THE CITY.
Died.
Mr. Charles Olfson, a member of the bar in this
city, died at his residence, on P^, between Twen-
ty-eighth and Twenty-ninth streets, yesterday
morning. Action by the courts will, it is under-
stood. be taken on his death to-day.
Lunacy fanes.
Judge Austin was engaged with a jury yesterday
in hearing writs of lunacy sworn out again-1
Frank Nolan and Josenh Wineberger. Upon the
evidence add uced the jury pronouuced both par-
ties insane, and judgment was rendered accord-
ingly.
Harmony Club Hop.
The hop at the rooms of the club last night wa^
well attended, and proved a must enjoyable affair.
One of the pleasing features noticeable at these
hops is the sociability manifested by all. Each one
seems to make him or herself perfectly at home,
and to go in for a most happy and joyous time. It
i6 understood that a grand -masquerade ball is in
process of arrangement for an early date.
master of the boat, a long time, and had no hesita-
tion in selling him morphine when he called for it.
G. O. Davis, sheriff or Chambers county, testi-
fied to an acquaintance wich deceased, and that he
had heeu in had hea»th a long time.
County Physician Johnson gave an opinion upon
the evidence that deal h was caused by an overdose
of morphine, and the jury rendered a verdict to
tnat effect, but said they c uld not say whether it
was accidental or intentional. The body was sent
to Chambers county for interment.
The Higher Courts.
The assignments of causes in the Supreme and
Appellate courts, which meet in this city on the
firsr Monday in next month, are published in this
morning's News. The county of Gonzales, by re-
quest of the bar of that county, has been taken
from the third assignment and placed on the fifth
or special assignment, because the sitting of the
District Court for Gonzales conflicts with the dale
of the third assignment.
»
The Supreme Court Clerkship.
Up to last night no announcement has been re-
ceived in this city of the appointment of a suc-
cessor to Colonel N. J. Moore as clerk of the Gal
veston branch of the Supreme Court, although it
has been generally expected for several days past.
It is stated that applications, all strongly support-
ed, have gone up from Messrs. Alex. Samson, J
M. Claiborne and E. Kauffman, of this city
"Whether there are any applicants from elsewhere
is not known.
Anniversary.
Yesterday the cadets of St. Mary's University
celebrated the twenty-sixth anniversary of the
foundation of that, institution. Over the main
entrance to the college, on Avenue I, a marble
slab was erected, bearing the inscription "Maria?
sine labe conceptce, Die Villa. Xbris, A. D. 1854."
In honor of the occasion the cadets paraded
through the principal streets, under command of
First Lieutenant A. J. Truchard and Second Lieu-
tenant J. 6. En right.
Married.
Mr. Charles P. Shearn, of Ilouston, was yester-
day afternoon united in marriage with Miss Nettie
Barrell. at the residence of Mr. C. C. Barrell, the
bride's father, on Avenue K, between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets. The wedding was quiet
and unostentatious and the bridal party left on the
4 o'clock train for the Bayou City. Mr. Shearn is
one of the most prominenyind popular young gen-
tlemen in the city to wmch he has carrieu his
bride, who here has ranked among the loveliest and
most charming of all the belles of the city. A very
extended circle of acquaintances will read with
feelings of pleasure the announcement of this
union and will bless it with all the fervor that true,
warm friendship can bestow.
The Harbor Works.
Five mattresses were sunk yesterday, making a
total of thirty-six for the month, and there is a
sufficiency of stone on hand for another day.
Colonel Mansfield has succeeded in building his
jetty past the wreck of the Adriana. where he
thought he would have to stop, and has already
extendi d his line 500 feet beyond the wreck. He
now proposes to push it 1000 feet further, which
■will enable him to reach the " safe way," or deep
water. This, he thinks, will not consume more
than five days, if he can get stone and mattresses
with dispatch. This completed, his second layer
will be begun at once and built inward as fast as
possible. The engineers believe that, with the sea
wall built out to deep water, the scour, both by
natural current p.nd by northers will be more rapid
and effective than if a stop had been made in shoal
water.

