A GOOD I>AY>S WORK.
Galveston In the Progressive March—
The School Tax Carried—Trustees
Ejected—Division without Opposition
—Tyler the Favorite fbr the I«aiii
Branch—Galveston for the Medical
College.
There was not that degree of enthusiasm
manifested in the election yesterday
that there would have been had
personal issues or individual questions
of preference or prejudice intermingled
in the issue. There was no life in the affair.
Beyond the occasional passage from poll to
poll of a hack bearing- the streamer of the
Medical College Committee, or now and th en
a pa.-sing question to the reporter, 44 Sow's
she going?" one would never have known
a great election was in progress.
Bets were freelv offered that the
vote would not reach 1000, and equally rapidly
were wagers offered that Waco, Caddo Grove
and Thorp Springs would not have representa-
tion in the ballot-boxes. At the outset it
seemed apparent that the tide of popular favor
was turned toward Tyler for the literary
branch, and though Lampasas had a num-
ber of warm and devoted friends, *vho did all
they could in behalf of that gallant place,
division was from the beginning a foregone
conclusion and the main effort, of course,
turned to get as many votes as possible on the
record for Galveston.
The school question was a separate issue and
formed a fight peculiarly its own. True to
their previous tactics, the opponents of
the tax fought under cover the
whole day through. In only one instance
did the friends of the movement get an oppor-
tunity to fire a broadside at the anti-tax men,
and that was in an unnamed ward, where a
brawny Irishman was the medium through
which hot shot was poured upon the devoted
head of one of the " sovereigns." Paddy went
so far as to compliment the sov. by telling him
that''he was the most enterprising and pro-
gressive citizen in Galveston, be Jasus, so long
as himself waz concerned."
The election was remarkably quiet, and the
city was intensely dull in consequence. All
the saloons except one were closed, and the
streets were in a measure it seemed^ even
stripped of their usual number of intermingled
loungers and busy-bodies.
The vote given below tells the story of the
day's struggle. It is given by wards:

Presentation.
Mr. Julius Runge, who returned from New
"York night before last, met the directory of
the First National Bank, of which he is presi-
dent, at noon yesterday on business connected
with that institution/ After the conference
was ended Mr. Runge was assaulted by
Mr. M. Lasker, who, in the name of the
directory, presented to Mr. Runge an elegant
silver service as an evidence of their high
opinion of his sterling qualities as an officer of
the bank and as a gentleman. The event was
a surprise to Mr. Runge, but none the less was
it appreciated. It was a pleasant occasion,
enjoyed by the donors of the superb gift as
well as by its recipient.
Fire.
About 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning box
42, corner of L and Thirtieth streets, sounded
an alarm of fire, in response to which the de-
partment made a prompt appearance. It was
discovered that the tire had broken out in a
grocery on the corner of Twenty-ninth and L,
kept by a colored man named Van Da\ is, and
extending to another small house adjoining,
both were destroyed. The loss on houses and
froceries will amount, it is said, to about
1500, upon which there was a small insurance.
The property was owned by Mrs. Bonnot, who
resides in the neighborhood. The fire was sup-'
posed to have been the work of an incendiary.
The smouldering embers and occasional sparks
from the burning districts attracted a small
crowd through the whole day to the scene of
destruction.
Stray Notes.
About half past 7 o'clock yesterday morning
Mr. George Doll's team ran away from Post-
office and Twentieth, going as far as L. & H.
Blum's store, where it collided with the side-
•walk, which brought it to a prompt standstill.
The City Collector took in something near
$5000 yesterday.
A brig, name unknown, came up into the
offing late yesterday evening. Sho appeared
from shore to have lost her maintopmast and
to have otherwise suffered from a recent en-
counter with the storm king.
In The News, a short time since, it was
stated that Mr. M. Kopperl was in New York
for the purpose of selling city bonds. Mr. K.
writes to correct this, saying that he has not
been in New York this year. Ho is now at
Hiddletown Springs, Vermont, for the benefit
of his health.

hanging down, and I supposed him to be asleep,
but when I tried to awaken him I could not by

Messrs. Sinclair and Mercer having received
tho highest number of votes, will be declared
members of the Board of Trustees.
After the close of the polls quite a number
of prominent gentlemen called, and remained
at The News office until the whole result had
been gathered by the reporters for the paper.
When the figures were cast up, and the school
tax was found to havo been carried, there was
a general jubilation. Mayor •Fisher said:
" It's the best thing that ever happened
for the town. I'll sleep soundly to night."
Frank McMahan responded; "We carried it
by main strength and awkwardness*, Pm going
home." Dr. Ilse said: 44Its good enough for
one day." Tom Gilbert remarked: " I'm
ready to assess the tax." Jack McCormack
declared that "we don't sometimes always
rely on natural advantages anyhow, do we:"
and the whole News staff felt like they would
very gladly join in a general celebration.
\ erily it is a good day's work, of which the
live, progressive people of Galveston may be
proud.
The City Bonds.
A representative of The News called on Mr.
George Sealy yesterday to learn if possible
something about the prospects of placing the
5 per cent, bonds, Mr. Sealy was reticent, de-
clining to express his views on the subject.
All that could be got from him was that
the city has no one in New York authorized to
make or accept a bid, and a hint that the ap-
pointment of such a representative would per-
haps enable reliable information to be ob-
tained, quicker than by any other method.

