An Explanatory Editor.
The editor of the Daily Slungg/wt
was so bothered by people who de-
sired to have corrections and expla-
nations made in the paper, that he
hired a man to edit that department
exclusively. When a man called to
have it stated that " the John Smith
who was mentioned in our last issue
as having been convicted of stealing
a head stall of a blind mule, was nuc
Hmith the barber," he turned him
right over to his new editor, thereby
saving himself much trouble. This
plan worked very well until the edi
tor of the explanatory department
took it into his head to spread him-
self.
There was a sameness about his
notices that he thought might be agree-
ably relieved by allowing his fancy a
little play, as it were. Instead of
making those corrections interesting
only to Smith and his more intimate
friends, it occurred to him that they
might be rendered attractive to the
general reader. lie thought he had
discovered a new field for brilliant
journalism, and he determined to work
it to the best of his ability, hoping to
distinguish himself thereby.
The next morning the readers of the
Jhiily Ulungtfujt found the following
exhilarating paragraphs scattered like
pearls through the editorial columns:
Not tiib Max.—The name of u. No
appeared in our police report yester-
day charged with stealing a baby
waiton. This is not Mr. U. No, our
well-known bridge tender. He would
not stoop to steal a baby wagon,
though it would not be safe to leave a
circus chariot or a freight train laying
around where he could put his hands
on it. U. No how it is yourself.
Coiirkction.—The Mr. Snoo/er ar-
rested for being drunk on the street is
not Snoozsr, the fish peddler. The
latter gets drunk in his own house,
believing that intoxication, like char-
ity, begins at home.
Honor to whom Honor, Etc.—The
wife of our well-known citizen, Slug-
ger, in the painting business, called
yesterday to have an explanation made.
She says the Slugger whom we men
tioned as having been arrested for
wife-whipping is not her Slugger. No
one would guspert that he was after
seeing Mrs. Slugger. She looks abun-
dantly aide to whip not only her Slug-
ger, but all the other Sluggers that
ever walked. We make the correction
all the more cheerfully from the fact
that .Mrs. Slugger is standing near us
at this moment with fist flashing and
eyes doubled up.
COMMERCIAL.
HALVES TON, TKXAS,
WbunkiDav Evkmino, August 26, 1874
Trade continues to show Bteady im
provenient, and it is evident that fall
business has begun. The Strand had a
goodly number of welcome visitors, in the
shape of dealers from the interior, who
made not inconsiderable purchases, and
the volume of orders received bj mail
and filled was large for the season.
The country i« bare of money, how-
ever, and purchases, beyond such as are
commanded by limited cash resources,
are restricted to essentials, to be paid for
in thirty to sixty days by produce, either
already en route to market or to very soon
be so. The uncertain crop aspect is also
a drag on trade, and interior merchants
as vat are timid and stocking up.
There has been little or no change of
values in our market to-day. Sales of
our leading staple were restricted to 135
bales. Keceipts to day were 201 bales—
not up to the mark of yesterday—but still
very fair. Current receipts are almost
entirely new cotton, showing how ef-
fectually the country has been drained
of old crop at the wind-up of the season
A dispatch from Messrs. Alexander &
Aron, of McKinney, Collin county, to
Focke, Wilkens & Co.,of this city, Bays:
"We ship you, through Messrs. Henry
& Benge, the first bale of new cotton
from this place and county, weighing 510
pounds, and costing 19£c."
It is an agreeable sight to see "first
bales" coming hither from that section
and it is to be hoped that last bales will
follow suit, and also all the intermediate
ones. This section is "now the battle
ground of three contending cotton mar-
kets, and a fourth one (Memphis) seems
disposed to enter the list.
Should our city lose this trade it will
be through the culpable neglect of our
business men and our trade orgaiya
tions. It would, beyond doubt, graviTtite
to us, its natural market, unless deflected
elsewhere. But such deflection is now
being attempted—systematically and as-
siduously—without stint of labor or
money.
If onr people are willing to see this
lucrative traffic wrested from them, all
they will have to do will be to rest on
their oars and trust to natural advan-
tages. Water ran be made to rnn up
hill, and can be kept so running.
It is said that in every village through-
out this neutral ground of Northern
Texas there will be found ten drummers
from other markets to one from Galves-
ton, and that many sections have never
been explored at all by our peripatetic
solicitors.
Again, it is stated that combinations
are now being organized with a view to
diverting our trade from us through dis-
criminating railroad tariffs, more unjust
than any heretofore complained of, and if
consummated, more pregnant with ill. It
behooves our community to be vigilant
in the protection and furtherance of our
interests thus vigorously assailed. Com-
merce does not come unwoed. Unless
we can afford to play the suitor to the
capricious jade, we may as well make up
our minds to forego her charms alto-
gether.

Philosophy or Feod.
The secret of <lict adapted to the
human constitution is to be found in a
due variety.
We must not restrict ourselves to a
few articles of food, but must have a
great variety of foods to select from;
we must not partake of the same fare
day after day, but must_vary it as
much as possible. Only with a varied
anil alternating dietary can we be sure
that what, is lacking in one food-stuff
will be supplied in another, and that
what we lail to get to-day we shall
have to-morrow. What is commonly
regarded as simply the result of a
spoilt palate, viz., the repugnance ex-
cited by the steady recurrence of the
same dish, is an uprising of the organ-
ism itself against a food which does
not meet its requirements: or, rather,
the conscipience of a deficiency alroadv
established.
Here we have an important rule for
determining a wholesome diet. The
foods we use must contain the indis-
pensable elements of nutrition in due
proportion ; our food must be mixed,
varied and alternating. And what is
here said with regard to individuals,
holds good also for nations. The food-
stuffs of an energetic population arc up
to the standard only when they are
multifariously blended, and when there
is a due proportion of substances be-
longing to the three groups mentioned
above. Now, this relation between
the nutrition and the physical and
mental development of a people must
be apparent in the history of their civ-
ilization. Where the food is insuffi-
cient, fluctuating between want and
excess, uniform and undiversified, the
capacity of the people for work must
be inferior; their bodily strength and
their mental culture must be of a low
grade.

The Boston Board of Health thinks
that the sprinkling and sweeping of
streets should all be done at night, and
that the water used for sprinkling
should be treated with a cheap but
effective disinfectant. One sprinkling
at night, they say, would be as good
as two during the day. At night,
when the pavement is cool, the water
lies long enough to penetrate and
moisten the surface, whereas in the day
time the pavements are hot and the
earth dry, so that the water simply
touches the top and quickly trickles
over into the gutters, or is rapidly
con verted into a disagreeable steam or
vapor, ufter its partial union with the
tilth of the street. Besides all this,
the streets during the night arc vacated,
and there is nothing to interrupt the
workmen.

. ..Idg, Aug 21
The Indianapolis Journal publishes
a letter giving an interesting sketch of
former legislation on the temperance
question. It is surprising to learn
that a law was passed in that State as
early as 1832, prohibiting the issue of
any license to sell liquor, except by
permission of a majority of the free-
holders in the town or township where
the license was sought. This law was
in force twenty years, and was then
succeeded by one even more stringent,
and passed by a Democratic Legisla-
ture.
^ OTICE TO CITY TAX PAYERS.
