Captain Quin Authorized to Make a
Definite Proposition to the Citizens of
Galvc«(«n-Xo Ooubt About Securing
the t'aliiici—Sulll va 11 lload If the
Proper Steps are 'taken.
A rumor having been current on the streets yes-
terday that a definite answer to the communica-
tion of the Committee of Eleven had been re-
ceived from the Palmer-Sullivan Company, a Nfws
reporter called 011 Captain Quin and asked what he
know of it.
Captain Quin—I have been in telegraphic com-
munication with General Palmer, and have con-
veyed to him the substance of the committee's
letter to Mr. Gardiner. Late this afternoon I re-
ceived authority from General Palmer to treat
definitely with the committee in reference to bring-
ing the Texas Mexican Railway into Galvestou on
its own lino.
Reporter—Would you have any objection to
stating what the terms are?
Captain Quin—I should not like to do so in ad-
vance of my meeting with the committee. I have
notified the secretary of my authority to treat with
the committee definitely, and I shall be able to
make them a plain and definite proposition as soon
as they are ready to meet me.
Reporter—Will this prono.-ition be a
the siigjje tion made by Mr. Gardiner?
■o.-ition be a renewal of

City Kailroad Notes.
The City Railroad Company purchased last week
the block immediately south of the Pavilion, front-
ing 300 feet on the beach. It is intended to erect
a model bath-house, with all modern improve-
ments, on the eastern line of this property, and the
remainder will be utilized and occupied as seats
for visitors, and for this purpose a large number of
comfortable benches are being prepared. The
difficulty experienced in working the electric light,
on Tuesday night, resulted from the choking of
the supply pipe of the engine, wnich was speedily
remedied, and no similiar inconvenience is likely 10
occur again; in fact, the light is working perfectly.
Professor Lindertberg's band give another of their
free concerts at the Pavilion, this evening, which
will, 110 doubt, be largeiy attended.

School ICxauaiuation.
An attendance which severely tested the holding
capacities of Hapgood Collegiate Institute, con-
ducted by Mrs. Hoffmaster and Mrs. Be bee, assem-
bled there Friday morning to witness the examina-
tion of the scholars of the school. Th- exercises
were of the different branches of studies, inter-
spersed with recitations and musical selections by
the scholars. The success was gratifying in every
respect, every one being well up in his or her
studies. The recitation by Miss Clara Wollstein
elicited loud applause, arid that by Annie Johnson
was very well received. Medals were
awarded to the following scholars: Highest
honors—Henrietta Trube and Helen Hoffmas-
ter. General excellence in scholarship—
First clas3,lAnnis Andrews and Elvira Van Harsen;
second claSs, Katie Monro** and Clara Wollstein;
third class, Annie Botts. Writing—Annie Johnson
and Laura Sampson: second class, Augusta Hilde-
brandt and Inez Bebee. German—Susie Asehoff.
Prizes— M ita Asehoff and Alma Tobelman. Among
the attractions of the entertainment were specimen
drawings by the pupils. Among the number were
some gOod specimens exhibited by the following
young ladies (that, are to become): Estelle Austin,
; Is telle Hunt, Helen Hoffmaster, Henrietta Trube.
->ee Bebee showed great care and good taste. Miss
ieaufort is the drawing teacher, Mrs. Perkins is
teacher </{ music, Professor Leopold Wollstein
reaches German.
Calisthenics closed the examinations, and showed
to geod advantage the physical abilities of the
scholars.
Captain Quin—It will be such a proposition as
will secure to Galveston a terminus ot the road if
the commiltee are in anywise reasonably anxious
for it.
Reporter—Then I understand from you that
General Palmer really desires to come to Galves-
ton, and that his terms \\ ill be such that it will be
in the power of this city to secure the road?
Captain Quin— Yes.
Reporter—Don't you think it would be of great ,
advantage for this city to have the road?
Captain Quin -1 do. It will not only bring the
business ot Mexico, but in the near future it wili
also bring the business of the Great West—of Colo-
rado, Utah and Arizona—and the entire system of
narrow-gauge railways, which is under the same
management as the Texas Mexican and the
Mexican National, which are one and the same. In
fact, I think it would be or" greater advantage
than all the other railroads in Texas, because their
natural inclinations are to run to the East, while
the tendency of the narrow-gauge system, ti a vers-
ing the country it does, would be to seek tide water.
I think that with Galveston sde.ted as the eastern
terminus of the Palmer-Sullivan system of rail-
ways, tiie influence that would be brought to bear
in favor of deep water in the channel would be
such as would secure that much-desired and all-
important consideration to the future prosperity of
this place, beyond any peradveuture. because
then this great railroad s3"stem would
have an interest not only co-equal
but vastly greater even than that of
the city of Cfalveston in creating such a depth of
water 011 the bar and in the channel as wouul en-
able boats of the heaviest draft to come directly
up to the wharf, and there unload and receive
freights to and from Europe. Indeed, a very large
part of the business which will cont^i from Mexico
wiii be for foreign export. It is hardly fair to
judge from the present condition of the trade of
that country what its future will be, from the fact
that they have heretofore had to transport the
products of that country on the backs of mules to
the seaboard.
Reporter—'What point has the trade of Mexico
heretofore sought ?
Captain Quin—1The products have been trans-
ported on the backs of mules to Manzanillo, on the
Pacific, and Vera Cruz, on the Gulf, and from these
points the products of the country have generally
been shipped to Europe, to France, England and
Germauy.
Reporter—By the now-developing railroad sys-
tem will not this trade be diverted in a large meas-
ure to the United States ?
Captain Quin—Very naturally. The people of
Mexico can trade with the people of this country
more directly and more profitably than
they can with foreigners across the
water, and the nearest seaboard and the
neatest and best market will of course be Gal-
veston. if Galveston is put on the line of direct
communication. The railroad system now being
put in operation in Mexico will tend greatly to
develop the agricultural and mineral wealth of that
country, an I the riches that it will pour into the
lap of this city are scarcely to be conceived.
Reporter—When will this system of railroads be
perfected*
Captain Quin -From Corpus Christi to Laredo
wili be finished by the end of this year, and from
Galveston to San .Luis Potosi, where it will meet
with the line ruuniug north from the City of Mex-
ico by the end of next year. Thousands of men
are working along the line at various places. SixTry-
five thousand tons of steel rails have been con-
tracted for and partly delivered; also 200 locomo-
tives and 1000 freight cars have been contracted for
and partly delivered.
Reporter—You think, then, there is'no doubt that
the Palmer-Sullivan Company will make Galveston
their eastern terminus if the Committee of Eleven
act reasonably and fairly?
Captain Quin—The terms are within easy reach,
and I don't think there is any doubt about Galves-
ton having the road if she makes an effort to se-
cure it.