An Unorganized Class.
tTo The News.1
Owing to the increased costs of subsistence,
the prices paid to all classes of labor have re-
cently been increased about 25 per cent, on an
average. Wherever organization existed among
the laborers the concession was readily made
by employers, granting to them the wages
they demanded. But among the clerks and
book-keepers there is a sort of silent feeling ex-
isting that they can not participate in the
benefits of the flush times unless their employ-
ers voluntarily increase their salaries. The
average prices paid for clerk hire are from
$80 to $100 per month. A great many*
men so- engaged have families to sup-
port, and, as the rent rates, the
cost of wood, coal, clothing, and provisions
generally, have gone up, they find it difficult,
in many instances, to make the salaries that
prevailed two years ago meet the essential
family expenses that must be incurred at the
present prices. They are not organized, and,
consequently, can not strike in a body for
wages; and* appreciating fully the fact that
individual action would simply mean indi-
vidual disappointment, their only hope, in
many instances, to get through the winter and
find themselves free of debt with the opening
of the coming spring, is dependent entirely
upon the generosity and lib eralitv of their
employers. M.

gums, reduces inflammation and allays all pain,
thereby giving rest to the child and comfort to the
mother. Twenty-five cents a bottle.

London, September 6.—The Morning Post pub-
lishes the following sensational item: We are as-
sured that M. Roustan, the French Minister at
Tunis, has arrived at Paris to inform his govern-
ment that the Bey is undoubtedly supporting the
rebels; that he has received orders from Constan-
tinople to encourage and aid with all the means in
his power a general insurrection, an:l that unless
Tunis is occupied and the Bey deposed it will lie
utterly impossible for the French to act with any
probability of success. We receive this informa-
tion from a most trustworthy source."
Reassurances as to Algeria and Tunis.
Paris, September 6.—The newspaper Le Pays |
stares that Genei al Farre, Minister of War, has ex-
plained to the Cabinet Council the situation in Al-
geria and Tunis, and proved that French interests
are not threatened. The French, he said, would
not assume the aggressive before October, until the
occupation of the principal points of the Tunisian
littoral by detachments of troops, supported
by gunboats, ami the presence of flying columns iu
the southwest. Oran would be sufficient to keep the
natives in check. General Farre added that there
could be no decisive action before autumn, on ac-
count of • typhoid fever, t rom which the troops in
Algeria are now suffering.
Irish Election Ulatters. 1
London, September 6.—A correspondent of tho
Times at Armagh county, Ireland, says: It is ex-
pected here that Bishop Nuity's letter to Parnell
will have a powerful effect cui the Parliamentary
election in favor of Rev. Harold Rylett, Unitarian
minister. The energy of the Parnellites is very
great; their efforts are incessant. It seems highly
improbable that Dickinson (Liberal) will win his
sear, which, owing to the Land League's inter-
ference, will probably fall to Colonel Knox, the
Conservative candidate.

NEW MEXICO.
The Black Ranee Mining District.
[Correspondence of The News.]
Silver City, N. M., August 18, 1881.-
There is not in New Mexico to-day a mining
district that is drawing so much general atten-
tion from all parts of the United States as the
Black Range, and, although visited by your
correspondent under the most favorable cir-
cumstances, owing to the rainy season having
just commenced, yet many items of interest
were gleaned, and many of the best mines in-
spected, some description of which will prove
not uninteresting to the readers of Tiie
News.
The Black Range is certainly one of the
most beautiful places in New Mexico, it is
kind of Beulah, or promised land. Under the
influence of the late heavy, though refreshing
rains, the mountains are covored with ver-
dure, and the very cattle that browse upon,
them seem to rejoice and grow fatter daily.
This splendid country is now easy of access by
stage line from Engle, a small station on tho
Atchison and Topeka Railroad, about
fifty miles north of Doming. The sun
was shining brightly and it was
hot, the morning we left, with ten others, in
Ivarns and McConkey's comfortable six-horse
coach, feeling an additional sense of security
from th« very fact that both these gentlemen
were on the roof. They have obtained quite a
notoriet}' from the fact that they never "throw

