DR. c. w. McCUNE.

Many have asked us "who is Dr. McCune, the editor of the National Economist, which proposes to die tate to the farmers of the South ?" We, as a response, give the following from the New York Tribune
 The head man of this secret, oath bound organization, however, is one Dr. C. w. McCune. He is chairman oI the executive board and also of the legislative committee. He was born in Illinois, where he studied medicine for short time. For some reason he left the State and settled in California. He did not stay there long but finally drifted down into Texas. For time this alleged doctor practised his profes- sion at small place in Mir. Mills district. He afterward went to Dal- las and was made custodian of the Farmers Alliance warehouse there, which was an enormous concern. In an unaccountable and peculiar way the establishment failed, and it's failure proved disastrous to it's pat rons. The matter is now in litiga- tion. McCune had always been a Republican, but he quickly embraced the theories of the Alliance. I sup pose that the members of the Ali ance consider that McCune's s integri- ty in the warehouse at Dallas was fully vindicated when he was made chairman of the most important con- mittee of the Alliance. McCune is the man who invents the vile reports that are sent out from Washington and who keeps the Alliance in state of frenzy by putting false coloring on every piece of legislation
 In addition to the above, Con- gressman Oats has the following to say
 "This circular has been circulated throughout this district, and it makes grave charges against me and bears no signature. l know who the author is. It is Dr. c. w. McCune, the editor of the National Economist. l am not going to take up your time telling you who he is. He has no sympathy with our people. He came to the South from Iowa just before the close of the war. He went to Texas as hospital steward to a Federal regiment and has been mak- ing his home there ever since. He wields ready pen and is the editor of the National Economist.

Up Go the Taxes.

Senator Allison is at least frank in his statement of the policy adopted by his party to prevent deficit.
 He estimates the increased reve- nue from higher taxes on tobacco at s5, ,0OO, ,000; from higher taxes on food products, 4,000,0 ,000; from higher taxes on wines and spirits, S2 ,500, ,000; from higher taxes on flax, hemp and jute, l,500, ,000 {; from higher taxes on wool and wool ems, S9,000.000, and from higher taxes on other schedules $50, ,000, ,000.
 Here is an admitted total increase of S137, ,0O0, ,000, in taxation Tn bill nominally framed to "reduce the revenues, and to relieve the people from the burdens of war which ended quarter of century ago.
 Of this amout s7 800, ,O00 only will come from the luxuries of the people wine, spirits and tobacco.
 Nearly S20, 0,000,0 ,000 extra is to be collected from the necessaries. As to the main item, the woolen sched- ule, Senator Allison makes no pre- tence that the burden will not be continuous. He ignores entirely the purpose and presumption of the Me- Kinley theory, that increased duties will reduce revenue by checking inn ports. He bluntly says that 'it is perfectly apparent that there will be practically no diminution in the im- portation of wools, at least for few years" And he coolly admits that the American people must continue to pay $40, 1000, ,000 annually in taxes upon their clothing, carpets, etc.

Confederate Reunion.

To our Comrades:
 On the suggestion of many con. federate veterans of Arkansas and Texas, we have called reunion of all confederate soldiers from any where, to meet with us at Hope on Wednesday, October p; at the grounds of the Southwestern Fail Association.
 We will welcome you as soldiers, true and tried, for there are few things in this world more touching to the heart of true man than the grasp of the hand of him who stood by you in the shock of battle.
 Our citizens will welcome you a: men who. fought for everything that is dear to honor and manhood, and who, when the struggle was over have built on the ashes of the South land, an empire of wealth and pro- gression which has no parallel in his. tory.
 Soldiers belonging to each arm ol the service are invited, and commit. tees will be on the ground to see that all are looked after.
 Most of the old veterans in this section contemplates coming in theil wagons and bivouac. It is almost certain that Gems JC Shelby and w. l.. Cabell will be witt us in this grand reunion.

Wonders of Mind Reading.

CHIcAGG, ILL,, Sept. 10.-P. Alex ander Johnstone, the mind-reader, whose peculiar powers have of late mystifed and astonished the people of Chicago, performed feat to-day which totally eclipsed all similar re- cords, at least in this city, When Bishop, the mind-reader, who met a tragic fate in New York not long ago, was here shortly before his death, he astonished everyone by finding q needle which a committee had se-

creted. Johnstone has frequently performed the same feat in western cities, and to-day his manager, w.. E. Gooding, decided to attempt the same test that resulted so fatally to Bishop in New York-that of finding a name on register and pronouncing it. A committee consisting of many well-known newspaper men and pr. J. c, Butler, drove in hack from the Auditorium Hotel to the Grand Pacific Hotel by difficult route and going to the hotel register, selected name. Leaving one committee man, Mir. Charles Lederer, in charge of the register, they returned to the Auditorium, where Johnstone had remained in custody of one of the committeeman, so that there could be no possible apparent chance of collision. They bandaged John stone's eyes securely. The sequel was astonishing. Johnstone in- stantly rushed down to the carriage and drove blindfolded to the Grand Pacific, avoiding cable cars and thousands of vehicles on the way, rushed to the register, turned the leaves rapidly, found the name and repeated 1t, giving number of page and date of month. The Grand Pa citic Hotel and adjacent streets were so packed with people that traffic was suspended. Johnstone, on his way home from the hotel, was taken with severe chill, which threw him into a cataleptic fit. His friends at first pronounced him dead, but after working over him for two hours, life was again perceptible. Tonight the mlnd reader is resting comforta- ply, but is very weak.

