ISeeds of the tone (Star State. The growth and development of Texas cannot be exaggerated. Fort Worth eight years ago contained but 800 inhabitants; in 1880, .6,000 and to-day, 16,000, a perfect sys tem of : water-works-, street railroads and ga3. Sewerage is being built, tho streets graded and macadamized ; a tine opera-house is in process of constrnc , tion, and every thing that goes to make up a city, except tho hotels. The Lord have mercy upon the man that has to contribute $3 per day to tho hotels of Fort Worth, especially the El Paso. Fifteen cents would be extravagant. Why some live hotel man has not found this place before is a mystery, as the arrivals during last December were over 9,000 as shown by the hotel registers. This city has a E number of large wholesale houses, one grocery house last year having sold over $1,500,000 worth of goods. If some un foreseen circumstance does not check the growth of Fort Worth, it will soon rank as a city of 25,000 to 50,000 inhab itants. The future city of Texas is Dallas. Containing a population of 10,000 in 1880, without effort apparently upon the part of her citizens, she ha3 grown to be a prosperous city of 25, 000, and is going right ahead. Dallas is doing more than four times the busi- ness of any city of her size in the north. There are great opportunities here for men of energy and capital. . What Texas needs is more corn, less cotton, more . hogs and better cattle. The crops this year in northern Texas mf are good, the acreage of corn is about double , and the yield fair. A great many cattle will .be fed this winter, i The cotton crop is short. The acreage is not more than 33 per cent., and in the southern part of the state the aver age is not over 50 per cent. The los3 in the aggregate to the state on the cotton crop is estimated at $30,000,000. What Texas needs is northern enter prise and knowledge. The latter she is ' fast acquiring, and certainly the former win come n only apprised, ot tne opportunities.- Why should Texas pay exorbitant prices for corn-fed beef ship ped ra refrigerator cars from Kansas City and St. Louis ? Why should she ship her cattle alive to St. Louis, losing 100 pounds on each head and 1 cent in the price, when she can slaughter them at home and ship two car loads in one ? Why should Texas be dependent on the north for bacon and lard when hogs grow and fatten themselves here? Why should Texas be dependent on the north for flour when she should have a surplus of millions of bushels of wheat? These questions will soon be solved, and the men to take the stop in advance will reap a rich reward. The American IliD-l'ocket. The "hip-pocket" in American-made trousers gives a. wrong impression abroad, although its use has become very general in this country. An Eng lishman, who was recently entertaining a company at a table d'hote with his knowledge of American customs and manners, declared that every American "man" carried a pistol, and that it was necessary, as life was so insecure there, An American iaay saici tiiac lie was telling her somethir.g new of a country where she had always lived. He re plied that all American men had hip-pockets made in their trousers purposely to carry firearms. The lady protested ; her husband, three sons and brothers always had hip-pockets made, but to her certain knowledge they never carried fire-arms in them. Nor did she know of any American who was a walking arsenal, and she thought fur ther that life in America seemed just as secure as in Europe. "I am amazed," said he, to hear your apparently sin' cere remarks,, but I cannot agree with you. Several years ago, when I was on the Laramie plains m the states, trav eling for pleasure, some road agents forced our party at the point of a pistol to hold up both hands. They then emp tied our pockets. The lady assured him that very few of our leading men are engaged in the road agent industry, and that few of the others are loaded. il Jl 4 n i 1 Mil Anomer xaise mea is mat oi tne so- called "American duel." I never heard of the misnamed "American duel" until I came to this country, and have been greatly ridiculed therefor. "Why, said a gentleman, is it possible you are an American and have grown up in ignorance of such a famed practice? Instead of shooting at each other the principals draw lots while alone to gether. Whoever gets the fatal num- per must taite ms own liie witmn a year. Neither must tell of it, and the Buicide leaves no explanation of his act." The Kiytns Business Overdone. An agnostic is, therefore, the legiti- mate product of a mendacious age, .Ho has been swindled until he distrusts his grandmother. Bore a hole in the ground with vour cane and set your dog to digging there for game and he win dig tremendously in tne nrst ex periment; on a second he will dig a little but with less zeal and hope ; but when about the third time you call his attention to a possible rat in the cane made