Jtidiesous Advertising.
Acting on the principle, Jong since discarded
by merchants who advertise extensively, that
all that is necessary to secure patronage, when
merited, is to tret so much printed matter in
circulation, many men who seek business dis-
figure fences and dead walls with placards and
employ runners to thrust circulars and hand-
bills into the faces of people as they pass
through the streets. All these are usually need-
less or mistaken methods. The best and cheap-
est way of reaching the public is through the
columns of a respectable, enterprising and
widely-read newspaper, and even then there
are many things to be taken into consideration
aside from the mere extent of circulation, which
is often of less account than the general char-
acter, the social relations and business pursuits
of readers into whose hands the paper goes. A
newspaper like the News, which goes regularly
into family circles in both city and country, as
well as into counting rooms and professional
offices, throughout the state, is of vastly more
value to advertisers than if it was read prin-
cipally on the cars or taken only for its com-
mercial or other specific information furnished
to a class only. The News circulates exten-
sive^ in every section of the state, and is taken
by almost every family in the section tributa-
ry to Galveston. The holidays are approach-
ing, when dealers expect a rush of business,
and no means at their disposal offers the same
facilities for communicating with the public as
the advertising columns of the News. Send in
advertisements at once and arrange for month-
ly terms.

Chicago and St. Louis are still bantering
each other as to the comparative importance

destined to become the " future great" me-

to show that its postoffice does a yearly busi-
ness second only to that of New York, and St.
Louis accounts for this by saying that 11 the
majority of the letters are written by Chicago
women in reply to advertisements for wives."
Thursday has been set apart as a day of
thanksgiving and praise to the Father of all
for the bountiful blessings and many mercies
which He has showered upon us during the
past year. No other day in the year is so pe-
culiarly appropriate for an unostentatious dis-
play of charity, and there are many ways of
dispensing it. It is to be feared, however, that
those who will try to make some poor family
happy and comfortable will be few compared
with those who hava no thowgftt of any one

Col. John Bell Brown low. a son of the
famous east Tennessee parson, in a recent in-
terview with a reporter «? the Washington
Republican, advocated the policy of closing
the doors of the republican party u against all
applicants of rebel antecedents.* The excln-
siveness of this holier-than-thou policy does
not meet with the approval of the truly loyal
Republican even, as it believes that " a broad-
sr, more generous and catholic policy, one that
will encourage the growth of republican prin-
ciples the country over, and, at the same time,
free that party from the charges of proserip-
tiveness and sectionalism now laid at its doors,
would be to open those receptacles to every
tried and trusted citizen who may honestly
seek admission."
NORTHERN EXTREMISM AND SOUTH-
ERN CONSERVATISM.
The northern press of the extreme repub-
lican type, emboldened by recent successes,
harps more vehemently than ever upon the
string of sectionalism. If it were honest
and sincere in its shrieking variations upon
this theme, we could pity the minds that
were possessed and the conscience tiiat was
harried by the demon of sectional prejudice.
But the stalwart demon is not of the char-
acter of that which took possession of Saul.
It is an invited guest, instinct with malign
motives and manifested in infamous ma-
chinations. Regarding the refusal of the
democratic majority in congress to make
appropriations unless certain laws could be
repealed, the country is told that it was ac-
cepted at the south with acclamation, and
that the " southern brigadiers chained the
northern democracy to their chariot
wheels and drew them captives
through the corridors of the capitol."
It is told, too, that southern sentiment was
inflamed at every point, and that proscrip-
tive partisanship ruled the hour. It is hardly
necessary to remind intelligent readers that
such statements are strong in nothing but in
violence of misrepresentation. The northern
democracy at the late sessions of congress
shaped the policy of the democratic party;
and, in so far as the chariot wheels of tl±e
caucus were decorated with victims,
the "southern brigadiers" alone were
sacrificed. Neither is it true that the forced
extra session of congress was accepted at
the soutli as the part of wisdom or prudence.
