Laat Friday James Martin of the town
of Culdrum, Morrison county, loaded a
double-hareled shot gnn and went into hie
bji^jretprsgpt rip onto a chair uti
ptotting hi* neck inside a noosefostenedto
ahpaln^and placed the gun to bis head,
discharged it. The entire back of hia head
was blown off, and he was thrown forward
off the chair and caught bythe tightened
noose, so that tf death had not been caused
by the gunshot wound it would have been
by strangulation.
Martin was undoubtedly laboring under
a fit of insanity at the time he took his
1Mb. His insanity dates from Christmas,
1873, at which time two brothers named
Kinney came to his house, played carda,
and drank considerable whisky furnished
by him. During the evening these two
brothers had an altercationjust outside the
door, during which one stabbed the other
so that he died. Martin was deeply affect
ed by his own responsibility in the matter,
in having furnished the liquor which
made one of these brothers the murderer
of the other, so tha^hiamindbecame unset
tled.
In the summer of 1874 he seised a man
named Bayne on theriverbank, threw him
into the water and attempted to drown
him. It was with great difficulty that
Bayne escaped. Martin was then sent to
the Insane Aaylum and kept there for sev
eral months and then discharged, but has
been insane attimessince. His wife had
left him and gone to Minneapolis some
weeks before he committed suicide.

It is the invaluable fruit of the long ex
perience of a judgment well-balanced and
a heart of the noblest womanly aspirations,
offered in a style most beautiful in its sim

part of woman's nature was ignored,
and no part exalted out of due proportion.
As for the boys,'we could but ?wish that

DALLAB, TEXAB,Jan. 15, 1876.
EDITOB JOUBNAL— When I left S
Cloud I promised many friends that, in
due time, I would write and give them my
impressions of this country and, I now
ask the privilege of redeeming my prom
ise through the columns of your paper.
I would say, in the first place, that I
was rvy much disappointed in my expec
tations in regardtothe site of this town. I
find it a thriving place of "i
ABOUT 18,000 INHABITANTS,
with quite a local trade. A large lot
cotton, raised in the immediate neighbor
hood, already been shipped, and a
considerable quantity of wheat has been
exjKwted this winter. f^
I do not see any substantial manufac
turing establishments of any'kind here.
They have a few
VBBY IBTEBIOB MILLS.
The most of the wheat bought by par
ties in S Louis, shipped there, ground
into floor and then shipped back. All the
forming implements are made in the North
and sent here, consequently the prices for
mechanical labor of all kinds are low. To
sum up the whole matter, everything is
just as much at a standstill here as in
anyConduct
part of the North. If there was much
money here I cannot see why they are not
making more improvements. There has
been but little weather since I have been
heretohinder any work from being done
yet I see but little doing in the town. I
have not noticed any kind of business
here, either mercantile or mechanical, but
seems to ." .'.'7?
OVERDONE.
I have foiled to find any man in Dallas
that is making more out of his business
than men in the North are making out of
the same kinds of business. I think'lam
not mistaken when I say that the same ob
servation will hold good as regards the
country aa well as the town.
I cannot complain of the climate. It
has been mild since I came here—most
distressingly so. Rein has fallen almost
erery day' and *«. i-',..
TH E MDI
is from one inch to ten inches deep, and
sticks like tar.
The health of the country seems to be
quitegood, soforac CSA learn. Winter
is a poor time to look at this country.
Spring or autumn is much better. Persons
comingtoengage in forminc should come
in August V'..
I have not tasted'
A BITE OF oodr ntmaat
since I came to this town, neither do I
think they can make here. The quality
of Irish potato is very poor. The beef
steaks here would make yery durable beot
packs foi our Northern climate.

