The Pittsbubh Magnet is severe
n|M>n the failure of tbe State Legislature
to do what was expected ot it. Sometimes
the Press condemns the Legislature pre-
maturely, but we acknowledge that we
are becoming fearful of short performance,
in measures whose importance is great,
but we shall not anticipate evil.
What has become of Judge Terrell's
railway commission bill? As it was a
bill investing its agents with very mod-
erate power, perhaps the railroad lobby
might permit it to pass—that is if the
aforesaid lobby will graciously permit
anything to pass, not of their own pre-
paration.
Acciulttecl,
The
. and M. College.
w e see that the legislature is making
some rational appropriations for this
State College, but we do not note any
appropriation for another dormitory.
As now managed the State supports
gratuitously nearly half the students.
Col. James has informed the legislature
that there are many pay students desir-
ing admission, but he has no room for
them. Unless it is especially desired to
restrict the number of students and pre-
vent the institution from becoming self-
supporting, why is not an appropriation
made for one large brick dormitory im-
mediately. Two are needed, to furnish
sleeping and study rooms, for 100 pu-
pils each, but one may do as a begin-
ning. It is time that this way of doing
everything needful by halves or less,
had ceased, when the State has ample
means. Cannot the legislature rise to a
conception of doing public acts upon a
scale commensurate with our capacity,
or must it be ever niggardly, as an ev-
idence of a groveling tendency of a por-
tion of its members? The people of
Texas, as a whole, are not cast in that
mould. The people of Texas, from its
earliest history, when acting in their
own behalf, uncurbed, always struck
out nobly. Cannot their represetatives
get themselves jacked up to a level with
the platform of the people.
Art for Use.

Mr. C. E. Dixon, Sheriff of Miller comi-
ty, Arkansas, who shot Johnson in
the court room a few days ago, was
promptly tried and acquitted. It was
Htated by several witnesses that Johnson I *'ors and more, the world refines. A

of everyday use show that our people are
refining, and that it is conceived profita-
ble to call iu art and the sense ot beauty
to illustrate the most common subjects of
everyday busy life. It certainly was an
agreeable change, when the old style Al-
maoac that our fathers knew, with its as-
tronomical calculations, its Joe. Miller

for making pumpkin pie, and excluding
vrater from boots by rosin, beeswax and
tallow, becomes an elegant annual, which
one may pick up and look at again and
again, with a refreshment ot the sense ot
the beautiful—that beautiful which ac-
companies refinement and cannot be too
much cultivated.
before, public^ declared that he intended
to kill Dixon, on account ot some official
action of Dixon's. It was showu that he
had placarded Dixon as a thief and a
coward, had defamed Dixsoifs wife, and
that when they met, Johnson who always
weut, armed put his hand toward his hip
pocket, as if about to draw. Ii was clear
that Dixon either had to kill or be killed.
He was acquitted without delay. John
son belonged to a family, nearly all the
male members of which had fallen iu per.
sonal combat. He was from Mississippi—
bad no family.
Leel^lat ion.
It seems clear that the railroad inter-
ests predominate in the Legislature, and
that the people of Texas are in the mi-
nority with the assembled wisdom of the
State. It seems clear that the peniten-
tiary contractors can over-reach the in-
terests of the people, and the claims of
humanity, and the interests of the State
which might be served,byjthe develpment
of the iron, steel a ud textile capacities of
the State. This is all wrong, but the
Iteople having trusted these men to
whom is awarded the power of Legisla-
tion, can recover their deposit after two
years, and change tbe aspect ot public af-
fairs wonderfully. The people ot Texas,
like the whole people ot the Union, aie
beginning to learn, that duty to them-
selves absolutely requires a vigilant su-
pervision, and that this involves frequent
changes of public agents. Power inva-
riably, by natural action, steals from the
many to the few: there is but one coun-
tervailing power effective to restore the
true balance, and this is "eternal vig
ilance"' followed l>y prompt restorative
action. Perhaps by the time another bi-
eunial election recurs, the people will
have learned that there are other States
than Pennsylvania and New Jersey, con-
trolled by railway (lower.
Washington, March 8.—"Mr. Ran-
dall is under the impression that the tar-
iff question will not bo agitated at tbe
next session ot Cuugress. He also has
an impression that the settlement of the
tariff question for tbe time being is large-
ly in bis favor, as a candidate fot Speak-
er of the next House. Iii his conversa-
tions witb members of the next Rouse,
he shrewdly conveys this view of the sit-
uation. In this. quiet way he is energet
ically pushiug his canvas lor Speaker-
ship."
Mr. Randall is e.gregioiisly mistakeu.
There is to be no more carrying ot water
on both shoulder*,. in this matter. The tar
iff question is tho question of the hour,
anil for all the future, until it is satisfac-
torily settled to suit the interests of the
masses ot the people. Mr. K.uulall is at
heart a good Democrat, hampered by tbe
prevailing interests in his locality. Mr.
Raudall will make an excellent chairman
ot the committee on appropi iations, he
cannot be Speaker. This position must
be given to a western man. The West
and South have a largo interest in this
iioveriiment, and they are about to as-
sert it vigorously, anil in doing so. will
iu a large measure disregard party
lines. Carlisle is evidently the fit man,
though if Rauilall'K locality and restrict-
ive surroundings were not against him
no man could nsoie efficiently act as
Speaker. But tbe Democratic party can
not afford to abase itselt to preserve lo-
Tbe Treaty with Mexico.
We think it was a great diplomatic
mistake that the Senate did not ap-
prove the treatv with Mexico before its
adjournment. The reciprocal advantages
to the people ot the United States prom
ised by the treaty are very great. The
cause stated—a fear that Mexican sugar
might interfere with Louisiana sugar pro-
duction, is puerile. Mexico does not pro-
duce sngar lor its own nse, and it must
be a great many years before it can af
feet the sngar market of the Uuited
States. If, however, it could make its
sugar production seriously affect the mar-
ket ot the Western States in twelve
mouths, this would be no set off to the
advantages our manufacturers and wheat
producers are to realize from the privi.
leges given us. These are so great that
we cannot nuderstand how tbe Senate
failed to appreciate them, and grasp tbe
opportunity. The production of sugar
iu Louisiana will do well enough for
years to come; but it it were otherwise
the whole people of tbe United States
cannot for auy reason that can be named,
be any more properly sacrificed to nurse
the sugar interest of Louisiana, thau it
can to nurse the iron interests of Penn-
sylvania and Ohio, or the coal interests
of Pennsylvania or Western Virginia.
Let every tub stand on its own bottom.