The southern democracy, its garments long
burnished with adversity, had acquired con-
servatism from misfortune, and, as a
body, it afforded its representatives in con
gress no moral support in going through
a programme of blunders at the instance of
the northern democracy, then presumably
acting under the advice and leadership of
Mr. Tilden. On the contrary, the abler
portion of the southern press directly and
inferentially condemned the southern ob-
structionists, to the extent of recommending
new leadership and new counsels at the peril
of a rupture of party organization. In this
the southern press showed an independence
and adaptation to the necessities of the pe-
riod that the blatant stalwart organs of the
north have never been seen to exhibit. When
the republican party a few years ago was
brought to the impetuous edge of ruin by
stalwart corruption and mismanagement the
organs of sectional intolerance and partisan
desperation remained chained to their idols,
a temper the exact opposite of southern con-
servatism leading them blindly onward in
their mad career. Such living monuments
of a ruinous school of politics as the Chi-
cago Inter-Ocean and New York Tribune
have not the patriotism or candor to ac-
knowledge that the rule which they propose
to reinstate" created the disgust which
came near overwhelming the republican
party With the returning strength of that
party, due to the mild administration of
president Hayes, the repression of the stal-
warts, and the amazing folly of democratic
leadership, the harpies of sectional politics
at the north are more than ever furious in
denunciation of the south. Why is this?
They dread the admission of southern con-
servatism to a normal position and function
in national politics. They dread a recon-
ciliation of the sections, with southern pp.
triotism and northern patriotism joining in
a common pride of country upon a com-
mon ground of nationalism, for they know
that all this would mean the doom of stal
wart ism, death to the hopes of politicians
who had made a tirade of sectional virulence
and recrimination.
A DILU1ED APOLOOY.
The board of directors of the Bryan agri-
cultural and mechanical college has thought
fit to supplement its apology to the faculty
for removing them with a statement which,
in point of meaning, is either too deep or too
shallow for the grasp of human comprehen-
sion. From developments and facts under
the charges and implications of president
Gathright's communication affecting Profs.
Banks, Martin, Lewis, Morris and Hogg,
the communication of cadet Crisp affecting
the everlasting Prof. Hogg, and other cir-
cumstances, the board concluded that they
ought to be dismissed. In the very next
sentence the board makes it known to all
whom it may concern that, " the main rea-
son for requesting such resignations was
that the good of the college required it, and
the request was made without reference to
any pending charge." In one breath the
guilt of the designated members of the fac
ulty is held to be circumstantially or other-
wise established, in another, as if by the
" presto " of a professional juggler, it is im
plied that their elimination was determined
on without reference to any pending charge
This manner of letting down the Bryan A.
and M. faculty upon no charge, where the
investigation of charges is admitted to have
developed particular and general culpa-
bility. certainly entails an uncalled-for sac-
rifice of humanity. What was the matter
with the board? Were the directors afraid
of CapL Crisp, with his battery of postal
cards? Or is it true that politics are taking
the place of conscience, and making cowards
of us all?
THE POSITIVE ROOSTERS AND THE
FOX.
It is an old story, but it renews its youth
like the eagle. There were two professional
roosters in one barn yard. They had a soft
thing of it. to use the language of popular
parlance. They got their meals regularly,
and had everything that was necessary to
make sensible roosters happy. But, unfor-
tunately, they were very positive roosters,
and were everlastingly quarreling, setting a
bad example to the young roosters that
were to look to them for guidance and in-
spiration. Finally they became so embit-
tered in mutual animosity that they did
nothing but crow over and pick at each
other, even to the extent of neglecting their
bard-yard duties. At last one of the hostile
roosters hunted up an old fox, that lived
over at Austin, and told him what a bad
rooster his opponent was, always fighting
and neglecting his barn yard duties. " Ah,"
remarked the old fox, "I must go over in
person and hold an investigation." He did
so. The result of it was that very soon
the hostile roosters and their respective
backers were flopping about the barn-yard
with their heads off, while a prominent
Austin rooster was perched on the fence
warbling cock-a-doodle-doo ! Moral—No
matter how much a man may know, it will
never be to his disadvantage to renew his
acquaintance with ^Esop's fables.
