What Texas Might Do.
Galveston News,

TO be plain about it if all thu
cotton raised in Texas were made
into one shirt, the garment would
tit a man 5000 miles tall. The
Texas crop of 100000 pounds
OF wool would make him a pail
of socks. The leather product
OF the State would make him 8
pair of shoes, the soles of which
would nearly cover pair of States
as large as Massachusetts. The
100000 head of beeves and 1876.
100000 bushels of corn would feed
bread and meat for six months
and if all the horses in Texas were
one he could ride a horse big en-
ough to nibble grass on the
Blue Ridge and fan the flies off
his launches, which would loom
up some where in in the neighbor-
hood of the Mississippi river. The
hairs of the animals tail would
be as large in diameter as tele-
graph poles and as long as the
Hudson river, and it would take
the bite of a horsefly fourteen
times the size of an elephant to
make him snort.

Tom Watson has this to say in
the last issue of the Peoples Party
Paper: eff there was no need. Of
a new party to combat both the
old parties, then the Peoples party
ought never to have been born. If
there is no need now of a third
party to combat both the old par
ties, the Peoples party has no
right to live. If either one of the
old parties is right, we should Join
1T. There should be no fusion
about the matter; we ought to
JOIN the party which is right, and
we should join without money and
without price, without conditions
and without reservations.
IF neither Of the old parties is
right, then we ought not to ioin
hands with it, by fusion or other
wise. We ought to glory in being
rlght-no matter how great mi
nority we are in. In ever so MANY
instances the minority, the de-
spised and prosecuted minority.
we're the men whose principles

Why, MIR. Greene?
Statesville Landmark

Mr.. H. L Greene, of Wilkesboro
who attended the Federal Court il
Asheville last week, made a speech
before the Democratic club of thai
town while there, and the Gazette
thus reports him:
HE warned his hearers to be.
ware OF alliances with Populists
and denounced Marion Butler as 0
trlckster and traitor, but one who
would exert a considerable infu.
ence in the next election, He ex.
horted his hearers to stand up fol
principle; that the Democrats
have lost when they sought expe.
diency simply; courage and priin-
clple will win votes. Wishv-
'washy politicians who try to car
ry water on both shoulders can't
fool the people of North Carolina
but once"
That's the stuff Glory to Mr..
Greene! But he had better be
careful. That sort of doctrine
wasn't popular in North Carolina
last year.

The Boston Transcript tells a
story of little boy on a visit.
He had not been taught to say his
prayers, and when he saw the lit
tie boys of the house say theirs
he had sense of not being in it,
at all and he went to bed melan-
choly. The second night came
and he heard the children once
more go through what was to him
their remarkable rigamarole, end
ing in "Amen," and when thew
were done he said: "Auntie I want
to say my prayer too" Every
we'll 60 on" she answered. The
boy went down prettily on his
knees, and ratified off: "First in
war, first in peace, and first in the
hearts of his conutryMENl"
Then he rose proudly concious of
having done the right thing.

Eagles Carry Off "a Baby,


Mr., Barnett, of: the. NnEthaFn
Pacific Railroad GoHa4.sany, aells
in the Omaha Bee an asfeEessing
story Of how he came by two, big
eagles. He was onthe uppeE Zoo
tenai river, in the northwestern
part of the State, having charge
of party examining:aslarge tract
of land on the river Near where
the party WERE at. work was. a
camp of Indians. The lodges
were scattered about promiscuous-
ly in Indian fashion near the riv-
er's edge. There was~lsttle, activ-
ity about the camp. The bucks
re.for theemsst part out hunt
ing and the women kept inside
the lodges, it being a particularly
warm day. AT the edge of the
camp was group Of dirty naked
little Indian children, romping on
the grass together.
All of a sudden the quiet of the
camp was broken by the sudden
introduction of two great eagles,
which swooped down upon the
group of children.
Apparently not frightened in
the least by their cries, oneaefl the
eagles fastened its talons into the
back of the smallest child, and
then, after mighty, sweeping of
wings, lifted it into the air.
! The frightened little papoose
yelled with all its might, but the
eagle dragged it up the bluff forty
or fifty feet and then dropped it
apparently becoming exhausted.
Then the other eagle grabbed the
boy and started with him up the
bank, which at that place arose
almost perpindicularly 400 or 500
feet.
All that happened in moment!
The camp which had been so quiet
before, was Immediately turned
into place of confusion.
The squaws hearing the cries
of the children came running out
of the lodges. When they saw
what was the matter they rushed
up the bluff as hard as they could
go. But even then the eagles did
not want to give up their prey.
They were frightened by the noise
and kept dragging the poor Indian
boy further and further up the
bluff.
Mr.. Barnett attracted by the
cries, took in the situation with a
glance and ran for the bluff with
his rifle which he happened to have
with him. Before he reached the
child an Indian buck had come up
with the eagle having the boy in
his talons and killed it with a
club.
Mr. Barnett had been afraid to
shoot for fear of hitting the child,
The mark being a moving one. He
shot the other eagle, however, just
Is 1t commenced to soar away.
Strange to say the little boy
vas not seriously injured, although
le was nearly frightened to |
feath.
