THE CITY.
Inquest Held.
J ustice Brosig yesterday morning held an inquest
on a colored child of George Thomas, about eight
months old. Upon the evidence that was rendered
the jury found that death was caused by convul-
sions.
Meetinj Called.
Judge Austin. President of the Board of School
Trustees, has called a meeting for Wednesday af-
ternoon at 5 o'clock, at Colonel Denson's office.
Matters pertaining to the public schools will be
donsidered.
Good Travel.
The Galveston, Houston and Henderson train
yesterday afternoon took out seventy-five passen-
gers. Travel on both roads is reported to have
been heavy during the past ten days. Quite a
number of " summer birds " are flying homeward.
The Combination Picnie.
The proposition to hold a combination picnic at
Dickinson some time between bow and the 1st of
September has been favorably received both here-
and in Houston. Mr. Hamp Cook, of the Light
Guard, was in the city Sunday to confer with some
of the military here, and yesterday afternoon a
fentleman from this city went up to Houston to
urther arrange for the affair.
Two in One Day.
Justice Brosig was matrimonially busy yester-
day. In the forenoon he w'as called upon to unite
W. A. Wylie and Miss Victoria Fuller in the holy
bonds of matrimony, whioh duty he discharged in
most admirable style. In the afternoon Mr.
Michael Jordan and Mrs. Mary Borman were also
united in a similar union by his honor. Both cere-
monies took place at his office.
Rate Meeting.
Messrs. H. G. Thojupson, of the Texas and Pa-
cific ; C. B. Gray, of the Houston and Texas Cen-
tral; B. W. McCulIough, of the International and
Great Northern, and representatives of the two
roads centering here are engaged in the discussion
of freight rates for their respective lines. Their
sessions are always of the star chamber order, and
consequently inaccessible to the news gatherer.
Sudden Death.
Sunday morning, at Crockett, Marcus Dickinson,
a colored barber, formerly of this city, where he
was well known, fell dead as he was entering the
doorway of his residenoe. Heart disease is sup-
posed to have been the cause. He had been out a
short distance from the house, and returning, was
walking somewhat rapidly but not enough to have
overheated him. His remains were brought here
yesterday afternoon for burial.
An Increase Demanded.'
The laborers on New York wharf yesterday
morning addressed a communication to Captain J.
M. Sawyer, agent of the Mallory line, asking an in-
crease of pay from forty to fifty cents an hour for
day work, and a proportionate raise for night
work. Captain Sawyer replied that if others were
paying tho increased rate he would do likewise; he
tad no desire to make his men work for less than
others were getting. The laborers, satisfied with
his fairness, went to work.
The University Canvass.
Captain F. D. Wilkes, of Llano, and Judge J. C.
Matthews, of Lampasas, spent yesterday in the
city, leaving on the afterno«n train for San An-
tonio, in the interest of the candidacy of Lampasas
for the University location. Mr. O. S. Eaton, of
this city, leaves thie afternoon for Eastern and
Northern Texas, to canvass before the people the
claims of the same place. Verily the 6th of Sep-
tember election is waxing warm.
The Santa Fe.
Track-laying on the Fort Worth branch of the
Santa Fe has reached the Brazos river, about
seventy-seven miles beyond Temple, and about
nine miles abowe Morgan, which, tho way, will
be opened for business in a few days. The work
of bridging she river is now going on. It will be
spanned by aa iron structure similar to the other
bridges on the road. Grading on the other side of
the river will be pushed ahead, while the construc-
tion of the bridge is temporarily delaying the put-
ting down of rails.
Picnic at Dickinson.
Two coacSies, comforta'oiy filled with the "Har-
mony Twenties" and their friends, left the city
Sunday inarming over the Galveston. Houston and
Henderson to Dickinson Grove, where the day
was pleasantly spent in the enjoyment of
a picnic and dance. The greatest degree
«f enjoyment was had in various Measures
and pastimes, ia which music and dancing formed
& conspicuous part. Prizes of different kinds were
awarded, not after the usual voting methods, but
by the judgment of the committees of the club.
The party returned in the evening well pleased
with the trip, and all thanking Mr. C. F. Hildebrand
for the excellent manner in which he had dis-
charged the duties of his stewardship.
Troubles of an Ex-Ualvestonian.
The Chicago Tribune, of a recent date, reports
the arrest in New York, and return to that city, of
Benjamin H. Seligman, charged with the embez-
zlement of $2500 while deputy sheriff of the
county. To the Tribune reporter he admitted
Ids defalcation, setting his fall down to
speculations in grain. He, however, expressed
confidence in his ability to get free through the aid
of his wife and the leniency of the sheriff who suf-
fered by his acts. On this soore, however, the
Tribune says he will miss his calculation, as his
wife is strongly against him on account of his
treatment of teer. while in tho heart of the sheriff
there is no leniency.
Seligman at one time lived in Galveston, where
he was secretary of the Home Insurance and
Banking Company.
Marino Movements.
The steamship St. Mary arrived from Morgan
City Sunday, and went to Clinton the same day,
returning to this port last evening.
The steamship Hutchinson arrived from Indianola
Sunday, and went to Morgan City.
The schooners George W. Lochner and Nellie
Bowers sailed for Mobile Sunday.
The bark Lepanto sailed for Pensacola to-day.
The bark Monontico arrived from Mobile yester-
"fne steamship Aransas arrived from Corpus
Christi yesterday, and is stfll at the wharf.
The steamship Colorado, from New York, ar-
rived outside last evening.
Barge No. 1 brought 230^ bales of cotton from
Houston.
The brig W. J. Phillips, Montelin, will sail this
morning for Mobile, with a cargo of 10,000 bushels
of oats. ,
The steamboat George W. Thomas came in Sun-
day from the Brazos with a general cargo, in which
were seven bales of cotton.