Indian miscegenation.
The advocates of the theory of the original
unity of all races of mankind, and of the in-
fluence of climate and local circumstances in
assimilating ail the people of any particular
region, may find an argument in the fact that
the aborigines of America have so nearly
maintained their original traits, notwithstand-
ing the large infusions of foreign blood into
the tribes since the discovery of America. In
Mexico and South America many of the origi-
nal characteristics of the native tribes stiil
predominate, notwithstanding the intermar-
riage of Indians with Spaniards and other
Europeans for 300 years. Leaving out of the
question the origin of the Indians of this con-
tinent, it seems to be pretty certain that even
before its discovery by Columbus northmen
had visited the country, and it is claimed that
indications have been found in remains of
their works that they continued to reside in
some parts. Be this as it may, there is pretty
conclusive evidence that within the past three
centuries many white men have been adopted
into the Indian tribes of North America with-
out leaving any marked impression from the
mixture of races, except in some instances in
Canada and other British possessions. Last
week Dr. Henry A. Holmes, librarian of the
state of New York, read an essay before the
Oneida Historical society, in which, after de-
tailing many facts, he stated:
It can be shown that from a very early pe-
riod after the discovery there are recorded a
number of cases of Europeans living among
the Indians long after their captivity, and be-
coming honored members of the tribe with
which they happened to be thrown. Facts of
a similar nature have been repeating them-
selves to the present time. In the majority of
cases the Indians did not massacre or devour
their captives. At first they were ready to re-
ceive them with hospitality and respect. In
some cases they reverenced them as more than
human. From what ships their captives came,
in many cases, we have no information; for
the buccaneers and corsairs of those days,
whether preying upon the Indians, or upou the
commerce of European nations, most fre-
quently have left us but the most insignificant
reports of their adventures. It would unne-
cessarily protract this paper to embody all the
evidence I have collected of the residence of
Spaniards and Europeans among the Indians
or North America, within the first one hun-
dred years from the discovery of the con-
tinent. The original narrative, and the com-
pilations of the historians, show that there
were many, either as captives or as adopted
members of the tribes, living with them, and
occasionally acting as interpreters to vessels
ttiat touched the coast for commerce. Our li-
braries are full of narrations of what are
called Indian captivitiss. DeWitt Clinton says
44 fctoe Indians made free of all the captives
whom they spared in battle. The Mohawks
had Englishmen included in their tribe at an
early date. The Five Nations in 1684 had
added so largely to their numbers from Indian
captives as to have increased the number of
their warriors by more than 600 men."
SPIRIT OE THE GERMAN PRESS.
The San Antonio Freie Presse is disposed to
be rather dubious about the speedy completion
of the International to San Antonio. When,
however, it comes to give its reasons, there is
no occasion for surprise at its dubiety. It says:
This is not the first time the International
has had the stretch between Austin and San
Antonio surveyed. About twelve years
ago they had it surveyed for the first
time, and, singular to relate, they went
around New Braunfels, laying the road
out ak»out four miles from town, in the moun-
tains. At that time no notice was taken of it,
because nobody believed that there was any
probability then of completing the road. Af-
terward, when the company had their char-
ter altered, a second survey was made, this
time over San Marcos and New Braunfels.
The people had by this time become aroused on
the railroad question, as Austin had a railroad,
and the Peirce road was approaching San An-
tonio from Houston. When the International
received such immense grants of land from
the state, there was great joy thereat among
tiie people, as.the value of the land was ample to
complete the road. But the public was badly
fooled. The surveyors of tne International
fell like hungry wolves upon tbe booty
Coke had thrown to them, and ac-
quired vast tracts of land, large
enough to be considered principalities in Eu-
rope. The land office issued the certificates
and that was the end of it. They showed not
tke slightest intention of completing the road,
which, after the expiration of a year, went into
the of a receiver and was sold out. Tbe
new directors have now organized, and to give
the thing a start, have been making the survey
again. The engineer corps, consisting of four
surveyors, have already reached San Mar-
cos, and if they keep on as they have begun
they will be in San Antonio inside of ten days.