Inquest Held.
Justice Braman held an inquest vesterday morn-
ing on the body of a man named Willie Clark, who
had died suddenly during the prevkms night, on
board the schooner General Bale. The tesiimonv
developed was that deceased was a resident o~f
Chambers county, and was twenty-five years of
age. He was a sailor on the schooner, arid during
the day had been at work discharging wood. He
complained of feeling unwell and went after medi-
cine. He continued to suffer and at 12 o clock that
night was complaining greatly. The captain said
he had given him a small dose of morpiue during
the day. The bottle was in the room where he
slept. He didn't know whether deceased took any
more or not.
Dr. Veers testified that the bottle contained
thirty-six or thirty-eight grains of morphine wheu
he Bold it, he was not positive which; he weighed it
during the investigation and found it to contai n
thirty-five grains. Ht^had known Captain Wilson,
The School Trustees.
A special meeting of the board of school trustees

On motion the Committee on School-Houses and

The regulations of the board, having been
printed, were delivered to the trustees, and the
iuperintendeut was instructed to distribute a suf
fieient number among the teachei'S to be by them
sent to the patrons or the s-ehools.
The board, after transacting a few unimportant
items of business, adjourned.
Marine movements Yesterday.
The Greyhound, a large and substantial New
Orleans tug, came in yesterday morning from New
Orleans in tow of a government barge destined
for the government works at the mouth of the
Brazos. The Greyhound departed for New Orleans
yesterday afternoon, leaving the barge to be towed
to the Brazos from this point.
The steamship Morgan arrived from Indianola
and left for Morgan City. She left 178 bales of cot-
ton and som • sundries at this port.
The steam-hip City of Norfolk arrived from Mor-
gan City and went to Clinton.
The bark Mozart arrived from Troon.
The bark Glimt cleared for Liverpool with 2139
bales of cotton, valued at Si30,000.
The barks Fridleif and Swift cleared for Pensn-
cola, in ballast.
The brig Solveig, from Rio de Janeiro, entered
at the custom-house. She has 3500 bags of coffee.
The Aster, from Liverpool, entered, with a cargo
of 300 tons of coal, 749 steel rails, and a lot of gen-
eral merchandise.
The barges Katinka, Lark and Houston brought
114S bales of cotton and a lot of general merchan-
dise from Houston.
The ship Julius, from Liverpool, entered at the
custom-house yesterday. She brings a general
cargo, including GOTO sacks of salt. Captain
Meentzen, of the Julius, has entered the list of
Benedicts since he was here last winter, but this
will not lessen his popularity with the hosts of
laiii-s, to whom it was wont to be a pride with him
to show the excellencies of his good ship.
The Harbinger, Captain Kemp, the only foreign
steam vessel now inside, is anchored off j he west
end of New Wharf, where she is discharging steel
rails, for the New York, Texas and
Mexican road, on to barges. This is the maiden
trip of the Harbinger, and, although
her voyage was an exceedingly rough and
stormy one, she shows 110 evidence that she has
ever encountered other than the brightest days
and best of weather. She was built at Sunder-
land, was launched on the 27th of August last, and
sailed for this port on the 8th of October. She is
an iron vessel 290 feet long, 37 feet beam, 21 feet
depth of hold, and registers 1800 tons. She has
180 nominal horse-power, consumes fifteen tons of
coal daily, and has a speed of ten knots, ner in-
ward cargo was 2052 tons of steel rails, and she has
a capacity for 5500 bales of cotton. She is built
exclusively as a freight vessel, and is supplied with
the very latest and most improved machinery,
while her cabin is a model of comfort and conve-
nience The discharge of her cargo will perhaps
be completed to-day.
more About the Investigation.
In the report of the proceedings of the investi-
gating committee given je terday morning Dr.
Use claims that injustice wasdoue him, because the
evidence of Messrs. Wren and Tiernan was summa-
rized instead of being given at length. While Mr.