hole, he will look at the hole and then at you, and then will lie down on the cool, green grass m philosophic peace. You have made your dog a skeptic. Thus our times have over done the lying business, and there are a few millions of persons who do not repose any confidence in anything or body not well backed up by collaterals. Ornamental Teeth. The teeth, we are told, rarely escape beautifying among the negroes of equatorial Africa; for they file the edges into notches, in some cases, until they resemble the serrations in a saw. The Africans, however, are excelled by the Malays in their artistic treatment of the teeth ; for not only do they stain them black, but the latter file them into fantastic shapes. And in Borneo an elaborate process is adopted ; the front surface of each tooth being drilled in the centre, and a round or stai-shaped knob of brass inserted in the lsoie. These knobs are kept bright by the ac tion of the hp, and are supposed to be highly attractive. Censorship of the Press in i-'ronee. xieiore a newsooy can sen papers in i'ans nis character must unaergo a minute investigation from tho prefect of police. A poster for the paper can not be displayed without being stamped. The government must look at all the tele graphic dispatches before they go into print. Everything is done there to kill a live paper. One result of this is that .in the smaller Parisian papers the world outside of France is generally disposed of in ten or twelve lines. And that's about the size of the planet outside of Paris m the average Parisian s head. Expensive Match Safes Two ladies, one elderly, the other xemm sr. sauntered to a counter in Tif fany's, New York, and asked to see some pocket match safes. "Of any particular kind, or at any special price?" the salesman inquired. ".No. We want to select one from, the prettiest you have," the young lady re plied. The salesman showed several in bronze with raised designs in silver. One of the designs was a cluster of small growing daisies and a bug hover ing over it. The salesman pressed a spring, the top flew open, there was a crack and a flash, and a wax match stood bold upright ignited. The hinge on which the lid worked was perfor ated, and by a , peculiar spring the match immediately beneath the perfora tion was thrust through it and limited by the friction. "How much is this?" the elderly lady asked. "Twenty-five dollars, madam." "Oh, mamma," the young lady said in an undertone, "I don't care to get a match safe so cheap as that for him." .Let me see some other designs, said the elderly lady. bhe was shown some more in copper, with raised letters and monograms in silver, and at about tho same price. The young lady shook her head negatively at these, and also at some beautiful safes of fine tortoise shell with silver clasps. : . "You can have initials of silver or gold on these," the salesman remarked, But none of these was satisfactory, and the salesman brought out another, saying: "These range from $50 to $175." The most expensive one was a safe of gold beaten and lumped so that it looked like rich ore. A diamond sunk in one of the lumps indicated the posi tion of the spring. The cheapest was a beaten silver with a rubv. From the lot the young lady selected one in beaten gold, with burnished gold designs and a small diamond, it cost $izo. A man looking through the entire lot would have undoubtedly selected that in cop per and silver first shown as the most tasteful and practicable. " Josh Bllllnes' Methods. I was traveling recently in New Eng land when I dropped into a seat, one half of which was already occupied by a man whose appearance would attract remark and observation tinder the most ordinary circumstances. He wore a broad-brimmed hat of felt. It was so large that it required a big head to carry it off. But the head was big, the eyes bland and benevolent, though in speaking he contrived to withdraw them under bushy brows, and hold them there twinkling xintil you had laughed at his witticism, when his whole face relaxed and you laughed again at the extraordinary transformation. This was 3r. snav as o osu .tunings, our Yankee Rochefoucauld, who is a con stant oasis and well-spring oi wit in a great American desert of "alleged" humor. "I have written for seventeen years without missing a week for one story paper, he said in the course of a con versation. i am nothing but a para- grapher, and acknowledge wha I can't put in two lines I can't express at all I have, finally, after a quarter of a cen turv, whittled down all philosophy, all wisdom, and all ignorance into the par agraphs of Solomon, in which he ac knowledged himself a plagiarist. 