THE_CITY.
St. John's Cliurch.
The cravat party which takes place to-night
at St. John's church promises to be an event
long to be remembered in society annals.
Xo Give a Picnic.
The Screwmen's Benevolent association will
give their first annual picnic on May 15 and 16,
at Schmidt's garden. Their organization dates
back to 1866.
Fonnd Open.
The produce store of P. A. Lang, on Twenty-
first street and avenue A, was found open
Tuesday night and the door closed and secured
by an officer.
Postponed.
The lecture which was to have been deliver-
ed by judge Gustave Cook before the Histri-
onic club to-night, at Casino hall, is postponed
until next Thursday night on account of the
illness of judge Cook.
Enabled to Work.
The lighter Nettle was yesterday enabled to
work for the first time in several days, the
water being smooth on the bar, and carried
out considerable cotton to the Nonantum,
■whose lading is not yet completed.
ArriTed.
The Thomas W. Holder, a three-masted
schooner, arrived yesterday from New York
« with a cargo of railroad iron consigned to the
Santa Fe railroad company, which will be
, used to push forward the extension at once.
To Sail To-day.
I The Mallory steamers Carondelet and Rio
Grande, will leave this morning at daylight
for New York, and as the Carondelet will be
unable to finish her loading at the wharf, she
will receive the balance of her cargo from the
lighters outside.
A. Broken Ankle.
Jack Hyer, one of the 'longshoremen attend-
ing the gangway en the upper deck of the Ca-
rondelet, fell a distance of thirty feet and
fcroke his ankle. The accident occurred at 9
o'clock yesterday morning. M r, Hver was
, eentgto the hospital.
Joseph Ciine'ff Injuries.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning Joseph Clice,
a 'longshoreman, working in the hold of the
steamship Carondelet, was seriously injured
by a boiler tube falling on him. It slipped
from a sling and struck Mr. Cline on the back,
inflicting a very painful injury.
Spoiled Meat.
Special officer Williamson reported on Tues-
day night that there had been two cases of
sausages landed from the steamer St. Mary,
which were in a badly spoiled condition. The
health officer of the city was promptly notified
and ordered the meat removed at once.
And Still Tbey Go.
Yesterday Mr. T. C. Ayres was united in
matrimony to Miss Louise Key baud by the
Rev. Father Van Lent, at the residence of the
bride's parents. After receiving the congratu-
lations of their friends the happy couple left
for Chicago on a bridal tour by the 2.10 p. m.
train.
Yaebt Owners.
Nearly all the owners of yachts have their
fleet little crafts in the water ready for the
balmv breezes that afford so much pleasure to
sailing parties during the summer season.
Some of the old favorites left their winter
quarters looking as bright and fresh as when
they were first launched.
Tbe Inca Figl*t. *
Capt. J. H. Henderson, of the tug Inca, says
that the difficulty between himself, John Du-
val and Frank Poole, last Monday afternoon,
was provoked by the latter two men. From
the captain's statement it appears that he acted
in self-defense, and he is anxious that the pub-
lic shal 1 not consider hiin a fighting man only
when he is assaulted.
A Grand Festival.
The News acknowledges receipt of tickets
to a grand festival, to be given at Temperance
kail this (Thursday) evening, by the members
of Eagle fire company No. 9. The committee
of arangements is as follows: Jos. Coustau,
president; J. H. Bee, secretary; John Davis,
foreman; J. H. Brown, vice president; Wm.
Deleston, treasurer; Robert Weggans and
Jack Williams.
An Unsavory Cistern.
The residents in the vicinity of Market
street, between 27th and 28th, are daily com-
plaining of the stench that arises from a brick
cistern which is close to the corner of 27th and
Market streets. This cistern is full of stag-
nant water and decaying- fnatter that keeps
the neighborhood in a very unsavory condi-
tion. It should at once have the attention of
the health officer.
He Used tbe Butt End.
At an early hour yesterday morning as a
darky known by the cognomen of Yankee
Bill was standing on Church street talking
with Lin Green's wife he was accosted by the
latter. Hard words followed between the
two. Green pulled his little gun and beat
Yankee Bill over the head with the same. He
handed the recorder $25 yesterday morning
with which to liquidate the privilege.
A New Manager.
Tremont opera-house, which has been adver-
tised for rent for some time past in the News
columns, was on Tuesday rented to Henry
Greenwall for the ensuing theatrical season.
Mr. Greenwall has been known here for years
past as an energetic and competent amuse-
ment caterer, and as he has the financial back-
ing of a large circle of leading citizens, there
can be no doubt that Galveston will be well
taken care of in the amusement way next
season.
he guest of her relative Capt. Geo. C. Rives,
at whose residence, on the corner of Fifteenth
street and avenue H, she will remain while in
Galveston. Miss Rives is a graduate of the
conservatory of music of Milan, Italy, and is
on her way home after having perfected her
musical education. It is believed that those
who belong to the musical profession, and per-
sons interested in affairs of this character, are
trying to prevail on Miss Rives to give a con-
cert before her departure for Falls county, her
present home. If she gives the concert, she
will be assisted by some of Galveston's best
musical talent ; and the fact that this lady be-
longs to Texas will surely cause all classes of
citizens to become interested in the event.
A Cutting Scrape Last Night.
There was an extensive row among the col-
ored brethren last night, about 10 o'clock, in
which a knife or a razor played a prominent
part. From information received, it seems
that Henry Mitchell was passing the Union
Baptist church, (colored) corner Strand and
Eleventh streets, about 10 o'clock, and stopped
for a chat with some of the 44 sistern " who
were watching the proceedings through
the window. To this, another negro by tne
name of Bill Allen, took exceptions, and after
some words Bill and his gang attempted to run
Henry off. In the melee that ensued
Bill went to carving and slashed
Henrv about the head. neck and
body" with some sharp instrument. Two
cuts, evidently intended for the ribs, just
missed their mark, cutting the clothes over
them very badly. Allen was taken in charge
by the police and lodged in the city jail to
answer to the charge of assault with intent to
murder, before the recorder this morning.
Last night, after writing out the names of
numerous witnesses who were wanted in the
case, the police clerk lay down his pen in dis-
gust, and told them to bring on the whole
church.
Along tbe Wharf.
The schooners Fannie, Capt. Johnson, and
Alice, Capt. Bergestrom, from Calcasieu, have
about completed discharging their cargoes of
lumber at Lufkin's wharf.
The schooner Mollie, of Calcasieu, has dis-
charged her lumber, and will leave when
winds are favorable.
The schooner Susana discharged a cargo of
lumber, and will leave to-day for Orange.
Capt. Jacob Hamert commands her.
Capt. Harry Lubin's schooner Annie Hanson
is discharging her freight, and will leave with
the fleet.
The Theophile, of Galveston, will leave to-
day for Lake Charles. Capt. Andrew Jack-
son commands her.
The three-masted schooner John Shay,
laden with bones, has completed her cargo, and
will sail for New York this morning. She is
commanded by Capt. Mason, who says the
bone business is becoming such a trade that
sufficient ships can not. be found to carry
them, most of the coast vessels being engaged
in the lumber business along the Florida coast.
The schooners James Andrew, Capt. McKay,
and Cecelia, Capt. Riley, left for Lake
Charles yesterday, notwithstanding prevailing
head winds, both carrying good cargoes of out-
ward freight.
The bark Schiller was towed in at 6 o'clock
yesterday evening.
There seems to be no visible decrease in the
business on the wharf, all kinds of heavy
freight being piled around in profusion from
one end of the landing to the other, while the
crews of the small craft are either busily en-
gaged in loading or unloading their vessels—
the predominating incoming freight being
lumber.
Tbe Union League.
The political organization known as the
Union league has been reorganized by some of
the influential colored politicians of Galveston.
The members of the league have grips, signs
and passwords, and guards are placed around
the ball during the hours of session. The
league was originally organized in 1869, and
was a political machine well known to all the
citizens of Galveston. It is said to have been
reorganized for the purpose of weeding out the
old political war-horses of the colored element.
Musical Entertainment.
A grand vocal and instrumental concert will
be given at the Tremont opera-house on Mon-
day next, under the auspices of the ladies of
the parochial society of Trinity church. A
number of the finest amateur artists in the
south will appear and the entertainment will
probably be the most brilliant musical feast
that has been presented this year. The pro-
ceeds will be applied to furnishing the Eaton
memorial chapel so as to open a school there
this fall. The programme will be given in
Saturday's and Sunday's News.
Tbe Condemned Bark.
The bark Concordia, thoroughly shorn of
her rigging, still occupies a berth at the west
end of Labadie's wharf. The sounds of ham-
mer and saw have not been heard on her
decks to note the commencement of needed re-
pairs. It is rumored that she will be sent to
the Balize, where she will be used for hospital
accommodations during the coming summer.
Workmen who have inspected the hull have
expressed themselves as satisfied that with
moderate repairs she could make many more
successful trips across the Atlantic.
Organ Recital.

