“A Fair Barbarian’’
p pretty girl dressed in
“Chestnuts.”
It. is one of the signs of clvilizaticn that
humanity clothes itself not only
with a due regard to decency^ tut
in a manner conformable to the
times. Although people can dress
themselves In an ultra-fashionable
manner, yet it is not civilization
which demands that, but bad taste.
If any of the fair ladies desire to
see
True Elegance,
They will find that which their
Natural Good Taste Demands

FROM THE EAST.
Editor Poal.Mirror.
Atlanta Georgia i« a little world in
itself. The cause of gospel Missions
was greatly promoted by the Southern
Baptist Convention meeting here. The
Governor of Georgia made the speech
of welcome. The Trinity Methodists of-
fered their immense bouse for the use of
the Convection. Great kindness was
shown in hospitalities and in many ways.
The railroads all over the South extended
courtecies in reduced rates. And though
money was never more scarce, yet. lar-
ger contributions than ever were re-
ported. Churches represented from the
St. Lawrance to the Rio Grande. Texas
had several trains run over a distance of
a thousand miles bv the way of New
Orleans, Shreveport and Jackson, Miss.,
and by the way of Memphis.
After the convention was over, I went
East to visit old friends in up Georgia.
The country has greatly changed in 30
years, and there were many improve-
ments I did not expect to see. The hills
looked higher, the country locked poorer,
but the people looked better, and the
machinery of life seemed to run smooth-
ly and hopefully. In Alabama around
my old home things were more Inviting
than I expected. In twenty years many
things have changed for the better In
this State. But Texas is the oboioe State
for the future. Many East would like to
live in Texas if they could get there
without leaving their old friends and glv- .
ing up the old homes. My wife and self
are resting and enjoying till our time is
out June 4th. Little Willie is happy all
the time, except the long wearisome
journeys. That hurts a child. Health
of the people good. Crop prospects
fine. Free-labor has greatly improved.
New tin yards, hew cotton mills, new
factories, new foundries, new railroads,
new school and church buildings are in
mapy localities, and this is what Texas
needs.
E. B. Hardik.
A sore leg, the flesh a mass of dis-
ease, yet P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke
Root and Potassium) achieved wonder-
ful results, the flesh was purified and the
bone got sound, and my health- was es-
tablished, says Mr. James Masters, of
Savannah, Ga. •
Honest vs, Extravagant Government.
There is considerable dissatisfaction
throughout the country at the action of
the house, which passed the river and
harbor bill, appropriating $38,000,000
absolutely, besides providing for work
which will involve the expenditure of
many millions more. It is claimed in
some quarters that the whole course of
this congress should have been a rebuke
to the spendthrift extravagance of tbe
Republican billion dollar congress. It
is well known that the treasury is not
able to meet the enormous demands up-
on it; and that the pension steals will
come near enough exhausting it. This
Democratic Congress ought undoubtedly
to have narrowed down tbe appropria-
tions to the lowest possible limit. A few
years more of reckless extravagance will
place the United States in the condition
of Italy, which Is trembling on the verge
of financial ruin. Perhaps, after all,It
would have been better for congress to
have gone to the race tracks in a body
and let the country take care of itself.—
Statesman.)
English It la.
MacMillan's Magazine contains an ar-
ticle going to show that English is the
coming language of the world. It be-
gins to take the place of French on the
Continent aa the language of common
conversation between all countries—
an international coin of talk. In Ger-
many it is the first foreign language to
oe learned. Even in Russia it is becom-
ing more fashionable than French, The
writer in MacMillan’s, Mr. C. R. Hainee,
mentions the fact that at the interna-
tional Samoan conference, in 1889, the
language need was English instead of
Flench, the German diplomats all being
able to speak English. Mr. Hainee does
not mention, however, as he might have
done, that English was used because
the American diplomats were nnable to
•peak anything else.
In Africa English is driving ont
French, German and Portuguese. In
4«ia the same oendition exists. The
agency which has spread the English
language abroad is colonisation, and
that habit which people who speak it
have of gadding about all over tbe earth.
