Duplex Names.

Double barrtled surnames, of course,
have long ceased to bca novelty. Anybody
who is anybody has insisted for the last 30
years on giving his friends the unnecessary
trouble of directing their letters with Il
pair of surnamcs, where one would seem
to answer every reasonable purpose 1t
was the peers and landed propretors who
began this little game of spelling your
patronymic with a decorative hyphen.
They chose to marry heiresses or inherit
property from distant branches of their
families, and to advertise the fact by as
summing both names their own and their
wives, or their own and their benefattors',
as If by dint of acquiring Il couple of es-
tates they had duplicated their personality
and went about thcnceforth as living Jan
uses, like the Siamcse twins or the two
headed nightingale. They were all of
them Pelham Clintons and Curzon- Howes
and Ashley Coopcrs; they rcluiccd in their
duality aS Agar Ellises and Bootle-Wil-
brahams; they blossomed forth with de
light into tandem pairs of Leveson- Cover
and Knatchbull- Hugcsscns.
Some of them indeed even went step
further, and appeared, like Mrs. MaA-
props Cerebus, as "tpree gentlemen rolled

Travel in Spain.

One of the greatest charms of Spain to
reflective mind Is the entire absence OF
anything like an atmosphere of labor.
There Is none of the fretting energy OF
breadwinning, and the traveller in her
provinces seems to himself to have stepped
out of the nineteenth century and crossed
the magical portal into the sixteenth for
anything he can discover that bespeaks
what we term the spirit of the age" No
one Is in hurry even tAe beggars whine
lazily. Toiling and spinning and harvest
Ing Is not a part of their code of life
There is no planning or thought for the
morrow, for they know the prodigal Ceres
will care for her children, and the sun
Drowned idlers fall asleep on the cool mar
BILE steps of the cathedral or by the road
side in the shade of the olive woods, and
no one thinks to question their privilege
or right to do SO. They live for the sole
enjoyment of each day by itself. Now and
again the air is stirred by the sounds Of
preparation for some picturesque process.
sion or festival in honor of favorite saint
or for some royal tournament or bull fight,

enjoyment, and the thought or anxiety Of
their daily bread does not enter into the
question of the hour.-Art Interchange.

A WAR STORY,
Mending the Old Flag.

In the silent gloom Of garrett room,
with cobwebs round 1t creeping,
From day to day the old flag lay
veteran worn and sleeping.
Dinghy old each wrinkled fold,
by the dust of years was shaded;
Wounds of the storm were upon its form
The crimson stripes were faded.
Twas mournful sight in the day.twilight,
This thing Of humble seeming,
That once so proud DER the cheering crowd,
Had carried its colors cleaning;
Stained with mold were the braids of gold
That had flashed In the sun rays kissing
of faded hue was its field of blue.
And some of the stars were missing.
Three Northern maids and three from glades
Where dreams the Southland weather,
with glances kind, and their aims entwined,
Came up the stair together;
They gazed awhile with thoughtful smile,
At the crouching form before them;
with cinging hold they grasped its folds,
And out of the darkness bore them.
They healed its scars, they found its stars,
And brought them all together,
(Three northern maids and three from glades,
Where smiles the Southland woathep
They mer ded away through the summer day,
Made glad by an inspiration,
To fling 1t high at the summer sky
On the birthday of our nation.
In the brilliant glare of the summer air,
with brisk breeze round 1t creeping.
Newly bright through the glistening light,
The flag went gladly sweeping;
Cleaning and bold we're its braids of gold,
And flashed in the sun rays kissing,
Red, white and blue were of deepest hue,
And none of the stars were missing.

