A little side issue iu the Ohio campaign

is known as the Russell law% requiring, amoug
other things, that astrologers, fortune-tellers,
mediums, etc., shall, in cities of the first grade,
pay an annual license of £>00. Cincinnati is
the only city in the 8tate having the requisite
population. A certain class of extreme spiritu-

to take out licenses, and are endeavoring to
make political capital out of their " niartyr-

Ir the Democrats in the House purpose pass-
ing a tariff bill they are able to do so, and if
the Republicans want to filibuster, the country
will judge Doth parties, but the Democrats
ought not to make themselves responsible for
any very lengthy discussion in the House on
the subject. All that the House can do is to
: how what policy the Democrats would pursue
if they bad the presidency and a majority in
the Senate. They ought to show this as plain-
ly and with as little delay as possible after
Congress meets.
The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch says of Hon.
Samuel S. Cox, who was, in 1S53 and 1S54, an
editorial writer for the Columbus Statesman:
•' It was late in the afternoon, and the sun was
just dipping below the horizon. Suddenly
Cox rushed into the room. 'Boys,' he said,
'did you see that sunset -. It's the most beauti-
ful thirg I evor saw.' And, seizing some paper
from the proof press and leaning over the im-
posing stone, he wrote the famous pen picture
that gave him the life-long sobriquet of 4 Sun-
set1 Cox. The article was taken by the com-
positors and put in type piece by piece, and it
appeared in that evening's number of the
paper." ______________
The Vickburg Herald singles out a promi-
nent river man and steamboat owner, Cap-
tain Leathers, for attack because he assisted
in procuring a hearing for Captain Cowden's
outlet theory and detailed his own experience
during forty years residence in the Mississippi
valley. The charge is that the prominent river
man has thereby injured the valley. This
is au age and country for toleration. It is
possible that Captain Cowden and his support-
ers have shaken confidence in certain theories
for which large appropriations have been
asked; but it would require more than
average assurance to maintain that the spend-
ing of national funds in the valley is the great
object to be aimed at. The object that is
fairly admissable is to obtain an improved and
secure river chanuel. To this end discussion
by experienced and able men is worthy of en-
couragement. Such men residing in the val-
ley are presumed to have its interest in view.
Mr. Beecher says so many suggestive things
that they afford food for thought in many di
reetions. If reported correctly, he wras unjust
to the laboring man when he said: "Then :
comes a much larger class—men that are day
i borers-—men that can not contribute ideas—
meu that eat as much as they produce. About
tivMn we say: Tdey are respectable enough,
but we treat them with a sort of quiet disdain.
Tit v do not belong to society." The day
laborer, as Professor Sumner might say, is the
vi i v much forgotten man, and it may be cus-
tomary in society to treat him with disdain.
All he has to do to take care of himself is to
give none of his nickels without an equivalent
those v. ho so treat him. Knowing how socie-
ty, so-called, treats him, honest pride should
impel the laborer to raise himself to compara-
tive independence. Of course it is absurd to
assert that the laborer eats as much as he pro-
duces. If he did, what would there be. left to
I ee<i the people that do not labor? Certain it
is that there is very little that is tangible pro-
vi but what laborers assist in producing.
Natural forces do much, labor does its part,
and directing talent does a part. What the
laborers do not possess, but ought to possess,
may not have been eaten at all, but absorbed
by cormorants.
The New York Journal of Commerce com-
! its c entralization, against which the first ten
udments to the United States constitution
w -re directed. The tendency to centralizing
schemes, it finds, is widely prevalent. Under
the guise of philanthropy, it looks out over the
broad domain, and wherever it can find a com-
mon need or an admitted evil, it demands that
the authority of the general government shall
be directed to supply the oue and abate the
other. It does not stop at political reforms.
Its zeal being kindled, it aims to regulate the
manners and habits of the people, not only in
social life, but in their personal tastes and ap
petites. What they shall eat and what they
shall drink, and wherewithal they shall be
•1 dhed. are problems these reformers feel
called upon to settle by supreme authority.
Neither spirits, wine nor beer shall bo made,
imported or drank, if they can impose their
conditions of life upon the body of the people,
l ite Journal thinks this movement has gone
far enough, and it is time for the reaction to
set in. Indeed, the Journal could bear to see
it go very far to the other extreme, until every
man. woman aud child in all the country felt
no restraining band beyond the lawful author-
ity next above ea !i of them, and theu only in
matters where obedience is conceded to be due.
and is consistent, with the freest enjoyment of
ill personal rights.
AlirUl li ASD MA HOSE.
The close alliance known to exist between
Ma hone and the administration is suggestive of
omething stronger than mere personal ties or
party necessity, aud the suspicion is abroad
'oat. the Stalwarts have invented a scheme
whereby they hope to carry a couple of
Southern States iu the next presidential con
test. This scheme means a union of the Stal
warts with the Mahone-Cash-Chalmers follow
in.; iu the South, and a presidential ticket,
composed of Arthur aud Mahone. As the
best elements of the Republican party are
strongly opposed to the alliance with Mahone,
and the Republican press of New York
solidly, or almost solidly, against it,
the presumption is strong that Arthur
has some substantial reason of his own
for countenancing the Virginia boss in opposi-
tion to the wish of many of his friends. Arthur
is a clever politician, and thoroughly under-
stands that, notwithstanding the negative and
p fie Character of his administration, he is
far from eujoying the confidence of the public
generally. But, being ambitious to head the
R--publican ticket in the next national contest,
lie is forming alliances that will enable him to
capture Southern delegates to the convention,
aud imagines that by aiding Mahoue to carry
Virginia at the coming election the State
will be sure for the Republicans next
year. He has adopted the same
course with Cash and Chalmers,
believing that, with the aid of these Demo
• ratio renegades, ho can secure the support of
a solid Southern delegation to the national
convention. The Republican politicians of the
Stalwart persuasion imagine that by putting
an ex-Confederate on the ticket for vice-presi-
dent they can carry Virginia, North Carolina
and Florida in 1SS4, aud the present
