Education is a term having a broad
meaning but it is generally used in n con-
tracted sense as when it is employed to
indicilu simply school teaching. Mrs.
Oroy I itely read a paper beforo tho Biitisli
Association for tho Advancement of Pci-
cuie in which shogave education its full
meaning defining it ns "tho external direc-
tion given to the growth and development
of the whole human being phjsiial moral
and Intellectual from infancy to maturity
and the training of all tho faculties so as to
get the best work out of them and enable
him to make the best of himself under liio
ciicunistances of his life." Education of
of thin kind Is not confined to school honsci
and in fact may be largely carried on with-
out their aid. Such was the education
which made John liartam tho first Ameri-

to have taid in his iceeiit speech
there that he held in contempt min
who greedy after pilfer and gain
sycophantly mum! Jor paidon and
bowed to their contiucior-s in older
to have their piopurty and mulco
money out ot the Government.
Such men were unwoithy the name
of men. Firnt came tho Thir
teenth Amendment and they bowed
and submitted : then the Four
teenth and they bowed and btib-
mitteU1 tlien came tlio Fifteenth
and the bowed and submitted j then
military dictators and bayonets and
thoy bowed anil submitted. He
never had bowed and submitted j he
never would j he acquiesced be-
cause it was law because he could
not help himself j but he would
submit no longer than ho could
help it. He w.u a lebel and
gloried in the name. He haled the
Yankees when he voted for seces-
sion and he hated them ten times
worse now He never would wil-
lingly submit to their tyrannic op-
pressions. He never had bowe t to
their demands. In truth he never
would have surrendered; he weul.
have continued tho war; he never
would have surrendered at Anno

defied Ins enemies till death!

and despondency ainon the many
patriotic men of the country Abra
ham Lincoln never for a moment
doubted but the final result would
bo in favor of peace and ficedom
to every race in this broad land
His faith in an all-wise Provi
deuce directing our armies to this
final result was the faith of the
Christaiu that his Redeemer liv-
cth. Amidst obloquy personal abuse
and hate undisguised and which
was given vent to without lestraint
through the press upon the stump
and in piivatc circles he remained
the same staunch unyielding ser-
vant of the people never exhibit-
ing a lcvcngcful feeling toward his
tradueerSjbut he rather pitied them
and hoped for their own sake and
the good name of their posterity
that they might desist for a single
moment.
It did not occur to him that the
man Lincoln was being assailed
but that a tieasonuble spirit was
waiting to destroy the finest gov-
ernment the sun ever shone on ;
was giving vent to itself on him
as chief executive of the nation
and only because he was such ex-
ecutive. As a lawyer in your midst he
would have avoided all this -dander
for his life was a pure and simple
one and lie no doubt would have
been a much happier man; but who
can tell w hat might have been the
fate of the nation but for the pine I
unselfish and wie adminihliation
of Abiaham Lincoln from Maich
18GI to the day when the hand of
an aS'jJafein opened a grave tor Air.
Lincoln the president of the Uni
ted States?
My personal relations with him
were as intimate as the nature of
our respective duties would.permit.
.to know him personally was ro
love and lesneci him for his srrrat
qualities of head and heart and for
ins patience and patriotism. With
all his disappointments fiom (he
failures on the liait ot those to
whom he had entiti-tcd command.
lo tieiehery on the part of thoec
W"o had gamed his confidence but
to hi tiay it 1 never heaid him ut-
ter a complaint not the least cen-
sure for their bad conduct or bad
faith.
It was his nature to find excuses
for his adveisaries. In his death
the nation lost its gi cutest head;
in his death the South lost its most
just friend.
One of the most daring laids has
again been made into the very cen-
ter of our county by Indians or
thieves. The herd of hordes of Don
Guadalupe Asearate which were
feeding upon the plain about fifteen
miles from town between the river
nnd Organ mountains numbering
about thitty animals were driven
off on Thuisday or Friday last.
The hei dem thought they had stray-
ed away and spent some time in
looking for them before they gave
the alarm so that the thieves had
at least two days start.' We under-
bland the trail led through the gap
below Soledad and then in the di-
rection of the Stanton reservation
but as the plain is at least sixty
miles wide there is no certainty in
which direction the tiail turned.
Mr. Aseaiate piojurcd arms and
took a lot of men with him in pur-
suit. We hope he may overtake
and recover his property and puu-
ish tho thieves but we fear he was
too far behind.
A strong idea is entertained that
there is a largo gang of thieves now
in this section fiom Mexico und
that the may have committed the
theft at any rate we hope our au-
thorities may ferret the matter
closely.
Liter- -Mr" Asearate has return-
ed unsuccessful from tho pursuit.
The tr.iil was followed up on the
east side of tho Organ mountains
to San Andres canon. Hero it cross-
ed to tho west side and led across to
San Diego on the river. From this
point it led to a camp a short dis-
tance where the thieves seemed to
have had a camp for several 'days
and whero more horses had been
brought in. From this camp the
tiail led Inward the Florita Moun-
tains and the pursuit was given up.
Mr. Pino's hoises at Sinta Barbara
wore stolen and taken olf and the
horses stolen from near Dona Ana
were pi ninthly collected into the
same livid ft is a common impres-
sion t at the thieves were Apaches