In order not to delay the completion of the
road a temporary bridge is to be built over the
Colorado at Austin for the construction trains
to bring on the material. It would appear
really as if the new board of directors were
goin^ to work in earnest, and intended
to complete the road as soon as possible.
This is of course very pleasant, but it is best
not to indulge in hopefulness to any exalted
degree, or to expect the speedy cessation of
the monopoly under which we suffer. Our ex-
pet rtations in regard to railroads have so fre-
quently fallen to the ground that it is best not
to become unduly hilarious over the alleged
completion of the road.

Foreign Cold—Exchanges Ajrain Higher

Cotton Exchange, Etc.
[Special Correspondence of the News.]
New York. Nov. 24.—The Algeria delivered
gold as follows: L. Von Hoffman Co., £100,-
000; British bank, £100,400; Drexel, Morgan &
Co., £4^.780; 44 L. W.." £49,780; Brown Bros. &
Co., £30,825. Total, '£338,7*5.
The foreign exchanges are again higher—all
the bankers advancing rates to 4.i$l>£ and
4.84>-2, except the British, which moved them
up to" 4.Si and 4.85. Actual business is at
4.8t>4j(g;4.Sl for 60s, 4.83)^(^4.83for demand,
and 4.84, less 1-16, for cables. Commercial sig-
natures range from 4.79(a4.SO,, Bills on Paris,
5 21 j and 5.23%.
The assay office in this city sent $1,000,000
gold to Philadelphia for coinage into mint-
drops; $4,000,000 will follow on Monday, and
shipments will contiuue until §45,0JO,000 has
been forwarded.
Earnings of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
road tor the second week in November were
$33,260, against $74,786 the same week last
year.
Receipts of cotton since September 1 add up
I,824,28.\> bales, against 1,464,795 bales in 1878.
Advocates of a crop not exceeding 5,000,000
bales are increasing, and very few go above
five and a quarter millions.
In the recent October " cornern in cotton at
Liverpool, checks of differences (losses) were
received from three firms for over $1,000,000!
The 44corner"' was managed in the interest of
several wealthy continental houses, by
Ranger, of Liverpool, and not for the interest
of tae latter personally, as has been sup-
posed.
United States bonds are quite neglected for
the moment, and the "calls" are not more
than half attended. Sales of $10,000 small
coupon 4s were made at 103 Vg and offered at
. The foreign market is also quiet for our
bonds.
There was another wild day in stocks; the
bears were not satisfied with their haroc of
yesterday, but pounced on the market at the
very opening, sending prices down in some
cases, 1 per cent, from one sale to another.
As the day wore on matters grew worse and
II.30 a. m. showed a fall of 6(a,'J per cent., this
severe decline being precipitated by 44 stop
orders," and a call upen holders of stocks for
more margin, to which many were unable to
respond. In the crash hundreds were so badly
salted that they will not desire to hear the
word '4stocks" mentioned, for the balance of
the year at least. All day the excitement was
intense—not equaled since the stirring days of
the '73 panic. The great wonder was there
were not a host of failures, and the fact that
there was not shows that stocks of in-
trinsic merit are held by strong hands,
and not subject to the sudden gales that some-
times sweep over the stook exchange. Hither-
to. in many cases of panic, stocks have been
held in blocks by professional operators, and
when tumbled on the market have m»de mat-
ters worse and often caused failures of promi-
nent men. But this is not the case now.
Stocks, as a rule, are held by the public, and it
is that part of the public who have been buy-
ing the wild eats who are now paying the
penalty therefor. The writer remarked no
longer ago than Saturday, there were 44 thou-
sands bustfed who did not know it." The re-
mark has been quickly verified.
The heavy fall of two days—5 and 10 per
cent.—has been taken advantage of by those
bulls who recently sold out at the top"of the
market, and when all is ready a new upward
movement will set in. What will be a power-
ful aid to is the large short interest that has
no doubt been created during the present de-
cline.
Of course the failure of small operators here
and all over the country has been heavy, and
it is possible the fall may run its course in 24
hours—perhaps to-day—though money is now
being manipulated at 7 per cent, and X per
day interest to aggravate if possible the situa-
tion, and shake stocks down to a still lower
level.