A Texas Race-Horse.
It has only been within the past few years that
Texas race-horses have commanded eten a place
in the great fields on 1 he American turf. The un-
precedented success, therefore, which is recorded
below, of a Texas horse, is a matter in which every
citizen of the State has an equal pride. The racing
of Incommode upon tracks at Waco. Austin and
Dallas is not yet forgotten, nor are the prophecies
which were then made of his future greatness.
These are beginning to be proved. The Courier
Journal thus describes the race which Incommode
won in such noble style- It must be borne in mind
that welter weights mean extra weights carried for
age:
k* The second event of the day was a dash of one
mile for an Association purse of $ 100, welter weight .
This proved the race of the meeting thus far. and
the performance of the winner i< the best on rec-
ord. The starter- were Gabriel. Liatunah, Kimball
and the Duke of Kent. Lakeland's pair, and Incom-
mode, the Texas hero front the stable of the vet-
eran trainer, John Huggins. Kimball, who was
known to be a race-horse, had the call in the pools.
Incommode being second choice. The order of bet-
ting before the start was, Kimball, $30 > Incom-
mode, $~60: Gabriel, $l*-i0; Glasgow. $110: Lian-
tunah, #110, and the Duke of Kent $100. Liantunah
chose to be obstreperous and delayed
the start a few minutes, but at length
the flig dropped, with the gray gelding,
mounted byJimuiie McLaughlin, in the lead, the
Duke of Kent second. Liatunah third and the other
three well up in the bunch. The Duke set the pace,
and at the quarter-pole had taken the lead, fol-
lowed by Kimball, his stable companion—Liatunah,
Gabriel, Incommode and Glasgow in the order
named. Down the back stretch the pace was ter-
rific. and the race was a beautiful one. As they
neared the half-mile pole, Luke'and, who was rid-
ing Kimball, gave the colt his head and sent him
promptly to the fore, followed by the Duke. Ga-
briel and Incommode. At the head of the
siretel) Kimball and the gray horse were
on even terms, and ic looked as though
one of the two would surely win. At the
eighth pole they were both whipping for victory,
when out from the group shot the blue and blue of
Barclay & Iluggins, and in a moment a great bay
horse was in the front traveling like a locomotive.
It was Incommode, and he was winning easily. The
spectators yelled till the}* were hoarse, and when
Lakeland, by viciously applying his whip and spur
to the chestnut sides of Kimball, gained a bit on the
leader tiie excitement was intense. But it was not
in the cards for Kimball to win. Incommode was a
Wild horse, ami at that particular time, with even
weights, Ten Broeck, in his palmiest days, could
11 t have beaten him. He finally landed under the
siring winner by a length, with Kimball second and
Gabriel third. When the time (1.44) was hung up
the crowd cheered lustily, and Incommode was the
hero of the hour. Ife had beaten the Jhest time on
record by a second."

