Kussia lias “ a strong govern-
ment,but its ruler deems it neces-
sary to wear “ a shirt of strong
chain mail.”
The greatest boon Jefferson
Davis could confer on the South
and Democratic party would be to
keep his mouth shut.
Having surveyed the field from
its independent standpoint, the
Chicago Times has arrived at the
conclusion that “ the cock of the
Democratic walk appears to be
Hancock.”
The papers are publishing the
fact that Governor Roberts had a
majority of 79,890 over both Ham-
man and Norton at the last elec-
tion. What man has done he can-
not always do again.
The Houston Evening News is
disposed to complain of its con-
temporaries for stealing its thun-
der. No one of them yet has
sought to rob it of the credit of
nominating Dick Hubbaid for
vice-president in 1880.
The Denison Herald published
an anniversary edition last Tues-
day, the Infant Wonder having
reached its seventh year. Like
everything the Herald undertakes
it was well done, and shows a
marvelous progress in seven years.
As a general thing the daughters
of farmers make good wives.
From childhood they help about
the house, and frequently take
sole charge of the house keeping
in the temporary absence of the
mother. Thus they learn the du-
ties and responsibilities of house
keeping before entering upon it
for themselves. Even if they at-
tend school'regularly, the vaca-
tions give them a chance for learn-
ing the more practical duties of
life.
No scene so solemn has oc-
curred hitherto in an American
legislative assembly as that in the
Georgia senate, when Comptroller
Washington Goldsmith was strip-
ped of his citizenship. The speech-
making ran on until after sundown
and at the final voto twilight had
crept into the chamber. Young
Goldsmith sat in faultless attire
near the chair of Chief Justice
Warner. A red rosebud had beeu
placed by a sister in the lapel of
his coat. He was deathly pale,
but self-possessed, the only hint
at nervousness being noticeable
when he ran his white fingers
through his hair. His father, a
gray-haired old man, sat near him,
quite sorrowful, but devoted.
When the roll-calling began the
comptroller began to mark the
‘‘yeas” and “nays” in a memoran-
dum-book, but the “yeas” fell one
after another, unrelieved of nega-
tives, so rapidly that he leaned
back in his chair and dropped his
head on his breast.
coat of mail of Ivanhoe. Coke is
going forth next month to exhibit
his gigantic intellectual muscles,
and show what massive, brawny
arms and titanic stength can ac-
complish. In fact, the struggle of
1880 begins in 1879. Wash Jones
blew the blast that roused sleep-
ing eloquence and stirred and
fired the soul of Texas oratory.”
It is an open question whether
or not there is a bargain between
Cornell and Kelly. The New York
World, however, distinctly charges
such a bargain and alleges that
the terms of Tammany’s capitula-
tion to Cornell are the following,
arranged over sundry bottles of
Delbeck dry, at Delmonico’s:
“ First, Mr. Kelley to bind himself
to stay in the field, and to receive
toward expenses from the Repub-
lican campaign fund $25,000;
second, Mr. Cornell when elected
is never to approve or disapprove
of any city bill to which Mr. Kelly
shall make objection; third, Mr.
Cornell’s friends to put in nomina-
tion a straight county ticket for
the approaching election, and to
forbid any fusion—such as, for ex-
ample, Sheridan Shook for sheriff
and Hubert O. Thompson for coun-
ty clerk. Mr. Kearney was under-
stood to make the following addi-
tion : Fourth, all Republican
aldermen who are elected for 1880
to be pledged not to confirm any
successor to Mr. Kelly as comp-
troller whom Mayor Cooper may
name in the autumn of that year;
and those aldermen to so act with
Tammany aldermen as to allow
Mr. Kelley to hold over through-
out Mr. Cornell’s term; provided
that in the autumn ot 1880 Mr.
Kelly should not become a candi-
date for Mayor. Then if he were
such a candidate, a straight Re-
publican county and city ticket to
be again run in 1880.”
The Austin Statesman says
“ Gen. Maxey’s speech at Paris
has carved out for him a deep
groove in the affections and confi-
dence of his party in Texas.
Throckmorton is making brilliant
and effective speeches in North
Texas. Hubbard is building the
narrow gauge from Texarkana to
Waco, and thus serving the state
most effectively and gathering in
for him a few nickles. Mills is
making the best speeches, we sup-
pose, ever delivered in Ohio.