The following comparison tells the story:

About 2.30 p. m. the market began to
strengthen, and large blocks of stocks were
taken by parties who evidently regarded
prices on hard pan.
Bonds were also affected by the panic in
Ftocks. Sales—$14,000 Ohio seconds at 110;
$75,000 Kansas Texas seconds at 45; $100,000
C. C. and I. C. firsts at 84; $10,000 Chesapeakes
at 61; $10,000 Alabamas (a's) at 51, and #10,000
North Missouri at 113. The business in bonds
was moderate.
The Canada delivered 457,000 francs in gold.
Cotton opened higher in the face of lower at
Liverpool, but the Wall street panic caused un-
easiness on the cotton exchange, and prices fell
10@15 points. There has been some heavy
buying in Liverpool on American account, the
prices there being below ours.
RAILROAD NEWS.
Under the caption the G., C. and S. F.
railroad the Brenham Sentinel says: Rich-
mond is about 43 miles from this city.
There are to be three stations between Rich-
mond and Brenham on the Santa Fe road,
viz: Bovine Bend, Bellville and Concord.
The road is complete miles this side of
Richmond, that being six miles this side of
Bovine Bend, and 17 miles beyond Bell-
ville. The track laying progresses one mile
on an average per day. By this calculation
we may expect the G., C. and S. F. loco-
motive "to make its first salute in Brenham
thirty-five days hence, Sunday excluded.
Bellville (Austin county) Times: The
grade and bridge work on" the railroad is
about finished. The track layers, nothing
hindering, will reach Mill creek next week.
A great many of the hands working on the
railroad in the bottom have left it on account
of ill health. We understand that seventy-
five of the bands laying the track of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, have
been discharged for want of material to pro-
secute the work. The grading between this
point and Mill creek progresses slowly but
surely. Mill creek, with its immense fill,
was a disagreeable job for anyone, but Mr.
Maloney is doing the work in a masterly
style.
"Hempstead Courier: The track-layers on
the G., C. and S. F. railroad are within 14
miles of Bellville, and still pushing for-
ward.
Lake Charles (La.) Echo: A Mr. Welsh
has established a tie camp a few miles west
of West Lake Charles.
Two full coaches of negroes from Burle-
son, Washington and Grimes counties pass-
ed up the Central Friday night en route for
Kansas.
Waco Telephone : According to the new
joint tariff on the Houston and Texas Cen-
tral and Waco Tap railways, which goes
into effect on November 25, the rates on
cotton between Waco and Ross station will
be 75 cents per bale; Waco and Aquilla $1;
Waco and Whitney $1 25; Ross and
Aquilla 75 cents; Ross and Whitney $1 25;
Aquilla and Whitney 75. Between Waco
and Whitney the rate on first-class freight is
85, second 23, third 22, fourth 21 cents; car-
loads 18, 16, 14, 16 and 9, according to
class. The rates between intermediate
points are in proportion for distance and
class. _

tween Gens. Lee and JFackaon.
The Virginia division of the association
of the Army of Northern Virginia had its
annual banquet at Richmond on the 30th
ult., Gen. J. A. Early presiding, on which
occasion, Gen. Fitzhngh Lee, nephew of
Gen. R. E Lee, delivered the annual ad-
dress, his subject being Chancellorsyille.
The address was very lengthy. What makes
it important is the fact that the speaker gave
the first and until now only published ac-
count of the last interview between Lee and
Jackson before the latter was killed. After
reviewing the battle, and claiming that
Hooker had 133,708 available men, while the
confederates had only 53,303, he gave an
account of the last meeting between Lee
and Jackson. The only person now living
who heard this conversation between the two
confederate leaders is CoL Marshall, of
Baltimore, and he told it to Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who combats entirely the
position taken by northern and southern
military writers upon this subject.
Gen. Lee said: Ah, what an earnest
talk Lee and Jackson had on the night of
May 1. At sunset they took their seats on
a log on the north side of the plank road,
and a little distance in the woods. Col.