malte.se Cross medals.
. 1 To The JVcics.l
Gaj.veston. June 4, 1881.—I see diSDlaved in a
show-window on Market street, between t« entieth
and Twenty-first streets, several badges to be
awarded the successful contestants in tac races
Sunday under the auspices of the 'Longshoremen's
Benevolent Association. These badges or tm dais
are all very neat, both in design and workmanship,
The five golden stars are beautiful and appropriate,
beimr the emblem of our State, and a medal any one
is entitled to wear. The prizes to be given for the,
successful contestants in the six-oared barge race
are in my opinion totally inappropriate, although
gotten up in the finest style possible. i refer to
those which in design and shape represent the Mal-
tese cross, which is the peculiar emblem of Templar
Masonry, and has been for ages. Those winning
these medals can not appreciate them as much as
they could tho' e of almost, any other design, and
that thay would undoubtedly blush to wear as a
medal the exclusive emblem of an order to which
they did not belong, as it might lead the uninitiated
to infer they were members of an order
of which, doubtless. they knew nothing.
Again, should a Knight Templar accost them
and ask for an explanation of the
different angles of the cross,they would be ashamed
to confess their ignorance. i would suggest to the
.Association, for the sake of those hereafter to wear
their nriz?s, that they adopt some other design be-
fore the medals are awarded. ***
Mischief in tlse Air.
We can not analyze the aerial poisons that pro-
duce epidemic and endemic diseases; but the valu-
able di coveries which have been made in vegetable
pharmacy enable us to counteract their maliflc iu-
lluence. The most powerful known antidote to
every species of malaria is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, a pure botanical medicine, in which the
finest anti-septics, tonics, alteratives and stimulants
of the vegetable kingdom are skilfully and effec-
tively combined. At seasons of the year when the
atmosphere is surcharged with miasma, and when-
ever the specific virus of any infectious disease is
supposed to be present in the air, this famous cor-
l-eclivo should be taken regularly as a protective.
All who choose to observe this precaution may bid
defiance to intermittent and remittent fevers, and
in fact to all disorders generated by foul exhala-
tions or impure water.
Icc! Ice! Ice!
On and after April 1, 18S1, the Island City
Ice Company will commence the sale of ice, at

ner Eighteenth street and Avenue A, connect-
ed by telephone. A retail place will be opened
on Postoffice street, between Twenty-first and
Twenty-second streets, in Pix's building.
The formation of this Company grew out of
a necessity for cheaper ice linn has hereto-
fore been furnished, and they respectfully

as, in their opinion, the objects and purposes
of its formation warrant. J. C. Ogle,