gan recital to be given by Prof. Piicber this
afternoon, at Trinity church, commencing at
5 o'clock:

Whenever a boy thinks the bathing season
has arrived he gets into the water as soon as
possible. It is immaterial to him who is stand-
ing around. He divests his body of every
particle of clothing, and, fearing he will not
be seen, takes a prominent position on a lum-
ber pile and does some lofty tumbling. Every
evening a lot of these urchins tan be seen
strung along Labadie's wharf, or swimming
about in tbe bay, without any reference to the
modesty of ladies who may be compelled to
frequent that portion of the landing. While
it might be wrong to stop the sport of these
little fellows, some influential policeman should
take a walk down that way ai:d attempt to
prevail on them either to wear bathing suits or
go hom&

Among tbe Firemen.
The following invitation to the firemen of
Galveston to participate in the Maifest cele-
bration at Dallas was received here yesterday
by chief Jordan:
Firkmkn's Hall, Dallas, Texas. April 21, 1880.
The fire department of Galveston is hereby cor-
dially invited to participate with the Dallas fire de-
Eartment in celebrating the Maifest to be held in

Who is Mrs. Winslow 1
As this question is frequently asked, we will
simply say that she is a lady who for upward of
thirty years has untiringly devoted her time and
talents as a female physician and nurse, principally
among Children. Sne has especially studied the
constitution and wants of this numerous class, and,
as a result of this effort, and practical knowledge
obtained in a lifetime spent as nurse and physician,
she has compounded a Soothing Syrup for children
teething. It operates like magic, giving rest and
health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wins-
low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor of
her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless
her; especially is this the case in this city. Vast
quantities of the Soothing Svrup are daily sold and
used here. We think Mrs. Winslow has immortal-
ized her name by this invaluable article, and we
sincerely believe thousands of children have been
saved from an early grave by its timely use, and
that millions yet unborn will share its benefits and
unite in calling her blessed. No mother nas dis-
charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it tne benefit of Mrs.
Winsiow's Soothing Syrup. Try it, mothers; try it
now. [Ladies' Visitor, New York City.] Sold by all
druggists—25 cents a bottle.

