Killed by a Tombstone*
[St. James Garette.]
The story of the sculptor at Ayr (Mr. Smith)
who is reported to have been crushed to death
by a heavy monument on which he was at
work, and which he somehow brought down
upon himself from the platform on which it
had been raised, recalls several similar stories
of antiquity and of the middle ages, in which
the sculptor is represented as struck to the
ground and killed by his own crea-
tion. Sometimes, too, a statue will
fall in an independent manner on a per-
who had taken a part in creating it,
btrfc who had been guilty of some offense, gen-
erally toward the statue itself. A statue, for
example, having been erected during his life-
time to the wrestler Theagenes, a jealous rival
approached it one night, and, after insulting
it by word of mouth, seized it by the beard and
pulled il down upjn himself with crushing ef-
fect. An endeavor, too, has been made to ex-
plain by a hke affront, followed by like conse-
quences, the legend of Don Juan and the statue
of the commander. Unhappily, in the case of
Mr. Smith, the story is true. The monument
that crushed him was a tombstone weighing
upward of half a ton.
a Turtle that Catches Rats.
[Cincinnati Enquirer.j
John E. Garnier, of Lawrenceburg, Ind.,
has quite a curiosity in his garden. It is a pet
turtle of the hard shell kind. Its peculiarity
consists in its ability to catch rats. Mr. Gar-
nier and family have frequently noticed the
pet turtle feasting on the carcass of rats, and
had wandered at this strange sight; but yes-
terday, as the gentleman was showing some
friends through his beautiful garden of flow-
ers their attention was attracted to the rust-
ling of plants near by, accompanied by a
scratching and whining noise. On investigat-
ing the cause of this disturbance what was
the.ir surprise to find the turtle engaged in a
fierce battle with a large rat. The turtle had
the rat by the side, and was dexterously using
its claws on the struggling animal. The rat
was resisting its enemy, furiously biting and
scratching the hard shell of its assailant, but
without making an impression. It was squeal-
•' ing. most piteously, and while the visitors were
looking on in astonishment the turtle coolly
completed its work of death.

opinion. There are five general bodii
among the white Baptists of Texas; four o!
them—the Baptist State convention, the East
Texas convention, the North Texas Missionary
convention, and the Central convention—com-
prise at least three-fourths of the Baptists of
the State. Now it is a known fact that these
organizations are vehemently opposed to con-
ventions and associations interfering in any
manner whatever wit h churches in the dis-
cipline of their members. In other words/
these four bodies stand firmly on the old bar-
tist doctrine of independent church govern-
ment. The General association and viie Texas
Baptist stand committed to the doctrine that
an association or convention has the right to
overhaul the action of a church in the dis-
cipline of its members, and decide whether it has
done right or wrong. We have understood Dr.
Hayden, editor of the Texas Baptist, has stood
shoulder to shoulder with the General associa-
tion and the Texas Baptist through all their
trouble, which he did not kill at Dallas, but i
fear only buried in a patent back-acting, self-
coupling, self-feeding, self resurrecting tomb.
In fact, i see the nose sticking out already in
the late letter of Mr. Carroll, of Waco, in the
Texas Baptist, of the 12th instant, in this sen-
tence: "Yet these brethern love peace..
They love all Texas. [Very.] They love
Christ's cause in every part of Texas. [Ex-
ceedingly!] Tuough they may not just yet
speak out, they will hear you dispassionately*
[Somewhat0 "They will subscribe for your
paper. They w ill work for it. They have no
other." Now this may be uni or. v: maybe
fication. 1 have no acquaintanc^^rith 4
but it does not look to me like uflnc&tion. tx
it is unification, it is certainly ymt very green,
and i thiuk it will tako «veral years
for it to ripen. It may^>y tbe use
of a vast deal of sweetening, be
served as on toast, or it may i# pickled, but
this will not do because many us do not like
tarts or pickles. we country Baptists want
general
to know before we are put/into this unification
pot, in simple plain language, where the Texas
Baptist and General a>jjociation stand on the
question of independent church government.
We want to know if they sfill maintain the
position agreed by them in that memorable
called ^session of the General association at
Dallas. It is true that at the late funeral ob-
sequies at Dallas, the wedge and garments
were returned, but we want you to say right
out that Vou repent and that you will not do
so any more. "W hen we go into this unifica-
tion pen we want every one to turn his pockets
inside out and shake them well, and'every
man to be laid on an iron bedstead, and the
following stan/.a to bo sung as a part of the
initiatory service:
The iron bedstead we have fetched, ?
To test our faith upon.
.If we're too short we must be stretched—
Cut erf if we're too long.
Four of our general bodies are now prac-
tically unified—working together in the mis-
sion work grandly and nobly, doing ten times
more missionary work than Baptists have ever
done in Texas l>efore. These bodies are solid.
When Nehomiah commenced to rebuild tha
walls of Jerusalem, Dr. Sanballet and the
Right Reverend Mr. Tobias, and old Brother
Gerhem suggested unification; but Nehemiah
said he could not unify, or words to that effect.
Aud so he went on and accomplished the work
he was sent ot God to do. It occurs to me that
unification is now going on. It is being ac-
complished, but a little hasre "3-,.isi»iv>vy jnighf
do infinitely more hariir than good.
Old Fogy.
P. S.—Some of the Baptists don't take any
paper but The News, aud so we shall have to
rely upon The News to keep us posted about
this unification business. Don't let 'em unify
us out hero in the {country without our know-
ledge.
Letter from Husk.
1T0 The Newg.l
Rusk, Texas, July 20, 1SS3.—Our town is
filled with strange faces by every train. Sev^
eral of our enterprising merchants have either
contracts let, or are threatening to build brick
warehouses, store-houses or ojiera-houses.
Iron is being laid, and the line of the Kansas
and Gulf Short Line railroad will be finished
to Alto, twelve miles southeast of this place,
by August 1. Connection with Bremond's
road at i.ufkin, iu Angelina county, will be
made as soon as money and labor can accom-
plish the feat. Superintendent Culverhouse
has iDfused new life iuto the management of
this excellent road, and his masterly, skillful
hand is seen iu every move of its onward pro-
gress.
The disposition of the convicts and peniten-
tiaries gives very general satisfaction here.
Kusk now plumes herself vririi the thought
that she will soon be another Birmingham in
the South. The design of the location of tht>
penitentiary at Rusk (manufacture of iron) is
being carried out to the letter, and soon the
immense iron wealth of Cherokee county will
be heralded to the world, and private capital
induced to come and invest. The large smelt-
ing furnace now in course of construction
will have a capacity of 3000 bushels ot
charcoal and yield twenty-five tons of iron per
day. Machinery is being placed iu the mam-
moth workshops. Every available sgot on tha
premises is being sodded in Bermuda grass and
cleanliness and order prevail ou every haud.
Mr. Daniels, the assistant superintendent, de-
serves much credit and commendation for his
display of system and management of this
gigantic concern, and since thd frozen regi-
men of his predecessor has passed away ona
hardly knows the place.
The outlook for the summer was never mora
Pattering. The corn crop is au assured fact, ,
and is counted far above an average. The cot-1
ton crop is also in splendid condition, yet is
liable to be cut short by a drouth or tha
worms. The potato aud corn crops also gi^|
promise of a good yield. The health of
town and county is passing good. Our cou
scrip is at par, with no debts. We challe
a better shewing from any county inj

