A Beautiful Homo Swept Away.

MINERAL WELLS, PALo PINTO COUNTY,
Tex, July !6.-Mr. Thomas Wynn, who
had the misfortune to have his house and
household furniture burned on last Satur-
day evening, is in town spending few
days with his family, the guest of DR..
Baines. MIR. Wynn lost everything, as the
fire was so far advanced at the time it was
discovered that he only saved two trunks.
The fire IS supposed to have originated in
the third story hall from match which
probably had been carried into some crevice
by mouse. Mr.. Wynn,s loss can
not be estimated. as it is reputed
that ne had the best improved place in the
West, having devoted years of patient labor
IN growing vines, shrubbery, trees and
every imaginable thing that would serve to
beauty and adorn home. which was all
swept away within the space of few
minutes. The house was valued at 5000.
He carried 5000 insurance in the Globe of
London. Mr.. Wynn has the sympathi. of
every one who was so fortunate as to have
ever visited his place, as it was perfect
little Paradise without. while within a
home for every honest man.

ceremony suited to the occasion was pro-
nounced by the Rev Mr.. Lawrance of Oak
Clif. Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Greathouse led the way to the
heavily laden tables spread for the occasion,
and to say that many hungry and thirsty
people were fed and well fed would hardly
do justice to the occasion. Everybody ate,
drank and was merry. The supper was
simply immense. The presents were costly
and numerous, and are such collection as
a king might envy. After refreshments
were over, the crowd had good time gen
orally in social conversation. Suffice it to
say that it was Al in every particular.

Special to the Gazette.

ARpMoRE, I. T., July 16.-Your cores
pendent has it on reliable authority from
Pauls Valley that Agent Bennett yesterday
received a dispatch from Commissioner
Morgan directing him to use his own dis
erection in the matter of continuing or dis
continuing the ejectment of intruders from

Pauls Valley to-day. What action he will
take in the matter remains to be seen, but
as in hIs reports to the department he has
urgently recommended suspension of the
order until the intruders can make their

will be only too glad to stop the work OF in
truder actions for the present, at least.

the word implies.
He plays the most difficult compost
tions on the piano and organ with as
much ease as trained musician could.
The first time he attracted attention
to his great natural talent was when
he was about three years Of age, and
shortly after his parents had pur-
chased an organ. His mother, upon
entering the room one day, was sur
prised at seeing the youthful musician
standing at the organ, working the
pedal with one foot and executing, as
we'll as his baby fingers would per-
NIT, one Of the familiar re-
ligious hymns which she herself
had been playing. The little fell
low was encouraged and made rapid
progress. Shortly after the discovery
local pianist happened to be at Mr..
Simpsons house, and the child's play
ing struck her as being SO remarkable
that she offered to instruct it in all
the branches, but the parents would
not consent, preferring to wait until
Walter was more matured. At the
teachers advice, however, they eX-
changed the organ for q piano, and
the new instrument seems to suit the
yOungSter much better than the 9TH
eT. Another remarkable thing about
the boy is his memory for tunes. lie
goes to church with his parents, hears
q hymn entirely new to him, and with
q few hours practice reprOduces it
upon his piano. He enjoys his talent
very much and is never happier than
when Derched upon a piano stool and
playing some Of the bright, catchy
airs that he hears on the streets.
His surroundings also cOnduce to his
spending much Of his time at the
piano. His home is situated within
the Enclosure of the deaf and dumb
| institute, and Walters playmates are
only the little victims of an unkind
| nature. Walter says they cant talk
wifi their mOufs," and that he prefers
playing his piano to playing with his
afflicted neighbOrS. He is WONDER
fully bright intellectually, and is q
very handsome child, having almost a
classical face, surmounted by dark
brown locks. His sparkling blue eyes
light up his striking face, and his
| robust frame and general healthy
appearance Indicate the making OF a
strong man. His only pet is beau
tifully marked shepherd dog that he
| calls "Quiz." He and "Quiz' are al
most inseparable, and when his mas
ter is playing the dog seems to enjoy
the music as much if not more than
| does Walter.

We Must Work.

A most inevitable fact connected
with our existence is that if we would
become prosperous or successful at all
we must work nor iSany one excluded.
Whether you are behind pillow or a
desk. sweeping a chimney or govern
ing state, digging ditch or editing
q paper, grinding scissors or compiling
text books, work you must. Look
around you and you will see that the
men who are able to live the rest Of
their days without working are those
who have spent the most OF their
time in the hardest work. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with over
work: some do. but it is because they
quit work at six p. m. and don't go
home until two a. m. 1t is not the
work but the interval that kills them.
The world is not proud of men who
do not work; in fact it is ignorant Of
their existence. They have fallen so
far behind in the worlds progressive
march that no one remembers that
they ever enlisted in its busy ranks.
Find out what you want to be and
do, then take off your coat, roll up
your sleeves and go forth into the
worlds great workshop, where you
will find the rough material awaiting
your skillful hand. The old saying,
"There is always room at the top"
does not apply to those who are I'M
willing to climb. We live in an age
of activity, an age Of aggression, a
time of universal emulation, time
when persistent effort is the only
sure way to success, and if we would
become prosperous in the vocation OF
our choice we cannot rest on oars and
wait for favorable tide Of circum-
stances to bear US away to the harbOr
of fortune. A man may have genius,
but he cannot depend upon that
alone. else he will end in miserable
failure. The best genius is hard
work. The sober, industrious, God
fearing young man is the one who
will be crowned with successful and
happy life here below and glory in
the one above. College Echo.

