The loss by the Cre at the Avenue Hotel
was nominal and covered by insurance.
The residence of Col. Peeler caught lire
about 2:!10 o'clock and the building
was badly injured tho loss amounting
to ab-mt 10U0. We did not learn the
amount of insurance. It was about

A private letter to a gentleman of
this city gives the account of a terrible
tragedy in Brazoria county. On last
Thursday night about 11 o'clock a par-
ty of men numbering some fifteen or
twenty railed at the house of a negro
named Banke about three or four
miles below tho town of B szoria. The
negro was suspected of stealing cattle.
There were several women and men in
the honfo with Banke. The men de-
nianded admittance but were refused
-when thty discharged their weapons
into the building and then broke down
thedoojC- they entered the. house
"STTegro jumped out and tried to make
bit escape but was caught. The ne-
trrn tntuurmiAnttw rniilM hi ftarw ttnt
vsa fired at and wounded in several
lice. The assault on the cab-
t was renewed and the parties
icceeded in entering the house. As
xUej did so one of the negroes fired
upon them killing Morris Bates in-
stantly and wounding Calvin McNeil
and two other men of the party. The
negroes fled and made their escape.
The shcrill and a posse of men left for
the scene as soon as they received tho
fcewt of the tragedy and succeeded in
trailing the fugitives arrested them

When Gre bells ring at the dead hour
of night the city has several good fel-
lows employed -to assist the fire alarm
lu-lL Their duty consists. in rushing
madly into the Avenue and discharg-
ing Colt's repealers. It is pleasant.
Fire bells at night have a wonderful
nerve-soothing tendency. A sick wo
man is always relieved as bv baptism
in a pool of Siloam by fire bells at
night and when these furiously fran
tic and explosive assistant fire belis
ore their reckless pistols at the
moon and stirs the good women and
children are made exceedingly com-
fortable and happy. Whittling bu!-
Ic's give variety to startling incidents
of the ghaut ly night and when the gay
fellows fire their pistols and begin to
bellow "Kire! Fire!" there is insti-
tuted on earth a small pattern of hell
into which Atistin is converted by
every midnight conflagration. In
most civilized cities firemen alone
go to scenes of destruction. The
raob is in the way preventing efficient
work by firemen and only those sneak
about the f&lliag ruins who would
steal. But hcrefthe fire bell begins to
rittZ after the house is half burned
and never ceases its horrible clanging
till the town is crazed and the people
fiudiog eleep impossible go forth to
gather about the burning building.
Then too the mad ncgre&a in the cal-
aboose tbursts her cavernous mouth
out of the window on t ie lofty height
crowned by the c ty'a capitol and bel-
lows like the cow of B3han. The
clangor of the fusilade from bar rooms
the howls of the giy young fellows
that tush out to shoot at the ttars and
give the alaim. the rattling hook and
bidder companies the whittling of
the steam fire engines and unk-
ing of the affrighted multitude give
spleudid ecstacy to an average fire in
Austin. If the mayor would detail an
engine to send a resistless stream of ire
water from bo ice factories upon the
mob thai is gathered by the fire alarm
that it may be dispersed and taught a
Valuable lessor a confessed public
good would be accomplished and tht-n
if the pistol tolers could be consigned
to the cell of the black bowling
dervish of the calalnose Austin would
be a decenter town even if sinnerB
were furnished with less accurate con-
ceptions of the terror of the old-fashioned
hell by Incidents of a modest
conflagration in the capital.
A cfntt.eman froru Lampasas re
ports the country generally very dry
and the place as warm if not more so
than Austin. Notwithstanding the
poor accommodations the hotels and
boarding houses are generally full and
iu addition there are about 40 or 50
families camping. What 1 lie people
need is enterprise. Like the iuo.hs-
backs f Austin they have not yet
found out that it takes enterprise to
make their town a success. Lampasas
needs a first class hotel where both
those who visit for pleasure and those
who go for health can be certain of
good accommodations. Transporta-
tion from the hotels to tho spriags is
cheap only five cents each way ; and
baths the finest in the world cost
only ten cents. There is a fresh water
batu at the Hancock springs about one
mile from town where the water boils
up and passes off in a stream sufficient
to form an ordinary creek. The Hac-
m springs immediately at the town is
supposed to be of the finest medicinal
water in the world but strange to say
this water has never been ana yzed.
This water is used both for drinking
purposes and for baths. The Chandler
Springs about one and a half miles
from town owned by P. C. Chandler
of this city is the moat wholesome of
all for drinking purposes it being free
from the large quantities of salt found
in the water from tbo Hancock springn
though the nanna is considerably the
best for bathing. If the people of
Lampasas would unite with the people
of Austiu in the construction of a nar-
row gauge railroad the little town of
Lampasas now almost isolated from
tho rest of the world would become
the foremost summer resort in Texas
and would insure many visitors from
adjoining States. As it is now the
only way of reaching the place is by
stage over a rough country or by pri-
vate conveyance.

