Should Mr. Laugtry succeed in obtaining a
divorce from Mrs. Langtry, he will, it is
thought, in the meantime have acquired suffi-
cient notoriety to fit him for the lecture-
room.
The mania among Frenchmen for the pos-
session of honors and decorations has become
so great that the minister of agriculture and
trade has been compelled to put up the follow-
ing placard in the vestibule of the Ministerial
hotel:
" The minister has 110 more orders of the le-
gion of honor at his disposal, and hence he Is
not in a position to entertain any further ap-
plications for the same.1'
The Frenchman's penchant for " decorations "
has its counterpart among Americans in fche
lhape of a " hankering after" office.
People who are so unfortunate as not to
possess a musquito bar, or net, at this season
Of the year will, doubtless, be pleased to learn
from a Florida paper that even musquitos
have their uses. The journal alluded to says
that a novel feature of the cattle trade is the
co-operation of the musquito in their manage-
ment of the range. One of the largest owners
says that without the aid of the musquito three
times as many men would be required to herd
and gather. Out of the musquito season the
cattle get as wild as deer, but owing to these
pests they congregate, and becom. dacil# and
easy to maaage.
The recent defeats of Mr. Lorillard's stable
on the English turf have, it is said, aroused a
grave suspicion in the minds of some American
sportsmen that " something is wrong over
there." No doubt of it. It was the same way
when Heentm was defeated by Savers and
when Ten Broeck's favorites long ago failed to
come to the winning post first. But horse
races, at best, are uncertain, and no one need
be surprised if a subsequent cablegram should
flash the news of another brilliant victory for
Parole, who is entered for the Cesarewitch
stakes, October 7, and fot the Cambridgeshire
stakes, October 21.
In the midst of radical congratulations «v«r
the Kelly-Robinson squabble in New York, it
would be well to bear in mind that the differ-
ences are more of a persoual than political
character, and that there seems no conclusive
grounds for the apprehension that if Mr. Til-
den, or any other anti-Tammany candidate,
should be selected as the presidential nominee
in 18S0 the Tammany opposition would serious-
ly embarrass his chances of carrying the state
for the democracy. It is hardly to be doubted
that when it comes to the final contest for the
presidency, the democrats of the empire state
will be found as solidly united in 1S80 as in
187(1.
CAST-IRON CONSTITUTIONALISM.
There is matter of wholesome instruction
as wcl! as melancholy interest in Mr, Edwin
P. Whipple's essay on Daniel Webster a» a
master of English style, incorporated in a
recently issued volume of great speeches
and orations by Mr. Webster. The
most fervent eloquence, if not the
profoundest reasoning, of the famous politi-
cal lawyer of Massachusetts was dedicated
to the defense and praise, and we might al-
most say the apotheosis, of the federal con-
stitution, While Mr. Whipple pays a just
and glowing tribute to Mr. Webster's ad-
mirable qualities as a legal expounder, a
political debater, and a popular orator,
he is obliged to admit the super-
ficiality, the narrowness, and the
practical insufficiency of Mr. Webster's
school of constitutionalism. " The causes
which led," says Mr. Whipple, "to the
most terrible civil war recorded in history
were silently working beneath the forms of
the constitution—both parties, by the way,
appealing; to its provisions—while Webster
was idealizing it as the. utmost which hu-
manity could come to in the way of civil
government." To the last Mr. Webster in-
sisted on the perfection and infallibility of
this written document, as though it had an
organic existence of its own and were in its
whole essence sacred, divine and inviolable.
Had Mr. Webster been a deep thinker, a
clear observer, and an inductive reasoner,
he would have been startled at the
contrast between the character which
his rhetorical enthusiasm ascribed to the
constitution and its actual impotence when
brought in collision with the progress of
ideas and the rusli of popular pas-
sions. Had he been grounded in
the philosophy of government and gifted
with genius for practical statesman-
ship, he would have seen the impossibility
of maintaining through a crisis teeming with
change and with revolution a cast-iron sys-
tem of constitutionalism, and he would have
hastened to forestall, if possible, revo
lutionary violence by shaping the in-
stitutions of the country in con-
formity with the exactions of resistless his-
torical forces. Unfortunately Mr. Webster
was not alone in the kind of fetish worship
which attributed some ineffable magic to
barren constitutional phrases. The country
resounded with political lawyers, great and
small, who proclaimed, even as the
storm of the irrepressible conflict was burst-
ing, that the constitution was bound
to prevail for the preservation alike of peace,
of union, and of uninterrupted civil liberty.
History records how this cast-iron fetish in
the Bupreme crisis was shivered. Yet, strange
to say, the old Websterian way of idol-
izing a written constitution has survived the
catastrophe. At the late sessions of congress,
under the plain sanction of the federal con-
stitution as it stands, the executive and legis-
lative departments of government throttled
each other in a deadly struggle, and for a
time our whole political system was threat-
ened with paralysis or anarchy. The con-
stitution had provided for no arbiter
between the contestants, and for no
appeal of the issue to the people. Yet none
of those who participated on etiher side in
the conteit and witnessed its perils have
urged an amendment of the constitution
such as would prevent the occurrence of a
like complication in the future. Not
only this, but a minority of one-
third in either house of congress
can always render it impossibly to take the
first step towards an amendment, and it is
to be apprehended that there will always be
such a minority in favor of maintaining ob-
noxious features of the constitution for the
sake of the mischiefs and dangers which
they entail. As a matter of fact our sys
tem of cast-iron constitutionalism has been
opposed to peaceful progress and to the free
play of principles essential to representative
and responsible government. But ideas are
moving, and the triumph of these principles
is as certain as the future of the republic.