Washington, Mar. 8.—A model ot tbe
proposed postal note is about as large as
a greenback. At the right hand are two
columns, giving the months of the year
and the date of 12 years, beginning with
the prestnt. At the left hand are three
columus of figures, one representing dol-
lars, is numbered np to four; tbe second,
representing dimes, is numbered np to
niue; the third, representing eents, is also
numbered up to nine, and each series ends
with a cipher. The note is tor 8Gms less
than $5.
The postmaster at the office issuing tbe
uote will puuch the mouth and year, the
uumber of dimes, dollars and cents iu
their respective columns, thus preventing
any alteration of the amount or date. By
tbis system the postal notes can be issued
tor any sum from 1 cent up to $4 99. No
writteu application will be necessary.
Tbe note will be bought like a postage
stamp, and will be payable to bearer at
any time within three months from the
last day of the month in which it is issued.
The body is iu form, stating the office,
where it is issued, and tbe office to which
it is sent. When paid, the person obtain-
ing payment puts his signature upon tbe
note.
Washington, March 8.—Ex-Prcsi-
dent of the Senate Davis is receiving
quite a number of presents from em-
ployes of the Senate, with whom he ap-
pears to have been very popular. To-
day the employes of the Sergeant-at-
Arms' office gave him an immense sil-
ver punch bowl. He leaves here, to-
morrow or next day, for Asheville, N.
C., where he is to be married, next
Monday, to Miss Annie Burr.
Washington, March 8.—It has leak-
ed out that otephen W. Dorsey gave
Judge Lilly a pounding a day or two
ago. It seems that Lilly, in company
with George F. Brott, well known in
New Orleans, called on Dorsey at his
residence on K street, on some matter
of business. Dorsey met them in the
parlor, and after a few minutes' con-
versation accused Lilly of having in-
duced Rerdell to become a witness for
the government. Blows foliowed and
Lilly, who is an old man, would, it is
said, have been pretty badly whipped if
Brott had not interfered and separated
the combatants.
Nashville, March 8.—At an early
lour this morning the firemen commenc-
ed to remove the debris of last night's
fire, the work beginning in Foley's ma-
chine shop, as it was supposed Wm. Mil-
ler had been killed by a falling wall at
this place. This supposition proved
true, as his body was found under the
ruins in the rear of the building.
Further search revealed the bodies of
two other men who had been killed by
the same wall near the spot where Mil-
ler's body was discovered. Thomas
Wormuth, a moulder, was found, the
lower part of his body being covered by
brick, Ilis face was slightly burned ;
his arms, however, were burned to a
crisp. Judging from his appearance,he
must have, suffered fearfully, as it is be-
lieved he was slowly burned to death
while thus fastened. The other body-
was that of John Frith, a mail carrier,
who was just bey ond Wormuth. His
remains were horribly disfigured and
were only identified by some articles on
his person.
After the remains of the men were
removed Deputy Coroner Adams held
an inquest and the remains were convey-
ed to the undertaking establishment and
prepared for the grave.
Three were married and each leaves
several children. Neither Mr. Litterer nor
any- af his employes can surmise the or-
igin of the fire, and indeed it is quite a
mystery, as it was strictly forbidden
for any one to take a light in the cellar
and so far all have obeyed this rule.
Various ideas are advanced as to the
cause. A gentleman who was on one of
the steamers at the wharf said that a few
minutes before the alarm of fire \va*
given he saw two men standing on the
wharf near the rear of the Litterers.
He saw them throw something into the
ellar through the grating and imniedi-
c o ~
ately an immense blaze burst forth.
The men then ran up Front street and
disappeared in the darkness,
McKinney, March 9.—[Special.]—
Mrs. Hugh Nelson, of this county, about
nine miles east ot McKinney, while
standing by a hot stove late yesterday
evening caught fire and her clothes were
completely burned off of her before any
assistance reached her. The skin of the
poor lady was charred from head to foot.
l)r. J. E. Gibson of McKinney was sent
for and did all that could be done to al-
leviate the pain of the suffering lady, but
she died this morning.
Staunton, Va., March 9.—The mar-
riage of ex-Gov. William Sprague ot
Rhode Island, in this place last night, has
been the subject of much comment. The
bride, Mrs. Dora Inez Calvert, is 21 years
old, tall, and decidedly pretty. She has
lived in Greenbrier county, West Virgin-
ia, for some years past, and her husband,
from whom she was divorced a short time
ago, was a drummer. She is a native of
Connecticut, and her father, it is said
was a cobbler in one of the small towns
of that State. This is about all that is
known about her. The whole affair is
wrapped iu mystery. No one knows any-
thing about her, nor is it known where
the ex-Governor met her.