Fishing Party.
The fishing party which went to Morgan's
Point on Saturday returned this morning. The
party had a very pleasant and successful trip.
The tug Justine, which carried the party, in
returning last night ran on a sunken llatboat
off Harrisburg, and tho force of the collision
broke one of the steam pipes, allowing the
steam to escape, and scalding the engineer,
Harry Roscoe, very badlv. W ith this excep-
tion, no accident or unpleasantness occurred
to mar the pleasure of the trip. Mr. Albert
Erichson, one of the party, won the thanks
and esteem of tho ladies of Lynchburg by
shooting an alligator, which had been depre-
dating on the ducks and chickens of the neigh-
borhood for some time past. As an evidence
of their appreciation, the ladies presented Mr.
Erichson with an elaborate medal for his
valor and services.
Killed by Lightning.
On Thursday last Mrs. Sam Thomas, an
old lady residing at Clear Creek, was struck
by lightning and instantly killed. She was
seated on a trunk by a window when the
lightning struck the window, filling her face
and body full of splinters of broken glass.
When found she was in a sitting posture and
lifeless.

Commercial Treaties with Mexico.
IFrom the New York Herald. 1
The Mexican Republic now proposes to enter
into treaties of a commercial nature. This is
the first practical step that has been taken to-
ward the international recognition of the Re-
public since the fall of the Emperor Maximil-
ian. Our Mexican friends will find every dis-
position on tho part of other nations' to pro-
mote cordial commercial and political rela-
tions with the government of the Republic.
There is no doubt that the influence of treaties
conceived in a generous and liberal spirit be-
tween Mexico and the great commercial pow-
ers will redound to the material advantage of
the country. We trust that in any ques-
tion of commercial treaty between the
United States and Mexico the question
of reciprocity will be kept prominently in
mind. It would be wise, considering the
movement of railroads and national improve-
ments toward Mexico, to have a cotmnerciai
treaty on tho basis of the German Zollvereiu.
It would be to the advantage of Mexico and
a great deal to our advantage if wo could
agree upon some common trade system. It is
■ possible that the European nations would ob-
ject to a special treaty between Mexico and
tho United'States and insist upon the "favored
nation" clause. But we have carried the
point of reciprocal treaties with the Sandwich
Islands, and there is no reason why we should
surrender it at the command of European na-
tions in dealing with Mexico. There is every
reason why reciprocity should govern tho com
mercial relations between the United States
and the other nations on the American con
tinent.
SHEEJ* AND WOOL.
According to the San Lorenzo (N. M.) Chron-
icle, a verv largo number of sheep have been
sold and driven out of New Mexico this year,
and especially from the Red River country.
Since October last it appears that over 40,01/0
head were sold to Colorado and Kansas parties,
besides bunches of from 100 to 200 to city
butchers, and hundreds butchered for home
consumption.
A Mrs. Griggs, of Hamilton, Ohio, was
poisoned by the use of an 4'anti-fat com-
pound" and died.
sisted on voting for Dickinson, the consequence
would be the return of Knox.
The Times is Severe on Parnell.
London, August 6.—The Times in a leading ar-
ticle says whether Parnell wins or loses the game
in Tyrone and Monaghan, he will be satisfied if he
vindicates the title of the league to be still regarded
as a living and vigorous organization, and especial-
ly by its sympathizers in America. The same ad-
vantages might be secured by a continuance and
multiplication of outrages.
It is certain that the league will abandon its policy
without a struggle.
Anti-Jewish Disorders.
London, Sept-ember 6.—The assertion relative to
anti-Jewish disorders in the interior of Russia,
that they are not the work of socialists, is from
the nihilist journal, the Will of the People, which
also makes known for the first time the name of
the man who threw the bomb which caused the
death of the Czar. He was named Grenevisttky.
Gambetta's Popularity.
Paris, September 6.—Accounts from provinces
show that 51. Gambetta, after his speech at New-
bourg. was received by crowds of sympathizers at
all railway stations en route to Honfleur, the peo-
ple even assembling along the line of the railway.
To Give tho Land Act a Trial.
London, September 6.—The total number of sus-
pected persons now imprisoned in Ireland is 175.
There is reason to believe that tenants in the North
of Ireland and other parts of the country arc pre-
paring to give the Land bill a fair trial.
Anti-Jewish Kiots.
Berlin, September 6.—Serious anti-Jewish riots
occurred a: Stopl, Pomerania, on Sunday last. Tho
rioters threatened to storm Jewish houses, and
troops charged the mob, woundingsixteenpersons,
several severely.
POLITICAL POINTS.
Editorial Expressions From Leading
Papers.
[Chicago Tribune.]
Lawyer Martin I. Townsend charged the
government $750 for his few hours attendance
at the Whittaker court-martial, although he is
paid a salary as District-Attorney. The ther-
mometer is pretty low when Mr. Townsend
gets left.