Letter from Cisco.
iTo The N ews.!
Cisco, Texas, July 19, 1SS3.—It ma
interest to some of your oany readers tol
of Eastland county. Cisco is situated at'
junction of the Texas and Pacific and the Ted
Central, and at the altitude of 1'iOS feet. Th?
Leon river flows on the south at a distance of^
three miles, while to the northwest, one and a
half mile, Sandy creek, which is a tributary of
the Brazos, goes gurgling ou. The coal-fields,
which have been of so much interest to tha j
public, are about four or five miles broad aud
have been traced iu a northerly direction. l»
ginning at Cisco, for about forty miles.^^Tm)
are three veins, the second aud third of whij
are from four to six feet in thickness, but (
a part of the second vein is sufficiently matura
to utilize, yet. prior to the discovery of tha
third vem, a great amount of coal was taken,
from the second, but the indications are that
the principal amount of mining will hereafter-
be done on the third vein, which is proving to
be very line coal, and as iron is being found in
close proximity, furnaces are anticipated in
the near future.
The vegetable, grain and fruit crops are all
that could well be expected. The recent rains
are increasing the already large growth ot
grass, so that this is a good country for mining
farming and stock. *
The large new school-building"1
pleted for the school which opens in 1
l>er, and is free to ail between six and twenf
one.
Six denominations preach here and tli
have already built.
The town is but two years old.

If the patient public only knew that it is but
a question of trifling expense with the railroad
companies whether the people shall ride in a
pure atmosphere, as they do on all European
railways, or be smothered and begrimed with,
smoke and cinders, as in our own land, they
would compel legislation which would force
the companies to do what a wise regard for
their own interest ought to have induced them
to do long since. These miserable smoke-
vomiting locomotives are tolerated because th® .
people think there is no remedy. This is pur>r
iguorance. It is only a question of the trmufic
cost of altering the old locomotives, and pur-
chasing the proper kind of fuel. All ot tha
European locomotives consume their smoke,
so do the engines on the elevated railroads in
Sew York. In the end it is economy. Be-
sides, the more comfortable and agreeable you
make railroad journeying, the more people
will travel. [Providence journal.