plan seems to be to nominate Arthur
and Mahone. Then, instead of a blood
shirt, they would enact a love-feast cam-
paign, and appeal to the country on the
distinctively national character of the ticket.
Arthur was never very strong in his
own State of New York, but by
carrying Virginia and the States
that voted for Garfield in 1SS0, the Republi-
cans, supposing other States to remain un-
changed, could afford to give New York to
the Democrats; and by carrying Virginia,
North Carolina and Florida, the Republican
ticket, supposing other States to remain un-
changed, would bo elected even if New \ork
and Indiana voted for the Democratic ticket.
This seems to be the plan mapped out by the
Stalwarts, but if Mahone is defeated in Vir-
ginia in November it will probably necessitate
a new deaL If the Republicans nominate an
ex Confederate for vice-president, and hold
their convention in advance of the Democrats,
it is not improbable that the latter would fol-
low suit, and name a man more repre-
sentative of Southern sentiment than Mahoue.
The coalition movement in Virginia is in a
shaky condition, and the administration is put-
ting forth all its efforts to strengthen it. The
so-called straight-out Republicans, under the
i ad of Congressman Dezondorf, are making it
tir, pleasant for the boss, and refuse to accept
his leadership or dictation. The negroes, too,
are beginning to desert Mahone, and the cause
he represents is in such a desperate condition
that the following letter is being hawked about
as au incentive to stay the tide:
Washington, D. C-, September 20, 1333.—'To the
Republicans of Virginia: While looking at your
condition ten years a£a and seeing it now, I would
n I vise you to support (General .Mahone to a man.
Mulioiie deserves the confidence of every erood eit
izen in your State. You would better support Ma-
hone than vote for Democrats, who care nothing
for you or your cause. Again 1 5>.*g you to consider
this matter, and vote to a man for the Re adjuster
party. I am your humble and obedient servant,
Ouestku A. Arthur,
President of the United States.
If this letter is genuine, it places the presi-
dent of the United States in a deplorable atti-
tude, and if it is a sanctioned forgery it ex-
hibits a depth of depravity in politicians sel-
dom reached even by most daring enterprises
in spoils politics. The document, however, is
read openly at negro meetings, and a warm
friend and political heeler of Mahone claims to
have received the original. If Mr. Arthur
really did sign such a document, it shows that
he is terribly in earnest about the success of
the Virginia campaign, and anxious to retain
the friendship of Mahone. All of which may
come to a dire state of crystallization at or
about the time of the assembling of the Re-
publican national convention.
A LARGER QUESTION THAN IT SEEMS.
The circulation and advertising of the Ne\$
York Herald have both increased under the
pressure of the newsdealers' opposition to sell-
ing that paper at the published price. The
Herald management Is establishing news stands
and route agents wherever the dealers refuse
to handle that paper at two cents. It allows
the dealers twenty per cent, profit. They want
to sell the paper for three cents, thus taking an
additional cent from the public, or realizing
eighty per cent, on the sale. The per cent, of
profit allowed is certainly small for a heavy
paoer, but then, on the other hand, there are
more copies sold since the price was reduced.
Moreover, there is a large principle involved
in the contest. Not only have some of the
other papers been sold at two cents by the
same dealers who object to selling the Herald
at that price, but at different points, four, five,
and even in a hotel ten cents have been charged
for the Herald. If the dealers had their way
now, they might build up some other
paper against the Herald. The public would
!>e vexed at seeing a price printed on the paper
at which it could not be bought. The Herald
would thus suffer loss by a futile profession of
reduction—loss not only direct, by its giving
the news-dealers the odd cent, but by printing
daily the reminder of its futile effort to eet its
own reduced price. The news-vending business
would be revolutionized, and how could any
publisher count upon what the news-dealer
might in future do or refrain from doing?
They could charge what they liked, and might
as well charge four or five cents, if they were
permitted to fix prices and make a monopoly.
Thus they could damage any paper they might
select to damage and build up other papers.
This would bo as good as owning the press, and
if the news-vendors were well organized and de-
termined, and no strong publisher resisted,
they might have the papers and the public at
their mercy. The news-vendors are doing with
the Herald as the grocers might do in agreeing
to sell a certain brand of flour at 50 per cent,
more than other brands costing the same. They
have a legal right to do so. They allege that
it is more bulky. But the miller in the sup-
posed case would have to submit to a
dreadful discrimiuation or organize agencies
for the sale of his flour. Of course, he would
take the latter course if he were able. The
news-vendors raise a cry for sympathy, be-
cause they are established in business. They
will not find the Herald opposing them if they
will sell that paper at the published price. That
is the bottom of the whole subject. The pub-
lisher has a right to fix the price of his paper,
and to establish agencies to sell and distribute
it, and the Herald is doing the public a service
by the stand taken for its rights. The course
taken is sensible and prudent in the particular
that all the other daily papers will be sold at
the Herald stands. As to the sentimental side
of the question, the Herald, taking no profit
from the stands, will be helping a number of
poor people to start in business. The news-
vendors will have only their own folly to blame
if they persist in their opposition. The Herald
is entirely in the right.
SPANISH KLSG AND TEXAS GOVER-
NOR.
The domain of King Alfonso is not greater
in area than that under the dominion, so to
peak/ of Governor Ireland. The State of
Texas, however, for various reasons, is not so
populous. Alfonso has a much more numerous
constituency and a much larger standing army.
It may be possible that the reason why Texas
is not more populous is because the govern-
ment is content with a standing army of only
150 men, when 500,000 are necessary, according
to the estimates of leading authorities, to pro-
tect the lives and property of those who are
adventurous enough to come to the State. But
that is mere speculation. Recently the rulers
of Spain and Texas have been visiting other
countries, enjoying the pomp aud pageantrj*
of other courts, and both returned home
about the same time. Alfonso was met by an
immense crowd, blocking up the streets from
the railway station to the royal palace in
Madrid. On arrival of the train the great