Wren was on the stand Dr. Use accosted The News
reporter with the request that a question asked by
Mayor.Fisher of Mr. Marlow, as to whether he had
not said Use was a half brother of Guiteau, be
omitted from the proceedings. This interruption
lost to the reporter much that 31r. Wren said, and
in order that no semblance of injustice may attach,
the omitted portion is presented. The questions
prepared by Mayor Fisher and the answers given
by Mr. Wrea are here submitted:
You were the city clerk for several years preced-
ing Use?
Yes, sir.
Do you remember how the Agricultural. Horticul-
t.ural and Industrial bonds came to be put down as
doubtful?
When I went into office, in 1877, there was no
such thing as doubtful debt carried in the financial
report, but there were the Hitchcock Bayou bonds.
Sidewaht improvement bonds. Winter place bonds
and Galveston Agricultural, Horticultural and In-
dustrial Association bonds, which no interest was
being paid upon, and the legality of same was
questioned. In making out my financial state-
ments thereafter, Mayor Stone and Mr. Runge,
chairman of Finance Committee, suggested that
said indebtedness should be classed as doubtful,
u>0 they w ere so classed, and I continued to do so
up to the time I resigned from the city clerkship.
During the time, however, I repeatedly said to Mr.
Runge that I thought that it was injuring the city's
credit to mention any portion of her indebtedness
as doubtful, and my opinion was always that the
city should fund all of her indebtedness as created
by the City Council without questioning the
validity.
When you were city clerk, was it your habit to
bring papers to the mayor to sign without telling
him what ihev were for?
Yes, sir. I would have told the mayor of this par-
ticular ind *btedness when presenting same to him
for funding, certainly. Except in the first part of
Mayor Leonard's administration, when I would
not have givcm him anj' information voluntarily
for the reason that he had stated at different
times that he had 110 confidence in me, and did
not want me as clerk, but within a few months
a: ter he went into office every thing was arranged
satisfactorily between ua, and from that time on I
had 110 better friend than Mayor Leonard, and lie
had no better friend than I was, and the same re-
lations exist now. 1 would not consider it the duty
of the clerk to give any information unless asked
for it. He could give, certainly, without being
asked if he saw proper to do sa.
Were not these bonds pronounced invalid by a
committee of citizens and aldermen during Mr.
Leonard's administration?
No, sir. [Witness here explained the history of
the work of lhat committee, which never made a
report.]
Do you consider that, under any of the ordi-
nances, the Finance Committee have power to
fund a debt notoriously*pronounced invalid by the
city attorney, without first having the approval of
the City Council?
The ordinanc \ as I understand it, authorizes the
Finance Committee to pass upon the validity of
any claim presented for funding—to reject 01* ac-
cept such claim as they may deem proper. That
was always done by the Finance Committee dur-
ing Mayor Stone's administration. They sat from
day t i day, approved many claims for which bonds
were issued and rejected many others, none of
which the City Council knew any.hing of.
Question by Dr. Use—What would you consider
the duty of the clerk in this whole funding trans-
action?
The clerk's duty, as I understand it. is to receive
from the treasurer any claim or indebtedness
which ma3r be turned over to him by said treasurer,
make up voucher for same, examine the claim, and
if correct sign same, present claim to auditor and
Finance Committee for approva l,and if approved
prepare the bonds and present same, with the
vouchers, to the mayor in order that he may sign
the bonds. I do not consider it the clerk's duty to
tell the mayor anything about the claim unless the
mayor asked for information. No, I would not
have told Mr. Leonard in the first pare of his ad-
ministration anything unless he asked me, and
then I would have given him all the informati >n
possible. I would simply have handed him the
bonds to sign with the vouchers properyly ap-
proved.
The following testimony of R. H. Tiernan is also
given, as it is clumed te furnish a better idea of
his evi lence than was presented by the synopsis.
It will be seen.that The News presented the real
gist of 3Ir. Tiernan's remarks yesterday :
Were you present when the conversation took
place Mr. Walker has just referred to?
Yes.
Did I say that it was worth thousands of dollars
to Mr. Sealy that I had done this work of issuing
the bonds for him?
You said that the woiisyou did during the year
for the treasurer was worth a thousand dollars.
