TUED Or SAM HOUSTON.
Pride in His Good Looks-The Capture of
Santa Anna.

Santa Anna.
General Sam Houston was a hand,
some and graceful man," said Judge
Thomas Berry, of Gallatin. He was dis
cussing the characteristics of celebrated
Tennesseeans with whom he had been
imately acquainted.
HE was proud of his fine personal
appearance, too" the aged speaker con-
tinued, land there is told of him story
which, if true, will serve to illustrate
his youthful vanity. When a young
man, so the story runs, Houston was in
Nashville one day, and was posing on a
prominent street corner, when two. Or
three giddy young ladies pass II
They were attracted by the h.. X.
man in his snowy uniform, and Sc
passing him turned their heads i
another glance.
; wonder who that man is one of
them exclaimed to herztompanions.
L am, ladies, Lieutenant Houston.
OF the United States army said the
young soldier, as he made step for
ward, and lifted his cap as he addressed
them.
General Houston told me once how
he captured General Santa Anna. just
after the battle of San Jacinto two of
Houston's men, who were searching for
prisoners, scared up deer, which ran
through the tall grass. The frightened
animal passed near to Mexican, who
was concealed in the heritage, and who
jumped up in evident alarm. The two
Immediately secured the stranger, who
asserted that he was a common soldier.
You are not said one of his cap-
TORS; look at your EN- broidered vest.
You are an officer
Ihe Mexican, in his embarrassment
ran his fingers into his jacket pocket
and drew out an elegant gold snuff-box.
Ihls more than ever caused the Amerf-
cans to believe him an officer. He offered
them large sum of money to release
him. but they refused, and started with
him to Houston's tent. AS they passed
a large group of Mexican prisoners,
chese men cried out that Santa Anna
was captured.
The Mexican General, thus exposed
urged his captors to take him at once to
General Houston's tent He remem-
Dered the affair of the Alamo. and was
afraid that he would be summarily dealt
with by the Texan soldiers who began

General Houston's order, transferred to
washington, and from there, after he
mad made treaty acknowledging the
independence of Texas, sent to Mexico.
The action of General Houston in
bringing on the battle of San Jacinto
was daring. He had the bridge across
Buffalo bayou destroyed during the
night so that all escape for the Mexican
army was cut off. The morning of the
battle General Houston said snat e was
awakened by the sun shining in his
face, and thought he beheId the sun of
Austerlitz. The Me1icans were en-
camped >east of his position. Houston
waited until the sun had crossed the
heavens and was shining in the faces
OF the Mexicans before he made a move.

The ease-loying people about the
hour OF one in the afternoon began to
take their usual siestas, in which nm
fortunate pleasure they were engaged

The man who rests lets others over

clothes who follows the fashion.-Ter-
re Haute Express.
The humorist is about the only man
who likes to have his work laughed at.
Boston Courier,
1t was Nine. Roland who said:
''The more. know of men the more l

ness is OverdOne-Puck.
Unfortunate are those who have
just enough sense to realize their own

There must be some peculiar fatal

No man has higher opinion of the

Character is much like cloth in one
respect If white, it can be dyed black;
but once blackened, it can not be dyed
white. He alone is happy and great
who needs neither to obey or command
in order to distinguish himself. Goethe.
The public opinion that strengthens
the right and keeps down the wrong
must be watchful as we'll as fearless and
honest. 1t must strike quickly as we'll
as hard. 1t must aim at prevention as
well as cure of evil-doing. -Christian
Advocate.
If people wish to live we'll together,
they must not hold too much logic, and
suppose that every thing is to be settled
by sufficient reason. Dr.. johnson saw
this clearly, with regard to married peo-
pie, when he said: ''Wretched would be
the pair above all names of wretched-
ness who should be doomed to adjust by
reason, every morning, all the minute
details of domestic day."
What honesty is in Deeds sincerity
is in words-the best policy. 1t is
policy, however, to which the artificial
habits of society are not very favor
able. The forms of politeness, with all
their utility, have this disadvantage,
that, in teaching to restrain the real
sentiments and ideas which can not con-
veniently be expressed, they are apt to
lead to the expression of others which
are not consistent with truth.-N. Y.
Ledger.
Not what man has, but the way in
which he looks at it, is the measure of
mans wealth of possessions. If man
deems his present property as fully
enough for his needs. he is richer by far
Slan the man who, with ten times as
much property, is reaching out with
longing for great deal more. Content
ment is of ones self, and not of ones
position and belongings. He who is con-
tented with his present lot, would not
be likely to find contentment in any
other lot in the universe. S. Times.