der the reverse side, and altogether the workman-
ship of the charms evidences high art even as long
ago as 875 years. The custom duties of this in-
heritance from the fatherland amounted to nearly
$50.
The Five Per Cents.
A representative of The News met Alderman
Mensing yesterday morning and asked him con-
cerning the prospects of floating the 5 per cent,
bonds. He answered that while at Niagara Falls
he and Mr. Kopperl held a conversation with Mr.
George S. Coe, president of the National Bank
Association and president of the American Ex-
change Bank, who stated that if the bond was
a good one, well secured, it ought to be sold at
par. and if it was not a good bond, it was not
worth anything. Mr. Kopperl, who is still in New
York, is looking closely after the interests of the
city in this particular. The Finance Committee
here are not idle in the meantime, but are doing
all that, at this time, can be done in the primises.
In this connection a remark made to a Ne'
representative yesterday by a gentleman
known in financial circles is given as possf"
dicating a temper on this subject. Speal
floating the new issue, he said: "It is qui'
sible that capitalists will urge before taking,
bonds the settlement of disputed and liti
claims against the city. In that event the 1 ,
of Aldermen should not hesitate to comproi
every one of them, and doing so would thereby
save money in securing the lower rate of interest."

HOUSTON KEPORTORIAL NOTES.
The New Comet.
For an evening or two past the stranger in the
heavens has been visible to the eye of those Gal-
vestonians who have cared to look for it. Not so
pretentious in its proportions as its prede-
cessor, discovered in June last, it yet has
tail enough to make a considerably huge score
if it should happen to switch it around in this
direction. The comet discoverer at Dallas,
by the way, who saw " a new comet" a few even-
ings since, was evidently looking at this one, which
will be visible to the naked eye perhaps a week
longer.
It was first reported by the observer in charge of
Ann Arbor observatory, and was announced in a
telegram to Professor Swift, of Warner observa-
tory. It was then in R. A. 5.48, Dec. -|- 38.45, not a
freak distance from the point at which the comet
was discovered, June 22, in the constellation
Auriga.
Having been visible only to good telescopes for
more than a month, it has come to its nearest ap-
proach to the earth, and is now distinctly visible to
the naked eye in the N. W. heavens, about 20 de-
grees west, and somewhat below the Great Dip-
per. and is almost in a line with the two stars that
point toward the North Star. It sets about 9:30
p. m. I* is not visible in tlie morning, and is mov-
ing rapidly westward.
The Order of Railway Conductors.
The first annual election of officers of Houston
Division No. 7, of the order of Railway Conductors,
took place Sunday, when the following selections
were made: Frank Montgomery, G., C. and S. F.,
Chief Conductor; C. B. Leslie, I. and G. N., Assist-
ant Chief Conductor; Charles Oder, I. and G. N.,
Senior Conductor of Ceremonies; Wm. Register.H.,
and T. C., Junior Conductor of Ceremonies; W. P.
Mibe, Texas Central, Inside Sentinel; P. Carigan,
H. E. and W. T., Outside Sentinel; W. H. George,
G., H. and H.. Seoretary and Treasurer; Frank
Whitney, Texas Western, Past Chief Conductor;
W. H. George, representative to the Grand Divi-
sion.
This division of the order was organized on the
27lh of April last, and now has twenty-seven mem-
bers, embracing conductors of the Galveston, Hen-
derson and Houston, Santa Fe, International,
Texas and New Orleans, Sunset, ,Houston and
Texas Central, Texas Central, Texas Western, and
Houston East and West Texas roads. It is ip a
flourishing condition, its members all being active
and alive to its interests. It is beneficiary in its
character, caring for the sick or suffering of its
membership and paying a death policy of
$2000. Beyond this it has a further good
point, that no man who traffics in
liquor can belong to it, and any member who is
found drunk on duty is summarily dealt with. The
year of the order begins on the first of next month,
which was the reason for the election being held
Sunday, so soon after the perfection of an organi-
zation. C. T. McClellan, the first chief conductor,
having been promoted to be master of transporta-
tion on the Texas-Pacific resigned a short while
since. The meeting of the grand division of the
United States will be held at Buffalo, New York,
beginning October 4th, and will be attended by
representative George and others from other divi-
sions in Texas.
An Ancient Heirloom.