shout of his subjects shook the earth. The
crowd was greatest about the palace. Alfonso
showed himself on the balcflfjy several times,
and that evening held a reception free to all
the nobility, students and workmen. All the
bands of the military united in a serenade
around the palace. Over 50,000 people at
tended the reception. Governor Ireland
reached the depot and was met by a few hotel
bummers, took an omnibus at a cost of 25
wilts, and that much more for his little hair
trunk, drove direct to the executive office,
and dived into a pile of applications for par-
dons aud documents relating to busiuess of
the executive boards, aud probably was not
known to have returned by half a dozeu
persous. Either Governor Ireland's capital is
populated with unappreciative subjects, or be
is not so popular as Alfonso. Probably he is a
better man and better ruler. He doubtless
serves the people better and loves them better
ihau does Alfonso, and yet he is permitted to
•nter the capital, and proceed up Congress
avenue toward the capitol aud temporary uni-
versity, passing numerous saloons where the
populace are congregated, and not a plaudit is
heard, not a cheer is given; no handkerchiefs
are waved, no flags displayed, no bands sere-
nade. If Governor Ireland met any distin-
guished party in waiting for his return it was
some oue on business, which was thereupon
promptly dispatched. Doubtless he found in
his oflice the celebrated Mi's. Hubby with an
application for pardon, and a representative
from Clay county on a fence-cutting mis-
sion. These envoys were reported to
have been awaiting him. And he
found, no doubt, the irrepressible news-
paper reporter ready to place him in im-
mediate rapport with his constituents. And
there is where he has the advantage of Alfonso.
Governor Ireland can freely express his views
of the foreign country and people; he can de-
scribe all he saw, tell what he thought and eu-
langer no alliance, offend no warlike poten
tate. But there is a great difference—which
is uot sufficiently appreciated—between Alfonso
and the Texas governor. It is this—that the
former was not met by a reception noisy with
the clangor of the military bands aud shouts of
an idle aud excitable city populace which to-
morrow would as enthusiastically receive a
conquering revolutionist, while the governor
passed on his way through the State unheeded
by a population which would rally as a man in
his protection and that of the State, and which
would yet, for the novelty of the thing, give
Alfonso, or any other royal person who has
bands and soldiers and palaces, and besides a
rare assortment of foreign uniforms aud de-
corations, as enthusiastic a greeting as the one
recently given by the effusive Spaniards of
Madrid.
PROGRESSIVE THOUGHT IN IRELAND.
Michael Davitt, the distinguished Irish agi-
tator, is the regular correspondent, in Ireland,
of several American journals, and from his
position and knowledge of Irish affairs is
capable of detailing some interesting informa-
tion. Iu a recent letter to the Philadelphia
Times he gives the position of parties in Ire-
land. and relates in a graphic manner the
difficulties encountered by the Nationalists in
their contest with the aristocracy aud the
imperial Parliament. The great difficulty of
the Irish popular party is to obtain proper
parliamentary representatives. There is no
salary attached to the office of member
of Parliament, and consequently it is useless to
select a poor man, as he can uot maiutaiu him-
self in London a-ud attend to his parliamentary
duties. The rich men, in nine cases out of ten,
are attached to the English interest, and as
soon as an issuo arises they forsake the ad-
vanced Irish party and take position under the
Whig flag. In order to successfully combat
this political treachery, a movement is now on
foot in Ireland to call county conventions for
the purpose of raising a voluntary parliamen-
tary fund, to be used in paying nationalist
members. It is proposed that the counties and
boroughs shall pay an adequate salary to their
own respective members, and by this
means it is hoped to make the
Irish delegation in the imperial Parliament
more representative of public sentiment iu the
island than was possible heretofore under the
old system. ThL? is undoubtedly the most
practical move yet made by the Parnellites^
and therms hardly a doubt it will bear good*
fruit. Under the present honorary system of
service in Parliament, only the rich can afford
the luxury of representing a constituency, and
in a country like England, where class distinc-
tions are sq finely drawn, only a few of the
rich men can withstand the social strain to
which they are subjected. As the battles of
England ami Ireland are fought in the salons,
parlors and club-rooms of London as
well as iu the chambers of Parliament,
and as the holding of Irish national
ideas is usually sufficient to tal»oo a man
socially, it is not strange that so Many of the
Irish members possessed of worldly means be-
came recreant to their promises and accepted
social stauding in London instead of the grati-
tude and thanks of their constituents. The
new idea of paying members, if it should prove
successful, will enable clever youug lawyers,
journalists and farmers to enter Parliament,
and as it would be certain that their pay would
be stopped if they did not represent the ideas
of their constituents, it is safe to say that the
Irish party iu Westminster would be more co-
herent and compact in future. There is no
denying that class rule iu Europe is gradually
and surely reaching the ragged edge. The
divine right of a few kings and nobles to boss
the people is vanishing from sight, and iu its
stead a healthier, more independent tone seems
to permeate the masses, promising to grow and
expand, and eventually result iu the destruc-
tion of classism. In this work Ireland is nota-
bly advanced. It is claimed that Ireland was
the first country in the world to establish a sys-
tem of common school education, and that the
people of Ireland are to-day better educated
and politically more progressive than the peo-
ple of any other country in Europe. An Irish-
man who can not read and write at the
present day is a rara avis. Recent sta-
tistics report that out of a population of
5,350,000 living in the island, l,4»3o,000 pupils
are attending the public schools. This record
will compare favorably with that of any na-
tion, and it is no wonder that American ideas
are capturing the people. The so-called priv-
ileges of aristocracy vanish before public edu-
cation and general enlightenment, as dew be-
fore a noonday sun, aud unless events shall be-
lie indications, there will be a terrible shaking
up of antique moss-backs and old-time tradi-
tions in Ireland one of these days. Indeed, the
industrious mass of people-r-the forgotten men
of the social and political systems of monarch-
ical Europe—will not always be in a mood to
dance to the music of their own chains.

