Chicago's Board of Public Works
calls for an expenditure this year of
$2,301,515.
The Supreme Lodge of the Knights
of Pythias has decided to hold its
next session in Philadelphia the fourth
Tuesday in August, 187G.
The census of Nashville, Tenn., just
completed by the city authorities,
shows a population of 27,014, an in-
crease of only 1149 in five years.
The Governor of Missouri should
not make such haste fn proclaiming
a day of fasting and prayer. The
Chicago Times says if the grasshop-
pers hold out the days will all be fast
days in Missouri soon.
Tiir general passenger agents of St.
Louis held their regular monthly meet-
ing last Thursday. The only business
transacted of any public importance
was the reduction of passenger rates to
points South, Texas included. The
reduction averages about ten per cent.
A lieutenant in the Russian navy
lias invented a device for quickly stop-
ping holes made in ships by collisions.
It consists of a water-proof, pliable
patch, with mechanism by which it
may be readily adjusted1 on the out-
side of the leaking surface. The
Russian men-of-war are being supplied
with it.
The St. Louis Democrat, under the
head " Cheering from Texas," copies
from a letter received by Messrs.
Keach, Sloan & Co., from one of their
commercial representatives, now trav-
eling in Texas. He says that the
wheat crop of Northern Texas will be
about 10,000,000 bushels, and Texas
" will be in better plight this fall than
ever before, and in a much better con-
dition than any other contiguous
State."
The Memphis waterworks sold at
auction May 20th, for the benefit of
the first mortgage bondholders, and
were purchased by W. P. Wallace,
President of the New York Guarantee
and Indemnity Company, Chas. Keep,
manager of the Ilolly Water Works
Company, Lockport, New York, and
William Goodman, Vico President of
the Third International Bank, of Cin-
cinnati, each of which institutions
held a large amount of bonds. The
price was $175,000, being a little more
than half of the cost of the works.
So Memphis will have the bonds to
pay, without owning the waterworks.
Texas begins to feel like a poor man
who happens to drop in at a country
frolic in which he has no interest. 'Al-
most all the old States are celebrating
centennials and go back to the days
when their grandfathers shouldered
old Queen Ann's muskets, and took a
shot at the British lion. The rude
forefathers of the Lone Star State a
hundred years ago were mostly red;
but San Antonio was once ahead of
Philadelphia in the number, intelli-
gence, refinement and wealth of her
European inhabitants, while "time-
honored Nacogdoches " may celebrate
her centennial ere long. If Texas is
not as old as some other States, she is
bigger than any other, and is now
making as rapid progress as any.
The Chinese have hardly finished
their " official" mourning for the late
Emperor, before they are called upon
to begin a second series of lamenta-
tions in behalf of his unhappy consort,
who departed this life about two
months after her lord. The New York
Times stys that according to Chinese
rule, the whole empire should for one
year be drowned in the depths of woe
on account of the death of the late
Tung-Che; but an edict from his baby
successor mercifully shortened the term
to sixty days. Tung-Che's widow, who
was expected to give birth to a possible
heir to the throne, died March 24, and
her demise is now to be lugubriously
celebrated. The fact that she was
probably "put out of the way " has
nothing to do with the official procla-
mations concerning her departure. It
would have been very inconvenient to
the new government if she had become
mother of an heir to the throne. Her
death makes things pleasant all round,
and the old regency has a new lease of
life.
Tc»i Minerals.
Now that our enterprising State
Geologist has put his enemies under
his feet, it may be well that he should
keep his eyes open and see that enter-
prising private individuals do not get
ahead of him in a knowledge of the
mineral resources of the State. Silver
ore is now coming forward from Gon-
zales and Mason counties, and it only
needs a little puffing in the newspa-
pers to throw people off their balance
on the subject. An article in the New
York Centennial Graphic, in speaking
of Texas says the mineral resources of
the country are remarkable:
Iron, -copper, lead, silver and gold ex-
ist in enormous quantities, and need only
a railroad to furnish cheap transporta-
tion and protection against Indians, to
insure their large development.
Large deposits of iron ore are found in
the eastern part of the State, and also in
the Cross Timbers. This ore is now
worked near Jefferson and produces
a very good quality of iron.
