THE ECONOMIES OF A SYSTEM.
We publish a rather lung letter,
frQift a gentleman who has studied
e question carefully, on the subjwt
of fm schools, or, more properly, a
free rx-hools. Profiifisor Hogg, the
writer, i. not unknown in Texas, and
his devotion to the cause of education
nhould lead at least to a careful peru
sal of hi letter. Tlwt fiM't that he lie
long to m hcIiooI of educators
who would establish n showy
ayateiri, one with htwts of salaried ofli
ciala, h being one of these superin
tendent who lately Hubscribed to the
ilaldwin greatest educational thow
cn earth, leads us to take what he
presents with mu;li allowance, to
even fear that he warp his argument
to apply to the system presented. Of
eourae we are r'vidy to admit
that the system, as it in. is
lad; that through it too much
money is diverted from the children
and given as perquisite to individu
als; that there .- a very loose w;iy
about the whole affair; but the very
same objection applies to what U pre
sented as .1 aystem in thi letter. He
propose too many high susiarW offi
cials, nt daring, however, t present
in full the plan sulscrile1 to at
Houston. lie would spend about
three times as much as
is now expendisl ou management
and red-tapeism, and this is why the
Statesman dH's not endorse his plan.
while it presents what he has to say
in its favor. We might iu this coun
try learn a lesson from a little repub
lic that has had its existence for so
many years amid the freedom inspir
ing wene of (Yntral Kurope.
Mont Hlanc, in all its heavenly gran
deur, looks down ujton a little eon
federation, whose people, catching In
spiration probably from the vaulted
skicts that bring them nearer to Thee,
declare that public service has no con
nection with sordiduess. In Switzer-
ISWt
;d public officials serve the people
free of charge; there is no per diem
pay for tneinliera of the canton coun
cils, nor is there for those of the con
federation. Executive, ndniiniHt ra
ti ve and legislative officers
?veu the commander of the armies of
Switzerlaud, serve without pay, and
the little republic is respected, lecause
of ita purity of government, by even
the monarchical head of Europe.
Surely we could learn something of
unijpjroiu the swiss repunnc.
llere a free school f uud cannot be dis
tributed without paying tribute to In
dividuals at every turn. Here the
official must live off even fund, no
matter if the cause of education
suffer. This professor shows that a
large sum of money now goes iu every
county to officials and placemen, and
he wants in their stead a special of
ficer to be employed on a trebled or
quadrupled sum to make the educa
tion system moro of a glitter. We pre
seut his argument because there may
be something suggestive in it, because,
we do not desire to disregard idl sug
gestions not in favor of a simpler and
more inexpensive system. He is right
in one thing placing the control of
the schools near home; but there
should be enough of patriotism among
our people to extend control
UU'DUL sipping the very
existence of the schools. What we
wish to tiee the legislature apply itself
to, is a more efficient and at the same
time an. economical system. The
llaldwin pageant, even modified by
Professor Hogg, will not do.
When public money is diverted
from puiiosea of government
for what many regard a necessity we
jyould see it doneJij -traTSuer spe-ciaTry-appIicable
to the purpose, not
that officers may grow fat while chil
dren are defrauded of that which ia
d onated to them. '