What th© Interior Papers Say.
The Cameron Herald says the jailer now
lives in the upper story of the jail building.
This is the proper place for him. Some Texas
jails have been left without the presence of
jailers and guards to offer easy means of es-
cape to prisoners.
The Herald lays down the law as follows:
A man who will not subscribe for a paper has no
business to even borrow one after the owner has
read it, much less to go to the office aud take the
paper out and appropriate it to himself.
The Cameron Herald is so well printed at
home that it feels a call to explain that there is
no patent outside or inside in the case.
The Gaiuesvslle Hesperian is hopeful of an
end to the fence war. It ehrouicles the return
of Captain J. M. Culp from the Panhandle,
where he has spent several weeks, ahd says:
He reports matters as quietiugdown so far as the
fence-cutting is concerned, and that the disaffected
parties express satisfaction with the result of the late
convention held at Henrietta. It is to be hoped the
resolve of the convention will meet the difficulty
and put at rest any future lawless demonstrations,
and that the rights of small farm-owners, stock-
men, cowboys and all will bo respected and peace
reign. If it does not. a short while longer of demon-
strations like those that have taken place will bring
about a state of affairs that it is fearful to contem-
plate.
The Hesperian says the fence-cutting excite-
ment in Cooke county is about over, and no
more trouble is apprehended.
The Hesperian gives a list of sixty-four new
buildings, costing $231,520, in Gainesville.
The Corsicana Observer reports a case of
malicious fence-cutting:
Mr. Fred Grimes had 200 yards of his fence cut
the other night. The parties stuck up a notice that
if Mr. G. puts the fence up again they will serve
hint the same way. This land fenced up by Mr. G
is land given by the State of Texas to his father.
Iu the commencement, there might have Oeen
some excise for this wire-cutting in the far West,
where cattle kings fenced up almost entire coun-
ties, including sometimes the county seat, many
small farmers and public lands to which the owners
of the pastures had no more ri^ht than any other
individual. But since the unlawful precedent has
been established, to mar and destroy private pro-
perty, many cowardly and revengeful persons have
seized the opportunity to destroy their neighbors'
property through mere spite.
The Victoria Advocate reports a case of
fence-cutting within the limits of that city :
Mr. A. B. Peticolas discovered that the fence
surrounding a small pasture belonging to him inside
the city limits had been cut. and that a ne-jro boy
living in the neighborhood was the offending
party. It seems that the boy was in the habit of
turning a calf into the inclosure. There are several
streets included inside the fence, but Mr. Peticolas
had secured authority from the council to inclose
them.
This is a very small case, but the principles
involved may surpass the interests. The town
authorities have no better right to authorize a
citizen to convert the streets into pastures for
his own exclusive use than the colored boy has
to use them as commons, so long as there is
no law or ordinance to the contrary.
The Victoria Advocate must be suffering
from enemies, persecutors aud slanderers. It
shells the woods as follows:
Language is entirely inadequate to convey the
contemptible littleuess of the cowardly craven
whose natural instincts lead him to strike his ene-
my without exposing himself to the public criticism
such an act is sure to merit. The most hated of all
reptiles is the one that trives no si^n of its presence
until the venom is indicted into the veins of the
unsuspicious passer-by. and then sliuks away to
erloat over the destruction it has wrought Man
hood stands erect and courts the stroug light of
day upon its -very act, while the abject craven
skulks ih'hind the veil of a concealed identity, and
in the littleness of his puny soul whispers to him-
self congratulations that he dare not utter aloud
for a deed that is but the crowning glory of a dis-
picable character.
Leave the babies at home is the rule iu Bra-
zoria balls. The Independent says:
The committee has ordered that no children u ill

