Did you ever bait for "minners" and catch ten pound cat? That is what Billy Sparks, our efficient constable did the other night "Jist happened that way" He was proving around the suburbs looking for a stolen sew ing machine when two Mexicans came along leading mellow complected bay branded with pot hook. A gen tleman was with him to show him something, since Billy is from the good old state where persimmons and sweet spuds grow. Billy halted the Mexi- cans and put them through the cate chism when his friend came up and recognized the animal as his property. A minute more and they would have been over the line and no longer Ca baIliIeros sin caballos."

MERCURY WORSE THAN THE DISEASE

The effects of Mercury and Potash are worse than the effects of Contagious Blood Poison, for which these minerals are generally used. They cannot cure the disease, and in addition set up pois- on of their own, producing dyspepsia, by drying up the gastric juices, salvation, sores, nercurial rheumatism, and often necrosis of the bones.

Yancey died in July, 1S63 at the age of 4S. He was yet a young man. and 1t was a mystery of Providence that none of us can understand that stephen A. Douglas was cut off in 1861 and that Yancey survived him only two years. Had these two lived to be three-score and ten years. their influence might have made momentous changes in our history-one the first debater and the other the first orator of his time.

William Lowndes Yancey
By savoyard i'm Wa shinstOn Post.

At his christening were multitudes of good fairies. One gave him splen- did person, one a glorious voice, one a commanding intellect. one a lofty char acter, one a superb courage-mental, moral, physical; one an eloquence sur passing the eloQuence of all his fet- lows-these and other graces and ac- complishments were conferred upon William Lowndes Yancey. unfortu- nately there were two hags in the company, vicious and malignant--one denied him wisdom; the other denied him imagination.
 He was the author of secussion, but secession would have come. sooner or later, had Yancey never been born. He fired the Southern heart, but some time or other another would have put the torch to that finder had there been no Yancey He staked his life for a punc- tillio, and he staked the South for a principle He was a fanatic-haughty, arrogant, majestic-and would have serenely gone to the stake for his cause and joyfully yielded his life for his country. Judged by what he accom- plished, the history he made, the con- Vulsion he occasioned, the storm he con- jured, the war he enkindled-judged by these, their magnitude and their mo- mentous consequences, William L. Yancey was the foremost orator of his generation and the equal of any orator of any generation. What his heart forged that his tongue uttered. and he was as honest a fanatic as ever preach ed a crusade. And strange as the statement appears, incredible as 1t is to the entirely misinformed. or to that even more hopeless set. the feebly in- formed, William L. Yancey was Union man to the marrow of his bones and until the election of a sectional Presi- dent he never uttered one word nor did one thing that was not with view to securing "a more perfect Union" =s~:

statesmanlike. He is comparable to no predecessor. because no one ever unit ed so many qualities of the orator. He stands alone, and has attained a name and an elevation which is glorious and unapproachable."
 Clingmann was a peppery man, game as a fighting cock. and as a result of the debate he and Yancey had hos tile meeting and exchanged shots after the usual correspondence. Clingmann fired first, and when Yancey returned the fire the Constables had arrived on the field, and were within a few feet of him to make arrest.

Always Chewed the Rag.

my grandfather had one curious
habit" says Virginia woman in the
Washington Post. HE chewed the
rag constantly. l don't mean it in a
figurative sense, either. I mean it lit
orally. When he was about SO the doc
tors persuaded him to give up the use
Of tobacco, and he used a rag instead.
Grandmother used to cut WORKOUT ia
blecloths into little squares and lay
them in a drawer ready for grand
father. When he was going out any
where, she tucked several into his
waistcoat pocket. He chewed from
daylight till dark. Once grandfather
and I went to the funeral of a great
man here in town. Grandmother was
ill that day, AMI forgot to tell me about
the rags. We sat well up toward the
front, and gr:rndfather was no sooner
seated than la put two fingers into his
waistcoat pockets. No rag. He search
ed through all his pockets, one after
the other. No rag anywhere He be-
gan to wriggle about in his seat uneasi-
ly. He was in misery with nothing to
work his jaws on. The service went
on and when the choir rose to sing, I
saw one of grandfather's hands disap-
pear under his waistcoat. His eyes
were fixed on the choir and he looked
determined. There was a fortissimo
burst of music-and then in the in
slant Of absolute stiffness which fol-
lowed, everybody heard something
tear. Grandfather turned vivid pur-
pie. but when he raised his head after
the prayer little later, his jaws were