Don't you know that. I have done a great deal of
work for Mr. Sealy, that it is his duty as city treas-
urer to do ?
Yes. such as filling up bonds and coupons at-
tached thereto, and paying off emplovees, etc.
Have I not said often that' I done it as a mere
matter of accommodation, just as my predecessor
had done ?
Yes.
Tell the committee %he whole conversation be-
tween me and you and Walker in regard to this
bond matter.
You stated that you had done a great deal of
work for Mr. Sealy. in filling up these bonds for
him, and that you tho-'ght lie ought to give you
and Walker a suit of clothes. I recollect at the
lime I laughed at it as a good jokfe. When these
bonds were ready to be issued Major Hume came
up to the office to see about the bonds to be issued
to him. and I, with the city clerk and several oth-
ers, got after him, joking him to give us some-
thing for getting up his bonds with such dispatch,
and finally we ail went out and took a glass of beer
together. At. another time I came up to Dr. Use
and said: 4' Doc:or, have you got my $16,000 worth
of bonds ready? ' which was all fun. The officers
of the city are continually joking one another in
this fashion, and it is always taken as a joke and
in good humor.

Houston and Texas Central and Mis-
souri Pacific Railways.
The Missouri Pacific Railway Company has
established a line of Pullman Hotel Cars, run-
ning between St. Louis and San Antonio each
way daily. The Pullman Sleepiug Cars run-
ning between Galveston and Houston and St.
Louis, via the Houston and Texas Central
Railway, make direct connection both ways
wfbh Missouri Pacific trains at Denison, and pas-
sengers via the Houston and Texas Central
Railway can avail themselves of the con-
veniences afforded Texas travel by these hotel
cars between Denison and St. Louis. We.trust
that an appreciation of the advantages thus
accorded, will be evidenced by an increased
patronage of a through line formed by the_-e
roads.

Butter Adulteration.
LSt. Louis Republican.]
It is evident that the adulteration business is
giving the dairy interest of the Northwest a
good deal of trouble. The proceedings of the
butter, cheese and eggs convention at Cedar
Rapids, la., conaist very largely of complaints
against it, and demands for laws to prohibit it.
The business—we mean the adulteration of
butter and cheese—is constantly growing, and,
impossible as the thing n&y seem now, we
need not be surprised to find at 110 distant day
counterfeit eggs, so skillfully prepr.red as to
deceive the ordinary householder. Five years
ago butter adulteration was almost unknown.
Ail butter aud cheese were genuine, though all
butter and cheese were not good; and the im-
mense capabilities for dairy farming of the
West promised to make the shipment of these
commodities to Europe a most important
and profitable business. But our butter and
cheese exports go chiefly to the English mar-
ket, and the English have not the same indif-
ference or patience on the subject of adultera-
tions that Americans' exhibit. They know
what good butter and cheese are, and they
will Hot consent to be imposed on. This ex-
plains the striking statement made in the
Cedar Rapids convention that our exports of
dairy products for the first six months of the
present year show a falling off of 50 per cent,
irom the corresponding period of last year—a
decrease which is attributed largely to the dis-
gust of foreigners at our counterfeit butter
and cheese. This makes the matter one ol 110
small national concern, and warrants the loud
demand which the members of the convention
make for prohibitory legislation against the
practice.
And yet, the evil, serious as it is, is probably
one without remedy. It is easy enough to
enact prohibitory laws against adulteration,
but it is not so easy to make these laws effect-
ually preventive. We have a prohibitory
stature governing the sale of oleomargarine in
Missouri; and there are still more severe stat-
utes of a similar character in Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin, New York and other States. But
they have little effect. The manufacturer of
the obnoxious counterfeits thrives and in-
creases in spite of them; and as tallow,the basis
of oleomargarine, is worth only one-third as
much as good butter, we are f< reed to look
forward to the dismal time when pure but-
ter will pass into the category of historical curi-
osities. At first the manufacture of adul-
terated chesse and butter was confined to
special factories established for the purpose;
but the creameries themselves have got at it,
and a large proportion of the counterfeit com-
modities comes from the very creameries in
Northern Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin that
once were vehement in their denunciations of
the business. They have been compelled to
resort to the process to avoid being undersold.