The Brazoria Independent chronicles the
death of another old Texan pioneer, Mr.
Samuel Damon, of Damon's Mound, Brazoria
county, who came to Texas half a century
since. His wife, a granddaughter of the
Kentucky pioneer, Daniel Booue, survives.
It has long been a proverb that bad whisky
will make meu thieves, but in Greenville the
love of liquor leads to sacrilege. The Herald
says the Bible and lamps were stolen from the
Presbyterian church a few nights since and
pawued to the barkeeper of the railroad saloon
for a half pint of liquor.
The Brazoria Independent says:
Governor Ireland is really the first real Demo-
cratic governor Texas has ever had.
The independent should defiue its meaning.
Texas had none but Democratic governors be-
fore the war, though some of theui were of the
secession aud some of the national kind, and
Coke and Roberts are surely Democrats. The
Independent speaks at random, and evidently
did not know all the governors of Texas well.
The serpent has again got into Paradise. The

The Athenian is the esthetic title of a new
and handsome paper established iu Athens,
Henderson county, by the Padon brothers.
They salute the Athenians handsomely, and
then come down to business, saying:
If you want a good paper, you must uot be back-
ward about encouraging it, and ihe kiivl of encou-
ragement required is your support and influence iu
its behalf.
This modern Athens must follow the plan of
its ancient namesake and teach in groves. The
Athenian says :
When we arrived and looked over the town of
Athens, we missed oue object. Nowhere could we
see a school edifice of any importance.
The people are urged to build school-houses.
The Cuero Star says:
A negro who had caught a stingaree in the Bra-
zos river at Richmond, took it up town strongly
impressed with the idea that he had caught the
devil.
If he had received a thrust, from its barbed

A writer in the Whitesboro News says of the
fence war:
It is but a new phase of the same principle of
antagonism between labor and capital, monopoly
and competition, that underlay the com nunistic
movements in tngland during the pai ic of ls»l3
that actuated the French commune to their bloody
deeds, aud that forms the foundation of German
socialism to-day. For a body of lawless men to
ruthlessly destroy the property of others is wrong;
but while it is wrong, it is a wrong that is very dif-
cultto remedy. The money power in this country
is a great one. and is not unfrequently used to op-
press the po >r: hence titer* has sprung up between

The Laredo Times interviewed the governor

uraze immigration. To be consistent with that
the State. Such a grand outpouring of people as
he witnessed to welcome him at the threshold (rf
the city was a scene and occasion that had lodg-
ment in his heart, aud he recognized it as an
earnest that those people were honest anil sincere
in tlie desire to cultivate and perpetuate the most
friendly relations between the two countries, and
more especially the States of Texas and Coahuila.
In this sentiment Governor Ireland assured his
hosts that he fully accorded with them, aud to that
extent Governor Madoro and himself fully under-
stood aud appreciated each other. Governor Ire-
land regards Governor Mariero as a man of marked
ability, possessing broad and liberal vi**ws upon all
leading questions affecting the good and welfare of
bis people. He is a progressive man, aud under
his able administration Coahuila will make rapid
strides in her onward march to greatness aud pros-
perity.
The Corsicana Journal says:
The so-called State fair will open at Austin on the
lGth instant.
Why so called ? Isu't it a fair thing ?
It is obvious, from what is said in some of
the papers, that certain members of the legis-
lature want an extra session. Poor as is the
pay, there are members to whom it is an ob-
ject. If houest poverty is the test, Texas al-
ways has bad virtuous law-makers. The
first act passed at every session of the legisla-
ture has been one making an appropriation to
pay the mileage and ]>er diem of the members,
a majority of whom always reach the capital
in a penniless condition. The pay of a legisla-
tor is hardly enough for his support, yet some
seem to expect to live by the oflice, one way or
another.

