The outlook for u bounteous harvest of.
wheat next spring is indued very flattering; in
some instances the younj grain will have to
be grazed down to keep it buck from lute
frosts.
The cotton crop is aoout all gathered and
marketed, and the receipts up to the present
compared with those of last season fall short
nearly twenty-five per cent., which is a marked
falling oil' of the fleecy staple; on account of
which prices liuve advanced some, having
been firm throughout the entire season.
In consequence of the short yield in corn
that cereal is now being shipped from Nebras
ka here and sold at 1.10 to $1.20 per bushel,
which is rather steep on the buyer. Two years
ago we got our corn from Kansas in unlimited
quantities at CO to 70 cents ; but Kansas corn-
cribs are lean this time as well as Texas.
Another old landmark upou the pages of
Teias history is gone, in the burning of the
State House a tew weeks since at Austin. The
old-time building bad weathered the storms of
more than a quarter of a century, and like the
veterans of lS;i(i, she was growing feeble "neath
her weight ot cares ; but it seems hard she
could not Lave stood a little longer to witness
the erection of the new capitol that is to stand
hard by her toundation stone.
The little city of Tyler, one of the late can
didates tn the university race that took place
in September, is going to contest the election,
looking lorward to no distant day when she
will be the Athens of Texas with the reat
Htate institution located within her limits.
The Texas & Facific Railway is now com
pleted to El Paso, where it tonus direct con

hoped for southern route across the continent.
A big excursion party is being made up to
start from Dallas on a through train to the
western slope of the Rockies.
Gould's main trunk line, which passes di
rectly through our city, is being pushed rap-
idly toward Mexico, while the other end is
progressing this way. So, ere many months
pass by, we can have easy access to that great
city of mysteries, where civilization held sway
when our part of the continent was in its in
fancy.
The late message of President Arthur, touch
ing on the policy and propriety of some re
duction in taxation, is a good one. Such a
policy, if properly carried out, would be her
alded all over the south as well as the north
as the dawning of a brighter and happier era
tn the history of our land. For twenty long
years, years, too, of unmitigated toil and strife,
have our people borne up under the heavy
burden of taxation. And has not the time now
fully come when we can cast oil say at least a
portion of this galling yoke
Ex-Governor Davis, of Texas, is strongly
spoken ot asbecomingone of Arthur's cabinet.
If his views are as extreme as they were dur
ing his executive administration of Texas, he
would prove a blight upon that august body;

tears of sorrow the four years of dark days dur

"Betsy, what in thunder's the matter with

"Did you get 'em in that earthen crock on

Kewarrt of Industry,
A few days ago a poor, friendless lad might
have been seen wandering along the streets
looking for employment. He presently halted
in front of a butcher shop and walking boldly
ur to the proprietor asked for a job. There
was something In the young man's frank, hon
est couuteuance which struck the proprietor
favorably.
"Not afraid of hard work ?" he asked.
"No," responded the lad with a trembling
voice; "I have supported my mother and two
sisters tor five years by hard work."
He was put on trial at $5 a week mauling
leathery beet, and his sturdy frame andJieal
thy constitution came in good play. One day
an old lady came in to get some beef, and the
proprietor told him to attend to the customer
"A tenderloin steak, if you please," said she.
"Here's a cut that nobody but the first fami
lies get," responded the boy smilingly as he
sliced otl four pounds ot tough round and
cast it with a heavy hand on the scales, jam
ming it down with a quick, dexterous move
ment, until the indicator marked six even
pounds. Then he snatched it oil' before the
delicate machinery used to weigh beef had
time to recoil.
"Six pounds and a half, madam," he said,
looking her square in the face with his clear,
blue eyes.
The proprietor of the stall called him in
that night, and remarking that he had watch
ed his course carefully, added that as a reward
for his quick, comprehensive grasp of the bus
iness he would raise his salary to $ a week.
This shows the advantage of doing everything
well, and when the boy's mother back in New
Jersey hears of his success there wrll be joy
in that household. Young men starting out
in life should learn to adapt themselves to
their surroundings and never let an oppor