FROM ST. CtVOUD TO SAH FRAN
CISCO,
*T W SS^ IenBsTh*BSBws»s* "r
vtaM Was Seen by the Way
We are permitted to take the following
extracts from a private letter written by
Mr. F.H. Dam toagentleman in this cily. It
is dated at San Francisco, Jan. 12th:
"After a month of drifting around, I
have arrived at this place. I looked thro'
many of the larger places and manufactur
ing towns in Wisconsin, Michigan,
Indiana aid Illinois. I found
no place where the people did not
complain of hard times, and in many pla
ces they hsd sued reason to for in nearly
every one I found about one-half of the
mechanics and working classes out of em
'and the remainder ex more in
dustrious ones at workforwhat they could
get. I talked with a great many, skilled
workmen of most every trade, and many of
them were getting less than $1.00 per dayi
They call it hard times, and the parties
who employ them also talk hard times.—
In Chicago a few seem to be making mon
ey, but there is the same cry of hard times.
I have seen whole cities, three times the
site of St. Cloud, that seemed to be doing
nothing whatever in the-way of building
or improvements. AH the laboring popu
lation seemed to be without work, where
there was plenty to do in sight in the way
of repairing fences, roofs and walks and in
painting, to have employed a .thousand
men for a year. Whole towns appeared to
be ready-made and for sale. I have en
deavored to find., out all I could in regard
the business and advantages of the pla
ces througa which I have passed, and of
the hopes of their people, and in not one
single instance have I found a locality that
did not have its disadvantages.
"The Platte Valley woald be a
splendid placetomake a large farm in, if
it had timber for fences and building pur
poses, but all the timber for hundreds of
miles would scarcely keep St Cloud in fu
el for one winter,tosay nothing of fencing.
There area few forms at first along the
railroad, but there are no buildings or
fences. The cattle are all herded. It
looks lonesometosee such a bioad expanse
of country unsettled. The fuel comes to
this part of the valley from the west a dis
tance of 800 miles, and costs $12to$14 per
ton for soft coal. I talked with our herder
who had charge of 60,000 head of cattle in
the valley of the North Platte. Cattle
raising seams to be quite a business, but
he told me that it would soon be overdone,
as the ranges were getting poor very fast
'The towns along the road which attain
to such pretentions are. nearly all 'shanty'
towns. There area few good buildings in
some of the larger ones.
"At Cheyenne there is a good deal of
Black Hills fever, and a hundred or more
persons leave every weekforCuster City.
are seven companies of troops here,
but the government is doing nothing to
prevent the gold-seekers from going.
"The weather is very pleasant.
Grass is about six inches high, while trees
of the evergreen variety,- such as live oaks
and several kinds of shrubs, make the
country look very inviting to a Northern
man. As soon as I look around here, I
shall go south, then up north and return,
goingtoCarson and Virginia City, Ne
vada."

READING FOR CHILDREN.
OPINION OF CUAS. FRANCIS ADAMS
A CLERGYMAN'S OPINION.
What You Can Get For Five Dollars.
OHAS. FRANCIS ADAMS
Says, in a letter to the Quincy (Mass.) Patriot, that
three-fourths of the hooks in hrisk demand at the
public libraries are "vapid and sensational." He
thinks that parents onptbt to fruide the children's
taste in the choke of reading more than tbev do.
The Newark Advertiser, in
A TBENCHANT KDITORIAL
On this subject says: "A worse literature thr.n that
which is spread before the children of ibis country
it would hardly be possible for the mind of man to
conceive or his hand to execute. It is even worse
than an open advocacy of vice and intemperance,
for that would carry its own antidote, while what
we have excites, stimulates and debases the iutellect,
unfits it for healthy food, fills the imagination with
gaudy and distorted pictures of life, and develops
the passions at an age when they should be most
under control. How much of the low moral tone of
society is due to these satauic issues of the press we
do not not know but, as a river, can nowhere be so
effectually poisoned as at its source, so we have a
right to believe that the millions of these papers, de
voured by curious and eager children, must influ
ence to alarge extent the tone of thought and the
drift of action of those whose plastic minds come
under their influence."
The writer adds "It may be somewhat unneces
sary to state that wc have reference in the HIKJYC to
those monthly magazines for children, whjch are as
healthful as thev are beautiful. If all editors were
as able, as truthful and devoted as Mrs. Mary Mapes
Lodge (who edits St. Xlcfiolas), tnere would be noth
ing to complain of." The New York Tribvuf savs:
"In the
AVALANCHE OF IMMORAL LITERATURE
That threatens the children, some strong, vitality
