REMARKS ON THE FOREGOING.

A few words only will suffice MS to
the first half of the above. Citizen is
evidently very strong partisan OF
the Coronal Institute. In asking
why that institution cannot educate
the free school pupils he begs the
question. His controversy here is
with the constitution and laws of the
State OF Texas, and we believe, of
every other state in Union. which ex-
clude sectarian or denominational
schools from any share in the public
school fund. Nor is there any Just
ground for complaint in regard to
this. The state spreads her education
Al table free to all her children AXE,
and invites them to share her bounty.
II any part of them decline the invi-
tation and stand aloof on the Il am
boiler than thou" principle, the State
i surely not TO blame. II is their
privilege to indulge in any "close
communion arrangement they sec
rroper. but II 30 they must pay the
miner. IfCoronal Institute bad con
timed on the line On which il was
s,sr.e1 bv its founder, Prof Holiing-
srorth. Il would no doubt be the
had centre Of the public schools Of
Gan Marcos. Bot instead q was

1t is reported that the president contem-
plates taking the whole south front, first
floor of the state department building for his
executives Offices and establishing rou-
tine Office hours there. Such a plan
would give the president of the United
States u privilege which the humblest en-
ployes OF the government have, but which
the chief executive does not possess-the
right to enjoy his own home. The clerks in
some OF the smallest divisions Of the state
department have more room and more con
veniences than tho clerks at the executive
mansion.
Half the town Of Cheney, on the Northern
Pacific, sixteen mile west of Spokane Falls,
was destroyed by fire. The fire started on the
sidewalk in the rear Of j. D. Mathews gro
cory. Some person threw coal oil on the
back door, then built a fire or the sidewalk.
When the fire was discovered and an alarm
given, hose was run from the tower wells,
but as soon as the pumps began working the
hose burst in many places. 1t was then dis
covered hat the nozzle of the hose was plug
ged with q piece of wood. Over an hour was
lost in getting new hose, the fire in the mean
time burning fiercely under q high wind. Six
blocks were completely destroyed. The
buildings, except one, were all frame. The
loss is estimated at $35O.OOO: Insurance
only 100000, as the rate was 10 per cent.

Record of Casualties.

Patrick McTamDey, IN old switchmen in
the Pennsylvania railroad yards at Jersey
City, sprang in front of a train to save the
lite Of u little boy who had wande red upon
the trackto pick mp cinders, and though he
succeeded in pushing the child out of danger,
he fell beneath the wheels himself and was
torn to pieces. He leaves a widow and seven
children in DOOR circumstances.
During the fearful storm which ragged
throughout Kansas, q barn was blown to
pieces six and one-half miles southeast of
Wellington, and some of the timbers were
driven by the force of the wind clear through
the North side OF the house, one of which
struck and fatally injured a Mr.. HACKER,
who with his family, occupied it. Three
hours later the man died. The accident was
u peculiarly sad one. The family came to
Summer county from the West last fall,
about starved out. When the storm came
up Hacker aroused his vile, who is abont to
be confined, and four children, and was hur.
rying them out of the room when the debris
struck the house. He being the last to leave,
was struck just on the threshold. The house
was instantly flooded with water, and for an
hour the storm ragged with unabated fury,
during which the women and children went
through a time that tried their souls.

Digging for Water.

1.-THE gift of God!" cries the water
carrier of Carlo. The traveller in
the desert recalls that cry, when his
water-skins are empty, and his guides
scan the horizon to detect signs of
water. Mr.. James describes, in his
narratives of travels through "The
Unknown Horn of Africa" the excite
ment in his caravan when runners
reported that the Hodayu pans were
dry and sun-baked, but that water
might be obtained by digging.
They had been marching nine days
from the wells at Burao, and during
the last three days each man had
been limited to apint ofwater a day.
Eight men were sent as an advance
guard to dig into the pans, that on
it's arrival the caravan might find
water. 49,.
But men and camels, when they
reached the pans, saw only liquid
mud in the holes the sixteen hands
had scooped out. Everyinstrument
which could be worked as q spade
was served out. Thirty men dug in
earnest.
Within an hour twenty wells had
q thin surface of dark fluid everything
liquid mud. This continued rising
until some of the wells contained a
foot of water. 1t was greedily sucked
down. As soon as one we'll was ex-
bausted, another was started.
The work was exciting and ex-
hausting. The result was in one
well athin layer of oily water, in an
other a foot's depth of fluid.
The digging had to be conducted
with care, for if the sand below the
mud was exposed, it Immediately
sucked up,every drop of water col
lected above it. All. dayand all night
the well-digging was continued, until
the thirst of men, camels, mules and
horses had been partly satisfied.

