The winter Is past, the snow is gone,
And spring her raiments hath pnt on.
The festive fly and mesqnito too
Will soon appear to torment yon.
Is it warm enough? So oft and quick
Will be asked by friends, it'll make yon sick.
Especially so if you're arrayed
In clothes for winter weather made.
Then "fire them now if you'd have rest,
And in a new spring suit invest.
Washer & August "take the cake"
When it comes to goods of superior make.
And if you call, what e'er your taste,
They'll please you and no time you'll waste.

Bayard is the beau ideal of an
American statesman. No matter
how tempting tho opportunity he
will not toot bis own horn, and his
remarks aro always frcightod with
wisdom and rare common sense.
Chicago's spread oaglo mayor,
Carter Harrison, put his foot in it
at the ball at tho Iroquois club ban-
quet. Tho question arises, is he a
protectionist or a freetrader? His
views, . as telegraphed, seem to bo
somewhat diffused.

were lost as fiir as heurd from.
The diftei'eneo between Cincin-
nati and Chicago is tritely statod by
the lntor-Ocean: •
While Cincinnati is spending a
week in spouting Shakespeare and
giving a 8100 premium on seats, Chi-
cago will go on sahinwf down 100,-
000 hogs per week. The squealing
of pigs and the lowing of cattle in
50 acres of pens may not be as ele-
vating us opera and the drama, but
it has its redeeming points.
The New1 York Sun has a peculiar
faculty for condonsing dynamic forces
and planting its blows in vital parts.
What could bo noater, sharper or
more incisive than this ?
What drew W. E. Chandler to
Florida ? It is a psychological truth
that a horrible fascination some-
times impels a guilty consionca to
revisit the scono of a great crime,
years after its commission.
The Boston Herald, Independent,
is on an eVon kOol when it sajs -'the
true policy and the manifest purposo
of tho Democrats aro so clear that
no genius for blundering can load
them to commit tho final and monu-
mental blunder of nominating a can-
didate who would divido their own
party and consolidate its opponents.
The Democrats of other statos quito
enjoy tho spectaclo of seeing Gov.
Butler worry tho Republicans of
Massachusetts, but they do not seo
in his reputation or record anything
to commend hiin as tho national can-
didate of their part)'." It is all well
enough to teaso tho Republicans of
Massachusetts with tho Butlor idea,
but there are no Democrats outside
of the slums of Boston who Want the

this slopped over:
"Now, if the Ghetto would just
gel an editor, its establishment
would be completo."

Tup New York correspondent of
tho Cincinnati Gazette interviewed
Gon. W. T. Martin, ot Mississippi,
on the tariff question. Gen. Martin
is the Mississippi mombor ot tho
National Democratic executive com-
mittee. He is reported as saying
that the tariff issue will be one of
tho main questions of the next cam-
paign so far as his statois concerned,
and that Mississippi is in favor ol
protection, and Would not support a
froo trade candidate. He says Mis-
sissippi is rapidly fconting to tho
front as a manufacturing state, und
therefore lior people aro naturally in
favor Of a protective policy! Ho
thinks his people would like to see
Gon. Hancook tho standard-bearer
of Uio Democratic party, although
Senator Bayard is a great favorite.
Gon. Martin makes sovoral state-
ments that don't amount to much.
Mississippi Is not coming rapidly to
the front as a manufacturing state,
and if sho wore hor people would"
not "naturally favor tho protective
policy." It is also questionable
whether tho Democracy of that state,
or any other southern stato, desiro
oithor Hancock or Bayard as tho
standard-boarer in 1884.