This week we have with us the Chid
Fellows and the cattle men, to say
nothing of the august body of law
makers that deliberate from day to
day in the temporary capitol. The
tlrxt named are representatives of
probably the greatent lenevolent order
in the state, one" that has grown
iu inllueuce and power until the good
works of (Kid Fellowship stand out
as a most prominent feature of soci
ety iu every part of the state. These
men now assembled here are repre
sentative members of the great
order to xvhich they belong,
and nothing bespeaks mor?-"" per
fectly the dignity anOofidity of the
onler.ia';X'jiaa than the standard of
0 vilizenship personated in these dele
. gates to the grand lodge. They will
remain iu Austin for three or four
days, and every civility and atten
tion is due them on the
part of our people. The other body,
which convenes to-day. is composed
of men representing more wealth
than any other similar organization
in the south or. .-outhwest.
They are mainly the cattle . kings of
Texas, representing more live stock
than any other similar body ou the
lace of the globe. The cattle of these
men a. e scattered from the gulf coast
to the British Araericau border; they
supply the markets of the world
with meat, . and on their suc
oetis depends the happiness of
millions of people. But while
the cattle men are prominent, in this
IhhIv, it must lie remembered that a
heep interest amounting to ten mill
ions of sheep is also represented. The
body is immense in representative
wealth. and U-cause of this
and the especial intelligence of
the individual members of
this IkhIv, the conclave deserves
especial notii'. The peopleof Austin
have a right to feel honored in the
presence uf those t wo bodies of men,
;ml what it is passible to do in mak
ing the stay of our visitors agreeable
and pleasant should be done.
The statesman is satisfied that if
1 hese school superintendents who met

J5;Udwin plan, had their own way
svith the school money, fully ono-half
it would bo paid in salaries to these
-.ime superintendents and other fa

a POPULAR PLEDGE.
The Democratic platform speaks in
nowise equivocally upon the subject
of endowing the state university. It
says:
U. We declare that a liberal provis
ion should be made to endow with the
public lands set apart for the payment
of the public debt or the proceeds of
the sales of the same the state uni
versity and its branches, but in no
use should anv portion of the com
mon school land- or fund be-used for
that purpose. We further declare
that the debts due the university and
common school funds of Texas, de
nominated as of doubtful validity.
should be recognized and paid, with
the interest due thereon.
Here we have the direct pledge
in behalf of endowing this
g'-eat institution of learning, which
must, if properly endowed, be
come one of the grandest iu America.
The constitutional provision forauni
versitv is that it shall be a -T insti
tution of learning for iV thof
Texas: that at its fountains of learn
ing uotonly the rich hut the poor may
diink. and drink freely, of that
which elevate and ennobles man;
that the Texas boy, who craves higher
learning, shall not have schools of sci
ence and philosophy closed against
him. but that in his own stae he may
find them open and able to aid
la his search after- knowledge.
Th' constitution makers made
this pledge. nd 'he Democrats
of "Texas, ucinc this const it u
tlonal promis" ignored, entered the
breach bet ween wavering legislatures
and the people and solemuly pledged
the power of the Demrcracy of Texas
to ih Rocomplishuient f the end
aimed at. Thi one act of the Democ
raov entitles it to the tasting
gratitude of a people, and now it be
hoves the agents selected by these
people, on pledges made by them, to
provide for the university make it
what the constitution declares it shall
be. To raise the university to what it
should lie, to give it standing among
the Institutions of the world, it is
nessary.that it at once be endowed
with au annuity of at least 8125,000.
To make the endowment less would
be to sav to the regents that they
shall not employ first class' professors,
that they shall not start with
men in charge of the
schools of the university with
capiicity to place it alongside the uni
versity of Virginia, beside John Hop
kins and Harvard, and Yale, and the
other great educational institutions,
but that they ehull employ ordi
nary men, that they shall have or
dinary appliances, and thereby make
that which should be tirst a second, a
third, or even a fourth or fifth rate in
stitution under the false name of uni
versity. The reasons for the plank in
the Democratic platform are obvious.
From the beginning of the creation
of a (constitution for Texas the ne
cessity for a state university has been
recognized by our const itution makers,
and the people have ut successive
elections ratified what was so promised.
Now the Democracy has promised
to make good the oft repeated doc
trine, and it remains for the governor
and the legislature, the chosen agents
for the execution of this pledge, to act
Delay has been heretofore most
dangerous, and hence the move
should be made at once. That it will
be we do not doubt. Gov. Ireland and
a majority of the legislature are not
made of such stuff as ruthlessly to
break the pledges upon which they
hav leen chosen to office.
Tun state may commit a great error
in tixing the minimum price upon
school land, for there are plenty of
lands iu Texas not worth one iljlkt 1
per acre. We believe in obtaining the
highest price possible" for lanrls and
thej ofore .they should be sold to
Uu highest bidder. If the minimum
pricw is fixed at two dollars per acre,
then the state should provide for
twenty or thirty year leases for lands
that cannot be used for other than
gracing purposes.
W bl L, if there are not strong lobbies,
with memtiers in legislative seats as
well as not in them, then we beg ex
cuse, and assert that if they not lob
bies they more nearly resemble them
thau anything seen in these
parts for a good many years.
William and Mary Collkok, one
of the first institutions of learning es
tablished in this country, is now with
out a president The fact goes to show
what there may be in such an institu
tion without an endoXment.
LoBWi most severely condemned,
a"ud yet the very first lobby work
done in the eighteenth legislature was
by a preacher. Seeing this the others
"lit in and the thing is said to move
lively.
Wk publish a communication on
compulsory vaccination, which must
certsunly be pleasing to the governor,
no matter how much the "political"
plan is condemned by the people.

