We are all in pursuit of pleas-
ures, only to be viewed in prospec-
tive. How many are there to-day
building “ castles in the air,”
watching them as they move up-
ward, bubble-like, displaying all
the beauties of the rainbow, only
to mourn their loss as they burst
by the breath of the first rustling
wind.
The mechanic at his bench feels
the keen sensation of those mo-
ments, when he would hurry on
the wheels of time only to look
back at his strivings as mere
blanks in existence.
The youthful legislator may
often be seen stealing a march
upon time, stalking up and down
the halls of his state capitol, pon-
dering in his mind some speech
that will further enhance his po-
litical preferment upon the chess
board of national or- state affairs.
And, alas! the merchant’s clerk
often shakes off that listless in-
difference, and wonders in his
mind, as he unfolds the tape,
whether he shall ever rise in his
profession, or simply be an incu-
bus upon the efforts of others.
Bat, why repine? Fortune is
blind, and so are those, too often,
who have the power of dispensing
her favors. Else, why do we see
fools and knaves at the very top
of the wheel, while patient merit
sinks to the extreme of the oppo-
site abyss. Besides reverse of
fortune, combined with the ruder
jostlings we often get, only serve
to help us jog along merrily
through the realities of an
friendly world.

The committee on fire department, to
whom was referred, with power to act, a
proposition for repairing and keeping in
order for the ensuing year, the electric fire
alarm, have awarded the contract to Thos.
W. Stenner, for $1194. Mr. Stenner is at
present chief operator of the Western
Union Telegraph company here, and is
a thorough and practical electrician. He
is actively engaged putting up the system.
Mayor Fisher to-day peremptorily dis-
charged from the police force Special Offi-
cers Mountain, Cobell and Williamson,
and six policemen whose commissions he
refused to sign a few days. This action
had created considerable comment for sev-
eral days, and on Sunday a new petition
appeared, signed by a large number of the
most prominent business men and firms
of the city, insisting upon the retention
of Officer Mountain.
The land cable has been completed from
the office of the Mexican Cable and Tele-
graph company to the beach at the foot of
Nineteenth street, iron has also been put
oa the beach to be used in housing the
cable. All the instruments have been re-
ceived and put in order in the company’s
office. Mr. Driven, agent of the company,
will leave to-morrow for Brownville. He
goes to close the office of the company at
that point. The two cable steamers which
were expected to-morrow, have been de-
layed by the storm, and will not reach
here until about the 25th.

FOREIGN NOTES.
London, May 19.—In consequence of
anonymous Fenian threats, the guards at
the government establishments at Ply-
mouth have been doubled.
A St. Petersburg dispatch brings a ru-
mur that riots have broken out among
peasants in the southwest. They de-
mand a redistribution of the land. Two
mansions belonging to the nobility have
been sacked.
St. Petersburg, Russia, May 19.—It is
reported that Black Division section of the
Nihilists has amalgamated with the Will
of the People section, as it is impossible
to carry on a peaceful propaganda, owing
to the vigilance of the police.
Brady, May 19.—The misery of the
Russian Jews here is indescribable, 10,000
of them are without shelter. There are
fresh arrivals daily, The population of
Brady is unable to afford the refugees any
further relief.
Berlin, Prussia, May 19.—The commit-
tee of the Reichstag to whom the measure
was referred, has rejected the whole to-
bacco bill by a vote of 21 to 3.
Vienna, Austria, May 19.—The wealth-
ier jews in Russia are forming secret
clubs to facilitate emigration en masse.
Liverpool, May 19.—The Manchester
Guardian’s commercial article says prices
have been steady. There was a fair in-
quiry, but in some cloth departments it
was at a trifle under current rates. Yarns
were in poor demand.
Dublin, May 19.—The city police are
now armed with swords. They haye not
carried such weapons since the Fenian
excitement.
A Sneffield firm sent four knives to
Dublin, to order, just before the Phoenix
park murders.
Dublin, May 19.—The Freeman’s Jour-
nal published an eight-column story,
anonymously sent, and bearing the Lon-
don postmark, professing to be the con-
fession of one of the assassins. It inti-
mates that the crime was conceived as an
answer to the appointment of Lord Fred-
rick Cavendish by the Irish association, a
society having branches throughout the
kingdom. Over twenty persons are
said to be implicated in the crime.
All of them have now escaped to Eng-
land in various disguises. The writer
says they attended the funerals of their
victims The story has created a sensa-
tion, but it is considered a hoax, as it con-
tains many gross absurdities.
DALLAS.
Special to the Democrat-Advance
Dallas, May 19, 1882.
James McGee, an employee of the Mis-
souri Pacific road, fell off a coal car about
noon, and the train passed over him, kill-
ing him instantly. The cars were thrown