The editor betrays more faith in Mr..
Ruggles' rain-mal1er than the artist
shows. for he has furnished the "indi-
yidual" with a silk tile and refused
him the charity of an umbrella.
Regarding Senator FarWell's efforts
the Scientific American says:
"TO us the most practical result
likely to follow from these expert
ments is the extraction Of money from
the public treasury. We have seen
how easy it was to obtain the first
$40, 600 to aid the chimera.
Il asked them TO put in the rain
appropriation just as an accommodate
ton to me- says the Senator, and
they did it. Nobody in the House
cared to see what No. II, little ap
preparation anyhow, was, and it
passed.
'The idea that rain can be precip-
itated by cannon-tiring is almost as
old as gunpoWder; but while there
are many curious condolences there
is no satisfactory evidence that rain
was so produced. 1t is Oh a par with
the Chinese mode Of cOnQuering the
enemy by making loud noise.
at is true a dOWnpOur often follows
a clap Of thunder; but this does not
prove the rain was produced by the
conclusion. On the contrary, we
know that rain probably results from
the cooling of mOisture-laden air, and
simultaneously electricity may APP
pear. Hence in thunderstOrms the
aerial conclusions are most probably
the results, not the cause, of rain
formation.
Mature works on vast scale in
producing rain: and it is idle to sup
pose that the burning Of little eX-
plosiye matter can materially affect
the boundless atmosphere Of the
skies.
"In a certain sense it may be
claimed that rain always follows an
explosion, since all atmospheric
changes are successive. If to-day is
fair, fire a gun and it will rain either
tomorrow or some following day. If
to-day is rainy, fire gun and it will
be fair either tomorrow or after
ward. There appears to be just as
much sense in appropriating public
money for explosives to produce dry
ness in Alaska as TO make rain by
similar means in Texas.

VIII the African Elephant work?

In modern times, we have only to,
look to India to be convinced Of the
great usefulneSSNf the elephant. To
the agriculturist, who uses him be-
fore his wagon or his pillow, he is in
dispensable, and for the transporter
ton of heavy articles, he has no
equal. We see him carrying i'm
menSe trce-trunks out Of the Indian
forest, and by his interchangeable in
dustry, in picking up and carrying off
large stones, aiding the construction
Of roads and railways. For labor of
this kind a cOolie receives from four
to eight annas, while five ana six
rupees are paid for the daily work of
an elephant. From this fact, we con-
clude that one elephant performs the
work of from twelve to twenty-five
coolies.
From the record of the British eX-
petition against King Theodore Of
Abyssinia in 1868, we learn that
fOrty-fOur elephants were shipped
from Bombay to use in the campaign.
Each animal was in charge Of two
men. OF this number five succumbed
during Jne campaign. Inc relldlll-
ing thirty-nine rendered valuable SER
vices, being intrusted with the trans
portati0n, through mountainous
country, of cannon, ammunition ana
supplies. 1t was frequently very diff.
fcult to procure proper food for them,
and as it was often necessary to
traverse great distances TO reach the
watering places, the death Of the five
animals is ascribed to these hard
ships. Although elephants move
slowly through a mountainous coun-
try and soon become foot-sore, they
performed their task with admirable
fdithfulness. Without them it would
have been necessary to await the
building of wagon roads. = Cold

{canneSS.

Some persons are born with q nor
NAL tendency to become fat, others
with a tendency to leanness. 1t is
the same among the lower animals.
The hog is a sort Of machine for
transforming the odds and ends Of
food into fat: but the farmer knows
beforehand that little pig with long
legs and snOut will work off the fat
as fast as it can be made. So a long
legged person seldom inclines to
obesity.
Temperament has much to do with
the bodily condition in this respect.
In Emphatic people the life processes
are slow and the fat is largely depos-
tied, rather than burned. This tenn
permanent furnishes some Of the best
types OF suTface-be beauty. The person
of nervous temperament, on the
other hand, by excessive activity Of
body and mind, and by prediSpOsitiOn
to haste. worry, fret and impatience,
naturally remains lean: but while the
features Of such person will prOba-
bly, Lack SOftness and rOundness Of
outline, they may exhibit in q marked
degree the higher beauties Of mind
and soul.
People who incline to obesity may
hold the tendency in check by apprO-
pirate food and stirring exercise in
the open air, thus both lessening the
amount Of fat-fOrming food taken in
to the system, and causing q more
rapid consumption Of such fat as is
produced; and those who incline to
undue leanness, by pursuing the op-
pOsite course, may largely increase
the amount Of fat deposited.
If the leanness is the result Of di-
geStiye weakness. or Of a faulty aSSim-
ilatiOn, little. of course, can be done
until a condition Of general health
has been secured. But assuming
that the abnormal leannesS is con-
nected with high health, what adj
vice must be given?
First. let the carbOnaceOus. or fat
forming, food greatly preponderate
over the nitrOgenOus-such as beef,
lamb and Goldfish. Calling the fat
forming clements Of beef twenty,
lamb thirty-tiye, and Goldfish five,
those OF pork Will be nfty: beans,
fifty-seven; peas sixty: oats, sixty
six: wheat, siXty-nine: corn and rye,
each seyenty-two, rice, eighty, and
butter, one hundred.
OF course it would not do to take a
single carbOnaceOus article and live
on it, for the entire body is to be kept
in high health by the proper nOurish-
ment of all the tissues. However,
the system can be well supported in
full yigor by a vegetable diet, with
the addition Of milk, eggs and butter,
In the second place, cultivate calm
ness and Quietness in feeling and
manner. Avoid impotence and fret.
DO not OverWOrk with mind or body.
We may add that tea-drinking tends
to leanness. II possible, milk should
be substituted. Companion.
