The Daily Eight.
Office No. 4 East Commerce Street.

THE Waco Day, good democratic au-
thority, strikes snag in attempting
to reconcile the statements of the st.
Louis platform and the presidents
message. The Day says:
''The presidents message was en-
dorsed by the st. Louis convention as
an Interpretation of the tariff plank of
the platform of 1884, but on a question
intimately associated with the tariff
there is wide variance between the
message and platform. This is the
system of internal revenue taxation,
which is denounced in the platform as
relic of the war which ought to be
abolished as soon as the necessity for
its existence ceases as means of pay
ing bOunties to the soldiers and sailors
other hand, declares that internal
that are not strictly speaking necessa-
ries, that there is no just complaint
against their continuance and that
the burden should consequently not
be lifted"
This is only one of a whole ten-acre
lot full of snags that the democracy
will run against, in endeavoring to
follow out the eastward of the sun and
westward of the moon course laid out
by Grover at Washington, and cris-
crossed by the Platform of the faithful
at st. Louis. There is heap of dust
in that document, and the assay of re-
publican exposition will show that so
much of it is p. d. p. that there is not
good metal left to pay the assay.
PUT it down it letters large and
plain-Galveston will be at Fort
Worth on the 10th day Of july, 1888,
and she will be there with all the men
and money necessary to push her
claims as the point at which deep
water efforts should center. San An
tonic is more interested than any
other city in this state in disproving
that fact and showing the exact con-
dition of the deep water problem. 1t
is clearly to her highest interests to
make good her claims for Arkansas
Pass and this she can only do by
systematic and well ordered plan of
procedure before the convention. For
that she must prepare or fail.

Men Who Saved the Union.

Colonel Dom Piatt's new book,
Memories Of Men Who Saved the I'm
ion" excites lively attention His
five heroes are Lincoln, Stanton, Chase,
Seward and General George H Thorn
as. He makes it very clear to his
readers why he does not add to his
military list. The reasons FOR his
omission Of various wellknown names
are likely to receive q general bonn
bardment from hero worshipers.
Whatever view may be taken OF his
failure to bestoW praises where he
does not think them due, there will be
a general agre ennent among the friends
and admirers OF General Thomas that
quite aside from any comparisons
which Colonel Piatt Institutes, he has
produced the most worthy tribute to
that great soldier which has vet APP
peared. While he presents new and
most interesting pictures OF each OF
his characters, his chapter on Thomas
is the masterpiece OF the book. Every
friend of Thomas will cordially thank
the author. Allwho watch the course
OF pending controversies over our war
history will await with interest the
stir which the volume is sure TO make.

kind. The lady had, in what was evi.

ed him to accompany her to another
part OF the house, and he deemed it
altogether best to follow. Suddenly
he found that she had led him out up.
on the roof of the house. Once there,
she calmly insisted upon leaping to the
ground, and taking him with her. He
struggled to save himself and her, and
as her frenzy gave her unusual strength,
the gentleman found his task a very
hard one. When at last he succeeded
in getting her off the roof and into a
place Of safety, he was rather more
dead than alive, so great was his ex.
haustion and excitement. Perhaps
he might have saved himself the strain
if he had exhibited the presence oil
mind that was once shown by a friend
OF the mad English poet, Nathaniel
Lee, who was confined in Bedlam. The
friend visited him there, and found
him apparently restored to reason.
Lee showed him the institution, +"
and finally led him out on the roof.
Then the poet seized him by the arm,
and quietly but firmly remarked!
Come, let us immortalize ourselves
by leaping off this roof" He meant
1t, and was strong enough to carry
the other with him. By all means let

friend; "but any fool could jump down;

That would make us famous" The
maniac was taken with the idea, and
they went down; but Lee never got up

Origin of Oscillation.

le "British Apollo" when .s.,.ed
why kissing was SO popular, what its
benefit, and who it's inventor, replied:
"Ah, madame, had you a lover you
would not come to Apollo TOR a solu-
ton; since there is no dispute but the
kisses Of mutual lovers give infinite
satisfaction. AS to it's invention it is
certain that nature was it's author,
and it began with the first courtship. !"
1t seems difficult to conceive of a time
when kissing was unknown in.this isl.
and, and yet a Scandinavian tradi.
ton states that kissing was first in
troduced into England by Rowena the
beautiful daughter of Hengist. In Ed
ward the Tvs. reign it was usual for a
guest, both on his arrival and at his
departure, to kiss his hostess and all
the ladies of her family Again, in
Henry's time, when Cavendish visited
a French nobleman at his own chat
eau, the mistress Of the house at the
head OF her maldens thus greeted him:
"E'or as much as We be an Englishman,
whoss custom it is in your country to
kiss all ladies and gentlewomen with
out offense, and although it be not SO
here in this realm, yet will I be so
bold as to kiss you, and so shall all
my maidens." Erasmus, grave and
staid scholar as he was, writes en-
Enthusiastically ofthe practice "Ifyou
go to any place you are received with
a kiss by all; if you depart on jour

return-kisses are exchanged; they
come to visit you-a kiss the first
thing; they leave you-you kiss them
all round. Do they meet you any
where-kisses in abundance. Lastly,
wherever you move, there is nothing
but kisses-and if you had but once

Ho w a Hunter Killed Deadly Reptile
While Facing Furious Tiger.

