About Hailroad Matters.
A call was made yesterday morning
•through the columns of the News,
signed by the President of the Galves-
ton Cotton Exchange, requesting a
meeting of citizens to hear the views
of two gentlemen now in our city in
the interest of the Henderson and
Overton Branch Railroad. From some
cause or other the meeting proved a
failure.
Only a couple of days ago the News
directed attention to the building of
two branch roads in the Northeastern
portion of the State—the Southwestern
Road from Shreveport to the Sabine
river and the Tyler Tap Road from
that city to an intersection with the
Texas and Pacific—both intended to
divertportion of the trade of Texas
from the Gulf outlet to that of the
lied river. Both schemes are in a pro-
gressive condition, and it was deemed
proper by the News to acquaint its
readers with existing facts. It is left
with the community to say what shall
be done in the premises. This Hen-
derson and Overton branch is a pro-
jected feeder of the International and
Great Northern Koad, looking toward
our own city for a terminus. It would
counteract to a certain extent the in-
fluence and operations of both the
Southwestern road and Tyler Tap in an
opposite direction, and could not fail
to be of advantage to our trade.
It is to be regretted that the repre-
sentatives of this enterprise could not
have had an audience yesterday. If
not too late another attempt should be
made to hear the views of these gentle-
men. It may have been that the call
was not generally observed, and the
purpose of the meeting but indefinite-
ly known.
But pei• contra of railroad enterprise,
we may briefly allude to the delega-
tion of gentlemen from Dallas
who yesterday passed through Gal-
veston en route for New Orleans.
In conversation with a member of
the delegation—which is a party
having official authority from the
Board of Trade of that city—a repre-
sentative of the News gleaned the in-
formation that the delegates visited
New Orleans in the interest of direct
railroad connection between Dallas and
that city. The gentleman was reticent
as to details, but promised information
upon the return of the party. We
have every reason to believe, however,
that the mission which takes them to
New Orleans is to sccure the terminus
of what is known as the Midland Rail-
road at the enterprising city of Dallas.
The city of Waco is the present named
terminus of this road, but it is be-
lieved Dallas will urge its claims for it.
A^vriter iu the New Orleans Pica-
yune of Thursday, in a communication
upon the Now Orleans and Texas Rail-
road, throws some light on the route
of this 'Midland road. Speaking of
certain projected connections, the
writer says:
From this point. Orange, we would
connect with, first, the Houston and New
Orleans Railroad, which is graded and
has been in running order from Orange
to Houston, which is at present the rail
road center of Texas ; secondly, with the
New Orleans and Midland Railroad,
which is to run to Waco, giving us direct
communication with the heart of Texas,
and opening up for us a trade with the
richest and most populous section of the
State. This road, the New Orleans and
Midland, will cross three lines of rail-
roads, viz : two branches of the Interna-
tional Railroad, and the Houston and
Texas Central Railroad, and will be one
of the most important roads in Texas.
The charter has been granted to a com-
pany composed of English capitalists,
and the people of Waco; the capital
stock has been subscribed for, and un-
questionably the road will be built.
Were it settled definitely that our road
was to be built, I have no doubt that
they would commence work on their line
immediately, and believe they would be
willing to join in with us and put both
roads under one management.
We point to these evidences all
around us of progressive thrift and
enterprise, and deem the occasion one
upon which our own people may be
reminded of the necessity of being up
and doing. The commercial supre-
macy of Galveston can only be main-
tained by the practice of a united and
liberal policy in matters pertaining to
the encompassment of trade. Our
people have the making or unmaking
of Galveston purely in their own
hands.
The London Time* regards it as an
imperfection in our system of govern-
ment that the President and the Cabi-
net can continue to hold office after
the nation has voted its want of confi-
dence in them. The Timet should un-
derstand that it is a common thing for
men in whom the people have no con-
fidence to hold office in this country.
Some of the "outrage" shriekers
have not yet had enough of the bloody
shirt business. One of them appro-
priately makes his appearance through
the medium of the Washington Re-
puMican. Listen:
The indications show that the bright-
est page of American history, the record
which includes the emancipation of a
race, and the enfranchisement of millions
of human beings, is in danger of being
blotted out, or that the nation will be
disgraced by a return to the cruel days
when the slave oligarchies and the fraud
ulent aristocracy of the South ruled the
country. These will be the issue* in the
next campaign, and it will only be neces-
sary then that the party shall have
leaders capable of inspiring the confi-
dence of the people and crystallizing the
influences which await leadership now,
to give us the success we deserve.
"Answer a fool according to hit
folly," and the St. Louis Republican
does:
Ho you haven't yet made up your mind
to compose the clods of the valley over
that bloody shirt ? Well, hang it on the
outer walls If you want to. But where
are you going to get your " leaders capa-
ble of inspiring and crystallizing," etc. ?
if anybody can tell what that means. It
is perfectly safe t* bet a dollar and fix
bits that y ju can't get Batler, or Logan,
or Morton, or Zach Chandler, or Blaine,
to touch that bloody shirt again with the
tip end of the longest fish-pole that ever
grew iu the woods.
THE LIMITS OF REACTION.
There could be no greater delusion
than the idea that when the opposition
gets control of the government it will