Tho Wonderful Convenience of
London London impressed mc.ns
it did when I was hero beforo with
ils vastnes-. I have ridden miles
and miles through its streets and
yet icci mat jl nave seen uoiiuug
of it. Go where you will and yon
6ccm never to got to tho end. We
liavobeen incessantly busy from
morning until night and the ag-
gregate of what wo have seen
amounts to a great deal but it is so
small compared with what remains
to bo seen that it seems hardly
worth mentioning. I find every-
where very great conveniences for
getting about tho city. Americans
are not accustomed "to "Hansom"
riding and many really intelligent
people with Us do not know what it
means. Whenever you triay be in
London you will see a carriage
tonstrueted very much like our
chai-eoftwo wheels with a seal

ed thatj id n. i In I is above
tho top oTthe r i mitlie reins
pass ovoi thi mpti Hf molds and
the pii.Miu or pu-onh. ljdinsf' have
an unob-truote ! uv of .iihat is
before them. You can always get
one of these cat ri.iges fora very
moderate charge a -liilliitg for two
miles which divided between two
makes a sixpence a little more
than twelve emits apiece as the
hansom cairics two passengers.
With such really delightful and
cheap transpoi lation noi wonder
such multitudes ol people ride
And then if you wi-h to he a little
more democratic mount to the top
of an omnibus where you will find
a conifoi table cushioned scat and
from your lofty look-out yon will
see a e'reat many things which will
escape your observation if you are
inside. For a long ride in this
way of tin ec or four miles you
will he charged two or three pen-
nies. For a sum equally small
you may ride for miles in the un-
derground railway which will take
the passenger in dilT'cront directions
beneath the streets of the very
heart of the great -city. London

There is a good deal of backing
down resj ecting the intimations re-
gaiding the fair name of Miss Edna
Dean Proctor. In an interview
with her counsel Mr. Moulton
manifested consideidble uneasiness
and endeavored to shelter himself
behind the fact of not haying men-
tioned the lady's name in his slate-
n2?rtl !2xtL S'1SC f '"? sudden
tmitlelpnesTiVjuTnioleaking out.
It seems Miss Proctor has1 found
an able defender in a biotlier an
officer in the regulur army who has
been down on the frontier tor the
past seven years and it is said has
shot moie Indians than any man in
the service. This formidable cham-
pion has ai lived in season to pro-
tect his si-tcr from further slander
and says if she has any fighting to
be done hvVk on hand to do it. All
his brother officers are urging him
to bloody retaliation and it was as-
seited yesterday moinmu on a ru-
mor that he had oinc to JXew York
not only Mi. M(' n but the en-
tire Graphic s'lii . eluding tho

A Colorado Colony.
A largo number of colonists al
together about 1000 families 100
of them belonging to Noithein
Illinois will leave Chicago for Den
ver on the lGlh of October. It is
proposed to colonize in a large
valley twenty-five miles by seventy
five near where the Grand River
empties into the Coloiado about
300 miles from Salt Lake City
and 2C0 from Denver. Mr. Peter
Shirts enthusiast on the subject of
colonizing is founder of the enter-
prise and gives a glowing descrip-
tion of the colony site. The streams
he says are full offish the moun-
tains of game and over 100 bushels
of wheat can be easily raised to the
acre. He further says there is no
necessity of irrigation and nn
abundance of hard wood timber is
at hand. Ho tells tho colonists
that they will find n market for all
the produce they can raise in the
San Juan Mines. According to
Mr. Shirts the thermometer never
falls below forty-five- and never
goes above ninety and the snow
never fulls to stay. He is in fir'or
of perfect religious independence
among Ins colonials una is evident-
ly vcry confident tho proposed
scheme will piovc a success.

The Belton Journal sayB :
Several gentlemen from California
are now in our county looking for
homes. They represent this as
being a much better country than
the far-famed land of gold and fit:
tress. They are of the opinion that
any one who will work will find
more gold here than in California.
The Navasota Tablet says :
On our way to and from Anderson
last Wednesday wo noticed a great
deal of the snowy staple in the
fields and farmers busily engaged
in picking it. If the fair weather
should continue for a short time
longer our people will have but
little cause to complain of the short
yield of cotton. The late crop has
opened finely and except in fields
that have been recently picked the
stalks seem literally covered with
beautiful white bolls inviting the
farmer to ' take them in out of the
weather.'
Last Sunday night there was
quite a scene at a colpred Baptist
Church in South it-fikvasota. The
parson was proceeding orderly and
with becoming solemnity in marry
ing a couple when he came to the
part 'If any person present knows
of any reason why theeo two should
not be united in the holy bonds of
matrimony let him speak now or
forever after hold his peace' and
repeated it the second time; the
breathless silence of tho largo con-
gregation was rudely broken by an
elderly black woman rising up und
crying out 'Yes I idjects to dis
wcddiu' ; kase dut man been liviu'
wid mo and he promise to marry
me' all tho time she was marching
tumidly and in an aggressive man-
ner to where tho bridal party stood
' and he owes me money too and I
idjects.' Here sho confronted the
gay deceiver and hit him two ter-
rible dills right in his mouth
making tho blood fly und knocking

stout ' bruddcr Listed her outen do
door in a jifly' when tho parson
proceeded to complete the nuptials
in spite of her forcible protest. As
tho newly wedded pair were leav-
ing the church tho bride spoke out
in a loud and bantering tone 'I'm
one of de blue hen's chickens and
if you wants anything out of honey
you jis come to me and I'll satisfy
you!" I'm ono of do blue hen'e

