It was a long race and a bard one—
a race against (line slid Manta Claus,
for I had promised lo ba at home ou
Christmas ava tu preside at tba Christ
maa Iren, bat I fallad, I waa 60U miles
away lo TVxas aud could liayo mads
It, bat oar trala was belated and did
not connect, and ( bad to spend s long
long weary day lu Hbreveport. Thure
Is Ofily one day from itiers to Meridian
and I was sick aud louesome and
longed for tbe reel and comfort of
home and kindred. Bight days Id
Texas and never taw (he auo. U
rained or it sleeted every day. Hut
they told ms they bad u sun sometime*
and invited me to oome back In Au
iuet. Everything was out of )olut.
.11 my travel, Com town to town was
by nlgbt In broken doses, fur tbe trains
were Dover on tune and I bad to ait
op and nod In cold depots from one lo
tbrse hours at utmost every departure,
and at tbe very last, when iny hopes
were buoyant aud 1 waa homeward
bound, I weal to lbs depot at Naoo
gooabaa at 8 o’clock In a oold rainy
nlgbt and tba train never got (hero
until G. I know then that lie would
wait for ua. lie was a bllarous lodl
vldual. A friend Introduced are to
blur si Bill Ai> “llill who!” said be
"Bill Arp, foa have reed after him, l
reokon.” "Yn.” aald he, “1 bare,
and he don’t cut so figure with me.”
Of course I was mortified. He passed
on, bat name back In a mlnataand
said to my friend. “I don’t take any
stock In tbeae lnfiJeU. I wasn't raised
that way. I believe there ie a heaven
aud a hell and Bob Ingeraoll nor Bill
Arp can’t fool ms aboot It.” My
friend waa mortified and said; " Wbat
has Bill Arp got to do wlUi Bob la
geraoll?” “Well.” said tbe conduc
tor, “I’ve been told that they are the
•auxt man, and they dou't cut any Az
ure with me.” lie hurried on and told
aootber man that be reckoned 1 a as
Bob Ingeraoll, for If I wasn’t 1 would
hare to bit bun, for aald be, “I would
bit anv maa wbo called uie Bob ln
gereull.” Of course I was not calm
and eertma, for while going from
Vicksbarg to Monroe on my onward
trip a mao asked me where 1 preached,
and I felt eomplluaeoted. The oar waa
full of preachers going to tlie synod
and he supposed I was one of the in.
Aud again I was mistaken for apraaoh
er nt Jacksonville by Uie barber. I
gave him a quarter and ba was about
to hand me back 15 can Is and said,
“Yon are a preacher ain't yon?”
“No,” said 1, “what made yon think
I was a preacher?” “You look like
one,” said ba, nod lie took back tbe
nickel. So you see t wee oomtbrling
myself on lay reverened appearance,
when all of a sudden I was openly
snubbed for being an lofidnl.
Hut my greatest uilifortnoe In lasing
a day waa lu having to travel ou
Christ mas eve aud night. All aloog
tba line tba boys were on a spree and
by tba time we reached Vicksburg Mr.
Chapman, the conductor, waa tired
onf. He is a parent, considerate maa
and I sympathised wltb bla efforts lo
keep the peace. ff» parted company
at Vicksbarg and he remarked that It
waa tbe hardest day’s work bs bad
bad la years.
Then can*) the tug of war. Christ
mas eve aod night au Vicksburg and
on to Meridian was pandemonium.
Tbe negroes swarmed In at both sod*
of lbs oar—at l*a*t a hundred, and
nearly all were drunk and had bottles
aod Jags without number. They ware
from the neighboring country aud bad
been "away down to Vicksburg town”
to get supplies for Christmas About
s duaen of at found oartelvss suddenly
penned In tbs middle of tbe ear by the
odoriferous compound sod resolved to
■tske a break for liberty aod Ireeb air.
One big bold msti said be would make
a way aod wa must follow, aod we
did. We seised our grips aod got out
somehow, The neat e»r waa fall, too,
aod so we shipped rouod to tbe ladles’
car aud took refuge aod standing room
only, for it was crowded to overflow
ing with women and children sod
Christmas doing* of all kinds Doll
carriages and boy* wagons sod boss*
and paper sack* and toys and tin horns
and baskets fall of ell aorta of tricks
sod presents One whole seat waa oc
cupied with su express wagon and It
was fall of bsnsaae. Hmsli boys were
tootlug boras all along tbe line—loot!
toot !—toot I toot t "8top that. Bob.”
said a fond parent, •‘now. stop It I”
Bob stopped s moment, till the food
parent resumed Ids conversation with
a friend. Then Its began, low and soft
but soon got louder sod louder • »*Bob
I told you to stop that racket, If you
don’t I will throw that born out of the
window.” Bob stopped about two
minutes and whltprred to hlx mother
that tba window wasn’t up. 8tie, too
was talk I of to a friend. Toot ! toot!”