No matter what the mouth's disease—

fruit and exposure produce them, and Pkrry
Davis's Pain-Killer cures them. It acts with
wonderful rapidity, and is perfectly harmless. No

ternal uses it has no equal.

veston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway yes-
terday : 1064 bales; Houston 315, Galveston 447, New
Orleans 302; one car kegs, San Antonio to St. Louis;
one ear kegs, Flatonia to St. Louis; one car horses,
San Antonio to New Orleans.
The Klotlng in Orange.
The rioting in Orange still continues and the
wildest excitement prevails. About 8 o'clock last
night the Orange Kirtes, considering everything
quiet and there being no visible signs of any in-
tended outbreak, disbanded and returned to their
homes, leaving the jail unguarded. About one
hour later an armed party of citizens surrounded
the jail and demanded its surrender. Deputv
Sheriff Ranee Jett, who was in charge, seeing that
it was useless to contend with the overpowering
force yielded up the jail. The invaders at once en-
tered and took out Sam Saxon, the ringleader of
the negro desperadoes, and another negro, said to
be an accomplice. Saxon is the negro who escaped
after the affray last week, but was so closely
pursued by his hunters that he came np
on Sunday morning and gave himself up
and was placed in the jail for safe-keeping.
Upon being taken out of the jail by the mob,
Saxon's courage failed him, and he dropped on his
knees at the deputy sheriff's feet, and throwing his
arms around Sheriff Jett's legs, implored God's
iercy upon his soul. Recognizing that all hope
as gone, and that they were to be killed, Saxon
nd the other negro became frantic in their efforts
io escape, and their terrifying yells of " murder "
;ould be heard at a great distance. The exasperated
citizens endeavored to quiet them, but to no avail,
and at once filled their bodies full of buckshot. A
general stampede was made by the congregations
of the various churches, which were at worship,
and the ministers fled their churches without a
benediction.
Some startling confessions were made by Saxon
before his death. He testified that he had been
paid by Charles Delano to steal a carload of cattle
last fall from the Louisiana Western Railroad, and
that a certain woman connected with the despera-
does had offered him $500 to burn the town, that
the spoils of a plot to which she was a party, might
be reaped by herself and confederates. He at-
tempted to accomplish this end but failed, only
succeeding in burning one house and store, last
fall.
A trial of Charles Delano was to have taken place
at 9 o'clock this morning, at which Judge Lynch
was to preside, and it is probable that by this time
his neck will have baen broken. Many of his ac-
complices are still at ltrge, including bis four
brothers-in-law, the Harrises, and OL Delano and
two negroes, but they are being trailed down and
will, in all probability, be captured and suffer the
penalty inflicted by an enraged community.
Justice's Court.
The following cases were disposed of to-day by
Justice May: Antonio Radish, assault; fined $5 and