Theke are very few of us that have uot a
vivid recollection of those wonderful speci-
mens of chirography that once adorned the
face of the greenbacks, and were deciphered
by experts to read " F. E. Spinner." It seems
that the old man of the " flourishing fiet " took
offense at something or otner in the treasury
department and sought to conceal his honest
Indignation in the wilds of Florida, and now
writes as follows to a friend from his place of
exile:
I would just give two York shillings if you
could now drop in upon me and see £he pitcher
of iced lemonade, basket of St. Aug-ustine
grapes and dish of sponge cake on my table, to
say nothing of a cupboard full of well-filled
bottles and all kinds of goodies.. I know you
would enjoy all these so much. My friends
here do.
Referring to the story that Webb, when
within a mile of the goal, in his long Nantas-
ket beach race with Boyton, sneaked ashore in
the dark, ran half a mile on the beach, and re-
entered the water, finishing two minutes ahead,
the New York Sun says if there are credible
witnesses to this feat, it must of course be ad-
mitted to the ruin of Webb's reputation, future
and past. But the very distance he would
have to go in getting ashore and then getting
out on the course again, even allowing for the
slant he could take, would make the risk a
heavy one for the last mile of the course, where
the running was alleged to have taken place.
If it be true, as the Webb party say, that the
referee suggested by Boyton, and accepted by
them, has turned out, to their surprise, to be
Boyton's prospective father-in-law, his decision
declaring the race off is probably received by
them as anything but a fair one.
Messrs. Clare S. Read and Albert Pell,
members of the British parliament, sent to
America by the royal commission appointed to
investigate the depressed condition of English
agricultural interests, were in New York last
week, and visited the produce exchange in
that city on the 9th inst. It is stated the mis-
sion of these English visitors is to prepare a re-
port for the royal commission upon the condi-
tion of agriculture in this country and Canada,
a\id for that purpose they desire to see the
pi\actical workings of every department. They
alsto want to examine if the great west can
continue to supply as much or a greater quan-
tity of necessaries in the future as they now
furnish. Messrs. Read and Clare will go to
Tori mto from Albany and, after a tour through
Canr- la, will return and visit Chicago and Mil
wyukee, and from thence go down as far as
Texas, and will perhaps arrive in Washington
some time in December, when congress will be
in session.
[Special Correspondence of the News.1
Austin, Sept. 14.—I observe that since I
called attention some time ago to the
eligibility of Hon. Edwin Hobby to hold the
office of district judge of the thirty-first dis-
trict, there have been several writers of let-
ters from his district criticising the appoint-
ment upon other grouuds in some of the
newspapers. The most unprejudiced person
may have doubted his eligibility under the
constitution, but the objections otherwise to
the appointment seem to be purely personal
and to have originated more in spite
and malice than in any just cause.
These grounds of. objection are that
he has been without practice as
lawyer, and that some member of hi»
family has been convicted of a violation of
penal law. The latter objection is without
semblance of reason or justice, aud intro-
duced, apparently, for no other purpose
than to humiliate judge Hobby. Notwith-
standing every effort, at the time when Col.
A. M. llobbv was caught in the land fraud,
was made to"implicate judge Hobby, not the
slightest evidence was ever adduced to even
haug a suspicion upon. Since that time he
has pursued the even tenor of his way, pre
serving a spotless reputation and convincing
many of the leading men of the state of his
great ability and fitness for the bench. It
was purely as a question of law and without
any disposition to reflect upon the ap-
pointee that I raised the question of
his eligibility. As to his practice in
the courts it matters little. Some of our
most learned aud celebrated judges were
never able to make a good living at the bar.
I have examined the testimonials on hie in
the executive office submitted to Gov. Rob
erts to induce him to make the appointment
and mention some of them. Letters testify
ing as to his integrity and his ability and ac-
quirements are there found from judge J.
K. Fleming, district judge; from Messrs.
Daniel Doughty, C. H. Vickery, ft. R.
Reeve, J. C. McKinnon, E. C. 13. Parsons.