A Spectacle in the Straits of Sunda*
[New York Tribune ]
The German ship Herschel.Capt. P. T. Wtip-
per, from Manila, Philippine islands, with a
cargo of hemp and sugar, arrived at this port
on Sunday, after a voyage of 1T<) days. The
vessel was covered with a layer of ashes three
inches deep from the eruption on Krakatoa, a
small island off Java, lying in the straits of
Sunda. The vessel passed the island on May
20. Capt. Wupper was seen at the office of
Punch, Edye & Co., on South William street,
yesterday,and to a Tribune reporter he relatde
his experiences:
" We passed Krakatoa and entered the
straits of Sunda," he said. " on May 20; so that
we were months ahead of the grnat eruption
which destroyed so many lives aud caused such
mighty upheavals a few weeks ago. The island
of Krakatoa is small, probably two or three
miles across, and it lies west of the western ex-
tremity of Java, in the stiaits of Sunda. It is
high, covered with trees, and exceedingly
rocky. Its outliue, as seen from the straits, is
that of a huge mountain, with a spur or jutting
hill on its western edge. The eruption did not
appeal* on the main i>eak, but on the smaller
one.
About 11 a. m. we were passing Krakatoa,
aud were off it about six miles. The sky was
perfectly ciear, the sun was shining brightly,
and uot a cloud was to be seen. There was a
lead calm, and the sea was as smooth as it ever
is with the usual swell. The temperature was
normal, and I perceived nothing unusual in the
appearance of the atmosphere. Suddenly I
observed white smoke beginning to issue from
the top of the smaller peak of Krakatao. It
began to shoot up, up and up, rapidly in-
creasing in volume, spreading out and
circling around in beautiful contortions
until the whole presented a wondrous
and striking appearance, more like a
huge rosen baum—trees of roses, white ones—
than anything else which I can think of. The
smoke, which was purely white, rushed out at
a tremendous rate "and piled itself up in huge
masses. Sometimes these shot up rapidly;
then again they wrould swirl around in a swift
circle of motion, all producing a most beauti-
ful effect. This feature of the phenomenon
lasted until 2 p. m. The white smoke—or pos-
sibly it might have been steam—was accom-
panied by a terrific rumbling resembling that
of suppressed thunder, and this lasted until 2
p. m., when the w hite smoke began to darken
and grow darker and darker until it become
black.
11 The thundering ceased when the color of
the smoke changed. Ashes began to come out,
this, I suppose, causing the blackening of the
smoke. The skjr grew darker and darker, as
the ashes rose and spread out in the heavens,
until we could hardly see our way. At 5 p. m.
the sky was so filled with ashes that they be-
gan to settle down on the ship. At the same
time a breeze sprang up from the southeast,
thus following us, as we were steeriug out
of the straits of Sunda. At 8 p. m. the
ashes were three inches deep all over
the ship, wherever they could tlud a resting-
place. All this time I bad seen
no flame and none appeared. Of course at 11
a. m., when the eruptiou began, the sky was
so clear and the smoke so white that it would
have been difficult to see fire, had there been
any. Flames may have appeared after the
dark smoke came out, but the sky became so
clouded with the ashes and cinders that it was
impossible to see whether there were flames.
It was three da3*s before the sky became clear,
as ashes continued falling ou the ship for that
time. There was no heaving of the water so
far as I discovered, during the eruption.
'• The sky ou May 23 finally cleared up from
aft. The ashes were of a light gray color and
of ordinary weight. We found them useful
for polishing purposes. Some of them were
coarse, but most of them were fine, as tine as
ilour, and those we have used for cleaning
painted woodwork and for polishing brass.
There's plenty of them on the ship now; come
down and see us to-morrow at Harbeck's
stores, aud we'll show you the results of our
experience with the volcano of Krakatoa."1
An old sea captain who used to pass through
the straits of Sunda b*»fore he made a fortune
and laj* by, said that '*something was always
the matter with Krakatoa. Whenever there
was a heavy storm,v said he, 44 if we were in
si^ht of Krakatoa. we always observed that it
struck that island most heavily. When there
was lightning it always went into Krakatoa,
and that particular small hill seemed the cen-
ter of attraction, just as if there were an im-
mense magnet in it which attracted the light-
ning. I do not know what Krakatoa means,
but 1 believe the natives named it from the
sound, for there always seemed to be a crack-
iug of something going ou around it or in it."
A Chicago Parent's Sensible Advice
to a Blushing X^over.
[Milwaukee Sun.]
A queer case has just come to light in Chi-
cago. A young man spent an even iug with bis
girl, aud during the evening, while the family
was present in the parlor, he was as demure
and bland and child-like as could be wished.
The mother came iuto the room after the fam-
ily had retired to get a handkerchief she had
left, aud the young man was seated in a chair
in the middle of tlio room, while the girl was
seated on a sofa, aud nothing that the mother
could see iu the actions of either led her to think
they were more than passing acquaintances. It
seemed to her as though the young people had
met before, but there was no evidence that
they were very well acquainted. All night,
after he had gone, ihe girl complained of a pain
in her side, and iu t he morning a doctor was
called, and he found that two of the girl's ribs
were broken. How it was done nobody knew.
The girl could not tell for the life of her,though
she blu-he I when asked about it, and tue
m« »ther looked very wise us sue looked at the
doctor. The doctor uiado some inquiries, set
the ribs and went away, and the girl proceed-
ed to recover.
That evening the young man called and
was astonished when informed of the extent of
the girl's injuries, and wondered how it could
have happened, though the mother watched
bis face close as he spoke and detected not
only a blush but a profuse perspiration on his
face. She had been a girl once herself, and
though she had never had any ribs broken she
had been bugged some. It was a trying posi-
tion for ail or them. The father was a way on a
trip to Wisconsin, and when he came home the
matter had to be explained to him. He was
told that the l ibs just simply broke themselves,
and that neither the mother nor the girl nor
the youug mau could account for it, and yet-
all three of them blushed terribly. The father
patted his girl on the head, told her she would
be better when she got over it, and then called
the youug mau into the library. The young
mau was so weak he could hardly walk, aud
when he sat dowu he took out a handkerchief
and mopped his brow and wished he was dead.
The father looked the young man over aud was
sorry. He finally said:
44 Young man, I guess I can give you some
points on hugging. You must tirst learn that
a girl is not constructed on the same principle
of an iron fence or a truss bridge. A girl is a
delicate piece of mechanism, like a tiue watch,
full of little springs, wheels, jewels, etc. The
breaking of any one of these would cause her
to cease keeping time and necessitate her beiug
taken to a jeweler for repairs. In hugging a
girl you don't want to goat it as if you were
rakiug and binding, or catching sturgeon. J
know that where the family sits up late with a
youug couple and spoils several pjccious hours
of hugging, that unless the young man has a
good head when left aloue with the object of
his affection, that he is liable to overdo the
matter and try to make up for lost time.. He
seems to want to hug up for a lot ahead ami
grabs the girl as though he wanted b> break
her in two. This is wrong. Y"ou should go
at it calmly and deliberate?F, even prayer-
fully, and be as gentle as though she was
an ivory fan. The gentle pressure vf the
hand that a girl loves, even the touch, is as
dear to her as though you run her th.rftugh
a stone-crusher. You should not grab her
as you would a bag of oatsJRid leave marks
on her that will last a Siiue. A loving
woman should uot b&£S§||po feel that her
life is in danger uri.<*«^ne wears a corset
made of boiler-iron. I ®pe this will be a
j lusson to you, aud hereai\«r, if you cau liot
control your feelings, I will provide a wooden
Indian for you to practice on at first, until you
have developed your muscle and got tired,
and then we can turn our daughter loose in
a room with you, and not feel that it is
necessary to keep a surgeon handy. In
allowing you to keep company with my
daughter I do not agree to provide you with a
human gymnasinm, dressed iu a Mother Hub-
bard wrapper ami wearing bangs. You can
readily see that a girl would not last a season
through if she had to have ri Its set once a week.
Please think this thiug over, aud if the girl is
well enough next Sunday you can drop in and
try some more ribs. Now, you go home and
hug a hat-rack for an hour or two, and have it
reoaired in the morning."
The youug man went out Into the night air,
took his hat off to cool his head and hired a
man to kick.

