Governor Madero, of Coabuila
Mexico, a lot ol carp for breed-
ing purposes.
Austin holds a municipal

tbe fence cutting question.
Secretary Baker, of the
Board of Education, finds the
average term of the public
schools in the cities the last
scholastic year to be about nine
months.
Col. Tom Ochiltree was in
Laredo the other day and had
himself interviewed by the
Times to the extent of upwards
of three columns. He never
has any objection to newspaper
notoriety.
The Greenbackers have put
their eyes on Ben Butler, and
out of pure sympathy for him,
it is supposed, are going to
make him their presidential can-
didate. Misery and helpless*
ness love company.
Ex-United States Treasurer
F. E. Spinner is in Washington,
on a brief visit from his Florida
plantation. He is in remarka-
bly good health, and can write
as rugged a looking signature
as in the palmiest days of the
history of legal tenders.
Dio Lewis' monthly for No-
vember is ^t hand. It is a val-
uable magazine and contains
much valuable information as
well as a large amount of inter
esting reading matter in the
shape of contributions by the
very best writers of the day.
The legislature in New York
next Tuesday elects a Unitec
States Senator and Conkling is
talked of again, And yet it is
said Lord Roscoe is making
$100,000 a year practicing law,
Few men would be tempted to
give this up to re-enter public
life;
Mr. W. wl Ross, north Tex
as statistical reporter for the
agricultcral department at
Washington, states that there
was about four-fifths of an aver-
age crop of cotton in north Tex
as ttt* year. The top crop
that has opened lately is gener-
ally stained.
Tsss Galveston News pub
lishes nearly a column of letters
to Capt James B. Sads, all ol
which eadorse him in tbe strong
est terms. It is hoped that
Capt Kads will become inter-
ested in the matter and that
Galveston will have deep water
aad tbe Mate a seaport worthy
of her greatness and extended
territory.
The Waco Examiner can't
get the Dallas Herald run to
its potion. The Herald men are
perverse and run the paper to
suit themselves. Doubtless the
Examiner would take a con-
tract to ran all the newspapers
ia Texas; there is* nothing like
self-confidence and the Exam-
iner has it

The commissioners' court of
Bell county has entered an or-
der authorizing the issue of
$100,000 6 per cent, county
bonds for tbe erection of a new
coarthouse. There is said to
be some opposition to the
scheme, but it is admitted that
the present courthouse is not
only unsafe but unsuitable. It
remains to be seen what shape
the opposition will take.
The friends ol Mr. Randall
who is sick in Philadelphia, now
in Washington claim that he
will be elected on the second
ballot. The Cox men claim
that both Randall and Carlisle
are making a mistake, and that
Cox will lead them both on the
first ballot. It is asserted that
the lobby is dead against Ran-
dall, from whom no favor could
possibly be expected.
Dallas Herald: Arthur is re-
ported to have commenced on
his message to congress. If
the president were celebrated
either as a thinker or writer we
might expect a good deal from
a message three or four weeks
in preparation, but we are not
likely to be dazzled with such
a good start; however, Mr. Ar-
thur is likely to give the tele-
graphers and newspapers much
to think about and worry them
There is a whole chapter of
political economy in the follow
ing pointed paragraph: Our
wool, cotton and wheat is
bought and transported three
thousand miles to Enghnd,
and is there sold from ioo to
200 per cent, less than here,
while the wages of the employes
engaged in the manufacture are
but 25 to jo per cent, less there
than here. How do our pro-
tected monopolists account for
it?

know before that the students
of the aristocratic college hail
got their work down to such
nicety and perfection. But
there is no place like the great
Harvard when it comes to pol
ishing and fitting a young man
for the stern duties of life. The
Budget of Boston thus refers to
one of the special features o
tbe Harvard classical education:
"Take the whole caravan of
Harvard exquisites and trot
them out on the race-track, our
word for it, the best judge on
Ihc stand will not be able to de-
tect the slightest difference in
their gait. They will each raise
the foot just as high from the
ground, carry it forward to just
such a distance and place it
again on the ground at the same
angle, and this, they will tell
you, is tbe fashionable way of
walking, and that no gentleman
walks otherwise."
The passenger train oa the
Mexican National railroad was
wrecked on Tuesday night at 7
o'clock near Lajarita, station,
22 miles from Laredo. The
train was on time and was run
ning at the fate of 22 miles an
hour, when all of a sudden the
engine turned a complete somer-
sault and landed upside down
twenty feet from the trade; it
was followed by the express ear
and two passenger coaches.
The fireman was killed and the
engineer badly wounded. The
train was at once surrounded
by an armed band of forty Mex-
ican desperadoes and robbers.
The express car was robbed of
f$ooo in silver bullion which
was carried off on pack-mules.
A train was heard coming ia
the distance aad also a company
of soldiers. The robbers lost
no time in getting away. The
fish plates had been taken from
a couple of rails, which were
misplaced just sufficient to
throw the train off the track.
Want of time alone saved the
passengers from being robbed.