I heard tbe born—a kind of ptanM
mo staoooto, bnt It soon swelled Into
a tumultaso furies)mo fortissimo,
when suddenly the foad parent skied
it and stuck it In his overcoat pocket.
They got off at the neat station and
their easts were token before I could
soy Jack Ho Meson.' By ead by suougfa
bad got off for me to get a corner next
to e not stove It was eloea by the
water tank, but there was no water.
It was emky when we left Vicksburg
and stayed empty. Every minute or
two some women or child or man cum
end worked oo lint faucet la vulu.
Then Uv# men took tbe top off end
reached down for water, but found
none. The porter pasted through and
his nttaatioa waa sailed to U. but
ha mode no sign and brought no water
Children began to cry for It, end I
would have given half a dollar for a
b.:eket fail for them but the trnla
wouldn't stop long enough at a station
far me to step oat and bap It. It waa
raiding outside.
"Water, water everywhere,but uot
a drop to drink.” Somebody blunder
ed on that train. Soma of tba paaaan
gcra were from Tuu, going «a*t to
vlalt their kindred, treveliog oo the
half-rate excursion and they were dla
gut led. Tbit la wont than Texas,
they said. We were due at Meridian
at V o’clock and got there at 1. It
was a long, long, weary oiglit to me
and la tbe laat time I will ever travel
daring Christmas holidays. I wae
half sink all the time, bat had to keep
on and Dll the appointments the bu
reau had made for me. If I had been
at home I would have gone (o bed
where 1 am uow. tt reminds me of
u>y nigger Bob, who spent two years In
the ebsmgang, sod says, "Dey baio’t
got but lea’ two laws In dal and you
mutt bids by '«m. One It, you must
do a fall day’s work ef you ta well.
The Oder la, you mutt be well. Heap
ttmea 1 imagine I wae etok, and 1
would have been sick ef i had been at
buma, but de bote eay I wasn't tick
and de boas kuows.”
But I met lota of good poop)* )• ev
ery town and they don't teem at all
prostrated by tbe low price of eottou,
for almost every farmer has a buocb
ef cattle, aud they mean by that from
fifty lu five hundred bead, aod they
have uo guano debts to pay. Peaches
are oomlng to tb* front very rapidly lu
euitern Texas aaa commercial product.
I never saw Oner orchard! nr more of
Item than those around Ueodrnun
aud Jacksonville. All that region is
•••out on a parallel with Savannah and
Hruoewieh, but leas cold as Atlanta
aud OrlfHii. The line of equal heat la
a very crooked one for rot. I mad
that tbe winters in tbe Slate of Wash
ington are not as cold as ous aod tbe
boyi go bartfouted all tbs ymr round.
Urudsieoo pleased me very much, for
the street! are sandy and the rain
makes uo mud and tbe people filled the
long hall from front to rear,
Nocodoebes Is perhaps the oldest liv
ing town lu Texas aod one of tbs beat.
Tuuti srs older town*, like Jeflersoo,
but they are dead. This town was
named for s tribe of Indians. So was
Kate her. In Mimiesippl aud bulb
tribes are now extinct. Like the As
tres, the red men are passing sway.
There Is so old stone fort right on the
corner of tbe public square. It waa
built by tbe Spanleh-CaUioilas for a
mission house about two hand rod years
ago aod Is preferred as a rsllc of the
•gee. It baa no doors or windows to
tbs ground Itoor sod tlte oclraooe la
by a ladder to a window or opening
some ten feet from the ground. Wbat
an earn set, xmlois people ware those
follower* of Ui* hituc If omUui LotoIa
wbo penetrated the wilderness of ell
countries to convert even sages to
their faitb.
ThU little city waa tbe home of Torn
Ochiltree in bygo>.e days—the tteao
Brutooel of America. He praetlond
law here for a while In paruwnhip
with hit fattier, aud tbe sign waa over
the door "Too Ochiltree and Katber. ”
I would like to enlarge upon tbe at*
tractloua of tbia growing city and tbe
good people 1 met, and I would make
■pecial and grateful mention of Mr.
Mims and Mr. Schmidt, wbo are two
of natnra'a noblemen, both in walk
and conversation. I wlab that the
world wae full of each mao. They
wore kind to me in many way* and It
will ever give me pleaaore to recall
them in memory. I was told after t
left there that Kaoogdocbea bad many
■ueh oitlaeoa and waa as exceptionally
refined oomm unity.
On reaching Meridian I found that
no train made eloee connection with
ours sare tbe Alabama Orest South*
era, and f. just bad liini to buy a ticket
aod get aboard a train for Chatta
nooga. By tbl* time we bad a Mg lot
of Texana wbo oama by It* Orleans
and were going east, many or them
going U> Georgia to spend the holidays.
