ICE TEA.

Texas Womnn'S First Attempt at Max
ing the Delicious Beverage.
There is O certain good woman, the
wife of prominent lawyer of Texas,
who has never lived out of the county
in which she WAS born. Her husband
attended court at the different towns of
the state, and his wife listened to his
experiences with wonder and surprise.
The Saturday Gazette gives this story:
lie never grew tired Of eXtolling the
virtues Of "a big glass of iced tea when
a man is warm and tired" and when a
new railroad line was laid out to his ma
tive town his first commission was for
quantity OF ice.
The wife was neither surprised nor
diSplcascd to have 4 wcll-fiIlcd icc-chest.
and on the morning after the arrival of
the ice the lawyer requested her to have
iced tea for supper
1t YVES an extremely warm day, and
when he took his scat at the table he
was hot, tired and thirsty.
What was his surprise to sec, instead
of the refreshing, amber beverage Of
his souls desire, the Same old stcaming
Brown BETTY teapot, and the cups and
saucers of former days.
"Whcrc is the iced tea, Mary9" ho
asked.
''Thcrc it's" she answered. laying her
f1rcfnger on the Kissing lid of Brown
lefty; land if you can tell any differ
cncc betwixt it and plain we'll water

She had boiled the ice.

POET cARPET.cLEANER.
Tho Almost Disastrous Result Of Ono Of
TennySon's Visits.

Tho Almost Disastrous Result OF Ono Of
TennySon's Vista.
The poet Tennyson had his little mis-
haps, just as less gifted mortals do.
Ono afternoon, says the Youths Com.
panion, he called on some friends,
learned that they were not at home,
and decided to leave a note. The house
maid took him to the drawing-room,
and gave him pen, ink and paper.
When signing his name to his polite
little missive, Tennyson, by a jerk of
the elbow, overturned the ink bottle;
and great was his dismay ut seeing q
large pool of ink spreading rapidly over
his friends new white Persian carpet of
matchlcss beauty. Horror-struck, he
rang the bell. Up ran tho servant.
''Do please help mel" cried the poet.
1t happened that tho milkman had
just left q can of frothing milk at the
door, and the intelligent housemaid re-
menbered in the nick of time that new
milk, if thrown over wet ink, would
remove all traces of the despoiling fluid.
Accordingly she overturned the jug
upon the large black pool, and with
house flannel and cloths set about rub
bling and scrubbing at the stain.
Down went TennySon on his hands
and knees, rubbing and scrubbing with
his little hclpmeet. His agony of mind
lest his old friend should knock at the
door and suddenly appear on the scene
Of disaster he often described in later
days, declaring that it reached the in
finite" But with such a good will did
this strange couple work together that
every trace of ink was removed.
Here is fve-shilling piece, my good
girl" cried the poet, land God bless
you'll"
With that he seized his hat and made
for the door. Some weeks later an in
vitation to dine with his old friends
reached Tennyson. He went; and the
carpet was in no way alluded to on
either side.

A Mugwump Eccentricity.

We like to get the news from Boston. be-
cause the Boston Mugwumps always think
they are thinking what Fate will brace up
and say. Argal. this bit from our es-
teemed Boston Mugwump contemporary.
the Boston Herald. is not without the spice
OF human interest:
Tho nomin alton of MAYNARD does not depend upon
whether the voters want him for their candidate; It
depends upon whether HILL directs that It shall DO
made II HILL DEGREES that It shall he done. It will DO
done 1t is entirely Understood that nothing pre-
this but fear OF the defeat MAYNARD
at the polls but this fear will not operate to have the
influence with the Democratic voters who mako nom.
nations. 1t will have weight at all with them
against the mandate of Hill II Hill commands them
90 nominate MAYNARD. MAYNARD will be nominated
even II MAYNARD lot fit to hold the place
likely to be elected There appears only per-
adequate to procure the nomination of MAYNARD
to proventt It. That person 10 Hill"
This gives US deep and almost holy
Joy. Who is this man HILL. who prevents
the voters from voting as they want to !?
If the Democrats OF the State of New York
don't want to have Judge MAYNARD nomi-
mated. how is it that this man HILL can
make the Democrats of New York nominate
Judge MAYNARD? What interest has this
man HILL in nominating a candidate whom
his party doesn't want to have nominated
The Mugwump theory seems to be that the
New York Democrats don't want to have
Judge MAYNARD nominated. If they don't.
how can this person HILL make them
nominate Judge MAYNARD2 We under
stand that the HILL referred to is poltI-
clan. How does he maintain his political
strength II he tries to force unpopular can
didates upon his party? How can he make
himself a majority if he opposes the will OF
the majority OF his party2 How can he
keep himself in politics by opposing the
wishes Of his party?
The Mr.. HILL deprecated by the Mug
wump Boston Herald Is undoubtedly the
Hon. DAVID BENNETT HILL, a Senator in
Congress from New York. Admitting that
Senator HILL has the power to dictate the
nominations OF the Democratic party OF
New York. why does he want to dictate bad
and unpopular nominationsY To put it
brutally. what does Senator HILL get in
votes to counterbalance the terrible loss
which he is going to sustain from the Bos-
ton Mugwumps2
The Boston theory seems to be that Sena-
tor HILL is anxious to do something which
the Democratic voters OF New York don't
like. The Boston Herald Is published in a
State Of bosses. 1t ought to know something
about bosses. We should like to have it
explain. II 1t can explain, why Senator
HILL, II Senator HILL is boss. desires to
make the Democrats of New York accept
an unpopular nomination. Senator HILL
Is credited with at least ordinary shrewd-
ness. Why should he want TO make him
self unpopular? The Boston Herald. be-
loved but erring Mugwump. seems to know
as little about Judge MAYNARD and his re-
lations to the Democratic party OF New
York as it does about number Of things.