—The Austin street car com-
pany is now manufacturing all
its own cars.
—In San Antonio it~"5Kly
costs ten dollars in the recor-
der's court to shoot at a street-
car driver.
—At ElPaso the school board
is considering the propriety of
introducing the Spanish Ian-
guage in the public schools.
—By the caving in of a bank
at the gravel pit in Dallas a ne-
gro laborer was instantly killed
and another negro was fatally
injured.
—The citizens of Comanche
dressed the bodies of the lynch-
ed Bailey brothers nicely and
furnished neat coffins for their
interment.
—It appears that the people
of Buffalo Gap are not satisfied
to have the county seat removed
to Abilene and that they object
to a removal of the county rec-
ords to the latter place.
—At Fort Worth the city at-
torney and recorder are deter
mined to break up gambling aad
have ordered tbe marshal to ar-
rest every man entering a gam-
bling house. The marshal re-
fuses to do so.
—Lena Gayhart, a German
girl 18 or 19 years of age, late-
ly sentenced to the penitentiary
on a charge of theft, has been
pardoned out by the Governor
to get martied. It appears that
she was wrongfully convicted.
—Mrs. Mary Eliza Welburn,
an invalid lady, formerly of
Johnson county, but recently
of Waco, and sometimes an in-
mate of the poor house, has just
received notice that she has
fallen heir to a considerable
property left by her brother in
Montana.
—At Fort Worth the city
council passed an ordinance
authorizing the city assessorand
collector to proceed at once
with the collection of the
amounts due by property own-
ers for the improvement of Maia
and Houston streets. About
$55,000 is due and it is likely
tbe property owners will make
wry faces at the collector wheh
he calls with his bills.
—It will be remembered that
last September the body of a
murdered negro woman was
found in a branch in Lee coun-
ty near the Washington county
line. In the district court at
Giddings, Wednesday, James
Taylor, a negro, was found
guilty of murdering Sally Chap-
en, the jury assessing the death
penalty. The evidence devel
oped one of the most villainous
murders ever recorded.
Sdentifle Miscellany
On Oct. 1 «th Jupiter's moons
were all bidden by the planet
for the fifth time ia the present
century,
Successful experiments in tea-
culture at Soukhoum have led
a St. Petersburg society to ad
vocate tile general cultivation
of tbe tea-plant ia the Caucasus.
The society believes that Russia
might soon compete with China
aad InSia in supplying western
countries with tea.
Late observations prove that
the great red spot of the
planet Jupiterts still to be seen
although it is very faint and its
color has faded away. The to-
tal disappearance of the remark
able object which Jupiter has
exposed to the view of our as-
tronomers for several years is
undoubtedly near at hand.
In a lecture just published,
A. von LaSaulx, a well-known
geologist, draws an ingeuious
~ eland aad
to explain
the backward state of the in-
habitants of those two island!
.and the disorders ofwhich they
have been the theatre by the
nature of their geological strata,
the formation of their coasts^
and their geographical positions,
Prof. Edward Hull considers
that throughout the early geo-
logical epochs known as Ar-
chean, Silurian and Carboaifer-
ous the sea covered North
America, tbe British Isles and
Western Europe, while a large
part of the North Atlantic area
existed as dry lands. He urges
that if his conclusions prove to
be well grounded the doctrine
of the permanency of oceaas
aad continents, as tested by
the case of the North Atlantic,
must be discarded.
After repeating with water
some of the experiments by
which Prof. Tyndall has proven
that the air always contains
floating dust particles, Moos.
Marchand asserts that really
clear water does aot exist. He
coveted with black paper a bot-
tle filled with the liquid, aad
pierced two holes ia tbe paper
at opposite poiats, when, on
parallel between Ireland
Sicily, and attempts
is so simple
that any person may readdy
teat the accuracy of Mons. Mar-
chaed's conclusion.
An ex-clergyman of Brooklyn
who received a salary of $10,'
000 five years ago is now a com-
mon drunkard. What an awful
warning this is against high sal-
aries!
