Fond Mother-Now look here,
George! want you TO break off with
that girl. She is very pretty and all
that, but I know her too well to want
you to risk your life and happiness by
marrying her. Why she knows no
more about housekeeping than dc
about Greek-not bit!
George Perhaps not; but she can
learn.
Mother-After marriage is rathe,
late for that, George.
George-But you said yourself that
you did not know thing about house
keeping until after you were married
Mother-Very true, George and

There is sound Democracy and
sound sense in the following from the
Livingston (Ala.l Journal:
'SCotton clothes the world. Sugar

planter is taxed to pay the sugar plan

his product. We reaffirm the motto:
equal rights for all-special favors
for none or words to that effect"

st. Louis Republic: Ofall the love
affairs in the world, remarks an ex-
change, none can surpass the true
love of a big boy for his mother. 1t
is pure and noble and honorable in
the highest degree to both. We do
not mean a mere dutiful Affection
We mean q love that makes q boy
gallant and courteous to his mother,
saying to everybody plainly that he
is in love with her. Next to the love
of husband, nothing crowns a
woman's life with such honor and
happiness as this. We never yet
knew boy to turn out hopelessly
bad who began by being in love with
his mother. Any man may fall in
love with fresh-faced girl, and the
man who is gallant to the girl may
cruelty neglect his worn and weary
wife. But the boy who is a lover of
his mother in her middle age, is a
true knight who will love his wife as
much in her sear-l -leaved autumn as
he did in the daisied springtime.

True Courage.

The braggart who is spelling for
a fight" who makes walking arsenal
of himself, carrying a pistol in his
hip pocket, q dirk in his bosom, a
slung shot Oh his wrist, can at any
time lie elevated by decent puck, by
a firm hand to his coat-collar, and
the man that lifts him will not smell
of gunpowder. 1t is the man who
does not want to fight; who will not
fight, unless something as dear as
life fires bis courage; tue cool, calm,
collected man, who can be trusted
when the long roll is rattliug for the
fight.
He is not the hero who feels no
fear in the presence of danger, but
the man who realizes his peril and
and yet stands to his colors, or his
post. He who snatches the wreath
of fame from the curling smoke of
the cannon's mouth is the man who
tramples down his fears and rushes
to the charge impelled by patriotic
principle.
The bully who boasts the brute
courage he holds in common with
the wolf, who hears not to heed the
groans of the dying, is not the stuff
of which heroes are made. Such
were not the men who sung "Annie
Laure" in the trenches of the Crimea,
whose tears "washed off the stains of
POWDER" such were not the troops
of the Iron Cromwell, who went from
their knees into battle and crushed
the naughty chivalry of England into
the dust as if they had been tinseled
schoolboys; such were not the psalm
singing Methodists of Nelson, who,
on the slippery deck and amid the
broadside's reeling rack, did THEN
duty to England; but they were men
of gentle hearts, who thought of the
loved at home and, for their sake
their sake alone, dreaded the carnage
of battle.-PhitadelphiG Times.

The following paragraph is taken
from the Staunton (Va.) Spectator:
"The Republican papers that are
trying to fasten the cause of the hard
and depressing times upon the Dem
ocratic administration will never tell
their readers that in 1889 Mr.. Cleve-
land left in the treasury one hundred
and eighteen million of free gold and
returned in 1893 to find only three
millions. The country is simply
suffering from the effects of Republi-
can laws and policy"

When the crisis came March @, the garrison

was confined to his quarters by an acct
dental injury.
The assault began before daylight, and
the Alamo was surrounded by Mexican
horde of at least 1900. The defenders re-
pulsed the assailants again and again, but
after daylight the gallant band found that
they could not keep the walls clear Of enc
mics. They did not retreat nor cease fight
ing. Within the thickly walled Enclosure
and rooms and halls they kept up the
struggle with pistols, dubbed muskets and
swords. The slaughter was terrible and
remorseless. At length only seven sur
vived-Travis, Crockett, Bowie and four
others. Bowie was still in his room. The
others were hailed before Santa Anna and

er in chief of Texas and assembled his
forces to besiege San Antonio. He promptly
called to his aid General Sam Houston and
was himself appointed by the body Of Texan
representatives known as the Consultation
commissioner to the United States. He re
paired to Washington and pleaded for rec
ignition of Texan independence, which had
been formally declared in a convention in
March, 1886.
His predictions and promises were made
good by Houston's sweeping victory of San
Jacinto, April 81, 1886, and after the United
States senate committee on foreign affairs
had reported favorably on the question he
returned to aid in organizing the infant re-
public. He reached there in July and la
bored necessarily until December, when he
died in harness, the first secretary of state
in Texas He was buried with military
honors, as was due to one who had fought
rs a soldier and staked his life as a revolu-
tionary patriot.
Among the choice spirits who stood by
Austin in the troublous times from 1926
was Colonel William Barrett Travis. He
was born in Alabama, bred to the law and
Joined the Texans just when the war par
ty" was opposing central government He
was in his prime, of fine stature and pleas
ing manners, and quickly gained personal
popularity. In January, 1885, he was sent
with few soldiers to the stronghold of the
Alamo, an old mission house turned into
fortress by the Mexicans and taken from
them by the Texans in the fall of 1885.
The fort was on the bank of the San An
tonic river, opposite the town, and was
only an improvised fort, naturally strong,
but not planned on engineering principles.
Travis drummed 145 men and had four
cannon mounted. Santa Anna laid siege
with enormous odds on Feb. 30 and began
avigorous bombardment Travis immedi-
ately began sending couriers to call Texas
to arms. On the oath he wrote: Fellow
citizens and compatriots, am besieged by
1000 or more Mexicans under Santa Anna.
The enemy have demanded a surrender at
discretion. Otherwise the garrison will be
put to sword If the place is taken. / have
answered the summons with cannon shot
and shall never surrender nor retreat" The
letter, which was a stirring appeal to the
country to rally, closed with the warcry,
Victory or deathp'