Large deposits of iron ore are found
on the head waters of the Brazos, and a
large vein of brown hematite and mica-
ceous ore near Fort Bowen. The iron
deposits of Northwestern Texas are of
the most remarkable character, equaling
in extent and richness those of Sweden,
New Jersey, Missouri and New York.
They include almost every variety, spa-
thic, magnetic, specular and hematite
ores. The largest deposits of magnetic
ores are situated in Mason, Llano, and
more western counties; immense loose
masses of ore lie scattered over the sur-
face, which have been upheaved by ig-
neous agencies from unknown depths.
Most of these deposits are in true veins ;
as no true metallic vein has ever been
traced downward to its termination, the
supply can not be estimated.
The analysis of an average specimen
gav'e 90 and 96 per cent, of oxide of iron,
with 2818 per cent, of insoluble silicious
substance*, proving it to be magnetic ox-
ide, which will yield 74 93-100 pounds
of metallic iron to the 100 pounds of ore.
Tiie insanity dodge begins to have
its drawbacks. An amendment to the
penal code adopted by the Legislature
of California at its last session pro-
vides that in certain cases if the jury
render a verdict of acquittal on the
ground of insanity, the court may
order a jury to be summoned from the
jury list of the county to inquire
whether the defendant continues to be
insane, and that in case they are of the
opinion that the party is still insane,
he shall be confined "in the insane
asylum until legally discharged.
These violently insane people, how-
ever, soon recover. Last week, in the
city of San Francisco, Judge Blake or-
dered that a jury be selected to decide
the mental status of Mrs. Hannah
Smythe, who shot Gen. Cobb a few
months ago and was acquitted on the
ground of being insane at the time she
fired the shot. Mrs. Smythe's neigh-
bors and her children testified that she
had appeared to be easier in her mind
since she shot the General, and that
her general behavior had been more
rational since she gave vent to her feel-
ings in that way.
They all believed her to be of sound
mind, and one of them said she be-
lieved her mother had always been
sane. Mrs. Smythe was placed on the
stand, and asked by her attorney
whether she int^pded to molest Gen.
Cobb any more. She promptly re-
plied: "No, I got enough of that."
She was asked by the Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney whether she believed
she was sane when she shot General
Cobb. Her counsel interposed with
an objection and was sustained by the
court. Then the lawyers argued the
case at length, Mrs. Smythe's lawyer
remarking, during the course of the ar-
gument, that the jury were asked to
lock a woman up for the protection of
a lawyer, that he might enjoy his ill-
gotten gains. Judge Blake charged
the jury that the question to determine
was whether the evidence rebutted the
presumption that Mrs. Smythe was in-
sane. The jury said it did, and
returned this verdict : " We find that
the defendant does not continue to be
insane." The prisoner was discharged
from custody.
The News printed, the other day,
an articlo collated from the Pall Mall
Gazette, having reference to the sub-
ject of the publication of the parlia-
mentary debates in England, which
demonstrated the exclusiveness per-
taining to that function when members
of Parliament chose to exercise their
prerogatives. A case in point came
recently before Parliament. Mr. Big-
gar, a member of the Commons, dis-
tinguished himself by a piece of ex-
treme and unprecedented severity. He
had the good fortune, in his zeal
for the press and veneration for
standing orders, to turn out of the
House the Prince of Wales and the
German Ambassador. The power of
a single member to exclude strangers
and to prevent the debates from being
recorded, is one which has been used,
but seldom within the present century.
In attempting to give a practical proof
that it was possible to disregard cour-
tesy and common sense, Mr.
Biggar laid himself open to the
charge of gross and undignified
rudeness. In the language of a Home-
ruler, a member should be a gentleman
first and a patriot afterwards. The
right to clear the galleries during the
progress of a debate has never been re-
sorted to, except in the most extreme
instances. Cases might occur in which
it would be advisable to resort to sum-
mary measures, such as a debate upon
an unsavory subject, or a riotous ex-
pression of feeling upon the part of
the strangers present, but any attempt
to curtail the liberty of the press, or
to prevent the reporting of parliamen-
tary proceedings, would simply call
forth a storm of indignant remon-
strance all over the land. It appears
that the London papers supply very in-
different reports of debates, and one
very sagacious periodical sagely re-
marks: "If the debates were no
longer made public, the great bulk of
the community would lose its only
chance of hearing both sides of a ques-
tion." The depth and acumen dis-
played by this cunning writer arc sim-
ply prodigious.
