Some years ago we were very much sub
ject to severe spells OF cholera morbus,
and now when we feel any of the symp-
toms that usually precede that ailInent,
such as sickness at the stomach, diar-
rhOea, etc., we become seary. We found
Chamberlafn's Remedy the very thing to
one out in such cases, and al
ways kee about. 1t is somewhat sim
liar to Il Usual cholera cures, but seems
to contaih ingredients that render it more
pleasant To take, and that do their work
more quickly. Sheriff DcVereux tells Us
that he is subject to cholera morbus, and
recently felt spell coming on, when he

writing this for pay testimonial, but to
let our readers know what is a good thing

There are two stories that are told at
the Savage club. Doctor is sent for to

reaved husband, ''but we concluded that

"a man born and bred in the United
States fails to appreciate now uillcIi ssiz
he daily uses in conversafion said al
intelligent American who fssa fast ro-
turned from continental tour. HE
fully appreciates these blemishes, how
ever, when he returns to America after
having had daily intercourse with some
of the well bred persons in Europe. He
picks up these blots on perfect speech so
gradually and they multiply so rapidly
that before he is aware of the extent of
these acquisitions at least one-tenth part
of his vocabulary consists Of slang ex-
pressions.
"This fact is so true of America that
even the ignorant peasants Of Ireland
recognize it when their countrymen re-
turn to their native land. As heard in
America slang seems to add force and
expression to conversation, but this is
only seeming, for when contrasted with
really simple and consequently elegant
diction the difference in strength can
readily be seen. There are some slang
words, however, in the American vo-
cabulary which, if used at the right time
and place. find their bulls eye like a
mimic ball. But, as 4 rule, the use of
slang words is only 2 blemish on CONVEX
sation, and its use cannot be too heartily
condemned. Chicago Herald.

Some additional communications
from the, Secretary of State en-

Pap-American Congress have been
transmitted to congress. One of
these has relation to the protec-

hardly possible that congress will

The Texas Delegation.

A recent issue of the New York
Commercial Advertiser contains a
writeup by its Washington CORE
spondent Of the delegation from
this state in the national house of
representatives, of which all Tex
ans should feel proud. The Lone
Star state for several years past
has been ably represented in the
national halls of Legislation, and
al no time, it would seem, has her
representatives succeeded in COM
,aandinor h;sises sa-is
spect and influence than Is enter
tanned for the sitting 2snbers.
The New York contemporary says
that, taking the whole delegation
through, there is no state in the
union better represented, and that
while they are all men of far more
than average ability they are
known as the silent delegation of
the house. Col. eBuck" Kilgore
is put down as the most loqua-
cious member, speaking oftener
than any of the others, but his one
speech is short and effective. He
is the great collector" usurping
the place of Holman, of Indiana,
who for years has been dubbed
.4he watchdog Of the treasury"
His manneris described as modest
and amiable. He never uses man
uscript but speaks freely with per-
feet seIf-confdence. Mr.. Sayers
is paid very high compliment.
He is said to have taken the place
Of the late Mr.. Randall in the
house as an intelligent economist
and authority on appropriations,
in respect to which he is consider
ed the best informed member and
speaks often, but never uses his
information for buncombe, but
business. Congressman Grain,
who was one of the most promis-
ing young orators Of the last con-
gress and who was highly esteem
ed by President Cleveland, has
dropped more into habitual silence
as he natures. Judge Abbott has
had little to say, and Mr.. Moore
has only come into prominence in
Imposing the outrage Of upseating
members in the election contest
The highest compliment is reserv-
ed for Hon. D. B. CuIberson. Of
him the correspondent says: He
seldom says word on the floor,
and but for the rS,ll-calls there
would be no record of his pres
ence. He is a large man, slow Of
movement and has the appearance
Of being lazy. His attitude is
stolid and he appears immoyable,
but he is one of the most alert
men in the house. He has the
reputation of being one of the two
best lawyers in the house, E. B.
Taylor being the other, and though
he does not speak, the record is
full of his wisdom and is often
frightened by his wit. Men in
the house are glad to. sit near him
as one might be glai to have a
well-stocked library to draw from.
Culberson is a mine from which
others dig gems. Says nothing
himself, he tells this member or
that member some good thing to
say, and the recipient of his sug-
gestion gets the credit for the wit
or wisdom dropped from the lips
of the sphynx. The record is full
of the sayings of the man who
never speaks. Sitting in silence