Editors Democratic Statesman:
For the benefit of your readers please
publish the following quotations from
an official circular in regard to the
amount of silver required to be re-
ceived for postoflice money orders:
"Subsidiary silver coins embracing the
half-dollar quarter-dollar and dimes
shall be a legal tender for five dollars
only when the debt does not exceed
the sum of five dollars whether the
United States is to pay or receive the
anm." "Subsidiary silver coins tender-
ed in payment for the issue of any mon-
ey order exceeding the legal tender
amount of fuch coins may be accepted
it the postmaster can dispose of them
promptly in exchange without cost
for notes or drafts prescribed by the
postal laws and regulations for remit-
tances of surplus money order funds."
From' these quotations it will be seen
that parties desiring money orders for
an amount exceeding five dollars in-
cluding the fee should bring currency
or legal tender silver dollars. It is well
known that I cannot exchange silver
at par for currency notes at any of the
banks or elsewhere and hence I can-
not without cost procure with sil-
ver notes or drafts for remitting
surplus money order funds. I have
been remitting from six to eight
thousand dollars a week of such sur-
plus funds. The inconvenience and
risk in remitting large amounts of sil-
ver by mail will be readily understood.
I would be perfectly willing to receive
silver for money orders far beyond the
requirements of the law if I could as
r.-adily dispose of it. I desire in my
official capacity to extend every reason-
able accommodation but no one cer-
tainly will expect me to go beyond
absolute requirements to icy own
pecuniary loaa. But it cannot be a
matter of great inconvenience to pro-
cure currency in this community where
there is more currejjcj than silver ia
circulation. -' "Respectfully

right of the States to ekUblisli juirau-
tine and health 'am has always been
fully rccogniz' d by Congntse and that
the ciistoni ollicers of the United States
are made subordinate to the S:ate au-

tion 4792 of the Hsvued Statutes ex-
pressly provides that quarantine and
other restraints established by the health
laws of any State respecting sny ves-
sels arriving in or bouui to any port or
district thereof shall be duly observed
by the officers of the custom revenue
of the United Stes by the masters
and crews of the several revenue cut-

the United States shall be faithful in
the execution of such quarantine end
health laws according to their re-
spective precincts and 83 they shall
be directed from time to time by the
Secretary of t'.ie Treasury. Although it
would seem that Congress by i's recent
legislation has. assumed powers wiib
reference to establishing quarantine
regulations which have not before been
exercised yet no new power has been
conferred unon the Secretary of the
Treasury to interfere with the execu-
tion of the State regulations such as
are established under the proclamation
of Governor Nicholls."

kindly t -ndered their services and who
will be gratefully remembered. We
would add that under no circumstances
will services of unacclimated persons be
hereafter accepted.