Phok. ScniRMBB, of the Denver
mint, has been making a visit to the
Nevada and California mines, and he
estimates that the product for the
year 1875 will be $85,000,000, and for
1876 $100,000,000. Of these sums the
Comstock lode alone will yield $35,-
000,000 for 1875, and $50,000,000 for
1876.
Texas will doubtless export a good
deal of wheat this year, and should
also export flour; but [it is not likely
that the mills^ill be able to grind
much more than is necessary for home
consumption." The trade between Rio
Janeiro and Galveston is now all one
way. Vessels bring us coffee, but are
required to sail in a circle to procure
round freights—taking cotton from
this port to Europe, and carrying
European goods to Rio. Hereafter
they will be able to exchange Texas
flour for the coffee of Brazil by the
direct route. The custom-house re-
turns show the following exports of
American flour to Rio Janeiro in 1874:
From Baltimore, Alary land, 207,945
barrels, from Richmond, Virginia, 126,-
389, from New York, 16,897. Besides
this, 22,253 barrels were shipped to
Brazil from Pacific ports. The imports
of flour into Rio Janeiro for the year
1874 alone, independent of Pernambu-
co, and other large ports of entry in
Brazil, amounted to 402,371 barrels.
The imports of coffee from Brazil
last year were 296,833 bags, of which
Galveston received but 13,358, while
Baltimore, which city was the largest
shipper of flour to Rio, received 106,-
462 bags of coffee, New York 116,897,
New Orleans 21,993, Mobile 18,660,
Charleston 7745, Savannah 10,025, and
Philadelphia 1,543. That Galveston
is the shortest, and should be the
cheapest, route for the interchange of
flour and other articles of trans-Missis-
sippi produce with Brazil and other
South American, as well as West In-
dia ports, for coffee, sugar, fruits, and
other articles, is so obvious, and has
been so often demonstrated, that it
seems like a^wnste of words and an in-
sult to public intelligence to dwell
upon the subject. The rapid progress
of the Galveston grain elevator, and
the interest in the subject shown by
our business men, will soon exhibit
practical results.
Gov. Tii.dex, of New York, is about
as handy in the use of the veto as were
his predecessors, Governors Seymour
and Dix. Among the last of Gov.
Tilden's vetoes are some upon retroac-
tive laws for the benefit of corporation
ring3; one of them a veto of the bill
which provides that a resolution of the
City Council of the city of Elmira,
ordering the paving of a street with a
special patent pavement, the contract
of the Mayor under such resolution,
and the resolution of the Common
Council assessing for the expense of
the work, "are hereby declared valid
and legal and in full force and effect,"
and that " all official acts of the said
Common Council and Mayor" under
the said resolutions," "the contract
made pursuant thereto and all acts
relative to the ordering and paving"
of the street and "the assessment for
the cost and expense thereof," shall be
held "valid and legal and in full force
and effect."
Gov. Tilden exposes and defeats this
,attempt to validate the illegal and dis-
honest contract, and says:
If there were surprise, fraud or cor-
ruption ; if there were a total want of
jurisdiction ; if there were a breach of a
sound public policy which established
guards for the protection of private
rights against abuses in assessments;
if there were substantial injury aud in-
justice to individuals; if there were
every conceivable wrong possible to oc-
cur in such a matter, this bill, in as
sweeping terms as human language can
supply, adopts them on the part of the
legislative power of the State, strikes
out of existence the private rights which
have been disregarded, and annuls all
judicial remedies by which they can be
asserted or defended.
Besides all this, the Governor says
that the proceedings were tainted by
fraud and bribery, and that aldermen
were interested in the contract, which
was thereby rendered ~void by an ex-
press [provision of the charter of El-
mira.
