Uliclited Hopes.
The Globe Democrat is cheered by a
new idea—that because Gov. Ireland did
not appoint Mr. Brown financial agent of
the Penitentiary, the democrat.® party
ot Texas is likely to be split. If the^e
cheerful anticipations aftord any comfo
to the G. D., it is well enough; happiness
frequently springs troro slight foundations
or illusive hopes. The democratic party
ot Texxs is "verj well thank you, and is
likely to continue in sound health, w o-

or may not appoiut to office. Mr. rown

A Short Tri| .
Ust Friday evening after the issue of
the Standard, the editor started for a trip
to Betton, to the veteran celebration. Find-
ing by conferring with the conductor of the
train to Texarkana, that he would hardly
reach Belton in good time, he concluded
that the next best appropriation of his time
and opportunities would be to lie over a
day or two* at Texarkana, an.l absorb all
the inspiration possible from Bro. Wootten
of the Democrat, who is the recorder of the
virtues and intellectual developments of
tha Arkansaw legislature,and the local fount
of the pnre, the beautiful, the devout and
the amatory. So we did that thing exactly,
and making our first visit to our gallant
friend, we proceeded to absorb as much as
possible of the graces for which he is dis-
tinguished, and our readers may expect
!*reat results in the hereafter.
" Merchants and others at Texarkana said
it was dull commercially, but the place al-
ways has an air of life, and is impro\ ing.
Some brick stores arc going up now, the
town is extending, and the conjoint com-
pany of Little Rock and Texarkana men
have bought four acres of ground for the
oil mill, not far from thelrou Mountain de-
jiot. and will commence building before a
great while. The oil miil is the onlv estab-
lishment definitely agreed upon, but the
charter covers all manufacturing project*,
and the company cxpects to start other man-
ufactures—probably a cotton manufactory
for one. It is believed that the railroad
lines centering at Texarkana will erect ex-
tensive machine 'hops before a great while,
and manufacture locomotives, care and
car wheels, and necessarily employ a great
force of mechanics.
If so, this will naturally give a great
impetus to the place. Travel is continual-
ly going through, and the hotels are con-
stantly full. Mayor Ohio's new house, in
the upper story of which an 0]>era hall will
be completed in time for the next theatri-
cal season, is 50x113 feet and the expecta-
tions is. to make it the hand~o?nest and most
commodious theatric hall in northern Tex-
as.
.Mr. Bachcfy's pottery is one of the in-
stitutions of Texarkana,to which all visitors
go, ami which has received extensive or-
ders from Jay- Gould and Marquand, for
their conservatories. At thi9 place we con-
tracted for siding for flower beds, nn«l
found sewer pipe, for the purchase of which
wp had been communicating with Akron,
Ohio. Mr. Barhely told us that he had
shipped a lot to Sherman, a few days prcvi-
vious,in response to an order; the party or-
dering tiding it to drain the cellar of a hotel.
It i- a convenience to get it at. home, ami
, save much cost of freight.- -This pottery
makes handsome and durable, ornamental
vases for yards, and much other ornamen-
tal work. For the first time we had an op-
portunity to observe the process of mould-
ing jug*, vases, ornamental spittoons, etc.
On Sunday, as usual, under the patron-
age of our devout brother, we attended the
Episcopal church, and listened to an excel-
lent sermon from the Rev. Mr. Colli son.
We learn that the vestrymen have it in
contemplation to crect soon, a much larger
edifice, using the ground upon which the
exist ing Httle church -tands. and the lot in
the rear now occupied by the- school house.

