A PARTICLE OF THE BRAIN OF
TOM PAINE.

In giving an account of the recent ex-
hibition in London of the works and
mementoes or relics of Tom Paine Mon
cure ID. Conway closes the description
of the articles shown by saying: amid
all these things was little dried sub
stance shown under glass by Mr.. Louis
Breeze, beside it little certificate of au-

Many political critics who are heap

lands head for forgetting the advice of
Washington to avoid foreign entangle-
mcnts, were about the most rabid advo-
Gates of the annexation of the Sandwich
Islands to the United States. One of
them especially, whose condemnation of
the administration is too deep for words
and expresses itself by lofty silence on
the Venezuelan matter, would have an

of the United States had lasted six
months longer. OF course we mean
President Harrison, who had a following

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

BY raising less cotton the last year and
sufficient supplies in corn, oats, wheat
and cattle to supply the cotton planta-
TONS the planters have been enabled at
least to catch up or get even, and this
year the prospect before them is most
encouraging. The cotton planters, at
their recent meeting at Me;nphis, gave
some excellent advice to cotton planters
in the form of the following resolution,
tOwt:
"Resolved, That we call the attention
of Southern cotton growers to the fact
that they are masters Of the situation.
The crop Of 1895 being less than 7,000,-
600 bales renders it entirely feasible by
further and reasonable reduction of
acreage during the present year to ma
terially advance the value Of cotton and
thus insure a safe and substantial profit
that cannot fail to bring increased pros
perity to the South, not only as the i'm
mediate result of such profit, but by en-
HANGING the value Of our lands and turn
ing hither the tide of immigration so
much needed for the development Of the
natural resources of this great section.
We earnestly urge all producers of cotton
to take advantage of this golden oppor-
tunity and to continue the wise policy
adopted during the past season of making
the South self-supporting by first produc-
ing an abundant supply of corn, hay,
meat and other like commodities for home
consumption, decreasing the cotton
acreage still further, thus guarding
against the dangers of overproduction
and leaving the cotton as a surplus crop
We ask thorough cooperation of all
farmers, planters, merchants, news
papers and all the business and other or
CARNATIONS interested in the develop
ment and welfare of the South in giving
wide publicity to these resolutions and
aiding us to secure general and hearty
with their important sugges-
tons. We invite the attention of the
planters and farmers of the South to the
great importance of adopting method of
holding cotton until such time as it can
be placed on the markets of the world to
the greatest advantage"

Arkansas Pass has cause to put on met
ropolitan airs rs one of the great sea-
port cities of the American coast line.
For the Hart line of steamers running
boats between Philadelphia and the West
Indies have determined to establish Il
line Of steamers to run from Philadel-
phia to Arkansas Pass. 1t is authorita-
lively stated that the jetty and break
water that have been built in the Aran-
sas Pass harbor have so deepened the
water in the harbor that vessels draw
ing twenty-five feet of water will soon
be enabled to enter it with safety.
If the Nicaragua canal is built Arkansas
Pass will at once become an important
seaport, and of course large city. There
seems to be every prospect that it will
be built. 1t is now said that the report
made by the government commission dis
cournging the scheme was influenced by
enemies of the canal, and that its pro-
jectors will be able to refute the state
ments prejudicial to it made by the COM
mission and fully establish its practical
bility. But even if that canal is not con-
structed, Arkansas Pass, while it will
not grow so fast, must grow into city
of considerable Importance from the nat
ural growth of Texas resources and the
necessity for an outlet to foreign mar
kets.