The New York Herald is still in pursuit of
its peculiar patent, the " not a fool" theory of
Mr. Conkling and Mr. Arthur. That such a
theory has to be publicly urged at this date in
the lives of these two men is the very point
where it breaks down. "When the Herald has
sufficiently re-established the political compos
mentis of Mr. Conkling, we think one T. C.
Piatt would be grateful for a slight service in
that line.

There Is, of course, no logical connection
between the case of Lieutenant Flipper and
that of Cadet Whittaker; each stands on its
own merits; yet a general inference with re-
gard to- the value of colored youth as army
officers is one of the first reflections that will
come into most minds. Here are three colored
cadets tried at We^t Point. Smith fails to
pass his examinations; Whittaker is court-
martialed for alleged trickery of a very despi-
cable sort; and now the one of the three who
succeeded in getting into the army is awaiting
trial for peculation of funds. All this does not
yet justify a generalization, but it makes a
most unfortunate train of circumstances as
connected with the effort to introduce colored
lads into the commissioned offices of the army.
More is the pity that Lieut. Flipper seems not
to have appreciated the great responsibility he
was under at all times, and especially at this
particular juncture, as a representative of his
race. The colored regiments have more than
once proved that they havo thorough soldiery
efficiency, and, in the matter of comparative
freedom from desertions, their record is espe-
cially honorable. But this can not alter the
facts in the case of Lieutenant Flipper, nor
mitigate the disgrace which will fall upon him
should ne be proved guilty.
[Pall Mall Gazette.]
Prince Bismarck's protectionist policy does
not appear to have had even a temporary suc-
cess in making the fatherland happy and con-
tented. On the contrary, the burden of it is
acting as one more stimulus to emigration.
The report of the Berlin Chamber of Com-
merce for the past year is emphatic in its con-
demnation of the new tariff at nearly every
point. It has not brought prosperity to Ger-
man industry or increased the consumption of
home manufactures, but it has suc-
ceeded in making bread dearer, in spread-
ing social discontent, and in keeping
the wages of the people low. Our brave
but unlucky band of protectionists at home
might study tho report, with advantage. " Fiye
shillings a quarter added as duty to the price
of wheat might do good rather than harm,"
more than one of the most eminently foolish
among t hem have lately asserted. No, it would
merely make life harder for the poor, curtail
the spending power of the less poor, and re-
strict the purchases of manufactures by all
classes. That would, of course, be nothing to
a country like England, which, according to
these prophets, is going straight to the dogs in
any case, but the poor Germans seem to find it
rather more ttym they can bear.