City Sports.
There are several big races on the tapis, for
which arrangements have not yet been fully
perfected, but which will come off on an early
day. In addition to these the following matcli
has been made, to take place at the driving
park on June 1st: Levy Bros.'g. c. Banker,
against Bartlett's b. g Tom Baker, for $50 a
side, mile heats, best three in five, to harness.
To a News reporter, yesterday, Joe Levy
stated that he would back the bay mare St.
Mary for a quarter of a mile dash against any
horse in the state of Texas for anything from
$500 to $100C a side, the defiance to be left open
for fifteen days from date, and the match if
made to be run on Galveston island. St. Mary
is a fine looking, raugy, bay mare, that stands
fifteen hands and one inch high, and weighs
when in condition about 900 pounds. Here is
a chance for the owner of quarter horses
throughout the state to show their mettle.
Among boating men this season there is con-
siderable interest manifested, and especially is
this the case among the active members of the
Galveston Rowing club, who are in training
for the regatta, which is to take place in May
next. For the four-oared race to take place
then the New York club, whoso headquarters
are at the Mallory wharf, will shortly have a
crew in training, and they expect to give the
Atlantics of New Orleans, who have signified
their intention of coming to participate in the
regatta, a good race over the course. Among
the single scullers of the Galveston Boat club.
Baker is remarked among the best (excepting, of
course, Jack Crotty, who is conceded to be one
of the best in the country), and though, to all
appearances, he lacks the necessary stamina
for an oarsman, he makes a shell leap through
the water in a very pretty way.
For several seasons past, yacht men of Gal-
veston have relieved tne monotony of the dull
and changing shore by occasional regattas, in
which the speed of their respective vessels
have been tested with varied success. The re-
creation thus afforded has been pleasant to
both visitors and spectators, as well as to
chose who held the helms and trimmed the
sails of the speeding crafts. The prevailing
south winds and the moderate temperature of
the weather have already tempted sailing par-
ties from the shore, and it has been suggested
that a spirited yacht contest would be a suita-
ble amusement to succeed the gaieties of the
Maifest. Capt. Moore, of Indianola, expresses
a willingness to back his yacht, Nellie Sweney,
against any yacht on the'eoast from Point Isa-
bel to Galveston, a*d any one acquainted with
Capt. Moore knows that he means just what he
says, which opens the way for a first-class raoe
along the bay front.

The News office received a visit yesterday
from J. G. Everest, southern passenger agent
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and
the Wisconsin Central railroads—two of the
most picturesque and delightful roads over
which to take a summer trip there is in the
country. Mr. Everest left at the News office
a book entitled The Tourist's Manual of the
Health, Pleasure and Scenie Resorts of the
Golden Northwest, which contains much valu-
able information to those who contemplate a
northern trip during the summer months.
Hon. S. W. Blount and daughters. Miss
Emma Blount and Mrs. Jennie Holmes, of San
Augustine, gave the News office a call yester-

pleased with the accurate rapidity in which the
paper was run off, as well as with the novel
process of stereotyping, which for the first
time they had an opportunity of witnessing.
Col. Blount, although upward of seventy
years of age, is active and in good health, and
in looks bears the appearance of not being over
fifty. The colonel was one of the signers of
the Texas declaration of independence, of
which only three others of that memorable
band of patriots now survive, viz: Gov.
Pease, judge Waller and C. B. Stewart. CoL
Blount is en ro"atc home from San Antonio,
wnere he has been in attendance on the late

