substuntiul business man. Then there
may follow tlie usual amount of political elo-
quence, and a motion may come to have
tiie committee of iifty selected by the
people in mass-meeting assembled! This
"1 of course prevail. How could it do other-
iwise? The makj-up of the committee will be
given—when it is made up. : 3. The re]»orter,
who has followed pretty closely the ins and
outs of the political situation, would like to
insert under this number a mild
prediction, but as reporters never have
♦pinions, it is better to hold the uumber over,
and till in with the statement of proceedings,
one day hence. The object now is merely to
remind the thinking people, the tax-payers,
the substance of the town of the exigencies of.
the case, aud to give them an idea of what is
possible if warm fires aud cosy rooms are
preferable to an effort at obtaining good
.government.

THE CITY.
Oity Council.
The mayor's call for a special meeting of the
City Council yesterday afternoon specified the
object to be to read the xniuutes aud transact
^ n ii other business as might be presented.
Wb' Ti City Clerk lise called the roll, the mayor
and .Messrs. Alien, Harry, Nichols, KnowJes
and Sweeney answered to their names. There
not being a quorum present, nothing could be
done b:lt adjourn.

been a diply exempli tied in vJairestou durin.e

v5-s(»ls loaded with the product of the mills.1
The oil, apparently, is ail shipped to domestic
ports, while the cake goes to lhe United King-
d.,:u aud Continental cities. The shipments of
« ake yesterday, as r«ix>rted by the cuitom-
liou-e clearances, were as follows: Bnrk Kose,

Governor Davis's Puneral-
When the roport was circulated yesterday?
n:»>rning that the remains of ex-Governor Ed-%
umnd J. Davis would perhaps be brought to
(lalveston for interment, preparations werej
lia^.ily put on foot to give them suitable re-»
ception. While it was not positive what course
the fa mil\r would adopt, it was thought lȣst
to 1 ready, and to that end the
tialvcston Artillery company tendered.
Ib'-ir hall for the holding of the final
obsequies, and also offered themselves /is a
guard of honor. The Washington Guards
likewise expressed a desire to l»e permitted to
pay tribute to the distinguished dead.
When, however, in response to telegrams of
iuipiiry, answer was received late in the even-;
ing that the burial had taken place iu Austin,
-neasures were at once suspended, but none the
less was Uaiveston desirous to show her appre-
ciation of the merit and sterling qualities Of
the dead governor.
A Family Fracas.
Intelligence was received in the city yester-
day of a diffioulty occurring Thursday nt-ai
what is known as the roll-over place, on Boli-
\:ir peninsula,some twenty mil'-s distant from
Culveston. It appears that Frank Crainer,
living at Bolivar point, had dispatched his sail-
lx>at to the roll-over for the purpose oi loading
and followed on horseback. On reaching th*
place he became involved in a difficulty wi«
Li-, son in-layv—Willie Carr by natue—wifl
whom lie was not on good terms, aud w*
s- ,-erely cut in the left side of the fac<
nud stabbeil in the left side. Craiuer's iu
juries are considered as serious. The v.ioundet
man has been a resident of Bolivar peitinsUB
for more than the third of a century, a.ud lia
always Ijeeu known as a ]>eaceable and law
abiding citizen. Owing to the dense fog pre
vailing yesterday afternoon, there werie n
Ix.ats over from Bolivar, and, in consequence
further particulai-s are not obtainable. 4t i
j;..»t Known whether the man who did the cut
ting is at large or uot. 'out the former is nuttf
than probable, as Thk ]skws is unaware of th
i-esidence of any peace oflicei* on the peuinsu

j n precinct 2\o. 1. the otficcrs of which itre r^i
dents of the city.
Returning- Home.
By both boat and train the visitors wl<o,
thanks to the policy of Galveston, were col
pelled to seek carnival pleasures away fr
home, are returning from New Orleans. Upon
every si ie ciin be heard expressions oi? praist
to the managers of the entertainments iu :1»
* rescent City, and in the next breath will fol
low a regret that Galveston did not pre
sent her usual pageant. It is hardb
necessary, however, to fart her bear upon tht t
subject, for already it is admitted that a giea i
iuistakc whs made, and steps ai*e being dis'
«- ..'ssed looking to the presentation o
an elaborate series of caniivai festiv|
;i- a year hence. The lapse ot on
year, it is lielieved, will not wholly lose th
prestige it has won by former carnival calf
Nautical Note*.