'There is nothing new under the sun. Ihe most a man can do with a thought is to sharpen an end of it so it will go m easier. There is no possible addition that can be made to the world of ideas, And not a shaving is ever lost. Some poor leilow picks it up and goes to whittling and sharpening again. I have to catch my ideas on the run. If I don't they will get away. I put them down in this book, sometimes twenty a day." The book looked like a grocery or a bank book. It answered for the latter for Josh Billings para graphs are worth a dollar apiece. 1 see you have drawn lines over several pages," I said: "are those con demned or useless jokes ?" "No sir. I never correct anything - after it is on paper. Those have been 'run off,' copied off, 1 mean, and sent to the printer." What the Treasury People Fear. What tho treasury people fear in the future is that their paper issued may by duplicated' by the means employed by the photo-lithographers. It is possi ble with the aid of photo-lithography to duplicate every line of the most skillful and intricate engraving. This fact was brought to the attention of the depart ment not long ago. The statutes forbid any imitation of the currency of the country for tho pur poses of advertisement. This is not generally understood. A New York brewer recently devised a business card in the shape of a plate with sev eral bills of different denominations lying upon the plate, being held down by a gold and a silver coin. He had employed regular bills as tho models lor the wort, and the result is absolutely startling. What portions of the bills that show in the careless piling are absolutely periect. lhey were re produced by photo-lithography and then colored exactly like the originals. The plates were all seized, and the brewer notified that he was a violator of the law, although his intent was innocent. This discov ery has set the olhcials to thinking. With the right kind of paper any skillful photo-lithographer could get un millions in a very short time. To guard against the danger and to provide means of detecting such counterieits are as yet unsolved jroblems. . An Karth quake ft.u "You want something to eat, do you i inquired a man of a lame tramp at the back door of his residence. "Ave you plase, sor." What made you lame?" "It was the earthquake, sor." "An earthquake 1" lis, sor. Ye see, I'm an Italian from the island of Ischia, an' whin the earthquake shuk up tho surface av the planet it sprung me knee, an' I'm unable to wurk, which the same I d bo plased to do u l was able. When the bulldog made a rapid exit through the gate, he was pre ceded by im Italian earthquake suner-.v. Pumping Oat the Hca. The Dutch at one time thought of pumping out the Zuyder Zee, and asked Mr. Book waiter, of Ohio, for an esti mate for turbine wheels to be worked by the tide. Thev wanted 100 tar bines, which would have cost $2,000 each. The work may yet te none. CTJEEEST EVENTS. Aberbeen. Ala., is to have a Mormon church. , Oregon county.

The special correspondent of the In- dinapolis (Ind.) Journal embodied in a re cent communication the following from Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees: I consider St. Jacobs Oil a splendid remedy. I suffered from an affection of the back and kidneys, with some rheumatism in fact it was rheumatism of the back. I used St. Jacobs Oil and found it very efficacious. It gave me instantaneous relief, and finally cureo. me completely.

On the appearance of the first symptoms as general debility, loss of appetite, pal lor, chilly sensations, followed by night sweats and cough prompt measures of re lief should be taken. Consumption is scrofulous disease of the lungs, therefore, use the great anti-scrofulous or blood puri fier and strength restorer, Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery." Superior to cod liver oil as a nutritive, and unsurpassed as a pectoral. For weak lungs, spitting of blood and kindred affections it has no equal. Sold by druggists. For Dr. Pierce's Treatise on Consumption send two stamps, World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. ! The directors of the Louisville Exposi tion have decided to give another show next year. Pure blood means perfect health. Use Samaritan Nervine and the result is cer tain i. e., health. i Duiardin's Life Essence cures neuralgia and nervous headache. 'Oh, my back?" is i a common cxclama- ion and expresses a world of misery and suffering. It is singular this pain arises lrom such various causes. Kidney disease, iver complaint, wasting affections, colds. rheumatism, dyspepsia, overwork and ner- ous debility are the chief causes. VV hen thus ailing, seek prompt relief. It can be found best in Browns Iron Bitters. It builds up from the foundation by making the blood rich and pure, heading physi cians and ministers i use and recommend it has cured many and it you are a sufferer try it. Duiardin's Life Essence positively cures hysteria,, and all nervous anections. Did any scientific ' physician know the ormula from which Ammen's Cough Syrup is prepared, he would not only rec ommend, but prescribe it to his patients troubled wTith a cough or cold, or any dis ease of the throat and lungs.
