ThcFrench minister has opened
discussion with Hong Chong on the
features pf a definite treaty of peace
with China. It if probable that a
treaty will be finished and signed
about the end of this month.
It is estimated that a 500 pound

The election controversy over the
mayoralty in Galveston, was decided
by holding another election la-t Fri-
day. The result reversed the “face
of the returns,” Mr. R. L. Fulton
receiving a majority of 835.
At Bangor, in Maine, Saturday
week, fifteen inches of snow fell and
there were drifts of snow five feet
deep. The saying “winter lingers
in the lap of spring,*’ should be
amended to include a portion of the
summer down in Maine.
It affords the Gazetteer pleas-
ure to learn that^L.. J. DuPre, well-
tnown in the south as editor and
author, and for several years editor
of the Austin Statesman, is to be
Minister Hubbard's private secretary
in Japan. We hope the Colonel
will keep copious notes of what he
hears and sees while in that far off
land and give the public the benefit.
A book on Japan from the pen of
Col. DnPre would be eagerly sought
after.
History says there were eight cru-
sades, the first commencing in 1096,
and the last ending it. 1378. It , is
computed that upwards of 2,000,000
of human beings perished in these
miserable expeditions that were got
up by the Catholic Church for the
purpose of conquering Palestine
from the Turks and rescuing Christ’s
supposed tomb from their posses-
sion.—Boston Investigator.

The Dallas Herald says the papers
are saying all over the state that
Goy. Throckmorton is in a dying
condition. There is no truth in such
reports. Gov. Throckmorton is im-
proving in his health, and will be as
efficient as ever in his congressional
career.
The Dallas & Northwestern Rail-
way company, capital stock $2,000,-

week. The proposed line begins at
Dallas and extending through the
counties of Tarrant, Denton, Wise,

Those who think the time to pay
their taxea has been extended to
August are mistaken. The delin-
quent tax list will be published
June and the sale will take place the
first Monday in July. All who have
not paid their taxes would do well
to bear this in mind. This applies
to the cities as well as the state ant
county.
The Clarksville Times reports
majority of eight for the incorpora-
tiok of that town, and the Times
that whilst the vote was onl^
and somewhat unsatisfactory on
account, the people should ac-
quiesce and go to work in earnest in
the selection of a good mayor, mar-
shal and aldermen.
The total issue of pastage stamps,
stamped -envelopes and postal cards
during April aggregated 371,008,-
,819, as against 264,645,300 during
the corresponding month in the pre-
vious year. The number of stamps
issued showed an increase of ij,«
000,000, while the issue of postal
cards fell ofT 4,000,000 and the
stamped envelopes 4,000,000.
Profit ia Fruit Raising.
With all the tons of grapes raised,
how is it there is not a gallon of
grape syrup to be had tor love or
money in the market? If you don’t
know that grape juice boiled down
to a clear syrup is the most relishing
thing in sickness or health for con-
sumptives, and to keep people from
getting consumptive, to be eaten as
ood or diluted for drink, that would
banish wine sooner than the temper-
ance societies, you have something
to learn. This article once known
wouhl prevent ail danger of an over-
crop of grapes, for it would be made
and kept by the barrel, and export-
ed for use in all climates. The new
jroduction of cider jelly, which is
merely cider boiled down, without
any addition, till it is a solid, dark
jelly, is a great gift to the house-
keeper, and will be the salvation of
the apple orchards. What if apples
are fifty cents a barrel in October?
Set the cider mills going, and the
huge enameled evaporating pans.
Perhaps cider jelly at twelve cents a
pound will pay you, as there is no
sugar to be used.—Vick’s Maga-
zine.
The experiment has besfo tried by
medical scientists in Southern Spain
of modifying the virulence of chol-
era, and the spread of the disease,
by inocculation with cholera germs,
similar to the methods employed
with small pox. Numerous success-

enthusiasm has been created among
medical m*en on the continent, over
the discovery and steps will be taken
for further experiments on a large

The state of Texas embraces an
area of 374,000 square miles. It is
larger than England, Scotland, Ire-
land and Wales combined. The
eleventh congressional district em-
brases a territory equal to Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Is-
land, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land and Ohio. These states are
represented in congress by sixty one
members and the same area in
Texas is represented by Mr. Lan-
ham. What will be the power of
Texas in congress when she has
population in proportion to the New
England states?