that no money bad been lost, and that the man

some little stir, but as soon as the facts were
made known the excitement subsided.
The IKtinstrels-
Barlow & Wilson's Minstrels were greeted at
the Tremont Opera-house last night by a crowd
that beyond compare exceeds anything seen
during the entire season. The house was liter-
ally ]mcked from pit to dome. The programme
was a lengthy one. and was made up of ex-
cellent features in the main, but the perform-
ance was afflicted with t/K> many resjionses to
lijjht applause. In the first part Tempietous
ballad was the leading feature: the other ef-
forts. while affording laughter, being little
more than is seen in any ordinary minstrel i>er-
formancc.
In the second part Schoolcraft and Coee gave
a new version of a very old and much worn
sketch. Milt, Barlow continues his old man
business, and into it throws about the same indi-
viduality that was recognized several years ago.
The sinking and dancing, by Messrs. Fagan,
Wood, West and Diamond; the clog-dancing,
the skating act of Wood and West, and the
songs and sketches of Gale, Wanl, Cainpliell and
Howard were good aud served materially to
redeem the tameness of the first part. Talbert,
Wayne, Tiemey and Owens, in their acrobatic
dance, made a hit, while George Wilson was
a pronoudced success in his new undertaking.
The company give a matinee this afternoon
when is promised a full and complete perform-
ance.
Stray Notes.
Lilian S., infant daughter of Mr. aud Mrs.
J. C. Stuart, died yesterday morning. The
bereaved parents have the heartfelt sympa-
thies of a large circle of friends.
The Sunday ReiK»rter. a sprightly little
sheet published by Tommie Mil lis, one of the
brightest little boys in the city, has been re-
ceived by The Nkws. It is a creditable little
paper, and its energetic young editor deserves
strong success.
It is claimed that certain ]>arties have lately
been indulging in the practice of attaching
.vires to the Electric Light company's wires
aud letting them hang oil the sidewalk so that
passers-by would come in contact with them.
The practice is an exceedingly dangerous oue.
Should one of these wires, full charged as they
are. strike a child or a delicate woman, the
result might be to cause serious injury, if not
death. The police should watch closely such
tricks as these and see to it that the perpetra-
tors are promptly pr<»sented for punishment.
The Barlow & Wilson minstrels leave on
a special train over the Santa Fe at 5:30 this
afternoon for New Orleans.
A man. who gave his name as Daniel Myers,
was taken in charge by the chief of police yes-
terday and sent to the county jail for safe-
keeping. From his actions and utterances the
chief thought the man iusane. He claims to
be from Rochester, N. Y., and to have* a wife
aud two children in that city. Dr. Johnson,
county physician, had the unfortunate man
under his care last night.

Bellville Standard: Euiauuel Daerndle and
Hermann Hillmon, who were tenants on the
farm of Mr. Wm. Abel, started on Monday
morning for the purpose of killing some ducks,
aud as they did not return k« and his sou went
out to hunt for them, and in a short while they
discovered the dead body of one of the men,
and a few moments later they also espied the
body of the other, lying at long-shooting »lis-
tance from the first "one. Both men came to
their death by gunshot wounds, one tieing shot
in the face and neck, and the other having the
top of his head blown entirely off. Judge
Goode's theory, based on the position of the
two bodies and the distance they were lying
from each other, is that one of the men killed
his companion accidentally, and then, upon
discovering what lie had done, in a paroxysm
of grief or fear, put the muzzle of his own gun
to his head and pulled the fatal trigger. The
men were on friendly terms.