The Great FREELY,

The great iimfly-klatcr noctilucus-is
an inhabitant of the savannahS of most of
the warmer parts of America and the West
Indian islands. 1t l. said to attain length
of = inches. In the gloom of night these
flies are extremely luminous, and the effect
is brilliant. The light chiefly proceeds
nom four parts-viz, from two glandular
spots behind the eyes, and one under each
wing. They have the power to cut off the
light at will, in which case the glandular
spots become perfectly Opaque The light
of this wonderful insect by itself is such
that if the creature be held in the palm of
the hand, print or manuscript is as easily
read as by IA candle. The aboriginal ma
tives cage these creatures and make use of
them, it is alleged, as lanterns. Ladies'
adorn themselves with this electriclike
luminary.
1t is related of Don Domingo Condo of
Colombia that he would appear on the
evening promenade with large FREELY or
namenting the buck. of his broad hat,
while IL band of smaller luminous insects
surrounded it, The same Spaniard lighted
his palace with trcilics in silver cages
The display must have been enchanting
for at one time the light is ruddy at an
other the tinge is greenish, then there is a
change TO golden yellow. 1t is stated that
when the Spaniards We're about to land one
of their expeditions against Mexico a pan
10 was caused by these luminaries The
host of fitting lights on land was supposed
to be an indication of the enemy arousing
their camp to resist the attack
When the English were attacking the
West India islands, the flreflies were taken
to be Spanish army advancing with burn
ing matches against them, and the upshot
was hasty retreat to the ships.-Au the

MISCELLANY.
Gods NOblemen.

In the highway of life there are brave men, and
true,
Who always will stand for the right,
And contend to the last with courage and faith
Though standing alone in the fight.
The royal word Duty, stands first in their creed,
They heed not the brides OF the world;
But. taking the Bible as compass and chart,
Their banner is boldly unfured.
In political work they true to the core,
The country best good they will SEEK
Regardless of self OF public applause,
For the right and the truth they will speak.
In church they are humble, and willing to serve
To rescue the humble and lost.
If good be accomplished, or souls can be saved,
They never will reckon the cost.
If preachers, they seek for the lowly and poor
Bring balm to the sorrowing heart
They comfort the sick in the chamber of pain
And strength to the weak will impart.
Like Elijah of old they denounce every wrong,
BE IL found In pulpit pew;
And stand for the truth IL they stand there alone,
And to Gods great commission are true.
mand
They seek for no pleasanter road,
But journey with gladness in darkness or light,
The path that their Savior has trod
Heavens rich benedctons upon them shall rest
When conflicts and trials are past,
And the golden gates open to bid them come home
And "wel done " is their welcome at last.

Last Friday night the Houston
( bar held meeting to discuss the
question Of placing a bill before the
legislature to obtain another dis
trict court for Harris county
The report of the commit
tee appointed to form a bill
to be submitted to the legislature,

expressed emphatic condemnation
OF the bill now pending in the
Legislature providing for a division
OF the county into two judicial
districts.
The new paper to be published
in this city in the interest of the

some interested people.
Another disastrous fire visited
this city last Tuesday night, en-
failing a loss estimated at about
$4,000. Six buildings were totally
destroyed, thereby consuming all

the bayou. The buildings burned
were occupied by Bowser & Wilson

ton as residences, Otto Gersteman
saloon, James Chareton and w. l..
Davis as blacksmith and wood
workers shops. The fire originated
in Lula Gray's house. Water pres

