There is promise of a lively fight IN the
Texas guberna toriaI campaign this year.
Edward, the son Of Mrs Hetty Green.
the richest woman in America, wants TO
be Governor. He is a Republican. Texas
is Democratic state. The story goes
that Mrs. Green will spend big pile of
her money for the qualification of her
sons ambition. The son is credited with
believing that by a liberal use of money
he can secure enough Populist votes, COM
bned with the Republican, to give him
the position. The present Governor,
young Mr.. Culberson, is in the field for
the senatorship, and the Democrats will
put up Congressman Savers for Governor.

Smoke and Lightning
le New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 In certain parts of Australia it is the custom of the natives to keep huge brush piles ready to ignite in case of thunder storm. Columns of smoke, they believe, >will ward off thunder bolts Many travel CTS have regarded this as a mere supersti- ton, as the burning of the piles is accom- panied with barbaric ceremonies. The travellers may be mistaken, for certain scientists look upon smoke as a most ex- cellent paratonnerre; they say it attracts and disperses the electric currents. If one stops to think, 1t will be recalled that while we certainly hear of churches, flag poles, stagings and other high structures being struck by lightning, we seldom hear of the heavy smoke producing foundries or mills or factories with tall chimneys being struck. Nevertheless. the tall chimneys all have lightning rods which are not as use- full perhaps as they seem. If the custom of the Australians be founded in a prac- tical knowledge of the power of smoke to disperse the electric fluid, they may have a higher civilized past than we moderns have any idea of.

ing viciously around, knocked Hallett from his seat. The diver had in his hand a small, sharp saw, and, fearing that the shark would make short work of him, he seized one of its fins and plunged his saw deep into its body. Then terrible strug- gle began. In the confined space the shark could not get at the diver without shak- ing off the hold that the latter had got, and the latter. seeing that his only hope was to retain his hold, clung on desperate ly, all the time driving his saw time after time into the body of the maddened sea tiger. Hallett had contrived to make signal, and just as his senses were leav- ing him he felt himself rising When the bell was dragged out of the water man and shark rolled out in a blood stained heap, but the man had conquered. When he came to his senses he found that a torn and wounded hand was all the injury he had received in the awful encounter, but the shark was dead'

Blanco and die.
 An insurgent spy succeeded Tn escaping out of Havana on last Monday and was picked up by the Bancroft He tells a tale of woe concerning the situation in that city. Provisions are becoming scareer every day. This man himself caught a large shark outside of Havana short time ago and had no difficulty in selling it for s15 to serve as food. Sharks meat is even considered quite delicacy in the famine-stricken city, and horses and dogs are becoming very scarce.
 It is meat and drink to us to hear these tales. The policy of our government is to starve out Havana. It may be humane, but the waiting is trying on us.
 GETTING THE MAIL.
 The very welcome mail and a batch of newspapers comes once in a while. It is brought by the Nashville. the Bancroft or whatever ship happens to be coming our way. The letters are in a leather pouch which is opened by our authorized distrib- utor. He assorts the letters and hands them over while we grab and read One lucky man got ten letters when the Ham, ilton came In and he was so happy he cried. He is reading those letters yet. His mother and sisters and lot of friends all happen ed to write him at once. One fellow got a picture of his girl. He cut out the head and occupied nearly all day framing it in canvas for the inside of his cap. If you know anybody on the blockading squadron write to them for Gods sake. Make your letters long and write often.
 PASSING THE TIME.
 Though we are not fighting we get through the day very we'll We do what the land lubbers call military maneuvers'' and we practice target shooting.
 When the wreck of the Alfonso XII lay funny thing happened. Captain Leary ar rived with the San Francisco ;and the blue jackets aboard eagerly begged permission to try few shots at the hulk They said Rico or San Juan nor of Manila. Could they shoot this empty target? Commo- bore Howell, in whose charge the blockad- ing squadron was entrusted is a kindheart-f ed man and consent was given In a twink ling the six-inch battery on board the flag ship was cast loose, and the gun captains soon demonstrated that their thorough training at sub-calibre practice had borne. good results. Every shot took effect and exploded in the hull, and the work of de- struction was soon complete. It is the best recreation asked by an American sailor, permission to practice target shooting.

operation which the Spanish are not at- tempting very much just these days.
 Up to this time they have been running the blockade pretty well through the Isle of Pines. Vessels could easily get here from Jamaica and Mexican ports; and the supply though small was steady enough to supply provisions to the wealthier families of Havana, those that could afford to buy them. Since the surrender of Santiago this has been stopped.
 BLOCKADE RUNNERS.
 The principal route selected for this con- traband trade was through the Isle of Pines, and thence Havana, via Batabano. This made the Isle of Pines port of en- try for Havana for small vessels from Ja- maican and Mexican ports. It was roundabout way, and entailed great trou- ble and expense, but it kept the people from actual starvation. The system was never established on a large scale, and never had a material effect upon the con- tinuation of the war.
 The recent extensions of the blockade of the south coast of Cuba, however, have entirely broken up this business. At the same time the blockade of the northern coast was made to embrace more ports, to render impossible the establishment of similar source of supply upon that side. It will thus be seen that there Is left but one means of introducing provisions into Ha- vana, and that is the very precarious method of directly forcing an entrance through the fleet off the harbor. This ac- counts for the disastrous attempt on the part of the Alfonso XII.
 With the blockade extended, strength ened and frightened it is only a matter of time when Havana gives up.

 "An American diver once told me a blood curdling story of a fight with a st ark waged by a man named Halett.

In a second or two he rec ognized that it was shark and to his hor- TOT the bell trapped the monster so that man and shark were rubbing against each other in the closest possible proximity.

 struggle that was going on. At length, unable to bear the suspense any longer, he signalled to be drawn up. notwithstanding that he would have to pass through the thick of the fierce monsters. In his pas sage to the surface he brushed close past the sharks, and one of them made a vi- cious grab at him. It missed his arm, but caught his fingers, and his hand was badly mangled.

Like rats in hole, that is the way the people in Havana find themselves, with the hole stopped up and nothing to eat inside the hole.