4 BAD MAN RUNS AMUCK.
A Sensational Affair Occurs in Little
Town in Northeast Texas.

Paris Tex, Jan. 27.-(Special.)- Hon-
ev Grove was the scene of a highly SEN
sationol affair last night, in which a num-
her of people came near losing their lives
on account of husbands jealous rage
Several weeks ago Thursden Wilker-
son got himself in jail for violating the
local option law. When he got out he
went home, and, it is alleged, gave his
wife n severe beating. She was in deli
cate condition at the time and gave pre-
mature birth to child. which came near
causing her death. He was arrested for
this, and rs soon as his wife recovered
his '' examining trial was held, at which
his wife testified as to his treatment of
her. On Saturday he was released on
bond. Last night he went to the house
where she was stopping, entered the room
where she was alone and told her he had
come to kill her She begged him to
spare her, as she only told what she was
compelled to. Wilkerson drew pistol,
but she grappled with him, and as he
pulled the trigger the hammer caught
the flesh on her hand between the thumb
and forefnger. DR.. johnson and his
wife, who were in another part of the
house, heard the struggle and ran into
jerked the pistol loose, tearing his wife's
hand in a CHASTITY manner, and fired on
Mrs Johnson. Johnson wrested the pis-
tol from Wilkerson's grasp. WiIkerson
then dealt the doctor stunning blow and
ran. The doctor pursued him into the
streets and fred three shots at him. Will
kerson ran into another house, and when
Dr. johnson followed him there he was
set upon by several men, who did not
understand what had happened, and was
roughly handled. Wilkerson went to
another place with the police and sew
eral citizens in hot pursuit. When they
approached him he seized chair and
struck several savage blows. one of which
landed on the head of Will Bryant,
knocking him down and inflicting an ugly
scalp wound. He was finally overpow-
cred.
The affair caused great sensation and
some of the more impetuous wanted to
lynch Wilkerson. Had he succeeded in
killing anybody they would undoubtedly
have made short work of him. Wilker-
son is of an excellent family and his wife
is a most estimable lady.

Germany is rapidly becoming consti-
tutional government in fact as well as
name. The emperor has been made
aware of the fact that the reichstag will
not permit him to draw upon his people
in the way of taxes to build navy equal
in dignity and power to that of his regu-
lar army. They have concluded that one
fad, n large standing army, is enough
to indulge an emperor with, but the best
sign of it is that the representatives of
the people are not afraid to exercise their
constitutional rights. The emperor will
soon find out that Germany was not made
solely for him. but that he was made to
execute laws enacted by legislative
body, and that his kingly authority is
limited by constitutional cnactmcnts.

some other mans brain, who had been the
father Of great thoughts, had been exhib'
tied to Tom Paine when he was alive il
might have impressed him with the same
great truth that the exhibition of parti
Gle of hjg brain that impresses the behold
er with an idea of the Immortality of the

II was perishable, or rather its vital
ity was perishable, but the mind which

That would seem to be the impression OF
one acquainted with the intellectual ef
forts of Tom Paine when looking at q
dead and dried particle of his brain
Knowing these things, one could not re-
sist the impulse, even without the aid OF
revelation, Of being impressed with the
thought that this piece Of dull, dead flesh
could have never thought and that it only
arrived in its life and at the dignity OF
conveying thoughts through the spirit

friend, and declared he knew him well
that he was fellow of infinite humor
was of infinite humor, but that its own
er, the mind and soul that spoke through
its tongue and looked through its eyes,
was fellow of "infnte humor."
A dead particle of brain brings more
fully to our understanding that, its own
er's ego was in the spiritual existence
and not in n thing so perishable as that;
especially if it is known that the particle
of brain was the property at one time
Of some great soul. The seeing and
handling Of such a particle of brain
forces upon us the contrast between that
inanimate thing and the soul or mind.
We cannot but think how mean, con-
temptible and insignificant is this dried
dead matter compared to the mind that
used it, and the thought presses upon us
that there was higher, grander and
more perfect existence in the individual
than the perishable part we see and
handle, not per SCI superior to the
brain of an idiot or that of n brute. Per-
haps in fineness of texture it is superior
to that of the owners horse or dog, for
it was made for the performance of SUI
periOr functions, but it is nothing nor
ever was anything but the same kind of
flesh common to the brutes of the field.
1t is flesh, and flesh never had a thought,
flesh never conceived an idea and there
must have been something in the man
superior to his flesh that dies, decom-
poses and is food for the worms; some
thing that could think, something that
had glorious conceptions, something that
could reason, something that could faith
ON the deepest mystery and know God.
That something was not flesh and
blood, that something was not the phys
ical body. Oh, no; it was greater, SUI
perior to even that splendid piece of
mechanism, the human body. 1t was
the man himself, the true ''ego," the i'm
perishable individuality, the mind and
sould that was and is, the man, imper-
ishable and eternal as God Himself.

DOG BROUGHT THE PARDON.

