BREVITIES.
—"While driving a gentleman through
a park in Paris during a thunder-storm,
the jehu crossed tyimself devoutly and
uttered many pious ejaculations. "That's
right," observed the passenger, "you
do well to pray in time of danger."
44 Yes, it is right dangerous here, but
"vchen we get out where there are no
trees I don't care a d—n," responded
jehu. Moral—Now the election is over,
the candidates don't care a d—n either.
—The negro is getting his rights
even a way up in Connecticut. One
was lynched there the other day for
rape.
—Nobody, not even the police, will
associate with the surviving Fort Worth
stage robber. Such are the consequences
of crime. Poor fellow, how lonesome
he must be until the stage gets in, or
rather he gets in the stage!
—Butler has been anxious to ruin the
Massachusetts democracy for many
years, and the Massachusetts democracy
has been anxious to kill off Ben. Both
lave succeeded, but neither is happy.
—It is proposed to send specimens of
American products to Mexico for ex-
hibition ; and to pursue a conciliatory
policy toward that country in the hope
of reclaiming it. This policy may pos-
sibly be productive of good results.
Let us all hope so, but it reminds one
very much of the following little inci-
dent:
A Chicago clergyman was aroused at
midnight last week to go and pray by
the bedside of a dying man. On ascer-
taining that the unfortunate being was
a director in a gas company, he said to
the messenger: "Well, I don't know
that there is any use in my going; it'll
just be a waste of good praying; still, I
suppose, it's my duty,"' and reluctantly
accompanied him.
—Nearly all the newly elected candi-
dates have promised great things in the
way of reform and retrenchment. We
hope they will lose no time in bringing
about the millennium. The good work
can't begin too soon.
—A gentleman who was very much in
need of money, once requested a friend
to pay a debt he was owing.
" I'll pay it just as soon as I possibly
can," was the reply.
" Do me a favor and pay it a little
sooner, won't you, that's a good fei-
low." 4
—An old offender being brought up
before the recorder for drunkenness.
His honor sternly asked:
" What defense or excuse have you
against the charge of habitual drunken-
ness? "
"Habitual thirst, your honor," was
the reply.
" Moral—Some men can't help running
for office.
—Happy is the man who has never
been born," sighs an unhappy patient.
Yes, but there is not one man in a thou-
sand that has that luck.
—The press laws of Germany have
"been very much modified of late. At
present an editor has only to report un-
der oath at police headquarters once a
week instead of every day, as formerly.
The world moves.
—Greenback nominations are very
mi :h like the bequest of the old pauper
to his son, John: "To you, John," said
a dying man, "I will give $10,000.''
" Why, father," said the sou. " you
know you haven't a dollar in the
world." '"Of course I haven't," ex-
claimed the indignant father, "you
must work for it, John—you mus>w<)i k
for it!"
—A congressman is a gentleman sent
away off to Washington for the good of
his own state.
—The result of the rsreenback wing
of the Massachusetts democrats nom-
inating Ben Butler for governor is very
similar to the experience made by the
man who, during a shipwreck, fastened
a life preserver about his hips instead
of under his arms, and plunged into the
water. The position of the life pre
perver stuck his head under water and
U£t ^ there, but permitted him to
U^-ate his legs above the surface.
STATE PRESS.
San Antonio Express says f?iat in
that city a great deal of interest is felt in
the race for congress in the fifth district
between John Hancock and \\ ash Jones.
Hancock is the favorite.
The Meridian Blade remarks:
Several jealous dailies are denouncing
Cjie Galveston News because it published
an honest account of the Montgomery
county bulldozing and gave both sides a
fair hearing.
The Denison Herald remarks:
The race between Jones and Hancock
for congress is very cloce. with Jones lead-
ing. We sincerely trust Mr. Hancock
may not be defeated, as that result would
be a calamity on the entire state.
The Pilot expresses its mortificat on and
indignation at the result of the election for
a member of the legislature from Brazos
county. Five white men and a negro
were candidates, and so closely was the
vote divided that the latter received a
plurality of six votes. The Pilot says:
This dreadful result was brought about
by the pre°ence of two white candidates
in the held, both of whom were positively
objectionable to a large number of white
voters and absolutely obnoxious to a very
respectable number.
Mr. W. J. Dial has retired from editorial
connection with the East Texas Beacon,
and Mr. W. P. Hayter assumes the entire
management of the paper.