Walker, N. T. Green, D. A. Rowe, S. Berg-
man, J. K. Durham and W. D. Hood, all
from Polk county, in the thirty-first dis-
trict; also from judge W. H. Trolingcr and
Hon. R. D. Allison, of Whitesboro; Hon.
J. H. McLeary, of San Antonio; judge
W. W. Berryman, Liberty county;
district judge H. C. Pedigo, James V. Lea,
San Jacinto county; and T. S. Hill, of Cold
Springs; Col. Seth Shepherd, of Brenham;
W. H. Maury, Trinity county; James W.
Carleton, of Beaumont; Hon. O. Ellis, of
Lavaca county; judge Wm. Chambers, of
Wallisville; I ftp! Thos. E. Sneed, of Aus-
tin; Hon. B. M. Baker, of Panola county;
Hon. John Young Gooch, of Palestine; Col.
Frank B. Sexton, of Marshall; Hon. F. M.
Henry, of Texarkana; Hon. R. G. Street, of
Galveston; P. A. Work and S. B. Cooper,
of Tyler county, Silas P. Buck, district at-
torney thirtieth district; Hon. L. J. Storey,
of Caldwell county; Hon. G. H. Goodson,
of Hamilton: Hon. W. H. Tiison, of Bowie;
Hon. J. E. McComb, of Montgomery; and a
great many others. In. addition to these
letters were thirty petitions from different
portions of the district, containing 954
names. As to judge Hobby's eligibility it is
unfortunate that more light has not been
thrown upon the question. With the papers
and letters relating to the appointment is a
document, probably from the attorney gen-
eral's office, entitled
precedents and practical construction
of section 18, article 3, of the constitution.
It has the following: "In 1859 the constitu-
tion of 1845 being in force and containing
the same provisions found in section lb,
article 3, of the present constitution, the ju-
diciary committee of the house, judge Buck-
ly chairman, reported respecting the proper
construction of this section, and the report
concluded with this declaration: 'That
whatever might be the inhibition contained
in it, the resignation by the member made
the inhibition inapplicable as to him.' " The
opinion then goes on to set up precedents,
including appointment of district judges by
Gov. Davis from the legislature, and of va-
rious officers by Gov. Coke from the four-
teenth legislature, including judge
Ireland. The only case in which
there whs any question as
to ineligibility raised was in 1859, and it
was decided by the legislative committee
mentioned. If that is a sufficient and bind-
ing authority the matter rests, but it ap-
pears the tribunal deciding the question was
an interested party. Constitution-makers
have always had before them the practice
of governors in rewarding political ad-
herents and supporters of their administra-
tion in the legislature with lucrative offices,
aud this section, which is found in every
constitution—prohibiting this practice—is to'
be construed by one of the parties interest
ed in this species of prohibited bargain and
sale. It is very plain, while such is the au-
thority for determing the proper construc-
tion of the constitutional inhibition, the
office of governor will continue to be the
stepping-stone to the United States senate,
and "my policy " will always have support
as long as numerous offices are at
the disposal of the executive. No
intimation of such influence in this
appointment is intended, nor do I think any
one conversant with the proceedings of the
