He made oath that the order was genuine and signed by the father. The next morning he and Miss Logsdon. fourteen years of age, eloped and were married. As soon as the facts were known the girl's father came down and made com plaint against Mr. Young; and he was subsequently arrested and placed under bond to await th" action of the grand jury." Alas!

Stop all this talk, get down to business, ieep out of debt, assist those who may be financially cramped, and in a few months conditions will be again normal. There Is no reason why Texas and her people should be oppressed just because n few wild eyed New York speculators have skin ned each other. Texas and lier re sources are unbounded an empire In the slate's own borders, and there Is no reason why her people should bo railed on to dance to the music of outside capital and resources.