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
Recent geological explorations in Russia are
reported to show the existence in that empire of
phosphate deposits of sufficient extent to supply
the wants of all Europe for an indefinite period.
Experiments by M. Pasteur in vaccination for
splenic fever have proved entirely successful. The
new vaccine matter can be cultivated at pleasure,
transported without injury and preserves the ani-
mals into which it is introduced from a mortal dis-
ease.
C. Rene, of Stettin, claims to have discovered
that if wood be exposed to the action of a heated
current of pure oxygen it becomes proof against
moisture and changes of temperature, and is es-
pecially adapted to the manufacture of musical
instruments.
Ninety-two pupils have been enrolled in the Sun-
day Science School, of Edinburgh, Scotland, and
from November to July last the institution had an
average attendance of sixty young people whose
late business hours prevented their attendi ng the
evening classes.
The martyrs to science in Africa during the pres-
ent century have been very numerous. This fact
is graphically indicated on a recent map of Afri-
ca, by MM. Duveyrier and Cortambert, which
gives the name and date of each explorer in the
locality where he died.
Cyclones are observed to extend over a circle
from 100 to 500 or sometimes 1000 miles in diameter,
in the West Indies they are sometimes as small as
100 miles in diameter, but dilate to 600 to 1000 miles
on reaching the Atlantic. They sometimes, how-
ever. contract, increasing greatly in violence dur-
ing the process.
As upwards of five hundred tons of sugar made
from starch are daily placed in the market, Profes-
sor Wiley suggests the desirability of giving the
substance a distinctive name. He proposes the
name amylose, from Latin amylum, starch.
"Amylose" will include all sugars and sirups
made from starch.
According to a French entomologist the wool of
different countries may be distinguished in market
by the varieties of beetles which inhabit the bales.
He has identified forty-seven species in Australian
wool, fifty-two in South African wool, thirty in
South American wool, sixteen in Spanish wool and
six in Russian wool.
Some remarkable and suggestive peculiarities
are found in a human jaw-bone from the Schipka
Cave of Moravia. Stone implements found with
the bone indicate that it belongs to the stone age.
In development the jaw is that of a child, but it is
of great size. Its shape indicates the absence of
any chin, and has other peculiarities found in
greater degree in the higher apes.
Some interesting observations concerning the
comparative longevity of men and women in Eu-
rope have been made by the director of the Vienna
statistical bureau. Out of 102,8S1 individuals who
have passed the age of ninety years, only 42,528
are men, and 60,303 are women. He also finds that
there are but 141 male centenarians to 241 women
who have reached a hundred years of age.
Experimental measurements of the temperature
of the body have led M. E. Villari to the conclusion
that the lowest temperature in man, ensuing after
a period of rest, is 98.4 degrees; that the tempera-
ture increases, under the influence of a positive,
ascending effort, to 100.6 degrees; under the influ-
ence of a descending effort to 100.3 degrees; that it
increases after any exertion, but more after an
ascending than after a descending one; and that
the chemical actions of the organism are aug-
mented after every movement.
The researches of Professor Flower, the well-
known English anatomist, show some interesting
results in relation to the comparative sizes of the
heads of different races of people. The largest
normal skull he ever measured had a capacity of
as much as 2075 cubic centimeters; the smallest,
belonging to an individual of the nearly extinct
people inhabiting central Ceylon, meat ired only
960 cubic centimeters. The largest average ca-
pacity of any human head he has found belongs to
a race of long, fiat-headed people on the west coast
of Africa. Although of small stature, the Lap-
landers and Esquimaux have very large skulls, the
average measurement of the latter being 1546. The
English skull, of lower grades, measures 1542; the
Japanese, 1486; the Chinese, 1424; the modern Ital-
ian, 1475; the ancient Egyptian, 1464; the Hin-
doo, 1306.
The attempts to explain the tails of comets have
been various: A new effort- to solve the problem
has been made by M. Picart, as follows: Tho sun,
the stars, nebulse and comets are composed not only
of ponderable matter in the gaseous state,
but of imponderable matter — the "luminous
ether revealed, in the case of the sun, by the
zodiacal light, and in that of nebulas, by their
irregular forms contrary to gravitation. A come t
far from the sun appears in spheroidal form, due
to gravitation of its ponderable matter—its lumi-
nous ether being then invisible, because of its dis-
tance and feeble light. But on nearing the
sun, repulsion being a characteristic
property of luminous ether, the ether
of the sun repels that of the comet, and
thus forms the tail. The form and direction of the
tail are thus quite independent of gravitation; and
the comet's enormous velocity ceases to be a diffi-
culty, as it is in theories which suppose the matter
of the tail to be ponderable. This explanation may
account for the comets' tails, but tha mystery of
the luminous ether remains.
Physically the nearest approach to man in the
jower animals is the anthropoid ape; but in intel-
ligence ants seem to rank highest in the scale be-
low man. Reference has often been made to the
habits of species of these insects in conducting
battles, capturing slaves, and their power of recog-
nizing friends and of communicating among them-
selves. Various entomologists have shown them
to possess reasoning powers quite surprising. One
of their most remarkable habits is the practice of
many species of keeping aphides, as men keep
milch-cows, to supply a nutritious secretion.
Huber first observed this habit, and noticed that
the ants collected the eggs of the aphides and
treated them with as much apparent care as they
treated their own. When these eggs hatch
out, the aphides are usually kept and fed by the
ants. Sometimes the stems and branches on which
they live are incased by the ants in clay walls, in
which doors are left large enongh to admit the
ants but too small to permit the escape of the ap-
hides. The latter are therefor imprisoned in veri-
table stables. The sweet secretion is yielded to the
ant by a process of "milKing," which consists in
the ants stroking the antennae of the aphides.
Sir John Lubbock has found that the eggs of the
aphides are laid in October on the food-plants of
the insects, when they are carefully collected by
the ants and protected in their nests from the cold
of winter. The newly-hatched insects are then, in
May, restored to the plants on which they feed, and
are closely tended by the ants.

