Mr.. CHAUNCEY DEPEw. speaking to a
London reporter of the censure directed at
him in the Union Square meeting for not
having been at his post during the fight,
said serenely that they shouldn't have
struck while he was away. This seems a
very reasonable proposition that no striker
ought to find fault with.

PROMINENT VISITORS.
who Were Looking at Our Invest
mentS Yesterday.

There was quite a prominent party Of
gentlemen in this city yesterday, who re-
manned but a few hours and then pulled
out for Galveston. Tn" party, though
consisted Of President Cross, of the NJ. X.
Il II. railway: Secretary Freeman. of the
Standard Oil Company, accompanied by
his son; and Samuel {. II. DOdd, legal
counsel for the Standard Oil company,
also accompanied by his son. Mr.. DOdd
is brother to Mr.. c. A. DOdd, of this
city, and the meeting between them was
very cordial.
What these gentlemen were after was
not given out, but is guessed at to be
something of benefit to San AntOniO'S
growth and prosperity and to themselves.
They came direct from Fort Worth, but
gave their opinions freely that they
thought more of San Antonio as a place
for investments than any city they had
seen since they left New York.

merchandising at Milliken's Bend,
In this parish, during the year 'S7

during that time every one that
used the medicine was loud in its
praise. Among those who we're
benefited by S. S. S. was a man
since dead-who had cancer in its
most malignant form. He had
spent e small fortune in trying to
effect a cure, but without success.
After the knife had been used
there was still a cancerous faint
left in his blood, the wound never
healing. 1 finally persuaded him
to try S. S. s., and it alone eradi-

perfect health. From that time

While the south would be q
great deal better off if it could get
rid of large part its negro Pop
ulation-a part large enough tc
remove the existing danger to good
local government-there is nc
present probability that the blacks
are going to emigrate in any per-
ceptible degree. There will be
honest emigration schemes and
swindling emigration schemes, and
they will take many blacks out of
the south, but where there are
millions, thousands will not even
be missed. No solution of the
race problem is worth considering
that assumes that even a majority
of the blacks can be induced to
leave the south.-Savannah News.

Shifting Orthe Seasons.

"Are the seasons chan ;ng?"
said Sergt. Dunn, echoing the
query. @Well, as to the amount
of heat and cold received and dis
tributed over this part of the
earth I cannot say that there is
very much difference. The seasons
may vary some what, but when the
end of the year comes around, and
we begin to figure on profit and
loss of heat and cold, it is not Of
ten that they do not counterbal-
ance each other or come close to
it. How do l determine the loss
Of heat and cold? Well. by taking
tho means of each months temper
ature for a great many years and
finding a normal; then for each
day and each month calculations
are made to show whether the
heat received has been deficient or
in excess. Thus We are enabled
to give the changes in seasons.
For instance, the annual mean
temperature for this city is exactly
Sol dogs. During 1888 there was a
deficiency of 45.2 degrees mean
temperature, or about II dogs. for
each day, and every one knows the
winter was mild. This year there
was an excess still greater, and it
amounts to nearly 2 degrees for
each day. By comparing records
for twenty years past I find the
same excess of deficiency taking
place.
'sThe cold snaps during the past
winter we're of short duration, but
they were sufficiently severe to
overcome the excess Of heat gain
ed for ten or fifteen days, and it
often occurs that the temperature
viii run down toS or TO degrees
above zero and remain there long
enough for solid ice to foim.
Should that occur early in the sea-
son and ice remain On the ground
people would say it was a cold
winter but no matter how cold it

mild climate of the British Isles
is justly attributed to the Gulf
Stream; there the prevailing winds
are from the ocean, from west to
east, carrying with them the warm,
moist atmosphere created by the
stream, Now our prevailing winds
are off shore and the Gulf Stream
can never produce such an effect
on this side Of the ocean until the
earth rotates in the opposite di-
rection and our storms come from
the east instead of the west. -

Our Dear Boys.

Where is my boy tonight? Thi
is a serious question. Have you
ever thought about it? Do yo,
care anything about it? We're yor
ever boy yourself? Don't yor
know that if you were to do YOU
duty you would know where YOU
boy is tonight? Did your father
know where his boy was tonight
Was your fathers boy any better
than your boy? These are all Sc.
rious questions. Has your right
arm and hand lost their cunning:
If not where is your bride rein
and where is your boy to-nightf
Msrsed boys die young and
many Of those who survive, are SO
good that they are good for moth
ing. The most successful men,
the most pious men and most tenn
perate men in Sulphur Springs or
in Texas or out of it were once
boys. What kind. of a boy were
you? Did you ever or could you
tell a lie at night? Did you ever
go to the circus, the race course,
or ran off ard go in swimming or
fishing? Did you fight chickens,
steal apples or watermelons, or
did you eat your mush and milk
and sleep at night? Did you ever
turn the teacher out of doors?
Did you continue to grieve your
mothers heart until you deter
mined to be a man and put away
foolish and sinful things? Did
your father control you, or was
your control relegated to the town
marshal, local or other options?
Where is my boy tonight? He
may be in a saloon, in a gambling
house or lower den. If in there
and not your own fault, and the
men are better than boys, woe be
unto the saloon and gambling men.
Remember your bride rein at
this time and be sure that your
boy remembers it. Boys are get
ting numerous. 1t seems to the
writer that there are more boys
than there used to be. And where
they need more licking, they get
less of it. Again it took the jew
ish boys 1000 years and many
were stoned to death before they
were capable of civilization and
most of these boys are still under
control of their parents. Raise
your boy in the way he should go''
You have better facilities for do
ing than parents had 1000 years
ago, and if every parent will do
his 1uty by his boy, he will shed
his evil ways and show you the
difference between a good and a
bad boy. Don't forget that the
first boy born into the world killed
the second and that no boy is
either all good, nor all bad. Keep
close to your boy. See that he
owes you and that you love him,
and teach him that happiness is
neither derived from idleness nor
external splendor. --Sulphu
Springs Echo.

To all children, home should be
the happiest place in the world;
the nurse should be person of
cheerful, sunny disposition, strong
and active, as there is a great deal
Of hard work attending the cares
Of the little child; and while the
mother should always remain head
nurse, the assistant should be a
vigorous person. Do not allow
nurse or any one else to terrorize
your child with stories of any
kind that will cling to them and
make their nights a torment. 1t is
useless to make them afraid of the
domestic animals by telling them
that everything will "bite." If a
child is naturally nervous, it can
be better controlled by little iu-
dicious indulgence than by denial.
Little pleasures should be pro-
vided for them and the pleasure
anticipation given them. 1t will
not hurt your carpet to have few
chalk rings on them, and any lit
tie boy would enjoy a game of
marbles with papa or mama even
better than with the boys down
the street that you do not want
him to associate with. Play with
the children sometimes; it will
draw your nearer to them and
keep you young. Spend less time
on their clothes and more on their
own sweet selves. The day will
come only too soon when you can
sit down with your tidied house
and they all away.-Farm and
