The two greatest frauds upon the
people in the way of raising a revenue
are the whisky tax and the sugar tar
iff. But then you know you are not
obliged to use either. You can live
without both. They are not actual
necessaries, and if you use them you
must be unduly taxed to tighten the
taxes of other men. So it is clothing.
Down here in our moderate Texas
climate there are eight months of the
year, during which eight yards of six
cent domestic would supply a man
with all the clothes he actually needs
as necessary of life. He would be
as stout and bawny clothed in three
yards of domestic as in twenty-five
dollar suit. If he wears more, make
him pay somebody else's taxes. This
is a country of the widest personal
liberty, provided man pays roundly
for it.-Corsicana (Tex.) Exponent.
The Texas democratic papers are
terribly wrought up over the fact that
Colonel w. w. Dudley was not arrest
ed when he returned to Indianapolis,
because he wrote the famous five
blocks" order to vote the democrats
that had to be looked after by trusty
republican agents. Indiana is dem
ocratic state, hence to carry it repub-
lican we had to buy up lot of demo-
Gratis in "blocks of five" The same
thing is claimed of New York, it's a
democratic state, but the democrats
will sell their votes, and we have so
little respect for a democrat that we
buy him just as we used to buy Sam
DO; it don't count to buy a democrat
if Colonel Dudley bought thousand
"blOcks of five" of this political mer-
chandise it was no offence.

$flttt Qottrp,
THE ENDLESS PROCESSION.

Down the vista of the ages,
Saints and sinners, fools and sages,
Marching onward, slow and solemn,
Go, in never.ending column;
Here the honest, here the knave;
With rhythmic step sublime,
In the grave.
Like the rolling of river,
Going Oh and on forever,
Never resting, never staying,
Never for On instant straying,
Peer and peasant, lord and slave,
EQUALS soon to mix and mingle
In the grave.
Duty cannot, nor can pleasure,
For moment break the measure;
They are marching on to doom,
They are moving to the tomb,
All the coward, all the braye,
Soon to level all distinction
In the grave.
Since the morning Of creation,
Without break or termination,
Eyer on the line is moving,
All the loved and the loving,
All that mothers ever gaye-
On to silence and to slumber
IN the grave.
Here no bride the bond can weaken,
Here no substitute is takeu;
Each one for himself-no other,
Son or father; no, nor brother;
Love the purest cannot save;
Each alone the roll must answer
In the grave.
Who commands the dread procession
That shall know no retrogression?
Who can be the great director!
Ha, that grim and silent spector,
Him that sin to satan gave;
Death, the mighty king and terror,
And the grave.

DENNIS.

1t was the match OF the season.
Mamma had made it. I held the lines
but it was she who did the angling, she
upon whom all the congratulation
received rebounded.
Isuppose it was matter upon which
she felt much as successful general
who has led his forces through u bril-
liant but hazardous engagement.
1 was but eighteen, scrcely yet fairly
launched upon the sea of society when
Dennis Worford met and loved me.
Did l say love? Rather saw in me q
woman whom he could mould to his
will, who would adorn his table. and
whose blood was equal to his own. The
fortune, the sole thing wanting in her,
he could munifciently furnish. There
fore, the altar on which was to be made
the royal sacrifice was at least made
worthy.
Did the fact that, in the first moment
of my introduction to Mr.. Worford, l
read in mammals eye that she had
singled him out as a matrimonial VIC
tim, to be dragged in triumph at her
maternal chariot, bring blush of shame
to my cheek? Surely, with his thirty
years experience, so eligible a fish in
the matrimonial waters should have
learned to elude many skillfully bait.
ed hook.
The wedding artfully hastened to a
consummation. Indeed, it was Mr..
Worford's wish that our engagement
should be made rs short as possible.
Ny dress was exquiaitely lovely-the
last with which dear mamma need
provide me.
1 fancied Mr.. Worford at the last
moment only fully recognized the i'm
portance to the step he was about to
take-he looked so white and stern as
he awaited me on the altar steps. to
receive me from the hands of my guar.
dian.
The church was thronged with a
brilliant assemblage; the fragrance OF
choice flowers, the fash of jewels, the
futter of fans, mingled with the soft,
rich notes of the organ, and the music
ally modulated tones of the clergyman.
Then all was over, and taking nay hus-
bands arm l swept down the aisle, amid
whisper of admiring envy.
Dennis handed me into the carriage
with ceremonious politeness, and / sank
back among its cushions, grateful for
the darkness and rest.
Once he made motion to throw his
arm about me, but l drew back.

1t was summer when we returned
from our trip abroad, and after few
days rest in New York, we went imme.
diately to our countryseat on the beau,

ness which had surrounded me all these
months, and with which he thought to

view with Pigott. Lewis. solicitor
for Parnell, testified that he told
PIgott the letters not being negotiable,
he could not be prosecuted
for OBTAINING money under false pretences.
Witness declared he had not promised
Pigott 4 farthing. Lsbouchere testified he
never offered Pigott 1000 II he would

Sir Charles Russell applied 10 the court
to exercise Its discretion under the commits

Russell had stated that there was q foul
conspiracy behind Houston and Pigott

finished before the report was framed.