When Mr. Hathorn, of Saratoga, was a
member of Congress, he endeavored to im-
prove the shining hour. He owned a spring,
and he wanted our infant industry of water-
bottling protected by a paternal government.
But Congress, ready to go a great length,
was not willing wholly to gratify Mr. Ha-
thorn, spring-owner and M. C. It
would not prohibit the importation of
medicinal waters prepared in the laboratory
of nature, but it did place a duty upon arti-
ficial mineral waters. The makers of such
waters in this country, aided by the owners of
natural springs, are now complaining that arti-
ficial mineral waters are imported as natural
mineral waters to such au extent as to impair
and almost destroy tho trade of American
citizens in natural and manufactured min-
eral waters in this country. And the
spring men—emboldened no doubt by
the election of Wood-pulp Miller—
are now clamoring for protection; that is, they
want to compel the people of the United
States who use such waters to buy from them
at a great cost. But why is it that foreign
manufacturers can lay down their bottles in
this country, paying occan and inland freights,
cheaper than our home bottlers arc willing to
sell? Isn't it bocause the home bottlers are
making too pretty a profit out of their businessi
Wise Theatrical Animals.
[London Sporting News.]
The stories of intelligent dogs and horses
have reminded the stage manager of the Gaiety
Theater of some curious instances of percep-
tion which have occurred at Mr. Hoi lings-
head's house. Seme time p.go a donkey was in-
troduced into a musical piece. Every evening
the owner, an enterprising costermonger,
brought the animal to tho theater at a certain
time and left it at tho wing. When the actress
went on for her song the donkey accom-
panied her—not on any musical instru-
ment—and the melody being ended,
Neddy went with her away. One evening,
however, his master brought him earlier than
usual, and left him at the wing, apparently
wrapped in placid slumber. Every one sup-
posed that the creature would stay there quiet-
ly until he was taken on for the song, but it so
happened that the air of the ditty occured in
the introduction to the act. Tho donkey
pricked up his ears. Surely this was his
cue. He had seen enough of the theater
to know tho awkwardness of a stage
wait, and as his usual companion was
not there, ho determined to go on
alone. On he went and vigorously resented the
efforts of those whom he took to be bigger don-
keys than himself, who tried to drag him off.
W hen the melody was finished, in accordance
with custom he made his exit, and was hardly
persuaded to stay and go on iu the proper scene,
which no doubt ho regarded as an encore. The
companion story is of a pony. H
part in " Tho Grand Casimir," and when first
taken to the theater the stage manager asked
whether he had any tastes or peculiarities that
could be gratified. His master thought not, but
admitted that tho pony had a weakness for a
glass of beer. A pint of sound malt liquor w
kindly ordered, and a carpenter was charged
to give the pony a drink every evening. Dur-
ing the rehearsals the practice was observed,
and much appreciated by tho recipient, who
went about his duties in an affable and ]'
hearted way, entirely in keeping with the
spirit of the piece. On the first night of the
performance the pony stood at the wings wait-
ing to go on. Miss Farren took hold of his
bridle when he was wanted, but he stuck his
hoofs hard in the stage and absolut dy
refused to stir. Persuasion and force
were tried, and at last ho was thrust before
the footlights; but be simply declined to act,
and on the contrary, let but at the chorus
with both heels. Something was wrong, and
suddenly it occurred to the stage-manager to
ask whether the beer had been duly given ?
This was tho solution of the mystery. In the
hurry and excitement of a first*niglit the beer
had been forgotten. The tankard was hastily
provided, and when tho pony had been con-
vinced that it was an oversight, and not a
mean-spirited attempt to defraud him of his
dues, he absorbed the beer, and, trotting on to
the stage, did ail that was required of him.
cross the Rio Grande, at that time a foot deep,
and fifteen miles further the little town of
Cuchillo Nego is reached, where the coach
stopped to dinner. This is an old-fashioned
Mexican town, the houses of onostory,and built
of adobe. A small patch or two of corn
is raised by them, and a great quantity of
chili. How these people live has always been
a mystery to the writer, their principal occu-
pation seemingly being to hunt in the summer
the shady side of the house, and in the winter
the sunny, there to lounge and smoke the eter-
nal cigarette. After dinner a pleasant ride of
twenty-five miles, and Fairview, the first camp
in the Black Range, and headquarters of tho
stage line, is made. From this point passen-
gers to Chloride City and Grafton are trans-
ferred in lighter vehicles. The former being
the pioneer city of the range, there we made
our way. We found a genuine mining camp,
with a population of 300 people, and a hospita-
ble people, too, ever ready to extend the right
hand of fellowship to "a stranger. There
is not, I believe, a more open-bearted
liberal specimen of humanity in the world than
the rough but honest miner, and they teach
their wives to follow in their footsteps. " Come
in, stranger—make yourself at home; you are
welcome to what we've got; help yourself; no
ceremony in this shebang," is the salutation,
ai*l they mean exactly what they say. If you
follow the advice literally you come out all
right; if not, you will find yourself 11 left."
Chloride City is beautifully situated at the
mouth of Chloride creek, between low-lying
foot-hills, handsomely clothed with pinon, juni-
per and pine trees. The great drawback to the
Chloride district has been the ignorant obsti-
nacy displayed by the prospectors in holding
undeveloped claims at the price of developed
property. By this I mean a man will
Lro to work, take up a piece of
land, sink a hole ten feet, find mineral, and
then stop Avork, imagining himself a mil-
lionaire, and ask capitalists for such a piece of
property hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For such investment as this the dav has long
gone by; mining has resolved itself into a le-
gitimate business, and the man who under-
stands it wants to see the value of his outlay
in pay mineral or some assurance that it is
