SAM HOUSTON’S VANITY. Not Above the’ Ordinary Weaknesses. to a reporter. the characteristics intimately acquainted. to illustrate his youthful vanity. in his showy uniform, and after pass- another glance. ions. “Tam, ladies, Lieutenant Hous- ton, of the United States army,” said the young soldier, as he stepped forward and lifted his hat as he ad- dressed them. General Houston told me once how he captured Santa Anna. Just after the battle of San Jacinto, two of Houston’s men, who were search- ing for prisoners, scared up a deer, which ran through the tall grass. The frightened animal passed near a Maxican who was concealed in the herbage and who jumped up in evi- dent alarm. The two immediately secured the stranger, who asserted he was a common soidier. “You are not,” saidone of his cap- tors, “look at your fine embroidered vest. You are an officer.” The Mexican in his embarrass- ment ran his fingers into his jacket pocket and drew out an elegant gold snuff box. This more than ever caused the Americans to believe him an officer. He offered them a large sum of money to release him, but they refused and started with him to Houston's tent. As they passed a large group of Mexican prisoners these men cried out that Santa Anna was captured. The Mexican general, thus expos- ed, urged his captors to take him at once to General Houston's tent. He remembered the affair of the Alamo, and was afraid that he would be summarily dealt with by the Texan soldiers who began to crowd around him. Santa Anna was, by General Jackson’s order transferred to Wash- ington, and from there, after he had made a treaty acknowledging the independence of Texas, to Mexico. The action of General Houston in bringing the battle of San Jacinto was daring. He had the bridge across Buffalo bayou destroyed dur- ing the night, so that all avenues of escape for the Mexican army was cut off. The morning of the battle General Houston said that he was awakened by the sun shining in his face, and thought he beheld the sun of Austerlitz. The Mexicans were encamped east of his position. Houston waited until the sun had crossed the heavens and was shin- ing in the faces of the Mexicans be- fore he made a movement to assault their position. These ease loving People about the hour of 1 in the afternoon began : to take their usual siestas, in which _» unfortunate pleasure they were en- gaged when Houston attacked them.

They were attracted by the handsome man ing him turned their heads to get “‘T wonder who that man is,’ one of them exclaimed to her compan- Clayton’s Murderer. Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 12.—There was a sensational rumor in circula- tion here this morning to the effect that Gov. Eagle had issued a requi- sition on the governor of California for the murderer of John M. Clay- ton, who had been located there. His excellency, on being interview- ed, denied the issuance of any such an instrument and refused to dis- cuss the matter further. It was in- ferred, however, from his rigid si- lence that important discoveries had recently been made and that forth- coming developments were being awaited in the executive office. It is known that efforts to desig- nate and locate thed perpetrator of that foul crime has never been aban- doned by the department of state and that a considerable amount has been expended in following up dif- ferent clues. Any number of the- ories have been announced and all exploded with investigation. It ap- pears, however, that the latest ru- mor gives promise of better results, and notwithstanding the matter is being zealously guarded as a secret of state, there are good reasons for believing that the rumor was not wholly groundless.

Fire in an Orphans’s Asylum. New York, Feb. 12.—Fire was dis- covered shortly after 8 o'clock this morning in a garret uver the fourth floor of the Roman Catholic Or- phans’ asylum on Fifth avenue, op- Poison Oak. The following extract, taken from | a letter written by Mr. E. A. Bell, fully explains itself: A TERRIBLE REVENGE. | Queer Story of the Recent Explosion | at Lima, 0. While surveying land in 18831} accidentally handled poison oak vine and in less than three hours (the eruption usually resulting from such contact begins in ten days,) my face was swollen and disfigured, and my hands and arms seriously effected. I immediately began taking Swift's Specific (S.S.S.), and after taking three large bottles I found all signs of the breaking out entirely remov- ed. I was led to suspect its return at the same time next year, but it did not, nor has there been any in- dications of its return since. My little boy, eight years old, was effected with the same poison in 1884. After trying several bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) the eruptions entirely disappeared. A very slight form of the same erup- tion returned during the next spring but we then resumed the S S.S., and having taken enough during that season to make the cure perma- nent, he has not had any return of the disease. Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) certainly effected thorough cures in both these cases and I certainly regard it as a most effective remedy for all such diseases. E. A. Bell, Anderson, S. C.

The children had just finished their breakfast and had taked their seats in the several class rooms when the superioress, Mother Mary Marting, learned of the outbreak of the fire. She at once sounded the alarm used in the fire drill in the asylum and, aided by the other sisters, marshaled all the ehil- dren in orderly files from the class- rooms down to the Madison avenue entrance, where they were in perfect safety.

B. Showalter, a deaf mute employed at the Stand- ard oil refinery, given at the inquest being held by the coroner. Showal- ter said that the morning before the explosion, which killed one man and injured five others, he was at work in the still house when a strange man approached him from behind and tapped him on the shoulder. He looked around and the strange man motioned him to follow him. He did so and the fellow gave him a note, telling him that everything was fix- ed and that when he gave him the tip to look out. Showalter was frightened and did not work tne next day when the explosion took place. The strange man had never been seen before and the supposi- tion is thet the explosion is the work of some one as revenge against the company. The matter is being thor- oughly investigated.