To the Editor of The SUtesioau:
The president of the United States
has for a cabinet the secretaries of
state, of war. of the treasury and of
the navy. These are the proper titles
of these officials. They are a cabinet
council for the president When af
terwards the department of agricul
ture was organized the term commis
sioner was adopted. When later still
a bureau of education was in
augurated, the head of this
was called commissioner of education;
and the reasons are obvious these
departments are not so closely allied
to the government as " the secreta
ries," but are destinct and separate.but
co-ordinate, in their verv nature. So
for this department of the state foot

appellation would be proper. That it
is the proper title for such an officer
for such a trust as the control and
management of the education of
ONE MILLION OF TEXAS CHILDREN',

dianshipof him is. also, expected a

In so urge, and in a state of such va
ried interests, as Texas, there should
be added t wo associates, so that while
one of the three should alwavs be
in the office at Austin, the other two
should canvass the state visit the
counties, inspet the schools and te
eome personally acquainted with
THE COUNTT SUPERINTENDENTS.
The duties of this department are
very different from those of the exec
utive. The governor draws to the
capital iHTsons having business with
him, 1'ciiium; theirs is a pecuniary orV"
some ixTsoual interest. But the'

he is their co-laborer in the work of
educating their children. Such a duty
and sucn a wort requires a man 01
more than ordinary ability and ad
minirttrativetact; requires as much of
a maa in this department as any other
connected with the state affairs; re
quires much more power and discre
tion than can be found or expected in
a mere "secret iry of the loard of edu
cation." I feel very confident that the
eighteenth legislature thinks just so
too; and the only difference of opinion
is as to how this reform or change in
our public school system csa le
brought about.

I think each' organized county
should have, if desired,
A COCNTT SUPERINTENDENT.
I say superintendent here for the
rcuton'that his duty will be to super
intend, to supervise, the real work of
the teachers, to see that the system is
administered iu all its provisions.
To do this he will necessarily have to
come in close contact with the people,
wiil have to know them and their
nerd. The only objection raised to
this feature seems to be the increa-jed
expense.
L-t us see: We cannot do away
with the assessor or collector of the
taxes. The collector pays over to the
treasurer, w-ho get? one per cent
for handling, whether county
or fohool fund. The county of
Tarrant, in round ntimliers. has a
school apportionment of $12,000. On
this the treasurer gets for merely
handling sending to Austin on
per cent, or SI 30.
The county judge (acting superin
tendent) gets 30 on the lirst $1000.
and S10 on each additional 91000; so
h g-ts?lrt0. These two receive of
the fund 828
There are three examiners, who get
for each applicant examined, g.tOO,
paid bv applicant
Now Tarrant county has ninety
school communities, which mean
ninety teachers examined but for the
argument, say seventy-five. For this
work the examiners get 8233. Add
this to the $280 and we have S505,
This live hundred and five dollars is
jaid to individuals not one ot whom

