would have nothing to do with it. That
seemed odd; for people are not in the
habit of throwing away three-quarters of
million of money. Just then person
appeared on the scene who affirmed that
this man was not the person he repre-
sented himself to be at all, but an I'M
poster. That seemed possible in one way;
in the other way, an impostor would be
the last man in the world whom one
would expect to let great property slip
between his fingers. My English friend
was puzzled; but he knew that this mys-
FERROUS gentleman had lately been in
New York, and it occurred to him that
it might be good plan to come on here
and see if he could learn anything more
about him.
Nov, it so happens that have an &C
quaintance in Mexico who makes point
of knowing what goes on there, and
whenever he hears of anything that he
thinks might interest me he drops me a
line, or sends telegram, if there is any
hurry. He had heard about this affair
speak of, and also that the mysterious
gentleman had had an interview with
some government officials, and immedi-
ately afterwards had left Mexico en- route
for the United States. He telegraphed
this information, together with the al
legged name of the mysterious gentleman.
1t was a name had heard before, and ]
had even met the gentleman himself. So,
when the steamer was announced, took
half an hour and went down to the wharf
to say good day to him. And then, Mrs.
Ketelle, curious thing happened"
He paused and fixed his eyes on her.
She sat before him with her hands tight
ly claspcd in her lap, her lips compressed
and her eyes dark with emotion.
"The gentleman whom l saw" con-
tinued the inspector, was not the one
named in the telegram, but it was an in
innate friend of his, whom had also
met before. He had, however, been re-
ported dead But seeing him alive and
well, though somewhat changed in ap-
pearance, came to the conclusion that
perhaps mistake had been made, and
that it was the friend who had died"-
But Pauline could restrain herself no
longer. She lifted her hands slightly
and let them fall again.
"He was dear friend of NINE" she
said, while the tears came into her eyes;
'he was good friend to Percy, I see
you know all, inspector; you seem to
know everythingl What are you going
to do with him?"

WITH humiliation should be noted
that almost if not entirely without ex-
ception, in the agricultural reports
being filed in our state departments,
occurs the record of so and so many
thousand pounds of bacon and lard
imported into each and every county.
They all raise and export their cotton
and corn and wheat, their cattle and
sheep-but import their bacon. Why
should such state OF things be =?
Does it pay to raise a whole store
house of corn and sell it cheap in some
foreign market, where we buy high
priced bacon? Is such a practice
true economy? Texas and every
county in it should raise abundance
of hogs at least for home consumption.
1t would be big money in the farmers
pockets in this way to dispose of their
corn. Texas is no longer unfenced
prairie lands-farmers raise your
own hogs and keep your bacon money
at home.

WEEKLY
MAJOR HOLMES LETTER.

The letter of the governors private
secretary, Major II. M. Holmes, to Col.
Wiley, of Dallas, as published in yes
terday's STATESMAN, has produced and
will continue to give rise to much good
for the Confederate Home. Coming
as it did from one who wore the blue
and addressed to his comrades in arms
during the terrible days of quarter CEN
tury ago, it summoned them to quick
action for the assistance of the unfor-
tunates among those who in the early
years of the sixth decade of our cen
fury fought like heroes and now suffer
for their heroism. The Grand Army
men of Dallas waited not to have re-
newed urging added to the persuasive
elequence OF Major Holmes letter,
but Immediately met and took
active steps to raise funds
for the Home. Major Holmes
and those generous union soldiers
deserve the thanks and gratitude of
the Home.
But such quick response on the
part of these men, who were on the
"other side" should, like an electrical
flash, awaken every ex-Confederate in
the state to action. For, shall it be
said that a Union soldier was, in the
time of need, found more ready to
help an ex-Confederate than an eX-
Confederate was to offer his comrade
in battle encouragement and succor?
Let us be grateful thrice grateful to
these generous Grand Army men.
theirs is n work of noble, whole-souled
generosity, but in the name of honor
let not the ex-Confederate be outdone
in rendering ready and ample assist
ance to his unfortunate ex-Confed-
crate comrades.

WORK FOR THE HOME COMMENDED

The Fort Worth Gazette has the
following editorial on the work of an
enthusiastic meeting of the citizens
of Walker county in the interest of
the Confederate Home. The resolu-
tons referred to contemplate state
movement in the way of yearly
state convention to keep alive enthu-
siasm on this subject, and also in
every county of the state local or
ganization. 1t is declared in the reso-
buttons these state and county or
carnations must be permanent af-
fairs to keep up constant and well
balanced interest in the home, as it
will not do to trust to sporadic and
spontaneous bursts of zeal in the
Homes behalf. The object of the
Walker county citizens is most excel
lent, its plan of action very complete.
OF their resolutions, the Gazette says
"There is always right way as well
as a wrong way to do thing. The
citizens of Walker county have chosen
the right way to aid in the building
and maintenance of Confederate
Soldiers Home. They held public
meeting and determined to appeal to
the people of Texas, and appointed Il
committee to issue an address asking
other counties to join in the move.
ment. They also determined to &C
down in their own pockets and give
financial aid and encouragement tc
the enterprise.
The address of the committee will
be found reproduced elsewhere il
these columns. 1t is a plain state
ment OF the facts, and a patriotic APP
peal to the people of the south to take
care of those battle-scarred veteran.