The beaters had been at work half

that the man-eater was making his
way toward the plain, hustled some
what by the volleys of stones, but
sharpening his claws and growing
defiance. In taking up our positions
it SO happened that Lieut.. Earring
ton was on my right, in line with the
mouth of the gully and not more
than twenty feet from my elbow. He
had double barreled rifle of heavy
caliber, while I had repeater. In
three or four minutes after the cry of
warning the tiger appeared in the
mouth Of the gully, head on to Far
rington, and looking him straight in
the face.
''Hold on! He's my meath shouted
the officer, as he brought his gun up,
and it became point of honor with
the rest of us to hold our fire. He
took cool and careful aim, but the
bullet simply touched the skin be-
tween the tigers ears. He dropped
like a stone, but was up in an in

mans nerves he sprang forward at
the lieutenant. In the tenth of a

and for the first time in my life nv
blood seemed to ice. harrington
stood with his left 70 OF ahead and BIS
right foot braced, and as the tiger
touched the ground for his last
spring the rifle spoke again, and the
beast rolled over with a bail through
his brain. Then, while we all kept
our places like so many blocks of
stone, he dropped his rife, seized the
snake just below the head with his
right hand, and came walking to-
ward us. The serpent Wrlthed and
twisted about in his rage, and as it
uncoiled itself from the man leg he
flung it thirty feet away. It was
rushing back at him, when one of the
party with a shotgun at his shoulder
blew it's head off.
Good shot, remarked Earring
ton, as he walked back and picked
up his rife.
We ran after him and shook his
hand and shoWered unstinted praise
on him for his nerve, but he would
not be a hero. ItWas the presence
OF the serpent. which was OF a highly
poisonous species, which had dis.
turbed his first aim. He felt it under
his foot. and realized that it's bite
meant death, but q maddened tiger
was before him, and he did not give
the snake a.second thought.

B As the King of Wurtemburg has a
wife, [ don't suppose that he will be
asuicided. : But you may look for
ward to his being obliged either to
abdlcate or retire to a madhouse.
He is imbued with the idea that
thrones were made for kings, and not
kings for thrones. Being fond of his
case, OF retirement, and of the socie-
ty of a few American mediums
smart fellows all-he is satisfied
with drawing his salary and helping
them to make fortunes. All that is
saved by cutting down expenses goes
to the Americans, one OF whom has
got hold of the old Chelsea and
WedgWood ware-to say nothing of
the pictures by famous English art
lists, which one of the prineesses roy
al OF England brought with her into
Wurtemburg.
The Bismarckian journals are begin
ming to proclaim King Charles I'M
Worthiness to head a state. They
talked exactly as they did when it
was resolved to place the late King of
Bavaria under the care of maddox
tors and keepers. Some of the at
tacks are wholly based upon the
virtual abdication of King Charles,
who leach year retires more and
more into solitude, lives away from
his capital and hides himself from his
subjects"
The kings of Wortemburg were,
from the first of the line who owed
his royal title to Bonaparte, poor
creatures. Prince Napoleon's grand
father was a stingy boor, unaniable
IN all his private relations and gross
IN his pleasures, which he managed
to take without spending money. He
became, as he advanced in life, a.
"Falstaf in corpulency, and was
nicknamed the 'Two-legged Spider
because the limbs remained thin and
long. When his daughter Catharine
was betrothed to Jerome Bonaparte
her royal father gave her a home
made trousseau, the materials for
which cost $llO, and 5000 in her
pocket when she was setting out for
Paris. She gave the latter to the
Charity Board soon after she got
there, Napoleon having decided to
give her So, 600 worth Of clothes and
jewels. As she was very sensitive,
Napoleon told her that French ladies
were so bigoted to their own fashion
as to expect all foreign princesses
who married French princes to wear
nothing they brought with them.
Her son, the present Prince Napoleon,
inherits the pounding, awkward gait
which won for him The nickname. of
"Plon-Plon'' from his Wurtemburg
grandsire. The second Kingof Wur-
temburg was the father Of the late
Queen Of Holland, the first wife of
the now dying Dutch King William.
She was halfsister to King Charles.
the third and reigning monarch of
the dynasty who is now the cause of
all the trouble in his kingdom. The
Queen of Wurtemburg is the Russian
Grand Duchess olga, a daughter of
the Emperor Nicholas Of Russia,
grandfather Of the present Car. She
has no children and a nephew is the
heir to the throne.

EVERGREENS FOR THE FARM.
Useful for WindbreaKs About the
Barn and Other Buildings.


The severe storms of the past few
winters have set a great many people to
thinking about planting evergreen
windbreaks as a protection for farm
buildings, cattle yards, etc. Medium
sized evergreenS, that is, those two to
four feet high. are expensive to buy,
costly in freight and difficult to handle
without more or less loss. If of
native seedlings taken up in the
northern wood the loss is sure
to be heavy. spite of the best
care. If from well-managed nursery
stock, the liability to loss is great, since
if the roots once become dry their vital
ity is destroyed, says the Western Tree
Planter. The writer has had consider
able experience in growing cyergreens
for ornament and wind-breaks, which
he believes will be of value to his read
erS. The most satisfactory results have
been obtained by purchasing small

eryman, III filling an order for 1000 ev-

seedlings involves the expenditure of
