LITTLE FLYERS.

The railroads run too many eX-
cursions out of San antonio, and
not enough into town.
The faintest whisper of the SIAN
derer is heard other than the loud
est peal of thunder, and it makes a
deeper and more lasting impression
than truth itself.
The liberal advertiser is rarely
ever a crOaker about dull times.
There is in the average man
and woman,in this nation and state,
craving and consuming desire
to eXalt themselves by abasing
their fellow creatures.
1t is this craving desire, that
causes people to give credence to
a tab Of SANDER to adOrn it with
fresh decoration, and start it forth
'On it's mission.
The political principle of a
mugwump is a fat pocket book.
There are men who are so thin
skinned, that one is tempted to
believe they were born without
cuticle.
In the play, Scrub was sure the
company was ridiculing him, be-
cause they laughed consumately,
and your thin-skinned man, is
fully as sensitive and tOuchy.
He is exceptions, touchy, petu-
liant and irritable, and discovers a
hidden snare, or attack, in the
simplest remark.
The nearest allusiOn to him is
sure to touch a raw spot on his car
cass, and stir-up his bile from the
bottom.
Thin-skinned people are loaded
ed to the muZZle with vanity and
self-conceit, and imagine them
selves to be the most important
people in the community.
The richer the average man
grows, the greater becomes his
craving for riches and the less his
inclination to exercise charity.
A newspaper that is not worth
paying for is hardly worth reading.
Dead head subscribers to a news
paper is worse than paying pawn
brokers' interest.
Free circulation periodicals have
no value as advertising mediums.
Time is flying fast with our p. p.

THE MAN WITH A BABY.
He's Always Sure to Get Seat in
a Crowded Car.

hes Always sure TO Get SeaV III
a Crowded Car.
New York World
There is one man who can al
ways get a seat in the most crowd
ed car. Women may be hanging
from straps, swinging about awk-
wardly and wondering why some
of the men don't get up, but let
this man enter and instantly sew
eral of the sitters will rise and
smilingly make room for him.
1t gets to be embarrassing to be
so honored. Old men will suffer,
cripples will hook their canes to
the strap and wabble about on
their crutches. Even women will
get up for him. That seems rather
strange, but it is a demonstrated
fact.
Who are these men whom the
people delight to honor? Who are
they, for whom crowded vehicles
have no terrops ? Soldiers ? States
men? Politicians Editors ? Doc
tors ? Clergymen No.
They are men who carry babies.
They can always get seat. The
great ones of the earth may have
to scramble and elbow and stand
up, but the man carrying a baby
can alwas sit down, and his neigh
Dor will "ootsy-tootsey" the baby
and give it his walking-stick to
play with and ask how old it is and
whether it is a girl or boy.
All of which goes to show that it
isn't such a terrible thing to be a
married man after all.

KNOWLEDGE

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
Jess expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect laXa-
tive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispel ing colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver aud Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is fer sale by all drug

THE SEAT OF LEARNING.
The Maintenance Of the State Uni
yersity

| The Maintenance Of the State Uni
versity.
The proposition is made to maintain
the state university upon plan similar
to that in vogue for the maintenance of
public schools. That is to say, through
a specific tax levy, not to exceed the
actual needs of the institution. instead
of an annual appropriation, as is the
present law. House File 5S offers these
provisions.
Senator Morse called up this bill yes
terday morning, and moved that it be
placed upon the calendar, but Senator
Eaton was suspicious that it contem-
plated an increase in the tax levy. 1t
was Senator Mcmillan who dlsabused
his mind of the folly, and Senator Gran
dali explained that the annual appro-
pration for the university is S65,000,
while the tax proposed would bring the
amount up to SS7,000-no more than
the growth and additional needs of the
institution will require.
The discussion that followed devel-
Oped an astonishing state of affairs, If
Senator Davis premises are correct.
He charged unequivOcally that the op-
position to the bill springs from the
desire OF the country members to kill
the legislative reapportionment bill.
He proceeded to allege that an undue
and unfair representation is given the
cities in the reappOrtionment bill, and
gave the warning that it will be bitterly
opposed. Senator Mcmillan supported
the bill with vigOr, and moved to make
it special order for 2:30 this afternoon.
This finally prevailed.

DUNsS REVIEW
no Essential Change in the
Monetary Situation.

New YORK, April S.-R. G. Dun & Co. 8
Weekly Review of Trade says: Speculation
has been renewed in wheat, with an advance
here of about &c OIL sales of 100000 bu.
Western receipts have been 2S30O00 bn in
four days this week, and Atlantic exports
only 700, 900 bu. and the stocks in sight con-
tinue unprecedented. Corn dropped l2c and
oats 133c on small transactions, while pork
fell 81 per barrel. and lard 60c, and hogs sec
per 100 lbs. Money at Chicago is firm, with
large requirements, aud general trade salts
factory. Receipts of wheat, sheep, butter
and oats exceed last years for
the week, but in other products
decrease appears especially In c=rcd
meats, corn, oats, rye, hogs and wool. Trade
improves at Milwaukee. AT st. Paul a slight
increase appears. The monetary situation
is not essentially changed. The great exc ess
of imports over exports continues, the de-
crease in exports from New York being
S1,376 900 for the first week of April. Securi-
ties have been stronger, and decisions of
courts in labor controversies have given
much encouragement to Western buyers bu
there is little evidence of foreign disposition
to purchase, and unfavorable crop reports s
tend to discourage purchasers of stocks. Tn e
business failures occurring throughout the
country during the last seven days number
22j, as compared with totals of 1874 last week.
For the corresponding week of last year the
fgureS were S0S.