How thankful we should be: If living high would not give gout, How thankful we should be; IT messenger boys were only quick, II all our kids were never sick, II postage stamps we need not lick, How thankful we should be. If taxes were not quite so steep, How thankful we shonld be; If one could go to bed and sleep, How thankful we should be; If monthly bills would not fall due, If friends would stick as well as glue, If half our plans we could get through, How thankful we should be. If toothache was an unknown pain, How happy we would be; If drunken men would not raise Cain, How happy we should be; If horses never ran away, If boys were fond of work as play, If donkeys would forget to bray, How thankful we should be. If frcshlaid eggs were never stale, How thankful we should be; If ships would weather every gale, How thankful we should be; If water-pipes would never leak, If all the deaf and dumb could speak, If servant girls had much less cheek, How thankful we should be.
 Y. lfbricks from chimneys never fell, How thankful we should be; If we were sure there was no h--l, How thankful we should be; If inkstands did not get upset, If we could sometimes win bet, If money was not hard to get, How happy we should be.

A very good Forrest story is re- lated by Dr. Kane of New Orleans in the Washington Post;
 "One night during the war For rest was in Washington. The play was 'Richelieu.' President Lincoln, accompanied by Forney, Seward and several prominent members of the administration was seated ln pri- vate box at the left of the stage. In political opinions Forrest was direct ly opposed to them. When in the grand apostrophe to the "pen" MT. Forrest rose solemnly and deliber- ately, facing the Presidents box. With the pen held majestically aloft, his eyes flashing fire, the tones of that wonderful voice vibrating through the theatre, and speaking with unusual deliberrtion and em- phasis, he gave such rendering of Bulwer's lines as must have aston ished the President:
 Beneath the rule of men entirely great
 The pen is mightier than the sword
 Take away the sword
 States can be saved without it
 He looked the party squareiy in the faces, as much as to say: And that's my personal opinion, too. " The shot hit it's mark. There ensu- ed some whispered remarks between Forney and Lincoln, and depreca- tory shake of the head on the part of the latter, accompanied by a dubi- ous elevation of the eyebrows, as much as to say; "Well, l never heard that passage raad in that way before.

Some men cheat themselves out of happiness by an erroneous notion that all the good in the world be- longs to the past, and that the pres ent is a degenerate age. Others rob themselves of much comfort by dis. trusting the future. An abiding faith in God, who is the same yester- day. to-day and forever, promotes health of body and peace of mind, and secures everlasting salvation. - TN. Y. Advocate.

A LOVERS STRATEGY.

MT. lllden was man of 'ad- vanced ideas as the phrase goes. He llattered himself that he had edu- cated his only daughter accordingly. He also believed in the power and advantages of wealth, and having a goodly share of it himself, had care fully arranged a match between Jen- nie and young Lathrop, whose father was president of the board of trade, and had no end of goodly shekels salted down in score of safe and durable investments.
 MT. Tilden loved to argue, and as young Dr. Delavan was quite a con- servative man the two would discuss various radical themes in the most amiable manner, with the doctor mostly on the negative side. Yet in practicc-Mr. Tilden believed in the powers that be, and had ar ranged his daughters future as ad- vantageously as if all his fine social istic ideas were intended-like the smoke of his cigar-for mere evapc- ration.
 George Delavan had been away for several years at college, and had but recently returned with his sheep skin. He had not yet definitely To- cated himself for practice, and while waiting had called upon MT. Tilden, who received him with discreet cordi- alty. Miss Jennie, sitting by, hard- ly ever did more than listen to the fine Utopian theories discussed pro and con. One night-perhaps be- cause he was a little concerned in some argument concerning woman s fitness and unfitness for certain things the doctor said:
 "Well, sir, you may be right, yet l should like to tell you something of an affair that knew of at our med ical college. It is love story. l don't suppose you will be interested, yet it will puzzle you, 1 think, to ap- ply your favorite principles in such case.
 "Go on, Doc, Eve known you from boyhood, and we hardly ever agree on anything. But I like a good story. As for my principles, if they can't stand little friction, let 'em suffer-"
 At the words "love story" Jennie, who was seated near by with news paper, looked up, then meeting Delavan's eye, blushed slightly, and resumed her reading
 ''I had friend at college" said George, "who was poor like myself, and named Adam Smith. From a child he had lived close by a wealthy man whose only daughter we will call Nellie. As children the two had met and played together, and childish intercourse had been kept up until both grew to manhood and woman hood. Then, as he was poor and she was rich, Adam grew shy, and they saw each other less and less. Yet, by looks and various other un- spoken methods, they continued to manifest their unchanging regard for each other.
 Finally Adam went to college. For while they would meet in va cation time, but the growing differ ence in their social positions made itself felt more and more. Nellie's parents were ambitious, and never thought of Adam presuming to be a suitor for her hand. But he, too, was proud, and their indifference stunp him. Nellie, it is true, was al- ways kind to him, yet in his pride he fancied that pity and not love prompted her manner toward him'