NOTES lA'D OI*llfIOIiS.
Editorial Expressions from Lesdins
Papers.
Philadelphia Record: One of the most sig-
nificant inferences to be deri ved from the pro-
ceedings of the New York democratic conven-
tion on Tuesday at Syracuse is the final aban-
donment of Mr. Tilden as a contestant for the
presidential nomination at Cincinnati. It is a
graceful letting down of that gentlemen—not
an abrupt bounce, indeed, but an easy and po-
lite. yet definite and final, withdrawal of his
claims for the candidacy. The action and tem-
per of the convention are susceptible of no
other interpretation. Not only the spirit of
the speeches, but the very text of tbe resolu-
tions adopted by the body discloses this pur-
pose. Reading between the lines of the formal
and deliberate declaration of the sentiment of
the gathering at Wieting hall, embodying, as
it may be presumed to do, the views of the
democratic constituencies represented by the
delegates assembled there, the conclusion is ir-
resistible that the democracy of the empire
state has at length recognized the necessity of
entering this year's canvass under another
leadership than that of 1S76.
New York Tribune: Mr. Tilden and his
friends do not surrender. They calculate that
they may perhaps succeed, if Gen. Grant
should be the republican candidate. Against
him, they reason, there is a fair chance of car-
rying Ohio, or Indiana, or Wisconsin, or New
Jersey, or Connecticut, and even New York,
if the democratic feud can be quieted, aud
reduced to the minimum of effectiveness. If
nothing can be done with Mr. Kelly, say the
friends of Mr. Tilden, there are still means
known to Mr. Smith Weed, and to other agents
of Cipher alley, for cutting away the antag
onism of other anti-Tilden men. To bring the
result of the election within the control of the
electoral votes from one or two stales, is the
first step in the democratic plan, and to that
end the nomination of Gen. Grant is desired.
To capture by fraud, trickery, bribery, or
insolent usurpation of power by congress,
enough electoral votes to turn the scale, is the
next step, and Mr. Tilden is the one candidate
who may reasonably be expected to accom-
plish much for his party in that direction. He
dees not decline, because he kuows that the
democratic party does not mean to allow a
fair, free and honest election.
National Republican: One thing the anti-
third termagants seem to have discovered, and
that is that there is no collusion between Gen.
Gicant and his friends in the conduct of the
canvass, each paddling their own canoe in
their own way, leaving consequences to take
care of themselves. There does not seem,
however, to be any marked inconsistency be-
tween an expressed desire On the part of
some of his friends for a strong government
and the conciliatory tone of Gen. Grant's ex-
pressions while in the south and since he came
further north. Because Gen. Grant recognizes
the fact that he was received and treated kindly
by the southern people during his short passage
through that section in a kindred spirit, is that
to be regarded as a confession that our govern-
ment should not be made as strong as experi-
ence, integrity, firmness and courage can well
make it* If so. we fail to see it. Undoubtedly
the olive branch, backed by an iron will and a
stern determination to conserve tbe constitu-
tion, the laws and the equal rights of all the
people, is the strongest possible kind of govern-
ment that this republic can have. Its genuine
strength reposes less in ite warlike spirit and
preparation than in its sense of Kindness, gen-
erosity and strict jufl|ice.
St. Louis Times: Nothing could more thor-
oughly demonstrate the utter tek of principle
of the Grant faction than the manner in which
Grant and his managers are conducting their
campaign. They are appealing to the people
on one issue in the north and on exactly the
opposite issue in the south. In the north the
managers appeal to the sectional prejudices of
the people by assuring them that the spirit of
rebellion is rampant in the south; that all free-
dom of political expression and action "is
crushed out in the old slave-holding states: that
bulldozers and rifie-clubs are the only political
powers recognized in them, and that Grant,
the strong man, is required to hold these dis-
cordant elements in check, to teach them their
ANOTHER JFIIilJB 1TSTER EXCITEMENT,
Torpedo Boat Sent to Cuban Waters.
The fast clipper steamer Tropic, commanded
by Capt. King, of Plymouth, Massachusetts,
one of the fleet of vessels engaged in the fruit
trade, sailed from Philadelphia for Cuban wa-
ters, April 23, having on board a most destruc-
tive apparatus intended for use in blowing up
Spanish vessels on the coast of Cuba. Phila-
delphia dispatches give the annexed descrip-
tion of the submarine torpedo boat:
The boat is the product of the brains of the
late Prof. McClintock, who lost his life some
months ago while experimenting with a new
explosive compound in Boston harbor. This
experiment attracted the attention of the
Cubans, who shortly afterward visited Mr.

Mars in Cancer is not well for the revenue,
and savors strongly of heavy and unexpected
expenditure, whilst Mercury clouded by Sat-
urn indicates sorrow and grumbling in the
land, and a certain amour.t of dissatisfaction.
Herschel in the fourth is not good for agricul-
ture, so I fear we shall not have an abundant
year, but blight is threatened, and an unkind
season during the reign of this lunation. Her-
schel is stationary in the fifth degree of Virgo,'
with the sun in square on the 25th. This is un-
favorable for the peace and quietude of Turkey
aud Paris, and Mars blazing strongly in Can-
cer, with great northern deeb'nation, will bring
about mischief in New York, Holland, Scot-
land and other parts ruled by Cancer. Saturn
and Jupiter are both in Aries, so the evil of the
former will be counterbalanced by the good of
the latter.

Four planets (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and

of this month, which will, consequently, prove
an eventful one for old England. Trade Im-

laboring classes is benefited thereby. Still
some troubles will arise about the 22d, when
Mars squares Saturn, probably from 44 strikes "
and agitation. News from Africa will not be
reassuring, for the passage of Mars through
Cancer is certain to disturb that vast conti-
nent. Holland, Scotland, New York, York
and Manchester, will all feel, more or less, the
effects of the square of Mars and Saturn. In
New York excitement will be at fever heat,
and the marshaling of troops will rouse the
martial instincts of the American people. The
French army will be actively employed, and
the condition of Algeria will cause grave
anxiety in Paris. At the beginning of this

with destruction by fire.

Progress in Eastland County.
LTo the News.]
Eastland, Texas, April 25.—Eastland is now
booming, and as she has the best railroad pros-
pects of any place in north Texas, she will
probably continue to boom. Although small,
she is already beginning to feel her dignity,
and to compare the prices of real estate now
with the prices of one year ago furnishes an
amusing contrast. Tne Texas and Pacific
railroad has at last permanently located its
line through this county, and has located a de-
pot at Eastland city (the Dallas Herald to the
contrary notwithstanding), and men are now
at work within a few miles of town grading
and cutting ties. The Houston and Texas
Central road, as the readers of the News
know, is being rapidly extended to the west,
and as that company own an immense body
of land in this section, and as the road is
chartered for a point near the center of East-
land county, our citizens have great faith in
the report that they will form a junction with
the Pacific at this place.
Eastland county is blessed with probably
the largest bodies of coal to be found in any
county in Texas. It crops out in the beds of
nearly all the streams in the northern and
western portions of the counter. It is used in
the blacksmiths' shops in this and adjoining
counties, and those who pretend to know say
it is of am excellent quality. Some of this
coal is located on state school land, and can
be bought very cheap.
We have fine crop prospects, and parties
desiring to locate in northwest Texas are in-
vited to consider well the advantages of East-
land county. o. h. d.