Galveston is in a condition to give
such advice to New Orleans as the fox
that lost his tail gave his fellows. The
Council of the last named city pro-
posed to lease and give control of the
wharves for a term of years to private
parties. The Bulletin says that nine-
tenths of the business men and capi-
talists of New Orleans have looked
forward hopefully to the plan of mak
ing wharfage free, and are now pained
to see a tendency to perpetrate at home,
by their own people, a speculative mo-
nopoly which Radical impudence never
dared to impose. The fact is, that
the Radicals are not the only people
who are willing to use political power
for purposes of public plunder. People
must learn to look beneath the veil of
politics and religion for the motives of
human action, and pay as little regard
to mere professions as to race, color or
previous condition of servitude. They
must return to the days of stern justice,
when members of the first families, as
well as other people, were sent to the
penitentiary for stealing.
People are 'again making the sum-
mer exodus for Europe. The New
York steamers on Saturday took out
about two thousand and three hun-
dred passengers. During the entire
week nearly four thousand passengers
sailed from New York alone, and the
emigration from other ports was pro-
poitional. A calculation of the aver-
age sum carried by each emigrant justi-
fies the opinion that there were $1,-
420,000 shipped out of our circulation
by mere pleasure-hunters during a
single week, and if the hegira during
the next four weeks shall show an
average equal to that of last week,
nearly six millions of dollars will be
transferred from American to European
pockets.
Col. Alex. Campbell, of Bethany,
West Virginia, the son of the founder
of the religious sect known as Camp]
bellites, is not a shepherd of men like
his father, but sticks literally to sheep.
He carried off the blue ribbons and
the prize «t the Houston Fair, and sold
his lot of 110 bucks at an average of
over forty dollars. He did not try to
pull the wool over the eyes of our peo-
ple to any greater extent.

A Man Found Dead on tbe Bay
Shore.
Douhle Bayou, Chambers County,)
Texas, May 22,1875. f.
Eds. News—This morning I was called
on to go and assist to bury a dead ma;
that was found lying on the Bay shori
by Mr. Rufus Nelson, who was engaged
in picking up drift wood at the time he
found the corpse. I immediately pro-
ceeded to the place where the body lay,
and we concluded that it was too much
decayed for an inquest to be necessary;
we therefore noted down a description of
the corpse and the clothiDg, which is lis
follows : The body was lying on its back,
and perfectly straight. Every particle of
Bkin and flesh was gone off the head,
leaving the skull bone naked and clean
down to the teeth. The flesh was gone
off both hands, but the sinews were still
holding the finger bones together. His
breast was naked, and tlie skin on it was
not broken anywhere ^from his neck
down. There were marks on the breast
which had been inserted in the skin with
India ink. On the left breast was
a flag partly unfurled, and on
the center of the breast was a
ship, with a small flag hanging over the
stern. His undershirt was made of red
and white striped linsey ; the overshirt
was made of heavy blue flannel; his
pants were made of light gray jeans, and
the drawers were red flannel, with white
domestic waistband; his boots were
heavy calfskin, with single soles, with
dark blue or black tops to the legs, and
were No. 9. The body, as it lay, meas-
ured exactly six feet long, but was prob-
ably a little extended. After noting this
description, we dug a grave and buried
it. Joshua Harmon.

son, John Nelson, William Nelson, Sea-

To all, particularly invalids, spring is a try-
ing season. Indications of sickness should
at once be attended to. Fatal diseases may be
caused by allowing the bowels to become con-
stipated, and the system to r^mflfn in a dis-
ordered condition, until the disorder has
time to develop itself. An ounce of preven-
tion is worth a pound of cure, is an old and
truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all
who are troubled with the complaints now
very prevalent—headache, indigestion, disor-
dered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or fe_
verish skin, to take, without delay, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so
harmless and decisive in its action. It at
once strikes at the root of the disease and
produces a healthy tdne to the system. Peo-
ple never need suffer from any disease arising
from a disordered condition of the liver if
they would take this excellent medicine when
they feel the first indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or four boxes of these pills
with them. They have an almost instantane-
ous effect. They will relieve the patient of
headache in one or two hours, and will rapid-
ly cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and
will effectually prevent a bilious attack.
They are sold by all druggists. my2 lm

OFFICE
> Life As£ociatp of America,
S^. LOUIS, MAY 20, 1875.