The Galveston Print olten pays
its respects to Fort Worth enter-

mentary. For instanco, it recog-
nizes tho dashing enterprise of the

Tho Fort Worth Gazette is the

A Suit for Damages.
Messrs. A. M. Carter Hyde, Jennings
and J. J. .farvis, representing M. L.
Welder, of 8t. Louis, yesterday filed
suit in the district court against Sheriff
W. T. Maddux and his bondsmen for
$10,000 damages. M. Spiro, doing busi-
ness here und in St. Loills, made an as-
signment to M. L. Weider for
the benetit of his creditors. The
stock was subsequently attached and
sold by the sheriff. Weider now alleges
that In doing so, Maddox rendered hlm-
i self liable for damage. The suit Is on
the Indemnity bonds llled when the at
tachments were levied. The bonds ure
as follows: One for $2,800.00, wlthThos
A Tidball, Sidney Martin and Colin,
Wainple & Co. as sureties; one for
$3,800.00, with Thos. A. Tidball, Sidney
Martin and A. Frankenthnl & Bro.. as
sureties; and another for $4,000, with
ltobt. McCart, Frank Ball, J. W. Wray
and B. Kimpinskv as sureties. As the
bonds are all good. Sheriff Maddox is
safe in any case. Before making un at-
tachment the sheriff always requires an
Indemnity bond for double the amount
for which the property is attached.
• Blind Tom.
Blind Too) will appear at Deutscher
Vereln hall next Monday'and Tuesday
evenings. The following notice of this
wonderful creature is from the Nfcw Or-
leans Picayune: : , ,
This straugely gifted negro boy had a
large audience at Grunewald Hall yes-
terday afternoon. It Is likely that he
will appear again In New Orleans In the
course of a few weeks. The spectacle
of an oddity, or an eccentricity, In manv
of the relations of life, is not ordinarily
surprising to the world. The^ t>a«J be-
fore us in numerous shapes and foruifc.
and such is the frequency and,varl$ty of
their recurrence that mankind rarely
turns Its head to take a second look.
Hut here is a profound psychological
mystery, whose depth lies far below the
plummet if speculation. Born a slave,
deprived before birth of the power of
vision, endowed with faculties that
hover upon the border-land between in-
telligence and non-responsiblllty—that
narrow horizon which t>eems destined
to be forever illumined by the twilight
of Intellect—he Is yet a musical mirtfcle.
Uod, in Ills Inscrutable wisdom, denied
him sight. He saw tit likewise to limit
the range of his faculties, but to com-
pensate the poor blind negrdboy for th<f
want of these, he so richly endowdfl him
with the genius of art, so tilled htsunil
with melody,that there is hardly a man In,
the wide world, whatever his aptitude
b'r training, who excels him in command
of his Instrument. His range of thenm
is great. Whether It Is a sonata of
Beethoven of a wild African plantation
hymn, the divine inspiration of Tom
tlnds utterance and expression--at one
moment beguiling the listener into the
dreamey ecstacy, again lifting him into
a species of sympathetic exaltation. It
Is Impossible to describe Tom, or the ef-
fects of his music. To fully understand
and appreciate and enjoy him', One ui'ust
hear him.

Alleged Thieves Caught.
For some time back the farmers resld'
Ing in the vicinity of Village creek havtf
been made tho victims of some specu-
lative gentlemen with a tendency to in-
crease their herldltaments at the ex-
pense of their neighbors. Plows, har-
rows and various farming implements
disappeared with astonishing ra-
pidity, and the rightful owners
were Ih a qitandry act to their
sreabouts. . Suspicion finally fell
upon two men named WAF. Barton arid
Tom Overton, who moved to that neigh-
borhood a short time ago and xenteu a
little piece of ground which they com-
mence to cultivated. The stealing com-
menced soon after their arrival und con-
tinued at Intervals until Monday night;
Joe Ayres, art uncle to the^ well
known Fort Worth attorney ll. P.
Ayres, went to bed as usual Monday
night. AVhen he retired a good irori
plow and some of its appurtenance*
were in the yard, but when he got up
vesterday morning It had vanished.
Mr. Ayres Immediately proceeded to
trace his property, ana became pretty
well convinced that the new arrivals.
Barton and Overton, had appropriated
It. He made complaint, to the proper
authorities, and this morning tn6 twd
men were arrested by Deputy Sheriff J.
11. Maddox and Assistant Jailer Thomp-
son. The men were unable to give bail
and were placed in the county Jail.