1t was dog that brought liberty to Il
convict in the Kentucky penitentiary re-
Gently says the Cincinnati Enquirer The
intelligent brute acted as messenger be-
tween Governor Brown and the felon,
carrying the pardon in its mouth from
the executive mansion TO the prison and,
after gaining admittance, to the recipient
of clemency himself. The dog Is the
property of the governor and the con-
Wet is o. G. Garden of Louisville, who
was sentenced two years ago to serve
Il term of eight years for manSlaughter.
For some time Garden has been EN-
ployed as II ''trusty" ut the executive
mansion. doing chores and running err
rands. The dog, fine looking specimen
of the shepherd breed, is family pet
and is unusually intelligent.
1t was part of Gardens duty to
look after the animal and they became
fast friends. When the prison doors
were opened III the morning the collie
was there to meet his convict friend and
accompany him to the mansion. At
night he returned and with his striped
playmate to the grim portals.
When pardon was made out it was sug-
gested that the dog be permitted to carry
the welcome freedom to his devoted
friend. The paper was enclosed in n
stout envelope and given to the animal,
which was told to go to the pcnitentiary.
With wag of its tail it left the mansion
and ran down the old accustomed route
to the prison. A telephone message APP
prised the guards of his coming and he
was admitted without delay.
Garden was in the yard patiently
awaiting the arrival of the governors
messenger, never dreaming that the dog
had been selected. Catching sight of the
well known face. the dog ran up to the
corTict and laid the envelope at his feet.
The glad cry of happy surprise that
the overjoyed prisoner gave vent to on
catching up the official envelope and
tearing it open was re-echoed by sue
cession of joyous banks from the four
footed harbinger of good tidings."

OUR ENLARGED WEEKLY AND
THE OFFER WE MAKE.

Our readers will notice this week II
new departure in the way of the enlarged
size of our Weekly. This will be con
tinued through the future, and each week
The Weekly Statesman will come to you
in twelve page size. This will enable us
TO publish in the Weekly every line OF
important congressional and foreign mat
fer that comes over the Associated Press
wires during the whole week to our Daily.
Not only do we guarantee to publish all
of this news. now 10 important anna
the strained relations of our country
with England and possibly soon with
Spain because of Cuba, and also because
of the strained relations of so many OF
the European nations with each other;
not only will we weekly publish all OF
this news, but also all the news OF gen
oral inheritance outside and inside of
Texas. In addition to this we will pub
lish the fullest reports of the con-
duet of the States business in the
various departments here mt Aus
tin of any paper in the State we
intend to make this feature of special
interest to all our readers, as we feel
they are all peculiarly alive to knowing
lust how their business is being conduct
cd at the capital Editorial and political
opinions will be made an entirely second
ary matter in all our Weekly editions.
We purpose publishing essentially news
Weekly, full of news from beginning to
end. This week is but fair sample,
when we send out Weekly with over
sixty-fve columns of the cream of the
news of the world and some of the most
carefully selected items of general inter
est.
There will be no increased price for
this vastly improved Weekly, but on the
contrary we propose another change for
the benefit of the readers of our Weekly.
Our Sunday daily, that ranges from
twelve to twenty pages, has for ten years
been sold for 50 year. All Weekly
subscribers who have paid in advance
can get the Sunday daily by sending
into the office the proportionate part of
n dollar the balance of their year calls
for on the Weekly. To all new subscrib-
crs of the Weekly we will send the Sun
day daily also for the sum of 81 Il year
covering both. This clubbing the Sun
day daily and the Weekly will, we think,
be more acceptable than any arrange
ment for n strictly semi-weekly, rs the
Sunday daily will reach subscribers at II
better time and will also be larger edi-
ton than the Weekly. With our Weekly
list steadily increasing in the past we
expect under this change, so manifestly
to the interest of our patrons, to reach
many more of you in the future than
ever before. We guarantee to do our
full part to make both editions entirely
interesting and satisfactory to all our
readers.

A Mothers Thanks.

ndelphia, Pa:
Dear Sir-For several months | have
been intending to write you in regard
to your Heiskell's Soap. l use it ex-
clusively for my baby, and have done so
ever since she was so terribly affected
with eczema. We owe the cure of the
latter to Heiskelrs Ointment, and by it
came TO use the soap for washing the
affected parts, and afterwards for the
whole body, and since then | have used
nothing else. My baby now has beau
tiful skin, while at the time of our first
trying your Ointment and Soap her face
was mass of running sores.
Hoping that other mothers may find
the same relief for their little ones in us
ing these articles that | have for my
baby. and thanking you most sincerely
| am very truly yours,
