the remains of some relative, and when

between the xst and 8th of June,

To his son, the young
tefor, the Fates have been less kind
bnt he will also die a violent death—
“probably” from a fall or carriage
accident—on the 8th of March, 1916.
The Comte de Paris and the Pope
Leo XIII, will not live so long, but
both will be killed—the first on Sat-
urday, 16th of April, 1893, and the
latter oh the 4th of July, 1886. For
M. Grevy we are promised a peace-
ful life, to end quietly on the 5th of
February, 1900. But this is a soli-
tary exception. Even the Queen of
England will die a violent death,
either during a fire, or in conse-
quence of a fire, on the 10th of Sep-
tember, 1S89, while the Prince of
Wales will lose hia life through
some revolutionary movement on
the aoth of January, 1891. The
Emperor of Germany is ever men-
aced by occult and powerful enemies
seconded by the formidable intrigues
of women, yet he will survive until
the 10th of July, 1890, and live in
all ninety-three years, three months,
and eighteen days. ' The death of
Prince Bismarck will precede that
of his master by forty-one days, and
he Will probably be assassinated on
Friday, May 30, 1890. Strange to
say the monarch who of all others
seems the most threatened is destined
to live thft longest, for we are told
that.the Cxar of Russia will not die
before foe year 1900. This, indeed,
is the boldest prophecy of all, bat it
is still more wonderful to think that
there are a large number of persons
who will eagerly purchase these rev-
elations and believe in their realiza-
tion.

HUMBUG.
BY X. 1. KIDDER.
I see it In you eye, Miss!
If you lack, indeed
All the arts I’ve mentioned,
Call on Roland Reed »
He U well intentioned.
He will give you points
In hk Jackson Luster,
Nimble as to joints,
Brilliant as to “cluster.”
Humbug is hb game.
Humbug is toe drama
With a humbug name,
Reed’s an awful “shammer.”
But he makes you roar,
This there’s no mistaking
Till four acts are o’er,
And your sides are aching.
There’s Miss Ponsby, too,
Christened as Armtada
Tries' humbug tag game,
While there’s none to hinder.
Naughty Nettie Shaw,
Sweet as cream and peaches,
Traps the would-be fraud
When he overreaches.
There’s a mother, too,
Fierce ahd unforgiving,
And a father, who
Cobblers for a living I
There’s a “masher,” “Ned,"
Jovial and a joker,
And a gambler, who
Can “clean you out” at poker.
If you wish to laugh
TUI your clothes front fit yon,
Till you get so fat
Doors will not adjnit you,
“Take ta” Roland Reed,
And hb newest drama,
“Humbug” hits the mark
Harder than a hammer.
Take your wife along,
And the children wtto her,
There’s the play home, there
Haste, on hasten thither.
And, take your ms-in-law,
By Jove, it will surprise tier,
You wont! oh yes you will,
I see it ta your eye, sir.
The following items from Denison we
find in the Fort Worth Gazette’s corres-
pondent’s letter from this place last Thurs-
day, and as it b news to us, we publish
the same:

Mrs. Led rick while driving on the
boulevard yesterday came very near meet-

shafts, the harness, etc. The fair driver
escaped unharmed but somewhat fright-
ened.
C. A. King, representing S. S. Floyd ft
Co , broken in grata, cotton and provis-
ion futures, has located In this city and
will open an office for conducting the
business. __
There b considerable complaint of pod
dters in Denison, who visit res ids wees at
all hours of the day, many^ of whom are
decidedly insolent fa forcing their way
into houses to display their wares. .One
ladr on* tefflng us the other day tent no
less than seven men caBad at her house
ta one week, for the purpose of selling
something. No doubt some of the ped-
dlers are honest men, that have adopted
this means to make a living these dull
times, but It b a business thieves fre-
ly resort to to gain access to dwel
and look over the field, and they
all bear watching.

railroad tickets; while those who may
want them as souvenirs do not have to
send to Washington for them. Prepara-
tions for the inauguration ceremonies are
being carried forward with the determina-
tion to make them memorable. Tlie Bal-
timore ft Ohio, as the only direct line
west into Washington, has extended every
facility to the executive and other com-
mittee In so shaping matters as to bring
about complete success in every
l*r. The B. & O. has announced toe
lowest rates ever mad* for an inaugura-
tion, In most instances less than half-fare
for the round trip, with a limit on toe
tickets Of toe most satisfactory length. By
the B. ftO.’s recently put oa feat train
schedule, its noted limited trains
tha run through to Washington, from all
points, from one to six hours quicker
than xqy of the limited trains on other
Uaes. Not a nlckb extra b charged for
the feat time, which b directly to the con-
trary of the rule followed by other tines
with their limited trains, for upoa them
doubtf fete Is foe only way one can travel
and must take sleeping cars through,
whether wishing to do so or nob On the
B. ft O. one exercbes the good old Amen>
lean custom of going as he idea
Trains run through solid, no change of
can ot any Haas, and pay only for what b
asked for—not a cent mote, no
what may be the custom on other line*.
All these thing are well worth considering
before starting.