there, and the vein will not plav out on him
before he pays out his cash. Although this
district was settled a year ago, for the reason
above stated its progress, which, owing to the
immense ledges and rich assays obtained from
surface croppings, would have been emi-
nently rapid, has been greatly re-
tarded. Tho inducements to capitalists
to invest and develop this rich
country are at least as promising, if not more
so than in any camp in New Mexico. How-
ever, I will say that the prospectors are now
realizing the folly of their own policy, and are
willing to sell at reasonable figures. Tho re-
sult has been that within tho last few weeks
much property has changed hands, and a
blighter aspect of affairs is dawning. The
Wall street mines, Nos. 1 and 2, are considered
to be among the best in the Chloride district.
These were located by Mr. McConkey, October
1, 1SS0, and afterward sold by him. No. X is
in litigation owing to some dispute as regards
title. Wall street No. 2 is owned by Williams
& Field. It has a forty foot tunnel and fifty
foot shaft. The vein averages about
three feet in width, showing chlorides of
silver and horn silver; the first
assay from the surface croppings gave tho
large return of $193 of silver to the ton; at
this time it far exceeds this amount, and is
one of the bonanzas of the camp. Tho
Dreadnaught on Mineral Creek, owned by
J. N. Smith and others, is another famous
claim, and the first -location on the Dread-
naught lode, which can be traced for eight
miles. A shaft has been sunk which struck
vein of solid mineral five feet in width, well
defined and evidently a true fissure. It car-
ries 34 per cent, in copper, 240 ounces in silver
and a little gold to the "ton of ore: thirty tons
ar© now on th© dump. It can only be called at
present a prospect, but $25,000 have been re-
fused by its owners. Right here is a splendid
chance for investment. This lode is known
to be eight miles long. On the next claim, the
mineral widens to stwenty feet and is of the
same valitfe. It is called ,tho , El Paso, and r
owned by Karns & McConkey. The names of
other good mines in Chloride District is legion,
but as it would probably weary your readers
to follow me through them, I will go on to
mention tho new town of
fairview,
located on the head waters of the Cuchillo Ne-
gro Creek. It is the center of a large mining
district, and headquarters of the stage line.
The town site is in a large valle3r, abundantly
supplied with wood and water. * From its cen-
tral position, being the junction of all the
roads that run into the Black Range, it is
likely to become the largest town of the
whoie settlement. Mills and smelters will
also be erected here. There are several very
fine mines at this point. The mineral belt is
most extensive and can be traced for a distance
of thirty miles. At Grafton is the famous
Ivanhoe, so much talked of recently through
the connection with it of the eloquent infidel,
Colonel Bob Ingersoll, who visited it a few
days before the writer, and who owns a
large interest in it. When he came up from
the shaft he remarked, " any man who wants
more than is to be seen in that hole is a hog."
Words that from any other lips wop Id havo
been considered vulgar, but. it was a pretty
correct estimate of the real value of the mine.
The ore is peculiar, but immensely rich; in
character it is sulphurets of silver
containing nuggets of pure gold. Gold assays
have run as high as $20,000 to the ton. The
stock is high above par; in fact, I do not sup-
pose a dollar's worth could be had for love or
money. Tho main shaft is eighty feet deep,
and the tunnel 190 feet long; at the point
where the bottom of the shaft reaches the
tunnel the vein is fifteen feet in width. The
mine is fast being developed by a force of
twenty-eight men, working day and night.
A few such mines as the Ivannoe—that is,
provided it holds out—would change the stand-
ard of the coinage of the world.
New Mexico is generall3r believed to
be a very dry country, but had any
of the persons who make such an as-
sertion been in tho Black Range with
your correspondent, they would soon have
changed their tune. When it rains in this
country it is no ordinary rain. Creeks that
were little streams a few hours previously be-
come rivers, rivers become seas, and all flat
or bottom lands are turned into lakes of vast
expanse. * The cattle fly to the hills for safety,
water stands six to ten feet deep in the houses
in different parts of towns and villages, and in
some instances a badly built adobe building
melts like snow before a noonday sun. It was
this kind of a storm that overtook us in the
Black Range, and thus it happened that within
four days after we crossed it the Rio Grande
was a mile wide, and we were cut off from all
communication with the outside world.
The river not being navigable, boats are
things unknown. No stage made its appear-
ance for eight days. After waiting a week a
party of ten of us started in three wagons,
well armed, for hostile Indians were in the
jhborhood, for San Marcial, this depot, on
the Atchison and Topeka road, being .sixt3r
miles from the camp, and the only one that
can be reached without crossing the river. After
a rough and dangerous trip, in which on more
than one occasion the wagons floated, we made
it in three days. We sighted Indians once on
the San Mateo mountains, but they made no
lttack; it is always thus. They aro the most
cowardly of animals, never fighting unless
they have the advantage. A man rarely sees the
Indians that kill him; they lie in ambush await-
ing their prey like a blood-thirsty tiger in his
jungle. 1 do not believe there are more than
fifteen to twenty Apaches on the warpath to-
day. The troops can not exterminate them;
so it will be left to the miners and prospectors
to do so, aud I have the greatest faith that it
will only bo the work of a short time. Many
are arming themselves, and are now on tho
trail, and if they once come up with them they
will most assuredly, one and all, go to the
"happy hunting ground." This is the one
thing needful to make New ?»Iexico one of the
finest countries on the face of the globe, so
rich in mineral, so prolific in pasture, with its
even temperature and magnificent scenery. A
man who cannot bo contented here had better
shuffle off "this mortal coil" as quickly as
possible, for, take my word for it, ho will find
contentment nowhere on this side of the eter-
nal sleep. Chas. Stephenson.