Kli Perkins in Galvestou.
[Letter in Chicago Tribune.]
Galveston, Tex.. May 25.—Galveston hast the
finest beach on the Continent for either bathing or
driving. You can walk straight out into the Gulf
of Mexico a quarter of a mile on hard, clean sand.
This beach is thirty miles long. Carriages drive to
the very edge of the water, and often with one
wheel in the water. It is here that the Galveston-
ians take their evening drives. There is no under-
tow to the water, as at Cape May, Atlantic City, or
Long Branch. Even children are safe while b til-
ing alone. for the history of Galveston does not >.rive
a single case of surf-drowning. I took a bath here
May 18, and the wafer was warmer than the air.
and the pir was at 87 degrees, while it was at 93 de-
grees iu New York the same day. It was a perfect
bath.
MOCK MODESTY.
The Galvestonians have a mocic modesty about
bathing in the daytime—so tlte young ladies and
gentlemen bathe at night I I think it would be
much l etter taste if the Galveston young ladies
would come out in O] e.i daylight, with their sweet -
heirts. and parents and clergymen, and bathe
when their actions could be watched in the bright-
est light.
The reason why the Galveston girl does not ex-
pose her form in bathing costume in the daytime
is, it is reported, because she almost always is lack-
ing in plumpness. If this report is not true, the
young ladies of Galveston hJh.wH oome out on the
beach, liko Northern girls at Cape May and L>ng
Branch, and disprove it at onoe. But no—they wiQ
continue to bathe after chirk: and the ba e decep-
tion will go on till the young men rise up in virtu-
ous indignation and insist on fair play;
THE TEXAS GIRL.
Texas girls are very pretty, and are great flirt ;
but, like the Louisville girls, they will powder their
faces, and say "Paw" and "Maw" for "Father"
and "Mother." A Texas girl matures early,
marries at eighteen, and goes all to pieces
at twenty-four. Whether she has children
or not, she collapses, gets poor in flesh,
her eyes grow large and prominent, and the
littL flesh she had almo-t totally disapps^r.?.. .J .
And this is always the case withthe women in hot
climates. It's so in Cuba and Spain and South
America. Then, the Texas girls never have rosy
cheeks. If their cheeks are like the ro«e, it is the
white rose. The Texas girl's present happiness or
future hope in the line of jewelry is a long gold
chain to go around the neck twice, hang half-ivay
("o vn the drjsi-skirt. and finallv attach itself to a
watch. ******
galveston city and harbor.
The city of Galveston is built on a fiat sand-bank,
running east and west. Once, after a long blow
from the south, the city went under; but as soon
as the wind cased, the water went back into the
gulf, aud Galveston arose unhurt from the waves.
The wind is seldom severe along the coast. Wood-
en houses are built close to the water's edge, which
stand the storms for years. The same buildings at
Long Branch or Coney Island wouldn't stand a
week. The real harbor of Galveston is the whole
(]u!r of Mexi ■<>. Ships ride at anchor anywhere in
tile Gulf of Mexico with perfect safety. " You can
always see twenty or thirty steamships or ocean
sail-vessels riding at anchor outside of Galvostoa.
The largest ships do n6t come into the city until
they are lightered, I believe Galveston harbor
proper is not over twelve feet deep: but the largest
vessels land, or rather anchor, outside and discharge
their cargoes. The waves ou the Gulf of Mexico do
not run much higher than they do on Lake Miclii-
an.
houston's harbor.
A canal is cut up Buffalo Bayou now, and small
boats run forty miles inland to Houston. The
Houstonians even claim that tliey have a seaport ;
but the Galvestonians don't admit any such thing.
Houston and Galveston fight like Chicago and St.
Louis; and Galveston always makes fun of Hous-
ton's harbor. They say the Houston harbor is forty
miles long and eleven feet too and one-half inches
\> ide. They say Houston uses it for a harbor in
winter and for a race-track in dry weather in the
summer. War always has existed, and always will
exist, between Galveston and Houston.
The wealthiest peiple in Galveston are Israelites.
The same can be said of San Antonio. Wao and
other Texas towns. The Israelites thrive in the
Southern States because Uiey have no politics and
devote themselves entirely to trade.
railroads.
Real estate in Galveston is firm and advancing.
The Palmer-Sullivan system has deluded to make
Galveston its Ciulf outlet. The (J-ulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe—a Galveston railroad—is now running
trains up to Belton, and is laying track at the rate
of a mile a day into Fort Worth. It will run trains
from Galveston to Fort Worth ill ninety days. This
line runs up the Brazos River, through the richest
land in Texas. The Missouri. ICnn as atid Texas
Railroad is grading track from Denison, via Foil
Worth, down through M'aco and along the Brazos
River bott-»m to Galveston. Colonel Fred. Grant's
road is a short stem, about forty miles long. It be-
gins at Houston and runs toward Alaska. Senator
Chaffee, the fatlier-in law of Ulysses Grant, fur-
nished the money to buy this germ of a future road.
Colonel Grant is now in New York raising money
for it. En Pekkixs,
"Questions Answered."
I From tiie Brooklyn Eagle]
"Are you one of the editors of this news-
paper?" "she asked, in a fluttering tone, ap-
proaching the ntan who docs the " Questions
Answ ered " for the Eagle.
"Yes," he replied, taking her in at a glance.
"Make the waist, plain and shirr the skirt; put
in an apron front anil leave the back of the
dress full, with a narrow flounce at the bot-
tom," and the encyclopedia turned away to his
work.
I don't want to ask you about dress." she
faltered. " I hope I am above the vanities of

and her eyes lilled with tears
" Are yon an idiot, lunatic, married woman,
or habitual drunkard?" inquired the "Ques-

suckled her young.
"Sir?" she demanded, with rising indigna-

"Because if you ain't, you're legally respon-

" How could the children of Adam marry the
daughters of men if there was no man before
Adam ?"
" I don't mean that. I want to understand
whether I am a free agent, or if I am—"
"That depends upon how you made your

you are only liable for the purchase price, but
if you work on commission—"
"No. no; not that!" and the streaming tears
roused the "Questions" man to some show of
interest. "lam in doubt. Which way shall