push affairs with a high hand to the
extreme of reaction.
Revolution applied to political catas-
trophies is a misnomer. Reactionary
fanaticism is always attempting impos-
sibilities. The clock of time can never
be set back—not one minute. The pro-
cess of history is ever onward. Its
compulsive force never knows retiring
ebb; and, though much may go down
to which affection clings, nothing is
fiually engulfed in its tide which de-
serves to survive.
Mutation is the law of national life,
of political movement, of all social
growth and progress. From year to
year, from epoch to epoch, the situa-
tion changes, and the average social
being, consciously or unconsciously,
changes with it.
This country is not to-day what it
was fourteen years ago, or seven years
ago. No representative of the opposi-
tion, in Congress or in any other de-
partment of government, retaining a
sound mind, could desire to reverse
conditions of the country which have
come about during the ascendency of
the Republican party. No conservative
statesman of the South or the North
will dream of unsettling the civil sta-
tus of the negro, or of remanding the
reconstructed State3 to the starting
point of 1866, or of cancelling in any
degree or form the national debt
which has been so inextricably inter-
woven with public finances, with cur-
rency and banking, and with a vast
complication of public interests.
Reaction in any of these directions
has its invincible limits. General usage,
settled habits, common consent, the
aggregate thought of the people, have
crystallized about certain accomplished
facts. To attempt to subvert them
would be neither wise nor practicable;
it might work more or le3S of confu-
sion and disaster, but could never ac-
complish substantial reform.
It does not follow, because the states-
manship of the Republican party
proved fatally defective in many par-
ticulars, and has finally worn out the
patience of the people, that while that
statesmanship predominated in public
affairs no event happened which was
to have been desired, and no seed was
sown from which precious harvests
may not in good time be reaped.
In the trials and vicissitudes of these
fourteen years past, lessons have been
learned which no other school could
have taught. North and South, pride
of section, pride of opinion, pride of
clan, of class and caste, have been
chastened. Conflict and friction have
purged away besetting faults, have
purified and widened perceptions, so
that men in both sections have come to
understand one another better, have
come to realize that their liberties have
been exposed to a common danger,
and have come to feel that, to save
those liberties, and secure their mate-
rial prosperity, they must desist from
alienation, dissension, mutual distrust,
provocation and harassment.
There is no ground for the cry of
some of the Republican journals that
the eviction of the Republican party
from Hhe control of the government
will be the signal for letting loose upon
public affairs wild and reckless
schemes of wholesale reaction. The
thiag is a moral impossibility. The
work of mutation, indeed, may take a
fresh start. Changes in several im-
portant particulars will be demanded.
The public mind is not satisfied with
the existing currency system, the ex-
isting banking system. It Is equally
dissatisfied with a domestic policy
which has lent the pick and flower of
the national army to the service of
political bandits throttling helpless
communities, and with a foreign
policy which has been as undefined, as
spiritless and contemptible as the
other has been specific, truculent and
cruel.
But whatever changes ensue, what-
ever forms they take, movement will
be steadily onward, not in retrogres-
sion. The thought of a nation which
has not finished its destiny, which has
not exhausted aspiration or despaired
of its future, always looks forward.
The American people have little more
than begun their national career. Their
instincts and energies point infallibly
to the future. They have no use for
reactionary fanaticism, call it Demo-
cratic, Conservative or what not, in
the administration of their public af-
fairs, and they will not tolerate it
should it by any means obtain a lodg-
ment there.
THE DISTRACTING CIBBENCY
QUESTION.
In these days it seems that when a
party wins a victory, its real troubles
begin. The New York World insists,
though with evident misgivings, that
the defeat of the Republicans in the
recent elections means the triumph of
the "hard-money " plank in the Syra-
cuse platform. But out in the West
the Cincinnati Enquirer, Pendleton,
Voorhees and others, all professing to
speak for a reformed aad reinvigorated
National Democracy, while claiming to
participate in the victory, reject the
hard money plank, and declare that
the specie payment policy is in the in-
terest of the bond-holders and money
lords, demand an expansive paper cur-
rency and argue that a money which is
good enough to serve the business
wants of the people ought to be
good enough to pay the bonded credit-
ors of the government. For the sake
of harmony in the Forty-Fourth Con-
gress, with its large anti-Republican
majority, it is to be hoped that the
present Congress will adopt some sat-
isfactory solution of the currency ques-
tion. But the Republican majority in
this Congress, divided into contrac-
tiouists and inflationists, hard money
men and paper money men, free bank
men and restricted bank men, have
heretofore been unable to take any de-
cisive action on the question, which is
destined, if it becomes an absorbing
issue, to scatter the elements of both
parties and recombine these elements
in new political associations. Perhaps
the repeal of the legal tender act, except
as regards past indebtedness, might so
far quash or neutralize the question as
to arrest the catastrophe. But it is
very doubtful whether the Congress
that is shortly to assemble has the
courage to try such heroic treatment.
Gov. Bradley, of Nevada, was greatly
amused, during a recent trip on the Cen-
tral Pacific Railroad, he being mistaken
by a huge Missourian for a monte sharp.
FROM BRENHAM.

