Texna sprine Palace.

One of the most noteworthy events in the South during the year 1890 will be the hold ing of the famous Texas Spring Palace at Fort Worth, which opens on May 10 and closes with the ending of the month. 'sTexas ata glance'' is the expression often used in connection with this palace, and it is very expressive and comprehensive, as the palace displays to great advantage all the resources of the Clone Star State.r The past ttwelve months have been the most re- markable in tho history of development in Texas. Unknown counties have been peo- pied and new towns and cities have sprung up almost in day. Great railway systems have been extended, rich and vast deposits of iron end coal uncovered and worked, and new and immense industries established.
 All the railroads entering the city have made greatly reduced rates, good for thirty days. For further information address B. B. Paddock, President, Fort Worth, Texas. A 'coRNER" which is not worth fig raisin' the currant values to date on dried

Grumbling,

Men of a melancholy disposition are
apt to grumble. They cannot help it.,
even if they tried; not that they ever
do try-quite the reverse-but they
could not help grumbling if they tried
ever so much.
A pessimist is born grumbling.
He grumbles at the light, because it
dazzles his eyes; he grumbles at the
darkness, because it takes away the
light.
He grumbles when he is hungry, be-
cause he wants to eat; he grumbles
when he is full. because he can eat no
more.
He grumbles at the winter, because
it is cold; he grumbles at the summer,
because it is hot; and he grumbles at
spring aud autumn, because they are
neither hot nor cold.
He grumbles at the past, because it
is gone; he grumbles at the future, be-
cause it is not come; and he grumoles
at the present, because it is neither
the past nor the future.

he had lost by Silcott's defalcation.
Finally, coming down to "Buck" Kill

VARYING Value Of Silver.

Silver, in it's relative value. to gold.
has varied greatly at different times.
In the days Of the patriarch Abraham
it was to l; B. c. 1000 it was IL to l:
b. c. 500 it was IL to l, and at the
commencement Of the Christian era it
was 8 to /. In the year $40 A. d. it
was Is to l; in, HOO it was 8 to l.. and
in 400 it was IL to 1.
In 1454 gold was only six times.more
valuable than the precious white met
al, silver. and within the next hum
dred years two pounds of silver could
be exchanged evenly for one of gold.
In 1000 gold was again worth ten
times as much as its paler brother. In
1925 gold was thirteen times more val
liable than silver, just as it was 500
years B. c.. At the beginning of the
present century it had risen in value
to higher point than at any time
since 500 A. D., being fifteen times
more valuable than silver. In 1875
the ratio of silver to gold was twenty
to one, and in 1886 it was at the high
est point ever known, since which
time it has gradually declined to
twenty to one.

says the ST. Paul Pioneer Press, es-
pecially for the younger and ambitious
generation of political savants who are
DESTROYS of molding public opinion.
Not long since there were two ex-
judges of the supreme court an ex-
governor and two ex-United States
senators engaged in conversation
and incidentally the question of tenn
perance came up. One of the ex-sena-
tors, while not a prohibitionist, has
very pronounced temperance views and
1t is said that during his entire official
career he was never known to indulge
in even so much as glass of wine.
''WLy, gentlemen" exclaimed this
enthusiastic apostle of the cold
water doctrine, "the time is
coming when liquors Of all
kinds will be banished from the table
OF every official who gives public en-
tertaiament" ''Well. senator" re-
marked the ex-governor. Il am indeed
surprised to hear such IA statement
from you. Why, l venture to say that
you and have drank more whisky and
water in the last thirty years at public
entertainments than any other two
men in the state" "What do you
mean. STRIP replied the teetotaler,
noting the look of surprise from all
present. why, I mean that you
drank the water and l drank the
whisky" and in the laugh that followed
the ex-senator joined heartily. Any
old-timer will readily recognize Gov.
Ramsey and Senator Mcmillan as the.

Few People Have Any Definite
r.. Idea Of this Great Sea.
A Canadian surveyor who was en-.
gagged in an official expedition to Hud-
sons Bay in 1885 and 1886 says few
people have any idea of the resources
of this great sea. Its shores are the
haunts of the musk OK, the moose, the
reindeer, the red deer, the white bear
and his black brother, the otter, the
bever, the mink, the black fox, also the
silver. gray and white varieties, and
other valuable fur-bearing animals.
Its waters are teeming with the most
valuable varieties of fish. He has
seen the bay as far as the eye could
reach appear one undulating mass of
white porpoises. Both the hides and
the oil of these are very valuable. In
some parts of the bay and in the straits
the shores Of the islands are swarming
with walrus. 1t has been reported by
Professor Bell that on the east coast
there was found to be thickly strewn
with the ivory tusks Of the walrus
The tusks are valuable, though the
chief value of the walrus lies in the
hide, which weighs on the average 800
pounds, and is worth from 10 to 20
cents per pound.

soon as the balloon got we'll up he
wanted to go down, and when they
approached Chantilly, first descent
was made. The country people told
them that they must ascend again,

Frichet elected to descend, and would
have landed them in farm crammed
with the enemy's troops had they not
been fired at and thus warned of. Bal

soon they heard the sound of the Prus-

Frichet that they must force their way
to the other side, where there was a
wood. This was done without any &C

of the Bots de Ferritres at Epineusc
Numbers of peasants went to meet
them, and they were received hospita-