rived at the spot only in time to rescue
six persons, who were struggling in tbe

Maunail, who tor three-quarters of an

says that the Navarre's pumps were found
to be useless. All ou board baled the

Owing to a heavy gale the tide in the
Clyde is remarkably low. The steamers
Devouia, Circassia, Manitoban and sev-
eral others were at one time aground.
The Hull fishing fleet has suffered seri-
ously by the gale. Eighty vessels of the
fleet have arrived there iu a damaged
condition. Twelve of them lost members
ot their crews. Three vessels foundered,
one of them with all bands. Similar ac-
counts have been received from the Yar-
mouth fishing fleet.
Deadwood, Dak., March 11.—Hood
& Scott's lodging-shell at the Browns-
ville wood-camp, a terminus ot the
Black Hills and Fort Pierre Railroad,
was burned last night. James Chal-
mers, Thomas Finless, R. C. Wright,
Lewis Hanson, Peter Hanson, A. Ten-
necliff, Harvy Wood, W. H. Andrews,
Charles Haminonton, Fred T. Peters
and Samuel Hayes were burned to death
and four others, whose names have not
been learned, were seriously injured,
the origin of the tire is not known.
The building was one story high, with
a loft where the men slept accessible by-
ladder. It was usually occupied by
thirty lodgers, but last night only fifteen
were in the house. There was one win-
dow in the loft, but only four men, bad-
ly burned, were saved by jumping from !
it. It will be necessary to amputate the j
legs of two of these, The fire is sup- j
posed to have originated from kindling j
wood left near the stove on which coals i
fell. Peters slept on the ground floor ■
within five feet of the door, but the
flames spread so rapidly that he could
not escape. The bodies of the eleven
victims were charred beyond recogni-