and energetic townsman, A. H. Lee,
nearly all of the cotton from this section
goes via the Direct Navigation Company.
FROM DALLAS.
[Special to the Galveston News. 1
Dallas, Nov. 13,1874.
Cotton is ranging from 9 to 13 cents,
the bulk bringing about llf cents.
There are two parties here buying and
shipping cotton to factories, in a com-
pressed state. They are live, active men,
and Galveston had better begin to wake
up. There were 325 bales shipped this
week, as follows : 130 baleB to New Or-
leans, a few to Fall River, and the bal-
ance to Galveston. No data from the
Central Road ; the above is over the Pa-

[Special to the Galveston News."I
Jacksonville, Nov. 13,1874.
Business is improving, and cotton is
coming in pretty lively and selling for a
good price.
The Rusk Tramway is graded to within
a very short distance of Rusk, and about
two miles of the track is laid. I under-
stand that the citizens of Alto contem-
plate building a road from that place to
Rusk. If this is done, it will bring sev-
eral thousand bales of cotton to this
place.
Since my last, three more convicts—
two whites and one negro—have escaped
from the force at work on the Tramway,
they being tired of looking like signs for
a barber shop and railroading, quietly
took their'departure for parts unknown.
The health of the people is generally
good. Weather cool, but pleasant.