The editor of the Fort Worth Democrat
gives way to a fit of despondency, and ex-
claims:
If there is any unusual distinction ac-
corded to one class of individuals above
another in the great hereafter—if there is
any place "a little higher than the
angels," where suffering mortals are per-
mitted to enter as a compensation for the
ills of the flesh suffered on this terrestial
sphere—it should be reserved for Texas
editors. We verily and sincerely believe
there is no class of people more scientifi-
cally tortured and persistently tormented
than they. If they are conservative and
non-committal, they are abused for not
daring to entertain and express an
opinion. If they have the temerity to ex-
Ess an opinion, they are abused "for tak-
the wrong side, by one party or the
er. Such are their trials and tribula-
tions that it is no wonder thev turn gray
in their youth, and die while they are
young and virtuous. Our consolation is
in our firm belief in the law of compensa-
tion. " Whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth."
It takes a good deal of chastening to get
the old Adam out of some folks.
A good many moral lessons are being
drawn by the papers from the results of
the late election. The odium of the con-
vention system, which had become, by its
abuse, unpopular in local elections, has in
a great degree given place to disgust at
the general scramble for local offices and
the election of candidates by small frac-
tions of the entire vote instead of majori.
tie6. The Sherman Register, speaking for
Grayson county, remarks:
The democracy of the county have been
taught one or two lessons which we ear-
nestly trust they will never forget. They
have"been taught that organization is ab-
solutely essential to success. The Register
labored faithfully to point out the danger
of defeat for some offices where a number
of democrats were running and only one
candidate of the greenback—republican
combination—and urged organization for
the fight. Through the prejudice against
conventions our advice was not heeded.
The result has justified our fears. The
democracv of Grayson county must make
up their minds to strict organization here-
after.
In Smith county, however, where can-
didates were nominated by a democratic
convention, the result was no more satis-
factory. The Tyler Democrat says:
The ticket put forth by the convention
in this county, was, as we predicted before
and after the convention, aefeated by ma-
jorities ranging from 12 to 300. ^one re-
gret more than we do the existence of a
state of things in this county which has
resulted in placing prominent republicans
in some of the offices—radicals with whom
we have had bitter contests in the past,
aud from whom we rescued political power
in Smith county by the conceited action
of a united democracy. Wheu it is known
that the usual democratic majority in a
vote of 3500 is only about 300, it requires
no stretch of imagination to see that the
•democrats could not afford to j
upon a local question, and one, too. which
would not be affected, so far as the elec-
tion of most of the officers was concerned
by the election of either one man or the
oiher. We allude to the anti-subsidy or-
ganization.
The Williamson County .9un proposes,
like some other papers, that the laws are
in fault as regards the prevalence of crime
and the delays in its punishment in Texas.
The News has heretofore pointed to the
fact that our criminal laws are quite as
rigorous as those of older states, but the
Sun asks:
Perhaps the penalties for crime under
existing statutes are already ade uate. but
might we not, in a much jarrenkr degree,
assure the certainty of their enforcement
by providing for the immediate arraign-
ment of criminalsThe man who has
committed murder or theft", or any other
crime, knows that if he can only delay the
day of reckoning for a year or two bis
chances of acquittal are greatly enhance 1.
We do not desire to be understood as re
commending the immediate trial of all of-
fenders under all circumstances. We grant
there may be causes for the delay of trials,
the justioe of which can n t be ignored
without doing violence to every principle
of right; but such cases, it seems to us.
could be provided for by wise legislation,
and still give society the benefit of more
speedy trials, and consequently a more
rigid enforcement of law.
This view of the subject has often been
presented : but the judges and other offi-
cers of the law are not intrusted with any
greater discretion in Texas than elsewhere,
or any more than seems proper to secure
the rights of the accused and to protect the
innocent. Too much haste and vindictive
feeling may be as bad as too much delay
and apathy.
The San Antonio Freie Presse contains
the following political obituary of judge
Ireland*
Although all the returns from various
parts of the district have not been receved
as yet. it is certain that Schleicher is
elected by a majority of at least 4000.
The defeat of Ireland is a painful one, but
it is deserved, and we would give him the
advice, if he is disposed to accept good ad-
vice at all, to retire permanently to the
shades of private life. This last campaign
has cooked his goose for him. With his
stupendous self-conceit, it is not impos-
sible that he may make another attempt
at some high office: hence we take
the occasion to assure him that al- j
most rny candidate can beat him. !
His fame is a thing of the past.
He has not only sacrihed a portion of
his fortune, but also a portion of his char-
acter. He has been shown up in his true
eharactor, and we have seen with what a
thin varnish of civilization the natural
savagery of the man is covered. He has
left upon the minds of the people the same
impression that is created on viewing a
dead friend, that you have seen always
laughing and cheerful. The decaying
corpse is but an ugly counterfeit of the
original. From now on, whenever the
name of Ireland is mentioned, the repul-
sive picture rises up before the imagina-
tion. Hence, we say? let him bury him-
self in retirement at begum, and cultivate
oblivion. Requiescat in pace.