was blowing.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY ,, 1895

Brooklyn strikers get as usual
the hot end OF the poker. 1t is time
that these repeated failures edu-
Gated the workingmen to the I'M
derstanding Of the truth, that they
are giving their opponents all the
advantages in these recurring
strikes. What they need is to 60
the other way to work. Bring in
a new law to bear on the case. In
stead OF fighting the incorporated
bodies, intrenched as they are in
legal forms and rights and backed
by all the power Of cash and the
courts, let the great body Of the
workingmen Of the country band
themselves together politically to
rescind laws that bear heavily
against them and enact those
that will give them the tri-
bunal of arbitration that they so
g'eatly need for their protection.
There is no difficulty in accom-
plishing this with a little labor.
All that they need is to put into
competent hands the formulation
Of such laws, compelling all cor
poratiOns employing certain pre-
scribed number Of wOrkmen to
abide by the same, as will effectu-
ally settle all controversies through
legally appointed arbitrator. Let
the working forces Of the country
make the support Of such a meas
ure the indispensable requirement
OF their vote for any member of
Congress and they can send to
Washington men who will do their
bidding. In no other way will
they be able to secure what they
want, and in no other way will
these strifes such as periodically
atflict the country and paralyze its
trade be brought to short stop.
There is no attention paid to the
law regulating the presence Of
minors in the saloons during an
election excitement. This should
not be. The kids make nearly all
the loud talk that is heard.
The labor OF San Antonio does
not need a squirt Of a couple Of
weeks before election, but such
steady employment at fair wages
the year round as will meet the
wants OF the laborer and his fam.
lily.
An Arkansas paper declares that
the devil is woman and that she
is only eighteen years old. A mis-
take. 1t is the eighteen-year-old
women that raise the hair on the
old devils Of the other sex.

heat this present temperature. Let
us keep cool and perhaps the Their
mometer will rise.

her charms as model it is said that those
for whom Miss Arthur poses cannot find
her equal.
Who is this beautiful model? Not many
even of her closest friends know.
She is Miss Blanche Bayliss, says Tho
Commercial Advertiser. There are four
sisters in the family, of whom one married
a German noblen an and lives in London,
her home being fashionable and artistic
center. The trio remaining are girls of in
dependence and ideas, and they determined
to support themselves, to keep together
and to keep their social position, and they
have succeeded.
One of the girls is an artist In another
way. She has evolved the art of making a
gown, hat, bit of drapery which viii
"come out" amazingly well in a picture.
She visited the artists whom she knew and
took orders for supply lying studio wardrobes.
A picture gown like stage gown must be
accented, and to know just where this in
defnab1e touch must be is a talent which
the eldest Miss Bayliss possesses.
Her sister, the model, came to her pres.
emit coveted position by obligingly posing
for artist friends until her fame spread SO
fast and SO far she was induced to make a
profession of her pastime
1t Is craze with society women to pose
for artists, but very, very few have the de-
icious beauty of face and grace of figure
and the indescribable chic atmosphere Of

asked:

"She has new piece called sFanchon. ."
"New! Why, she toured Europe with
that when was boy. But tell me how
the Grant monument is getting along.''
"First rate. More than 81 so has been
subscribed in the last three years, some of
it in cash."
"That's goodi And what place does
New York hold in the League recordi"
"Placei Why, the very tiptop of courser'
"Good enoughl We are the peoplei Any

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

Nurse Soldiers in Crimea.

She Left Her Comfortable Home to
Nurse Soldiers in Crimea.
On the fifteenth day of May Florence
Nightingale celebrates her seventy fifth
birthday-as great woman and as a
great public benefactor, and as much OF
q heroine as she was forty years ago,
when she went forth from her comfort
able home in England, not as a mere
nurse to attend TO the wants of the
wounded and dying British soldiers in
the Crimea, but as fearless organizer
of great field d-hospital system, which
the British war office authorities, staff
officers and generals had looked upon as
a mere matter of afterthought in the
preliminary arrangements of one of the
most difficult campaigns in the history
of the civilized world, writes Fitz Roy
Gardner in an interesting illustrated
sketch of Florence Nightingale at
Seventy-Five" in the May Ladies'
Home Journal. No one had thought of
the physical sufferings which would
have to be undergone by the brave SOL
diers who were sent out with the pros
pect of long winter campaign before
them, without any adequate hospital
arrangements having been made. When
the great mistake was realized it was
a woman who came forward to rectify
the terrible blunder; and it may easily
be imagined that obstacles We're thrown
in her way. But the public opinion
was soon aroused, and when Miss Flor
ence Nightingale arrived at the Crimea
with her band of nurses she had the
whole British people at her back.