A brief telegram a week ago mentioned the
desperate encounter of the Rev. Dr. Gage of
Hartford, Conn., with a ferocious burglar, the
parson coming out victorious. The New York
Sun thus refers to the case:
That belligerant preacher, uncontrollable
bersekir, and inflammatory apostle of the Gos
pel according to the elevated revolver we
mean the erudite, sentimental, soft-voiced
bland, and childlike Reverend Doctor Gage of
Hartford has been rushing np the steep when
r ame s proud temple shines afar ever since
his last battle. All the readers of the Sun will
recollect distinctly that this last conflict of the
Reverend Doctor Gage was with the most fe
rocious and determined burglar ot the nine
teenth century a burglar the like of whom
had never up to that time been heard of even
by the wickedest sinners in the guilty town of
llarttorn. When this ourglar got into the
house of the Reverend Doctor Gage, and fell
into the hands of the Reverend Doctor Gage
himself, It soon became evident that, the
way ot the transgressor is hard. The pious
clergyman got such a lock on him, gave him
such an ursine hug, that his faint cry of "Le'
me go:" became tainter with each reiteration.
Then, as our readers will recollect, came the
scene in the doorway, the scene upon the outer
steps, and the final scene in the yard all these
scenes amid thick darkness in which the
Reverend Doctor Gage fell on top of the hu
miliated burglar, shouted for help, and was
rescued by four men, including the United
States Marshal, who hand cuffed the prisoner
in presence of the reverend berserk ir, and
marched triumphantly off with him to jail.
At this point we must halt a moment for the
purpose of warning all the poets of the Sun to
refrain from making this famous Hartford
combat the theme of an epic poem.
Well, renown is not the only reward that
has accrued to the Reverend Doctor Gage from
this crowning triumph ot bis career. In the
first place, he has been presented w ith a silver-mounted
pistol ; in the second pl.-tcc, a fund
of benefit for him has been raised in Hartford ;
in the next place, he has been invited to lec
ture upon his battle before the Chautauqua Lit
erary Circle; and as to the other presents and
purses that have been or may be Leaped upon
Wonderrul ir True.
A startling and highly important piece of
news comes from that laud ot wonder, whisky
and Wattersou Kentucky. It is nothing less
tnan the discovery of another cave, beside
which that hitherto known as Mammoth
shrinks into lilliputian proportions. The sto
ry of the discovery is told iu the (tray son
Aih'irutc, a weekly newspaper printed in the
town of Li'ltchllcld, Grayson county, and
whereof 1. E. McClure Is the responsible edi
tor. Not in size alone is this cave a marvel;
ils contents are even more so, although the
readers of The Graphic will not be overmuch
surprised, leuiembering ns they do that more
than a year ago we pointed out the extreme
probability that the ancient Egyptians were
merely a branch of some prehistoric race that
peopled this continent and which left indubi
table marks ot its presence at scattered points
from Peru to Alaska.
This cave is situated on the farm of Mr. Ev
an Rogers, and to be exact on all points, its
existence was unknown until Dec. 1 of this
year, 1881. Mr. Rogers' house is about oue
mile from the Leitchtleld post-ollice, the Gray
son Adcorate informs us. A huge mountain
rises immediately in the rear of it, and in the
side of this mountain are numerous small
caves. One of these last was used by the
family for the storage of milk and butter, be
ing conveniently near the house. It was
found too small, and Mr. Rogers resolved to
enlarge it by blastiug out some of the rock at
the back, and while engaged in so doing he
found that there was a vast opening separated
from his little cave by a "very thin wall of
alabaster rock, covered with acalcarcous form
ation." Mr. Rogers proceeded to investigate,
and "was greatly astonished to find before him
an immense cave, with avenues at least one
hundred feet wide."
Mr. Rogess, it seems, is not a selfish man
and he lost no time in communicating the
good news to his neighbors. He hurriedly
saddled his horse and rode into town, there to
tell the tale to the astonished Leitchflcldcrs.
Torches were prepared, and almost the entire
adult male population, including the county
judge and the postmaster, proceeded to make