Hesperian: The stock men have been fight-
ing fire valiantly this week, but notwithstand-
ing their utmost efforts the3' have not only lost
much of the grass on their ranges, but in some
instances a considerable amount of pasture
fencing. The atmosphere for several days
this week has been dense with the smoke from
prairie fires, which have been burning around
us in various directions. The sky at night has
been luminous with those in our vicinity... .A
little threo year old son of Mr.
Quigley, a contractor on. the Sunset
road, was thrown from an ambulance on last
Thursday by the horses running away. Dr.
Birmingham was called in, but the child died.
Notwithstanding the protracted drouth,
our little Leona River runs as clear and spark-
ling as ever, and we are told has increased in
volume gradually within the last month or
two. Nothing can excel the beauty of its water
nor surpass the cool shade afforded by the
lofty trees which adorn its winding course near
tho town, unless it is the Frio, the Sabinal or
the Nueces, in the canyons. Tho wells have
shown no sign of failure, and the water is ex-
cellent as well as abundant. Probably no town
in the State is better supplied than Uvalde with
this indispensible necessity.

Advocate: The sounds of the saw and ham-
mer are abroad in the land, every carpenter in
the city being employed Thunder and light-
ning, frequent showers and a lower tempera-
ture have characterized the past week The
streets have boon crowded with the fleecy sta-
ple all the week. This seems to be a most suc-
cessful season for planters in this county.
WOOD.
Mineola Monitor: Our merchants are re-
ceiving large stocks of fall and winter goods,
with the prospect of a better trade than our
city ever commanded before Business
houses are opening upon Broad street, on both
sides of Johnson. Everything moves right
along at lightning speed in our progressive
town Business is better in Mineola now than
it was ever before known at this season of the
year. Our merchants are all hard at woik
early and late. In spite of the threatened
hard times every one is striving and pushing
as if we were in the midst of a busy, prosper-
ous season. Eveiybody seems to be animated
and hopeful. There is an absence of that air
of dullness which prevails during depressing
seasons. There is a steady and increasing de-
mand for all kinds of labor and building ma-
terial.
Marvin and the Women.
[New York Times.]
Tho career of this remarkable man dispels
ono of the illusions of life. He has proved
that there are in the world many estimable
women who aro to be had for the asking.
Marvin is no Adonis, yet he has managed to
bag no less than eleven wives, every one of
whom, so far as known, is reputable, discreet,
and, while not pretending to be very affec-
tionate. is well fitted to make home happ3\
And 3'et there are multitudes of faint-hearted
youths going through life alone because they
are afraid of being refused b3' tho woman
upon whom the fond and speculative e3*e is
fixed. Marvin has proved that it is as easy to
be married as to borrow an umbrella; aseas3'
as to take a cold in the head. There are
women who hold themselves ve^ choice, but
there are a plenty of others who are ready to
accept tho first offer, t;and no questions
asked." _
Mahone, of Virginia, expects to have the
votes of 75.000 Republicans, white and black,
and 40,000 Readjlisters for his ticket, and thus
elect it by about 15,000 majority. On the
other hand, Major Daniel expects the votes of
i)5,000 Democrats, 5000 white Republicans ami
15,000 repentant Readjusters, which would
el ct him b3" abqfrt 25,000 majorit3'. The Lord

pointed. [Boston Post.