Mexia, March 12.—Capt. W. J. Fish-
burn, editor ot the Mexia Ledger, died
very suddenly this morning about live
o'clock. He has been in feeble health for
some time, but was able to be on the
streets. He retired last night apparently
in his usual health. He will be buried
to morrow with Masonic ceremonies. He
was a useful and progressive citizen and
the community will teel his loss greatly.
London, Ohio, March 11 —John G. Tra-
vy, yesterday murdered his brother-in-
law, David Gillenwater, by cutting his
throat with an axe. Travy, with his wife
and two children, had come from Logan,
Illinois, to visit Gillenwater. Tiie two
men went into the woods late yesterday
afternoon to cut wood, and they got into
a trifling dispute, which ended in murder.
St. Louis, Mar. 12.—Catherine Edwards
a young lady of eighteen years, living at
Caseyville, St. Clair county, -Ills., some
ten miles from St. Louis, was shot aud
killed last Saturday evening by John Ja-
cobs, an intimate friend, who thought
to frighten aud have some fun with her
by pointing a shot-guti and snapping a
cap at her. The gun,however, to Jacobs'
surprise and horror, proved to be loaded
and the young lady received the charge
of shot in the left breast and died almost
instantly. Jacobs surrendered himself
anil is almost crazy over the event.
Ottawa, March 12.—Professor Wig-
gins claims his prophesy literally fulfilled,
as the highest tidal wave ever known was
reported at Halifax, and telegrams from
ill parts indicate a severe tempest. He
says he has always .'entertained the
greatest anxiety for the safety of the
people along the shote of the Bay ot Ben-
gal and the Gulf ot Mexico. In the former
the major tidal wave, of which the minor
one on onr coast was the reflection, must
have occurred on the afternoon of the
10th, Loudon time, hundreds of thonsauds
ot lives perishing.
Houston, March 13,—The narrow
end ol Wiggins' storm struck Corpus
Christi, Indianola and other points along
the coast at ten o'clock this forenoon
with high wind and heavy rain, during
which time the natives werepretty bad-
ly frightened and telegraphic communi-
cation was cut off. In the afternoon
the storm subsided and the wires re-
ported all right again, In Houston
from twelve to four o'clock the rain
fell in torrents with occasional violent
gusts of wind. No harm done as far as
heard from.
Atlanta, Ga., March 14.—Last
night Col. John K. Cander of the gov-
ernor's staff.iu attempting to jump from
a railway train was run over and both
legs cut off and severe wounds inflicted
the upsetting of a house twelve miles
sonth, iu which were six adults, and four
children. The latter were drowned and
the former rescued by a party ot hunters
who took them oft the roof after they
had cluug there three days. The St.
Francis swamp contains buuilreds of
horses, mules and cattle standing up to
their throats in water, their owueis be-
ing unable to rescue them. Many car-
casses are floating about. A legislative
committee is examining into the condi-
tion of the )>eople in the overflowed dis-
trict, and will report iu tavor of giving
State aid to actual sufferers.

A Remarkable Circular Saw Accident.
The premises at Nos. 9,11, aud 13 York
Street, New York, are used for an exten-
sive packing box factory, conducted by-
George Blair. About forty meii are em-
ployed there. Iu the rear of No. 13 is a
long, low shed, which covers a portion of
the machinery* Directly uuder a skylight
iu the centre ot the tiled is a table used
for ''ripping" planks. A circular saw pro-
jects above the centre of the table about
six inches. Oil the afternoon ot Februa-
ry 2tith, Caroliue Beruheimer, a washer
woman, had been hanging out clothes to
dry ou a line that was stretched on the
shed root. Shortly after 5 p. m., a work
man, who was engaged at the "lipping"
table, heard a souud of crashing glass,and
the body of the unfortunate washerwo-
man was precipitated through the sky-
light. She fell squarely across the jagged
teeth of the saw, which was whirling at
its full speed. The poor woman had evi-
dently stumbled aud lost her balance,
aud she did uot utter a souud whea she
fell. Death came instantaneously. The
horrified workman stopped the machinery,
aud tbeu lilted the bleeding corpse from
the saw. Some of the workmen ran for
a physician, and Dr. Gulick, who lives a
tew doors away in Beech Street, hastily-
responded. The saw had buiied itself in-
to the victim's back, severing the spinal
cord and cutting her her heart iu twain.
Mrs. Beruheimer was thirty-five years
old. She was a widow, with one daugher
aud lived at No. 338 Hudson Street.—

London, March 9. —The steamer Na
varre, bound from Copenhagen to 1/eitli,
foundered during yesterday's gale. Thero
were eighty one persons, mostly eiui

were saved—six seamen and ten passen-
gers. Six of the passengers had intend-
ed to embark tor America by the Anchor
line, and thirty-three adults and ten in-
fants by the State line. Altogether six
of ttie crew and ten passengers were sav-

sufftrers on the Ohio river, south of
Evansville, returned Saturday. They
report great suffering and sickness at
nearly all towns. At New Franklin, In
iliaua, a village of 120 inhabitants, thirty
were destitute, tilteen sick aud two
deaths. The disease was pneumonia.
Uniontown, Xv., March 11.—In a
population of 1,300 nearly everybody
suffered. Fifty are destitute. _
In Shawneetown, Illinois, 1,500 people
are destitute, depending upon the public
tor provisions and mediciues. One huu-
dred and twentv-five are sick, twenty-
four have died ot pneumonia, catarrhal
fever anil dysentery. The latter disease
has almost reached an epidemic. Also
one hundied anil twenty-five houses have
been swept awav or damaged. At least
seven hundred persons are liable to dis-
eases. At Caseyville Illinois no relief
had been furnished. There were forty-
five cases of sickness, mostly typhoid le-
ver. One hundred houses had been un-
der water, half of them ruined. The

