to refund the tax so oolleoted from
some of the people of that dlstriot.
Judge Hunter explained that the

leotion of the tax but that it had been
paid by a few and had oost the ocunty
more than the amount oolleoted.

him and also asking that he (County
Clerk Parker), be recognized B9 the
party with whom the county has oon
traoted for certain index work, created
a breezy discussion. Commissioner
Slack thought the county olerk shook
do the indexing and did not think the
commissioner’s court did the right
thing in contracting with Mr. Thomas
for the work.
Judge Planter and Commissioner
Harris explained that Mr. Th"mas had
devoted considerable time and had
spent some money on preliminary
work to the indexing and that his ex
periecoe would enable him to give the
oonnty a more perfect Index than oonld
be prepared by any person who had not
given the matter any study.
Mr. Slack moved that the reoords of
the oonnty olerk’s office, nowin the
possession of the dlstriot clerk, be
turned over instanter to the county
olerk. The motion carried.
Mr. Harris asked County Clerk Par
ker if he would allow Mr Thomas rt
floe room to do the indexing. Mr.
Parker promptly responded: “No
&lr.”
Judge Hunter—“I don’t know that
it will be necessary for Mr. Thomas or
any one else to ask for permission to
work in the county clerk’s office. It 1b
a public office.”
Mr. Parker—Of course any one oan
work at the desk outside, out I do not
intend to allow any one to copy the in-
dex.
Judge Hunter—That is a matter for
you and Mr. Thomas to settle. This
court has nothing to do with it.
The matter of asking for bids for
groceries and all other supplies for lhe
poor farm was referred to Messrs. Har-
ris. Armendariz and Slack.

CROKER AND COCKRAN.
Tammany's Ex-Leader and the Silver
Tongued Congressman.
[Social Correspondence. 1
New York, Jan. 10.—The current
differences between Richard Croker,
ate head of Tatnmahy Hall, and Hon.
Bourko Cockrau, moinbef of congress
from one of the New York districts,
revive the somewhat waning interest
in both these gqutlemeu.
Mr. Cockigm may Very properly bo
spoken of a? ofle of the best educated,
most cultivated members of Tammany
Hall. Besides he has always enjoyed
certain social considerations not extend-
ed to other members of the organization,
aiid there is no doubt that this had some-
thing to' do with the beginning of the
quarrel betwoou him and Mr. Croker
some two or three years ago. When
Croker began to get rich, his wife ex-
hibited social aspirations. It was
thought that these might be gratified,
in some degree at least, by the co-opera-
tion of ajr. Cockrau, but he did not co-
oporate, and later, when the New York
newspapers ridiculed Mrs. Croker and
her aspirations, her husband charged
Cockrau with inspiring it. '
Although Mr. Croker’s origin was
rather obscure, Mr. Cockrau’s begin-
nings were also on a low level, at least
from the money standpoint. When Coek-
ran came to America, he taught school
for a time, but afterward studied law
and opened an office on Broadway. Ho
was soon seen to be a man of moro than
usual force and attainments, and his
practice might have speedily grown to
very satisfactory proportions had he

Seedless Fruits and Vegetables.
Writers often express wonder that
any fruit or vegetable should be found
without seeds, the acme of surprise
seeming to he with respect to the seed-
less orange. The fact of the case is that
such examples are met with in almost
every variety of fruits and in several
kinds of vegetables. An instance whi6h
can he cited in the apple is Mennecher’s
Nocore, so named because of both ‘ ‘core’ ’
aud seed pits being entirely absent.
The Rutter pear is a so called seed-
less variety of that species of fruit, but
I believe that abortive seeds are occa-
sionally found in isolated specimens.
The “zante,” or seedless currant of the
grocery stores, is not a currant at all,
but a small specie^ of seedless grape.—