The Monument Completed.
[To the News.]
Galveston, September 3, 1881.—It Is finished.
The compact entered into by us on the San Jacinto
battle-ground, by the side of the lonely and lonar-
neelected grave of Benjamin R. Brigham, on tho
12th day of June. 1881, the decree then and there
registered, that the heroes who fell on the ever-
florious and memorable field of San Jacinto should
ave a monument, hws been executed.
The monument, with a beautiful and most sub-
stantial and durable wrought iron fence to inclose
it, are now done ami rendy to be placed in posiciou
at the battle ground. The cosr of each, to the last
dime, has been fully paid, including all expenses of
putting thepi UP in the most substantial
manner, the transportation of them from Galveston
to their final place on the battle-field, having been
generously furnished by the Houston Direct Navi-
gation Company. Now that this compact,voluntarily
eqtered into on our parf, has been so happily and
so satisfactorily carried out it only remains for us
to make the above final announcement, and to re-
turn our most sincere and heartfelt thanks to the
noble, the generous and patriotic people of Tesas,
who ;e co-operation has enabled us to accomplish
Ibis small, though grand and pleasing work. On
behalf of the friends of the noble and so long ncg-
lecte.l " imm'iriai nine," who fell at San Jacinto—
on behalf of tvery Texas veteran, on behalf of every
patriotic citizen of Texas—we hereby return
thanks to each and e very one who contributed
money to aid us in the work; for every kind word
of encouragement spoken, for every sympathetic
impulse which has shown itself througnout tho
State, we return our thanks. To the executive
committee who inaugurated and so success ully
managed the concert at the unveiling of the monu-
ment, our tliar ks are especiali>' returned. And
last, though not the least, we desire to re-
turn our thanks to the press of the city of
Galveston for the great assistance rendered us,
from the beginning to the completion of the enter-
prise. Without the facilities which the press fur-
nished us, so liberally and so freely, it would be
difficult if not impossible to estimate the amount
of correspondence, labor and time it would have
required to get a complete and perfectly correct
li-it of the names of the killed at San Jacinto—an
all-important and most desirable object, never
accomplished in all the forty-five years since the
battle was fought. It is a singular fact that, iu
none of the histories of Texas heretofore written,
has a correct list been given. The number killed
has been understood generally, during all these
years, to have been eight. Another singular fact
i», that scarcely any two of these histories have
given the same eight names. By the aid of the
press we fl-itter ourselves that we have at last been
able to place on the monument for the first time
a correct list. The east face of the monument was
•et apart for the names of the killed. To enable
us to get all the information possible, the inscrip-
tion on this face was delayed to the last day. The
description of the monument, with the inscriptions
on it, tnat has been published, was unfortunately
written by a News reporter, before the
names were placed upon it. Tiiis explanation is
made in response to the many inquiries already
made of us why the names as placed on the monu-
ment were not published. We therefore give you
below an exact copy of the inscription, as we
made it out, for the east front. For want of space
the four lines next after the names were left off.
It may be just as well, as they convey no knowl-
edge not obtainable from the balance of the in-
scription. as it now stands.
An exact copy of tho inscription on the east
front of the monument:
"This monument is placed at the grave of Ben-
jamin Rice Brii/ham, who fell at the battle of San
Jacinto, April :21st, lti3G.
"Eight others fe.l with him, whose remains rest
near his. Their names are as follows:
t4Lemuel Stocton Blakey,
Mat bias Cooper,
1 l.omas P. Fcwle,
J C. Hale,
Uccjge A. Lamb,
It. William m^tiey,
A R. Stevens
Ciwyn J. Trask,
Tccether they fought:
•J .aether they conquered;
Together they died;
legether they rest, side by side.
"This stone is placed hero to mark the spot where
these heroes slet-p, and to perpetuate a knowledge
of their names and deeds to coming generations,
by the voluntary contributions of private citizens
of Texas, 1981."
No words of ours can express the pleasure which
we feel in making this closing announcement, and
taking our leave of a task which has been so agree-
able and successful.
Nothing can add to that pleasure so much as the
hope that our humble efforts may in some degree
hasten the day when this great Stare shall do some-
thing to properly honor the memory of her noble
list of martyrs, whose blood wis so rreely shed for
her at the Alamo, at Goliad, at San Jacinto.

Uttder tho new cede of criminal procedure
in I>ew York any person who has been con-
victed of a felony or live times of a misde-
meanor may be adjudged an habitual criminal.
Thereafter he will be liable to arrest without a
warrant. A record of habitual criminals will
be kept and a certified copy of tho entries be
sent to the district attorney of each county in
tho State. The weak part of the article is the
room it gives for the discretion of the judge.
Unless required by law to do so it is probable
that few courts will direct the names of per-
sons convicted ©f crime to be entered in tho
record.

A Harbor in tlie Open (jlulf.
[From the New Orleans Democrat.]
Between the mouth of the Mississippi and
, , , , ,. . - , *i. , , i Galveston, about ten or fifteen miles to the
went about his duties in an affable and light- southwest of Sabine Pass, is a place in the
hearted wav. entirely in keemntr with tho I Gul£ o£ Moxieo which is commonly called the
Oil Ponds by the captains of the small craft
that ply in that locality. There is no land
within fifteen miles, and yet such is the effect
of the oil thus cast upon the waters by the
lavish hand of nature that even in the severest
storms the sea in the Oil Ponds is compara-
tively smooth, and so well is this known that
when the small vessels that trade between Cai
casieu. Orange, Sabine, Beaumont and Galves
ton fail to make a harbor at Galveston or Sa-
bine, they run off for the oil wells, let go their
anchors and ride out the gale in safety. The
oil covers the water in a thick scum, and ap-
paiently rises from the bed of the gulf, which,
at that point, is not more than fifteen or
eighteen feet below the surface. No one, we
believe, has ever attempted to strike oil in tho
gulf of Mexico, but it is not extravagant to
expect that some day capital and enterprise
will succeed in securing the oil which is now
wasted hi these wonderful ponds and placing
it on the market for sale. There is here a
chance for scientific investigation at least, and
it may be that the Caicasieu Oil Company,
formed several years ago, may find m the gulf
the oil they have not succeeded in discovering,
to any great extent, on land.
A story is told of a German shoemaker,
