THE Texas Iron News goes to sea
in the same old boat with all the rest
of the Bourbons, and in company with
the Arkansas Gazette the News says:
'The Arkansas Gazette hits the
nail squarely on the head when it
says: "A long step toward solving
the race problem will have been ia
ken when the negro shall have learn
that he is a negro, and that human
legislation cannot remove mental and
physical distinctions and attributes
conferred by God Almighty.'
Correct you are, but legislation can
and does remove political disabilities
and this is just what republican leg
islation in congress has done in the
case of the colored man-made him
a citizen and given him political
rights as a eitizen-and this is just
what the democrats are mad about.
WHERE industrial enterprise CEN
tiers and southern men come in direct
contact with the business brains and
Industry of northern capital change
In their sentiments on the subject Of
negro assassination is Immediately
apparent. Concerning the late Louisi-
ana outrages the Birmingham Age
says:
''There is no good citizen in the
south who will not condemn these
outrageS i'll unmeaSured terms. The
good people of Louisiana are humilia-
ted that such things should occur and
the press of that state denOunces them
as it should. But to put the state in
q proper attitude before the outside
world something more than empty
denunciation will be required. These
"regulatorsn must be punished. The
hanging of the men who murdered
the old negro and his daughter would
Vindfcate Louisiana and the south,
and the best sentiment in this section
demands that no effort be spared to
bring them to justice"
This is the proper sentiment. Lei
such sentiments prevail and let action
backing up such sentiments follow
and negro assassination and terrori
cation would cease and the south
would be, of all places, the most de
sirable for the employment and in
vestnent Of industrial capital.

Two Boys K1LLED.-A foolhardyl expert
ment of two lads of mechanical turn OF
mind resulted In both boys being killed on
Saturday in Philadelphia. The dead boys
were Harry and William Gerser, and they
we're constantly employing their spare time
running small engine. For few days
past they had been generating steam In an
old range boiler, which shey had set up in
q corner of the yard under shed. Steam
was conveyed from the boiler by pieces of
gas pipe, while a small brick furnace was
arranged under the boiler, where the boys
had kindled hot FIRE. Henry, who owned
the engine. which was about eighteen inches
long, had stated his intention to attach the
engine to the family ice cream freezer,
and do away with hand turning. With
that in mind the lads conducted their ex
pertinent Saturday. While Harry was oil
Ing the engine and William was banking up
the fire with brick there was terrific ex-
ploson, which was heard for squares around.
Harry was thrown with great force against
a fence and instantly killed. His legs and
arms were broken, and one side of his bead
was terribly crushed. William was thrown
further under the shed, and flying brick
struck him in the head, frecturing the skull;
both his legs were frightfuly crushed. He
died In about an hour. Little Henry
Kniese, who was watching the experiment
from a shed, was cut under the eye, and
Mrs Flora. Kniese was severely scalded about

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
THE GAZETTE, chronologicaIly,
is IN the NINETIETH year of its ex-
istence, and is not only the oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness of
its years, it has kept, and will CON
tlnue to keep, abreast of The times
in all that pertains to a NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with
perfect mirror of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan
tage of and used for the benefit of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given tomat-
ters concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
The best interests of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
7ocate what is believed to be right,
ust, honest and patriotic.
With a view to the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ssted, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
oorts are acknowledged by all to
De faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts Of the coun-
ry where Virginians have located,
here will the GAZETTE generally
,e found, and thus as an advertis-
ng medium it has few equals out
ide the large cities.
In the household, counting room
nd workshop it is an ever-welcome
'isitor, acceptable alike 10 old and

Getting Money and Stamps by Fraud.

An old gentleman with bent form and
watery eyes wandered about in the vicinity
of the postotfice with an envelope in his
hand addressed to Marie Maroniski, Phila-
delphia, Pa" At intervals he would stop
pedestrians and ask for two cents to buy a
stamp so that, as he said, he could send his
letter to his daughter in Philadelphia, at the
same time showing the envelope. He got
either money or stamp very frequently,
but both money and stamps went into
pocket. One man asked to see the envelope,
and on getting it held it up to the sun.
There was no paper in it. When the old
man got his envelope back from this man he
shufiled around to the Broadway side Of the
building New York Sun

This Rooster Ii Cute.

Charlie Doherty, of Greensboro, Ga, has a
remarkable rooster. This rooster has been in
need of roosting place, but, being short on
wing, has been unable to fly high enough to
be beyond the reach of strolling night pedes-
TRANS. As a consequence he has been forced
to some fowl engineering. In the court house
yard there is huge tree and up this tree he
easily climbs just at DARK. How he accom-
plishes it is a mystery, but doubling ones can
see him pulling up the tree every evening.

Gesture and Facial Expression.

Gesture has been brought almost to a
science in the French schools of acting. 1t
has been argued out and reduced to positive
rules which are most useful to know, and give
great resource of action alike to actor and
reciter. Thus it is that gesture is thing
that may be actually studied and taught.
Facial expression, in less degree, is also
matter of ascertained rule. 1t has, SO to
speak, been brought to book. Darwin has
written and Lavater has delineated. English
people who have to cultivate these natural
expressions of drama should surely not neg
Iect such means of study. For we are not,
as nation, gifted with the speech of gesture
or of the face. The Frenchman's hand is
often distinct feature, ineligible and elo-
quent The Englishman's, as a rule, is only
a development Of the paw, and rarely sec
snds his words with anything more than mere
emphasis.
The immobility of the ordinary English
face has been often noted and confessed We
are nothing if not dignified; and significant
gesture and very expressive play of feature
are not thought, it would seem, to be very
desirable things on this side of the channel.
We prize highly the excellent virtue of reti-
cence. Then, too, we are almost inconven-
iently alive TO the ludicrous; and in our
searching and ruthless criticism of others and
of ourselves, we naturally find the pleasant
est thing on the whole in all personal matters
is self restraint. We have our reward We
also pay the price. And we pay it, in one
way, in the conspicuous stiffness of action
and in the set conventionality of our faces
1t is true that English men and women have
often the grace that comes from athletic
training, but this is personal rather than sig
nificant, and finds its best expression in the
field, ON the river, across country. over the
highland moor, or up the mountain side

TO A LOST LOVE.

Icannot look upon rh5 grave,
Though there the rose Is sweet;
Better to hear the long waves wash
These wastes about my feet
Shall take comforts dost thou live
A spirit, though afar,
With deep hush about thee, like
The silence round starr
Or dost fulfill upon the wind
Some heavenly behestI
But wherefore, then, this loneliness,
More awful than unrestI
No, l should feel thee like fire,
Should know If thou vert near!
Couldst thou pass by me like the wind
And not start and hear?
Nayl-if / knsw thee thus-thy laugh,
Thy look, thy charm, thy tone,
Thy sweet and hayward earthliuess,
Dear trivial things, are gone.
All, God! when life hath lost its fire,
LIES age to thee may bow
When we can only laugh at love-
But ahi not now-not nowl
Therefore look not on thy grave,
Though there the rose is sweet;
But rather here the long waves was
These wastes about my feet
S. Phillips In Temple Bar
