"Hangings?" said tlie man from Tex as, "talk it limit dungings there's no country In the world can beat tbe bor der of the Ulo (irunde for neck pullln'. Capital punishment out there Is as common as pig tracks. They look ni a hanging out there like every other bublt of life, nut It don't make uu more excitement tliiin a man getting drunk does In Alluntti. The people no 'long ami mind their business and wouldn't Ktcp out of their path to see a limn swung up. The II rut year 1 wan out there the population decreased ho rapidly ou account of hungln's that half the farms were left uncultivated, The first day I got there a Utile rope party huh on deck. I made up my mind to se it, us I always bud a curi osity nlmut such things, and I saddled my mule and rode over to a little set tlement where they said the feller would he swung up. It was the quiet est place I ever saw. I expected to see the people cumin' in from miles about, hut the place looked dead us a door null, and I was makln' up my mind that the thing was off an' turned to ride away, when I seed a feller with a slouch lint on ii'ii' a big key In his hand cumin' down the road. I nsked him 'bout the hnngln', and when It wus goln' to be. " 'Soon ns I en a git to the Jallhouse,' sez lie. " 'Can I witness It?' sez I. " 'In course yer can.' sea be, peerln' t me curious like. "'An' 1 won't have to git no special permit from the court?' sea I. " 'Court be duriied. I'm the ruler of this much. Can't you tell a sheriff when you meets one In ther road? "It was all right then, so I jes' tied my mule tin followed long behind. We went by one or two houses au' the people looked at me kinder pitiful like, an' I beurd one feller say I bud a loug neck for a noose. They thought the sheriff was goln' to swing me up. "That Jull was the funniest pluee ever seed. It didn't have but two rooms an' they didn't have no win dows. The gallows was out to one side In a grove of live oaks. I went out there an' took my seut 'gulust one of those trees. It wus as still ns death. There wuru't nobody to be seeu no where. The wind blowed kinder mourn ful 'bout the gallows an' flopped the rope ug'lnst the sides. 'I stayed there about ten minutes tin' was 'bout to give up the game when the door opened n' tlie sheriff comes out leadln' a pale, lean lookln' individual with a big rope tied about bis hauds.

' Cot anything to say?' sez the sher iff. "The prisoner shook his head. " 'Want to make any confession? tho sheriff said aglu. "But the prisoner didn't say any thing an' jes' shook his head. " 'Want to say yer prayers? said the sheriff again. "The man kept on shnkln' bis bead. "Then the sheriff tole the deputy to come up, an' they tied a towel about the man's eyes. " 'Commend your soul,' said the sher iff. 'Let her go, Bill!' "The trigger was knocked out, but, by holy thunder,-when the man shot down his feet touched the ground an' he stood there kinder tlptoe-Hke, jump In' uu' jerklu'. I utmost fainted, but tbut sheriff stood there an' didu't move. " 'Bill,' sez he, bltin' off a chew of tobacker, 'go up to the houso an' git a shovel.' "I didu't wait to hear no more.

An KiHCtlns Kmnloynient In Which the Kcwnnls) Are Hniull. It Is the fashion o call Jotii-uiillsm a profession, but it Is subject to none of the conditions which would entitle It to the name, says the lAiriim. There are no recognised rules of conduct for Its members and no tribunal to en force them, If there were. The most despicable of men may without chal lenge call themselves "Journalists." no less than the most worthy. 'There Is no more exacting anil exhausting work than that which constitutes the dally routine of a uewspaper otIU-e. It grinds the youth of a man tvlih great rapidity, and In stealing bis physical elasticity robs him also of certain liner Impulses that are harder to recover. And yet It bus a charm of Its own to which the most wearied of Its bomlsmeu never becomo quite Insensible.

But as the years roll by he beelns to discern the difference between an established repu tatlon and one tbnt has to be made fresh every day. Work, untiring and ceaseless, Is the badge of all profes' long, but the work or a newspaper man at 45 Is not necessarily better pnld work tbnn that of the same man at a Twenty years of what Is called suc cessful devotion to his culling has prob ably brought blm to a sense of security In his ability to earn a living, and s consequent Indifference to the Ince sunt changes of the little world which bounds his sphere of activity, but be yond that sense of personal Independ ence he has gained but little.