A dice-shaking game has been go

<" --t
A dice-shaking game has been 60
ing on for some time past in a small
Southern town, and q saloonkeeper
has been sweeping the shekels into
his pocket, much to the dismay Of
the participants in the game. It
came to a sudden close, however,
the other day when a%constable came
in and examined the table upon
which the dice.shaking was going on,
and found that under the cover there
was a steel plate which was connect
ed with an electric battery beneath,
and a current from which could be
applied whenever the saloonkeepeg
wished to shake high by pressing his
knee against knob. The dice were
loaded and worked very well without
the battery, but when the current
was applied the skies came out on
top every time. It vas quite an in
genions contriVanee, and paid the
saloonkeeper well for his trouble.

The mail route between Woodstock
and Bridgewater, VT, a distance of
six miles, appears to be a star route
that does not need q Congressional
Investigation, but does deserve some
notice. For the last four years it
has cost Uncle Sam only 4 cents for
q daily mail service on this route,
and for the ensuing four years 1 cent
is to pay for the same service. If
warrants r drawn quarterly they
will call for only one-sixteeDth of a
cent each, and the contractor will
have to wait four years. or until he
has received 16 warrants, before he
can draw his cash. William Billings,
who is believed by his friends to have
seen more years of stage-driving
than any other man now living, is to
carry the mail over this route.

Still there is no news OF the 700 passengers
and crew of the ~waterlogged and possibly
sunken steamship Danmark. Nevertheless,
the agents continue to hope, though they
have nothing more to base their hopes on
that some sailing vessel has picked the peo-
pie off the Eanmark andihas landed them at
the Azores.
A New York World cable has q scandalous
story about Clinton P. Ferry, who is called a
millionaire from Washington Territory to
the Paris exhibition. He is said to have had
q row with his wife over her alleged infdelity
with q young Frenchman, in which she broke
one of his fingers, and bit his nose nearly of.
None Of the Washington Territory. people
know anything about Ferry: and it is not
believed that he can be SO prominent in the
territory as the dispatch represents. Moth
ing is known of him at the state depart
ment, which disclaims responsibility for state
commissioners to the exhibition, who are
appointed by the governor and have no
official connection with the government.

Some Old Fashions Revived.

There is at present a revival of old
fashions steadily going on. Popular
favor has returned to many Of the
customs Of early times and our
homes are rapidly assuming an air
of the past. Fl.
The old spinning wheel has re-
turned from exile and forms a COZ.
spicuous and interesting ornament
in our homes.
Quaint old tapestries, rugs and
articles Of furniture have been re-
stored~to deserved popularity.
There is a reason for this revival.
b. Our assessors were of the sub
stantial kind and their tastes were
accordingly marked.
They looked to their personal
comfort and when it was attained
they stopped.
Fashions foibles had no charm for
them and in mind and person they
were the equal of any people the
world has yet seen.
Quick inperception and accurate in
Judgment, they soon detected the
cause of any physical discomfort and
as quickly applied the proper means
for the removal of it.
Conspicuous among some of the
old fashions recently revived has been
the reproduction ofsome Of ourgrand-
mothers early time home cures,
which are now holding a deserved
position in popular favor, under the
name of Warmers Log Cabin RENE
dies and includes a Sarsaparilla for
the blood, Hops and Buchu for the
stomach and system, Cough Rene
dy for colds, Extraction internal or
external pain, Hair Tonic, Rose
Cream for. catarrh, Plasters and
Pills.
For purity, simplicity andfor their
genuine beneficial properties they
are unequaled and are worthy of our
good old grandmothers, who first
produced them.
May there be a revival, by their
use, of the good health and long
lives of early times!