sixteenth legislature will believe there was
any change in judge Hobby's views from
the day the session opened to the very last,
that could be attributed to any such influ-
ence; but the legislative construction of the
constitution necessarily creates suspicion in
every case of the appointment of a member
to some high office by the governor. At
the time I heard such suspicions,and in case
of
col. (rip) ford,
appointed to the office of superintendent of
the Deaf and Dumb asylum, the same un-
charitable imputations are made. The six-
teenth legislature made the place for a new
district judge, and also gave the governor
authority to remove and appoint the asylum
superintendents. W hen the legislature at
the regular session refused to adopt the gov-
ernor's policy, and at the extra session by a
close vote did sustain it. and members are
afterwards rewarded with offices for their
services to the stare, it is natural for the sus-
picious to look to the executive patronage
for the change in the views of such legisla-
tors. As to Col Ford's special qualifications
for his place I am able to say he can readily
communicate with the deaf mutes in their
language, and being of a very industrious
and studious disposition and being capable,
will doubtless become proficient in a very
short time. Gen. McCulloch, before he sur-
rendered the institution, sent on east and
procured qualified teaciiers, and these were
accepted by the new superintendent aud the
trustees. Those who had been working here
so long, and I must believe deviously, to
oust Gen. McCulloch, were greviously dis-
appointed at this unexpected turn. At
various other places in Texas persons had
been working to oust him and to have them-
selves appointed; notably at Corsicana and
Dallas, and they are, 1 hear, dreadfully dis-
appointed at the result. Public opinion,
too, since Gen. McCulloch has quietly retir-
ed to his home in Guadalupe, and since it
is becoming known that the legislative inves-
tigation was not fairly conducted, is begin-
ning to side with him.
the drummers tax
has yielded $44,000 since July 24, and, it is
estimated at the comptroller's office, will
net the state $ i0,000 annually. Some 800
drummers are now authorized to scour the
highways and byways of Texas, the most
of them being employed by Texas mer-
chants. *
public schools.
Article 3720 of the civil code requires the
board of education to apportion the availa-
ble school fund to the several counties on
or before July 1 of each year, but as the old
law is still in force, which requires this ap-
portionment to be made on or before the
1st of September of each year, the board is
not very far behind its duty. As yet no ap-
portionment has been made, and as the 1st
of September is the time when all the schools
begin, and there is yet no basis for contracts
with teachers of public schools, I imagine
considerable trouble will ensue, especially
as the basis of contracts must be essentially
changed. The absence of the comptroller
in New York, trying to sell the 5 per cent,
bonds, is given as the reason why the appor-
tionment is deferred. Upon his estimate of
the revenue the board of education must de-
pend in making the apportionment. He
will be here next week.

