OF tender love, affection for her child.

Honor the Dear old Mother.
Time has scattered the snowy flakes
on her brow, plowed deep burrows on
her cheek-but is she not sweet and
beautiful now? The lips that have
kissed many hot tear from the child
ish cheek are the sweetest lips in all the
world.
The eye is dim, yet it glows with the
rapt radiance of holy love which can
never fade.
Oh, yes, she is dear old mother.
Her sands of time are nearly run out,
but feeble as she is, she will go farther
and reach down lower for you than any
other on earth.
You cannot walk into midnight where
she cannot see you; you cannot enter
prison whose bars shall keep her out;
you can never mount scaffOld too high
for her to reach that she may kiss and
bless you.
In evidence Of her deathless love
when the world shall despise and for
sake you-when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you up in her feeble
arms, carry you home and tell you of all
your virtues until you almost forget
that your soul is distigured by vices

That Mid-winter Exposition that
San Francisco is preparing to open
on the first day of the new year
promises to be the most extensive
yet opened on the Pacific slope. An
earnest effort is on foot to remove
the exhibits of the Worlds fair to
San Francisco, and nearly half a
million has been subscribed by a
few wealthy Californians for that
purpose. The park In which the
Mid-winter is to be held covers 100
acres, and is one of the sightliest in
the world. There will be five prin-
cipal buildings devoted to the arts
and agriculture, while applications
are being nov made by several
states that would like to make
state exhibits. California has de-
termined to show all that the west
ern slope car muster of attractions,
and there will be a display second
only to the one that has drawn the
civilized world to the city by the
lakes. When California inverts her
golden horn and pours out its
treasures for the inspection and adj
miration Of the world, she will
open the eyes Of the East with as
constituent at the products of that
new West.

Memphis Public Ledger in it's
attempt to make a point against
the Republican party says that
cotton was a cent higher one year
ago than it is today. This may be
true of the Memphis market, but
it does not hold good in this
market where the price is half a
cent lower than it was one year
ago. Why there should be this
difference in comparative prices
does not appear, unless the Ledger
strained a trace on quotations to
make a point on politics..

The LIGHT does boast OF the num-

no superior in this respect in Tex

this assertion is in an eXamina-

MERELY A DRIFTING RACE.
Wind Gnve Out and the Vigilant and
Valkyrie Were lowed In

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The greatest float
of boats that ever passed through the
narrows passed through or it's way to
the Hook this morning to accompany
the great racers sValkyrie and Vigilant
Ia their international races from the
Sandy Hook light ship for the American
cup. Almost every place within 500
miles of New York was represented by
one or more boats and every one had
aboard all it could hold comfortably.
Thousands of enthusiastic persons had
delightful days outing but the first
effort to pull of tho international race
was failure. This was mainly due to
lack OF wind, but Americans saw
Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie. the pride of
Great Britain. pass the Vigilant, the
pride of America. and were compelled TO
acknowledge that the English boat had
outgeneraled the American al every
point of the com pass.
When the wind held steadily the
Vigilant held her own; but when it be-
came drifting match the valkyrie
gained the advantage. Throughout the
contest it was more OF drifting match
than race. The wind at no time
reached the dignity of sailing breeze
and the yachts came home in tow.
The next race will be on SATURDAY.. It
Will DO over the same course as to-day.