A fire occurred in the First Ward, in
the vicinity of Beauchamp Springs, re-
sulting in the total destruction of the
dwelling of Mr. J. R. Burrell. The dis-
tance was so great from the center of the
city that the building was destroyed be-
fore the engines could arrive in time to
suppress the fire.
FROM HUNTSVILLE.
(Special to the Galveston News.)
Huntsville, Nov. 13,1874.
There has been shipped for the week
ending to-day 391 bales of cotton. On

Our bully little town, as the emigra-
tion reporter calls it, is steadily on the
improve. « We are averaging fifty bales
of cotton per day, all of which is going
to Galveston—Grinnan & Duval the prin-
cipal consignees. We received thirty
bales of cotton to-day from the town of
Nacogdoches. The owners of the same
Baid it was their first visit to this point,
and that they were well pleased with
Overton and also the price they received
for their cotton, and say they intend to
make Overton their market and shipping
point for cotton and provisions. Our mer-
chants are wide awake and looking to
their interests. They are selling goods
low andpaying high prices for cotton.
The Henderson and Overton Railroad
is all the talk at present. It is sure to be
built. There is a committee in Galveston
at present negotiating for the same. This
road will be a great feeder for the Inter-
national Railroad, as it will control all
the cotton in the eastern portion of the
State and turn it toward Galveston.
The emigration party passed here on
last Wednesday night. All of them
seemed to be in fine spirits and were
very comfortably fixed for their trip.
Health of the county good.

The Federal Court is progressing
finely.
FROM WACO.
[Special to the Galveston News.]
Waco, November 13,1874.
The reports current yesterday as to
number present at the tearing down of
the inclosure seem to be exaggerated ;
there were not over a hundred in sight
on the square when the Sheriff, General
Ross, dispersed them. The Grand Jury
adjourned till Monday without taking
any action. The men who led the move
are among the most substantial citizens
of Waco. There is much bitter feeling
and considerable indignation expressed.
The square has been entirely cleaned by
the Street Commissioners.
NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, Nov. 13.—The Return-
ing Board met to-day. They received
the Conservative committee of three and
authorized a like committee of Republi-
cans to be present. The Conservatives
gave notice of a desire to file a protest
against the Board canvassing voters, on
the grounds, first, that the law creating
the Board was unconstitutional. Second,
that the law gives them judicial power,
which they could not possess. Third,
admittting it to be constitutional, its per-
sonnel was not according to the spirit or
letter of the law.
Gov. Wells replied that the question of
the constitutionality of the law was a
matter for the courts to decide, but he
believed the Board was properly and le-
gally organized.
The Conservatives were allowed until
to-morrow morning to file their protest.
Gen. Anderson made some remarks
relative to his desire to have a fair
count, and of his willingness to reBign if
called on.
He was followed by Gov. Wells and
Mr. Casanave.
Gov. Wells said that we must have a
legal count, but as some doubts were ex-
pressed .regarding the integrity of the
Board, he would be glad to surrender his
place to a more acceptable party.
A member of the Board favored taking
up the city returns first, in order that the
officers elect might take their places at
the proper time.
The Conservatives showed resolutions
passed by the city officers elect, wherein
they pledged themselves not to enter on
the duties of their offices until all the re-
turns of the State were canvassed.
Awaiting the report of the Conserva-
