JtJtE VITIES.
—Division papers don't multiply.
—Unless Ben Butler is very careful he
will be the nert governor of Massachu-
setts.
—The only prize the English receive
when contesting with Americans is the
surprise.
—If the Mexicans can't smuggle any-
thing else, they will try to smuggle in
cases of yellow fever.
—Each season has its duties and re-
sponsibilities. Now is the time people
have got to eat oysters.
—Potter's committee has at last ac-
complished something. Mrs. Jenkshas
received a federal appointment.
—If " time is money," how much cash
does a tramp rattle in his pocket when
he is given an hour to get out of town?
—If the greenbackers want to sweep
the state with a tidal wave, let them
nominate a deaf and dumb man for con-
gress.
—At Paris the Americans have re-
ceived the award for the largest and
most impecunious collection of commis-
sioners.
—The Mexican troops at Vera Cruz
have the black vomit. Some of the offi-
cers have already thrown up their com-
missions.
—It is thought that Senator Hamlin
will not recover from his astonishment
at the Maine election in time to go back
to Washington.
—The executioner did not get to take
Nobeling's life, because the doctors got
the first chance at him. They did their
utmost to save his life.
—The higher classes—those living
more than 600 feet above the level of
the sea—are supposed to be exempt. It
is the lower classes that catch it.
—Edison can invent as much as he
pleases and not be called a liar. That's