Genuine butter is worth 30 to 35 cents a pound
at wholesale; first-rate oleomargarine can be
made for 12 cents; and this difference is too
large not to be turned to account. The manu-
facture of oleo margarine and butterine can
not be prohibited, since a man has a right to
make even poison if he wants to; but he has
no right to impose his adulterated and noxious
preparations on the public under a false name.
All that legislatures can attempt is to force the
counterfeits to be broadly branded and sold
for what 1 hey really are—and {it is not clear
that even this can bo brought about.

One Hundred Thousand Dollars* Year
to Keep Up Establishments.
iFrom the New York Sun.l
If rich people in England should see fit to
bring down their domestic expenditure to that
usual among families of similar means here,
they would very soon be able, not merely to
recoup themselves for the losses of several bad
harvests, but to save vast sums of money.
In our large Eastern cities family men with
anything under $25,000 a year spend more
freely than Englishmen with the same in-
come; but, as regards those with incomes over
that amount, it is quite another matter.
When Macaulay, before proceeding to India,
consulted Sydney Smith's experienced brother,
the famous u Bobus," as to expenses at Calcut-
ta, he was told that he could not be comfort-
able under ,£3000 a year, and that he could not
possibly get through* £5000. This is,in a measure,
true of th^ United States. It might safely be
asserted that in the whole of this country there
are not five persons, if as many, who spend on
their establishments §100,000. A careful esti-
mate, made a year or two ago by persons
eminently qualified to make it, brought such
expenditure up to $95,000. It included a town
house, a yact, a villa at Newport and a coun-
try seat.
What runs away with incomes of from
$50,000 to $250,000 in England is the keeping
up of country seats, hounds, hospitality and
game preserves. At Druiulanrig Castle, for
instance, one of its owner's ten residences,
there are eighty miles of grass drive kept in
order; at Gridge, more than forty. Add to
this acres of garden, and grass, and expenses
of parkkeeners and gamekeepars, it is easy to
see where the money goes. If there is a hunt-
ing establishment on a liberal scale, at least
$20,000 a year must be added.
Again, while the hospitality of an average
well-to-do American favorably compares with
that of an Englishman of similar means, that
of the broad-acred Englishman is immensely
greater than that of the American millionaire.
The latter gives some dinner partia1-, and, per-
haps, an annual bali, and keeps a dozen ser-
vants; the Englishman, 011 the other hand, be-
sides constantly entertaining in town, ofie'i
sits down to dinner for weeks at a time with
twenty guests staying with their servant-; in
his country house, and feeds from fifty to sixty
every day in his servants' hall, with as much
beef and beer as they please to consume. More
than this, he at times entertains whole schools
and parishes, besides giving away hundreds of
pounds in the shape of beef and blankets at
Christmas. He subscribes, too, to every public
charity in the county; sometimes in two or
three counties.
Merely to take a single example, there is
Lord D*rby, with ten man servants in his
house, and about forty more domestics feeding
daily at his board. Supposing to-morrow he
aud his wife should agree to struggle along on
$100,000 a year, he cou'd at leas save $80,000
a year; while were the Dukes of Westminster,
Devonshire and Bedford to do likewise, their
savings would be still greater. Supposing
Lord Derby to save at this rate for thirty
years, what an archimillionaire he would be-
come?
Twenty vears ago there died a queer old
bachelor, Lord Digbv, who owned llaleig.i's
ill fated home of Sherborne Castle. Ha was a
most liberal landlord, but did not care to
spend more than some $35,000 a year, and let
his money go on rolling up, investing it all
in 3 per cents. His income was not a fourth of
Lord Derby's, but he left in the funds $4,500 -
000. As a rule a peer leaves comparatively
little behind him; $1,000,000 would be regarded
as an unusually large sum for a man with
$300,000 a year to have, and there is*but one
case on record—of' Lord Dysart, an eccentric
recluse—of a peer leaving over $7,500,000 per-
sonalty.