Markets by Telegraph.
New York, February 9.—Governments un-
changed. except for fours, which declined per
cent. Railroad l*onds generally strong. State se-
curities neglected. The general character of the
stock market throughout the forenoon was dull,
and in the afternoon till 2 o'clock was fairly active
but irregular. In the last hour there was less ac-
tivity. but the market was stronger and many
stocks made the highest prices of to-day. The
strongest were Western Union, Union Pacific,
Lackawanna. Jersey Central, St. Paul and Texas
and Pacific, all of which closed a fraction higher
than at the close last night, except Western Union,
which was its per cent, higher. The remainder of
the list was generally higher thau last night, the
market closing strong,with the highest prices of the
dav in final dealings. The Evening Post says the
main points of the agreement between the West-
ern U nion and Mutual Union Telegraph companies
which only awaits signing, are as follows: Western
Union will lease all lines and property ot the Mu-
tual Union and pay 0 per cent, interest on Mutual
Uniou bonds and 1W. per cent, dividends on Mutual
Union stock, consolidation of service, reduction of
expenses, etc. The Mutual Uniou, when operated
bv the Western Union, will, it is believed,
give the Western Union a net yfrofit of
ttjno.floo to SSOO.OOl) per annum on the lease.
The statement of the financial condition of the
Union Pacific will show that after paying dividends
7 per cent., and providing for all dues to the gov-
ernment, the floating debt has been substantially
liquidated. Al>o that over and above the three
above mentioned items, there >. ill remain $00,000
in the treasury besides the sinking fund.

There seems to be in Tennessee a feeling that
ex-Treasurer Polk, who tried to run away with
few hundred thousand dollars of the State's
money, is beiug hardly dealt with. He is
actually iilaeod und^r lock and key, as if he
were a vulgar thief. When Polk was captured
and brought back to Nashville, it was said he
appeared " much broken down."' From that
day public sympathy was with him, and he
has been brought into court and his bail re-
rluced from $1U0,000 to $50,000. Even now
his counsel express^* hiuiseif despondently as
to the prospects of securing the amount of
'iail, pending which Polk is remanded to
prison.

He is sure now of the people's respect and
support. Governor Pattison was, moreover,
the leader of the people of his State in their
war upon the Penwryvania boss, Don Came-
ron. and lii* has therefore, incurred the ill-will
of the petty boss from Virginia—a most iucky

[Memphis Avalanche.]
Our taxing-district system of municipal gov-
ernment is the best ever yet devised, and we
can not afford to return to the old ward meth-
ods. But with the settlement of the old debt
we can dispense with the name "Taxing Dis-
trict," and feel proud to be styled "the City of
Memphis." The settlement of the city debt is a
plaiu business proposition, aud it is gratifying
to know that the business men arc almost a
unit in the conviction that the time has come
to settle it. Now that Memphis is in a con-
dition to resume payment of interest on a por-
tion of its debt it is plain that it loses money
every day that a settlement is delayed—a di-
rect, loss in the unnecessary accumulation of
unpaid interest and indirect loss in the dis-
couragement of investment of capital in manu-
facturing enterprises and in real estate, con-
sequent upon the the uncertainty involved in
the total amount of indebtedness the tax-pay-
ers will finally be forced to liquidate.

