JSRO WNSVILLE, THE GAR
DEN CITY.
Old Fort Brown no longer bris
tling with arms.uever again a men
ace to the town of Brownsville,
but transformed into a. beautiful,
smiling garden, where the federal
government will still preside, it is
-true, but in a guise that will make
"Uncle Same the most delightful
neighbor ever a town possessed.
This is the bright prospect which
the news wired by our good friend
Congressman Garner holds out for
rthe near future. Work is to be
gin at once on UucleSam's garden,
and in the course of a few months
Brownsville will without doubt
fcave a clear title to be called The
harden City of Texas. Never again
will surly, undisciplined and dan
gerous fiends camp within the
walls of the old post, to sally forth
tit dead of night and attempt to
murder the helpless, .sleeping citi
zens of Brownsville. Where a
short time ago brooded a hostile
foe. cherishing a malignant hatred
against the town, and plotting the
murder of our people, will soon be
growing rare and beautiful plants
'Orange groves will fill the air with
:their sweet perfume, while stately
.palai groves will add their beauty,
wines will climb in graceful profu
rsion, and beautiful flowers will
2end their glorious colors and fra-
tgrance, all helping to obliterate
athe evil memories that now cling
to the old post. Brownsville will
forgive and even forget the wrong
that came to her people from the
historic old fort, in the enjoyment
.of the beautv which will soon be
created there under the skillful
-touoh of Uncle Sam's scientific
i2ardeners.
.OF INTEREST TO VETER
ANS.
& copy of the late act granting
increased pensions to veteran
United -States soldiers of both the
Mexican ;and the Civil War has
ibeen received by The Herald
from Congressman Garner, with
the suggestion that attention be
called to its provisions so th'at ben
eficiaries under the new law may
Xake immediate steps to secure the
increased pay allowed them. The
act is copied in today's Herald
and all of the old soldiers should
zread it and adopt Mr. Garner's
jsuggestion. If there is anything
coming to the old soldiers, The
Beraxd wants to see them get it
without loss of time.
Averse to Improvements.
The greatest drawback to a pro
gressive cjty like Corpus Christi is
tthe man who owns lots with ricke
Tty shacks on them which he is
affraid to repair (and it may be a
"blessing to mechanics, for they
may give way under weight of a
ladder) and won't sell to some
body who would put a decent
looking structure on them. This
'is the genuine type of mossback,
but we are glad that Corpus holds
only a few of such. Caller.

Tho Janizaries.
The janizaries are unique in the
history of the world. Nothing like
them has ever been known in the
constitution of any state,- We think
of them somehow in, association
with the mamelukes of Egypt, but,
though there were some points in
common between them, they differ
ed widely in their character and
aim.' The mamelukes,. though orig
inally a race of slaves, founded n
sovereign dynasty in Egypt, Irat the
janizaries, even at the height of
their power, never ceased to be sol
diers, and they maintained through
out all their history, the proofs and
symbols of their lowly origin. They
made and unmade "sovereigns, but
they never aspired to the high posi
tions of state and-were content to
fill their original posts. 2Tot one
of their number ever occupied the