convey to the Chicago prison, a man now
under arrest at Waco, said to be William
Van Slyke, who is guilty ol extensive
depredations on the United States mails.
The first car ot new oats received at the
Dallas market this season, arrived to-day.
It was harvested in McLellan county.

ous. They have stolen over $1,000 worth

ity in the past week.
The $500,000 cotton and woolen mills
enterprise, under the auspices of the
board of trade, is an assured success.

to solicit stock from farmers and mer-
chants in the cities and in the vicinity ot
Dallas, Fort Worth, Cleburne, Alvarado,
Corsicana, Ennis, Kaufman, Arlington,
McKinney, DentOD, Terrell, Mineola and
other points, was appointed to-day. The

cess, as all the stock not otherwise sub-
scribed for has been arranged for among
citizens of this city.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Proceedings of
Congress-
the Forty-Seventh
-First Session.
In the House of Commons.
London, May 18.—In the house of com-
mons this afternoon, on a motion lor the
second reading of the repression bill, the
speaker announced that the only para-
graph in O’Donnell’s amendment in order
was that declaring the bill a fatal obstacle
to good government and tranquility.
O’Donnell denounced the bill.
Gladstone replying to Sir Stafford
Northeote, said he hoped the second read-
ing ot the repression bill would be con-
cluded to-night; if not, the debate would
be continued during the morning sitting
of Friday. He would call on the com-
mittee ot supply on Tuesday. He wished
to continue the call from day to day until
the report was reached. He would move
the second reading of the arrears bill on
Monday ; he would have to ask for pro-
visional supply account for the month;
he would therefore, ask the house to sit
the whole of next week, including, if nec-
essary, Saturday. Calhurst, liberal mem-
ber for the county of Cork, supported the
bill. He condemed the cowards who is-
sued no rent manifestos and
did not protest against the mur-
derers, and was committed in
support of it. Gladstone, in replying to a
question, stated that the warrant out
against Sheridan had been cancelled, Trev-
ellyn, chief secretary for Ireland, who was
yesterday reelected member of parlia-
ment for Haverick, took his seat, and was
cheered.
The Strikers.
Cumberland, Md., May 19.—The presi-
dent and manager of the Consolidated
Coai company to-day met the committee
representing the miners and notified them
that the sixty days suspension had
elapsed, and that a few days more would
be given the miners to return to work on
the company’s terms, after which new la-
bor would be introduced into the compa-
ny’s mines, unless the old miners returned
to work.
Jersey City, N. J., May 19.—Ninety-six
laborers and eighteen machinists, em-
ployed at Dreyfus & Co.’s brickyard, Jer-
sey City, struck to-day for $60 and $65,
respectively, per month, an advance of
$10. The yard uses silt trom the Hudson
river tunnel. The men are discharged,
and the yard is closed. Either Italians or
Chinese will be hired. The men are or-
derly.
Thirty laborers employed at the oil re-
finery of Lombard, Ayres & Co., Centre-
ville, struck to-day tor an advance ol
twenty-five cents per day. They now re-
ceive $1.50.
Rumors that Ignatieff will Resign.
London, May 18.—A correspondent of
the Times at St. Petersburg says rumors
continue to relate that Gen. Ignatieff will
soon resign the ministry of the interior.
His defeat in the council of ministers on
the Jewish question has produced a dead-
lock. The minister ot finance, who sees
clearly the great loss the exchequer must
suffer trom the exodus of Jews, threatens
to resign if the measures of Gen. Ignatieff
to accelerate the emigration of the Jews
are adopted. The majority of the minis-
ters support the minister of finance. Ac-
cording to trustworthy data, the material