guardianship of the 3474 children (of

all other matters have oeen attended to,
A superintendent who should give
all ot ma time and his oest experience
as an educator should be selected, and
an additional amount of money be
added to the $505 so as to make his
salarv commensurate with his labors
and Utness for such work.
Let him receive the school monev
of the county directly from the col
lector through a bank in the county,
and in turn let it be paid out to his
teachers upon their signing a simple

him, and left at the bank, or persons
authorized to pay over this money

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
To the Editor of the Statesman i
One of the subjects suggested by
Gov. Ireland I n his late message to
the legislature was that of compulsory
v:tccination. In making this sugges
tion, although coming from a man in
the governor's position, even a sugges
tion is naturally given and entitled to
more weight than one would be from
an individual who had not been en
trusted and selected by a people to
hold a prominent position as their
counsellor. Mr. Ireland disclaims any
desire to insist upon his own particu
lar views in this respect even though
he feels earnestly the importance
of the subject As a rule he is "op
posed to paternal governments," but
like everv other rule it has its excep
tions, and this question of vaccination,
he states, is one of the exceptions.
This exception is doubtless caused to
a great extent by the old adage that
"circumstances alter cases," and on
such a subject the maxim most assur
edly does hold good. In considering
the governor's suggestion the "cir
cumstances" both of the time and the
locality, must be borne in mind, and
these circumstances, I venture to say,
all tell in favor of the suggestion.
All students of political economy who
have looked into this question, either
with more than the usual study
and cure, or only glanced at it,
casually, in the course of their read
ing, must lie aware that this subject
in some parts of the world is violently
and strongly opposed; that statistics,
figures and cases innumerable have
been brought to rebut the idea of com
pulsory vaccination being a good. In
this opposition, however, compulsory
vaccination does not stand alone.
Every measure of sanitary reform, or
any other reform, has met with oppo
sition, and we presume always will
do so. Everything that necessitates
a change will always be oppsel. by
its very nature. Many minds are nat
urally conservative; hundreds almost
without knowing it fervently believe
in the it was in the beginning is
now srever shall be, world without
end" .'a, and to such minds anything
in tV --ay of change comes asa sort of
sh" and before they give the subject
.moment's thought on its merits
' , IxsYiiue pro tern pledged to its
position. Again, to thousands any
ta that is uovel-novel either to
duty of the commissioner
themselves individually or to the
world generally is sure to meet with
opposition, and this opposition is
given purely because of the novelty
of the idea proposed, although besides
this idea, and except it, the idea has
not one single condemnatory feature,
but on the contrary appears wueiuii
of excellent things. Compulsory vac
cination to many will be novel, and
for this reason they will feel at fiost
like opposing it but if they desire to
consider the matter fairly must divest
their minds entirely of this prejudice
and balance the merits of the sugges
tion f;iirly and evenly. The objec
tions to compulsory vaccination, or
rather to vaccination itself, are that it
does no good; that it not only does not
prevent smallpox but it introduces
disease of other sorts, and in these
two objections is summed up aliout
all the opposition there is to it. That
they would be amply sufficient is 110
doubt true if they held good. But are
they good objections ? Vaccination,
we 'venture to say, is philosophical
and founded on the comnionest of
common sense. The humaif body is
apt to engender disea.se trom various
causes. Much of this disease could
and can be prevented by keeping the
stomach clean and the bowels open;
but. as too frequently is the case.
both these preventives are neglected