Eden No. 2, Carrigo Springs, Texas, April
23, 1880.—Our country is quiet at present un-
der the influence of the gallant band of
rangers with Lieut. Oglesby. He dashes about
like a guerrilla, and is always turning up
where ieast expected. Immigration is con-
stantly pouring in, and the county is improv-
ing fast.
The glorious 21st was celebrated here in be-
coming style. The village school being sus-
pended, teacher, students, and many other s re-
paired to a delightful spot (Willow grove) on
the dancing Carrigo, with its glossy surface,
and limpid depths, and spent the day in social
and mental delights. W illow grove had been
previously furnished with seats, and a neat
lone star banner, bearing a suitable device,
was displayed above the swaying branches of
the majestic willows, and dallied with the
zephyrs of our beautiful sunset land as fa-
miliarly as if it had never been furled. It
made the hearts of Texans swell with pride to
behold it. After recitation of some extracts
appropriite to the occasion, the declaration of
Texan independence was read by Mr. J. B.
Gibson, an original poem on the occasion by
Prof. Burnev, and a speech by judge Hazel-
rigg, in which he expressed great satisfaction
with the pleasures of the day, complimenting
all, and especially the school, for their gentle
behavior and felicitous arrangements. Long
live San Jacinto day and Texas.

Richmond, Texas., April 27.—The district
court convened here yesterday afternoon,
William H. Buckhart, judge, presiding, and
organized the grand jury, which was composed
of ten white and two colored men, and, by the
way, a good jury, after which the criminal
docket was taken up, several murder cases
called, special venires ordered, and the cases
set, except that of the "state vs. Frank Webb.
In this the counsel did not agree, so the case

for good crops very flattering, and the freed-

ST7GA.lt CANE.
Independent: Mr. G. O. Jar vis, the largest
sugar planter in Brazoria county, reports the
cane prospects very good.
The sugar produced from the tropics cane in
this country is confined to a narrow belt bor-
dering the gulf of Mexico. The total produc-
tion of this strip last year was about 250,000,-
000 pounds, while cur importations from
abroad were 1,741,050,000 pounds, besides mo-
lasses, melado and other forms of sucrose, be-
ing about 380,000,000 pounds increase over the
import of the preceding year.
dilty to the government and to secure to re-
publicans not only the fight to vote but the
right to live. Their plea is that the war is not
to vote but the
ended, that the south i£ watching its oppor-
tunity, and that the north can not for a day
remit its watchfulness or be unprepared for
action. On the other hand, Grant, dfcluded
with the hope of carrying some of the south
•era states, has been proclaiming in the south
chat all was peace and concord between the
sections; that there was no sense in further
divisions and differences, and that the long
promised political millenium was come at last.
Now, if Grant is right, his managers must be
wrong; and if his managers are right, he must
be wrong; but each knowing that he is contra-
dicting the other, keeps on his course, intent
only on regaining power.
Springfield Republican: The democratic
party has this year to deserve success by its
nomination for the presidenc}' in order to ob-
tain the chance of a victory at the polls next
November. The set of the popular current is
against it. For nearly two years election
after election has shown that it was in a
minority on the electoral vote of the country,
ard the party rising to the occasion is in a fair
way to nominate an admirable candidate at
last. This is not merelv to be desired in a
party which has the allegiance of 4,000,000
American voters; it was to be expected. The
people, in the long run, whether democratic
or republican in their party sympathies, have
a high standard for the first officer of the re-
public, and the politicians of the demoeratic
party are slowly rising to the level of its
voters. Few things are more encouraging in
current affairs than the survival of
the fittest among democratic can
didates. Hendricks has gone to the
rear, hopelessly outlawed by his financial re-
cord. Thurman's inconsistent attitude on the
same question has laid him aside. Tilden,
spite of the victory of his friends at Syracuse
and his support in other states, stands" to-day
rather a great leader of unrivaled political
ability than a promising candidate. The re-
markable position which he occupies as the
only democratic candidate for the presidency
in twenty-five years who has polled a majority
of the popular vote and the general support
accorded to his presidential claims by his party
for three years past, weigh little against the
substantial arguments against his nomination,
born of his own tortuqus course in politics and
his suspicions success in business. The demo-
cratic candidates who are left and are to-day
prominent give fair hope of a nomination
which every democrat will be able to support
with just pride. Hancock has so far received
the open support of twd states widely separa-
ted, Louisiana and Vermont, and Hancock is
a man whose character offers no ground
for objection, and but for a general dis
trust in military presidents, his ability might
fairly be claimed to be equal to the presidency.
Randall and Payne, who divide current report
as the heirs of Tilden's political fortune, are
both men in whose hands a great party couid
well feel safe in trusting its fortunes. The
stainless personal character of Bayard and of
Seymour has come to be a. oommonplace in
American politics, and while .objections can
be urged to the election of either, both are
men of the first order^. The action of the
Chicago convention may yet make a vote for
any one of these men, an alternative which
conscientious republicans will accept in prefer
ence to a vote for Grant or Blaine. Mean
while the democratic party stands within one
of good candidates, while the republican party
is within two of a good candidate. It is high
time that the best democratic opinion of this
state was making itself felt in the general de-
mand of the party for a democratic candidate
who shall deserve success.
ound. The new submarine
and
off
after numerous experiments
Lewes, Delaware, was
partly bought and prepared for shipment,
as well as the compound and torpedo model.
The submarine torpedo boat is a small craft
built entirely of iron. It is 32 feet in length, 7
feet across beam, and 8 feet depth of hold. It
is operated by four men, and it is said by Mr.
Holgate that these men can remain under
water and work without once coming to the
surface for at least forty-eight hours. The
boat contains an apparatus for supplying a
sufficient quantity of atmospheric gas to
render this feat possible. The boat is propelled
from jpoint to point by a motor operated with
gas.
also contains electric machinery for
operating and discharging the torpedoes.
When a vessel is to be destroyed, and she is
sailing or lying in water sufficiently deep to
allow it, the marine boat will run under her
hull, and, at the proper point, emit her tor-
pedo, to which are attached electric wires.
When the torpedo boat is at a suf-
ficiently safe distance the deadly pro-
jectile alongside of the hull of the
enemy is discharged, and it is
said that no craft, however strong, can
survive the shock of one of McClintock's tor-
pedoes. This remarkable vessel can be taken
apart in less than five hours and reconstructed
in less than double that time. Under these
circumstances th© Cubans think that she will
be the terror of the Spanish navy. The Tropic
also carried awav a large quantity of dyna-
mite and a number of electric blasting ma-
chines. There were no Cuban recruits or per-
sons connected witn the revolutionary project
on board of the steamer, except one person
who is thoroughly familiar with" the plot and
the final disposition to be made of the cargo.
The usual course of Warner & Merritt's
fruit fleet to the West Indies is along
the Atlantic coast through the gulf
stream and thence through Crooked
Island passage, in the Bahamas, around
the eastern point of Cuba, .being about
fifteen miles from the shore, and there to the
port of San Antonio, in the island of Jamaica.
This course is a tortuous one, and with little
strategy, owing to the number of small islands
comprising the Bahama group and the usual
dead calm of the waters between them, affords
abundant opportunity for the disharge or
transfer of tne cargo before the steamer ar-
rives at her regular destination. The Tropic
has been the especial object of suspicion, and
on her previous trip to Port Antonio, she was
followed by a Castilian frigate for a distance
of eighty miles from Baracoa. It was believed
that the chase was the result of information
telegraphed to the Spanish authorities from
this city regarding their suspicion of the char-
acter of h©r cargo on that trip, and their
impression of her unusually hasty move-
ments. The Tropic is well known
maritime circles as one of the
fastest mercantile steamers in this country.
She was built in England during the war and
designed for a blockade runner, with a special
eye to speed and seaworthiness. Schooner
rigged, she is 149 feet in length, 19 feet width
of beam and 17 feet depth of hold, which is di-
vided by a 'tween deck of seven feet. She is
equipped with the most complete machinery,
and under pressure can cover seventeen and a
half knots per hour. Her name during the war
was Belle, and she ran between Nassau and
southern points with contraband goods undtr
the command of the notorious Capt. Hassan, of
Virginia, who was subsequently killed during
a chase by a union frigate. Shortly after this
event the Belle was captured by tbe United
States government and held until after the war,
when she was sold to some Bostonians, who ran
her as a freight and passenger boat between
that city and Prince Edward's island and Hali-
fax. She was then known as 44 Pet." During
a voyage in this trade she ran on a rock near
Halifax, where she stove a large hole in her
bottom, and in this condition she was pur-
chased by Warner & Merritt and repaired,
and ha£ since been known as the Tropic. A
few moment before the Tropic swung away
from her dock, Capt. King was advised by a
person intimate with the expedition to hoist
his colors in case he was sighted by a Spanish
man-of-war, and bide the examination of his
cargo and other actions of the frigate with
quiet resignation. The captain measured his
adviser 4a. moments, and then, with a merry
twinkle in his eye, laughingly replied: 44 Never
mind me; I'll take care of that. Damn the
Spaniard who will board this vessel while I am
around! " and, emphatically shaking his head,
ordered the hawser to be cast, whereupon the
Tropic steamed away.