The Chicag*o-Ohio Pool.
According to the Chicago Tribune the fol-
lowing are the chief points in the pool entered
into at the recent conference at Cincinnati:
The high joints interested in the management
of the roads concerned agreed that the pools
should be iu force for one year from October 1,
though permission was given to any road to
terminate the agreement after thirty days no-
tice. It was also arranged that through bills
of lading should be issued by each road with-
out the intervention of any general agency,
as was the custom during the last four or five
years. The agreement is au ironclad oue. It
provides that the freight agents of the roads
in interest shall meet and draw up regulations
for the switching charges, the deductiou of
arbitraries, should there be any, aud expose to
each other all time freight contracts entered in-
to during the war or previous thereto, the freight
on the same to go into the general pools, 'i he
passenger agents of the roads interested weae
ordered to withdraw all outstanding tickets;
and where commissions are paid that these
should be uniform in relation to each
point covered by the pool. Should the
freight and passenger agents run against
a snag and fail to settle any differences that
may arise, these must be submitted to the ex-
ecutive committee of eight, composed of oue
representative from each road interested.
After the agreement has been ratified any vio-
lation of its provisions shall intlict upon the
offending party a fine equal to ten times the
regular value of the passenger ticket, or ten
times the regular freight money on the ship-
ment forwarded at the cut rate. The com-
missioner is empowered to have free access to
all the traffic books of the companies composing
the pool, and to have plenary powers in the
management of its affairs. He is not to bs re-
garded as a mere figurehead, but is clothed
with an authority equal in scope to that pos-
sessed by Commissioner Fink, of New York.
His superior officer is the executive committee
of eight, and from no general officers individu-
ally will he receive any instructions whatever.
It was further stipulated that the roads iu in-
terest should, if possible, agree upon an allot-
ment of percentage by Novembhr 15. Should
they fail to do so by that time the whole ques-
tion will be relegated to a board of arbitration,
whose election must be unanimously ratified by
all the roads interested.
The Presentation Business*
[Pittsburgh Telegraph.]
A most seusible affair is reported in this
city. A popular superintendent of a street
railway hearing that the employes were about
to embody their esteem for him in a costly
present and cheaper oratory, indefinitely post-
poned the affair bv announcing that he duly
appreciated their good feeling, but he would
not take their gift. He requested that the
money collected be otherwise disposed of. The
men, after puzzling over this unexpected turn
for a time, handed the cash over to a fellow-
workman, long sick and in financial straits.
The gentleman in question will not have a set
of glistening silverware to adorn his buffet,
nor list of the donor's names handsomely en-
grossed, but is setting a capital example for
beneficiaries to follow. There is a deal of
humbug in this presentation business.
A few employes who specially desire to 1
get a solid foothold in the em-
ployer's good graces at the expense of
others, start a subscription paper, aud the
man in the shop or yards that declines to ap-
pend his name and hand over his money is, in
manj instances, simply signing his walking
papers. The leaders purchase a handsome
testimonial that is often a superfluity in the
recipient's luxurious house; the speeches are
well timed, and the recipieut that isn't com-
pletely surprised under these circumstances is
a rarity equal to a white elephant. The
whole thing looks delightful on the surface,
and there are, no doubt, exceptions where
bonds of friendship between employer and
employed are strengthened by this presenta
tion episode. But iu a majority of cases the
reverse is the case. The earner of small
wages is taxed to aggrandise those over him,
and the testimonial is but a pretty form of
wire-pulling. The case cited at the head of
this article is a pleasing departure iu this re-
spect. A silver set is a beautiful thiug, but
the gratitude of a sick aud impoverished fel-
low-workman is a noble one.
ISKaking- Time Against a Train on Fire.
[Erie Herald.]
D. L. Brown, the engineer whose eventful
experience with a train of burning oil cars ou
the old Cross-cut road is known to all oil
country people, died at his home, in Randolph,
last Monday. The train was coming down the
steep grade to Btoctou. A car took fire. The
furious speed fauued the flames, and soon the
entire train was on fire. As it thundered down
the grade it was a grand and awful sight. 1 he
fireman pulled th^ pin between the tender and
the first car. Then commenced the greatest
race on record. Engineer Brown threw open
wide the throttle. The fireman fed huge
quantities of coal to the furnace. The heat
was almost unendurable. Dense black
columns of smoke filled the air. The wind
carried the heat toward toward the engine,
which was ruuning so fast that
it was in danger of jumping the track. The
suspense was terrible. The locomotive seemed
ro gain but little on the burning train.
Around curves, over trestles, through the for-
est aud valley, thundered the procession on
wheels. The faithful locomotive seemed en-
dowed with human feelings. The iron horse
was beginning to pull away from the flaming
tank cars. Brocton was only a short distance
ahead. The engiueer blew his whistle. The
switchman at Brocton, who was at his post,
understood the siguai. The switch was opened.
The locomotive rushed through, the danger
was over, and as the engine came to a stop
about one mile from the station, brave engineer
Brown fainted. The switch was quickly turned,
and the blazing caldrons of oil run off the
track and ditched. Iu that eventful trip
Brown's hair turned white. It was au awful
experience, and oue from which Brown never
recovered.

officers of the more : omineut roads may get
more. From £10,OOd to $15,000 annually is re-
ceived by a number of general managers or
general superintendents, whose offices are the
same on different roads. General freight
agents and general passenger agents receive
from $o000 to $00»K> yearly, the amount, of
course, depending on the importance of the
roads. Iu this country there are about 700,000
men employed in railroad work, and their pay
will probably average about "?c>0d annually.
EfFact of Competition.
I ttca, N. Y., October 4.—The benefits of
railway competition are already apparent here.
The \Y est Shore route is nearly seven miles
shorter than the New York Ceutral between
Utica and Syracuse. Fare by the Central tuts
been reduced from $1 0o to i)d cents to meet the
charge of its youug rival. Beginning to-mor-
row the Central will add a special car for Utica
and New York travel to one train each way.
This gives accommodation corresponding to
the est Shore time card. Still the Central
people say they are not aware of any compe-
tition.