Dallas, August 21,1881.—On the 1st day
of July a miniature tornado ran through the
city, doing considerable damage notably, de-
stroying the Congregational Church and kill-
ing Mrs. Brown. It was, an hour later, fol-
lowed by a sharp thunder storm and a heavy
rainfall. This was some fifty-one days ago.
Since then no rain has fallen in sufficient
^quantity to allay the dust. A more severe or
prolonged drouth has not been seen in North
Texas since 1860. I doubt if the vertical sun
of the tropics has been more intense. The heat
has been simply awfil. I keep a ther-
mometef hanging on the north gallery, and at
no time between the hours of 8 a. m. and 7 p. m.
has it indicated less than 100°. On last
Sunday it went to 110, Thursday 108, Friday
106, and to-day it stands at the last figure. Dry
is not the word. The earth is everywhere
cracked open. In digging the foundation of
the new Presbyterian church the ground was
found void of any moisture to the depth of
four feet. Of course nothing with a tap-root
of less length could live at such a time in such
a soil through such a drouth, and hence
everything in the way of garden or field crops
is stone dead, with one exception,
AND THAT IS COTTON.
The sea-weed of the Florida reefs is grown
upon the surface of the water, and has its reg-
ular harvest time. That time is when the
winter of the Arctic Ocean has become so se-
vere it is impossible for the whale to find
enough food to live upon. It then leaves its
native waters and goes to the Azores Islands,
where it never fails, at this time, to find an
abundant supply of the Florida sea-weed
reared for and floated to its rendezvous by
Providence with perfect regularity and ease.
It's a crop that is beyond the contingencies of
drouth, as it is never shipwrecked en route to
market.
" The cotton crop is a failure," is a glib ex-
pression. It is now upon every lip in North-
Texas. Even the town picauinny, who has
been loafing all summer and expecting and
looking forward to the picking season with anti-
cipations of making plenty of money, exclaims
in despair, " de kotton krop am clean gone up."
The merchant says it is a failure. The farmer
pronounces it a "failure in tones louder than
these, than all. And for all this it is not.
like th9 sea-need; it never fails, and for the
reason in the economy of Providence, it can not
afford to fail for even a single season, and is
not and will not be a failure this nor any
future time. In making provision for cloth-
ing, and for the health and comfort of man-
kind, otily two main articles were created by
the Creator: textiles and skins of wildanimals.
The latter were in sufficient quantity in the
early ages of the world, but are not so now.
The chief nomination in textiles is the cotton
plant. It is so constructed that its life, its
growth, and its maturity do not hang upon
those uncertain possibilities and probabili-
ties as grain and esculents do. Hence
we find plenty of cotton raised whether the
season be rainy or dry—whether excessive
rains fall each week of the spring or summer,
or whether none at all from November till
October. There is not the slightest danger of
an abundant supply of cotton fabrics being not
found in every market of the world at any
future date. At $1 per pound it would be the
cheapest clothing we could wear—cheaper than
flax, silk or furs. And as we can not afford to
pay for anything else, and could not get
enough if we could, the cotton crop will never
be a total failure as long as time lasts.
THE ACTUAL SITUATION.
The average crop of North Texas counties
will be 35 per cent, less than last year. Some
are above and some below, but that will be
the average in the gross aggregate. The plant
is boiling and fruiting well, but is small. The
staple is excellent, and that arriving in the
market bright, clean and beautiful, with
nearly every bale of strict middling or mid-
dling, and readily bring 10 to 10}-£ cents.
The prospects are that the bulk of the crop
will be marketed earlier than—since the last
drouth. It will all open at once, be picked
at once, and be brought to town at once.
There is plenty of labor in the country to easily
master the work.
THE RAILROAD KSW9.
During the week thirty-one carloads of
British iron was received by the Texas trunk,
which will be carried to the end of the track,
at Kauffman, and put down beyond as soon as
the graders shall have prepared the road-bed
for it. Tickets are being issued to attend the
Kauffman barbacue next Wednesday in honor
of the completion of the road. Several train-
loads of people will go down.
For some reason or other the Chicago, Texas
and Mexican Central is slow about getting
iron. None has come to hand yet, although
the road-bed is ready for it tor a distance of
nearly forty miles.
The subscription committee of the St. Louis
and Texas Narrow Gauge have not yet finished
that work. The last report from them is they
had raised about $36,000. It may be more.
They are still quite cenfldent of getting the
whole amount. This is the last dollar Dallas
will ever donate to a railroad. I pity the next
committee that tries it.
Nothing from the Texas and Pacific front.
The track-layers are undoubtedly at the Pecos
by this date. You perhaps know better than
I do, for it is a constitutional principle with a
railroad man to tell no one about him any-
thing. His boss«s have less use for a garru-
lous agent than they have for the average legis-
lator. And which is right? None of us like
our household talking too much outside.
THE WATERWORKS.
Although the City Council a week ago re-
solved to build its own waterworks, the town
press is still lumbered with dreary and fright-
ful literature upon that subjeot. These docu-
ments aggregate a bore something on the order
of the terrific. If turned upon the ground and
concentrated they would bore out an artesian
well deep and broad enough to deluge the town
—would have a second Hoosac tunnel. But I
am like the Italian who fought fifty duels in
denial that Tasso did not write thus and so,
and then admitted he hadnt read Tasso, nor a
single line of him. As a gen-
eral proposition it is admitted that
water was made to make
crops and weaken whisky, and waterworks
for the purpose of forming rings and beating
town governments out of their cash. An ex-
isting set is always opposed with great una-
nimity by all who are failing to get any of the
chicken-pie, and when they get in those who
are turned out raise with great enthusiasm and
in turn the banner-cry of "cheat," "hum-
bug," " swindlers," " extortioners," and so on
to the end of the book. Yea, verily, "and
this is also vanity," and much vexation of tha
spirit of the man who is not sharp enough to
go in with either party. In the language of
the classic lore of Sir William Arp, "ail of
whom I am one of which." It is hoped the
rival factions will at least guarantee enough
water to carry oij regular baptizing.
commercial notes.
Provisions of all kinds, character, shades
and condition have grown very high. The
sums demanded make the old Texan shinning
around the market-house and green grocer for
a day's rations wish he was back <to the ante-
railroad era. The drouth has killed every
green thing as did the locusts the crops of the
Egyptians. The bill of fare of Dallas now
consists of, dish No. 1. beef soup; No. 3, beef-
steak; No. 3, roast beef; No. 4, stewed beef;
No. 5, boiled beef; No. 6, baked beef; No. 7,
fried beet; No. 8,parboiled beef; No. 9, hashed
beef; No. 10, fricasseed;beef; No. 11, beef in
every style and at all hours upon the Euro-
pean plan.
The grain market is very strong. Corn,
oats and whe/at closed 3 cents higher Saturday
upon opening quotations of Monday, and It is
well-nigh certain corn and oats will still rise
30 or 35 cents above present quotations before
the cock crows for Christmas. And yet train
loads continue to leave ear depot every day.
This country will ba importing it before long,
and then Rome will howl. Ko money has ever
yet been found by a Texas brother put back in
the mouth of a sack shipped by a Kansas
Joseph. The Josephs don't live at that point
of the compass.
The demand for Western meat is very
heavy. Something over 11000 per day are
expended for this one article of prime neces-
sity with all people who partake of meat of
animals of the cloven hoof and do not chew
the cud. When bacon rises to 15 cents per
pound it's economy to be a Jew. All farmers
who refuse to raise hogs ought to embrace
that faith.