get rid of Kearney that they are pawn-

ability than his predecessor, otherwise
he would not have lifted him out of his
seat.
—The Mexicans crossed over at El
Faso, broke up the jail and released sev-
eral murderers without any assistance
from the United States forces stationed
at that point. The climate is debilitat-
_ng on our troops.
—The harping of the Dallas Herald
on division reminds one of tLe story of
the talkative bore, who said to his
victim, the latter being hard at work at
the time, " I really hope I don't disturb
you." The reply was: "Not in the
least. I don't pay the least attention to
what you say."
STATE PRESS.
The Galveston Post of the 12th inst. thus
enigmatically replies to a German contem-
porary:
The San Antonio Freie Presse has once
more put on its war paint, and swings the
threatening tomahawk over the head of
the Texas jro?f, partially on account if old,
but well understood, matters, and par-
tially on account of its sudden friendship
for the Ireland organ, the Galveton News.
If the Freie Presse would only reflect for a
moment, or, at least, show some signs of
decency, it would recognize by its silence
the motives by which we are actuated, at
this time, in refusing to be drawn into a
controversy on the subject it seek? to re-
vive. By our silence in this matter we
show an unselfishness our contemporary
has nevecr lieen, and will never be, capable
of. However, if the Freie Presse insists
on diggicg up the hatchet, as far as we are
concerned, we have no occasion to dread
the consequences.
This is a virtual reassertion of the gen-
uineness of the /fe.vf-Schleicher interview
and an intimation that the silence of the
Post is to lie attributed to a desire not to
injure Schleicher's chances. The disa-
vowal by Mr. Schleicher of statements
and sentiments ascribed to him in the in-
terview is not noticed.
The Brer)ham Vcdksbofe contains a very
sensible editorial on the subject of quar .
tine, the concluding portion of which rcu is
as follows:
The position of the governor in this con-
troversy is very pitiable, considering that
it is a question' that involves the weal or
woe of a whole state, the trade and traffic
of which may be interrupted, causing
thereby incalculable damage. In the
opinion of the governor the sanitary laws
of our state allow every city <\ each
town or village to surround itself with a
Chinese wall, even where there is not the
slightest excuse for such precautions, and
when such proiieedrags block up the ave-
nues of trade and travel. Here is a sub-
ject the study of which can not be too
warmly recommended to the attention of
the next legislature. Reasonable and uni-
form laws, the execution of which should
be intrusted in proper.and safe hands, arc
a positive necessity to take the place of the
primitive condition of things that is
favored by the present regulations, which,
being unworthy of a civilized people,
should tie set aside as soon as p ssible.
" The sage of New F-raunfels,"' who
moulds the destinies of Comal county
through the m.edium of the Zeitung, is in
one of hi? most sarcastic moods again, and
thus takes notice of "the sage of Seguin"
in the last number of the Zeitung:
It is passing strange that many persons
are so brimfiJl of compassion and soft
gush, that when their "boss v and the ob-
ject of their idolatry, John Ireland, [note
by translator—the editor of tho Zeitung,
for three successive issues, has ceased to
call him honorable judge Ireland.] is shown
up in his true colors, they, the aforesaid
admirers of the Seguin sage, yell out as if
there was a pin sticking in them. But
these same tender-hearted Ireland worship-
ers, who slop over on such insufficient pro-
vocation, are as gentle as spring iamb with
mint sauce, when this same Johnny Ire-
land abuses Schleicher like he was a pick-
pocket, calls him a traitor to the interests
of the people, a friend of the swelled-up
bond-h« »lders, and other pet names. Of
course that is all right: and the man who
refuses to believe all this slush is, in the
opinion of the said Ireland worshipers, a
donkey, a political fanatic, who only votes
for Schleicher l»ecause he is a German. To
have to hear all this stuff is too much for
even the most patient donkev, and in the
words of old Blucher, we wish a millicn-
Jcreutz DOiinenoetter to happen to such
nonsense. Take your mister Ireland,
as far as we are concerned, put him up on
a pedestal as a Seguin idol and then fall
down and worship him as the Jews did the
folden calf; build a temnle for him, and
ang him up as a miraculous saint-picture,
make pilgrimages to his shrine, that you
may be relieved of all your sins and in-
firmities, (which are many, God knows,)
have him canonized right off by pope Leo
XIII—but as for us, " give us liberty or
give us death," but give us John Ireland
under no circumstances whatever, particu-
larly not when Schleicher is a majority
candidate.
The State Gazette suggests a new and
comprehensive way for raising funds for
yellow fever sufferers:
Suppose all the saloons, restaurants,
hotels and merchants of Austin were to
dedicate one day's profits to the uses of the
yellow fever sufferers. It would aggregate
many thousands of dollars and spt»k vol-
umes in favor of the capital city of Texas.
The Gazette reports that it is generally
understood that Gov. Davis will become a
candidate in the fifth district for congress.
His hopes have been inspired for success
in the belief that the vote will be so divided
between Hancock and Jones, that with a
solid radical vote he may run in. He is
satisfied tliat Jones is so far committed in
his candidaoy that he will not retire, and
ho knows that judge Hancock looks with
confidence to his election.
The Austin Statesman says:
We can not comprehend feelings or rea-
sons inducing a little coterie of violent
partisans and original secessionists of Gal-
veston to publish a most malevolent as-
sault upon John Hancock. They deny his
democracy, and only because he was not
a practical secessionist. If this be made
the test, more than half the followers of
the party must abandon its colors. This
assault upon judge Hancock is so wanting
in the spirit or fairness and in liberal anu
just thinking, that it can avail nothing
among intelligent people, and must,
through its violence, add to his strength.
If its philosophy governed the district and
* state it would involve the ruin of the com-
monwealth! Since states have been rein-
vested with freedom and bayonet® are no
more, differences of 18(50-1 are forgotten.
If the victorious north, whose sons we
* slaughtered, can afford to forget the
" rebels' crimes,'' surely the vanquished
rebel can confess oblivion when a unionist
*Uttieres to the creed of his democratic
youth and manhood, asserting tho same
theories and purposes in his age, and never
faithless to the party save vrhen tlie party
went to perdition and death. But by-
gones are ny-gones, and Hancock can serve
us more effectually than any rival of his