Victoria Advocate: A sale of a fine herd of
Durham three-year-old cows was made on
Tuesday, Mr. A. Goldman purchasing a
number from Mr. Wm. R. Rupley, for the
handsome consideration of $1500. Mr. Gold-
man purchases this herd for his stock farm on
the Cotetto -creek. Victoria county has per-
haps as large a number of improved stock of
all kinds within its borders as any county in
Texas, and experience demonstrates the fact
that it pays to raise this kind of stock...
Mr. S. P. Weisiger returned last
week from New Orleans, where he

we predict that he will be heard from this year.

A letter from Uvalde says: We are grazing
in this county about 100,000 sheep, and of these
are breeding, say 40,000 ewes. From these we
expect to raise, at a low calculation, 25,000
lambs, and will have ready for market from
them about 11,000 wethers annually. Of course
these are approximate figures. The business
is largely increasing every year, and now con-
stitutes the main business and principal wealth
of the county. This is decidedly a mesquite
county. Everything is mesquite. Ask a citi-
zen the name of any tree, shrub or grass, and
the uniform answer is, '4 it's a kind of mes-
quite." So yon see our botanical catalogue is
not very extensive. Mr. J. V. Abrams passed
up the international railroad with 2200 weth-
ers for Chicago. He purchased in Uvalde
county stock ranging from good to premium.
Several Fre nch bishops, who have been in
close relation with the jesuits, have sent me-
morials to the pope, representing their views
of the present position, and asking instruc-
tions as to their conduct in respect to the en-
forcement of the government decree. Leo
XIII, mindful of the receut troubles and em-
barrassments caused by the Belgian bishops,
has not as yet thought fit to send any reply to
their application. It is a matter of serious
consideration at the Vatican whether any in-
structions should be sent. The French gov-
ernment would be glad to obtain from the
pope some declaration which might assist
them in the work before them 01 putting
down the jesuits; while the pope and his
secretary, although resolved to abstain from
any act or word in the nature of a protest,
will not be apt to help the government.