On very large properties the surplus income
is chiefly expended in very costly improve-
ments. Thus the Duke of Devonshire hns
built Eastbourne and much of Buxton. The
Duke of Buccleuch has expended thousands at
Gratton, and both have put large sums in the
enterprises conuecfced w.th Barrow-in-Fur-
ness. Al>out $10,000,000 of Lord Bute's has
gone into docks at Cardiff. The late Lord
Westminster built and rebuilt probably no
less than 1000 houses in London, and Northum-
berland aud Sutherland reflect on all sides
the generous expenditures of the dukes of
their name; while beautiful churches, coin
modious schools and handsome homesteads
soon inform the traveler in Wiltshire and Bed-
fordshire that he is on the broad domain of
the Earl of Pembroke or the Duke of Bedford.
Had the vast sums thus spent been mainly put
in stocks, or bonds and mortgages, the present
holders of the lands might have been richer
men, but the country would have been in
many respects the loser, and it would be a
widely different looking region from what it is
to-day.
The English Language Banished.
[From the New York Times.]
The president of Liberia College (Africa)
has adopted the idea that the English is an im-
moral and degrading tongue, and has forbid-
den it to be taught in the college preparatory
department, except to a very few students.
Liberia College is not, perhaps, as well known
as Yale or Harvard, but there can be no
doubt that it exists, and is entirely worthy of
the Liberian republic. In spite of the rose-
colored statements which the advocates of
the colonization scheme have made con-
cerning Liberia, it is now pretty gen-
erally known that the republic consists of a
flag,"several hundred wild savages and the few
American negroes who have survived the
coast fever and are unable to escape from
Africa. It would be interesting to know the
true condition of Liberia College, but in the
absence of any disinterested and truthful ac-
count of it, we are justified in assuming that
it bears about the same resemblance to an
American college that Liberia bears to the
American republic. A few years ago the un-
willingness of the members of one of the lower
classes of the college to wear trousers in the
recitation-room led to some little feeling be-
tween the students and the faculty. Or, stay!
perhaps the trousers trouble occurred in the
theological seminary instead of the college. At
any rate, the faculty of one of these institu-
tions made a gallant stand in favor of com-
pulsory trougers, and the incident throws a
certain light on the character of Liberian in-
stitutions of learning.
The president who has lately condemned the
English language bases his action on the
ground that English contains words which
tend to degrade the negro. What these words
are he does not tell us. Can it be that he has
gained access to a slang dictionary, and has
mistaken ii for tiie latest edition of a standard
English dictionary ? Or has he been reading
a Western newspaper, and fallen into the error
of supposing that ''darky" or "negro spelled
with two g's" are pure English words? If
these are not the words to which he objects as
tending to degrade the negro, what is ic in the
English language which excites his indigna-
tion? Does he go so far as to regard all words
relating to the white-washing business as im-
moral, or all expressions referring to the mid-
night disappearance of chickens as expressions
insulting and degrading to the colored race ?
How an Amateur Missionary Society
IMstiiiffuished Itself.
The Cincinnati Gazette 1 elates the following:
The girls in one of our suburban villages
organized a missionary sewing society last
fali. They were very much in earnest, and,
of course, their zeal for the poor benighted
heathen knew no bounds, not even those of
common sense. A colored brother happened
along just as the society got in running order,
who was preaching the "Cause of tne Gos-
pel "in Liberia. Naturally the girls in their
enthusiasm were eager to help the little dar-
kies of that warm African republic. They
proposed to send them tracts, but this plan
was liiiady dropped for fear that the heathen,
ignorant ut ti;e use of tracts, would use them
as firekindlers. It was then suggested that
they send them canned meats and fruits, with
a grace printed on the can—the money for the
purpose to be raised by a fair; but this plan
was knocked in the head when ono of the
girls lugged out the encyclopaedia and read:
"Liberia, 10 degrees norih of the equator;
climate excessively warm; thermometer never
fails below 80 degrees; tropical fruits of all
kinds grow in great abundance; soil produces
sugar cane and maize almost without cultiva-
tion." Since the heathen in that quarter ol
the globe were in no immediate danger of
starvation it was decided that canned food
would be at a discount with them.