in or out of the party, or in or out of Gal-
veston.
The People's Advocate is the title of a
new campaign paper started at Houston.
It is of the Thunderbolt order and pitches
into office-holders, democrats, and office-
seekers generally. The Advocate hoists
The People's Ticket for Harris county, as
worthy the support of greenbackers and
working men. It goes for 44 fiat money,"
is opposed "to the infernal financial policy
that is fast making beggars of forty mil-
lions of people to enrich less than three
hundred thousand bondholders;'' demands
"a thorough and general reform in the
management of the public offices, the re-
duction of salaries and the abolition of all
useless offices and sinecures;" "that all
convicts shall be put in the penitentiary
and kept there," and "a reduction of all
taxes, state, county and national." The
greenback platform holds a conspicuous
place in its columns.
The Georgetown ("Williamson county)
Record speaks as follows of the late debate
at that place between the candidates for
congress in the fifth district:
On last Thursday Hon. John Hancock
and Col. Jones, candidates for congress,
spoke here to a good :tnd attentive audience.
The speaking took place in Taylor's hall,
and was crowded with eager listeners. We
were not personally present, but learn that
judge Hancock made one of his able and
masterly addresses, fully reviewing the
financial and political situation of the
times. He said the democratic party is
opposed to the national bank system; that
the republican part}' is responsible for the
infamous tariff laws; and that the policy
of this party was one of extravagance
and ruin. He claimed that the investiga-
tion by the Democrats into different de-
partments of the government had resulted
in a decrease of $:i<>,000,000. Much of tho
hard times that are on us are due to specu-
lation and extravagance. The present
money circulation is $22 22 per capita, and
says that money can now be procured on
good security at a lower rate of
interest than ever before. He paid
a glowing tribute to the worth and
greatness of the grand old democratic
party; extolled her virtues and declared
she would live long after her enemies
ceased to exist. The distinguished gentle-
man is one of the finest debaters in Texas.
He reasons closely, logically and effective-
ly, and makes everything so plain that no
one can misunderstand him. and in such
manner as to carry conviction to the
minds of his hearers. He is, without
doubt, one of the finest speakers in Texas.
Col. Jones's friends claim that he, too,
made a good speech. We know that the
< olonel is a pretty fair speaker, but he did
not have good ground on which to stand.
His positions are untenable and must ne-
cessarily leave him but little solid ground
on which to build.
STATE NEWS.
atascosa county.
Around Benton City the farms resemble
those in the older states. Our farmers
have orchards of peaches, plums, figs and
pears in abundance. We find here farms
of 300 to 500 acres in absolute cultivation,
not merely fenced. Messrs. McDaniel and
Lot Johnson have each 250 acres in com,
besides wheat, etc. This is without doubt
the best part of Atascosa county.
AUSTIN COUNTY.
Belton Beacon: Major Maetke was in
town Monday. He makes a good report
for Milheim. The health is good and the
crops are good, leaving nothing to be de-
sired A new steam mill and cotton gin
has been erected by Mr. J. A. Wilkins on
the Hall Davis place. He gins for l-14th,
or 75c. per 100 i>ounds of lint In the
month of August, Messrs. Landrum 6c
Manley, on their steam gin near Nelson-
ville, ginned 75 bales of cotton. They
ginned and pressed nine bales in one day.
Owing to the decline this week in prices
of cotton, and to the beautiful weather for
gathering, there has been quite a falling
off in receipts.
bee county.
Beeville, the county site of Bee county,
is a flourishing village, steadily improving.
Tliis comity is one of the best as well as
oae of the most prosperous counties in
southwestern Texas, containing a popula-
tion of about 2500. The genial aitd
hospitable character of its citizens,
its fine lands and peculiar adapta-
bilitv to both stock raising and agri-
culture have drawn to this county many
settlers from the coast towns. Prosperity
and enterprise are visible everywhere, the
laws are strictly enforced, church and
school privileges are excellent. Much fine
stock is now raised in this county, and
breeders meet with encouraging success.
The Hereford breed of cattle are believed
to be 1 >etter adapted to our climate than
the different breeds of Durkams.
bell county.
Hon. J. D. Savers addressed a large and
appreciative audience at this place on Sep-
tember 12. He made a straightforward
Democratic speech, as might "have been
expected from the position he occupies
ana the reputation he enjoys. He showed
the danger and folly of running off after
false lights. It is" thought by many that
the effort was the best ever made in Bel-
ton as a sound, simon-pure democratic
talk. He more than fulfilled the expecta-
tions of his friends. His eulogy of Hon.
O. M. Roberts w as just, eloquent and en-
thusiastically received. Bell county is
well pleased with uer first choice for lieu-
tenant govei n >r. a Democrat.
bexar county.
San .Antonio Express* Sept. 15: Mr. W.
M. Locke, who lives on the Olmos, a few
miles north of the city, has just threshed
out his oat crop, which has been stacked
since reaping. The oats were raised on
fivr* measured acres, and produced 550 care-
fully measured bushels, thus averaging 110
bushels to the acre Mr. T. B. Butts, the
agfiit for J. B. Price, contractor for the
mail route between this city and Corpus
Christi, explains the irregularities on the
route to have originated from the inability
of the sub-contractors to meet their obliga-
tions. Mr. Galloway, southern agent of
the route, was expected to arrive last night
to straighten matters, ami horses and new
Concord coaches are coming, when Mr.
Price will take direct charge of the line.
brown county.
Banner: On Saturday last, according
to appointment. Judge Hancock addressed
the largest and most enthusiastic audience
that ever assembled in our court-house.
He sj>oke considerably over tw o hours and,
although the people were crowded almost
to suffocation, they retained their positions
and paid the strictest attention to the
whole of the distinguished speaker's re-
marks. The judge made by far the ablest
effort ever made in our court-house: his
arguments were convincing: his logic un-
answerable; the effect of his speech ex-
tremely happy and lasting, and many a
democrat, who was thinking of reconnoiter
ing greenback pastures, became satisfied
with democratic forage, and will stray no
longer from his "father's house." In his
speeches and private conversations denies
the sentiments imputed to him by Schlei-
cher; says he stands square upon the Aus-
tin platform, and especially favors the for-
mal rei>eal of the resumption act.

