, , Dr.T, Cummins the phrenologist
is lecturing in Sherman. .
The steamer Tigress, of the Polar-
is expeditions while seal, fishing, ex-
ploded her boiler. Two engineers
and twenty »f the crew ware killed.
The ship is under sail for the port of

The Editor of the Sherman Cou-
rier says be has been informed by
T>r. Freeman that there is a genuine
case of small-pox in the south part ol
that city, in one of the houses of the
Builders Association.
The description given of the three
highwaymen who robbed the Austin
stage a few days since, is said to an-
swer that of two ot the James boys
and McCoy, of Missouri, who have
so often been mentioned in connec-
tion with daring robberies in that
.state.
An Italian named Turner Ardasal,
who murdered the Jett family at Or-
ange, Texas, was taken out of jail
by the enraged citizens and his body
literally riddled with bullets. Ihe
wretch had endeavored to cover up
his crime by burning the dead bod-
ies.

On the night of the 9th, the levee
near Sunflower, Mississippi, urokt
again. The break is said to be one
hundred yards wide, and endangers
the whole of the Sunflower and
Yazoo river bottoms, which art
among the richest in the Mississippi
valley. ____
B. F. Dickerman, an old citizen of

The Courier says that during his
long residence he won, by his up-
right and Christian like life, the es-
teem and affection of all who knew
him, and his loss is universally re-
gretted.
The Sherman Courier publishes
the following dispatch:
Austin, April 9th, 1874.
Thos. W. Randolph :
The University land bill is a law.
The alternate section bill has passed
the House. W. H. Trolinger.
The editor adds:
“The hill called the ‘alternate
section bill,’ which has passed the
House, we understand to be for the
sale of the common school lands,
which are located in conjunction
with the railroad lands—one section
to railroads and one to public
schools.”
The application of electricity tor
the reduction of metals from their
ores has been patented in England.
By regulating the electric current in
a proper manner it is claimed that
east iron, wrought iron, or steel can
be produced directly from the fur-
nace without any intermediate oper-
ations. This puddling by means of
an electric current will occupy from
ten to fifteen minutes only, instead
of tfi eral hours, as in the ordinary
^addling by hand labor or machin-
ery. _
“Ifthis jury conyicts my client,”
said a Missouri lawyer, rolling up
his sleeve* and displaying his pon-
derous fists, “I shall feel compelled
to meet each one and hammer justice
intoMssoul through his head.”

more champagne, and vetirea. H s
room is guarded by being placed j t
the end of a corridor with four doors,
at each of which stands two guards
all night. If he has been pleased to
fancy one of the ladies of the harei, ,
he gives orders to the chief cun, h
while viewing them disporting in
the bath, and he finds her waiting,
standing, on his arrival in his cham-
ber. She must stand until he is in
bed, with her hands folded before
her. Then she must disrobe, and
lift the bed-clothes from the foot of
the bed and crawl in. She cannot
enter by any other means, as that
would not be showing sufficient re-
spect to this descendent of Mahomet.
Although the Sultan is generally
suuposed to have a thousand or
more wives, he has but nineteen
women in his harem in reality, and
properly speaking not one wife. Ac-
cording to even Turkish rites, he has
never been married at all. As to the
women being unhappv in the im-
perial liarern, it is safe to say that
there is not a native woman in Con-
stantinople, be she Greek, Armenian
u Turkish, who would not feel her-
elf honored by being selected by the
Padishah. There was a very hand-
some young English woman who
went to the harem, and after seeing
and talking with the women there,
deliberately waylaid the Sultan in
one of the rooms, and, casting her-
self at his feet, begged to be taken
as one of his wives. The Sultan de-
clined.

Mrs. Livermore is now lecturing
against the evils of tight lacing. She
is right. If a girl wants her waist
squeezed, she ought to employ some
reliable young man for the purpose.
Our experience is that 110 young
man with any pretensions to relia-
bility would, when thus employed,
tor a single moment neglect his bus-
iness.
