then bouncing upon her to fasten her

Once the miller almost freed herself
and fell away from the web, hanging
only by single fine thread. Stubborn

task over again. At last when it was
seen that the miller was hopelessly
caught the writor released her. 1t was
found that all her legs were bound

In tearing her away the writer had
destroyed tho web, and while the mil

We may be laughing inwardly, but tho

he himself enjoyed an inheritance of
this nature, and this no doubt accounts
in great measure for his intolerance of
those to whom an audible expression OF
mirth had boon denied. Had he been
one whose utterances, cachinnatory and
other, were not habitually made til all

belike have heard nothing of the moral

A VERY TALL. CHIMNEY.

and feet inches at tho top. tho total

Tho nine lower rings wero formed of
eight plates each, tho upper ones of four
plates each. Tho base was encircled by
massive angle iron boltcd to tho
foundation. Tho eight lower rings were
lined with fire brick.
Tho erection of the chimney occupied
seventy days. including taking down
the flying scaffold. Tho lattcr was of
somewhat novel character. 1t consisted
OF q central wrought iron tube seven

Resolution Protesting Against the p

A Resolution Protesting Against the Pas
sage of the Lodge Bill.
A document similar to the following
was presented to the convention early IN
the session. 1t was sent unread before
the committee on platform, and it will
be observed that part of 1t was embodied
in the resolutions reported to and adopted
by the convention. The remainder, that
part bearing on the Lodge bill, was not
heard of again. Here are the resolu-
tions:
FORT WORTH, TEX, Aug. Is, 1890.
Resolved, by the Republicans of Tar
rant county in convention assembled,
that in accordance with q higher spirit
which should actuate all men, to the end
that all men may receive due reward for
fidelity to public trust, this convention
extends to the Hon. Joe Abbott, mem
Der of congress from this district, its
thanks for his efforts toward securing for
Fort Worth an appropriation for a public
building, which 1t is here declared is now
demanded by this CITY.
Resolved, 2, That this conveu-
ton extends to all who have aided in
this behalf, its grateful acknowledge
ment, especially to the Hon. Thomas 3.
Burbridge and the Hon. J. P. Smith,
distinguished citizens of Fort Worth.
who, with an unselfish devotion, went
TO the city of Washington at their own
expense, to the neglect of their private
business, aud ably supplemented the ef-
forts OF Judge Abbott towards securing
an increase of appropriation for such
building. which was happily and properly
contaminated.
And be it further resolved that this
convention representing as it does. no
unimportant part of the intelligence and
wealth of this city and county, acquired
through years of public tranquility and
of private intercourse the most profitable
and harmonious, holds business above
politics, and regards with anxiety and
apprehension the passage of what is
known as the Lodge bill now
pending before congress. It is
the opinion of this conYention that the