tive Committee, the Board adjourned
until to-morrow.
RAILROAD MATTERS.
St. Louis, Nov. 13.—The members of
the Western Railroad Bureau met last
night and held a conference with the
representatives of fast freight lines in
reference to a more satisfactory working
of the lines. The members of the Bureau
also held a consultation with a commit-
tee of the Cotton Exchange in reference
to freight on cotton from this city to the
East. It is expected that a general meet-
ing of presidents and general managers
of railroads and commissioners will be
held within two weeks.
THE TURF.
San Francisco, Nov. 13.—The weath-
er is promising for the great race to-mor-
row. In pools, Katie Pease 550 ; Thad
Stevens 370 ; Joe Daniels 160 and Field
175. Lock Locking, Hardwood, Alpha
and Jenny are also embraced in the race.
All horses named will go.
WASHINGTON.
Washington, Nov. 13.—Diplomatic
circles have information that Spain has
paid England indemnity for the Virgini-
us outrage. It is now hoped that the ad-
ministration will push the American
claims.
Washington, Nov. 13.—A full Cabi-
net to-day. It is understood that the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue will
not recommend a change on tobacco or
whisky.
SANITARY CONVENTION.
Philadelphia, Nov. 13.—The Health
Association, which has been in session
here for several days, adjourned to meet
in Baltimore in November, 1875. At the
election of officers Jas. M. Toner, of
Washington, was elected President;
and Vice Presidents and Treasurer were
also chosen, together with the following :
Ex-Commissioner J. H. Billings, M. D„
U. S. A., Washington ; Morian Morris, M.
D., New York; Stephen Smith, M. D.,
New York ; J. J. Woodward, M. D., U.
S. A., Washington; J. S. Stuart, M. D„
Baltimore, and A. M. Bell, M. D., Brook-
lyn.
Dr. Smith, the present President of the
association, was re-elected on the first bal-
lot, but declined to serve on account of
the pressure of official duties. Dr. Harris,
secretary, holds over for two more years.
At the session to-day Prof. Gross offered
the following resolution:
Whereas it is the solemn duty of every
civilized government to provide means
for the safety and happiness, and the
preservation of the health ar'. lives of its
subjects ; and whereas a large number of
diseases incident to the human race are
induced by causes inherent in our modes
of living and by want of knowledge of
the laws of hygiene, therefore be it
Resolved, That a c immittee, consisting
of members of this association from
each State and Territory of the Union,
of which the president of the association
shall be chairman, be appointed to peti-
tion Congress, at its next session, to in-
stitute a bureau of health, to be located
at Washington City, with a branch at
the seat of each State and Territorial
government.
Resolved, We hereby invite the earn-
est co-operation of all auxiliary branches
of the association and of all kindred
bodies in the Union in carrying out the
objects of the foregoing resolutions.
Professor Gross and Dr. Joseph Curtis,
of Washington, advocated the passage of
tne resolutions, which were referred to a
special committee on legislation.
A resolution was adopted declaring
that abattoirs should be located as far
as possible from the center of popula-
tion, and if possible upon tide water.
The following was also adopted :
Resolved, That this association urge
upon governors and legislatures of each
and every State in the Union the im-
portance of enacting laws creating State
boards of health and adequate measures
for sanitary administration throughout.
A resolution was adopted providing
for the appointment of a committee to re-
port at the next meeting of this associa-
tion upon the sanitary and unsanitary
condition of watering places in this
country.

