WHAT'S IN A NAME.

In looking over list OF news
papers published in various parts Of
the country, some funny names are
found. For instance we find The
Hot Blast, published at Anniston,
Alabama. We don't know whether
the name represents the climate
down there or whether ,he paper is
the special organ of His Satanic
Majesty. The same State has The
Uire Grass. published at Dothan,
The Pi0wboy, at Edwardsville and
The Humn'ing Bird at East Lake.
The Hire Grass ought to be pref
ty tough customer and the P10wb0y
make the dirt fly, while the Hum
mtng Btrd aums around and catch
es things on the fly. Arkansas
comes to the front with the
Thomas Cat. published at the Hot
Springs. This paper makes the fur
fly when any other paper strokes 1t
up the wrong way. Florida de-
serves credit for papers that evident
ly try TO cultivate much neglected
faculties, us we'll AS orange groves
and paper cities. There is the staid
old Philosopher, published at Cres-
cent City aud the AdOOcate Of Com.
mon Sense, is issued ~ Jacksonville,
the metropolis OF the State. There
ought to be an advocate Of this kind
III every State of the Union and
they should be made Democratic
organs too, for we need them badly
just now. Indiana has the Game
Btrd, published at Derby. Papers
that 60 gunning for this one, have
to be good wing shot, In order to
bring down the game.
There is paper published at
Tahlequah, the capital Of Indian
Territory, that is not safe to mon
key with, either. 1t is called the
Hd,an ArrOw and the shafts from
Its quiyer pierce the hide Of many a
good qulIl-driver.
AT EddyyilIe, Kentucky, is pub
lished the Tale of Trio cities. We
don't see how it gets admitted to
the mails. The matter might be
reversed, however.
Mis- oari has valuable paper
published at Tuscumbia, called .he
Eye opener. We suppose it is
either published at the Blind In
stItute or is the special organ Of a
Matrimonial Bureau.
Tennessee has comet at John
son City. 1t is probably a very
bright paper. The 7'omahawk at
Mountain City, cuts with keene
edge and sometimes peuetratos the
dullest brain. 1t has also been
known to "raiso the hair" of it's
enemies.
Texas has cute sort Of paper,
published at Jefferson, and IS called
.he JimPlecutc. Another live paper
Of the "Lone Star State" is the
PHsiler, that rustles forth at a
town called Robert Lee.
Oklahoma has a paper that casts
its shadow before. it is promul-
gated at Enid, and called Comino
EUeRfs.
Davenport, Iowa, has valuable
paper called the Chiidrens' Homs
Finder. All "Innocents Abroad
and Babes in The WoUds," arc
specially referred to this parental
7 paper.

The members Of the Legislature
"have the laugh" on Senator Stuart
F. Reed of Clarksburg, as well a.
many other members. On the
evening OF the Governors recep.
ton Senator Reed eng rged a cab to
take himself and party OF ladies
and gentlemen to the reception.
The cabman took Mr.. Reed and
party to remote part Of the city,
which the cabman informed them
was the Executive Mansion. Mr..
Reed thought the house didn't look
like the Governors mansion but
the party opened the gate and pro-
ceedcd to the door Of the alleged
mansion. They were surprised to
iiud the door closed and no bright
light shining from the windows.
They concluded they had better
ring the door bell to see If anyone
was about the premises. A sorv-
ant came TO the door. and Informed
Mr.. Reed that that was not the
Governors mansion. The cabman
had made q mistake, bat was gone
before he could be recalled. Sen.
ator Reed and party trudged about
IN the rain. and after long time
found the Executive Mansion. In
the meantime the cabman had gone
back to the hotel aud got another
load OF people, took them TO the
same house and dumped them out
as before, and was gone before the
mistake was discovered. The cab.
man kept the thing up lill during
the evening hc had left some twenty
or thirty people at the wrong house.
Every cabfdll found their way
through rain and mud to the Gov
ernOr's mansion and did not wait
to inform the next load OF unfor-
tunates Of the cabman's mistake.
The occurrence has created great
deal OF amusement at the capital.