THE CORN CROP.
A representative of the Demo-
crat interviewed a number of far-
mers from Tarrant and adjoining
counties yesterday, and they all
agreed that the product of this
grain this year would fall far short
of supplying the demands of home
consumption. In Wise county
especially the outlook is discour-
aging. Few farmers have raised
corn enough for home use, others
have raised perhaps half a corp,
while others have raised scarcely
any. This condition of things ex-
ists to a great extent, throughout
the entire country west of Fort
Worth, and the supposition is that
the farmers of that section will
come to this terminus to buy corn.
Many farmers who have a small
lot of corn to sell are inclined to
hold it back for better prices—
say double what is now offered for
it—55 cents per bushel being the
price offered here yesterday.
Now, let us look into this matter.
“Kansas and Missouri have the
largest corn crop they have ever
made, and will have millions of
bushels to ship from home. Corn
is now selling in both of those
states at 15 cents a bushel, de-
livered on the railroad. And as
the corn growing states cast of
them have also an abundant crop,
the price is likely to decline rather
than advance.” The freight on
corn from Kansas to Fort Worth
by the carload is not more than 25
cents.per bushel. This added to
the cost there places it here at 40
cents per bushel. Add 15 cents
for waste and commission and we
have corn in this market for 55
cents per bushel. “ And with sharp
competition in the business five
cents of that can be taken off,
when hundred bushel lots are
ordered.
“ With this condition of things
existing, would it not be wise for
our farmers to sell now, before the
shipping of Kansas corn com-
mences. It is pretty certain that
city buyers will give the Northern
corn the preference, for Texas
corn this year is generally light,
poorly filled and badly worm-
eaten.”
While we would desire to see
the farmer realize eVery cent pos-
sible on his produce, under this
condition of things we fear that
those who hold back will be dis-
appointed in their anticipations of
better figures. We leave it with
them for their consideration,
preferring that they should weigh
all the facts and follow their best
judgment in the matter.

Democracy in Texas.
Houston Telegram.
A platform of principles is now
only made to be dishonered;
leading and prominent plank is
put into it only to be dropped out
as soon as the success of the tic-
ket has been announced. Should
this specious and dishonest policy
much longer obtain with the De-
mocracy, we tell our leaders plain-
ly the masses will desert. Men
are content to follow only so long
as their leaders are pre-eminent
for ability, purity and devotion to
pronounced and accepted princi-
ples. But when they have medio-
crity palmed upon them for ability
lecherous debauchery for purity,
and treacherous and covert de-
struction of the public school pro-
vision, as an earnest and deter-
mined offort to firmly fix and per-
manently provide for public free
education, they revolt.

A disintegration of the Demo-
cratic party in Texas is not to be
anticipated. Its strength, numeri-
cally considered, may and will be
diminished without doubt, but the
party will hold together. It will
simply shake off the barnacles,
adapt itself to the times, and pre-
pare in future, to give the people,
as it promises, bread instead of
stones.
Wheat.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Sept. 25th.
The wheat bulls “ bit off more
than they could chew ” in their
raid on the market. Yesterday
the bears got control for a time,
and a big break in prices, amount-
ing to 8 cents in St. Louis and
cents in Chicago, was the result.
What will happen to-day is, of
course, a mystery, but a further
decline need surprise no one. In-
deed, nothing that may happen in
the wheat market ought to sur-
prise anybody familiar with the
fluctuations of the past three
months. The late rise of 2\ cents
a bushel, in the lace of the enor
mous new crop, is unprecedented
at this season. How great the im-
mediate decline may be no one can
tell. But even should there a
sharp reaction from the high
prices realized on Monday and
Tuesday, there is good reason to
believe that it will be only tempo-
rary. The great foreign demand
will insure a higher range ot prices
for wheat this year than last.