ported last night. The police commis-
sioners and several constables appeared

rant for his arrest and conveyance to
prison. His physician was immediately
summoned, and he certified that the state

Tbe Chicago "Inter-Ocean" IiUn-
happy.
We had taken it for granted that
the Chicago Inter- Ocean had let up on
the Southern outrage business. For a
day or two after the recent elections
its columns were clear of this theme,
but lying having become chronic with
that sheet, it returns to its work like a
dog to his Tomit. Texas, at this time,
seems to be engaging the especial at-
tention of the Inter-Ocean's chief fab-
ricator. In a late number it reTiews
the Peonage Bill canard started a short
time ago by the Washington Chronicle,
another laborer in the same field as the
Inter- Ocean, and pays its respects to
the Democracy of Texas after this
fasbion:
We draw attention to this infamous
proposal of Texas Democrats, with the
purpose of conTincing Northern men
who belieTe or profess to belieTe, that the
Southern white people accept in good
faith the recent amendments to the Con-
stitution and the acts of reconstruction.
We ask such to note the fact that every
Democrat in the lower house of the Tex-
as Legislature Toted to establish peonage
in that State. And we ask aU such
whether they are willing to trust the
question of equal civil and political rights
to the Democratic party of the nation.
And the National Democracy comes
in for a rap across the shoulders from
this valiant adTOcate of equal rights—
over the left. The Inter- Ocean breaks
out in another place with the following
rich morsel:
The spirit which animates the Demo-
cratic party of Texas is shown by the
following statement of facts vouched for
by the San Antonio Express:
I know many citizens of Waco felt good
when they heard of it, and. fellow-citizens, I
felt good, too. Governor Coke.
The event which made the Governor feel
good was the murder, in oold blood, of an ac-
tive member of the State police.
I hate the United States Sag, anft I will
teach my children to hate it.
Senator John Ireland.
love to kill Indians, but I would rather
kill one nigger than two Indians.
French Smith, at Goliad.
During the ante-war period the na-
tional Democratic party policy was al-
ways shaped by the Southern wing of
the organization. When the slave oli-
garchy directed the adoption of the fugi-
tive slave law, Northern Democrats voted
aye, and immediately organized them-
selves into a party of slave-catchers.
When Chief Justice Taney declared from
the bench of the United States Supreme
Court that negroes had no rights which
white men were bound to respect, North-
ern Democrats said Amen. When the
Confederate conspirators resolved to de-
stroy the Union, James Buchanan in-
sisted that secession was unconstitu-
tional, but claimed that there was no
power inhering in the Constitution
through which it could be prevented,
and Northern Democrats agreed to the
monstrous proposition. When in 1864
the rebellion was on the verge of col-
lapse, and Southern traitors cried for
help, a Northern Democratic National
Convention resolved that the war for the
Union was a failure, and impudently de-
manded that the Republic should sue for
a dishonorable peace. Iu a word, the
Democratic party is the creature of its
Southern adherents, and its Southern ad-
herents are equally foes of equal civil
and political rights and of the Union.
The best thing that the Inter-Ocean
can do, is to get up a National Return-
ing Board (after the Louisiana plan)
and count the outs out and the ins in.
Failing in this, its editors might try
on, say, twenty years of Texas peonage
or a small amount of hari kari, leaving
the wherewithal behind them to pay
the expense of dropping their printing
materials into the bottom of Lake Mich-
igan. The Inter- Ocean can never more
be happy, granting even that " Whom
the Lord loveth, He chasteneth."
The Birmingham (Alabama) Inde-
pendent of the 5th instant says that a
rumor wa3 current on the streets of
that city, and generally believed, that
the infamous Charlie Hays, the ma-
lignant defamer of Alabama, was shot
and killed in a personal rencontre with
United States Commissioner Jones, of
Marengo, at or near Greensboro, on
the [4th instant. Should the news be
true, the Independent hardly thinks the
price of crape will be advanced. A
renegade so base as he has proved him-
self can have but few to mourn his un-
timely end; which must be considered
in the flight of a blessing rather than
of a calamity. As the rumor up to
this time lacks confirmation, it may be
taken for granted that Hays is still
left for further lying.
Says the Kansas City Journal of
Commerce of the 9th inst.-: "We re-
ferred, yesterday morning, to the ship-
ment of coffee from Galveston to St.
Louis. The News reports the sales of
last week, in that port, to have been
3115 bags, leaving on hand a total
stock of 6000 bags, with 4000 more
afloat for that port in the brig Tar-
peian. It is but a question of time
when Galveston will be the port from
whence the entire West will obtain its
supplies of coffee and all other tropi-
cal productions."
Wonder what the Poet Laureate
will think of his "Brook" when he
reads the following parody published
in an English paper:
I flow by tainted, noisome spots,
A dark and deadly river ;
Foul gases make forget-me-nots,
Which haunt the air forever.
I grow, I glide, I slip, I slide,
I mock your poor endeavor;
For men may write and men may talk,
But I reek on forever.
I reek with all my might and main,
Of plague and death the brewer ;
With here and there a nasty drain
And here and there a sewer.
By fetid bank, impure and rank,
I swirl, a loathsome river ;
My breath is strong, though I am weak ;
Death floats on rae forever.
The New Orleans Times, comment-
ing on the organization of the Orange
and Bolivar Point Railroad Company
by its recent election of officers, says:
This road will bring a large amount of
business to GalveBton from a section of
Texas full of undeveloped resources. It
will, at all events, secure for Galveston
a large amount of the trade of the Sa-
bine river. That is, it will, nrovided the
veteran Dr. Levi Jones does not succeed
in building up at Bolivar Point a city
that, to use a vulgar but expressive
phrase, shaU " leave Galveston out in the
cold." The doctor has had this city in
his mind's eye for nearly half a century.
He lias been certain all that time that it
will be built, and will be tho great com-
mercial emporium of the Gulf. At all
events he has at last got a start, and he
has substantial men to back him. Now
Galveston, stand from under.
Funny decision in France on an
insurance case: If a house is insured
for the total value, the value of the
land must be included in the sum, and
may be deducted by the company
from the payment of loss. So that one
must pay premiums for the insurance
of that which can not be destroyed,
though he can not have the benefit of
that iniurance.