Marshall, the well known aid de-camp of
Gen. Leq, was the only other person ores
ent, having been ordered to come to the
spot for the purpose of writing a letter to
Mr. Davis, to be dictated by Gen. Lee.
Marshall sat on the end of a fallen tree,
within three feet of the two generals, and
heard every word that passed between them,
and this is what he tells me Lee and Jack-
son talk d about on that eventful night.
Jackson spoke to Gen. Lee about what he
had seen and heard during the advance;
commented on the promptness with which
the enemy had appeared to abandon his
movement towards Fredericksburg,when op
posed, and the ease with which he had been
driven back to Chancellorsville, and conclud-
ed by expressing the opinion very decid-
edly, and repeating it more than once,
that the enemy would recross the Rappa-
hannock before morning.
He said in substance, by to-morrow morn-
ing there will not be any of them this side
of the river. Gen. Lee expressed the hope
that Gen. Jackson's expectations might be
realized, but said he did not look for such a
result; that he did not believe the enemy
would abandon his attempt so easily, and
expressed his conviction that the main body
of Gen. Hooker's army was in his front, anci
that the real move was to be made from this
direction, and not from Fredericksburg. On
tiiis point there was a great difference of
opinion among our higher officers, and Gen.
Lee was the only one who seemed to have
the absolute conviction that the real move-
ment of the federal army was the one he
was then meeting. In this belief he never
wavered from the first. After telling Gen.
Jackson that he hoped his opinion might
be proved to be correct, Gen. Lee
added: "But, general, we must get
ready to attack the enemy if we
should find him here to-morrow, and
you must make all arrangements to
move around his right flank." Gen.
Lee then took up the map and pointed out
to Jackson the general direction of his route
by the Furnace and Brook roads. Some
conversation took place as to the importance
of endeavoring to conceal the movement
from the enemy, and as to the existence of
roads further to the euemy's right, by which
Jackson might pass so as notlo be exposed
to observation or attack. The general line
of Jackson's route was pointed out, and the
necessity of celerity and secresy was en-
joined upon bim. The conversation was a
lengthy one, and at the conclusion of it
Gen. Lee said to Jackson that before he
moved in the morning, if he should have
any doubt as to whether the enemy was still
iu position, he could send a couple of guns
to a spot close by and open fire on the
enemy's position, which would speedily
settle the question. From the spot referred
to two of our guns had to be withdrawn that
afternoon, as the infantry were suffering
rrom the fire they were drawing
from the enemy. Gen. Jackson
then withdrew and" Gen. Lee dictated
to Col. Marshall a long letter to president
Davis, giving him fully the situation. In it
he regretted he would not have the assist-
ance of Pickett's and Hood's divisions, but
expressed his confidence in the good judg-
ment that had withdrawn and kept thein
from him, and closed with tiie hope that,
notwithstanding all our dangers and disad-
vantages, Providence would bless the efforts
which he was sure his brave army would
make to deserve success. All this "is given
in detail, to show the errors writers upon
Chancellorsville have fallen into in respect
to the origin of Jackson's famous flank
movement. In a little pine thicket, close by
this conference, Gen. Lee and staff bivou-
acked that night. During the evening re-
ports reached him from fiarly that all was
quiet along the Rappahannock. Wrilcox was
ordered back to Banks ford in consequence
of other rumors. Lee's orders had been is-
sued; his plans digested; his trusty lieuten-
ants were to carry them out; the chieftain
slept. Hooker at Chancellorsville. one and
a half mile away, was, however, awake, for
at 1.55 on the morning of the 2d of May he
dispatched to Butterfield to order the
pontoon bridges taken up below Frede-
ricksburg aud Reynolds's corps to
march at once to his headquarters. The
morning of May 2, 1863, broke clear. Gen.
Lee emerged from the little thicket and
stood on its edge at sunrise, erect and sol-
dierly, to see Jackson's troops file by. They
had bivouacked on his right, and were now
commencing the flank movement. About a
half hour after sunrise Jackson himself
came riding along. When opposite to Gen.
