A Merry Clergyman.

The Rev. Joseph Haven. who
preached in Rochester, N. H., during
the last quarter of the last century,
has been always remembered for his
genial spirit and his inexhaustihle
humor. One story told Of him has
many parallels, but it is quite as
likely to be true in his case as in any.
A boy had been guilty Of some
grave ofIense, and yet would not con-
fess It.
II can tell who did it," said the
parson, and accordingly he called to-
gether all the boys suspected, and
explained to them that he had con-
fined rooster under a kettle in
darkened room. One after another
they must pass in and touch the ket-
tie; when the guilty boy touched it,
he might expect to hear the rooster
crow.
The lads filed in, and out again,
and were made to display their fin
gers. All but those OF one lad were
sooty; he, the guilty one, had not
ventured TO touch the tclltale kettle.
one day the old MINISTER was meas
uring some land, carrying one end OF
the chain while a young man carried
the other Just as they were draw
ing II tight, the young man quoted
the adage:
isaiah can only go the length OF
his chain.

1T does not take fool with two
eyes to understand why the north
ern democrats should applaud
Hogg or any one else that should
refuse to accept the sugar bounty.
What puzzles the ordinary mind
is that any man in Texas should
applaud it's governor for refusing
to take the money that is legiti-
mately due the state under act of
congress. HOgg has an unques-
toned right to make an ass of him.
self, but he has no right to play
ducks and brakes with the funds
of the state. That money was as
legitimately a part of the state
property as any other funds in the
state treasury and to refuse it is
virtually to deplete the treasury
to that amount without any
warrant of law, or of horse sense.

EDWIN BOOTH, the greatest actor
on the American stage of his day,
is no more. Day by day, despite
the most loving care of his friends
and the most untiring efforts of his
medical attendants, the pulses of
his life slowed down to sluggish
ness and stopped. The great drama
of his life ended in WEAKNESS and
inaction, partial paralysis having
set it's seal upon the physical pow
ers of the greatest Hamlet that the
American stage has ever produced.
His death had long been looked
for, as his physicians gave no hope
of his Improvement. The curtain
falls on the closing scene of life
rich in all the fulfillment of it's
early promise.

THE refusal of the Tn tied States
to permit the eXtradition of Be H.
'avides, on the ground that he is an
American citizen will probably
lead to revision, of the laws gov
erning eXtradition between the
two countries. In Mexico it is
thought that this law will be mod
flied so as to make each country
surrender it's own citizens to tie
authorities of the other when the
offence is committed on that
others soil. This is "a concession
that the United States should be
very wary in making. The ways
of the Mexican justice are very
summary and often end before the

SOUTHWEST TEXAS is booked to

her prestige as a watermelon state
