Hamilton lferald.
Quite correct. Mr. Hogg has
demonstrated the fact to the people
of 1 exas that he is not afraid to
tackle the railroads if the violate
the law, also that he has'both the
courage and the ability to discharge
in full every obligation which the
duties of his office impose. This

WAR RELICS AT THE FAIR.
In addition to Libby Prison,
which-has -tdveady
Chicago, it is proposed by certain
sensationalists of the Windy City
to secure for exhibition at the
W orld’.s Fair the old enginchouse at
Harper’s Ferry, where John Brown
made his last stand. The object is
to make it a shrine at which faith-
ful pilgrims from all parts of the
North shall bow and do obeisance
to the apostle of rapine and murder.
Such a spectacle would not be cal-
culated to further the reunion of
North and South at our great na-
tional celebration, and it would
seem that the occasion*might sub-'
serve a more truly national and pa-
triotic purpose. If the admirers of
the Kansas iiorsetbief and a-sassin
choose to deify him, the South has
no opposition to offer. It is a mut-
ter of taste and morals. But the
South does object to having the fair,
paid for in part by its own money,
made the vehichle of such a display.
» However, if the darkest incidents
of the struggle between the two sec-
tions must be advertised to the
world, the sensation-mongers should
adopt the suggestion of the Chicago
Herald, that the chamber of horrors
be made as complete as possible.
The Herald names Andersonville
as an interesting feature, and kind-
ly adds this list of curiosities :
“The rope with which Ben But-
ler hanged Mumfbrd, and that which
choked Wirtz, the one which throt-
tled John Brown, and the other
which shut off the wind of Guiteau
would be admirable and chaste ad-
ditions. The pistol which killed
Linooln, and the other one that fin-
ished Garfield would he artistic fea-
tures of the growing display of hor-
rors. The bloody slnrt would be

Greeley as a Farmer.
When Mr. Greeley atChautau-
qua hr wrote his celebrated book on
fnrnpng, and insisted that his friend
Jones should purchase a farm ad-
jacent to his own. When he had
ceased picturing the delights and
advantages of such a residence Mr.
Jones asked him what he had
raised that year.
“Well,” said Mr. Greeley, “I
had a good crop of hay.”
“That i* encouraging,” said Mr.
Jones. “I suppose you realized a
profit from it.’,’ -
“Not a great profit,” was the an-
swer. “You see I had the hay
cured an^l got it into the barn all
right before the rain came, but that
did not save it.”