Norfolk's Early Protest Against
George's Tyranny.
But few of the mqst diligent stu
dents of - American history knov
that Norfolk patriots denied the
right of Great Britain to tax the
colonies without representation
over two months before the promul
gation of the celebrated Mecklen
burg declaration of independence
and nearly live months before rep
resentatives of the thirteen colonies
met at Philadelphia and formally
renounced the authority of Great
Britain.
Yet as far hack as March L3
1776, a number of Norfolk citizens
assembled under the name of "Sons
of Liberty" and announced in reso
lutions -ofDold and certauv.terms
their determined opposition- to-any-encroachments
of British authority
on their rights to govern themselves
under the British crown.
These Norfolk people did not de
clare their independence. They 'ex
pregsly affirmed their wish to he
subjects of "King George ILL They
merely declared that there should
be no taxation without represents
tion. Among the many prominent
Norfolk names attached to the doc
ument are Henry Tucker, Robert
Tucker, Robert Tucker, Jr.; Maxi
milian Calvert, Thomas Butt,
Thomas Willoughby, John Taylor,
Jr.; Joseph HutchWs, Jr., and
James Parker.
The resolutions adopted read as
follows:
Having- taken Into consideration the
evident tendency of that oppressive and
unconstitutional act of parliament com
monly called the stamp act and being
desirous that our sentiments should be
known to posterity, and recollecting that
we are a part of the colony which first
In general assembly openly expressed its
detestation of the said act. which is
pregnant with ruin and productlvo of
tho most pernicious consequences, and
unwilling to rivet the shackles of slavery
and oppression on ourselves and mil
lions yet unborn, we have unanimously
come to tho following-'resoluUons:
Resolved, That we acknowledge our
lord and sovereign. King George III.,
to be our rightful and lawful king
and that we will at all times to the ut
most of our power and ability support
and defend his most sacred person, crown
and dignity and shall always be ready
when constitutionally called upon to as
sist his majesty with our lives and for
tunes and to defend his Just rights and
prerogauves.
Resolved, That we will by all lawful
ways and means which Divine Providence
has put into our hands defend ourselves
in the fuU enjoyment of. and preserve In
violate to posterity, those Inestimable
privileges of all free born British sub
jects of being taxed only by represents
Uves of their own choosing and of being
tried by none but a Jury of their peers.
And that if we quietly submit to the
execution of the said stamp act all our
claims to civil liberty will be lost and wo
and our subjects in America are deprived
of the Invaluable privileges aforementioned.
Resolved, That a committee be appoint
ed who shall in such manner as they
think proper go upon necessary business
and make public the above resolutions
and that they correspond as they shall
see occasion with the Associated Sons of
and Friends to Liberty in the other Brlt-
lsh colonies In America.
As a result of the adoption of
these resolutions Lord Dunmore,
who commanded the British fleet off
Norfolk, made a demonstration be
fore the city, and several shots were
fired from the frigate Liverpool.

Mean of Sister.
A young fellow had called upon a
girl with whose charms he was some
what smitten and was waiting in the
parlor when her small brother came
in, weeping bitterly. From either a
sense of politic precaution or natu
ral kindness of heart the young man
had been kind to the little fellow on
several occasions and now took him
on his lap and asked the cause of the
trouble.
"Sis-sister is mean to me," the lit
tle fellow sobbed.
"Oh, I guess she didn't intend to
be. Maybe you worried her when
she was busy," the youth said con
solingly. "What was she doing?"
"She was playin' an' wouldn't let
me play, too," Bobby said.
"Playing what the piano? I
fuess she thought you didn't know
ow."
"Oh, yes, I know how better'n she
does," Bobby asserted. "She was
playin' Indian an' . wasn't puttm'
half 'nough -paint on her face."

Died Suddenly at Mercedes.
A'well known carpenter from
Brownsville, named Nicolas Hino-
josa, died suddenly yesterday
morning about five o'clock, at
Mercedes, where he was employed
by Contractor M. 'Hanson. Death
is supposed to have resulted from
heart trouble as.he was apparently
quite-as-well as. usual the night be
fore. Other occupants of the same
place heard the man groan about
the time noted and, on going to
his bed, found that he was dead.
The' deceased was a respectable
Mexican resident of (Brownsville,
where he leaves a wife and two
children. He
to his work at Mercedes Monday.,
The body was brought to Browns
ville last night for interment, and
the funeral took place this morn
ing at half past ten o'clock.
For the Household.
A pinch of salt Improves cakes,
candies and almost everything that
is cooked.
Salt on the fingers when clean
ing meat, fowls and fash will pre
vent the hands from slipping.
Starch made with soapy wate
prevents the irons from sticking
and gives a better gloss to the
linen.
If a teaspoonful of vinegar is add
ed to the water in which fash is to
be washed a most delicious flavor
will be imparted to it.
Cold baked potatoes, sliced thin
and then put in a baking dish
with salt, pepper, butter and milk,
makes a better scallop than raw
potatoes.
Food articles that are damp
should never be left in ordinary
paper. Paper is made of wood
pulp, rags, glue, lime, and similar
substances intermixed with chemi
cals. When damp, it should not
be allowed to come in contact with
things that are to be eaten.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies, j . .
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-j lllUiSUaV TcD. LOlU
.... ... t - r a i -r-
amon oi tne mucous uning oi uic .eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