" Well, my dear, that depends much on the

" Good heaven !" ejaculated the inquirer,
"he thinks I dance. No, no; no! You don't
understand me. I want to know the right
road."
"Yes, yes; I see. That depends upon cir-
cumstances. If you're going to tho cemetery,
you take a Greenwood car. If you're going
oyer to Williamsburg, look out for a Green-
point and Myrtle avenue car; or if you want
the circus, you will find the Fulton street—"
" Merciful Providence? It is not that either.
Can you scoff at me when my head is bowed
thus in sorrow? "
"Oh! that's it," replied the "Questions"
man, gluiiciiig through Uollins's History to find
the difference between a Scandinavian and a
Swedenborgian. "Get a brown chip, turned
up at the back or on the left side, and trim it
with a yard of Spanish lace and a bunch of
forgef-me-nots in the front. Or vou might try
a white Leghorn with—"
"Can't you understand me?" she moaned,
wringing her hands. " Don't you see that my
feet are sore and weary, looking for the right
path?"
"Corns?" asked the "Questions" man,
scratching his ear. " Pare 'em down care-
fully and put on four drops of lemon, or—"
"You mock me!" she sobbed. "Pray let
me rest a moment."
The " Questions " man regarded her sympa-
thetically, and turned to the inquiry, " Did
the Athenians fry their clams or eat them
raw?" while he gave her time to recover.
" I came for information," she continued at

Editorial Expressions from Leading
Papers.
[.Veto York Express.]
Secretary Johnson, of the Republican State
Committee, thinks it will lie a sad day for his

will also be sad for it if he is successful In
fact, its melancholy days have come, the sad-

But suppose the choice of Senators can not
be postponed and committed to the next Legis-
lature? That question must not be answered
or even considered until every possible effort
has been made, and made without success, to
secure the postponement. One Democratic
Senator, of course, will lie better than two
half-breed Senators, but New York is entitled
to two Democratic Senators. Why is New
York not to have them?"
[Duffalo Aetcs.l
The "half-breeds" pretend to favor civil-
service reform, and yet we find them trying to
supplant Conkling, who is honest and capable,
and has had experience with some third-rate
chap whose sole recommend is that he knows
what the Governor of South Carolina said to
the Governor of North Carolina.
[Pittsburgh Post.]
The latest story is that Postmaster-General
James is an aspirant for the Republican Presi-
dential nomination in 18S4, and is using his at-
tack on the Star ring routes, as Bristow did
his assault on the whisky ring, to strengthen
his candidacy. It is claimed that the Admin-
istration would scarcely oppose him as a mem-
ber of the Cabinet; while the Grant and
Conkling crowd would gladly welcome such a
nomination. Garfield seems to be already out
of the ileld. He will bo " left" in New York.
(Utica Observer.]
Democratic politics are quiescent now, while
the opposite side stab each other in their savage
ft;ht. But while the Democrats are united in
the policy of holding sternly ^J,oof from the
fight, au<l allowing the two factions to destroy
one another, they have a very general sympathy
for the stalwart side. It is a war over wretch-
edly small things, of course, and discredits
both contestants. But after all there is some
choice between Senator Conkling, who did not
lie, and President Gariield, who did.