Tho Hill county Expositor
says? Tlio weather during tho
week lias been very favorable for
(cotton picking. A good dcalof
wheat is being sowed Pity it
could not have been done sooner
but the cotton is always in the wny.
No improved system of farming
can bo introduced in n cotton grow-
ing section no advancement made
in tho soicnco of ngriculture. Wc
mean of course whero cotton is
tho chief staple. If tho rotary sys-
tem ol farming wns introduced nnd
farina divided into four or five
fields the cultivation of cotton
could bo mado both pleasant and
profitable.
-The Sherman Courict says :
Grayson comity took two cotton
premiums at the St. Louis Fair
the first 500 and firth 50 both
to W. B. McShan of Grayson.
The second 300 was awarded to
H. S. Randall of Fannin who got P
' ' 4
tho premium last year T. Bond
of Dallas got the third $200 and
W. H. H. Morris of Dallas thq
fourth $100. Thus North Texas
vindicates her cotton producing
capacity. Tho sweepstako prem
ium was taken by A. Kellogg of
Louisiana. Col. A. Cate of Pun'
who was chairman of the awarding
committee says this was the finest
bale of cotton he ever saw
-s-Tho Bryan Appeal says : In
1841 thotenitory composing Bra-
zos county was known as Nnvasota
county. The first term of court
ever hold in the county was on the
4th day of March 1841 and it was
convened tinder a tree nt the residence-'
of James Ferguson on tho
Navazota river j Judgo II. E. B.
Baylor presided and Henry J.
Jcwett was Dist. Attorney Elliott
M. Millican Sheriff" and James D.
Overton Clerk. The only case on
the docket was John F. Graves vs.
Eli Chandler for debt. Tho plain-
tiff not appenf ing the case was dis-
missed for want of prosecution. A
Grand Jury was empaneled by
Judge Baylor but no bill of indict-
ment was found by them. At' that
time the county had scarcely one
hundred inhabitants and itH con
fines reached far into the distant
wilds whero
"Tlio reil man of tlio forest wooed nnd won
liis dusky bride"
Henry J. Jcwett afterwards be-
-oatno Jntlgo ofrtho Dkh'iot Court
which office he filled with distin-
guished ability but afterwards be-
came deranged and died in tho city
of New York. Elliott M. Millican
represented the county iu the first
Legislature of Texas and1 also died
of insanity some years afterward.
James D. Overton lives in Milam
county nnd is tho only living offi
cial of the first court of the county.
Thirty three years have passed and
have left their marks of progrcse.
In every part of the county fine
farms orchards schools and chur-
cher greet the eye while Milican
and Bryan its principal towns re-
sound to the voice ot many thous-
and busy and energetic citizens.
Such is the progress of Braxos
county while the watchword of
Texas is empire.
In tho church nf St. Nioholas.in
the town of Lynn England is the
tomb ot Komuson urusoo. xt is
just inside tho iouth porch. His
laitlilul companion is there too so
it is generally believed as the stone
reads that Mr. Crusoe was buried
on Friday. His son is now doing
a flourishing business in selling
coal. His name is Robinson It
is a pretty steep come down from
an entire island to a coal yurd.
A Georgia paper thus catalogues
the merits of u candidate for Con-
gress: "Ho is well formed nnd
highly impregnated with neivous
ganglia ; he has a mysterious sunset
sombre about his face ; his eyes
have a dreamy sparkliness thai en-
chant like amulets nnd his entire
organization consists of a delicate
telegraphic network that transmits
the nervous fluid like lightning
throughout his wholo system"
Watch' Manufactory atS in Fran-
cisco. Tho Call says : "Soii)o
months ago Mr. Putil Cornell a
watch manufacturer of Chicago
camoto this city for the purpose of
ascertaining the adaptability of tho
climate of San Francisco for the
purpose of watch making. On Mon-
day last a company was incorpora-
ted under the title of the Cornel)
Watch Co. lo manufacture watches
watch eases etc. The capital stock
amounts to 300000 and the slock
holders are Putil Cornell John Pur-
rotl William Norri Peter Dona-
hue and Oliver Eldridge. Tho ma-
chinery in Mr Cornell's establish-
ment at Chicago will bo removed to
this city as soon us possible in or-
der to commence operations beforo
winter. The manufactory will fur-
nish employment to about 300 pcri
sons." '
"Why do you use paint?" aalteit .?
a violinist of liin daughter. "For-w'
the same reason that you use robin . "
papa." ''How is that?" "Why to " f
lielp mo ro draw my beau."