To Policy-Holders in the Life Association of America;
About two months ago there wer6 widely circulated, in the public prints,
reports injurious to this Association, which reports were based on a petition,
made to the Superintendent of the Missouri Insurance Department, by three
persons who claimed to be holders of policies in the Association, and who
demanded that the Superintendent should make an examination into its con-
dition—they alleging that many of its investments were unsound, its oflicial
statements untrue, and its condition insolvent, and asking for the appoint-
ment of a Receiver. The Superintendent declined to make the examination
petitioned for, and the Court before which the matter Was brought, refused to
grant an order compelling an examination.
Meanwhile, the Directors of the Association, themselves knowing it
to be solvent, and wishing to dissipate any doubts that any policy-holder may
have had regarding its solvency, requested the Insurance Superintendent to
make a personal examination of its a flairs. The report of that Officer is given
in full herewith.
The law, providing for such examinations, requires that the valuations
£
of Assets, Policies, etc., shall be made on the basis of six per cent, interest,
(and the American Experience Table of Mortality.) The Superintendent has,
therefore, included in the Schedule of Assets, only such items as he considers
admissible, on a six per cent, valuation. The items of $7,703 87 real estate
loans, noted by him as excluded because of defective security, arc, in the judg-
ment of the Directors of the Association, undoubtedly good for their full
amounts, the defects in title not being fatal, the margins abundant, and the
interest on them having been fully paid ; there were also not included
two other items, one consisting of a valuation over cost, made
by competent persons, of the real estate owned, and the other consisting of
Accounts and Balances in process of adjustment and settlement, in the hands
of persons whose responsibility is known to the Directors, but could not, with-
out too long delay in procuring evidence, be made apparent to the Superin-
tendent. These three items, amounting to about $03,000, would, if admitted,,
have shown the surplus of the Association to be, in round numbers, One Mil-
lion of Dollars on a six per cent, valuation. But, as the resources of the
Association are ample, regardless of these three items, the Directors did not
urge the Superintendent to include them among the Assets.
We ask your especial attention to the remarks of the Superintendent,
respecting his personal examination of the titles, valuations, and other details
of the real estate loans, as he carefully scrutinized every one of them; what he
says supports fully what we have before declared as to the high character of
these investments.
The Superintendent'J report disposes of all but one of the material
charges in the petition above referred to, and that one relates to the truthful-
ness of the last official Statement of the Association. To those who know
the facts this aspersion will seem to be unnecessary to notice, but as some may
think it would be met in an explicit way, we have simply to say that we reaf-
firm the substantial accuracy of that report, and say, that the Assets and Lia-
bilities therein set forth, were correctly stated on the basis and in the manner
of valuation maintained.
Submitted by order of the General Board of Directors.

ST. LOUIS, ffliy 19, 1875. i
Hon. FRANK P. BLAIR, Superintendent Insurance Department :
Sib—Having completed a personal examination, made at the request of the
Directors of the Life Association of America, into the condition, on the first day
of April, 1875, of that Association, I present the following report:
As required by section 1 of the act of March 28, 1874, for the purpose of
making.tliis examination the rate of interest assumed was six per cent, per
annum, and the rate of mortality was that established by the Americpji Expe-
rience Table.
The loans cf the Association, secured by deeds ot trust or mortgages on
real estate, and amounting to $2,201,878 57, have been carefully examined one
by one, and a close scrutiny made into the title and value of each; and in cases
of doubt of the sufficiency of the security, inquiries were made of parties not
connected with the Association. Loans to the amount of $7705 87 have not
been admitted, because of defective security. The remainder, $2,194,172 70,
is, in my opinion, satisfactorily secured. The policies of insurance on perish-
able improvements, were examined in every instance, to see that the policies
were in force, and made payable to the Association in the event of loss.
The values of the stocks, bonds and other collaterals, pledged for the
payment of $136,193 02, amount loaned on collateral, were carefully considered
in each loan.
In the amount of premium notes and loans, $918,042 11, no note or loan
in excess of six per cent, reserve has been included, nor any on policies not in
force.
The value of the real estate owned by the Association, stated at $270,-
400 40, represents its cost value after deducting incumbrances, no addition
being made for supposed value over cost.