The New York Herald says it is
feared, with good reason, that the
cholera will visit that city this sum-
mer. The Herald has sent- out its
own inspectors to investigate the
sanitary condition of the city and
prints a page report of the result.
The condition of the city, according
to this report, invites the pestilence,
for **k is a picture of the filth, the
disease and death-breeding accumu-
lations, the poverty, vice and misery
of the slums of New York.”
Jim Keene, the California specu
lator who astonished the old heads

the Ynagnitude of his ventures, went
to the wall two years ago, and set-

Some of tiiesc notes he is yet unable
to pay, but he is yet hopeful of
trieving his fortunes. His courage
apparently inspires confidence, for
he recently assured a reporter that
his creditors arc not

The last issue of tha Denison
Sunday Gazetteer takes up four
columns in describing a big ball at
Denison, giving names, styles of
dress, color of dress and the kinds
of trimming on each of all the at-
tendants present. About two col-
umns of explanation, telling who
blacked the boots of the gentlemen,
and from whom all the finery was
purchased—would have added amaz-
ingly tet the interest of that article.
—-Bonham News.
As we have never engaged exten-
sively in boot blacking we decline
the latter explanation in favor of our
esteemed contemporary, the News,
feeling that from a long practical
experience the subject will come
nearer receiving justice.
About a week ago a man and two
children came to this town broke.
He claimed that his wife had de-ert-
ed him and taking pity on him Mr.
Peter>on at the depot took them
home, fed them and secured their
pa»sage to Denison. On Saturday
a woman arrived al-o without moil
ey on the lookout for a runaway hus-
band, and a description tallied ex-
actly with the man. On hearing her
story the railroad boys made up a
pur>e to help her on to Denison
where she went, and we hope before
this time sh£ has overtaken the
“pardner of her joys.”-—Indian
Journal.
Next time help them on the other
way. Enough of such characters
find their way here unaided, only to

ployment on the streets.
Another

If there is a Republican postmas-
ter in Texas that ought to have been
promptly removed it is* James P.
Newcomb at San Antonio. He is
a violent partisan and has always
been extremely obnoxious to the

On Monday afternoon Sheriff
Ragsdale of Fannin county, and a
man named Buchanan were shot
while attempting to arrest a band of
desperadoes, Sam and Eli Dyer
being the principal ones. These
men are wanted for several offenses,
among them; stealing cattle and for-
feiting bonds. Sheriff Ragsdale
hearing they were some 9 miles
south of Bonham started with 40 or
50 men to make their arrest. They
located them in a pasture belonging
toYlr. Buchanan. They were in a
small house, which the sheriff, Mr.
Buchanan and one other man ap-
proached to make the arrest. Mr.
Ragsdale opened the door and called
on them to surrender. The response
made the brave man was the crack
of a Winchester. The hall entered
his head, behind the ear. Another
shot front within took effect in his
bowels, and the brave man stagger-
ed, but did not fall until a charge
from his own weapon had brought
his murderer, Eli Dyer, to the
ground. The outlaw then rushed
out, firing on Buchanan, breaking
his leg above the knee. Sheriff
Ragsdale only lived a short while,
dying before the doctors arrived.
Dyer’s wounds arc not necessarily
fatal.

by two great broods of locusts of the
seventeen and thirteen year varie
ties. This will be the first time in

conjunction. They will not prove
greatly destructive and the injury
they will inflict will probably be con-
fined to the fruit trees. The visita-

During the recent visit of the vet-
erans of the Mexican war, to New

“General Grant never Hisulted me
nor any other Confederate officer—
I regret I cannot say as much for