tions influence him. He points to the effect of

evidently determines that the certainty of a
Democratic majority is the essential qualifica-
tion for the admission of any new State so far
as he is concerned. XVith bitterness he remem-
bers that if Colorado had not been admitted
Tilden would have been president, and we are
to conclude that there will be no more Repub-
lican States admitted for any cause whatever
if he can prevent it.
[Kansas City Times.]
The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided finally that Federal legislation re-
specting the alleged kuklux societies in the
South was unconstitutional. Several of our
Republican contemporaries, and notably Har-
per's Weekly, makes this an occasion to sneer
at Governor Seymour's article in the Nine-
teenth Century relating to the centralizing
tendencies of the age. Harper's makes light
of Mi-. Seymour's arguments, because the Su-
preme Court has set aside an usurped power
which the Federal government was exer-
ercising. There is no journal in the United
States that did iuore toward the passing of
tin's odious law thau Mr. Seymour's critic. The
very fact that the law was passed in contra-
vention of the rights of the stabs, and in utter
contempt in Congress of tho very arguments
which induced the Supreme Court to set it
aside, is a proof that Mr. Seymour's article is
well founded ami that greater watchfulness is
necessary. The Supreme Court is the most
conservative branch of the government. There
were many decisions for its guidance from
which it could not depart without giving un-
ananswerable reasons for the new departure.
The court has therefore taken the wiser course
to check this assumption of power of the Fed-
eral government.
[San Francisco Call.]
From present appearance ex-Senator Win-
doin is laid on the shelf. After a protracted
contest a comparatively unknown man named
Sabin was elected Senator against Windom
and others. Mr. Windom, as will, be remem-
bered, left the Senate to go in President Gar-
field's cabiuet. His principal performance in
tho treasury department was in refunding
sixes and fives, which were about to expire,
into three and one-half per cents, redeem-
able at the pleasure of the gonernment. The
action was generally regarded as an assump-
tion of legislative powers by a cabinet
officer, but the result justified the
means in public estimation. At least Mr.
Windom rather gained than lost reputation
by the policy he pursued. But in retiring from
the Senate, and so soon after retiring from
the cabinet, Mr. Windom lost his hold 011 the
machine. The influence which had secured
hiui ten reliable votes all through the Chicago
convention escaped from his control when he
returned to private life. He has years enough
vet to to recover in; but the political ma-
chinery of a State is a difficult thing to get
hold of after beiug crowded out. W indom is
only three years older than Blaine aud two
years older than Conkling, but like his late
distinguished associates, he seems to have re-
tired early.
QttSER TARIFF TINKERS.
Inside History of tho Tariff Commis-
sion—Another Chapter Showing its
Xffany Sinnositics and Incompeten-
cies. , ,
[Special to the Chicago Herald.]
Washington, February 4.—The Herald's
exposure of the real object ami design of the
tariff commission has attracted wide attention.
Scarcely a day passes without mention of the
subject in Congress. The story was told not a
whit too soon. Republican senators and repre-
sentatives were in ecstacies over the commis-
sion's roport. It was lauded in every speech,
and made the basis of high-sounding argu-
ments in favor of a continuance of the present
iniquitous system of taxation. All this has
been changed. Every act of the commission
is now looked upon with suspicion. Close scru-
tiny has shown that it was really advancing the
duties, while pretending to reduce them; that
its boasted re-classification aud simplification
was for the benefit of the large manufacturers
and dead against the interests of the mass of
consumers. The report was a piece of clumsy
sophistry. It misivoresented the effect of the
revised schedules. Representative Carlisle says
the man who wrote it either had not read those
schedules 01* had set himself deliberately at
work to deceive the public. The report wes the
joint production of President. John L. Hayes
and Secretary Porter. Naturally enough, the
late commissioners do not like this revelation
of their sinuous couduct. They make 110 de-
feme, because none can 1 e made. One or
two of them have attacked a clerk
of the commission, whom they blame
for the publication of the Kenner and Porter
lettei>. 1'his clerk, they say, was discharged
for bad habits. They are anxious to conceal
their own delinquencies by howling about the
alleged bad habits of a* clerk. The Herald
correspondent can state, on the best of authori-
ty, that no clerk was discharged from the com-
mission for any cause. One left in Chicago
out of disgust at the means employed to bolster
up tho monumental fraud. This clerk was not
a private secretary. He was an assistant clerk
of the tariff commission, paid out of the funds
in the national treasury. The commissioners
were sworn officers of the United
State-;. They were deputed to in-
vestigate carefully and impartially
a subject of the greatest importance to all
classes. They were paid by the whole people.
They were traitors to the high trust reposed in
them. They started out with convictions ami
intentions which no evidence could shake.
They were willing to make combinations for
their individual euds. They made the mistake
of thinking every one was as venal as them-
selves. Blinded by their own selfish purposes,
they could not conceive that any one could
have a spark of honesty or patriotism about
him. Bad habits, forsooth! If one tithe of
the bad habits of the commissioners were told,
those of the clerk would shine out like virtues
beside them. The clerk simply performed a
public duty in exposing the despicable game
certain commissioners were playing. Had they
been as faithful to their trust as was the cleric
there would have been no hubbub over then-
weak-kneed and one-sided report.
A little more of the inside history of this
fraudulent tariff commission will be read with
interest. The members were especial pets of
tho treasury department. No privilege was
too good for them. Extravagant demands
were made aud honored with surprising
alacrity. The act creating the commission au
thorized the employment of a stenographer and
messenger: nothing was said about clerks. But
the commission could uot get along without
clerks. Secretary Folger was appealed to. He
sanctioned the employment of five clerks.
There was little or no legitimate work for those