The amount of stocks and bonds owned is $310,422 02. This is the
aggregate market value on 1st of April, 1875, as closely as it was possible to
ascertain it. The stated amount includes $140,000 of Missouri bonds, and
$17,325 of United States bonds.
The amounts of cash on hand and on deposit at departments, $71,990 22,
and of interest and rents accrued, $88,304 87, were fully verified. The accrued
interest was not estimated, bi^was carefully computed in this office.
The gross amount of uncollected and deferred premiums, aggregating
$380,677 88, were ascertained by an actual examination of the Association's
books, and are all on policies in force, and so reported. From the above ag-
gregate the loading $128,892 88 has been deducted, leaving the net outstand-
ing and deferred premiums, $257,785 00.
The following statement exhibits concisely the result of the examination,
and shows a surplus to policy holders of $900,994 00 over all liabilities.

PllOCLAMATION
By the Governor ol tlic Slate of
Texas.
To all to whom these presents shall come:
I, RICHARD COKE, Governor of Texas, by
virtue of the authority vested in me by an
act of the Legislature of the State of Texas,
entitled " An act authorizing quarantine on
the coast of lexas and elsewhere within the
State, approved June 10, 1870, do hereby de-
clare quarantine on the coant of Texas and
direct the authorities of every corporate
town^and in case there are no corporate
townraJhthorities, then the County Court of
any eotfnty on the coast to oarry out the pro-
visions of said act, and of the act entitled
44 An act to amend an act entitled an act au-
thorizing quarantine on the coast of Texas
and elsewhere within the State," approved
August 13, 1870, and of the act entitled An
act authorizing counties, cities or incor-
porated towns to establish quarantine oidi-
nances, rules or Bregulations,"' approved
May 4, 1874—Quarantine to extend to all
vessels sailing from or touching at any sea-
port or coast south of north latitude 25 de-
grees, to wit: The western coast of Africa,
the West India Islands, the eastern coast of
South America, of Central America, and of
Mexico and from Key West, Florida. It is
further directed that the health officers at tin;
respective ports shall, as soon as they arc re-
liably informed of the existence of infectious
or contagious diseases at any other port, city,
town or village not herein specially included
within this State or out of it, declare vessels
arriving from such places subject to qnaran-
tine, and to all regulations established for
the enforcement of the same. *
This quarantine to commence on the first
day of June and continue until theiirst day of
November next, unless sooner suspended.
Vessels sailing from or touching at any
port, or any coast above mentioned, and en-
tering any port on the coast of Texas, during
the continuance of quarantine of such por£
if free from disease, maybe disinfected and'
relieved from detention, or fdetained for a
term that will make twenty days from de-
parture from the above named infected ports
or districts, at the discretion of the Health
Officer.
Vessels upon which infectious or conta-
gions diseases appear shall be detained for
twenty-live days after all disease has disap
peared from such vessel or vessels, and then
allowed to pass.
Health Officers are directed also to provide
and enforce such regulations as will prevent
all communication with vessels in quarantine.
These officers will also provide for the tho-
rough disinfection of all vessels on which
there has been any contagious or infectious
disease before they are allowed to leave qua-
rantine, all expenses necessary to such disin-
fection to be paid by the vessels.
Quarantine stations for enforcement of this
proclamation are hereby established at Sa-
bine Pass, Galveston Pass, Pass Cavallo,
Aransas Pass and Brazos Santiago.
The quarantine station shall be established
by the proper Health Officer at each of these
passes, as near the outer bar as possible,
looking to safety of vessels lying at anchor
and convenience in boarding same.
The Health Officer at Brazos Santiago shall
also 8ui>ervise vessels entering at the mouth
of the Rio Grande.
The Health Officer to be appointed by the
corporate authorities of Galveston is charged
with the enforcement of this proclamation at
Galveston Pass; the one to bo appointed at
Indianola for Pass Cavallo; the one to be ajj-
pointed at Corpus Christi for Aransas Paes.
The county authorities on the Rio Grande
are authorized and directed, until this quar-
antine is suspended, to establish such regula-
tions as will prevent the importation of dis-
ease into this State by land.
The authorities of all seaport towns, and
county authorities, are referred to the acts
of the Legislature, approved June 10, lb70,
August 13. 1870, and May 4, 1874, for such
other information as they may require for
their guidance.
