in his eye, THAT you never spoke sim
gle cross word to your wife?" Il can,"
said the fat man, emphatically. II am

QUAY SOON COMING HOME.
He is Expected in phia the Last OF
the Month.

PHILADELPHIA, March II. - United
States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay,
who has been off in South Florida since
January &c, to which place he went by
advice of his physicians, has sent word
to some of his friends in this city that he
will arrive in Philadelphia on or about
the 23rd of this month. For the past ten
days Senator Quay has been out of the
reach of mail or telegraph, and has
been cruising about the coast. Before
going off on his cruise he sent the word
of his intention to be in this city at the
time stated, and since the receipt of the
news the local Republican leaders have
been specializing on what is to be the
outcome of his visit.
1t was the intention of the parties in
the secret to keep the news of Senator
Quay's coming from the general public,
in order to prevent the rush of visitors in
his room, which is expected as matter
of course; but it leaked out yesterday,
and as a sole consequence the local lead
ers will no doubt be disappointed, as they
will be unable to keep him to them
selves,

OROUTH IN TEXAS.
CattIemen Driving Their Stock Ten Miles

ST. LOUIS, March 17.-Advices from
the lower Rio Grande country in Texas
say that live stock of all kinds are suf-

Nearly all of the water holes, streams
and tanks in the counties of Starr,
Hidalgo, Zapata and Duval are dry, and
in many places cattle have to be driven
ten miles TO water. There is no lack of
grass, but the scarcity of water has been
a very serious drawback and cattle are
in very poor condition. Fears are enter
tanned that if the drouth continues much
longer the loss will be very heavy.
Since the last of September last year
there has been no rain to amount to any
thing.