Court of Appeals.
Apdtsox kt al. vs. the State—From Wood
county. This is a motion by • the assistant at-
torney-general to dismiss the appeal l>e.>auseof
an insufficient appeal bond, because the same
is not in accordance with the statute, in that
the names of the sureties are not contained in
the body of the boud. Held, the bond is iu
substantial compliance with the statute. As
the sureties sign as such at the close of the
bond, they are as much bound as if signed in
the body thereof. Motion to dismiss overruled.
Per curiam.
Read vs. the State—From Upshur county.
Appellant was tried before the justice of the
peace for carrying a pistol aud fined £25. Upon
appeal to the County Court the same penalty
was assessed, and an appeal was taken. Held,
as the fine assessed in the County Court, on
appeal from Justice court, is for less than
5100, it is conclusive. This court has no juris-
diction of the case under art. 5, sec. 1»5. of the
constitution. Writ of error dismissed.
Fred Avers aitd Will Linsey vs. the
State—From Van Zandt county. The motion
to dismiss this appeal is based on two grounds,
for the first vide Stone vs. the State, this
issue. The second is. that loth defendants
were convicted of the same offense, and upon
appealing only gave oue recognizance, which
was a joint one. Held, while we have found
no case directly in point, are of opinion that
the sureties upon the joint recognizance are
severally bound for the amount thereof on
sureties for each defendant. Motion to dismiss
appeal overruled.
Lixk, County Judge, vs. Murphy—From
Anderson county. This is a motion to dismiss
the appeal on two grounds. 1. The cause is a
criminal oue in which neither the State nor a
county of the State has a right to appeal. 2
The appeal is not signed by the county judge,
nor is his name in any official capacity re-
cited in the body of the bond. Held, 1. As
this is a suit by the county judge in his official
capacity upou a county convict bond, it is not
a criminal prosecution and the county judge
has a right to appeal. 2. The appeal bond is
not necessarily to be signed by the appealing
party; he is as much bound therebv as if his
signature was to the bond. Motion to dismiss
appeal overruled.
Thompson vs. the State—From Van Zandt
county. This is a motion to dismiss the appeal
for want of a final judgment, that is, oue nut
iu accordance with article 805, C. C. P. H^ld,
the final judgment iu the record is in substan-
tial compliance with the article. It is as fol-
lows: * * * 44 It is therefore ordered, ad-
judged aud decreed by the court that the judg-
ment rendered in this cause be and the same is
ill all things confirmed, for which let execu
tion issue, to which ruling defendant excepts
and gives notice of appeal in open court.
* * * Motion to dismiss overruled.
The following cases, in which similar mo-
tions to the above were made, were likewise
disposed ot and motions to dismiss appeals
therein were overruled: Shaw vs. the State—
from Nacogdoches county; Stono vs the State
—from Van Zandt county, and Goddard vs. the
State—from Van Zandt county.
It has come to light that, many years ago,
the painted rock on Harpeth river was ap-
proachable. but, influenced by legends of hid-
den treasure, men have long "since blasted the
foot-ledge away. It is now possible to ap-
proach within thirty feet only. This pairing
is supposed to be a relic of a defunct people.

We desire to call attention to a very valuable acquisition to our business—IRCK GX2
POSTS —believing that wo will supply a want long demanded, which has been frequently attempted
by many manufacturers in an experimental way, but accomplished by none, es far as our experience
leads us to believe.
We find in many instances, where local protection is impracticable, that stockmen are continually
at war with the elements—fire and water—owiug to their destructive propensities, which, however inno
cent they may be in their struggle for natural preoedence, often inflict serious damage to rancheros ana
farmers, from the fact of their fence posts not being construct*! of material that will stand th« on
'slaught of such demoniacal ravages. These posts are applicable to any character of soil where an ordi-
nary support for similar purposes is required. The pric« puts them within reach of all contemplating
mprovements of this character, whilst the constructive principle indorses them to he far superior in
every respect to the old wooden pegs now seen augle-ing at every roadside throughout the country.

"Wilmington, 2>elawaro*
Having, after long and careful study aud great
expense, succeeded in perfecting the above re-
ferred to machine, we ofTer it now to the public as
the most powerful, safe and expeditious compress
in use.
Wholly of metal, reducing its risk of destruction
much in case of fire, and working with scarcely any
friction, its movements are smooth and noiseless;
and as tne wftole power is directly applied to the
bale without intervention of levers, cog gearing or
other devices common to other forms of com-
presses. its work is performed at leas cost of fuel
per ba;e than any press in use.
When used in combination with Riesel's Bale
Ejector, which discnarges the pressed oale as soon
as the press open?, thereby relieving the meu front
that laoor. lOu bales per hour can be compressed
and tied.
The capacity of the press is '.3000 tons, aud this is
applied to each bale pressed.
These presses are built in the very best manner,
and with all ihe care that *kill and experieo-.-e can
command, and are guarauteed in all their details.
