The Modern Hotel Clerk.

A good hotel clerk must know every
thing. He must be able to read The
innermost thoughts of every guest
that comes to his house. He must be
ready to answer every question that
is asked, whether concerning railroad
trains, pedestrianism, politics, law
science. geography, astronomy, theol-
ogy, Houston, Texas, has one of the
brightest hotel clerks in the world
He Is always anable, ready with any
kind of information whatever, and
never has to be asked twice for any
thing
Two drummers were sitting In the
lobby of this hotel few nights ago
and one of them was telling the Other
about the clerks readiness, and said:
"I'll bet you the drinks that If YOU
open that newspaper that you have IL
your hand, select the first phrase that
meets your eye, and then walk over
to the clerk and say it over to him, he
Will respond in some way without 6
moments hesitation.
The drummer opened the paper BY
chance at political article, and thl
first words he saw were, "The great,
est good to the greatest number" HI
walked over to the clerks desk
leaned his elbow on it, and said. ser
iously, "The greatest good to th(
greatest number"
The clerk smiled pleasantly, tapped
bell, and said to tic bellboy, TAX,

The First Christmas Gift,
Make Your Gift Pure One, and Give It with
Love.

Make Your Gift Pure One, and Give II with
Love.
"If you had the wealth of the world
you could not equal that first Christ
mas gift,' writes Ruth Ashmore in an
article on "Girs and Their Christmas
Giving" in the December Ladies'
Home ./0HtWdL "And you can only
initiate it by making your gift a pure
one, and giving it with love. You
want to share, this Christmastide,
your faith, your hope and your charity
with those you love. You mant to
make your very 'goodmorning' tell of
that good morning that came SO many
hundred years ago when the little
Child first wakened on this earth.
You want to think of the gifts that
were brought to Him and what they
typihed. You want to have your
heart full of joy, and love, and hope
so full that 1t will brim over and
the rest ofthe world share it with you.
You want to tell, in your speech and
in your eyes, and from your heart, of
the gladness of the time. You want
to make this gladness go out to some
one. who is in grief These are the
days when you must needs give of
your good things, and among all your
possessions there is nothing so good
as belief in God and hope for the
future. That was what the little Child
came to tell about Surely the Christ
mastlde is the feast of all others that
appeals to women, and as the story is
told again and again by the bells as
they ring, by the carols as they are
sung, by the preacher from the pulpit,
we know that unto us Child is
born, and peace and good will reign
all over the land. Let peace and
good will be in your heart, and from
you they will go and spread all over
the land. 1t is to the women, thank
God, that the happiness of the Christ
mastide specially comes And women
are generous, else one of them never
would have given her Sol to die that
all might live. She gave to all the
world her only Son-the gilt that
meant eternal life"

LOVES DOUBT.

She hated song, and light, and flowers,
Life was a burden to be borne;
"A heavy rosary Of hours
Told listlessly from morn to MORN
The long hours leading to the light
The day-dawn longed for like a friend
Day slowly wearing to the night!
The dreary night that would not end!
And at the opening of the door
Her weary eyeids rose and fell,
And silence pleased her more and more.
And darkness soothed her like a spell
And when he spoke, she could not speak
But turned her face for him to see
The little hollows in her cheek
That love had dug there, needlessly.

THE A OF C

Instead OF Spain having c~arnivals
OF rejoicing over the death of the
Cuban head of the Insurgents, the
whole Spanish nation ought to feel
Inundated over the treacherous and
cowardly name in which his death
was accomplished.
His assassination will aver be a
blot on the escutcheon Of Spain and
it will live in the memories OF men as
as a National disgrace. The man
whom the butcher Wyler could not
defeat 10 battle, was lured across the
trocha under pretense Of opening ne
gotiations Of peace, and Msceo and
staff after being drawn into the
ambush, we're shot down like dogs.
Nothing in the annuls of modern war
fare equals this atrocity except the
sociates in the Modoc Lava beds by
Shagnasty Jim and his gang. The
part which DR.. Zertucha played in
the affair was the acme Of treachery.
he was Maceo's physician. friend and
advisor, and the miserable wretch who
betrayed his general is @ in Ra-
vana. receiving the congratulations
OF the Spanish people.
The death Of Maceo will be but a
temporary setback to the Cuban
cause. The name of his extinction
will excite his followers to fresh valor,
and his death will be avenged by the
burning and sacking Of Havana.

