Abase of a "Word.
There is no term which is more abused
than the word '"practical."" It is made
tornean anything and everything, and
those who are the most rabid in insisting
npon it that theirs is toe only orthodox
and correct definition are the ones whe
abuse it the most and lower it most ef?
fectually. They narrow it down until it is
the synonym of imperfection and incom?
pleteness; until it represents crude, blun?
dering rule-of-thumb methods. To ac?
cept the most frequently given definition
of the word, it would be applied to the
rude methods cf r>ivigatiou of five cen?
turies ago instead of to the superior and
.successful systems of today.
The tentative coast navigation of the
Phoenicians would be called practical,
and the scientific, systematic, everyday
plan adopted by the ocean racers and
the ocean l*easts of burden, wbkh run
rn a ?et coarse and leave an?! arrive by a

deemed **tlieoreiical." How many sins
are conmcired in the name of "practi?
cal" matters and .'practical" doctrine!

nists in Texas suf?
fered so much from
the interference of
usurping Mexican
rulers that in the
summer of 1 835
they began to fight
for independence.
Gen. Houston took
command of the
Texan army in
November, and on
Dec 10 a brilliant
victory at San Antonio de Bexar diwethe
entire Mexican army from the stat?. Santa
Anna, the reigning dictator, immediately
potan army fla motion to overrun the Tex
ansiftnd on the 23d of February drew up
in front of San Antonio. His plan, de?
clared in ml vance, was to drive all revolu?
tionists out of Texas, together with all for?
eigners near the sea coast and on the bor?
ders of the United States; to remove from
Texas all colonists not daiy^entercd accord?
ing to Mexican .rules, and' to permit no
Anglo-American to settle there. The ex?
pense of tiie war was to be saddled upou
toe Texans.
Houston did not propose to meet the in- ,
vaners on the outposts, lie deemed the
Texas army too weak, and had no faith in j
tbepromiscsof friendly Mexicans along the j
border. He ordered the position nt San
Antonio to be abandoned, the works de
raolished and the artillery withdrawn to
the interior. Thc stronghold of thc Texans !
it San Autonio was the stone inclosure and
wildings of tue old Alamo mission on the
east hank of the San Antonio river and op?
posite the city. It was occupied by a force
Of 145 men nuder command of Lieut, Col
W. Ik Travis. Travis liad been sent to the
Alamo after its nlianrfonment under Hous?
ton's orders, by Governor Smith. The art il- j
lery had not been removed, and Travis set
to work to prepare for a defense against
Santa Anna'sarmy. He asked the govern?
ment for 500 regular troops, and sent word
to several outlying detachments to cometo
his aid. The Alamo was not a fortress, but
would answer the purpose very well if j
properly manned and supplied with provis- j
ions and ammunition. On the side toward j
the town and facing the enemy was a wall
thirty-three inches thick, and on the south, !
(be approach coming from the bridge, was
r. prison structure, a church, and a yard
wall. The entrance was on the south.
Sravis had fourteen cannon, and ptaced
them on the north, south and east. The
place was well supplied with water, but. pro?
visions were short.
On the approach of Santa Anna's army
thc Texan Guard in the city of San An
touio retired to the Alamo. The dictator
at once demauded the surrender of Travis'
command without terms. The answer to
the demand was a shot from the fort,
?nd Santa Anna opened a bombardment, at
the same time running up the red flag as a
token of his purpose. His cannonading
produced little damage, and thc next day,
Feb. 24, Travis sent out a messenger
to. arouse the people and his comrades
elsewhere to come to his support. Said he:
"I am besieged by a thousand or more of
the Mexicans under Santa Anna. I have
sustained a continued bombardment for
twenty-four hours, and have not lost a
man. The enemy have demanded n sur?
render at discretion; otherwise the garri?
son is to be put to the sword, if the {dace
!s taken. I have answered the summons
with a cannon shot, and our flag still
waves proudly from the walls. I shall
never surrender or retreat. Then I call on
you in the name of liberty, of patriotism,
and of everything dear to the American
character to come to- our aid with all des?
patch. The enemy are receiving re-enforce?
ments daily, and will no doubt increase to
three or four thousand in four or five days.
Though this call may be neglected, I am
determined to sustain myself as long as
possible, and die like a soldier who never
forgets what is due to his own honor and
that of his country. Victory or death!"
In a postscript he stated that he l>egan
thedefense with only three bushels of corn,
but had since gathered ninety bushels and
twenty or thirty beeves.
The following day Santa Anna crossed
the San Antonio with a battalion, and at?
tempted to plant a lottery in frotit of the
gate <>f the Alamo. Travis resisted .stoutly,
and though thc Mexicans were re-enforced
he drove, them off. during the night, how?
ever, they succeeded in getting two l?t
teries established under protection of some
houses. They also posted some cavalry