The official vote of Collin county on the
constitutional amendment shows a majority
of 446 in favor of it. The vote stands 606
"for" and 220 "against." This is the only
vote polled in any county in north Texas as
far as heard from.
The Texas Cattle and Mercantile Record
is the name of the latest newspaper venture
in Dallas. The first number will appear on
the sixth of next month, Mr. L. P. Meyers,

and Mr. Ed. J. Smith, connected with the
W. U. T. company as operator in this city,

The friends of Dr. L. A. Grizzard, of
Baily junction, are anxious. Last Tuesday
morning he left home for Sherman, in an-
swer to a call from Dr. J. R. Howard, who
is sick in the latter place. He has not been
seen since. Several parties from Baily
junction have been in Sherman looking for
him.
Among the prisoners confined in jail in
Denton is Mrs. Susan Horton, charged with
the murder of her husband. She disclaims
any participation in the crime. While sleep-
ing beside her husband the top of his head
was carried away by the contents of a shot-
gun. She was bespattered with his brains,
but knew nothing of the occurrence until
hours afterwards, when she woke up and
discovered that she was covered with blood.
Nin<- nine school communities have
been organized in Ellis county. Their lists
show 2971 children within the scholastic
age, an increase of 84 over last year's census
and 341 over the census rolls of the current
year. There must have been a frightful
motality among children in that county just
previous to an astonishing increase by im-
migration.
The event of the season in colored circles
was the public installation of the officers of
Dallas Union lodge No. 140, Grand Cnion
order of odd fellows, at Haggart's hall last
night. There were music by the colored
brass band, plug hats, swallow-tail coats,
white kid gloves and slippers, night-bloom-
ing cereus, elongated words and a sumptuous
fround, the ties and tbe track In one vast

Some Ancient Monsters.
Professor Cope, of Philadelphia, who is
spending his summer leisure in California,
gave the other day to the San Francisco
academy a description of two fossil animals.
One of these was an enormous veterbrate,
somewhat resembling an aquatio kangaroo,
named the camarasaurus supremus, whose
neck was nine feet in diameter, whose hind
legs were twenty feet long, whose spiual
vertebra was fifty-six inches across, and
which must have been seveutv-two feet long
by measurements carefully taken. This ani-
mal could walk in forty feet of water and
catch its prey with its fore paws. He al3o
described another similar monster found,
whose spinal vertebreiE was six feet across
and whose hind egs were forty feet long,
with carniverous teeth placed in the upper
and lower jaws like shears, so as to cut up
animal food by traversing each other in the
most perfect manper. The bones of the
lower half of this animal were solid aud
very heavy, to keep its feet down in the
water, while bones in the upper half of its
body were built in honeycombed layers as
thick as pasteboard, strong, but very light
and buoyant in water. This monster has
been named amphicoelias fragilissimus, and
must have been considerably over 100 feet in
length. Both animals have large and power-
ful tails like kangaroos, and when catching
their food in tbe water, must have appeared
as if on three-legged stools, the tail acting
as an equal support of the ■ tripod.
A well-known Bostonian was trying a
horse one day, in company with the owner,
a professional "jockey." Having driven
him a mile or two, the gentleman, who no-
ticed that he pulled pretty hard and showed
a good deal of spirit, requiring constant
watching and a steady rein, said, " Do you
think that is just the horse for a woman to
drive?" " ell, sir," answered the jockey,
" I must say that I shouldn't want to marry
the woman that could drive that horse."

Address.
To the survivors of Hood's Texas brigade,
and to the people of Texas—Gen. John B.
Hood, known to you as few men are known,
and endeared to you by a history and associa-
tions too well remembered to justify recitation
here, is no more. The incidents of his sickness
and tbe pathos of his dying hour are familiar
to you all. Ten orphan children survive their
father, and ar# without adequate means of
support.
To take care of these little ones is now no
less your duty than your ; rivilege. To accom-
plish this end the association solemnly invokes
your aid.
The association at a recent meeting in Hous-
ton, called with reference to this matter, ap-
pointed John D. Rogers, of Galveston, to re-
ceive and receipt for all contributions designed
for the benefit of these children, and to invest
such contributions in some sound interest bear-
ing security, to be safely held until further in-
formation and advice of the condition and cir-
cumstances of the beneficiaries shall indicate
the most appropriate plan of permanent in-
vestment.
Capt. Rogers is too well known to require
assurances of his capacity and fitness for the
duties imposed upon him.
I am authorized and directed to invite you
to organize in your respective communities at
once, and, in such form and by such agencies as
you may elect, to procure money for the pur-
pose indicated.
The association through its said treasurer
will gladly receive, receipt for, aud apply all
funds thus contributed.
At the same time it will rejoice to see the
object so much at heart advanced by the use of
anv other agencies that may be accessible to
ancl preferred by the peoDle.

mSoils B.lpEJiTON, UStl., OF THE
1 Equitable Life Insurance Company, 130 Broad-
way. New York, says:
I have had experience, and know Dr. Giles's Lini-
ment Iodide Ammonia is the cleanest, nicest, and
most perfect combination that has ever come be-
fore the public. It never soils, is not greasy, is
agreeable and pleasant, at the same time so effec-
tual and beneficial. I have not only used it myself
and family, but have given it to many afflicted with
aches, pains and bruises, and all willingly unite in
testifying to its wonderful and great merit.