Niagara Illuminated With a Splendid
Electric Light.
The new sixteen electric lights, each of two
thousand candle-power, are in position, and,
combined with the electric lights of the Pros-
pect Park Company, illuminate the Falls most
grandly. The American Falls looked more
beautiful than ever. The dark shadows from
the Prospect Park lights have been overcome
and illuminated from those on the Canada shore.
The lights reach with striking brilliancy Table
Rock Point, and three-fourths the way across
tlie Horseshoe Falls. The deep green waters,
tinged with the white foam as it comes tum-
bling over the Horseshoe, shooting up great
volumes of struggling spray, with ten thousand
candle-power lights reflecting upon it, is a scene
far too grand to be described. Terrapin Tower
Point is the only weak spot on the whole scene,
but Superintendent Rhodes will at once add
three lights, or more if required, on the Pros-
pect House to reach that point. When these
are placed both falls will be reached at every
point, and the whole scene made perfect. This
new feature will form a great acquisition to
the Falls, and one which can not fail to be ap-
preciated by the visitors.

Danger on* Inactivity.
Inactivity of the kidneys seriously and proxi-
mately jeopardizes their health. When inactive
tliey need a stimulent. The fiery excitants of com-
merce only serve to irritate them, but they may be
safely stimulated with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, the tonic principal of v?hich serves to increase
their vitality as well. The diuretic properties of
the Bitters also serve another good purpose. It Is
by the efficient action of the kidneys mainly, that
the blood is depurated or purified. The Bitters, by
giving to their secretive and discharging functions
a healthy impetus, serves as a purifier of the vital
current, removing from it those impurities which
beget rheumatism, dropsy and other maladies. It
endows these organs with vigor, and prevents them
from lapsing into a state of disease.

will find that these cigarette-smoking
youths have impaired digestions, small and poor
muscles,irritable tempers and a lack of capacity
for sustained effort of any kind, and I believe
you will find that they do not succeed in life.
The men who win are the men of strong phy-
sique. A cigarette smoking boy will not make
a strong man. These are some of the evils
which the individual brings upon himself.
But the mischief doe* not stop with the indi-
vidual, but is transmitted to his offspring.
Nervous peculiarities are just as readily trans-
mitted as physical peculiarities. The acquired
irritability, imperfect development and loss of
nervous force of the father is inherited by the
child, who in turn further impairs his health
by the same process, so that in the course of
three or four generations there must be a great
deterioration in the race. The sale of cigarettes
to boys should be prohibited by law."
THE WORST FORM IN WHICH TOBACCO IS USED.
" About half the cases of nervous break-
down in men," said Dr. Horatio C. Wood, of
1631 Arch street, " are the result of tho use of
tobacco,- and the uee of tobacco is much worse
for boys than it is for men. I have in my
mind now one of our best boating meu, who
left off rowing and training and went back to
his cigarettes, and now he is all broken up with
heart troubles. There is a peculiar action of
the heart caused by the excessive use of tobac-
co. known as the ' tobacco heart,' which the
elder Dr. Popper made a special study of and
usatl to lecture u pon. I have no positive infor-
mation on the subject, but I believe eiTarattas
are the worst form in which tobacco is ussd.
and I believe their sale to boys is prohibited iu
France. In addition to the poison in the to-
bacco the cigarette smoker absorbs a certain
amount of the einpyreumatic oil of paper,
which is an irritant to the mucous membranes,
causing catarrh. But this is not the worst
effect. The action of the heart is depressed
and the whole system debilitated. Official in-
vestigation in the schools of France proved
that the cigarette-smoking students were much
behind the others. These vita! defects are sure
to be transmitted to the offspring. Any tran-
sient state can be transmitted. A child begot
bv a man who is drunk is apt to be idiotic.