serve ns cover to the enemy. On the 2Sth
I he Mexicans planted a battery on the
uorth and wrre able to fire on the Alamo
from three sides.
On the morning of March I thirty-twc
men, led by Opt. John W. Smith, eutered
the Alamo from Gonzales, and they were
the last reserve within seventy miles of
San Antonio, while the intervening coun?
try was overrun with Mexican cavalry.
Travis was saving of ammunition, espe?
cially ofthat of his artillery. Every morn?
ing, at sunrise, and again at noon and at
night, he fired a signal gun to announce to
the people that the fort still held out. The
2d ami .'ki the attack increased in vigor, the
Texans lighting as well as they could. The
Mexicans finally erected a battery withiti
musket shot. Travis sent out the last mes?
senger that ever left the Alamo and notified
the government of his situation. I le said
that the blood red banners of Santa Anna
meant a war of vengeance against the rehels.
The same messenger carried letters to
Travis' friends. In one he said: "I have
held t his place ten days against a force vari?
ously estimated from U>00 to ?,000, and 1
?hali continue to hold it until I get relief
for my countrymen or I will perish io its
defense."
Gen. Houston was at the seat of govern?
ment when Travis' dispatch reached there
on March G. The convention of republi?
cans then in session proposed to adjourn
and march to the relief of Travis, but.
Houston, in a vehement speech, dissuaded
them. In the crisis then existing in Texa*
he thought that a government was the first
requisite, nn?l he himself would go to the
relief of the Alamo. Finishing his appeal
ami mounting his horse he set out with
four or live companions. They rode all
night, and the next morning, the 7t.li,
Houston put his ear to the ground to
catch, if possible, the sound of Travia' sig?
nal gun. For the first time in ninny days
the signal failed tp appear.
Meanwhile the drama at the Alamo had
slowly reached the Iragie climax. A coun?
cil of war in the .Mexican camps bad de?
clared for assault. Opinion was divider! as
to the time, soma favoring ?he tit h and
others of the generals the 7?h. Santa
Anna decided on the <>thf which was Sun?
day, and on the morning of that day the
Mexican infantry was foruml in front of
the walls of the Alamo. Ik-hind the in?
fantry a line of cavalry was stationed,
with orders to cut down the former should
they fail to press the assault. At daylight
the ladders were against the walls, and
scaling parties attempted to mount them,
but thc Texans bravely drove them 'jil. A
second attemnt m*'t the same fat?*. btu on
the third the presence of Saura Anna
among bis inen inspired them to unusual
valor, and many reached the top of the
wall. The first of them were cut down hy
the Texans, but others followed in such
overwhelming numbers that the defenders
could do no more than protect their own
persons. The place was soon filled with
Mexicans. The Texans, too closely pressed
to load and fire, clubbed their guns and
beat oflf their assailants, anti kept this up
until but a handful remained. If any cried
for quarter the appeal was unheeded.
The stone church building, located in
>ne corner, was used as a magazine, and it
bad been arranged among the defenders
lhat when all was lost some one should
fire the powder and destroy friend and foe.
Maj. Evans the ordnance officer, attempt?
ed to do this, but w? shot down. At last
there were only seven survivors of the
Texan fighting band. Among them was
Col. Bowie, the adventurer, whose name
has l>een handed down with the celebrated
weapon he declared was better than a pistol
in border struggles, the noiseless bowie
knife. Col. David Crockett was also among
them. Crockett and five companions sur?
rendered to the Mexican general leading
the assault, and were taken before Santa
Anna, who instantly ordered them dis?
patched. Crockett was stabbed several
times. Bowie was sick in bed in the hos?
pital, but he shot down several Mexicans
before he was killed. When the sun was
an hour high every man of the ?S8 who
took part in the defeuse lay dead. They