Gilvtiion has quarantined against

The yellow fever now killing people
in Memphis has a' I the symptoms and
eff'Cts if nteecngitif.
The Memphis papers stopped on the
road to be fumigated and we have no
minute details of the course of events
in the diseased city.
The Knights of Honor at Memphis
have already lost f 10000 by deaths at
Memphis. They are moving the rest of
the insured to tbo country.
The two great morning papers of
Memphis are quarreling with one an-
other like fish women. Trulv in the
midst of death w; tue ia life. It seems
somehow that way.
Our dispatcher state that them are so
few people left in Memphis liable to
aa H ack of yellow fever that the
plague is t-taivirg. My it di the
death that kuow9 un re-urrccuoa.
Bon Aqua Springe where the yellow
fever has appeared ia a watering place
in a deep valley not far from the Ten-
nessee river. It ia coinmonly fre-
quented by the people of Memphis.
Fugitives from Meinpaia have died
of yellow fever in sever) places but
the foal infection has failed to be dif-
fused. No case has orlgina-ed outside
of the area of thu nudriined wjspfcols
and sinks of the unsevcrod aud dying
metropolis.
The extent of flight to which peo-
ple are subjected along tho course of
the Mississippi may li imagined when
it is a solemn fact that i - mayor of
Greenville Miewssippi wou'.d ant suf-
fer a steamboat to ac-n l ail. ore n barrel
oi whisky. That community is dying
of insane terror.
Goldsmith's Deserted Village waa an
overcrowded busy mart contrasted
with Memphis in which there are more
houses than people. Forty-five thou-
sand have fled aud fewer than fif-
teen thousand are left. Thete have
had the ftvjr in former years or can't
get away and many of them are furi-
ously drunken in their habits.
Several fugitives from Memphis have
been sick or died of yellow fever in
interior towns and villogcs of Tennes-
see; but in no instance so far as we
are advised not even in Louisville- has
a case of fever originated outside of
Memphis. Tho breath of Memphis is
required to give life to death and it
would be a good place for the icaaif-
rection. There are more doctors than yeliow
fever patients now ir Memphis and they
say they are going to study the habits
and doings of Yellow. Jack scientifi-
cally and philosophically. If we bad
microscopes of tGOO horse power we
might drag up hie fitecrets. Vc believe
ho is a Mexican burro with claws that
go through a fellow backwards jack-
ing his system inti unutterable confu-
sion aud into kingdom come.

Dead
B.ib Ingeraoll Hays of R:v. Alexv
ander Clark who died recently ia
Georgia:
Frank candid and sincere he prac-
ticed what he prenchoJ nnd looked
with the holy eyes of charity upon the
failings and mistakes of men. He be-
lieved in the power of kiwlnew and
spanned with divine sympathy the lid-
eous gulf that separates the fallen irom
the pure.
Giving freely to others the rights
that he claimed for himself it never
occurred to him that his God hated a
brave and honest unbeliever. He re-
membered thit even an infidel has
rights that love respect 9 ; that hatred
has no saving power; and that in or-
der to be a Christian it in not ikMvi-
sary to become less than a man. He
knew that no one can be maligned into
kindness that epithets cannot con-
vince that curses are. not arguments
and that the finger of xcoru never
points towards heaven. With tho gen-
erosity of an honest man he accorded
to ail the fullest liberty of thought
knowing as he did that in the xealm
of mind a chain is but a curse.
For this man I entertained the pro-
foundest respect. Ia spite of toe
taunts and jeers of bis brethren he
publicly proclaimed that be would ueat
infidels with fairness end respect; that
he would endeavor to convince them
by argument and win them with love.
He insisted that the God he worshiped
loved the well being even of an athe-
ist. In this grand position he stood
almost alone. Tender just and lov-
ing where others were harsh vindic-
tive and crnel he challenged the re
spect and admiration of every honest
man. . A few more such clergymen
might drive calumny from the lips of
faith nnd render tho puipit worthy of
respect.
. The heartiness and kindness with
which this generous man treated me
can never be excelled. He admitted
that I had not lost and could not lose
a. single riht by the expression of my
honest . thought. Neither did he be-
lieve that a servant could win tbo rc-
stect of a generous in aster by perst-
cuting and maligning those whom the
master would willingly forgive.
White this good man wm living his
brethren blamed bim with having
treated roe with fairness. Bat I trust
now that be has left tho shore touched
by the mysterious sea that has neyer
yet borne on any wave the image of a
homeward sail this crime will be for-
fijven him by thoee who aitill remain to
preach the love of G-Srt." -v

K-iglaud. It was presided over for

the gieit architect who planted the
many uobie edifices erected after the
great fire in London in 1GC3. William
ill was initated in this lodge and it
had for master during thirty-four yeus
the Duke of Sussex the great uncle of
Prince Leopold. Among its archives
are the gavel used by Charles 11 to lay
the foundation stone of St. Paul's and
a fragment of a Roman temple which
once stood where St Paul's now does.

authority have ever endeavored to sup-
press the order as being too liberal and
tolerant tu the Jews who are ever the
best of Masons. A letter from Hierc-
pbant Olcott of Madame Biavatsky's
Theoeophical Society says Miaonry is
contributing t the breaking down of
caste in priest-ridden India. In the
eyes of this order the Pariah is on a
teeel with the Rjpoot. Among promi-