Granhury Vidette: Cotton has not been
coming in this week so very lively Tie
late rain was not in the least destructive to
the cotton crops, as it was accompanied bv
no winds. It has proved of vast benefit to
the f ai mer Cotton on the uplands this
season is yielding far better than in the

Cleburne Chronicle: This county is
steadily advancing in wealth and prosper-
ity . Cleburne grows faster than any in-
land town in the state, and extends and
enlarges her business to keep ]>ace with the
progress of the hour. Our business men
are full of enterprise, our merchants are
pushing their trade into all the adjoining
counties Johnson county will have 15,-
h >use, except two little children, aged
about 5 and * years, respectively, who
were at the time engaged in a childish
frolic indoors; when suddenly the back
door was entered by a very large and fero-
cious wild catamount, which proceeded to
walk leisurely, and to all appearances ob-
servingly through the house, without
ever manifesting the least ill-will towards
the children. Upon arriving at the door
he sprang off several feet on the ground,
gave a few hideous screams, and after tak-
ing a view of things on the front yard,
turned and walked quietly back by the
house, and left the yard at or near the
place where he was supposed to have come
in. Word was immediately dispatched to
the neighbors near by, who soon collected
quite a number of dogs and gave chase;
but the cunning monster successfully
eluded the vigilance of his pursuers, and
made good his escape Cotton picking is
the liveliest business in these parts just
now.
KIMELE COUNTY.
Work on the court-house still progress-
ing. Rain is needed.
M'CULLOCH COUNTY.
District court has been in session during
the past week, and a great deal of bit intss
has been transacted. Several criminal
cases were disposed of, and altogether the
court deserves the highest compliment for
the manner in which its business was con-
ducted. To the credit of the county be it
sai I, that only four indictments were found
during district court, and one of those was
for a misdemeanor. During court there
was a great numl e~ of people here
Judge Hancock made one of his telling
speeches here, and from conversation with
the people of this county, I am sure he will
be elected McCulloch county contains a
population of about 2000, and taxable per-
sonal property, consisting of cattle, 20,000
head; sheep, 32,000 head; besides a variety
of other lands of personal property,
amounting in total to about £100,000. Set-
tlements are to be found in many parts of
the county.

sickness throughout the country, fatalities
have been few in Mason county A pro-
tracted meeting was commenced at the M.
F. church last Friday evening. Several
able divines are present.
MILAM COUNTY.
Rockdale Becord, Sept. 14: Millions of
worms are appearing on the cotton in this
county, but it is too late for them to do any
harm beyond making the staple trashy.
The stalk and bolls of the plant look
healthy, and it is fruited from bottom to
top Cameron Sentinel: Trade is becom-
ing every day more lively as the cotton
season comes on The Mexican fandango,
which cam© off on last Saturday night,
and at which there were a good many male
Americans in attendance, was a true rep-
resentation of similar hilarious entertain-
ments on our border, with which those
fa„iiliar with frontier life are acquainted.
MONTAGUE COUNTY.
The Montague North- West gives a rather
gloomy picture of the cotton prospects in
that county. It says the great amount of
wet weather in June and July caused too
rank a growth, which so shaded the plants
that the boll worm has done a good deal of
injury, and recent dry weather has caused
squares to shed.
RED RIVER COUNTY.
Clarksville Times: Corn is selling from
30 to 40 cents a bushel Cotton is now-
coming in lively Cotton sells from 9%
to 10 cents, with some 25 or 30 bales com-
ing in daily.

Canton Chronicle: The number of chil-
dren in this county between the ages of 8

colored; total, 1413. We have fifty-two
school communities in this county. Five
of them are colored The assessed value
of unrendered property in this county
amounts to #262,452. This, added to the
assessed value of the rendered list, amounts
to $2,102,761 Last Monday Boam Moore

lives near Edom. was in town on business
last Monday. He reports cotton crops
much better than was anticipated a short
time ago, and that corn and potato crops
are excellent.