had made thc Mexicans pay dearly for their
victory, however. Throughout the siege
the rifles of these accomplished marksmen
had been busy, and from loopholes in the
wails of the buildings they had kept upa
steady fire upon the enemy. Daring the
assault they twice cleared the wall of the
assailants. According to Mexican accounts
521 of Santa Anna's men were killed and
about 1,000 were wounded. Thc bodies
of the Texans were horribly mutilated by
sword and lance, and then placed in a heap
and burned.
The victims of the Alamo were chiefly
Americans who had emigrated to Texas
under the Mexican colonization laws
which Santa Anna abrogated. The de?
voted bravery of Travis and Iiis heroic
band was not in vain. True the Alamo
had fallen, and the wai' was opened to.
Santa Anna to pour hi's battalions upon
Texas. But the news of the siege and of
the gallant cou duct of the intrepid handful
thrilled throughout the state. For days
the salutation on every tongue was, "What
of the Alamo?*' The governor, the gen?
erals the council, the volunteers, the reg?
ulars, friends in all the borders and out?
side, knew that in the name of American
liberty and of the independent state of
Texas l?u men were standing tip away out
on the border and hurling magnificent de?
fiance at the usurping monster who coolly
set aside ail laws of right and humanity,
and proscribed men for daring to assert,
their manhood. Travis' messages were
as bugle notes borne on willing winds.
From lip to lip, from ear to ear, they sped,
and before the terrible story of tho final
horror had been let loose to chill men's
hearts, their souls had been fired with the
"quenchable flame "of patriotism. "Fel?
low citizens," "compatriots," "country?
men" were the ringing terras used by
Travis in his appeals to the colonists, and
in a moment a little nation was born, for
every man who heard those appeals said,
**Aye!aye!". When the awful tragedy be?
came known all hearts stood still a second
as if to gather fresh accyss of anger heated
blood, and then there burst forth the cry,
"Remember the A tamo!" So the men of
a montent before were transformed into
heroes, and rushed forth to wipe out a stain
and to make a state. They did it, and
Travis and his martyrs were avenged.
When subsequent victories placed San
Antonio within the Texas lines a small
command of soldiers under Houston's or?
ders gathered the ashes of the gallant dead
and placed them in a neat coffin, whereon
were engraved the names of Travis, Bowie
and Crockett. The casket was t hen buried
with military honors. Some years later
thc event was marked by a monument
bearing the inscription, "Thermopylae had
its messenger of defeat; the Alamo bad
none." G BORGE L? KILMER.
An Important Fact. -
A writer in Science says that while* as
yet we have discovered no way of avoiding
contc^don which comes to us zn thc air, we
are just beginning to find ont the extreme?
ly important fact that thc air does not be?
come contaminated with bacteria unless
they are allowed to dry. Itecent investi?
gations, he adds, have shown a smaller
namljer of bacteria ta thc air of a well kept

A Simple Method of Removing a Needle.
I think it may be of service to record a
simple means by which I obtained the re?
moval of a broken needle from the heel of
a young girl, aged twelve, whom I saw
walking about on ber toes to avoid her
right heel, into which a needle bad been
broken, touching the ground. The buried
end could be felt, but any pressure led to
its further entry. I directed her to wear a
large thick corn plaster around the spot,
with a little wet cotton wool in the centre,
and to tread freely on the heel. Within a
week afterward Rite showed me the needle,
which had protruded, and she had easily
withdrawn it. Thus no wound was made,
and no scar left to be a tender spot on the
plantar surface.-Chas. Steele, M. D.

South Carolina's Trout
Corner.
[Frora the New York Sun.]
Right up io the western coroer of
Sooth Carolina ta perhaps the best troot
fishing region within the same distance
from New York. How it came to be so
is most interesting. There are the foot?
hills and some of the mountains of the
Blue Ridge, or at least, of a spar of
that cbaio. The streams never had any
troot or fish of aoy sort in them. Yet
on tho other side of the mountains al]
the waters were richly stocked. Doe
year, not so long ago, Gen. Wade
Hampton, who bad summered there
from boyhood, took a barrel in a wagon
and went over the mountains to get as
many troot as he could. He came back
with plenty, and whenever be crossed a
stream on the east side of the range be
threw a handful of young trout in and
passed along. Like Bre'r Fox, he said
oothing to nobody. In a year or two
he went again and fished surreptitiously
in the waters that were supposed never
to have known a fish. He caught plen?
ty. The next year the sparse popula?
tion discovered their existence. Now
the streams abound with splendid trout.