Mr. Haines says:
In a hundred year* the United BUtes will
probably havaee many inhabitants a« China,
and It la not likely that Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and tbe Cape will fall D<uob
short of half their total.
There are already eigne that English la be-
coming the literary language ot Europe. Pro-
feeeor Vambery, a Hungarian, publlahed bis
autobiography flret In an English dress; tbe
Dutch author of tbe “Bln of Jooet Avellng"
wrote hla novel, “An Old Maid,” In English,
and the author of •"The Crustacea of Norway,"
himself presumably a Norwegian, frankly
owns In his advertisement that to obtain tho
largest possible circulation for his book It will
be written In tbe English language.
Count Pulaski's Heir.
Not long since an old man was hurt
at the corner of Sixth and Vine streets,
in Philadelphia, and taken to a hospital.
He was a dingy, broken down looking
individual, and was peddling cough
drops and shoestrings. He was a Pole,
unable to speak more than a few words
of English, and was naturally taken at
once to the pauper wards of the hospi-
tal. Yet this forlorn foreigner was a
nobleman, a Polish count, who had been
brought np in luxury and owned large
estates in Poland before tho Russian
government confiscated them and sent
him, Casimir Suffozynski, an exile to
Siberia.
That is one part of the story. The
rest of it, and one which congress and
every Citizen of this country ought to
lay to heart and feel ashamed over, i«
that this feeble old panper who peddles
shoestrings and cough drops in Philadel-
phia is one of the two only living heirs
of the brave Count Pulaski, of Poland,
who fell mortally wounded at Savannah
in 1779, while fighting for ns in tbe Rev-
olution. Since 1883 his heir, the feeble
old count who peddles shoestrings, has
been trying to get congress to pass a bill
giving to him the amonnt, with interest
from date, of Count Pulaski’s back pay,
and congress will not do it. The case
ought to go on record along with the '
French spoliation claim*
It is almost inconceivable, this insult
of a great, rich country to the memory
of the gallant and chivalrous Count Pu-
laski, to whom the Moravian nuns of
Bethlehem presented the banner cele-
brated in tbe poem:
Take thy banner; may It wave
Proudlv o’er the good and brave. i
Loyal IteiMibllcana Never Think.
The Journal informs cx Governor
Ames that a man who is an aspirant for
honors at the hands of the Republican
party in Maasachnsetts must take care
not to have the approval of any bnt the
straight Republican organs. The ex-
governor is likewise informed by the
same authority that he must not pre-
sume to have any opinioas of his own on
the eve of a critical campaign. The pen-
alties of greatness in tho Republican
party in this state are getting pretty
heavy.—Boston Herald.
CbarMtirlMtlc Republican Loyalty.
Mr. Harrison's friends go on electing
Harrison delegates with a unanimity
that is simply amazing, and the early
Blaine delegates in Pennsylvania are
fairly tumbling over each other in their
eagerness to get under the Harrison um-
brella. The only contingency that will
make President Harrison decline a re-
nomination that is hit now without the
asking will be the thorough conviction
that he does not stand the ghost of a
chance of an election.—Philadelphia
Times. '_
Their Doubts Are Nature!.
Those New York Republicans who are
running Blaine for president evidently
believe that not only the Malligaa
letters, bnt all recent letters sent forth:
as Blaine utterances, are forgeries.
They can scarcely be blamed for think-
ing that the Plumed Knight would not
write another letter nnder any circum-
stances —Kansas City Times.
Just About Hie Caliber.
Having failed to bring on a war with
little Chili, Mr. Harrison is now out
shooting snipe. He has found a place
at last where his ultimatums go at their
face value.—St. Louis Republic.
Unanimity of Cont.mptuaas ladlflerenco.
It may be Harrison, and it may b»
unanimous. But if it is it will bo fatal,
because it will be the unanimity of con-
temptuous indifference.—New York
Commercial Advertiser.
It*i HU Last Chance.
The reason the president uses hisshot-t
gun so innch is perhaps because he likes;
to be making a big noise about this time.'

rested development is required tho Alger,