Lee he drew rein, and the two conversed for
a few moments. Jackson then started for-
ward, pointing in the direction his troops
were moving. Ilis face was a little flushed
as it was turned back towards Gen. Lee,
who nodded approval to what he had said;
the sun rose unclouded and brilliant, gild-
ing the liill-tops and penetrating the vapors
of the valley, rising as gorgeous as did the
sun of Austerlitz, which produced such an
impression upon the imagination of Napo-
leon. It should be remembered by the peo-
ple of the south, for its rays fell upon tbe
last meeting in this world of Lee and Jack-
son.
but for my wife and boy would again take to
the road. As it is, however, I am playing a
square game, and have settled down on a rancho
about ten miles from this town of Brown woodl-
and am no longer known as Jesse James. I
am not ashamed of my name, but want peace
and quiet for my wife's sake. She has saved
me from killing myself, and if I am let alone I
will be a good citiaen and grow up in a new
life with this great state of Texas. Tell your
reporter to " set "em up " to the boys all around
and send the bill to me. I inclose a photo,
which was taken some years ago. It is not a
really good picture, but will pass muster.
Believe me, yoars in truth, J esse James.
The original of this most remarkable let-
ter, together with the photograph it con-
tained, is now in our possession, and can be
seen at this office.
Mr. Seth Green announces an achieveg
ment of much interest. It is nothing more
nor less than the domestication of shad,
naturally a salt-water fish, in Lake Ontario.
Mr. Green thinks these fish have beeome
land-locked, and will make the lake their
home.

JESSE JAMES HEARD EROM.
A Remarkable Letter.
Hannibal (Mo.) Clipper-Herald: Readers
of the Clipper-Herald will remember that
some weeks ago our reporter caught a night-
mare and rode through the labyrinth of
Hannibal cave, where he encountered, as he
supposed, the James boys gang. The canard
has been laughed at time and again in this
office, and would have been <Hassed with
other forgotten fish stories but for the re
ported murder of Jesse >ames by George
Shepherd, one of his old chums. This morn-
ing we visited the postoffice as usual, and
among other letters found one addressed in
a bold, firm hand to the *' Editor Clipper-
Herald, Hannibal, Mo.," and bearing the
postmark Browuwood, Texas. We opened
the letter, and our astonishment may be
imagined as we perused the follcwing lines
from the pen of Jesse James:
brow!*wood, thk hardest towx IN texas,
Nov. 7, 18T9—To the Editor of the Herald-
Clipper: Your reporter and George Shepherd
have the most brilliant imaginations in Ame-
rica. They ought to pull in double harness as
the boss hypothecators. They can lie with
more appearance of truth than any two men
in Missouri Mark Twain's boss liar, who
walked twenty miles to show a man a tree a
hundred feet around, and when he reached the
spot where the tree was, found only a sage-
brush, and explained by saying tbe tree had
shrunk during the dry spell, was nothing to
them. 1 never saw your cave, and never ex-
pert to. The man who runs me into a hole
will do more than u Pint's n detectives could,
as Louis J. Lull can testify. Lull was game,
though, the gamest man that I ever met. and I
am glad that he pulled through. I read vour
reporter's yarn, and myself and wife laughed
heartily over it. The description of my ap-
pearance, rather of my features, eyes,
hair and beard was accurate. Where did
your reporter get it? I have just read a tele-
graphic account of the wav George Shepherd
got the drop on me, and Til be d—d if I be-
lieve it. George Shepherd would never treat
me in that way. I shot his nephew because I
had to, and he knows it. Besides, George is
not a coward, and would never have shot me
in the back. I wish you newspaper men would
not charge me with every train robbery and
outrage that is committed in Missouri or the
west. I had no more to do with the Glendale
robbery than yon. The bungling manner in
which the robbers allowed the " dust" to slip
through their hands shows this. I would have
known what train the bullion was to be for-
warded on from Kansas City, and would have
stopped that train and no other, bet your life.
But the very thought of the old days and
old deeds makes my heart beat fast, and I
long for the wild and reckless past, and