ago, poured out their blood for princi

by my advice that he kept in hiding. If
he were arrested here it would ruin his
position in Mexico, even if he were re-
leased again Immediately"
"Now, Mrs. Ketelle, let us understand
each other" said the inspector, becoming
grave and business like. "You asked
me, year ago, to clear the memory of
your brother, whom you believed to be
dead, of the stain that had been put
upon it, by discovering and Furnishing
the real perpetrator of the crime he wa
accused of. l told you that would do
what / could, and have kept my word
By and by you discover that your brother
is not dead after all, and is in New York
Don't you think it would have been a
kind and courteous act on your part to
have come to me and told me of it?"
"He is my brother" was her reply
81 could think of nothing before his well
fare. have told no one that he is here
or that he is alive-not even my mother
nor my husband. | know that you are
an officer of the law, and that when you
saw your duty you would have no choice
but to execute it. | hoped that the real
criminal would be found. and so all turn
out right"
81 don't know as ought to expect you
to care more for the law than you do for
your brother" remarked the detective,
stroking his chin; land perhaps should
feel complimented that you expected the
real criminal, as you call him, to be
tracked and captured out Of hand. But
America is a large place, and the po-
police have number of things to look
after; and. as you know. it is one thing
to suspect a man, and another to convict
him. AS to Mr.. Percy Nolen, will only
say, at present. that l have thought it
sufficient to keep one eye on him; his ar
rest is not necessary at this stage Of the
proceedings"
81 thank you, Inspector Byrnes," Pau
line said, whether you considered me in
your action or not. But have you heard
nothing of-of Horace DupeeY
The inspector raised his head and con-
templated her gravely.
80 you continue to think it was Hor-
ace Dupee who stole the money! he said
"Oh, am sure of it'll"
"But would you go on the stand today
and swear to it2"
81 could not do that" she replied re-
luctantly. II have not the evidence; /
only feel that it was he."
"Theil, if you had the evidence, it
would be all right?"
Eyes, indeed. Have you found any
thing?' she asked eagerly
"Well, that depends on what one con-
siders anything" He opened a drawer
and took out some papers. "There seems
to he reason to think that Horace Dupee
was in New York at the time the robbery
Was committed"
"Ah; knew It'll"
ut also appears that Immediately after
the robbery, he left New York and went

A GOOD joke on Secretary of the In
terror Noble has just come to light. 1t
seems that alone upon his strong and
persistent recommendation Mr.. VIM.
7. Harris was recently appointed COM
missioner of education. In former
days he was a red-hot republican, but
he experienced, with wider observation,
a change of heart. He fell in love
with Cleveland's anti-protection plat
form and warmly supported him in
the last campaign. This fact has,
when too late, been brought to Mobiles
attention and will reach the presi-
dents ear in due course of time.
What he will then have to say is mat
ter of conjecture, as it is also as to
what effect it will have on the selec-
ton of Noble for u position on the
supreme court bench. Is he man,
careful enough for that position is a
question to which now much point is
given.

THE Fort Worth Gazette sends us
the following kindly greeting: "THE
AUSTIN STATESMAN is a beauty in its
new dress, which, we are told, is not a
holiday attire but working clothes. ,"
The STATESMAN has been doing man
full and intelligent work for its city,
and while the sleepy old capital is
hard to arouse, THE STATESMAN will
persevere in well doing. The Gazette
sends its contemporary hearty con-
CALCULATIONS" Don't be too hard on
Austin. 1t does, we confess, seem a
hard struggle for her to get out of the
old rut, but she has opened her eyes
and is looking along new lines OF
progress, and being in healthy phys
ical condition, we entertain strong
hopes of her successfully pulling out
of the mire and striking good gait
along q better road and shorter cut
to advancement. At all events we
promise we will not be sparing in the
use of the goad, if milder persuasion
will not avail.

as Marriage Failure?" is a ques-
ton that has been much tossed about
the past year. Mr.. Gladstone has had
half century of experience with mar
ried life, and the hale, hearty and
contented old age of both himself and
wife would seem to furnish very
strong negative to any such PROPOSE
ton. He has lately given a very neat
formula of action which may be the
keynote of welded happiness-at
least it might be well for all married
folks to think it over. He says
Whenever my wife insists l submit ;

The st. Louis Republic gives this
account of the debts of some nations:
"Brazil has debt of nearly $500, 000,-
600, and the Argentine Republic Of
$3l0,000,000. The latter country,
however, is building railroads and
drawing immigration very rapidly.
Chili's debt is only little over $780,
100000, but considering the size and
character of her territory this looks
like pretty good load. Poor Peru
probably owes $25O,OOO,OOO. Perhaps
it is consolation to know that the
exact amount can't be determined"

Inventions and Wages.

Some paper has stated the silly
question, EDO Inventions decrease
Wages?" Certainly they do not. On
the contrary, inventions increase
wages, shorten the work day, and
decrease prices. In fact, inventions
constitute the only possible way by
which labor can be emancipated from
drudgery, long hours, and poor pay.
Inventions are increasing every year,
and wages are constantly advancing
in all countries where they are utiliz-
ed. Take calico for an example:
there are persons now living who
can remember when calico sold
at Is cents a yard. 1t now sells at
8 cents. This great reduction in
price was effected by inventions. In
the meantime, wages have in no case
fallen, but have advanced very
greatly. A days wages will buy as
much calico as a weeks wages would
fifty years ago. Calico is selected
as an example, but the same facts
are true as regards other manufac-
lures.
Any one, no matter whether a
laborer, a loafer, or capitalist. who
talks against invention talks against
one of the very greatest material
blessings that has been vouchsafed to
the world, and it is astounding that
any person can be found who is so
ignorant or so rash as to condemn
them.-Scienhfc american.
