry as to her
wants. He merely diyed into drawer,
brought out couple of walls with a
red label in white letters, wrapped
them up, handed them to the Gus
toner, took the cash and put it in the
drawer. All this had TRANSFERRED with
out a word on either side, and 1t was
very evident that the buyer and seller
had met more than once before.

world. TIE raw article, however, is
not used to a great extent-it is con-
sumed in moro agreeable forms, such
as pills, injections, etc. l believe from
what / have observed, not only in this
city but elsewhere, that women are
more addicted to the morphine habit
than men. This may be accounted Tor
net by the fact that the fair sex are
more prone to the use of stimulants
than their husbands or brothers, but
these latter have other stimulants, such
as LIQUOR and tobacco, and again women
can obtain morphine more secretly
than they can liquor, and consume it
witnout Showing SO much of its effects.
It's use is not confined to the cities,
either; for by almost every
mail comes orders for hypo-
dermic syringes, needles, NOR
phine, etc., and these are from remote
parts of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho.

saying is, and has been steady Gus

TIE AKRRICAN FORESTS.

The American Forestry Association is
doing good and patriotic work IN its at
tempt to induce Congress 10 psss the bill
now before that body for the protection
of the timber supply Ct the country. In
the rush ard hurry OF this busy century
people do not find time to devote to
questions Of national Interest bearing
upon the future. Every one Is too much
engrossed with his own personSl and
present affairs to think of the future, but
it is clearly the duty OF people to have
some regard for the welfare OF those who
sre to follow them. The timber sup
ply of this country has been re-
duced and squandered most e1travsgsntly.
Looking only to the immediate pres
ent, forests have been felled and
the choicest portions only OF mag
nifcent timber selected. No effort
has been made to replenish the
supply. It is now high time to prevent
by legislation the destruction OF our
forests and encourage as much as possi-
bic arboriculture. Trees grow slowly snd
they must be planted by one generation
for the use Of later generations.

FRESH VEGETABLES FROM TEXAS.

a Novel Exhibition to be Seen In St,
Louis
Translated from the ST. Louis "Westliche
Post" February 70,
Editor Post:
( 1t may be matter of interest to your
many readers, and more especially to the
market gardeners and hucksters Of this
city, who are experts in such matters, to
visit the exposition Of fresh garden vege-
tables now on exhibit under the Southern
hotel in the handsome rooms of Mr.. John
Howard, of and for the state of Texas.
There visitors can view cabbage heads,
fresh beets, turnips, carrots, radishes,
young onions, and other vegetables,
which were sown last fall, and have been
growing all winter in the open air.
These vegetables were pulled out of the
open ground two or three days ago, snd
shipped by railroad to St. Louis, where
they arrived in perfect condition. In the
favored cline Of Texas, all that need De
done, when vegetables are needed for use
at any time during winter, Is to go TO the
garden and pull them fresh out Of the
ground. Tomatoes, green peas, string
beans, are ready for use during the early
part OF April. These vegetables present
an attractive appearance, but it Is s q1es-
ton whether, il they h.d been raised and
dressed for market by the hand of some
of our skilled German gardeners, they
would not look finer still. L.

TIE TWO CAMPAIGNS.

The Waco Examiner was not satisfied
with one crushing article denying THE
GAzETTE's claim that the campaign of
1873 Wss unlike the campaign of 1887 and
comes out with another article headed:
"Consummate Ignorance" which is
doubtless intended as part of the argu-
ment put forward. The Examiner claims
that the campaign of 1887 "more closely
resembled the campaign of 1873 than any
other campaign ever fought" and this
THE GAZETTE denies. The Examiner
asserts that the people were terribly in
earnest and in this it is correcE. Those
wko passed through the stirring cam
paign of 1873 remember well the excite
ment that prevailed and how fearful they
we're lest the bold uttersnces Of Coke
snd the unmerciful scathings which
he administered to the carpet-baggers
would bring down upon him serious con-
sequences resulting in bodily injury or
worse. "The foundations of our institu-
tons" were threatened in 1873, in fact
there were few foundations left as the
government Of the country was upheld by
the bayonet and the stste pslice, but
there was no Euch circumstances con-
nected with the campaign of 1887. The
people were confronted by powerful
and interruptions foe in 1873, but there
was no invasion threatened in 1887!
troops and negro state police did not hold
sway; organized rsscslity did not hold
control Of our state government; the
President OF the United States was not
called on for troops as was the case in
1873. The Examiner is right in say
Ing that there was a necessity for
able leadership, but wrong in saying
that people turned to George Clsrk.
Coke led the peopl', was looked upon as
their leader and his leadership won.
George Clark was unknown and would
have remained unknown had not Coke
made him Attorney General of the state,
It was nice compliment to George Clark
and doubtless he deserved it. He WAS a
young lawyer and performed much valu-
able work for MIR. Coke during the cam
paign, as did many others, and his pro-
motion WAS graceful recognition OF
these services. George Clark can make
no complaint against Coke. Coke showed
him gratitude. Coke did for George
Clark what no man or set of men have
ever done before or since-put him in
high office. There were other differences
between the campaigns. In 1873 no out
side help WAS received. There were no
tracts contributed, no shesd
center" In the north issuing instructions
as to how the "rural districts" should be
handled. Il was q patriotic fight in 1873
and 1t was fought boldly. 1t was home
light and fight for home. There was no