most certain of indictment and conviction—
Stephen W. Dorsey, is lying ill at his residence
here. Sick with apprehension of coming evil,
haggard with fears of exposure and punish-
ment, he spends his days and nights in bed,
nominally afflicted with some disorder which
requires the ministrations of a physician.
Meanwhile his house is watched by detectives;
those who enter and leave it are noted, and
should its owner come forth he would be
shadowed wherever he went. While Dorsey,
dying daily, cowers within four walls, the
Star Route investigations are forging a chain
of evidence which, when riveted around his
limbs by the Attorney-General, will defy at-
tempts to break it.
SITTINGS ritOM TEXAS SITTINGS.
It is not a bit too early for Galveston and
Houston each to become seriously distressed at
the sanitary condition of the rival seaport.
In San Antonio very little encouragement is
given to rising young artists. Felipe Galvan,
a talented yonng Mexican, who attempted to
draw a gun, was covered with a pistol and led
off to jail.
A man in New York lives without anv
lungs, aud the doctors are very much puzzled."
[Ex.] Pshaw! Having no lungs he can't draw
his latest breath, and until a man breathes
his last breath he is bound to live on. Give us
a hard oue.
When the orthodox old preacher tells the
young man "of the period that if Ee'doesn't
atop his foolishness he will die some day. and
go—go somewhere, the young man says:
' Thanks, au, for the audvice, but it ain't,'ye
know, in the revised edition."
A South American plant has been discov-
ered that cures bashfulness. Those stage rob-
bers who cover up their faces while taking up
tho collection should order some to be sent
them through the mail. Then they would be
sure to get it.
The innocent congressman who read in the
papers of one of his confidential letters to Gen-
eral Brady, requesting that oue of the routes
be expedited, must feel as shocked as was the
young man who, on leaving the church door,
had his cane come apart before the whole con-
gregation, and a fish-pole telescope out of it.
We'have received several communications
from farmers, requesting that we use our in-
fluence to prevent State ofllcials, who may de-
sire re-election, from going out in the country
pretty soon. It is requested that they post-
pone their visit. The farmers write that they
are badly enough in the grass as it is.
It has been suggested that General Hancock
will be the Democratic candidate for the Pres-
idency in 1881. Possibly the large numbei of
complimentary gold-headed caues" presented to
General Hancock during tho late election were
intended to be used on the individual who
might make the above suggestion to the Gen-
eral.
A man who had been crippled up in a rail-
road accident went to the office of tho com-
pany iu Houston and complained. "Why,"
said the cattle-claim agent, " vou ought to
keep quiet. You have only "had your leg
broken. We kill men deader tlian Julius
Caesar almost every week, and none of them
ever come here and raise a row about it.
G'way, you annoy us."
The Galveston merchants can not bring the
railroad magnates to terms, and consequently
there wiH be no love-feas't. The engagement is
as good as off. Galveston does not need much
advics, but we notice in a Northern paper that
a voung ladv refused to marry a young man,
wliereupou he brought her to terms by hitting
her with a brick aud breaking three of her
ribs. What is needed at Galveston is energetic
measures.
What Texas needs most just now is a rest
from politicians. The farmers have their
hands full taking the cr6ps out of the grass.
Texas wants a chance to recuperate. She is
like the beautiful young lady who was nearly
bored to death at a ball by a very talkative
young society man, who finally wanted to
know if he should not bring her some refresh-
ment. She replied: "If you will only stay-
away and not talk to me, I will feel very
much refreshed."
It is *eally a good thing for Texas that all
the public lands have at last been squandered.
There is not much left now for legislators to
squabble ab6ut. The wild Indians can be
brought to terms very much the same way, by
killing all the buffalo. When there are no
longer any buffalo for the Indians to hunt,
they will settle do\yn t<} legitimate business,
just as the Texas legislators will have to do as
soon as the wild lauds are all taken up.
A Mexican by the name of Epetnenio Gon-
zales was arrested at Schwarz's jiawnshop last
evening by Officer Kohr and jailed. The offi-
cer took from the fellow's pocket a five-shooter
loaded with cartridges. He stated that he had
just redeemed the pistol from Scharz, and that
lie did- not intend to do any harm with it.
[San Antonio Express.
So Epemenio had just redeemed his pistol
from the pawnbroker. Those American jour-
nalists who assert that the Mexican has not got
a single redeeming trait in his character will
please make a note of this case.
Governor Rolterts and other State officials
tendered the Presbyterian preachers the use
of the Capitol, and showed them other marked
courtesies, hence it is already w hispered about
that th® former expects to be re-elected on the
religious vote of the State. Now-a-days an
official can hardly do anything without being
accused of demogogisnt. The same caviling
spirit rrf distrust has already invaded social
life. When Uncle Mose was found on a gen-
tleman's chicken house, w ith a pullet iu each
hand, he was accused of not being actuated by
honest motives. "Mudder ob Moses," ex-
claimed the venerable old humbug, " can't
dis pore olo darky go to a quiet retired spot
to pray any more, widout bein' mistrusted;"
SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
The cry of science Is still " Onward," ar.d its goal
of yesterday will ever be its startinsr-poinfc of to-
morrow. [Dawson.
Recent experiments with the electric light in
photography have met with much success. In
some respects it is said to produce better results
than sunlight.
Two physicians of Paris have for some time been
experimenting a new method of curing neuralgia.
It consists in causing vibrations in the nerves
affected, by means of a succession of light tap-
pings. They claim remarkable success.
Forty thousand wax candles are instantaneously
lighted by a single match in the KoyalPalace,Berlin.
The wicks are previously connected by a thread
spun from gun cotton, on igniting one end of which
all the candles in the TOO apartments are lighted
simultaneously.
A cypress tree, 75 feet high, 10 feet in diameter
and more than 2S00 years old, was recently de-
stroyed near Sparta, Greece. This celebrated
remnant of the life of by-gone ages was described
by Pausanias, 400 years before Christ. The Spar-
tans mourn its loss.
Professor Ilelmholtz expresses the opinion that
our planetary system must sooner or later come to
an end by the exhaustion of its forces. Tiie sun
must ultimately "run down." like a clock. He