Will bismarck Be ConciliatedY

There seems to be no doubt that the ap-
preaching visit of the Russian fleet to
Toulon has wrought the French people to
degree OF self-confidence and defiance
which may make the most trivial compli-
cation preteKt for war. At last French
men really believe that they are match
for their despoilers. and that the hour OF
vengeance and OF reconquest is at hand.
Such conjuncture may well seem por-
tentous to those who remember the Hcissi-
tudes In tho aGe-long duel between Ger
many and France. 1t is manifestly time
for all Germans who love their fatherand to
draw together. and especially is 1t behtting
that the estrangement between the Emperor
and the statesman who gave unity TO Ger
many should cease.
Perhaps this thought was in the heart OF
WILLIAM III. when he sent telegram To
Prince BISMARCK expressing sorrow at
learning OF his benefactor's Illness, and
Offering him the use Of one of the imperial
castles. However tardy and inadequate

We do not believe that Brazil will, in any

possible that Brazilian territory may be d.

possible that the holder OF the Presidency may
obtain from Congress a tempo grant OF die

We do not know what our correspondent
J, means by Mr.. CLEvELANDs dash at free
J wool In 1878; but at any rate we do not
see what that point has to do with the ques-
!, tons that are now to be settled.
Our correspondent entirely misappre-
bends the nature OF tariff for revenue
only. 1t is not discriminating 1t does not
levy duties On some classes OF goods and
admit other classes free OF all duty. That is
what a protective tariff does. as. for in

duced in this country or not. or course.
under such tariff wool cannot be made

tariff with a free list Is not a revenue tariff;
It is a discriminating tariff designed for

classes.

like our correspondent should be 30 unable
to understand the character and meaning
of tariff for revenue only.

All the thousands Of cotton gins in the
State OF Mississippi have been closed because
the White Caps threaten to burn every one OF
them which gins any cotton before its price
reaches ten cents a pound. They began to
carry out tho threat fortnight ago. and have
burned SO many gins that the owners Of the
others are frightened.
These White Caps are madcaps. They are
fools and criminals. They arc disgrace to
the State. They will ruin it II they are al
lowed to have their way. The Governor ought
to see to it that they are hunted down. ar
rested. brought to trial. and punished accord
Ing to law.
There is not any prospect that the price OF
cotton will rise to ten cents pound at any
time in the future.
The White Caps are serving the interests OF
the foreign rivals OF the cotton planters In the
State OF Mississippi. They are enemies OF the
South. We cannot believe that their OK
istence will be tolerated any longer.

| this act Of reparation may appear. IL is at
| least step In the right direction; and as.
fortunately. one good impulse is apt to give
birth to another. this overture may lead to
a complete reconciliation. Could this be
brought about, feeling OF relief and re-
assurance would take the place OF the anx-
| iety with which Of late all German patriots
must have surveyed the future. Not by
arms alone nor chiefly, we're the two great
stages OF unification and ACKNOWLEDGMENT
! achieved. which we are accustomed to as
ISOLATE with the names OF Sadowa and
Sedan. II was by statecraft that BISMARCK
kept NAPOLEON III. inactive until Austria
was crushed; and it was by statecraft that
he prevailed upon the Car to keep FRAN
CTS JOSEPH neutral until the French cause
was lost. But for BISMARCK the HoHEN-
zoLLERNs might be still what they were
when he entered the Frankfort Diet,
mere henchmen OF the HApsBURas; but
for him the Danish sovereign might
still be master of the Elbe duchies and
OF Sleswick: but for him a Bonapartist
dynasty might still be regning In France.
No doubt IL war were to break out to-mor-
row. Germany would have at her command
an army superior in numbers and perhaps
Ill W JudI WHICH Ill loIU,
but the former vast disproportion between
her strength and that of her antagonist
exists no longer; and where could che now
look for the statecraft without which allies
may be alienated. neutrals may be con-
verified into enemies. and military vigor
may be paralyzed through discord In tho
council chamber and the division Of forces
in the field?
Throughout the twenty years which fol-
lowed the war from whose arbltrament
France was known to be determined to APP
peal. there lay at the root Of German con-
fdence the thought that BISMARCK was
still there. Even now. although he is adj
vanced In years and although his health is
said to be much broken. the remembrance
of what he has accomplished, and tho faith |
in his SURPRISING capabilities, have cast a |
spell upon his countrymen. and cause them |
to look upon his stalwart figure as the en-
bodiment Of the nations hope. To leave
such a man unreconciled is to mutilate the |
spiritual force Of Germany. and we may
be sure that when crisis comes. the cutlery
Of the people, will compel the Emperor to
recall the pilot Of the past With him at
the helm or near it. Germans would no
longer feel misgivings lest their ship OF
state should lose her course.