they want to smoke they will find a way."
depresses the action of the heart.
" There are some men," said Dr. George
Morehouse, of 237 South Mnth street, " whom
tobacco does not hurt a bit, some that it hurts
a great deal, and some whom it benefits. I
think one of the greg.t evils of the tobacco
habit is that it develops an appetite for in-
toxicating liquor. While tobacco de-
presses, alcohol stimulates, and the one
counteracts the effect of the other. Smoke
too much, until your cigar begins to lose its
pleasant effect, it don't taste right and you
want a drink. Now, if the effect of whisky
was the same as tobacco, you would not want
any whisky, but the whisky relieves the de-
pression caused by the tobacco, and when you
have had a drink you want another cigar, and
when you have smoked that you want an-
other drink, and so on.
"In the young and growing the strength
and integrity of the heart is important to
the full development of the body and the
maintenance of its functions in health.
In the young the heart is taxed
not only by the maintenance of daily
life, but in the extension of all the tissues of the
body in growth. It is especially necessary,
therefore, in growth and during development
that the heart should not be restrained in its
functions. Tobacco depresses the action of the
heart with disastrous results to the whole
system. There is a strong tendency to excess
in the young—they think they can not die—
and the only limitation to their indulgence is
sickness. The inhaling of cigarette smoke is
injurious in two ways—first, as a local irritant
to the mucous membranes, and second, the
principle of the tobacco is absorbed in larger
quantities and produces a more prominent
effect."
the cause of sore throat.
" I can do nothing better for you," said Dr.
J. Solis Cohen, of 1431 Walnut street, who con-
fines his practice to treatment of throat and
lung diseases, "than to refer you to a little
book I have published on ' The Throat and the
Voice.' Here I say," said the doctor, taking
up the book from his table;
"If a smoker is subject to attacks of sore
throat and is too wedded to his weed to di-
vorce himself from it, he should smoke a long-
stemmed pipe in preference to any other con-
trivance, because it renders the smoke cooler
by the time it reaches the throat. The next
safest thing is to smoke a long, clear cigar, not
much more than half of which should be used,
because the remainder becomes warmer and
more loaded with the poisonous products of
the combustion. A short pipe is not as safe as
a cigar, and a cigarette is the most injurious
of all. The habits of inhaling the tobacco
smoke, of swallowing it or of passing it out by
the nose are all likely to lead to the disease of the
parts over which tho smoke is forced. Indeed,
there is a peculiar condition of the throat pro-
duced by tobacco smoking which almost any
slave to the practice can observe in himself. It
consists in a series of opalescent or milky-look-
ing passages at the inside of the corners of the
mouth and lips, and some other localities, due
to a raising of the outermost layer of the mu-
cuous membrane. These spots are known as
tha milky patches of smokers, and are some-
times mistaken for a very unfortunate consti-
tutional form ofsore throat."
" The reason that cigarette smoking is the
worst of all," added Dr. Cohen, " is that it is
smoked closer, and there is nothing to hold the
poisonous oils and alkaloids, which are taken
into the mouth and so into the system."
indioxstion and impaired vision.
"There is no question," said Dr. William
Pepper, Provost of the University of Penn-
sylvania, "about tobacco being injurious to
all growing bodies. There are some objections
that apply particularly to cigarettes. The
first is the facility with which they can be
used. The student going from his room to
class, the clerk on the way from the store to
bank, will light a cigarette where he would
not think of a cigar. Thus they smoke a
?reat many more than thev are aware of.
i'he use becomes excessive. Least objection-
able for use in smoking in a well-made pipe,
and next comes a good cigar, but by
far the worst form in which
tobacco can be used is the cigarette.
The reason is that in no other way is
the consumption so rapid, and this, with the
looseness of the tobacco, fulfills all the con-
ditions for the easy absorption of the poisonous
>rinciple. The smoke is inhaled in large
jreaths, and a great deal is taken into the
lungs. If the tobacco is rank and bad it makes
it so much worse. The effect is seen in the
disordered action of the heart, an impaired
vision, trouble of indigestion, and sometimes
ulceration of the throat. The effect of tobacco
upon all persons under twenty-one years of
age is very bad. If they use it a little they
are somewhat injured in their constitution; if
they use it considerably they are injured more;
if they use it very much they are injured seri-
ously. Cigarette smoking can not but be re-
garded as a verr great evil, if for nothing else
because it leads persons to smoke at times
when they should not do so under any circum-
stances. After meals is the proper time to
smoke, if it is to be done at all."

Sapping the Life or the Youth of Amer-
ica—What Physicians Say about .It.
(Philadelphia Times.]
" I am glad to hear that the Times is going to
take up the subject," said Dr. Roberts Bartho-
low, of 1509 Walnut street, well known as a
specialist in nervous disorders. "It is high
lime that something was done to put a stop to
this frightful evil, which is stunting the growth
and ruining the health of thousands of boys.
It is just horrible to see these boys—little fel-
lows, many of them not more than eight or
ten years old, not street boys, but well dressed
and carefully nurtured boys—gathered in
knots in some corner, where they think they
will not be observed, learning to smoke. Pa-
rents sse their sons getting thin and yellow
and irritable, the family doctor is called in
and without going to the root of the evil pre-
scribes tonics which do no perceptible good.
" The prodigious increase of cigarette
smoking among boys in the last few years,"
continued Dr. Bartholow, getting up from his
chair and walking up and down his handsome
parlor in the energy of his indignation, " is an
evil which will tend to the deterioration of
the race if it is not checked. But it is not
hard to account for. Boys are very imitative.
They follow the fashion with promptness and
zeal. Cigarettes are the rage at Harvard. It
is the correct thing to smoke these poisonous
little rolls of tobacco and paper. Whatever is
fashionable in a great school like Harvard is
sure in a very short time to be fashionable
among young men and boys all over the
country. Another great cause of the mischief
is that boys are very fond of imitating their
elders. Smoking in public places ought to be
discouraged. There ought to be a sentiment
created against it, and the press is the power to
create such a sentiment. Every man when he
smokes in public ought to think that he is en-
couraging Some boy to smoke. The boy will
smoke a cigarette, imagining that he will get
less tobacco in that way, and ignorant of the
fact that cigarette smoking is the most per
nicious form in which tobacco is used. To-
bacco in any form is a great injury to a grow-
ing boy, and the fashion of inhaling the smoke
and then forcing it out through the nose is
deadly in its effects. It causes catarrh in the

ment, though ill health forced him to resign
after being there two years. He then went tfo
Australia, where he had an estate, but, being
of roving habits, he soon ran through a fortune
there and returned to the United States. He
undertook to run a line of steamers on the
Mississippi, but was unsuccessful, and, at the
time he met his death, was makin^arrange-

Comets and Tlirir Tails.