Congressman Powers Enthusiastic Over Paine's Celery Com pound, the Greatest Spring Remedy. "The Cry Is Still, 'They Come' " One of tbe huruiless lusects known as a "black beetle," Is more correctly called the cockroach. But though a common enough object In northern lunds, tropical countries seem to be blessed with its presence In vast num bers, antl North Queensland appears to be a veritable paradise of cock roaches. In the coast towns the delightful-creatures come out of their dens at dusk and swarm over floor, wall, and celling, until there Is neither standing uor sitting room, and thou sands upon thousands ore compelled to spend tbe hours of darkness in tbe gardens and yards. Soiitb Is Going to School. According to Prof. Alexander Hogg, Htate Atanager of rublic Schools In Texns, while the South has gained 54 per cent. In population In the last twen ty years, the Increase in tbe enrollment of its school attendance has been 130 per cent. In tbe same period the vnlue of the school property has Increased from $10,000,000 to $51,000,000, an ad dition of nearly $2,000,000 per year. Of all the people In the South, white and black, one In five is In attendance at school during some part of the year. This Is the proportion In Saxony, which excels all countries In Europe. It Is es timated that of the $320,000,000 expend ed for education In the South in the Inst eighteen years one-fourth has been for tbe colored race. . A Cat and Dog Idle. That cats and dogs sometimes agree very well will be clear from this little anecdote. Puss and the dog had found out a clever plan for stealing food, and they carried It on bo successfully that the mysterious disappearance of the victuals bad to be seriously Inquired Into. Then the whole plot was dis covered. Tho cat gave the dog the signal by mewing when the "const was clear." Then the pair suenked off to the larder. Here the cat climbed on to the shelf and flung the good things down to the dog. In the case of cov ered dishes, puss kept the lid open with one foot, while with the other It pawed out the tit-bits for tbe dog and herself. Judge Powers, who today representi Vermont in congress, entered the na tional house with a magnificent reoord aa lawyer and judge of the supreme oonrt of Vermont He ii a fine type of the careful, learned, New England lawyer. Though bat 66 yean of age, he wai a member of the Vermont legislature a third of a century ago, and again in 1874, when he wai speaker of the house. Be has been state censor, a member of tbe ooatitntional convention and of the state senate. In 1874 he became judge of the supreme oonrt of Vermont, and reamined on the benoh nntil 1890, when be took hii seat in congress. Judge Powera presided at many of the moat notable trials in the history of tbe state, and is the anthor oi many oi tne most important opinions to be found in Vermont reports. No judge on the supreme bench in any of our states has a reputation for more olearly and unimstakably expres sing his opinions. Bis unqualified in dorsement of Paine's celery oomponnd in the following letter is as straightfor ward and oonoise as any one of his thoughtful charges to a jury: Honse of Representatives, U. 8. I Washington, D. 0., Feb. 19, 1866.1 I have for several years been acquainted with the medloinal qualities of Paine's eelery compound, and can enthusiastically indorse as a spec! Ho in many oasrs or which its use is recommended by its pro prietors. . H. Hinby Powkrs, lit Dist. Vt. By far the best nse that any tired or ailing person oan make of these preoi ons spring days is to purify the blood and regulate their nerves with Paine's oelery oomponnd. It is plain to any observant person that the best remedy for neuralgia, persistent headaches and suoh like indications of low nerv ous vigor, is the one that most rapidly and completely nourishes tbe worn out parts. It is not in tbe power of any other remedy to do tho vigorous work of Paine's celery compound in strengthen ing the jaded system, and in bringing it back to an energetio, healthy condi tion. The real danger that stares siok poo. pie in the faoe is the putting off at tending to sickness and diseas, and letting slip these health-inviting spring days, when everything so strong ly favors getting well. This greatest of all spring remedies is doing an as tonishing amount of good these days among siok people and those semi-Invalids who are "run down" by the long, trying winter, or worn out and afflicted by disease. The soul and life of sound health is a well-nourished nervous system. Paine's oelery 'oomponnd repairs the worn, nervous system as nothing else oan do. It is the one oertain and per manent cure for sleeplessness, hysteria, nervons debility and exhaustion, rheu matism, neuralgia and tbe various manifestations of an unhealthy bodily oondition, such as languor, nervous ness, heart palpitation, loss of flesh and mentsl depression. With Paines' oelery compound, ret turning strength and cheerfulness soon show that one is undoubtedly on the right road to health. Paine's oelery compound is the one real spring remedy known today that never fails to benefit. Get Paine's celery compound, and only Paines' oelery oomponnd if you wish to be well.

Rats are said to be very fond gnawing at elepliauts' tusks when tltey have the chance, which does not often happen nowadays. It takes a sharp tooth to tackle a tusk of this kind. Tliey do not seem to care for the tusks of the Indian elephant, which are, for the rats' purpose, lacking In gelatine, or animal glue; but they nibble at the purest part of the tusKs of tbe African elephant. Tbe ivory turner hnd abso lute confidence in the taste of the rat, and always selected the Ivory that bore signs of having been gnawed when he wanted a piece for especially fine work.