thinks that the existing stock of power available
for the maintaining of life may last some 17,000,000
years.
A curinu3 instance of the deodorizing of illumi-
nating gas was recently cited by Professor Rensen.
In Dresden a quantity of gas escaped from a pipe
outside of a dwelling, and p&ssed through the
eait i into the house, with its odor entirely gone.
It was breathed unconsciously, and several deaths
occurred in consequence.
Some interesting archteological discoveries have
just been made in Algiers, near the sea cost, on the
seat of the ancient Uticj. The remains (fa temple
consecrated to the infant. Hercules, a statuette of
the god in white marble—evidently Greek—a Bac-
chus, life size, also in white marble, and a number
ot flue mosaics, seem to indicate the probability of
a great "find."
Though the invention of the barometer is due to
the mathematician Torricelli, yet in England Sir
Christopher Wren was the first to suggest that the
varying weight of the atmosphere was the true
cause of the variation in the height of the mercury.
This was a theory opposed to that of the disciples
of Descartes, who ascribed the variation to the in-
fluence of the moon.
Mr. W. II. Preece, the English electrician, has
determined with much accuracy the area protected
by a properly adjusted lightning-red. His conclu-
sion is that the protection extends to a conic space
whose height is tho length of the rod, the base
being a circle having its radius equal to the height
of the rod—an opinion which has been held by
scientific men for a long time.
It is believed that porosity is a property of all
bodies. An experiment performed some years
ago, to ascertain whether water could be com-
pressed, resulted in proving that gold is porous—
the water inclosed in a hollow sphere of gold be-
ing forced, by the violent pressure applied, through
tiie sphere and appearing on the outside. The
pores through which the liquid was driven could
not have been more than the two-millionth part of
an inch in diameter.
Military telegraphy contributed in no small de-
gree to the disasters of the French in the Franco-
German war. Recent publications show the
thoroughness with which the army investing Paris
was kept telegraphically connected in its different
parts. About 2000 messages were sent daily. Au-
tomatic signals gave immediate notice of the cut-
ting of wires or other interference with the tele-
graph lines, and mounted men were promptly dis-
patched to make repairs.
Dr. Beard explains the marvelous powers exhib-
ited at times by subjects in a mesmeric or trance
condition by the exaltation of one faculty while all
the rest are for I he ttme suppressed. A permanent
exaltation of some single faculty, as of calculation
or music, with the suppression of all other facul-
ties to a greater or less degive. occurs sometimes
in the cases of idiots, w hose brain power appears
contined to one line of effort. In such cases any
improvement in general ability or intelligence is
attended by a lessening of the force of the exalted
faculty. The attention of the Medico-Surgical So-
ciety of St. Petersburg has lately been called to a
remarkable case illustrating this principle in in-
verse order. The subject, a Russian of twenty-
seven. was in youth distinguished for brilliant abil-
ties. Disease brought on by dissipation caused the
loss of all his mental faculties except memory and
the power of mathematical calculation. Those in-
creased proportionately as his power of logical
thinking and understanding vanished. He is now
a living phonograph and calculating apparatus.
Tiie Reporter.
[From the School of Journalism's First Reader.]
This is the reoorter. You will notice how
flnely he is dressed. He wears his best clothes
every dav, because he doesn't know what Sun-
day is. Reporters have an easy life. They go
to work before 10 o'clock in the morning,"and
are often through with their labors by 13 at
night. There are many kinds of report rs.
The society reporter goes to parties and wed-
dings. He takes down the names of the people
who have been invited, whether they are there
or not, and prints them in the papers the next
day. Once a man started for a party, but got
too full for utterance before reaching there
aud was locked up. The society reporter said
he was at the party, all the same, but the po-
lice reporter said ho was fined $3 for being
drunk. So this man got his name in the pa-
pers twice, but he cut out oue of the items for
fear his wife might see them both and think
the press was making too much of him. Men
are often so modest. The sporting reporter
goes to horse races, base ball games and cock
fights. It is wicked to go to horse races if you
bot ou the wrong horse. Once there was a
croquet tournament in a large city, aud the
editor of a paper knew that somebody must
write it up. So he spoke to the sporting re-
porter. "What have I got to do with those dizzy
croquet players?"."said the sporting reporter.
That's a society event." I guess you are
right," replied the editor; "so you can go up
in the country, about two miles north of where
tho street cars run, and see if it looks as if we
would have an early spring, and then this
evening there are four Land-League meetings
for vou to look after." So the sporting re-
porter had a little to do, after all, and clubbed
himself quite heartily. A man need not have
a clasical education in order to be a good re-
porter, but he must be able to hustle
around some, and hump himself when
there is a big fire or murder. Re-
porters can get nsarer to a fire than any-
body. except the fireman, and the new
ones do it. But tie old heul-i at t'.ie business
know better. Tney s: ai d on the corner until
the fire is out, and then get a hack and go to
the house of the man who owns the building
and a*k him how much the old shell was worth,
and if he thinks the insurance companies will
have him arrested for setting it on fire. This
is when the man acts mean, and does not opeu
the door for them, because he has just got
out of bed and declines to answer ques-
tions. But if ho acts square, you
bet the boys treat him light, and in
the morning people read of ltim as "our
estimable citizen, Mr. ." Reporters sel-
dom die early; they are too tough. Perhaps
some other time I may tell you more about the
reporters. Many of them are married aud
live happily with their wives, because they
never see them except when they come home
to go to bed. A drowsy man can not quarrel
much. _
The schoolhoy is told by his loved teacher
that common coal aud diamonds are of exactly
the same material. Generally the loving small
boy doesn't believe this statement of his loved
teacher, but when he grows up and has to pay
for the coal during a hard winter, he realizes
that coal is not only similar to diamonds in
composition, but in price as well. [Brooklyn
Eagle. _
Architect (to Mr. de Newvo Ritch, who is
considering the front elevation of a projected
residence): If you do not like those towers,