HOW COLO WAS DEPOSITED.

An excellent hint to that unscrupu-
lous class, the 'salters" Of mines,
whose field is happily becoming more
limited in the light Of better and more
Intelligent investigation of mining
properties. came to light in an exhi-
bition recently. before the Imperial
Institute at Edinburgh, Scotland.
The exhibit arose over the much-dis-
cussed question as to how gold was
originally deposited in quartz, and
Mr. j. c. F. Johnson of Port Adelaide,
Australia, who has given much at
tention to the subject, showed some
specimens Of non auriferous rock
into which he had introduced gold ar
officially, and in such a manner that
the experts present were unable to de-
t.ect the hapdiwork. Mr.. Johnson has
Tor years been experimenting with the
various salts Of gold, and the result
is some remarkable specimens of
manufactured auriferous quartz
which, when broken. show the gold
through every lamination Of the rock.
This discovery Of how gold Mas de-
posted may prove of value in sug-
costing an economical method for its
extraction, but the agents Of the to-
vestors should be guarded that the
work of nature is not copied by those
who have gold mines to sell and are
not above Sailing" them.

johnson Guilty Without Capital
Punishment.

James Johnson, indicted for the
murder of a Jewish peddler named
Isaac Tucker, i'll Calcasieu parish
several months ago, was tried at
Lake Charles and found guilty of
murder without capital punish
ment AS the murder Of this mot
fensive peddler was deliberate, I'M
provoked, cold blooded and for
purposes of robbery, we are una,
bic to perceive any motive, not
even one of humanity, which could
have controlled the jury III the
rendition of a qualified verdict.
But there is no accounting for the
verdicts of jurles. 1t was an afro.
tious crime and the perpetratOr
should have paid the penalty with
the forfeit of his life.
= He will be sentenced to the
penitentiary for life, but if he has
any friends Of position aud infu.
ence, who will interest themselves
in his behalf, it will not be many
years before an executive pardon
will open the doors and restore
him to liberty and citizenship.
Aaron johnson and Valentine
Buxton were also indicted for the
murder of the peddler. The latter
has been tried, but the jury being
unable to agree, a mistrial was ell
tered. Aaron Johnston is yet tC

Death of George Sheridan.

General George Sheridan died
at the National Soldiers Home, III
Hampton, Va, last week. The de-
ceased played an important and
conspicuous part in the history OF
this State during the Republican
reqime and will be remembered by
the generation upon the stage of
life at that time, as one of the most
magnetic orators the country had
ever produced, who could capti-
vate and enchain his audiences
by the power of his eloquence, no
matter whether they were 10 SYM
patty with his sentiments or not.
The writer heard him during the
campaign when the lamented
Johu McEnery was canvasslng the
State for Governor against VIM.
Pitt Kellogg. His power 10 sway
an audience was little less than
that of S. S. Prentiss. His simil-
itude, in which he was accustomed
to liken the rise and gradual in
crease of the Liberal movement to
the Mississippi river, commencing
with very small and attenuated
stream at Lake Itasca, but increas-
ing in majestic proportions as ii
wendell its way to the Gulf, was
the most beautiful, touching and
pathetic that we had ever heard
from the lips Of any orator.
During his iucumbency of the
gubernatorial office, Governor
Warmoth appointed him Tax Col
lector of one of the New Orlean.
Districts, which paid from $4,000
to 100000 per annum. He als'
derived largerevenues from his lee
turing tours. But despite his i'm
mense income, brilliant genius ant
versatile talents, he finally died ;

Some time ago, the United States
Government dispatched the Ban
croft 10 Turkish waters, so as to
be in close proximity and be able
to afford assistance and protection
to the United States legation, in

1t appears, however, that the
Turkish authorities have refused

ground that our government was

to render Instant aud effective as.