To the spirit of gambling w hatever
its evil tendencies may have been the
present high qualitiesof the blood horse
are aim on wuouy lnaemeu. ioiuiui; i
less than the combined greed of gain
and love of adventure which were no
less common then than now together
with a recognition of the laws of heie-
dity which Bhow that in tho aggregate
of times the greatest perfouutr.' or
their acsx kin will breed tbe greatest
performers would have induced the
vast outlays &nd unremittiug attention
bestowed upon the breeding of race
horses. The turf was a constant test-
ing ground upon which all but the will-
fully blind could recognise the compar-
ative value of contending strains of
blood ; and directed by it could resort
to that which proved of the highest
oasts. The result is a race of horses of
compound derivation which now breed
truer in the essential qualites of the
race than any thoroughbred type of
domesticated animal nature which has
not been created under the like condi-
tions of continual test. The proof of
this fact is shown by the failure as an
oimofit universal rule of all essays to
toco successfully with horses having
any near taint upon their pedigrees.
That a superior part-bred horse may
beat "poor thorough-brcds is quite
probaVic but that one should race any-
where near the "crack" horses of tho
turf who are to retire on their laurels
and to bo sought for perpetuating their
race wou'.d be regarded as the most
improbable of events by all who have
any experience m such matter?.
Tho greatest mortality which ever oc-
curred in New Orleans was in 18:!2
w hen the city w as d ey astated by ch o! ei a.
The number of deaths was 8099 from
a population of G50S3 or 147.02 to the
1C0O. In 1853 the year of tho great
yellow fever epidemic the total nuru-
lior of deaths from all causes was 15-
787 out of a population of 151132 or
10242 to the 1000. The year 18:17
shows tho lowest mortality reported by
the Commissioner of 1J54 which whs
1057 oat of a population of 43.031.
Theocan mortality of tho city during
the years comprised between 1787 und
1853 was 59.83 to tho 1000.
Dr. Edward n. Barton in bis report
to the Commission stales tlu:t the total
mortality iu New Orleans in 1H53 from
yellow fever during the year not only
those certified to be such but a bro
proportion of the "unknown" tuppju-
od to be such from a want of pr.tp.r
record is estimated upon all grouu is
of probabilityu to have been S101.
That tho ratio of mortality from yellow
fever to the entire permanent popula-
tion being the calculated natural in-
crease over the census returned was
one in 19.22 or 5.25 per cent.
The total number of cases ol yellow
fever in 1833 was 29020 which was
the Isrgeat number Of cases of yellow
fever which ever afflicted the city.
.Eut 8101 deaths out of that great num-
ber of cases is only 27.81 per cent. on
one -in 3 58 the least mortality which
had ever occurred in a great and malig-
nant epidemic of that dread dibcase.
Swan lake is about ten miles south
of Soda springs on the Paris road in
Idaho. You caa see sights there more
wonderful than at any ether place on
earth. Yoeemite is nowhere in com-
parison. There is a lake on the top of
a mountain covering about one acre of
ground with a rim around it like a
china wash-basin which slopes IT to
ward tbe centre inside. Bend over the
rim of this lake and look down into its
clear cavernous depths and you will
notice full-grown trees body branch-
es and all :n perfect symmetry and
entirely petrified or encrusted with s
nabsUnce which without a closer analy-
sis we should pronounce carbonate f

specimen shown by the judg?. Th'-ff

stature before in water found iu

universal costnrae is m white lien o ip

with perhaps a Bilk kerchief of a gv
color. While tte French servant is nut
indifferent to trie attractions of drc

She is too thrifty to spend more oa

' The Congregation of Cardinal t
which the qnuaiion of the nullification
of the marriage of Lady Mary Hamilton
with the Prince of Monaco had been
committed after a long debate decided
In favor of the lady's demand. Much
excitement was caused at the Vatican
by the current statement saya the
London Time doubtless calumnious
to the effect that five of tho Cardinals '
who bad pronounced in favor of nulli-
fying the marriage of Lady Mary
iiimiltou with the Prince of Monaco
had been bribed with 400.COD frtnees.
This assertion having reached the Pope
was the main cause of his refusal t
sign the decree. Summoned by the
Pope the five Cardinals declared tbi.t
they bad decided solely on the merits
of the document! presented by tlio
Princess. The Prince of Monaco will
come in person to Rime to be heard in
support of this case. And the Pope