FROM NEW ORRLANS.
New Orleans, April 24.—At . two
o'clock Saturday evening rain fell at
Beauregard, Mississppi, accompanied
by thunder and lightning. About half
past three the sky which had assumed
a copper color became very dark and a
rumbling sound set in, continuous and
and intense. Lightning flashed, the
heaviest thund-r imaginable roared and
a dreadful, cyclone a quarter of a mile-
wide was on tin; town which iu a breath
was uo more. Houses and trees were
crushed iuto ane dust. Thirty-seven
dwellings, .-.reive stores, a school house
the Masonic hall and a number of cab-
ins disappeared. In the twinkling of
au eye. But worst of all 105 persons
persons have been injured, thirty dan-
gerously, and quite a number have been
k i 1 led outwrigbt. Several persons have
disappeared altogether. It is impos-
sible to give full details yet. Persons
have been mangled in every conceiva-
ble. way; babies- torn from their moth-
ers' breast, mothers flung one way and
babies disappear altogether. The hor-
rors cannot be depicted. The Masons
and Odd Fellow's appeal from Wesson,
near Beaurigard, saying they- have been
similarly visited and fifty people -were
killed. The Cyclone has also visited
Chattanooga, where considerable dam-
age has been done and eleven children
killed. At Starksville, Miss., little
damage-was done. It was terrible at
Aberdeen, twenty people killed and fif-
ty injured. It seems to have passed
through Louisiana, Mississppi, Tennes-
see and Georgia, At Albany Ga.., ten
were killed and twenty-five wounded.
\t Mitlman Station Miss., one person
killed and three wounded. At Cale-
donia Miss., one man was killed and
two ladies dangerously wounded. At
Red Lick Mis., several ladies were lost.
A negro moman was killed in Concor-
dia Parish, Louisiana. At Americits
Ga., ten were kilcd and several wounded
Major Burke manager of the Times-
Democrat was telegraphed Monday
morning at two o'clock at New York.
He ordered a train and two physicians
nurses and everything to leave immedi-
ately for the disaster. The train left
at seven o'clock Since then our peo-
ple have been up and doing with a vim
Every train that leaves here goes with
medicines and physicians, nurses and
food. The whole South is roused by
the dreadful visitation and is sending
aid.
Later—Seventeen miles north from
Beauregard the cyclone struck George-
town, a small village, killing thirty-
two persons. The methodist Church
where a quarterly meeting was being held
was destroyed and a number of people
killed and injured in it. Wherever
the cyclone has passed the stock are
reported nearly all killed.
This is the general review of the news
thus far.
At Beauregard to-day all was bustle
and confusion, the gangs of men are
getting out the goods from the wrecked
ii"
stores, and score of ox-teams hauling
the recovered property. The homeless
people have gotten together their re-
maining effects and are moving them
in wagons and carts. .Construction
trains are receiving the debris of brok-
en box cars. A relief committee head-
ed by L. O. Bridewell is- systematically
at work issuing rations and distributing
clothing.
The Times-Democrat's doctors Lehman
and Fitch,are also assisting the wounded.
Assistance also came from. Jackson,
Utica and other points. In the rounds
among the wounded, sad scenes were
witnessed. The groans and moans
were heart-rending. It was particu-
larly touching to see little children,
numbers of them scarcely more than
babies. Scarcely a murmer was heard
from the little ones and none complain-
ed . One little girt three years old want-
ed her mamma to "come and fix my
arm." Poor battered and bruised little
arm, no one could tit it. but mamma and
mamma was in the next room all un-
conscious that her baby wjis hurt unto
death. .
Ool. W0RTHA3I of Hopkins, editor- of

vorable a view ol its membership, as we

England's Bed Goats Changed.
The decision to change the uniform of
the army from the time honored scarlet to
the soberer gray, which is reearded as
more in keeping with tbe practical spirit
of modern war-makhig, staggered the re-
el niting sergeants, who feared that in tbe
absence of the scarlet their occnpation—
which had already received a severe blow
when "the Queen'a shilling'' and such un-
desirable devices for inducing men to
pocket it as getting them drunk were dis-
countenanced, and enterfng the army l>e-
came as matter of-fact a piece of business
as joining the police—would be utterly
gone and forever.
It has, however, been decided to keep
the scarlet in tbe garrison towns in order
to lure the rustics, but to wear Con fed-
eiate gray whenever the soldiers are sent
out npon active service.
The change—which will begin soon—ia
another blow of the reforming pickaxe in
tbe structure of tbe old British ariuv.
ranks, the idea of their electing their
ticket in 1884 would practically disap-
pear. If the Democrats should ofter to
put in office a man ot such vast experi-
ence and ot such known wisdom as Mr.
Tilden. the great, majorities that swept
;tway the Republic>:s list fall would be
held* by the De nocrats in the approach
•!ig campaign, and the long career of Re-
publican corruption and extravagance
■vould be finally brought to a close.
On the other hadd, what an eud to all
petty disagreements and useless bicker-
ings would Mr. Tilden's nomination bring
to the Democrats! To have once more at
their head a leader who knows and hon-
ors the principles of Democracy, of a
wisdom and knowledge of public affairs
tar sujierior to meu of his lime, and of au
intellectual {tower that conld engraft the
bruits ot his political studies upon the
perverted system of our Government and
make it such a Democracy as was out-
lined by Thomas Jefterson! Theorists of
every kind in tbe Democratic party, pro-
tectionists. free traders, men who believe
in hard money or in soft' money, would
all follow Mr. Tilden's guidance, because
there would be no doubt ot bis ability > o
deal with the mighty task of reforming
the Government, and because of their
confidence in the wisdom of his judgment
when applied to all questions ot a na-
tional1 interest.
Aud yet how does this candidate, who
would fill the Democrats with enthusiasm
aud'tbe Republicans with anxiety, corre-
spond with the sort suggested by vari-
ous members of the Democratic par y?
It Mr. Tilden is not to lead his party in
f he approaching contest, what must lie
the principles of the standard bearer who
shall be chosen? Shall he appear as a
representative mainly ol tbe pure and
equitable doctrine of tree trade, a theory
which the immense indebtedness ol this
country must, tor many years to come,
render impracticable? Or shall he be a
man capable ot grappling with the vital
needs of the country and ready to head
the enormous army of voters who drove
out the inajofitv of the last Congress be
cause ot their riotous extravagance and
indifference to the necessity ot reducing
the burdens ot our taxes '