Magazine the nature and origin of comets'
tails. He believes the tails to be electrical.
"A body," he says, "rushing round tho sun in
cometary proximity must be most intensely
charged with electricity. A body in such con-
dition will throw out luminous discharges,
preferably in a direction opposite to that from
which its excitation is received, provided it
can find their particles or media in a condition
favorable for their reception. Thijs I think it
very probable that the tail of a comet is such a
discharge from the intensely excited and con-
sequently disturbed nucleus." Why comets
sometimes have tails and sometimes" not de-
pends on Williams's theory upon the abund-
ance or scarcity of meteoric matter or
cosmic dust surrounding the sun. "As
our solar system," argues Air. Wil-
liams, "is traveling bodily through space at
the rate of about 400,000 miles per day, we en-
counter regions that vary as regards the me-
teoric matter they contain and the tempera-
ture they have acquired from the perennial
radiations of the countless suns of the universe.
Such regions afford variable supplies of solar
fuel, and wherever the supply exceeds tho
average, conditions more favorable for the ex-
tensions of the tails of comets are presented.
If this is the case, a comet otherwise telescopic
or barely visible, like Halley's in 1835, may be-
come a flaming visitor, like Halley's was be-
fore, or resemble those that startled the world
in 1811, 18-13, 1859, and in a less degree this
year. Thus the flaming long-tailed comet, the
hot weather, and the ' comet vintages ' may
occur together, not as cause and effects, but as
coincident effects of one common cause."

CHIEF OF THE CHOCTA.WS.
Jerome T. Carpenter, One of the Vic-
tims of the Recent Duel ill the Choc-
taw Nation—A life fail of Daring and
Adventures—A Child of Every Crime,
a Citizen ef (he World and the Prince
Chief of the Choctawi.
(.Chicago Tribune.!
A Tribune reporter had a conversation last
evening with Leflore Carpenter, of the Indian
Territory, a cousin of J. T. Carpenter, prince
chief of the Choctaw Nation, who was men-
tioned in yesterday's dispatches as having been
killed in a duel in the Creek Nation, as had
also his opponent, Colonel Amos Price. Mr.
Carpenter had met the unfortunate victim of
the code duello only a week ago, and was
shocked at the sad intelligence. His intimate
acquaintances with the checkered career
of the dead duelist will be of special interest.
" I knew him well," said Mr. Carpenter,
and his life was a checkered one indeed.
Jerome T. Carpenter was born in Jacksoii,
Hinds county, Miss., and at the time of his
death w as only thirty-five years of age. He
was the third son of Count Armand Henri
Carpenter, a scion of one of the most illustri-
ous families of France, and his mother was
Emilie Leflore, a Choctaw lady of French and
Indian extraction. She was the only daughter
of Col. Louis de Leflore, a French officer who
intermarried among the Choctaw Indians and
became their chief. Col. Leflore was the
father of four sons and one daughter, and at
the death of Louis de Leflore, his eldest son,
Greenwood Leflore became Chief of the Choc-
taws. a position he held until 1830. In that
year he made the treaty and sold the reserva-
tion in the State of Mississippi to the United
States government through President Jack-
son. When the Indians were removed to their
■resent country another brother, Brazile Le-
:lore, became their Chief.-"
" What became of the two families?"
" Both the Leflores and the Carpenters re-
mained in Mississippi, and, at the commence-
ment of the late war, were reputed to be the
wealthiest and most extensive slave.owners in
the South. Armand H. Carpenter, after mar-
riage with Miss Leflore, studied law and set-
tled in Jackson, Miss., where he was recognized
as one of the leading lawyers of the South. He
died in 1S53, leaving a widow and four sons, the
widow dying in 1800. She was survived by two
sons under age—Jerome and Surry, who, by
their mother's request, were emancipated by a
special act of the Legislature."
'Was this Jerome the one who was killed in
the duel?"
" The very identical personage. When the
war broke out he enlisted in the Southern army,
and was a private at the age of filteen years,
under General Lee, in Virginia. He was
wounded at the battle of Malvern Hill, July 15,
1862, and discharged from the army. As soon
as he got well he enlisted again, this time as a
private in General Joe Johnston's body-guard.
The general became attached to the young sol-
dier, and made him the bearer of many an im-
portant dispatch, one in particular where he
carried Johnston's last dispatch to Pemberton
before Grant got Vicksburg completely sur-
rounded."
" Was it true that he was with Maximilian?"
"Yes, after the war was ended, Jerome
went to Mexico, and, having letters of intro-
duction to the Emperor from influential
people, was placed in commission as Colonel in
Maximilian's army. He commanded the Em-
peror's body guard, and was on such intimate
terms with Maximilian that when this unfor-
tunate candidate for an imperial throne on
American soil was condemned to death, he,
too, was sentenced to a similar fate."
" How was this averted?"
"He only escaped the fate of Maximilian
and his military advisers by the intervention
of Secretary Seward. He was the youngest
officer in the army, and was reputed to be
as brave as a lion. In recognition of his
steadfast devotion to the ill-fated Maximilian,
Emperor Francis Joseph conferred upon him
the title of baron, and offered him a commis-
sion in the imperial army of Austria. He de-
clined the honor, and returned to Louisiana,
where he remained for a short time with
