The item in TIE GAZETTE yesterday +,
held for the purpose of pushing work on
the Dallas, Archer and Southeastern
road was the subject o; much talk in the
city. and the general expression was that
Fort Worte had better be on the que
vive, and look out for flank movements
from the enemy. One gentleman, and
he is wide-awaka one too, remarked TO
a GAZETTE reporter:
"Fort Worth has enemies In the camp

out. There are men here who are
against us, and are working against Fort

leaders it is time for them to show up; If
we have not, then lets lind leaders who
will go to the 'front.'

MicrO-OrganIsnls.

The remarkable fact was discovered
that in canals and rivers the micro-organ-
isms slowly subside. The water Of the
Thames yielded 500 colonies per drop
near the surface, and 1850 colonies per
drop close to the bottom. At Sunbury
there were found in a sample which was
taken above some black mud no less
than $50, 900 colonies per drop. But in
the sea water round the coast of England
the organisms are more numerous near
the surface. Samples taken off the old
pier at Brighton in July were found to
yield 730 colonies per drop near the sur
face, and only 10 at the bottom. The
water supplied to London by the Middle
sex and Grand Junction companies varied
in purity according to the season. In
May drop contained germs, in July
40, and in November 3. These are re-
markable facts.--New York Telegram.

Tho early settlers of Illinois hunted
deer not only to obtain venison, but to
protect their corn. The deer would cat
the corn from the cob without tearing
off the husk or breaking down the stalks,
so that what looked like fine field of
corn might yield scarcely kernel.
The hunters usually went on horse
back, and when a deer was killed, it was
a common practice to tie it to the horses
tail, and in this manner drag it home.
A story which is told of Nicholas Jones
is rather remarkable one, but is con-
firned by old settlers in Money Creek,
Ills.
Mr.. Jones was one day ON hunt N
the timber, and shot deer in the neck
and stunned it. Not having a butcher
knife, he neglected to kill it, but tied it
to his mares tail and started homeward.
He had gone only a few steps across
Money creek, when his mare stopped,
and Jones felt jerk.
Looking around, he saw that the buck
had come to life. and at that moment
was trying to gore the mare with its
antlers. lie whipped the mare into a
gallop, and did not allow her to slacken
her pace for an instant all the way
home, for fear Of those menacing horns
in the rear. Z
A farm wagon stood in his clearing
near the house. He ran the horse in
circle around the wagon, shouting mean
while to his wife: "Jane, Jane, fetch the
butcher knife, the butcher knifep'
Jane was afraid to approach very
near, and Jones dared notstop just then,
so the race around the wagon continued.
At length the deer's horns became en-
tangled in the wagon wheel, and the
huntsman was quick to seize the adj
vantage, and quickly dispatched the
buck.-Youth's Companion.

CHRISTMAS IN OLD ENGLAND.


Christmas in merry old England, though no
longer marked by the presence of the boar's
head crowned with holly at the feast, or the
yule log, save in those old houses where the
width of the fireplace will permit the continu-
ance of this custom, is nevertheless now, as of
old, season of merrymaking, of family gath
ering of feasting to-day and regrettng to-mor-
row. of oyereatng generally. A day for chill
dren, for games, for music, in the evening, wind
ing up with Sir Roger de Coverly, danced by
young and old under the mistletoe and holly.

customs, even to the turkey and plum pudding,
which on that day reigns supreme.

eyes, certainly, we have that as well, though
it is by no means the important feature of the
table, which Americans generally imagine to be
the case With us it is as customary to serve
roast beef some time during the course of the
day as 1t is to have tea at o'clock. Many of
the servants in England are so superstitious that
they will not remain in house where beef is
not served every day, for they consider day
without it would mean day OF disaster to the es-
tablishment. For many weeks before Christ
mas every one is busy in the preparation of their
gifts, for the interchange of such things is very
general, though | think, save in families of
wealth. 1t is customary to select for this occa-
sion things of a useful nature Where there are
a very important operation, but in this l think
the American plan by far the best. We have a
stupid fashion in England when we have tree
of putting everything on instead of placing the
the things beneath it on a table near by. The
consequence is that many of the pretty gifts are
spoiled by the dripping of hot wax from the
lighted tapers, The tree is kept as a surprise
until Christmas Eve, when the doors of the
room are suddenly thrown open and from the
darkness shines out the beautiful tree, and the
children troop in, followed by their elders and
such young friends as have been asked in for
the evening. After the distribution of presents
games are introduced, the fayorite being snap
dragon. This is large bowl of brandy carried
into dark room lighted, and every one then in
turn tries their success at picking from the
sheet of blue flame one or more of the raisins
which plentifully bestrew its surface Christ
mas morning, when the family enters the
breakfast-room, it is to find neatly piled at each
place such gifts as have fallen to their share,
and in consequence the meal is most pleasant
one, for every one is good-humored and inclined
to look at the world through rose-colored spec
tacles. After church the family return for hot
luncheon at o'clock, This meal generally in
eludes roast beef and mince pies, which are
served as a separate course, and are made in tho
form of small, round tartlets instead of the
large pie customary in America.

to give to each man a small measure of schnapps
which is relished accordingly, Early in the

Such a thing as the giving of presents on