and the disease grows deeper till it
gets well settled in the blood or sys
tem. Nature tries to throw this on"
often through the minor skin dis
eases and frequently succeeds. But
there are certain poisons in the
blood that will not he ousted in
this mild way. and smallpox is
one of them. The physician, to cope
with this, tries a counter-irritant, or
he tries to attract the poison to one
snot, and the phuosophv ot this may
be seen in the very simple experiment
of rubbing the arm or body in one
particular spot or in any other fric
tion that will attract the attention of
the nerves or blood, as it were, to one
locality. So it is with the virus ot
smallpox. If a person is vaccinated
or inocultated. the poison is attracted
to the particular spot, and there finds
by rupture an outlet, and through
this outlet flow the poison particles,
and the body becomes cleansed. That
is the whole matter put simply and
briertv. and we venture the assertion
that the position is sound and logical,
ami we think unassailable.
Going on, then, to the second ob
jection that vaccination intro
duces disease. At times this is un
doubtedly true, but it is true
because "the operation is performed
wit h impure vaccine matter, and never
true where the vaccine is pure lymph
from the cow or calf. I never yet
have heard of a case where disease
was introduced where the lymph was
pure. When children are inocculated
from other children, no matter how
apparently healthy they may look,
there is a danger of lurking disease
bring introduced; and it stays in the
system because its nature is different
from that of the disease being treated.
This, and only this, is why vaccina
tion ever introduces disease; and, as '
have before stated, this introduction
is not liecause of vaccination, but
because it is not rightly performed
with the proper vaccine matter. The
two objeetions then, it will be seen, are
really not serious in a country like
Texas, where pure vaccine is not
difficult to obtain, and if ordinary care
is taken. This ordinary care being
taken, vaccination becomes not only
not risky, but an absolute blessing,
both to individuals and communities,
It is common sense that a person who
has been cleansed of small-pox impur
ities is less liable to catch the disease
than one who has not. I am not, how
ever, of the opinion of the common
believers in vaccination, that one op
eration in a lifetime is enough. It is
said that the entire person is changed
once in seven years, and at the end of
every seven years there is not one sin
gle particle remaining in the body of
that body or the -seventh previous
year. If this be true it would seem
that vaccination should be performed
more than once in an average lifetime.
and l think that at various periods
of time the operation should be
repeated according to the tempera
ment and constitution of the subject.
Then, again, the circumstances of the
location, etc, of Texas would Ik; a
reason why vaccina'ion compulsory
should become A i;tw. The stwfcw is
exposed to the inroads of the disease
from every side by immigrants and
infected matter, coming in from other
countries. Texas is an asylum for the
poor of the world. We welcome
them here, as a state where they can
get homes, and we throw open the
roads ot the suite ana invite au to
come and welcome, Now it is well
understood fact by the very nature of
poverty that the poor are more liable
to be neglected, and do become so by
their poverty in every respect. The
rich have money and means to care
for themselves, and are cared for bet
ter than the poor. This of itself
Is a powerful argument for
compulsory sanitary laws. One in
fected case may poison a whole com
munity, and thrt community a whole
people. Infectious diseases are .like
prairie fires; they begin in jaSb little
spot, but they devastate' the whole
country. A GCInm unity has as much
rigtVlt)' enforce compulsory vaccina
tion (properly done) as it has to en-
torce arainage ana general sanitary
laws, and one is as important as the
other. They are both on the same
foundation and lioth of vital import
ance to the IkxIv politic.
Iconoclast.
Blsniurck's Religion and Superstl
tition. The prince's religious principles