THE LEPER'S HOME,
Men and Women Waiting:, for tbe Dry-
Rot to End Their liives.
[Havana Correspondence of the Philadelphia
Times* 1
A matter which, from its peculiar horror, I
am not likely readily to forget, was a visit
made to the hospital de San Lazaro, at Havana,
the home of the lepers. This ancient and ter-
rible disease finds many victims among the
low-cast Cubans and the poverty-stricken
Chinese, though it reaches its gaunt fingers in-
to better society sometimes. Leprosy is either
inherited, or induced by poor food, and especial-
ly by the eating of stale fish. It seems to be a
fish-eater's disease, in fact, seldom prevailing at
any great distance from the sea. Leprosy,
as seen in the West Indies, is simply a dry rot.
The soul of a man is imprisoned in his body
long after he is, to all intents and purposes,
dead, and, with all his mental faculties intact,
he must endure the gradual falling apart ot
his earthly tenement, awaiting with what phi-
losophy he may the hour when the cancerous
agent may touch a vital point. This may not
occur for many years; it may happen to-mor-
row. The traditions of the hospital do not
point to any individual case of cure whereby
the patient may gam ever so faint a hope. It
might well be inscribed over the portal: 44 Let
those who enter here leave all hope behind."
There were five of us in the party which
drove out through the hot streets toward the
forbidding suberb facing the sea—Dr. Burgess,
an American resident physician and United
States sanitary officer; an invalid doctor from
Hartford, and three journalists. San Lazaro
is located just where, in a more modern city,
we might look for a big and prosperous hotel.
It looks out across a few low bouses upon the
fair prospect of the harbor's mouth, and the
sea sends its unfettered waves straight in
from the northward, dashing up the spray al-
most to its walls. The place was founded by
a philanthropic Spauiard within a trifle of two
hundred years ago, and was restored in 1878.
A liberal bequest of neighboring property has
always afforded an ample revenue for its sup-
port, but with inJa short tune the government
has converted a portion of its property, and,
as one of the officials of the institution
remarked, matters were 44 not so good."
In form the hospital is a large quadrangle,
centering upon a chapel. A high wall divides
the wards of the men and the women. We en-
tered the male department first. The leading
peculiarity of the first patients met loitering in
the corridors was a claylike appearance of the
skin and a depression or cavins: in of the nasal
portions of the face. The nostrils and lobes of
the ear were globular and holes were formed
over the eyebrows. The voices of the men
were nearly all changed, sounding indistinct
and painful. Patients were bidden to ap-
proach, who hobbled to us upon tbe stumps of
limbs long since robbed, by the process of dis-
ease, of feet and ankles, and they held out for
our inspection miserable remnants of arms,
shriveled, warped and decayed, and yet these
arms found cunning enough to grasp and re-
move hats from matted heads of hair when we
tendered a few bits of Spanish currency.
We saw in these low corridors perhaps forty
men. Some were new comers, upon whom the
disease had put but few marks as yet. Others
were almost ready to go to the hopeless ward
above, where we presently climbed. Here,
upon beds in a double row, were the vestiges of
what had once been men—corpses which
breathed in speechless agony through the long
week, and which yet clung to life as though
even under these conditions it was sweet to ex-
ist. Tattered drapings hung from these
breathing skeletons, whose every pose was the
attitude of despair. No picture of Dore's il-
lustrative of the Inferno could overdraw a
scene like this. Enough of this. It was with the
greatest relief that we walked across the pleas-
ant garden, planted with bananas and figs, and
entered the women's ward, under the guidance
of a fat but devout mother sup?rior. All respect
to her and her staff of nuns, who labor here
among the hopeless, pointing their fainting
steps upward and slaving through the heat of
years to alleviate the sufferings of those with
whom thev are appointed to live. The scenes
amid the women were but a repetition of those
across the rectangle. A few were telling their
beads, some sewed and were neat in person
and surrounding to the last degree. A bright
little boy ran toward us with an orange in
either hand. He was the pet of the hospital.
His mother was an inmate far gone with the
disease. He was not yet old enough to know
the fate that awaits him. What a pity this
bright little chap is not taken as a subject for
scientific experiment. Can it not be that there
exists some means of driving out the venom
and building up the system of the unhappy
progeny of lepers with healthy tissues ?
Jay Gould's Winnings.
The New York Public says that a year ago
Jay Gould sold 100,000 shares of Union Pacific
for about $7,500,000. Then he bought a con-
trolling interest in Kansas Pacific, which was
at 12. for about $600,000, and in the next six
months the stock rose to 92. netting $4,000,000.
Wabash was at 18 when Gould bought, men
say, two-thirds of the stock, and it rose later
to 62%. His profits on the consolidation of
the St. Louis Northern (which he bought at
7>;j' and saw rise to 47) and Wabash, are put at
$4,850,000. In ail, by spending about $3,8o0,000
for stocks, Gould has netted $11,000,000, if he
were to sell out. Meanwhile he can borrow
on his holdings two or three times the amount
of his original capital. Tbe question in W all
street now is hovf much Gould expects to make
on his Central stock, of which he has at least
83,500 shares.

Houston, April 28.—The loan exhibition of
the ladies' aid society, which opened to-night,
was attended by a large crowd, who enjoyed
to the fullest, the novelties presented by tbe
committee. As the object to which the funds
realized are to be devoted is a good one—the
creation of a parsonage fund—it is to be hoped
that eminent success will crown the efforts of
the fair workers. Among the objects of
interest on exhibition are numbers of
ancient coins, one from the time of Julius
Caesar, old books, manuscripts, and
newspapers, relics of historic interest and va-
rious pieces of interesting bric-a-brac. To
specify particularly, even the leading objects
would occupy more space than can be spared,
but these can be named: Two books over 200
years old; copy of New York Herald of 1795;
newspaper published in London at the time of
the coronation of queen Victoria, and contain
ing full particulars of the same; copy of Gal-
veston News issued from Houston during the
war, and printed on brown paper—it is a sin-
gle sheet, six columns to the page, and gives
meager details of war notes; a square of pttish
from the block on which Mary Queen of Scots
was beheaded: box made from piece of the
coffin of Washington (?); oil portrait of Deaf
Smith—said to be the only one in existence;
sash and cap of Gen. Magruder.

