PURE WIND.

A den ocrat in Texas, writing to the
st. Louis Republic says:
1.-THE universal sentiment in the
new south, especially in Texas, every
thing for our material advancement.
We are willing to let by-gones be by
cones, we are willing to relegate the
civil war to the pages OF ancient his
tory, where it belongs"
The above is pure wind, and to
prove it so, let us ask few queries:
First-If the democrats of Texas are
willing to let "by-gones be by-gones"
why has each and every governor in
Texas, elected since 1870, been dem
ocrat, and elected solely on account
of his confederate record?
Second-If the democrats are will
ing in Texas to "relegate the civil
war to the pages of ancient history
then, why do we find that
every united senator and MEM
Der to congress that they have
elected since the state was re-
constructed was elected solely on
the grounds of what he did in seces-
sion days to destroy the Union?
Third-If the democrats Of Texas are
willing to "relegate the civil war to
the pages of ancient history" then
WHY do we find that every officer,
high or low, that they have elected or
appointed in Texas since 1874 was a
leader in the rebellion of 1861?
Fourth-If democrats are willing to
let "by-gones be by-gones," why do
we find them seeking out confede-
rates, and confederates only, to fill all
state and county offices? and even
crowding old effete confederates in
to our pulpits, schools, semlnaries, col
leges and universities?
Yes, wind is cheap, but acts tell the
doleful tale. The democracy is hos
tile to the Union and to the Unionists,
and as much so now as in 1861. Down
with democracy.
They give it up, but in funny
way.
They say, we'll, New York is doubt
full, but then we will carry Illinois,
Iowa, and Michigan for Cleveland.
S. S. Cox rises to say that the Brit
ish minister's letter, endorsing Cleve-
land, will not affect the latter, and
with him all republicans agree, for
Cleveland was beaten before the let
ter appeared.
Does the British Empire want
Cleveland elected president? Ask late
Minister West.
Do the people of the United States
want a British free trade president?
Ask the republican party.

THE first great sensation Of the
campaign has come in the shape OF a
letter from Lord Sackville-W West, the
British minister to the United States,
advising an American citizen to vote
for Cleveland because he is the
friend Of England and believes in
free trade. The letter then goes on
to say that Cleveland's celebrated
Canadian retaliation message was
only bit of clap-trap intended to in
fiuence the Irish vote; also, that the
rejection of the fisheries treaty by the
republican senate was for the same
purpose. When confronted with the
letter Lord Sackville at once acknowl-
edged it, and to add insult to insult,
reiterated the statements expressed
therein. and added lot more of the
same sort. OF course Lord Sackville
wanted to help the democratic party
to win, and in writing the letter was
in all probability only carrying out
the instructions Of the English For
eign office in London, but the publ
cation Of the letter has brought about
an effect directly contrary to that in
tended by the author. 1t will defeat
Cleveland. The voters Of this cOun-
try will very naturally resist the die
tation of the British minister as to
who they shall vote for.

Extraordinary Custom Which Is a Com
mon Occurrence in Naples
Many marriages take place annually
in Naples because of money left, &C.
cording to last will and testament, by
benevolently disposed individuals, to
endow a certain number of virtuous
poor girls with a email sum of money
as an outfit. and when these girls, say
twenty or thirty. present themselves to
the trustees as candidates for that
dover, and the will only provides for
six such marriages, all the girls must
step up to the urn and draw lot. OF
course, out of the twenty or thirty girls
who have qualified, only six can be the
lucky ones. These six are not entitled
to the dover until all the legal arrange
ments for the marriage are gone
through There are always plenty of
young workmen, either day laborers or
mechanics, who are ready to accept
girls hand and the 100 or 150fr dover.
for she has had to go through a rigid
examination as to honesty, neatness,
virtue, etc.

the daily papers OF such marriage. and

my attention more than usual on ac-
count of the length of time the testator
had been dead whose funds were to an
nually benefit these virtuous girls. |

JACK TAR'S coNSTANcY.
The Happy-Go-Lucky Qualities of the Az
erage Seaman.

eraSe seaman.
You find the old qualities present in
the yarn of Jack arriving unexpect-
eddy with his pockets lined. He had
been away since the beginning of the
war. and was supposed dead. Imme-
diately on his arrival he sought his
wife and child; but they had some time
before quilted the home in which he
had left them, and nobody could tell
him where they had gone. He made
up his mind to discover them, and
started on the seemingly hopeless
quest. By chance. after much aimless
wandering, he found himself in the
neighborhood of the Seven Dials, and
while passing a street, he heard a
woman crying water-cresses. He list
ened, believing it was the voice of his
wife. but could scarcely credit his
senses, until. on her approaching, he
recognized her. Uttering loud hur-
rah, he made jump, snatched the
basket from her arm, threw the crosses
into the street, and Rugged her to

course, much affected, and wept copi-
ously; but she was easily prevailed on
to repair to public house and recruit
her shattered nerves with drop or two
OF gin. After Jack had piled her with
questions, he hauled her away to a
clothes shop, rugged her handsomely
from stem to stern, pitching her old at
tire into the street, then called a coach
and rode away in triumph, with one leg
out of the window, to show his quality,
swearing THAT. now he had found his
wandering rib, he was the happiest dog
alive, and darn him. but Polly and he
would have a night of it." Equally
characteristic is the story of the sailors
wife who, having seen her husband of
at Portsmouth, walked to London. with
the intention of proceeding to North
ampton. Her funds failed her. and to
complete her distress, child was born.
A couple of sailors hearing of her mis-
cry and learning that she was the wife OF
a brother tar. gave her all the money
they had. which, with a free passage by
the coach, enabled her to reach home.

FIRST POLO GAME.
Something About the Most Exciting and
Exhilarating of Sports

Something About the Most Exciting and
Exhilsr.tinx of Sports
Polo. or hockey on horseback, as it
is sometimes called, is the national
game of the people of Gilgit. a noun
famous country to the north of CASH
mere. Reports had reached India, by
way of Cashmere that the Gilgittis
were a race of blue-eyed Kaffirs (unbe-
levers in Mohammed), and it was sug-
gested that they were probably the de-
scendants of one of Alexander's settle
ments. and to solve this question the
Punjab government, in the spring of
1886, deputed DIR. Gottlieb Leitner to
visit the country and inquire into the
history and language of the people. As
far as concerns that matter, the language
Of Gilgit was proved to be a sister lam
guage of Sanscrit. and not like Hindu or
Greek, a daughter language; but the
point of interest for US is that DR.. Lett
ner took as much interest in the ma
tional game of polo a. in the language.
and persuaded three natives of the
country to return with him to British In
dia and bring their polo sticks and pO-
mics along with them. The party reached
Sakou. the capital OF the Punjab, some
time in August, 1866, and the game
having been discussed at Government
house couple of teams were got up
and the day fixed for the trial games.

the three Gilgittis, and one other. and
the game thus inaugurated rapidly ac-
quired popularity, clubs being estab-
lished promptly at all the military sta
tons. The game was played with an
energy, and with such speedy ponies of
Arab stock that severe casualties were
frequent, so much so that considerable
pressure was brought to bear on the
army authorities TO put stop to it, but
they wisely forbore, and the game was
soon transplanted to English soil, where
it fourished freely, throwing of Wig
orous shoots for transportation in
America and the British colonies. II is
perhaps the most exciting and exhilar-
ating game known, but it is only Cen
taurs who can play it creditably and
enjoy it thoroughly,-C. f. -imery, hs