attaches to do. The main business of o le was
Ira wing checks for the signature of the presi-
dent. He was kept very busy. So fast and
furious were the demands for money that he had
to stay over two days at Cleveland to catch up
with his accounts. The commission had $10,000
to start with. This was exhausted in alxrnt
oue month, aud there was a hotel bill of sev-
eral thousand dollars owiug at Long Branch.
The treasury department was asked for more
money. Obliging as were the officials here,
they held back the funds until vouchers were
made out in proper shape. The vouchers
rarely passed muster as they were presented.
They" had to be changed so as to conform with
the regulations as to official expenditure. To-
ward the end a clerk was constantly traveling
between New York and Washington, attend-
ing to the financial affairs of the commission.
The total expense ran up to about $70,000.
President Hayes and his clerk are still here.
It is not known whether they continue draw
ing their per diem. The commissioners were
sworn in July 0, aud were only entitled to pay
from that date. Secretary Folger. however,
allowed them to count their per dieiu from
July 1—a bonus of $50 to each commissioner.
Great stress has been laid upon the arduous
labors of the commissioners. The report tells the
number of miles traveled and the States and
cities visited. Five days were passed in Wash-
ington to begin with. This time was practically
wasted, siuce, when they assembled at Lon;.
Branch on July 10, not a single member had
any definite idea how the work was to proceed.
Nearly every commissioner took a vacation
during the sessions at Long Branch. The total
lost time, up to the date of the report, would
run from throe to four weeks to each member.
As the per diem ran on the country paid some-
thing like $^KK) for those holidays, to say noth
ing of the cost of reserving accommodation at
hotels, traveling expenses, etc. Commissioner
Underwood was pretty well worn out by the
hard work at Loug Branch. He proposed a
general vacation of a week before starting out
011 their travels. The president was prodding
the commission just then and the proposition
was not favorably entertained.
" Why do you want so long a recess?" Under-
wood was asked. "To be plain, gentlemen."7
he replied. " I want to go home." And home he
went, drawing $200 ahead of his per diem to
pay his way.
•• Do you think anything will come of this
thingY"'President Hayes was asked one day at
Long Branch. "Will all this talk have "any
effect on the commission.'" " No. sir," was the
honest reply. 44 this evidence will not affect me
in the least."
This sentiment pervaded the commission.
Witnesses were often listened to with great
impatience and cut short by the president.
Nor was all the evidence printed. A notable
case of omission ma}* be cited. Mr. Fred. B.
Hawley, a writer 011 political economy, read a
paper on the application of scientific principles
to the tariff. At the close he was interrogated
at great length by several of the commission
ei*s. His paper is printed, but not a word of
the examination (which took a wide range.
Th© Now Route to the Pacific.
[To The News.l
Sax Antoxio, February 8,1883.—An event
of supreme interest to the people of Texas,
especially Southern Texas, has recently taken
place, but which seems to have attracted but
little attention. It is the opening of a route
from the gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean
via the Sunset railway. The first car from
New Orleans passed through this city on the
oOth of January for San Francisco. "It was a
proud moment for Colonel T. W. Peirce when,
on Friday morning, February 2, he stood 011
the platform of his road in this city and saw
the first through passouger and express train
roll hi from the far distant city of San Fran-
cisco. Two «iays later a through freight train
passed eastward, laden with wine and wheat
from the golden coast.
In 1SJ7, Mr. Peirce, then a mere lad. was in
Western Texas, and even then conceived the
project of connecting the gulf of Mexico with
the Pacific ocean by rail. Thirty years
whea General Sidney Sherman commenc v*ie
construction of the B. B., B. and C'jMSd.
Mr. Peirce wa% the first to give bun ciffoui -
agement and the means to inaugurate the
grand enterprise. He then remonstratep against
selecting Harrisburg as the initial point, but
yielded to the earnest entreaties of Sherman,
who wished to build up a large commercial
cit^ at that place. Mr. Peirce insisted that
Houston, whatever might be its disadvantages
as a shipping point, had the capital and enter-
prise and that the road must ultimately go
there as it did,after General S's death. Iu 1*54-5
this correspondent was called, in the discharge
of ministerial duties, to pay quarterly visits to
Houston and Galveston. He then lived on the
Colorado, and he often traveled on this road.
He remembers, ou one occasion, getting ou a
mail hack at daylight in Houston, and going
down to take the cars to Walker's station, a
colored fireman furnished the steaiu: and Mr.
Stump, the road master, was conductor, bag-
gage master and engineer. The writer. a<lead-
head by the favor of Mr. Harris, superinten-
dent. was the sole occupant of the passenger
coach; 011 several trips in these years, there
were but two or thre? passengers. Such was
railroading less than thirty years ago.
Most railroads have been built by syndicates:
but this road has been pushed from Buffalo
Kiyou to the Rio Grande by the enterprise of
Mr. Peirce. cordially assisted by Colonel H. B.
\ndrews aud Major James Converse. To these
jentlemen Texas owes a large debt of grati-
tude. No wonder Colonel Peirce felt an hon-
est pride when he saw the trains running the
entire distance from the gulf of Mexico to the
far-distant Pacific, passing through our city.
The division of the road presided over by
'olouel Peirce now touches the Rio Grande at
three points— at Eagle Pass, where a bridge
has just l»een completed, and where Major
Converse is rapidly building a section down
into Mexico: at Del Rio and at El Paso, whore
connections are formed with several roads
cers. The germ an is danced still in private
assemblages, but never at large balls.
A new round dance in some vogue in parlors
is called the Russe and partakes of the charac-
ter of galop and mazourka combined. There
is also a square dance called the National
Guard, conqiosed of squares and circles of a
somewhat military character. The Polo qua-
drille. with its rapid all-hands round, proved
too much of a circus to please women ami has
gone pretty nearly out of fashion. Variations
of the polka are frequently seen aud the old-
fashioned Virginia reel is extensively revived.

