—Gov. Anthony, of Kansas, created
quite a little sensation at Philadelphia

It is a remarkable eccentrici-

it flowed along rill and brook
and river; it was lost amid the
rolling floods of ocean, whence
the sunbeams caught it up and
returned it to the land in spark-
ling rain drops or diamond-like
gems of dew. Bat from this
he has gained no sure reply.
He asked of the air that softly
kissed his cheek and then hur-
ried away to make its circuit of
the globe. Now the raging cy-
clone, carrying destruction in
its track, and anon the favoring
breeze wafting the sails of com-
merce over the watery main.
But as it comes back from sigh-
ing through spicy groves or
sweeping icy plains, it brings
no answer to the question about
which his soul is anxious. He
asks the sun, by whose coming
and going the flowers revive arid
die; the moon, whose soft radi-
ance makes night glorious; the
stars that course their eternal
r und upon the azure vault;
but none of tiiese can say aught
of the land beyond the grave.

truth, and the life” tor all that
we can know of that undiscov-

A Register for '‘Drinks.”
Kansas City Times: On Monday
last, the Moffet register, or “bell
punch,” as it has been called,
went into, operation in every
saloon and place where alcoholic
and malt liquors are sold in
Richmond, Virginia. The law
has been fought by the liquor-
dealers in the legislature and
through the courts. It provides
for a tax of two and a half cents
on all alcholie beverages diuuk,
and half a cent on ail malt bev-
erages sold. The register is
about the size of a small cigar
box, with a crank in the rear.
Inside is the necessary machin-
ery to register each drink, and
a gong which, with each revolu-
tion of the crank, gives notice
of the fact. It will be seen that
this is a splendid idea, although
the register is not properly a
“bell punch.” We think, how-
ever, the apparatus might be
improved upon. Electric wires
might be attached to the church
bells or bells in different wards
in the city. The tolling of the
bells would then advise the peo-
ple on the streets or in the
houses just how fast the boys
were doing their work. Wives
might be able to tell in this way
how their husbands were getting
along down town. A nice amuse-
ment would spring up counting
the number of strokes in a giv-
en time in one ward and com-
paring them, in generous liv
airy, with the strokes in the
same time in another ward.
Many amusing scenes suggest
themselves from such an arange-
ment as this. In regard to the
register described above, what
a startling sensation must thrill
through the echo of that gong.
if, happily, there are any lower
I wish I had an orangoutang
here.”
“We haven’t one on the far-
rnm, sir,” said Patsey, with
some haste. “They—they was
sold by mistake, sur, last winter,
along wid de petatys.”
“Cease, barbarian !” said Mr.
Evarts with towering scorn, ev-
idently provoked beyond endur-
ance. “Upon my soul you have
as little knowledge of farm
work as the Hon. Benjamin But-
ler has of politics.”
Mr. Evarts rushed wildly to
the house.
“I think,” said Patsey, after
wasting another precious halt
hour in profound thought, “I
think Mustlier Evarts wants me
to harness the oxin to the car-
riage and put the colts to the
hay wagon.”
And all in the world that Mr.
Evarts wanted was that Patsey
should cultivate the corn.

H. S. Thrall, a historian ot
Texas, gives the following ver-
sion ot the origin of the name of
Texas : “There have been any
number of conjectures as to the
ciigin of the word Texas. 1,
That Texas, in the language of
the aboriginees, means friends ;
it is'also said that Tecas has
the same meaning. 2, That
Tejais or Texas means tile-roofs,
and that the country received
that name because the Indians
lived in houses with roots. 3,
That Tecas means people, and
it received that name because
inhabited. 4. In an article on
tribal names in America, in the
National Magazine for August,
it is said: ‘The Tachis, from
whom the word Texas was de-
rived, is a word from the Caddo
dialect, and gives title to a pop
illation which calls itself Ki wo-
rn i ; that is, two, The name
Tachis or Tecuas was applied to
a native confederacy, and an an-
cient province, Tilcues, and is
said to mean friends; just as
Dakotas meant the allied or
leagued,’ In this last statement
there are twor Lets : 1st. That

Mrs. B. M. BurchilS and
Miss Elizabeth S. Scribner
have made arrangements to combine their
efforts in establishing a permanent school in
Fort Worth. An addition to Mrs. Burchill’s
building is in process of erection, and will
be ready for occupancy on Monday , Septem-
ber 17th. This addition provides for a cla.es
of young ladies exclusively, who will be
under Miss Scribner’s charge, and receive
her undivided attention. A music room is
included in the addition and piano -practice
can be secured during school hours. Miss
Scribner is a graduate of St. Mary’s Hall,
l> ,. ,.l : rvf on 'VXixr .Tovaov Qnfi hilj Hfwl tbi
Burlington, New Jersey, and has had thir-
teen years experience in conductingthestudies
of young ladies in the higher English branch-
es, music and languages. Terms for pupils
in Miss Scribner’s department the same as
heretofore with Miss Burchill, and a reduction
will be made in tuition in music on the piano,
in case of pupils who are in attendance
in either department of the school.
In the addition provision has been made for a
Kindergarten department, which is a part of
the plan of the school, and and for which a
teacher has been engaged. Mrs. Burchill re-
tains the intermediate pupils; and the hope is
that by assigning to each-teacher a separate
department, the instruction may be thorough
and satisfactory. The addition will make
the building measure sixty by twenty-two
feet. A cabinet organ in Airs. Burchill’s
room will give opportunity for lessons in
vocal music, of which the entire school will
have the benefit without extra charge.
