Delightful Summer Trip to the East.


 On account of the Triennial Conclave of Knights Templars at Boston, Mass, August 26 to 30 various railroad com panies have generously offered the Knights Templar and the public an ex- ceedingly low rate of one fare for the round trip. The straight one fare round trip rate requires that passengers shall ga and return over the same route while by the payment of small difference a va riable route may be obtained. That is, going one way and returning another great many very desirable side trips may be taken advantage of at very small cost.
 This is undoubtedly the best opportuni- ty ever offered to the people of the south to visit all points of interest in the north and east at a nominal cost. Among the most interesting places that can be visit ed are Niagara Falls, Thousand Isles, Rapids of the St. Lawrence river, White mountains, Chautauqua, Saratoga and other famous watering places of the east.
 It has been decided to put tickets on sale in Birmingham August IS, continu- ing until August 25. Tickets will be of sufficient duration to allow all arties time enough to visit the places mentioned.
 Mr. Joe Frank of this city has made arrangements with the Louisville and Nashville railroad and it's connecting lines to carry a special party on this oc- casion, and he will be glad to answer all questions pertaining to rate, sleeping car accommodations, etc.
 At this season of the year, trip via Cincinnati is particularly interesting, ow- ing to the climate and the diversity of the country traversed.
 For any other information call on MT. Frank at his office, or call on or write R. r. Beasly, passenger agent Louisville and Nashville railroad.

She loved music and was a student Before the death angel had finished his song she asked that she be buried in her grand piano. It was doubtless the strangest sepulcher of the century. During the funeral service choral was played upon her favorite instrument. and then the strings were torn out and in the tuneless box. as dead as the clay that was put in it, the body of the young pianist was laid to rest.-Cincinnati Post.

Served Him Right.

A certain young man living on the Northside went out to call the other even ing upon a young woman of his ac- quaintance whom he especially delighted to honor He was quite a young man, and his experience with florists had been neither deep nor varied. It occurred to him. however, on this particular evening to stop at a flower merchants and choose some blossoms for the pretty girl toward whose home he was vending his way.
 "Give me a bunch of roses" he said carelessly to the man of nosegays.
 ''Yes sir; how many, please?'
 "Oh, a couple of dozen or so."
 In few minutes they were ready and the purchaser was feeling in his vest pocket for a $2 bill to pay for them. ''How much?" he asked before the bill made its appearance.
 .Eighteen dollars, sir" replied the flor ists assistant with what his nearer said afterward seemed diabolical glibness.
 The young man felt giddy for a mo- ment. He had unwittingly selected roses that were 75 cents apiece. But, as has been said, he was very young and 1t seemed to him very serious thing to go down before that flower clerk. So he paid the money and took his bouquet, s.and." he says, "I spent the next hour watching pretty girl nibble and chew up SIS worth of roses. .'i-Chicago Tribune.

A Fallacy About Gold.

Among the common expressions on the silver question is the following: That the worlds supply of gold is inadequate to do the business of the world.
 The proposition would be pertinent if in fact the world was doing, or trying to do, business with gold alone. In all gold using countries silver is largely used, and in this country we are not using Tar from equal amounts of gold ana sliNer. If every man would reflect on his every day personal dealings and experience 1n business and money matters he would find great help in satisfying his doupts on this money question. Where is the man in all Texas who is doing, or trying to do business with gold alone? Where is the man in all Texas who does not do business on equally satisfactory terms with silver, gold and paper, and who does not give and take checks payable in dol lars simply, without caring for or think ing of the kind of dollars?
 There is no greater fallacy than all this talk about one kind of money TOT our business, when all three kinds Of our circulation are as good as the otnef' Think for yourself and apply your own every day experience to the supJect.- Houston Daily Post.

In a certain country neighborhood there was a free silver meeting held, and it in cluded a basket dinner. The meeting was held in the school house. Now, the floor of the school house sagged, and looked like it would fall in every minute. It had not been broken by the weight of the silyerites. but by the crowd that gathered at the school commencement The dinner was served on blanks set up on posts. After dinner several men lin- gered behind to smoke, while the others went in the house to hear the free silver orator. Just as he was beginning to expa- tiate on the crime of 1873 crash of tim Der was heard. The people in the house rushed madly out, thinking the house was falling. But the crash came from the outside. The men who fingered behind to smoke sat down on the tables, and they had fallen with crash. The silver speech had a moving effect. The free sil- yer orator claimed that he brought down the house.

 There were eighty-six delegates at the Washington silver conference. Five of the delegates were from Alabama.