WASHINGTON COUNTY.
Brenham Banner, Sept. 15: It is esti-
mated that not less than twenty thousand
dollars per day has been paid out for cot-
ton during the "last two weeks Turkevs
are worth from 40 to 50 cents each; chick-
ens, 10 to 12)4 cents; ducks, 20; geese, 35;
eggs, 8 cents per dozen: lard, 10 cents per
pound; sorghum sirup, 40 cents per gallon;
new corn, 30 cents per bushel Quite a
number of our farmers were in town yes-
terday in search of cotton pickers, some of
whom spoke of going to Houston in search
of hands. The fact is, Washington county,
this year, has raised more cotton than she
has 'hands to pick Mr. Jacob Benson.
aged about sixty-five years, and an old
citizen of this county, living about six
miles east of town, a few days ago had a

gave bond for his appearance to answer a
charge of assault with intent to kilL Mrs
Benson died on Thursday from the effects

rested him, bringing him to town and
lodging him in jail.

a continued complaint of small margins, or
none at all, with uncertainty over the future
of the goods trade; but only on fine clothing
wools have they, as yet, refused positively to

ers called attention to the comparatively ready

COTTON.
The demand to day has been active and gen-
eral. Factors were free sellers and met the

The sales are the largest for any one day this
season and amount to 4380 bales, which in-
cludes «>24 bales taken after 'change last even-
ing. Nine firms participated in the purchases,

Bermuda Grass for Hay—Inquiries.
[To the News.]
I desire to know from some one of your
numerous subscribers, who have "had
practical experience in cultivating the
Bermuda grass (digetaria dactvlon, of
Elliott,) on the alluvial soils in our coast
counties, its value for hay as compared
with the best fimothy grass hay of the
middle states in nutritive qualities; its
average yield in tons per acre on rich
lands; its average height at maturity, when
not grazed by animals; and the number of
cuttings or crops of grass for hay it affords
from April to November annually. 1 trust
someone of our intelligent planters will
favor me with a categorical answer to my
interrogatories, and thereby much oblige
an Ex-Farmer.
A New York chemist suggests a cheap
and convenient method of disinfecting 01*
deodorizing a room or closet. He saj's
that the common phosphorous matches, if
wet, give out a vapor of nitrate of ammonio,
which is united with ozone, the life-sup-
porting quality of oxygen. Tho ozone
purifies the atmosphere by consuming or
disintegrating all decaying or hurtful mat-
ter, reducing to its primal elements, which
find their proper and healthful function in
the air. The
well known,
of producing
being put in practice by everyone. The
matches will need to be wet about once a
day and left to stand in a bottle or glass.

JASPER COUNTY.
Jasper Nexos-Boy, Sept. 12: Rather a
strange and really frightful incident oc-
curred a few days ago at the residence of
one Mr. Poindexter, who lives some ten
miles south of Jasper, on the Wiess bluff
road. The members of tho family, it
seems, were all some distance from the
Tuesday, September 17.1873.
There was an active and general demand for
the leading staple to-day, and although a con-
cession of %c. is quoted, it is hardly fair to say
that the market is that much lower, for quota-
tions could not well have been realized at the
close of business yesterday. Over thirty-five
hundred bales of the sales to-day were taken
for foreign account. There is very little change
in the aspect of the leading markets at the
close, although they showed a strong tone
during the forenoon. Providence and Fall
River reports indicate quiet markets at un-
c nged prices for print cloths. Manchester is
dull but not lower.
The News special from New York reports
large sales of Galveston sterling against cotton.
The arrival of the steamship Horden will not
ease the demand for freight room, as she was
engaged full long ago. The delay of the steam-
ship State of Texas is also an unknown cir-
cumstance just at present. Sail room, how-
ever. is being taken up more freely within the
last couple of days at quoted rates.
Gold continues steady; the rate at New York
is 100^, and the recent spread of the green-
back movement in this state is contributing its
quota to prop the premium. See special to the
News from New York.
Meats were firmer to-day and spot prices
were advanced. The local supply is light*
Sale is easier and holders of recently arrived
shipments are waiting for bids. In the mean-
time the limited orders being filled have not
brought about any modification of the quoted
price.
Sugars continue firm and northern markets
are firmer and the indications are that the re-
cent advances will be fully sustained and a
further advance is not improbable.
Hides are firmer, but the wool market is in
a collapsed condition. Northern advices by
mail,confirmed by to-day's telegram from New
York to the News, indicate a very unsatisfac-
tory condition of the maoket there.
Concerning the out-look for the fall trade,
the following from the New York Bulletin will
be found interesting:
WOOL.
As compared with last season, there Is not
so much general animation in this tradet but
business apnears to be in a healthier condition.
Pretty much all the principal dealers have a
hopeful view of the future, without, however,
indulging in expectations of extraordinary
movements. They say that, with few excep-
tions, the grower and the buyer met upon con-
servative ground tills season, and, in decided
contrast to last year, the clip was marketed
without being run v an extravagant rate
through sensel?s.; competition, and, now offer-
ed at merely a fair advance over cost, affords
tne consumer an opportunity for selecting at
rates which are unquestionably low in com-
parison with a long series of years past. It is
further suggested that an additional aid to
business will be found in the fact that manu-
facturers were very moderate buyers in the
.can. 10@12c.