THE
EXCITEMENT IN
P0LITI08.
EUROPEAN
WILlilAM E. GLADSTONE.
Prime Minister of England-
Mr. Gladstone was appointed
Prime Minister of England, on
April 3S, 1SS0. He assumed the
office of Chancellor of the Excheq
uer on the same day, but resigned
this position December 16. 1SS2
His strength in the higher position
has hitherto baffled all attempts of
the Parliamentary opposition to oust
him. He stands high in the estima
tion of the masses of the people
whose political rights he has recently
enlarged by tl>c admission of about
two million new voters. In his
foreign policy he has possibly been
less fortunate. While he loves
peace the necessity of fighting has
been thrust upon him. There is no
question, however, in the mind of
both Liberals and Conservatives,
that in the event of a great European
war, which, as the conduct of ne-
gotiations between England and
Russia thus far indicates, he would
undertake reluctantly, he would pur-
sue it with due energy and spirit. To
him was given by the House of
Commons recently the unprecedented
compliment of a vote of credit for
an enormously large amount of
money, without a division, or even
the speck of opposition. An unsur-
passed oratorical effort on his part
preceded this most remarkable tri-
umph of personal greatness and
statesmanship.
William Ewart Gladstone was
horn December 29, rSog, the son of
a Liverpool merchant. He was
educated at Eton and ChristChurch,
Oxford, and graduated a double
first-class man. He began his Par
liamentary career as long a^Jb as
1S32, when he was an enthusiastic
member of the Tory, now generally-
called the Conservative party. After
holding a variety of inferior ap-
pointments from time to time, in
1S6S he became Prime Minister, and
so continued until 1874. He has
been a Liberal, perhaps about thirty
years. The growth of his broaden-
ing convictions has been slow and
almost unappreciable as regarded
for a short period of time. His
most radical measure thus far,
namely the disendowment and dis-
establishment of the Irish Church,
was passed in 1870. Two land bills,
intended to ameliorate the condition
of the peasant-farming class of Ire-
land, have been originated and
passed by him.
Mr. Gladstone Was married in
1S39, to the eldest daughter of Sir
Stephen Glynne, Bart. She is still
living.
The Special Election Result* ia a Sweep-
ing Victory for Ex-Mayor Roger
L. Fulton.
The special election held at Gal-
veston on the nth in-t., for mayor,
resulted in an overwhelming victory
for the supporters of Hon. Roger L.
Fulton, whose majority over Jo-eph
Atkins is 825 votes, a* shown from
the complete returns at midnight.
The weather was cloudy and
threatening. Nevertheless every
voter seemed to be out workiug for
lis candidate. No third candidate
appeared on the field* The entire
voting population seemed to be of
one accord, that the fight should be
a square stand-up and knock-down,
o to speak, between Fulton and
Atkins. Neither side would tolerate
a third candidate. The total vote
polled was 5S23, of which Fulton
received 3324 and Atkins 2499 The
total vote returned as cast for mayor
at the election held April 6 was 6,-
2*8, which is 395 votes more than
were cast on May ii, notwithstand-
ing every vote in the city seemed to
be requested in the special election
Capt. Fulton received 437 more
votes than the return* gave him in
April, while Mr. Atkins received
474 less votes than he is credited
with having received la>t April.
A ridiculous fracas occurred near
le of the polling places. Two
ephemeral politician* became 1
gaged in a fight and while pounding
each other they suddenly made the
discovery that they were both for the
same candidate. They got up and
locked arms, marching away with
the declaration that they could “lick
any one man on the island.”
A large crowd gathered in front
of the Washington hotel that night
and serenaded Hon. R. L. Fulton,
who responded with a brief speech.
After this the crowd formed in line
and with a brass band marched
through the principal streets of the
city.
An Important Ruling.
A few days since County Collector
Gillespie received from Comptrolle
Swain, of All-tin, in tractions rela-
tive to the sale of home manufactur-
ed wine under the present law rego
lating sale of liquors, which is im-
portant to vendors of this refreshing
drink. The comptroller say-, “That
it has been uniformly held by this
department that a party who rna
factures wine trom grapes raised by
himself, can sell the -arae in
broken package*, without payment
of occupation tax, provided he does
not permit it to be drank on hi
premises ; but if he sells the wine by
the drink he becomes liable for the
tax levied on retail liquor dealers.’
The instructions are further to the
effect that if a party makes wine
from grapes raised by himself and
places in hand* of others for sale, in
|fither jevent tlje rcgi^ar liquo^ deal-
er's tax mu-t be paid. This stops
the sale of wine of every character,
unless the enormous sum of $450
state and county tax is paid, with
the 'ingle exception a* above stated.

The state of Texas seems to have
been visited by a moral epidemic.
A furor has seized the people to war
not only on the gamblers, but on
the saloon men and in some localities
the craze has assumed the form ot a
puritanical interpretation of the Sun-
day law. Such sudden outbreaks
of extreme policy seldom result in
permanent good, as they are almost
invariably .followed by a reaction.
The great trouble with these (so-
called) reformers is that they are
never satisfied with a medium
ground. It is all or nothing with
them Recognizing the evils of
strong drink they would, at one fell
swoop, drive all the ardent spirits
from the state, and force every per-
son to be a tetotaller, something ut-
terly impossible. Reforms to he suc-
cessful must be gradual. Extensive
and sudden changes are not condu-
cive to the public welfare. At pres-
ent probably the high license system
would be the wisest temperance
measure tha* could be adopted, but
unfortunately those who consider
themselves the only genuine and Si-
mon-pure temperance men and wo-
men cannot or will not acknowledge
it. Another class is equally as fanat-
ical on the Sunday question. They
cannot comprehend how it is possi-
ble for anyone to have a different
opinion regarding the first day of the
week from that authorized by the
Christian church. Neither can they
sufficiently comprehend the true
spirit of constitutional liberty which
gives to every person the right to
enjoy life his own way, so long as
he doesn’t interfere with his neigh-
bor doing likewise. The good citi-
zen has as natural right to attend the
theatre on Sunday as the religious
have to attend church. It is simply
a matter of taste, and there is no ne
cessity for any conflict.

CURE FOR PILES.
Piles are frequently proceded by a
sense ot weight in the back, loins and

patient to suppose he has some effection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times, symptoms of indigestion are pres-

ducing a very disagreeable itching, after
getting warm, is common attendant.
Blind, bleeding and etching piles yield at
once to the application of Dr. Bosanko’s