The oratorio of Esther was rendered at
the opera-house on Thursday and Friday
nights last and Saturday afternoon, to large
and appreciative audiences. The charac-
ters evinced histrionic ability and rare ama-
teur voice compass. It will be reproduced
in Fort Worth on Tuesday night, under the
auspices of the ladies' aid society of the
first baptist church. The success of
the oratorio was due to the training and
dexterous skill of Mr, ~W. H. Mason, of
Jefferson.
Hon. John H. Reagan will address the
democratic club of Dallas on Saturday
nest. In his letter accepting the invitation
of the club, he says: '' There is great need
that we should consolidate the 3emocracy
and win back those democrats who are join-
ing the greenback organisation, and I should
11? glad to have as many of them as practica-
ble to hear me." If the greenback club of
the city receive a favorable reply from Gen.
Hamman, Mr. Keagan will be asked to di-
vide time with him.

Waco Examiner, of Saturday: The Waco
and Palestine engineer* camped last night
on Williams's creek, fifteen miles out. They
have located what is deemed an excellent
line to that point. The line crosses the Te-
huacana just below the Mount Calm road
and Williams's creek, a short distance above
the mouth of Cow creek
A California railway engineer had a nar-
row escape from a bottomless pit a fortnight
ago. He had charge of a construction train
and was hauling gravel. A short distance
out of Benicia. and beyond Government
point, is a piece of tule land. Thousands
and thousands of yards of dirt were thrown
upon it when the road was built, and yet in
a short time, even during the night, out of
sight the whole would go. At last the road
was ballasted and the track laid, and the
railroad authorities were smiling at the
thought of having their road in good work-
ing order by the Fst of September. The en-
gineer noticed that the earth had a depressed
appearance, but he was so far advanced that
it was impossible to stop, and having on a
powerful head of steam, he opened the
valve and went rushing over the dangerous
place, and at the same time felt the ground
settling under the train. In a moment they
were over the morass, and upon checking
the engine the men on the train looked back,

This thread is entirely of
American production: is strong, smooth and
elastic; and, owing to its excellent qualifies, is fast
superseding well-Known brands of foreign manu-
facture. Experts at home and abroad pronounce
the WILLLYM ANTIC SPOOL COTTON superior to
other threads for machine sewing, and housewives
all <iver the country prefer it for hand work. In ad-
dition to medals and diplomas awarded at the Cen-
tennial and Paris Expositions, and at the American
Institute, many testimonials have been received
from the largest manufacturers and merchants in
the United States, and from others who have given
the Williamahtic Spool Cotton the severest prac-
tical tests.
The following indorsements are submitted, some
of them being from manufacturers who have more
than two hundred sewing machines constantly run-
ning:

TO Miami TRAVELERS Of THIS:
\OT LON G AGO A TERRIBLE AND MOSl
XI outrageous crime was committed upon the per-
son of A. BENNER, one of our number.
This murderer is still at large, and as there doefl
not seem to be any intention on the part of our state
authorities to take action tending to his arrest, w«
therefore deem it our duty to take the matter into
our own hands, and for the purpose of apprehend-
ing the villain it is our determination to offer a
REWARD OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
for the appreheusion and delivery of the same to
our state authorities.
Commercial travelers of Texas who feel any inter-
est in this matter are respectfully requested to for-
ward their contributions to the fund to Messrs.
Heidenheimer Bros., Galveston, who will publish a
list of same weekly in the Galveston News. Very
respectfully, "