Weatherford Times. Nov. 6: Shortly
after 10 o'clock, on Mondav morning, a
terrible death occurred at the Sikes house.
Bud .Tones, son of Stephen .Jones, came to
Weatherford from his Colorado horn" on
the 20th of October. Up to Saturday last
he was in the en 'ovment of (rood health,
but late in th»> day he had severe bilious
s . mptoms which "alarmed him exceeding-
ly. Drs. Miliken and Simrrous were sum-
moned. and in exain'ning the case leame I
that six weeks ngo the youn.r man. while
-leeping in his tent in Colorado, was
bitten on the lip, nose and forehead
bv a polecat. No attention was paid
to the circumstance, as the bites were not
serious, until afrer his arrival here. For
some reason or other the thing preyed
upon his mind all last week, and several
times the poor fel'ow spoke of the occur-
rence in such a manner as to exhibit an in-
tense uneasiness. However, nothing start-
ling occurred until his bilious attack,
when he became alarmed. From the hour
he was taken sick until his rteath he suf-
fered intensely, and gave every idication
of hvdrophobia, going into spasms at the
sight of water, and other evidences of this
frightful malady.

Tyler Democrat and Remrtcr, Nov. 9:
We are glad to learn that our farmers are
planting more wheat than usual. The
establishment of flouring mills in various
portions of the county has stimulated
planting, aud planting will stimulate the
erection of more mills. The present low
price of cotton may vet prove an advan-
tage if it directs the attention of our plant-
ers to the necessity of supplying all home
wants at home.

COMMERCIAL.
news Office, Monday, Nov. 11, 1878.
There was a iair demand for the leading
staple to-day, but buyers' wants were not
so urgent as to compel them to concede
Saturday's quotations, and sales were con-
i ned to five purchasers, who claim that
*hey bought at lower prices than they paid
en Saturday. The market was, in conse-
quence of the unusual diversity of opinion,
officially pronounced weak and irregular.
Sterling was strong and quoted higher
at New York and New Orleans. Gold is
still at 100J^, although United States c-20s
have declined several points at London.
Cotton freights by sail are steadier, and a
charter to Havre was effected to-day at %c.
The receipts at the ports still fall short
of last year's figures considerably, but the
movement to New Orleans has not begun
in earnest. Memphis received over seven
thousand bales to day.
Our special from New York says that
private telegrams, dated Liverpool, 5 p. m.,
quote "cotton weak with more failures.''
This is at variance with the press da-
patches and with those received at the ex-
change.
There was a fair business done in hides
to-day and at steady prices.
The receipts of wool by rail were large,
but the greater portion of the consign-
ments were for reshipment.
Provisions remain weak and drooping in
price, but there is a good djinand for ship-
ment to the interior.
Corn was offered more freely to-day at a
slight reduction on previous prices. Oats
were easy and unchanged. Hay is lower
and the supply is ample.

The Cincinnati Price Current of
Thursday, 7th instant, says the winter
parking season has not progressed suf-
ficiently to offer comparative figures of
much interest. It may be observed, how-
ever, that the first week in the new season
witnesses a large increase in the receipts
and packing of hogs at leading points, com-
pared with a year ago. Here in Cincin-
nati the receipts for the past week have
been 44,<574, against 17.317 last year: at
Chicago, about lt>5,< CP, against 82,731 last
vcar. The total packing at the six lea li-'g
cities for the week is approximately 225,-
000, against 117,000 last year, and 80,000
in 1870.
With the increasing supply of hogs there
has also been a tendency to lower prices
of both hogs an I the hog product, and an
increasing disposition to operate for fu-
ture. by both packers and buyers. Green
short rib sides are selling at 3>£c. for De-
cember delivery, but some curers find no
inducement at this figure, contending that,
although apparently low, the outlook does
counted on the present value of the hog1—
it would seem that the inducements are
sufficient to warrant the risk of purchases,
in view of the fact, that in auy event the
loss must be small, while the chances of
profit are fair; still the trade doee not
seem to view it in this light, and the lower
prices go the less the disposition manifest-
ed to take hold, but there is a bottom to it
some place and it will be reached sooner
or later. In the meantime hogs are plenty
and lower prices are expected,
THE LOUISIANA SUGAR CROP.
The Louisia- a Si-gar lime! publishes an
interesting table of the total acreage of
cane in St. Marv, the leading sugar parish
of the state, and adds: "Thus it appears
that St. Marv, which last year made 10.-
740 hogsheads of sugar, this year has about
2 >.5(»0 ar->ents of cane, and as the crop s
unusually good, it is safe to estimate her
p es nt crop at ' pwartls if 20,000 hojrs-
nn.ids. The cro • is very nearly rq lal y
divided between plant cane and rattoons
or stubbles and as the latter have a re-
mirkablv fine * stand,' less than the usual
a Tfp.gp will be re«v»rved for seed. Hence
we will nnt l»o surpr sed if St. Mary's crop
this year reaches 'Jo,000 hogsheads of su-
gar.*'
The Terrebonne I*i'orrrtss says all the
planters have commenced rollng, and
judges from their beaminc countenance
that the yield of cane muse oe a good one.
