for a few days, and 1 begged her not to
let him meet me. When he came unex-
pectedly into the room where l was, the
only time I ever saw him, I turned my
back upon him and left him. The sight
OF him made my whole heart burn. I
could not think OF him except as an
enemy arrayed against my dear, dear
brother, who l knew must be in the Con-
federate army. 1 never dreamed of the
possibility of Il meeting between him and
Brer Nicholas, except in mortal combat,
and the sight of him was dreadful; il was
intolerable to be in the same house with
him." She threw herself back in her
chair, and covered her face with her
hands, trembling. ''Oh, if 1 could have
known! If i could but have known"
she moaned.
"Well, we don't know that he did any
thing much for Cousin Nicholas" said
Bess, with intent to be ~consoling. ''And
n doesn't care to be under obligations
to a Yankee officer"
IF he did but see Brer Nicholas, that
is much. Oh, Bess, think how long it

she brought a letter from your aunt;
Cousin Jasper told grandmother all about
it. He said that Mrs. Lorrimer expected
too much when she asked him to invite
a Yankee officer to his house. He was
very angry; and that was why he wrote
for you to- come home so suddenly; and
as q dutiful daughter 1 don't see how
you can take any notice of this man."
Lottie concluded, with some emphasis.
She rather distrusted her cousins five

NEWS OF NICHOLAS.

Five years had added some inches to
Winifred Thorne's stature. but she was
n tiny creature still, and she still went
lame, leaning on a quaint little crutch
with q handle of carved ivory, by help of
which she moved with q grace and facil-
ity that Knocked at pity. The hue of
health vas on her cheek, whence the OBJ
noxious freckles had vanished; her mouth
no longer looked too large for her face;
her great gray eyes had taken a deeper
soloring, a warmer light; the sunburned
streaks in her brown hair had disap-
peared; Winifred Thorne had bloomed
into "a piquant, unusual beauty, and her
very lameness gave her a romantic
charm. Her fathers heart, even in the
midst of the misfortunes following the
war, tIrobbed with a'proud JOY when he

TEXAS THE WORLDS EAR.

The Worlds Columian Exposition
that will occur at Chicago in 1892
and 1898. occur most propitlously
for Texas. The state was never in
more prosperous condition and has
never attracted such general atten-
ton as is now berg bestowed upon
it. The opportunity that the Worlds
fair will afford for making an exhi-
it Of the manifold resources and
productions OF the state is golden
one and one that III this age and
generation will never again present
Itself. hence it should be taken adj
vantage of. No better opportunity
was ever afforded for advertising
Texas aud pointing out to those
seeking homes or investment for
their capital the many Superior ad-
vantages that our state offers.
Tue resources and production OF
this state are of such magnitude as
to render it impossible for the citi-
zens Of Texas. through their indi-
vidual efforts to collect creditable
exhibit of the whole state or provide
the necessary money for such an e2-
hibit as Texas should make at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition.
With the view Of bringing about
an organized effort to meet the de-
mands of the situation, the Worlds
Fair Convention was held i'll Hous-
| ton early in December in the Ge.lb-
Grafton of which many of the repie-
sentative men from all sections of
the state participated. 1t was the
sense of the convention that the
state be requested to make appro-
priation for carrying out the work
upon plan commensurate with its i'm
portance. It is movement in which
the entire state is interested, no one
section more than another, but ali
alike. Nearly every state in the
union will take advantage of being
properly represented at this great
Worlds Exposition. Can Texas af-
ford to neglect the opportunity
Money at the present time cannot
De expended more judiciously in adj
yertising the state. T. the legisla-
ture, with the proper appreciation
of this fact deals literally with the
it will be an incentive to the various
counties in the state to form auzil-
liary organization to the stvte organ
ization now formed at Houston with
the view of having their special pro-
ducts placed before the eyes of the
world.

PUBLIC RIGHTS OF CITIZENS on THE
PUBLIC HIGHWAY.

A prominent gentleman said 10
BANNER reporter few days ago that
on one or two occasions he had
come very near having serious diff
fculty about his rights on the pub
lie highway, as there we're great
many people that did not want to
yield particle of the road, but eX-
pected everybody they met to drive
around them, or they would run the
risk of collision and the conse-
quent danger of demolished vehi-
Gle, and as rule these selfsE midi
viduals made ladies driving alone
yield the entire road, and that he
had Just run across a clipping from
an eastern paper which depicted the
same state of affairs and which ex-
pressed his views on the subject
and his desires in the premises, and
that the present legislature should
settle ''the peoples rights in the
public road" ITO make the mat
ter clear, what I mean is this: What
are the rights and privileges that
each and every citizen should enjoy
in travelling the public roads of
the country For instance, if | am
driving along the public road and
meet another man riding in wagon
or buggy, what are my rights, if I
have any, under the circumstances?
Shall 1 give half the road to the
other man, or shall I turn out and
give him all the road? Ny own un-
Outstanding of the matter is that we
.haveno statue bearing on this sub
ject, but we ought to have one. The
time has come In this section of the
State when the matter should be
settled and regulated by law. 1t
frequently happens that white citi-
zens and their families meet drunk
en- men in the road, and are
forced to drive to one side and quit
the road to avoid a collision and
trouble. If they make any claim
whatever to any part of the road
they are liable to be run into, and
their teams or vehicles injured. My
opinion is that we have the the old
English common law on this sub
iect, but we ought to have State
law for the protection of citizens. I
hope the Legislature will give this
matter prompt attention.

TIE RE-UNION.

The Rising Star Record has the
following about the reunion and
those connected with it's manage
ment, which the reporter slips in
without consulting Mr.. Rankin,
knowing that his unpretentious
modesty would forbid the reproduc-
ton, as it is the brotherly love for
his old comrades in arms, and not
any vain world glory there might be
in the success of the reunion, that
makes him such a Jealous worker

the Record "a whole team

members of Green's Brigade will be

ferent railways will be secured. Am
pie preparations are being made to

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

REMARKABLE EFFECTS OF HEAT ON STEEL.
Specimens of steel of three differ
ent qualities, depending on a varying
proportion of carbon have been
tested in Germany to determine the
change in temperature. Starting
from 4 degrees below zero Fahren-
heit, the test pieces diminished in
both strength and percentage of elon-
cation up to temperature between
400 and 500 degrees, then rose to
maximum at about 600 degrees
and fell steadily beyond that point
up to HOO degrees the highest tenn
perature tried. At 600 degrees the
strength of the weakest bar-sup-
porting 26 tons at ordinary tenn
peratures-was increased 81 per
cent; that of the second bar-usually
sustaining q tons-had risen 81 per
cent; and that of the third bar-of
an ordinary strength of 81 tons
had gained 25 per cent.
THE POISON OF ToADs AND SALAMANDERs.
A recent microscopical study by
Herr Schultz has revealed two kinds
of glands-mucus and poison-in
the skin of toads and salamanders.
The mucus glands are numerous
over the whole body; but the poison
glands are on the back and limbs, in
groups about the ears, and, in the
salamander at the angle of the jaw.
The mucus glands are spherical, and
appear clear and CLASSY; while the
poison glands are oval, much larger,
and have dark granular look. The
muscus has no special smell, nor bit
ter or acid taste. On stimulating
the poison glands electrically, the
corrosive liquid is spurted out by
the salamander in a fine jet often a
foot long, but from the toad it ex-
udes less promptly, and sparingly in
drops.
