Starving Farmers.

Dry, hot winds in portions of the extreme

have played havoc with the crops, and
farmers are reduced To eating field rodeDts,

A Foreign Baron Sells Papers and
Gets a Bride.

A Foreign Baron Sells Papers and
Gets a Bride.
For several days past people in this
city have noticed in the early morn
ings at the market on Military plaza
and on the streets, small man,
poorly dressed and as poorly washed
and cleaned; who is armless on his
right side and almost destitute of
"man's glory and woman's shame"
except for small tufL on his chin
and suspicion of mustache on his
upper lip. His occupation has been
to sell the morning paper, and the
afternoon papers he sells about the
hotels and on the streets. This
.iewsboy has a pedigree, it
seems, or at least he claims to have
had noble blood infused into his veins
by his ancestors, and he also lays
claim to the title of Baron of Cuts
chenka. His name is WenZetlars
Alexander Szndzki, and perhaps this
was so "schwer," as to somewhat di-
minish his growth. He would have
kept on selling the papers of this city
perhaps until he had amassed enough
money to have bought West End
block, il the un fortunate circumstance
ofthe exposure of his domestic relations
had not been, like another celebrated
case this week, made. County Judge
Wurzbach received information that
he had taken from her widowe d
mother in Sweet Home, Texas, a II
year old girl named Martha Koch,
The girl saw Judge.Wurzbach and
said the baron had seduced her on
promise of marriage and brought her
to San Antonio. She mad nothing to
eat and no clothes to wear and
wanted to leave him. After this she
went back to him and again began
living in adultery with him in a
house on Acequia street.
This did not satisfy Judge WurZ-
bach, county judge, and learning that
the girl wanted the baron to marry
her, he caused the affidavit for seduc-
ton to be made a few days ago before
Justice Heron, and the man was ar
rested. This morning he sta ted his
willingness to marry the girl, and the
judge saw to it personally and giving
his consent as probate judge, the
girl being under legal age and having
no GUARDIAN the wedding took place
this morning and one stain, at least,
on the morals of San Antonio, was eff.
| faced from the court records, and an
other American girl can now say with
| pride (?) that she married title and
is a baroness.

Old Age and Gardening.

EX-Vice President Hannibal uamlin
is at Bangor, he. lie is 81 years Old
and was vice president 50 long ago that
the present generation need to be told
that it was during Lincoln's first term.
The old gentleman is in fall vigor of
health and mind. He walks fifteen
miles day frequently. The pride and
delight of his present existence is won
derful orchard and garden in which he
works with his own hands and rears
marvellous flowers and fruits.
There is something peculiarly attrac-
tive in this serene, bright sunset to one
of the busiest lives of the century. The
storm and excitement are past, and the
old man tends his lilies and roses and
gathers great luscious pears in the sun
shine and blue air.
1t is the ideal close Of long and busy
life. Englishmen know it. When one
of them approaches old age and has won
a competency he retires to house and
garden in the country. He was cheated
out of life with nature, in the open air,
during his early years Of struggle, and
now he makes up for it. He communes
reverently with the sublime mother. he
watches the green things grow, he lis
tens to voices that he did not hear in the
heat Of the strife, and is happy. We seem
somehow to drift naturally back to the
earth at last.
If any life could fit man for heaven,
after he has deserved we'll of mankind, it
is this. The old Greek and Roman philos-
ophers recognized that and betook them
selves to groves and villas in the coun-
try Our American men viii recognize
it too, in course Of time, and as they APP
preach the philosophical age will learn
to retire gracefully and give the younger
men a chance, while they themselves sip
that elixir Of youth that outdoor life has
for all Of natures children.