COURT COULDN'T MOVE HIM
Ex-Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Mur- phy Who Guarded His Records, Speaks in Praise of Paine's Gel
 cry Compound.

Ex-Collector of Internal Revenue Thomas F. Murphy of Maine, who was brought into prominence all over the country during President Cleveland's first administration by refusing to allow certain civil officials to peruse his rec ords, heartily indorses Paine's celery compound.
 MT. Murphy is a keen observer. He is a writer of no mean ability, has been employed as editor and editorial writer on several papers, is recognized through out Maine as a forcible and convincing speaker, and is universally liked: At present he represents a big Boston house on the road, where his warm geniatty makes him welcome to every hotel and railway train.
 In the smoking compartment of par Tor car last week he was praising Paine celery compound to a fellow passenger The person to whom he addressed his conversation had been laid up with the grip. The malady left him In bad way, a sort of depression of spirits and dls- inclination for business.
 ''I felt the same way said MT Mur- phy. After wrestling week with the grip it left me depressed and weak. One flight of stairs was enough to make me puff and wheeze like a leaky bellows. A mile walk would almost floor me. Head aches began the moment l got out or Deu, ana Iell dDOut dS Iiltdu eS any oAS could for the whole day Hearing so much about Paines celery compound l made up my mind to try it, and I'll tell you how it worked It was like close ap- plications of soothing lotions to a scorch- ed finger. After a few doses found that on retiring I soon dropped into sound. refreshing sleep. In less than week I was myself again. My eyes, which are none too strong at their best, but which burned and ached till I began taking Paine's celery compound, assumed their normal condition and really seemed stronger than before the grip marked me for q victim. I can walk five miles now and feel none the worse for it.
 My wife and boy are taking Paine's celery compound this spring"

 jurist, was born in Indiana on March IT, 1892. He was educated in country schools and at the university at Bloom ington. Ind. He then studied law at Corydon, Ind, was admitted to the bar in 1853 and became a successful lawyer. He was in the legislature in '61, but re- signed to become lieutenant-colonel of the Thirty-eighth Indiana regiment
 He was promoted to colonel of the Ffty-third Indiana in '63, and on August II, '63, after the fall of Vicksburg, was made brigadier-general of volunteers; he was so severely wounded at Atlanta that he was prevented from seeing further service. After the war he resumed his practice at New Albany, Ind. In 1866 MT. Gresham ran for congress as a re- publican, but was defeated In 1869 President Grant appointed him United States judge for the district of Indiana. and in 80 he was -an unsuccessful can didate for United States senator. He resigned his judgeship in 1882 to accept the place of postmas ter-general in Pres ident Arthurs cabinet, and in '8f was made secretary of the treasury. In Oc tober of that year he returned to the United States bench. In '93 he was ap- pointed secretary of state by President Cleveland, which position he still holds.
 MT. Gresham is now very ill, and may be compelled to resign that position.

Circular No. IS.
 Selling dates of tickets for the Houston reunion have been extended to the 18th, and parties can now buy tickets either on the 17th, 18th or 18th of May, which ever they prefer.
 The rate remains the same as stated in circuar No. 12, dated April 23 from these headquarters, which is again sent out for the information of all concerned and to which your attention is invited, since the issue of which a rate has been made for Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas of one fare for the round trip.
 Please publish all these matters in your papers, and also that all who desire can go on these rates, whether veterans or not.
 s Note that your extension tickets must be surrendered to the joint agent at Houston.
 I have just returned from a trip to Houston, and personally inspected the "Winnie Davis auditorium" in which the convention is to be held, and looked into all the arrangements made for the comfort and convenience of the Veter- ans.
 The "Winnie Davis auditorium" is beautiful beyond description and will be to you a wonder and revelaton, as it is the finest building ever erected in honor of the veterans, and the Houston management are doing all in their power to make a great success of the reunlon both as to your reception and accommo- dation while there.
 I advise all who can do so to attend the reunion, and you can safely advise your neighbors to go, as 1t will probably be the greatest. and most memorable gathering of Confederate veterans which will ever take place, as the gallant old heroes are passing away very fast. Fraternally,