Houston a demented negro, whose misfortune
earned for him the sobriquet of " crazy Den-

a vagrant, and only three or four days ago was
placed in jail upon such a charge. This after-
noon, while engaged at work around the prem-

from thedr.%3 of inspection, and in cases of sick-
ness of infectious or contagious character, said
vessel shall be detained in quarantine twenty-five
days after all such disease ou siid vessel has dis-
appeared, and if in any case the health officer
should be satisfied that a detention for a logger
time than here prescribed was necessary for safety

Rule 4. Any contemplated moaBlcatious of Rule
3 at auy of such ports shall first be submitted to
the governor for his action, to be granted only up-
on such conditions as to expense and under such

They will also approve all accounts admitted to be

object for which accounts have been made: and as
soon as practicable furnish him with a rough sketch
on foolscap paper of the station of each port, show-
ing by the relation and names of places how the
quarantine arrangements have been made and car-
ried on for the s llety of the country.
7. All vessels arriving at any port, of Texas from
anv port south of the 26th degree of north latitude
should be taken to be doubtful as to the safety of
admitting it. unless, in reference to that particular
Sort south of the 25th degree of north latitude, it
as been shown beforehand that no infectious dis-
ease prevailed at that place when the vessel left it,
or a reasonable time before, andit is so authorita
tively declared upon full information sent to this
office.
S. The respective boards and health officers
should give heed to the instructions and advice of
the national board of health and its officers, given
in aid of the state quarantine, not disregarding,
however, the more rigid and restrictive rules here-
in required, and made necessary by the nearness
of our coast to the tropics.
9. Anv vessel coming from a port or place north
of the 25th degree of latitude, and, which has not
been south of it during this season, or which has
been properly disinfected after being there, and
contains a cargo that has recently been brought
from a port or place south of that latitude, or
from an infected port north of it, which cargo has
been properly disinfected, of which satisfactory
information must be furnished to the health of-
ficer at any Texas port, may be admitted after
thorough inspection aud no suspicion of danger is
entertained; but if there has been no proper disin-
fection of the vessel when necessary, aiid of the
cargo, the vessel must be regarded as doubtful and
treated as such: and passengers or crew recentiy
froin south of said latitude would srive the vessel
the same doubtful character; and when quarantine
shall have been declared upon the land oorders of
the state, the same precautions must be taken in
regard to all tropical productions, and to passen-
gers and employes transported in railroad cars or
steamboats or other vessels into Texas.
10. Whenever any preparations shall be made for
disinfecting vessels, or vessels and cargoes, at any
station on the coast, or on the laDd borders of the
stale, they must be submitted with full descriptions
to the governor, who will pass upon them with the
aid of the advising physician who shall have first
inspected them, and in all such cases perfect safety
must be assured, before they will be taken charge
of by the health officer at any such station for use.
and then under such conditions, regulations aud
restrictions as may be stipulated.
11. The resi>ecti\ e boards aud officers acting un-
der them will please examine and observe the laws
of this state relating to quarantine, both in the
Digest of Civil Statutes and in the General Laws of
the Sixteenth Legislature, and all civil officers and
citizens are respectfully requested to aid said offi-
cers in the enforcement of tne laws and the regula-
tions under them for the safety of the people of the
state against the terrible ravages of infectious dis-
eases, and especially of yellow fever, to which we
are the more subject from our southern locality
and long warm weather in iha spring, summer and
fall mouths.
12. Being invested with the great responsibility
of aiding in protecting the fives of the people of
Texas from infectious diseases entering our borders
on the gulf and on laud, with the aid of an advis-
ing physician, I respectfully solicit information
from any good citizen at. any 6tation*port or place
in or out of Texas, in relation to any thing relating
to quarantine which after investigation may be be-
lieved to endanger the safety of the country
against contagious disease.
13. In antic ipation of the probability of the yel-
low fever or other infectious disease entering the
territorv of the United States at some ]>oint north
of the 2 th degree of north latitude, the following
directions are hereby requested to be oDs<Tved. so
as to promptly establish a quarantine on the east-
ern and northern borders 01 the state, as soon as it
may become necessary, and to be then, anil not
until then,-put in force and practical operation:
The county commissioners court of Orange coun-
ty will take control of the station at the railroad
crossing of the Sabine river, near the town of
Orange, and of the other crossings of said river
leading to Texas in said county, and appoint a
health officer, agents, guards and employes there-
for; the corporate authorities of Marsna 11 will take
like control of tne station at Waskum. at the cross-
ing of Texas and Pacific railroad of the Texas fine,
and of other crossings of said line in Harrison coun-
ty, and appoint a health officer, guards and em-
ployes iu like manner; so the corporate authorities

ties of Denison will take control of the station
where the railroad crosses Red river near that placr.
and other crossings, into Grayson county, and ap-

themselves. Upon receiving reliable information
that the yellow fever has appeared at any place
within the interior of the Lnitea States, i nd until
more specific directions are given from this offic*.
they will enforce the quarantine regulations as
nearly as practicable against any such infect*d
places as are herein prescribed for the stations on
the coast of Texas. O. 11. ROBERTS. Governor.