an immediate investigation. "Entering the
cave," says thd veracious cbroniclor, "they
were at once greatly impressed with its grand
eur and sublimity. For three long hours they
explored its spacious avenue amidst its won
derful formations without meeting a barrier to
their progress, until they came to a wide, deep
river, which they found contained vast schools
cf eyeless fish and other sightless wonders of
the marine world." It was now late in the
afternoon and they retired, determined, how
ever, on a thorough exploration on the day
following.
The party of the next day was materially
augmented by stragglers from the surrounding
country. It included the county surveyor,
who measured the distances. The main av
enue w as found to be fourteen miles long, or
five miles more than that of the Mammoth
Cave, which is not far distant. A river both
long and wide, and deep enough to float a
small class Western steamboat, was also dis
covered. "Beautiful stalactite," reports the
Adroeatt, "glistening like great diamonds, are
pendant from above, while ponderous stalag
mites and pillars of alabaster rear themselves
like so many beautiful monuments below."
This is not all, however. The most wonder
ful part is still to come. "A pyramid an ex
act fac simile of the great pyramid of Egypt"
was found in one of the chambers of tlie cave,
"together with a Masonic altar wX other Ma
sonic emblems also a autnber tf well pre
served mummies whicU were roposing in
stone cofllns, which were evidently construct
ed by a great sculptor, as they are fine speci
mens of the sculptor's art, and are covered
with beautiful Masonic emblems." This is,
indeed, marvellous and well worthy the atten
tion of the Grand Lodge. The account further
says that "there are evidences on all aides that
the cave was the abode of a prehistoric rnct
which the Atlvowte thinks, as The Graphic
does also, was identical with the ancient r.gyp
tian race.
Whether ibis wonderful cave and its attend
ant big river and pyramid and mummies and
altar and Masonic emblems Is not the latest
manifestation of the effects of Kentucky whis
ky on the Kentucky imagination remains to
be ascertained. Lcitchlicld is on the line of
the Paducah nnd Elizabethtown Railway, and
the facts should be easily verified. Graphic
Ail Kntlre Family Dies of Grief.
Leavenworth, (Ka.) special : One of the sad
dest stories ever written has been enacted in
the neighboring county of Platte, in Missouri.
The foundation was laid in a terrible crime at
the Platte county fair last September when
Clay Snell, a young man ot good lainily,
stabbed and killed a young man named Nath
an Andrews. He is now in jail at Platte City
awaiting trial on the charge of murder, and it
is not intended here to speak of the merits or
demerits of his case, but to recount the sad cir
cumstances which have happened in bis fami
ly since the crime was committed, and which
has tended to turn the current of popular opin
ion in his favor. This 'is no more nor less than
the death of the entire family of the Snells.
Shortly after the murder Mrs. Lucy Ann Stan
ford, mother of Clay Snell, became very much
excited over the murder and grew quite ill.
Within a short time she died. Then Robert
Snell became ill from what is supposed to be
the same cause, and after a lingering sickness,
during which tune lie talked constantly of the
family trouble, ho passed away, soon followed
by his six months babe. John Snell, another
brother, succumed to the strain of family ex
citement, and, after a short illness, he also
died. The past week Miss Nettie Snell, the
last of the family of one blood, died ; and now
the news is to the effect that Thomas Stanford,
the little seven-year-old halt-brother of Clay
Snell, is not expected to live, thus leaving the
prisoner the only survivor of the doubly un
fortunate family and he in jail awaiting trial
on the charge of murder. He is said to have
been so crushed with grief at the death of bis
mother that for some time he was not inform
ed of the other deaths in his family. lie
pleaded hard to be permitted to gaze upon
the face of his mother before she was laid in
her last resting place, saying, "Send a hun
dred men to guard me, cover me with chains
double locked, but for God's sake let me see
the face of my poor old mother." This request,
however, was not granted. A more sorrowful
chapter of family history was never written.