have undergone a change. In early
years he inclined toward the philoso
phy of Spinoza and Hegel, but at
present he must be called a pious
man in the purest sense of the word.
He bases his opinions and resolves
upon religion, and considers death as
"janua vitae," but he does not make
friends with an intolerant priesthood.
In many letters to hi-- wife he ex
presses regret at the unbelief of his
younger years, and says that he can
not conceive how any one who will
not believe in (Jod and eternal life
should be able to bear mortal exis
tence. When Bismarck received the
Dauebrog decoration he was obliged
to select a motto for his arms. He se
lected one with a double signification:
"In trinitate robur," that is,
"1 seek my force in
the Trinity," or else in the device of
his family, the three-leaved oak sprig.
During the night which followed the
battle of Sedan and preceded Bis
marck's Interview with Naroleon
III., he read for hours in a prayer
book. In a speech during dinner held
upon a festive occasion, Bismarck de
clared that without his faith in God
he should have given up his post long
ago. He should have been well satis
fied to withdraw from public life and
spend peaceful days in the retired
woods of Varzin, but his duty toward
God made him remain at his post It
was not the desire to oliey his worldly
master, but his heavenly father, that
made him put up with so manv sor
rows and grievances. Maurice Busch
remarks that many of Bismarck's
speeches upon this subject put him in
mind of Oliver Cromwell's sayings.
Generally speaking. Prince Bis
marck is indifferent to the world's
opinion of him, and this gives rise to
the belief that he is adamant in all
things. But he has moments when
his heart softens, and when a melan
choly overcomes him, and for the time
destroys the elasticity of his spirit
He then complains of having fought
in vain, of having spent his life in
idle endeavors, of having failed in al
most everything. One autumn even
ing in 187? he was sitting by the fire
side in a room adjoining the green
bouse of Varzin, and complained bit
terly that his political career had
given him no pleasure and no satisfac
tion. "There is no one who loves me
for it," he said. "It does not make
me popular. I have never made
any one happy in all my long
life, neither myself nor my
family,, nor the nation at large.
His.friends protested against this ac
cusation, but he persisted in saying
that the numbers he had made unhap
py by far exceeded those that he had
made happy. "If it was not for me,"
he said, "the world would have seen
three v ars less, and 80,000 who died in '
their bloom might have lived, and
how many parents, -brothers, sisters.
widows, would haveteen spared their
grief and tears!" And he said all this
in a tone resembling Mamlet hen he
asks. "To be, or not to be?" Bismarck
is a little, superstitious sometimes. He
will not have a battle w hich is as yet
undecided spoken of as if it were won.
He will not sit down to dinner if there
are thirteen. When Gen. Boyer came
to hiin to negotiate in the' name of
Bczaine Bismarck would not resolve
anything of importance because it wi.s
October 14. the date ot llochkirk and
Jena. Then he dislikes Fridays;
will not start on a Friday
nor sign any important document on
that day of the week. When he was
oilered the title of count he het-itated
before accepting it, because many
families in Pomerania, whom it had
been conferred upon, had died out in
a short time. "The little country
can't afford counts," he said. On Xo
vniljer 23, 1870, he was speaking of
his own death, and said that he knew
when it would happen the day of
the month, year and all. His friends
cried out that he must be mistaken,
but he only said, " No. I know it is
a mystical figure." Seven years after
ward he repeated the same date, but
added, "God's will be done, however
in all thing V To one of his minis
ters, who had appeared with his hair
cut, he remarked: "You have cut
your hair in goon time; the inoon is
growing, and that is the right time
for cutting hair and trees. Scientific
p-ople do not believe in the influence
of the moon: but I do. and I feel I am
right".