At last the difficult question of what was to
be done was settled, when a father of one of
the lair members gave the society 200 yards of
heavy red flannel. It was moved and carried
unanimously to make the material up into
twilied petticoats.
For several months the girls worked faith-
fully at their self-appointed task until it was
finished. There was the result of their weary
labors—a hundred oeautiiul red flannel petti-
coats, thick and warm enough for "Green-
land's icy mountains," certainly in no wav
fitted for " Africa's goidensand." After much
trouble and delay the society succeeded in get-
ting their box of "ladies' winter underwear"
shipped gratis to Liberia.
In the pleasant month of July, when the
mercury crawls up to 120 o in the shade, and
the inhabitants lie sleeping in the tall reeds
clothed principally in their native blackness,
when it is so hot that even the dogs are too
laz>' to howl at night, that identical mission-
ary box arrived in sunny Liberia. At first the
dusky population did not know what to do
with the contents; they were greatly puzzled
until at last one of the petticoats caught tire,
then they knew at once from the smell of the
smoke tnat they were intended merely as
a smudge for musquitoes. Thus the petticoats
have served a good, if not the intended pur-
pose, after all
The Peanut Crop and IVIarket.
A New York paper estimates the Virginia
peanut crop last year at about 1,600,000 bush-
els, worth at wholesale prices 80 cents a
bushel, $1,200,000 for the crop. Retailers pay
from 90 cents to $1 a bushel, getting forty
quarts to the bushel, they sell thirty-five quarts
to the bushel, and get 10 cents a quart—
$3 50. Peanuts yield an average of sixty
bushels to the acre in new ground, and from
thirty to forty bushels in old ground. The use
of phosphates and other preparations, however,
are rapidly doing away witn this difference, so
that an average of fifty bushels may be safely
struck. It costs $10 an acre to cultivate them.
Again the profit is manifest. Many men have
gone down there and bought their farms 011
credit, and have paid for them out of their
first crop of peanuts.
Pruning.
If you begin pruning fruit and ornemental
trees and shrubbery while young, and follow
it up each year, you can form just such a top
as you want. If your tree needs spreading
out cut the young shoots off just above a bud
on the outside of the shoot; and if you want
to train upward leave a bud on the upper side
of the limb where you cut it off.
Reported Railroad Accidents.
[To The Kews.1
Huntsville, Texas, December 7, 1881.—
There has been a canard going the rounds of
the Texas papers, taken from the associated
press dispatches, of a horrible railroad acci
dent near Corsicana, in which twenty-three
lives were lost and a number wounded. On
investigation it has been found that this acci-
dent occurred near Grapeland, on the Inter
national and Great Northern Railroad, and
that the unfortunate victims were convicts. I
desire to state that the report is untrue, so far
as the convicts are concerned. No convict has
been killed at any time, or anywhere on the
International and Great Northern Rcilroad, by
railroad accident. There was a collision near
Grapeland a few weeks ago, in which one or
two lives were lost, but 110 convict in forty
miles of there at the time. On November 8
freight collided with a convict work-train
near Lovelady, on the International and Great
Northern Railroad, but the convicts, about
fifty, and eight or ten guards, jumped off.
No one was seriously hurt; three convicts were
slightly bruised. Ia the confusion niue con-
victs unfortunately escaped.
T. J. Goree, Sup't Penitentiary.
Salmon of fine quality reached London a
short time ago from the rivers that empty in
to the sea on the coast of Labrador. The
steamship Diana, which carried thein, sailed
from Glasgow in June last, and during the
month of August stowed away in the freezing-
room some 6000 fish, weighing in all about
thirty-one tons, or an average of fourteen or
fifteen pounds per fish. When the refrigerat-
ing room was opened in London the salmon
were found to be in perfect condition, and, 011
being cooked, were pronounced excellent by
all who tasted them. _