they be; but if 'liminatin'on 'em would make
'em han'somer, let's have 'em 'liminated.

It is remarkable how many things will ex-
plode—bottles of catsup, doughnuts, soda

" Eugenie's father, upon hearing this, ex-
ploded with indignation." This should tench
fathers never to fool with indignation. [Nor-

CHANCE TO ENGAGE IS
JLIl the Stock Business.—I will sell or lease, for a
term of years, my stock and grain farm, situated
immediateb* on the Texas-Pacific R. R.. two miles
from the town of Terrell, Kaufman county. Texas,
and thirty miles east of Dallas, consisting of 4500
acres, under plank and wire fence, subdivided by >
cross fences into five fields. The pastures are well
supplied with inexhaustible ponds and streams of
water, and abundant shade trees—the track being
crossed by creeks bordered with timber. The farm
consists of about 200 acres iu a lugh state of cultiva-
tion. and is especially adapted to the culture oC
small grain. The orchard consists of a large
variety of the choicest fruit trees, grapes and ber-
ries. The farm and improvements are situated oa
the west quarter of the tract. The buildings are
very substantial and complete in finish, and espe-
cially arranged for convenience. The dwelling ia
two stories, with eight large rooms in addition to
store-room, dairy and bath-room, which is supplied
with water from a large reservoir in the top or tne
house: a cistern of 500 barrels capacity, and other
water facilities conveniently located. The grauary
and stables are commodious and conveniently ar-
ranged. Especial attention has been given to the
arrangement and durability of cow-sheds, feed-
troughs, hay-racks, branding-pens and other con-
veniences for the care and raising of fine stock,
and I have no hesitation in saying that it is the
best appointed stock farm west of the Mississippi
River. I wili also sell my stock of Cattle and
Horses, consisting of about* 1000 head of cattle, the
majorit}- of which are one. two, three and four-
year-old steers, seven Short-horn bulls and a few
Short-horn heifers aud cows. The remainder of
the cattle are young cows and calves, some of
which are superior milkers. Nearly all of my
young cattle are half and three-quarter bloods.
There are about forty head of mares and colts,
some very fine brood mares. I will lease all to-
gether, or the pastures separately from the farm
and dwelling. I will also sell my farming imple-
ments and work stock. I respectfully invite all
persons wishing to avail themselves of "this oppor-
tunity to visit and inspect the premises. For