Springs sheep ranch) for the sum of S2S.OOO,
which includes one of the finest flocks of sheep
in West Texas and one of the best sheep
ranches and all fixtures.
San -Antonio Evening Light: Great, loss of
cattle and skeep is expected. A San, Antonian

rej iorted that 500 sheep were frozen to death at
Mr. Wilson's ranch, and nearly 200 head of
sheep killed ar a neighboring rxneh. It is said
that goats were frozen also.

and brought out with great force Mr. Hawley's
views) appears in the report. An address by
a representative of workingmen was totally
ignored. By far the more important evi-
dence came" in the shape of communications.
\ ery few of those are published. Secretary
Porter would pick out some for incorporation
in his report. The bulk were consigned to the
oblivion of the files or waste baskets. Assist
ant Secretary French spent several days with
the commission. He fished for an invitation to
give his views on the general tariff question.
It was very hot in Washington, and he had
the same desire that the commission had to
disport iu the billows and drink in health
giving breezes from the ocean. His evidence
was taken by installments. It was in the na-
ture of a philosophical disquisition and seemed
to make a good impression. This impres-
sion remained long after Mr. French had
gone. Ouo of the New York custom officials
criticised certain statements of the assistant
secretary of the treasury, and bluntly said that
the geutleman knew nothing: of the subject.
The stenographer was ordered to strike out the
remark, and witness was reminded that he
was making disrespectful allusions. Nothing
daunted, the customs official repeated his
opinion, but never a word thereof appears in
the report. Many other strange things were
done by this highfalutin', dickering body. The
clerks had practically nothing to do at Long
Branch, but Mr. Porter gave out a journal to
l>e kept by a lady in New York. She charged
$5 a day" for her services. A bill of was
rendered for entering the minutes of twenty
sessions, and was paid.
Bismarck's Melancholy.
[The Hour.]
Generally speaking. Prince Bismarck is in-
different to the world's opinion of him. But
he has moments when his heart softens, and
when a melancholy overcomes him, and for the
time destroys the elasticity of liis spirit. He
then complains of having fought iu vain, of
having failed in almost everything. One
autumn evening in 1677 he was sitting by the
fireside iu a room adjoining the green-house of
Yarziu, and complained bitterly that his i»o-
litical career had given liim no pleasure aud
no satisfaction. "There is no man who loves
me for it,*' he said. It does not make me
popular. I have never made any one happy
in all my life, neither myself, nor mv family,
nor the nation at large."' His friends protested
against this accusation, but he persisted in
saying that the numbers he had made unhappy
by fur exceed those that he had made happy.
'• If it were not for me," be said, "the world
would have seen three great wars less, and SO,-
000 who died in their biooin might have lived,
and how many parents, brothers, sisters,
widows, would have been spared their grief
and tears!n
Bismarck is a!-o a little superstitions some-
times. Ke will not have a battle whi'J»ls as
yet undecided sj»oken of as if it were won. He
will not sit down to dinner if there ore thirteen.
When General Boyer c-aire to him to negotia;e
in the name of Bazaine. Bispsarck would not
resolve anything of importance because it was
the 14th of October, the date of Hochkirch and
Jena. Then he dislikes Friday, will not start
011 a Friday, nor sign any important document
011 that day of the week. When he w a* offered
the title of count be hesitated before accepting
it, because many families in Pouierania.whom
it had l>cen conferred upon, had died out in a
shoit time. "The little country can't afford
counts," he said. On the 23d November, 15*70,
he was speaking of bis own death, and said
that I10 knew when it would happen—the day
of the month, year and all. His friends cried
out that he nuist be mistaken, but he only said,
"No, I know—it is a mystical figure." Seven
years afterward he repeated the same date,but
added, *' God's will be doue. however, in ail
things!" To oue of his ministers, who had ap-
jeared with his hair cut, he remarked: " You
aave cut your hair in good time: the moon is
growing, aud that is the right ti:ne for cutting
hair and trees. Scientific people do not believe
in the influence of the moou, but I do, aud 1
feel I am right."
John G. Wfiittier says that he is still one
of those who hope that the dreadful evil of in-
temperance may checked, and finally al»o!-
ished, by legislative action. He believes in the
right and duty cf the community to protect it-
seif by legal enactments whenever there is a
public sentiment strong enough to enforce the
prohibition of the liquor traffic. "I desj»air
of any direct assistance from politicians/' he
writes, "but the great majority of the indi-
viduals composing these parties have a moral
sense that may be awakeued into action by pre-
cept and example.'1 Looking at the drinking
habits of New Englanders sixty years ago, and
at the general temperance among them at the
present day, he sses reason for tne greatest en-
couragement.
according to a statement in The News Sep-
tember aunual for 16S2, there were al>out 15o0
miles of railroad completed and put in opera-
tion in Texas. Then the legislature passed
the three eents per mile passenger bill. How
many miles have been built since.' and how
many new lines are cow being constructed?
Capital is proverbially cautious and will rarely
venture large investments where legislative
interference is liable to render those invest-
ments unprofitable. 11. s. t. 1