When one woman attempts to pass
another woman going down a church
aisle, and rips off that other woman's

Dr. W. G. Kingsbury, Commissioner
of Immigration for the State of Texas,
was in Sandusky, Ohio, on the 5th inst.
Dr. Kingsbury was busily engaged there
working up the immigration fever, and
with considerable success. Let them
come ; Texas will be glad to welcome the
hardy farmers and workers of the Buck-
eye State.
By the disobedience of a lad in 1809, a
garden gate in Rhode Island was left
open, and a pig got in and destroyed a
few plants; a quarrel between the owners
of the pig and the garden grew out of it,
which spread among their friends, de-
feated the Federal candidate for the
Legislature, and gave the State a Demo-
cratic Senator, by whose vote the war of
1812 was declared.
In a hospita1 at Montpelier, France, is

When he drinks hot coffee that ther-
mometer flies up against the roof of his
mouth hard enough to lift bis hat off,
and when he eats ice cream it gets down
in his boots and worries his coins.
Messrs. R. V. Tompkins, E. C. McClure,
S. J. Adams and A. Davis, gentlemen
largely representing the commercial in-
terests of Dallas, passed through Galves-
ton yestorday en route for New Orleans.
These gentlemen are a committee ap-
pointed by the Dallas Board of Trade,
and the object of their visit to the Cres-
cent City is to offer every inducement
possible to have the proposed railroad
from New Orleans to Texas terminate at
Dallas.
Some high-toned person sends this in-
formation to a New York paper : " A
certain family in an up-town hotel pay a
weekly board-bill of five hundred dol-
lars. They have seven rooms and a pri-
vate table. Six years ago the wife of
the head of this wealthy family kept a
boarding-house on Fourth street. The
husband struck something, (not oil) and
the interesting mortals jumped from
poverty to affluence. How they must en-
joy life at a first-class hotel !"
Joseph Medill thus defines the po-
litical position of the Chicago Tribune
under his control:
The Tribune hereafter will be, as it
formerly was when under my direction,
an independent Republican journal. It
will be the organ of no man, however
high; no clique or ring, however influ-
ential, or faction, however fanatical or
demonstrative. While giving to the Re-
publican party and its principles a hearty
and generous support, it will criticise the
actions and records of Republican lead-
ers, as freely and fearlessly as in the
days of yore.
The Schoolday Magazine has the fol-
lowing collection of definitions given

Water that stayed out in the cold and
went to sleep. Nest-egg—The egg tbe
old hen measures by to make new ones.
Pig—A hog's little boy. Snoring—
Letting off sleep. Snow—Rain all
popped out white. Stars—The moon's
eggs. Trunk (of an elephant)—His
front tail. Wakefulness—Eyes all the

M. Schlossmaker is reviving in
France the art of making beautiful
porcelain services. His work excels
what is done at SevTes, and promises
to retain for France the supremacy
that she was losing. French journals
rejoice over this as a national event,
but it is odd that they can hang any
national vanity on a name so evidently
German.
A professional man not far from
State street, Boston, returning to his
office one day after a substantial lunch,
said complacently to his assistant:
"Mr. Pitkin, the world looks differ-
ently to a man when he has three
inches of rum in him." "Yes," re-
plied the junior, without a moment's
hesitation, "and he looks different to
the world."
The Chicago Timet offers its proof-
reader as a suitable person upon whom

would, from force of habit, overlook
them. — Courier-Journal.