Ws sat up aod talked through tbe
night, and by sunrise bad rsaohed that
wonderful city called Port Payne, tbe
strangest eity I ever saw. Turn Hood
once wrote a poem about a taunted
bouse that almost soares you to read
it, but here are a thousand haunted
bouaea, nil abandoned and forlorn, and
they all look haunted. T wouldn't
walk amog them in tbe night. Soma
of them arc floe bouaea and ooat mweb
money and there la a hotel of Acw
Queen Anne architecture with no
goesta and not even a curtain to tbe
windows. Thera are arfarnltbed or
abandoned foundries and machine
ebope aud mammoth livery stabtea
with no bo ran In them.

Now Otlwu Dl.pctcu, lUti,
A geuenl etaliou was held through
out LojieUua to diy oo the question
of holding a constitutional convention.
At tlie ft*Dee time that lbe voter* voted
for or against a convention they chore
delegatee, to that lo cane tbe conven
tion wae approved It could meet at
ooee without the Deceaslty of a new
eteettOD.
There were 184 delegates to to* elec
ted, SC from the State at large aod M
from the several leprosentatlve dis
tricts. The oonvenUon was celled by
the legislature at Its last session, and
tbe cell wm approved aod indorsed by
the Democratic party with tbe avowed
purpose of pressing a suffrage qualifi
cation that would disfranchise tbe
negro.
Tbe Populists combined with tlis
Republican In opposition to the eon
voutkm. on the ground that Die Legis
lature had no right to reetrlot It sod
prohibit It from touching certain mat
ters. A joint Popul 1st-Be publican
ticket for deiegatea-at-large was nomi
nated, composed squally of members of
the two parties. Nearly all nf the
white Republicans, however, either
onmblued with the DesMorets or sop
ported tbe Democratic candidates for
dale gules In order to get rid of the
nearoes as voter*.
Tbe rleotlon, which wae held under
the Australian ballot lew, passed off
without exoitemeot. A very light
vote we* polled. Is New Orleans hot
over 40 par sent, of the negro vote was
polled. Tbe proposition to call the
convention carries the city by s major

didates at large toy 15.00a In the
several election districts tbe Demo
crats were sacoeeef al over Ike Repub
licans nod Independents by large ma
JorUiei exoept two, the drat aod the
fifteenth, where tbs result la in doubt.
Tbe tame lnkewarraneae was shown
through tbe HtaU end a small vote was
east. The convention bee carried tbe
State toy* majority of 88,000and a
Democratic ticket nt large la elected by
40,000. Tbe Indications ere that the
ounvenlion will consist of 110 Demo
crats, 10 Populists, 0 Independent*, 8
sugar Republicans, who will vote with
tbe Demuerats for an educational qnsli
Acatlon to disfranchise the negro, and
S regular Republicans. There will be
no negro la the convention.

WUm U»e postal congress mat io
Washington last gear It was decided
that oo or before January 1,1800, the
three prlaclpal denominations of the
pottage sum pi of the world should be
uniform la oolor. Third Assistant
PoatiBMter Oaneral Merritt La tbe drat
to order the change, sad It is likely
that the oomiog t waive month* will
ae« many changes throughout tire pos
tal union.
The oua cent stamp of Ilia United
States sad lb a franc of like value la
foreign countries Is to be green of ths
■om* hue sa tlx. old threc-ccnt stamps
Thetwo-cent stamp 1* to remain ver
mUllau In color, and Great Britain's
penny purple must oonform to it, while
in llio case of tha five cant stamp we
will adopt ths blue of tier two and a
half pence. Although Mr. Merritt baa
Instructed the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing to dlseoatlouu the use of
the old colors and to adopt tha new,
and although tha new one-caul stamps
»ro being turned oat at the rate of U,.
000 a minute from each press, It will
be a inontli or more before the public
wl! have an opportunity to use them.
Tbe rnlea of tha Bureau of Bagrav
ing and Pnnllag provide that lbs re
serve stack of each denomination Shall
be sufficient to supply the more Uiati
70,000 poatomce* for at least three
months. Buell a stock of 6-oeatstamps
Is on bsnd, but the demand for 1-oent
stamps It so great that the present
must be kept ruonlng c.rationally to
keep up tbe reserve of 100,000,000
stamps, and in anticipation of the
change the supply hss been silo wad to
drop to tear only 00,000,000. Tbe
quarterly orders erenow being Hied,
end It Is not unlikely tbat tbe new
stamp* may make their appearance by
February t.
Uniformity of color In the stamp* of
tbe same denomination throughout tbe
world, It la now believed, will be of tbe
greatest advantage both to the postof
ftee official! and to the loan at. The
tourist who may oot know the money
veins of the country at la sat will know
tbat a blue stamp will carry a foreign
letter, a red stamp a domestic on* and
a green one a newspaper or untested
poit.

though after the flgbt wbleb was