A MOUNTAIN OF ICE.
The Wonder of Nature Which
Maybe Seen in West Virginia.
—There are 125,000 J ews in the
United States, and not a single
pauper among them. Every He-
brew who is able to work finds
something for his or her hands to
do, while the sick and infirm are
abundantly cared for by the local
societies. A Jew is never per-
mitted to seek assistance in sick-
ness from any denomination or
charity outside of his own faith.
Disintegration.
Houston Evening News.
Our next president will be a
Democrat, or a Republican, that
depends upon what promises cau
be extended to the disaffected ele-
ment, but from the date of his in-
auguration and onward there will
be a total reconstruction of par-
ties, upon the ground that old is-
sues are squared and new agencies
have arisen, which require a new
departure in politics.
Wheeling Register.
The ice mountain in Preston
county, West Virginia, is a great
natural curiosity. We went to
Rowclsburg, then by team three
miles up Cheat river past Vicks-
burg, and came out upon the north-
western pike. Following it two
miles west we came to the ice
mountain* situated on the right
bank of Flag Run, one-lialf mile
from the pike. A pic-nic parly
was being held at the base of the
mountain. After refreshing our-
selves with a very cold drink of
water from tho Twin Springs, we
ascended the side of the mountain
for some distance and arrived at
the ice field..
It is claimed: that the ice moun-
tain was ityered by some
soldiers in'!* spring of 1861. Its
discovery wu,, afterwards reported
again ; but persons supposed the
discovery was only trying to hoax
some into making a fruitless trip to
the mountain. No credence was
given to the story until lately,
when responsible parties visited
the locality. On the north side of
the mountain, about quarter of an
acre is covered with a mass of
loose, unstratified rock, none of
which are of any considerable size
All was covered with a heavy
mass of moss, which now is all
torn off. No trees grow upon
it, only here and there a few small
bushes. Removing the loose rock
ice is discovered in small quanti-
ties. A thermometer stood 90 de-
grees in the sun, 80 degrees in the
shade, and 48 degrees when placed
in the rocks on the ice in their
crevices. A cold air is present in
the crevices, but no strong freez
ing currents, as reported. Hund-
reds, visit it. The rocks are torn
up and tbe ice is only obtained now
by going down some little depth in
the rocks.
We suppose from observation
that the mountain is mostly a vast
heap of rock, a portion of whose
west side is more broken and loose
than the rest. The porous nature
of this portion would admit
through its moss covering a con-
siderable amount of water, which,
in filtrating between the stone
would form ice in just the manner
we find it. The ice thus formed
would be protected from all exter-
nal temperature by the nou-con-
dueting properties of the vast sur-
rounding mass of rock. The ice
mountain, we would suppose, is
nothing but a huge natural stone
refrigerator.
The common refrigerator de-
pends for its preservation of the
ice upon the good non-conductive
materials of its side. So the ice-
mountain naturally, but wonder
fully, preserves permanently its
ice by the vast mass of rock—good
non-conductive material—which
forms its sides.
An ice mountain similiar in many
respect to this one is in Hamp-
shire county, on North river, a few
miles east of Romney. Divesting
tho Preston county ice mountain
of its marvelous character that ex-
aggerated accounts have given it,
it stands a wonderful but plainly
possible result of natural laws.

A Dead Beat.
Fairfield Recorder.
Willitfm Bland, the picture-copy-
ing man who was here for some
time, bade our town good-bye last
Monday week, leaving several per-
sons to remember his rascality in
unpaid debts. But the fraud was
not destined to laugh with impun-
ity at all of liis dupes. He had
swindled Charley Baynum, the
young man who drives the Mexia
and Fairfield mail hack, out of
about $10. Baynum, seeing Bland
in Mexia the day after he left here
proceeded to give him a sound
thrashing, which was administered
in a fitting manner. A large crowd
of spectators looked on approving-
ly ; and when Bland got loose, he
ran like a “ scared canine.” Anxi-
ous then to get away from such
hot place as Mexia, he left the
same evening on the first train go-
ing north. Bland is a cunning,
oily-tongued dead-beat, and is one
whose exterior is well calculated
to deceive.
In justice to their readers, we
trust our exchanges will copy the
following description of the rascal
Said Bland is 30 or 35 years old;
about 5 feet 6 inches high ; weighs
about 180 pounds ; light mustache;
blue eyes, and a kind of a whine to
his voice. He lived in Waxahachie
and Ennis a year or two ago. Let
the papers pass him around.

Two Kinds.
New York Sun.
One of two things is meant
when a man is spoken of as a can-
didate for president. He may be
spoken of as such because he is
known to be striving with all his
might to obtain the office at the
hands of his fellow citizens. Or
he may be spoken of as a candi-
date tor president because his fel-
low'* citizens, or some of them, be-
lieve that he would make a good
run, if persuaded to accept the
nomination, and a good president,
if elected. There is all the differ-
ence in the world between the two
sorts of candidates. Specimens
of both will readily occur to tbe
mind.