Madison vili.e, February 7, 1SS3.—On last
Saturday morning, the 3d instant, a very se-
vere norther appeared, and before night the
weather was terribly cold. Snow and sleet
continued to fall during the day, and Satur-
day night was, perhaps, the most severe night
upon unsheltered stock that has been wit-
nessed during the whole winter, which, taken
altogether, has been a very cold, disagreeable
and severe winter. On Saturday night, a gen-
tleman who had been purchasing a little bunch
of cattle, penued them in a lot in the suburbs
of our town, aud ou that mght two of the
number froze hard, stiff and dead be-
fore morning. Our people will doubt-
less lose much stock during this cold snap.
The weather has continued cold and very dis-
agreeable during the week. The snow which
had fallen, froze, and became sleek and difficult
to walk upon. The pedestrian who did not fall
ouce or twice in walking forty yards, was re-
garded as an expert. On yesterday the snow
melted just a little, but on last night there
came up another norther, and it is cold and
disagreeable to-day, the ground covered with
snow aud sleet. There is, however, a hope
entertained that the weather will moderate in
the course of a few days. Old Sol put in an
appearance for a short time this afternoon,
but then a cold north wind continues to blow.
On Monday morning last Justice Morriss
convened his court, and Colonel J. F. Ran
dolph, our efficient county attorney, proceeded
to try those charged with having committed
misdemeanors pretty freely. There were some
seven or eight convictions during the term,
upon charges of unlawfully carrying pistols,
and imbibing too much of the '' oil of glad-
ness."
Elder Carrington. who has been preaching
at this place during the last ten days, is still
with us, but only preaches at liight'to a small
number of zealous members of his church, with
a small sprinkle from the world. He will leave
for the city of Austin to-morrow morning.
Elder Carrington is a man of a high order of
intellect, a fine speaker and very ripe scholar.
The cotton-picking business es aliout played
out in our county. I think that those who have
cotton yet standing in their fields have aban-
doned the idea of trying to save another pound
of the staple. The fact is the}-will be compelled
to abandon the cotton now unpicked, or lose a
crop the conling summer.
Some corn-fed pork still continues to appear
upon the market.
The great trouble with the citizens of our
town is to procure wood for fuel, and if the
weather continues so inclement the price of
wood will advance very much. Observer.