St, Loyis, March 11.—A dispatch
from Helena says tirst loss ot human lite
by the flood in this region occurred by-
There were two notable funerals iu the
city to-ilay. Both were well attended.
By request of the rough element one took
place from the late home in Twenty-niuth
street,aud was that of the strangled young
murderer, Michael Mctiloin. When liv-
ing he was looked after by the police aud
dead they still followed him. The cortege
attracted an immense throng who follow-
ed it. until the little mouud in Calvary-
Cemetery marked the last resting place.
The other was in the most miserably se-
cluded parts of Canal street close to Wal-
ker and from a wretched tumble down
rookery. Early in the day the hardened
bowery rough aud his equally hardened
gaily bedecked female companion began
to gather there iu numbers. They throng-
ed the little square on which the house
where the dead man lay tronted and the
constant tbeiue ot conversation was "poor
Ji'umy Elliott.'' Ou the second floor lay
the body ot the dead pugilist in a cloth
covered, oaken casket, surrouuded with
flowers. Over it hung the mourning
trimmings that hung over the body of
Cornelius J. Vauderbitt when that scion
: of the millionaire lay dead in a fashioua-
| b!e hotel in FiftU avenue. At 1:30,thirty
! six men, pall bearers, wearing high hats,
| white regalias aud mourning badges, en-
tered the room. Among them were Jack
Styles, Elliott': friend aud backer, Char-
lie Johnson, Jimmie McOlcun, ex-Alder-
iiia.ii Jinttnie Duuii, Bed Leary, Spang
Draper, Chief Magin, ot the Philadelphia
police, aud Matt Grace. They lifted the
casket aud carried it to the street. A
i uumber ot small boys began to cheer, but
' they were quickly hushed and tbe cotlin
quietly borne to the hear.se. Then the
order of the procession wa taken up.
Following the hearse came the pall bear-
ers and about one thousand meu anil
boys; following were about one hundred
aud fifty coaches. At Seveuth street ter-
ry, Wiliitiinburgh lour ferry boats made
two trips each to transfer the crowd. Af
ter the usual Catholic service at Calvary
cemetery, Jimmie Elliott was placed in
his last home and the crowd found its
way back to the city. lit the proci ssion

Gen. Grant's Wedding.
"I remember Grant's wedding well,'*
said Mr. Darby. '-Old man Dent met me
on Third street anil asked me to come
around, as Julia was going to be mar-
ried to a fellow named Grant; so when I
got home I asked my wife if she wanted
to go to a wedding.''
"Whose ?' said she.
"Julia Dent's,"' said I, "she's going to
marry a mau uamed Grant,''
"I s'pose we might as well go,'' says
she.
"It wasn't much of a wedding. A
Methodost minister performed the cere-
mony."
"Did they have a wedding tour V ask-
ed the reporter.
"Well, no, they didn't have any money,
and the walking in those days wasn't
; very good, so they just stayed at home.''
| "Where was the Dent residence f'
■ "Comer of Fourth and Cerre streets."
i "The way ot it was," continued Mr.
I Darby, "youug Lewis Dent went to West
| Point as a cadet. He there became ac-
1 quaiuteil with Grant aud ou one of his
! vacations brought tbe future president
home to make a visit. He thus became
] acquainted with Julia, anil tlies weie
i shortly afterward married."—[Chicago

Remedy for Erysipelas.
At the recent- congress of Germ itu sur-
geons, Dr. Fisher, ot Stnisburg, drew at-
tention to rh>* value ot naphtaliue ;-s an
antiseptic. For some skin diseases, aud
especially in the treatment of erysipelas
it is aliuosr specific. The application is
made iu the most simple manner possible,
byrubbiti^ gauze iu the powdered material,
or dipping any suitable fabric in au ethe-
real solution diluted with alcohol. Naph-
thaline being very cheap, this pupa ra-
tion will be less expensive than anything
of the kind now in the market. It is ex-
tensively used ia Strasburg, w here it is
regarded as a perfect preventative of ery-
sipelas.—[Scientific Atnerie in.