damage done by the anti-Jewish move-
ment, including houses, breadstuff's and
other property destroyed and money tak-
en away by the emigration of the Jews,
amounts to” £22,000.000 lost to Russia. To
this must be added the losses resulting
from prevention of labor and profit not
only of the Jews, but of others, during
the riots, and from the stagnation ot trade
generally, which would increase the total
by many more million.
Washington, May 19.—House—Town-
send, of Ohio, introduced a bill to estab-
lish a board of commissioners of inter-state
commerce as a bureau ot the interior de-
partment. Referred.
The house then resumed consideration
of the bank charter extension bill, the
pending question being on the amend-
ment offered by Crapo, of Massachuseetts,
as an independent section, as follows:
That any national banking association
now organized, or hereafter organizing,
desiring to withdraw its circulation notes,
upon the deposit of lawlul money with
the treasurer of the United States, as pro-
vided in section 4 of the act of June 20,
1874, shall be required to give ninety days
notice to the secretary of the treasury of
its intention to deposit said lawful money
and withdraw its circulating notes; provi-
ding that not more than $500,000 of law-
ful money shall be deposited during any
calendar month for this purpose; and
provided turther that the provisions of
this section shall not apply to bonds
called tor redemption by the secretary of
the treasury; but when bonds are called
tor redemption, the banks holding such
called bonds shall surrender them within
thirty days after matury of their call.
After several ineffectual attempts to
amend it, Crapo’s amendment was adop-
ted, without division.
Crapo offered as an additional section
an amendment providing that on the de
posit of bonds, the association making
same shall be entitled to receive trom the
comptroller of the currency circulating
notes equal to the amount of ninety per
cent, of the market value, and not exceed-
ing par ot the United States bonds so
transferred and delivered ; it turther pro-
vides that at no time shall the total
amount of such notes issued exceed 90
per cent, ot the amount actually paid in
of capital stock, and repeals sections 5171
and 5176 ot the revised statutes.
Morrison, ot Illinois, off-red an amend-
ment providing that congress may at any
time amend, alter or repeal this act and
the acts of which this is amendatory.
Adopted.
Many other amendments were offered
in the course of the debate, but none were
adopted, except those above indicated.

bill passed as amended—yeas 125, nays 67.

Railroad Land Grants.
Washington, D. C., May 18.—A report
was made to the house to-day trom the
judiciary committee in the case of a land
grant to a railroad in Michigan, in which
the legal points involved cover cases of
many of the roads involved In the Cobb
bill. The railroad was not begun within
the time named, and the lands included
in the grant were placed on the market
by the goyernment, and sold; afterward
construction of road was begun, and on
the completion of one section
the company selected . the lands
already sold by the government
or pre-empted. The judiciary committee
hold that the government has the right to
declare unearned the lands forfeited in this
and all similar cases at any time after the
expiration of the limit fixed tor the com-
pletion of the road in the granting act,
and that if the road continues the work of
construction after the expiration of the
time fixed for its completion by the grant-
ing act, it does so at the risk of subsequent
forfeiture. The committee reccommends,
however,that where the work of construc-
tion has been prosecuted in good faith,and
where superior intervening equities exist,
that forfeiture be not declared, especially
if the road, when completed, will be of
great public value and utillity.