There have come up for solution
during the brief life of the diet many
grave and momentous problems, and
the gilded roof of the great hall has
often throbbed and shaken under the
violence of debate. The most recent
of the great combats was that be
tween free trade and protection. Its
angrr echoes have not vet wholly
rraM'd to rcsound. But the earliest,
the fiercest and the bloodiest was one
which was only renewed, not begun,
which the historical reader will easily
tiace back to the middle ages the
great national duel between kaiser
and pope, between Ghibelline and
Guelpli, between the just claims of
the state and the arrogant pretensions
ol the church. This struggle, resumed
ten or fifteen years ago, inform the
same, though under conditions
different, united the Catholic depu
ties into the parliamentary centre.
lint it did more than that, liesides si
party, it created the leaders of a party.
ana leaiters who tor eloquence, audaci
ty, adroitness, are the peers ot any
men in the house. The urst of these
far above all rivals, is Windthorst.
Punv in size, almost deformed, ugly
as Socrates, he is an antagonist before
wich the boldest deputies tremble,and
under M-hose assaults even the great
chancellor loses his coolnsss and self
command. As a tactician he is unsur
passed. Starting as the chief of a
small and proscribed faction, he has
built it up to be the most numerous
party in the house, ami, holding the
balance of power, wields it with the
skill which O'Connell made famous in
the house of commons. But he is
something besides a mere wit or par
liamentary athlete. Short, crisp.
pungent retorts are mdeed his
chief arms of controversy, but he
is also a politician of culture and
real statesmanlike ability, and can
discuss public topics from an elevated
intellectual plane, that his success
in serious methods and sustained ef
forts has been less frequently demon
strated may not even lie a fact of his
own preference, though the habit of
his mind suggests such an inference.
It may be and the supposition is
reasonable that the nature of his
task, or at least his views of it, has
imposed another policy upon him as a
tactical necessity: for, cut off as he is
by the character of the relations of
his party from an active share in crea
tive legislation, he is practically con-
uucii uiuie wum 01 L-niicisiu, 01 mere
negative opposition; and this, of
course, is best performed, not by sus
tained and elaborate strategy, but by
suanen changes, uv orisK ana auda
cious dashes in every part of the
field. Hence, though hs make
few periods himseltheffectually
prunes t hose of "his enemies, not ex
cluding Bismarck himself. If he
makes a parliamentary bargain with
the government or another party, he
exacts and receives the equivelant in
advance. But he seldom enters into
such transactions, for, as he himself
once said, he ha- "no wish to be
duped." "And he who tries to dupe
me," added the little man with a
knowing twinkle in his eye, "must
rise very early in the morning:" at
which Bismarck looked foolish and
the House roared with approving
laughter. Winthorst is a Hanoverian,
and up to 1856 was a faithful and
trusted counselor of blind King
George. A kindly, entertaining old
gentleman, he is cultivated ot many
sides; and on the occasions of the an-
nuui-exnibition of the academy finds
time to write discriminating and ele
gant art critiques for the journals of
tne capital.
It is seven years ago now since the
United States government, as meas
ure of precaution, deprived Bed Cloud
and his fellow tribemen of their
ponies. At the time the Indians were
told that the money obtained by the
sale of the ponies should be expended
in buying cows for them. The ponies
were sold, bringing something like
S5C00, but lied Cloud allirms that he
and his friends have yet to see the
first cow or the first dollar, and the
records of the department, so far as
they have ben examined, bear out
his assertion. Such a piece of down
right thievery, perpetrated by agents
of the government and under color of
its authority, is not exactly pleasant
to think of.

party assembled an Asn street, near
the Southern Presbyterian church, en
gaged in that rare sport for this lati

the winters of discontent or sorrow
may never chill their hearts more than
their spirits were by the cold that gave

Panic in the Senate Chamber.
A defective flue in the camtol
caused the new stove just put up in
the governor s oflic to smoke out the
senate chamber, and caused them to
adjourn in a panic, as the smoke is
sued trom the windows and the floor,
and all believed, for a few minutes,
that another capital was doomed. The
fire lell sounded, but the error was
discovered before the engines reached
there. The house, which was in ses
sion, was informed of the supposed
fact that the capitol was burning. A
member arose to make a parliament
ary motion to adjourn, while he made
a physical motion to do so individu
ally. Another member, who had evi
dently heard of Davenport in the
Maine legislature, on the "Dark Day,"
when he cidled for lights, shouted:
"Let her burn; go on with the bill."
The house was apparently on fire, but
it was soon discovered that the cause
was a Hue having the end of oue of
the heavy timbers almost into it near
the second story, and the smoke es
caped through the opening. The gov