TOBACCO ITEMS.
The New York Tobacco Leaf supplies the
following items:
Specimens of very fine tobacco, equal to
the best Virginia wrappers, have been
raised in Texas.
A corres|)ondent from Goldsboro to the
Dauvil e iN. C.) News says: "From the
success of tobacco-growing in this section
it will not be long oefore it succeeds cot-
ton altogether, as the farmers are perfect-
ly startled by the few experiments made
by some planters thi3 season.''
"Jamaica is said to be now one of the
heaviest tobacco-producing countries in
the world. Her principal customer is Ger-
many. In quality it is ranked second only
to that of Cuba, and is often sold as genu-
ine Havana tobacco.
"Women love tobacco," says an ex-
change. "Why, only the other day," it
adds, "a lady "was found on beard of a
Mexican steamboat, entering the port of
Galveston, Texas, with 2000 cigars neatly
sewed up in the seams of her petticoat.
To be sure the custom officers miscon-
strued her. and a local paper savs: 4 He
took the noopskirt to headquarters, and
those cigars will be sold by the govern-
ment as confiscated property.'"
Late advices from Cuba announce that
the tobacco question in the Vuelta Abajo
district has be'-oine one of great moment
to the inhabitants. The precarious con
dition of the growers is attributed to three
causes—the shortness and inferiority of
the last crops, the imprudent and back-
ward srstein of cultivation, a id the free
introduction of Porto Rico tobacco.
STature, a German scientific monthly,
gives an account of a certain " cigar bug,*
which it says is to be found in North
America and the West Indies, and often
taken to Europe along with the tobacco
exported. That little silvery-looking bu<*
known as the Elaphidion b"roratum, feeas
exclusively on the Cuban plant; but there
are two other kinds resembling certain
kinds (Anobiuin. and Ptinus) usually to be
found in herbs and old furniture, which
feed on the tobacco plant growing in the
United States. The C'athcramus Tabaci
are often ensconced in a cigar, and not dis-
covered by the smoker befoire the unknown
inmates are undergoing a process of roast-
iug. To the great terror of consumers and
smokers this kind of vermin has beea very
frequent in the l;est American cigars con-
sumed in Germany. At first it was be-
lieved that this bug originated from a
species known as Dermeste* Vuipiniis,
which is usually found in large quantities
on American "hides imported into Ger-
many.
COTTON.
The demand continues good, but at low-
er prices, and the market at the close to-
day was reported " weak and irregular at
unchanged quotations.'' Sales 340:4 bales,
inclusive or 500 bales sold after 'change
hours on Saturday.
Liverpool closed steady for arrivals, but
at a decline of 1-02,^1-lOa. At New York
futures closed a couple of points lower,
and barely steady.

not justify the investment. Boxed meats
for December are selling at 2X@3c. for
shoulders and 4^'c. for long and short clear
sides. At the present prices for hogs there
is a manufacturing margin at these figures
for meats.
If foreign buyers pursue the policy which
the domestic trade of the south nas ad-
hered to the past season, in purchasing on
the hand-to-mouth plan, or as needed, and
leaving the manufacturer here to carry
the accumulated product, then it would
seem likely that continued low prices may
be looked for, and even present values may
be materially discounted.
In our article last week on the close of
the summer pork packing season, occurred
a typographical error in the statement of
aggregate production of meats and lard
for the past year, which should have read
1,770,000,000 pounds, instead of 1,970,000,000
pounds.
THE DECLINE in HOG PRODUCTS.
The Chicago correspondent of the Cincin-
nati Price Current writing under date of
the 5th inst., says:
The activity in provisions noted in my
last has continued during the past week,
with prices constantly declining, until the
article of mess pork reached the lowest
»int in the annals of the trade, <0 00 per
arrel. The stock of old pork, which was
72,000 barrels on the 1st, is the heaviest
ever carried into a new season, and its de-
pressing influence extends to all other ar-
ticles, until it has demoralized the whole
trade, and the future is enveloped in as
much mystery and doubt as at any pre-
vious time this season : it seems to make
little difference to consumers how low
prices go, they do not take hold except in
a hand-t»mouth way and the large volume
of the trading is speculative, though there
is some improvement in the demand for
foreign account. Prices are low, almost
without precedent,and at figures named for
future deliveries—which arc aire ad v dis-
