The latest election is given in slip from the
Office of the Galveston CiUiIian as follows:
We have received returns, in some cases full but
in most very partial, from AZ of the 1l6 counties,
which foot up for governor-Runnels, democrat, r.
516; Houston, 1854; majority for Runnels, 1862
The full vote of the counties will increase this
majority to over 5000. Cameron county browns
ville) reported 800 majority for Runnels The re-
turns include five or six of Houstons strong coun-
ties We regard the election of Runnels as certain.
The election Of Lubbock for lieutenant governor,
and Reagan and Bryan to Congress, (al democrats,
is beyond doubt.
White (democrat) is 1,O62 ahead of Crosby for
commissioner of the land Office, and the result is
doubtful.

THE GREAT ATLANTIC CABLE The telegraphic
feet hos now been thirteen days engaged in its
work, and as it is presumed that an hundred miles
per day at least may be laid down. we may presume
that principal portion of the great and wonderful
work is accomplished. The steamer Canada, which,
says the N. Y. Times, for great part Of the way
soOss followed nearly the tract the feet will pursue,
encountered very strong head winds all the way,
and it is not improbable that the Geographic feet
may BE- detained as she was. The strongest cent?
deuee in the success of the enterprise was felt by
ell persons engaged in it, and the chances are de-
cidsdly that next week the Atlantic Submarine Tel
egraph will be a fixed fact,

THE LATE EUGENE SUE.

The death of Eugene Sue, the celebrated French
novelist is announced. He was born in Paris in
1903, and inherited considerable estate from his
father who was professor of anatomy. He stud
led surgery, and served for several years as sur
geon in the French Navy. After having squan-
dered his patrimOny in eXtravagant living he was
driven to writing romances. His first literary sue
cess was" Mathilde, the Memoirs of Young
Woman" wherein, contrary to the usual custom
of French novelsts of the time, vice was punished
and virtue rewarded. The popularity of this
book, however, was far exceeded by that Of the
90 Mysteries Of Paris. The" Wandering Jew
was no less popular, and like the Mysteries of
Paris" was translated into many languages. 1t
derives its interest not much from the mythical
character who gives name TO it as from the prom
inent and mysterious part which the Jesuits are
made to take in the story. g The History of the
French Marine in the Time of Louis XIV" work
in which truth and hction are ingeniously mingled
was very successful. His g Mysteries of the Peo-
pie" written after he had become identified with
the socialists did not meet the anticpatiOns of his
admirers. In 1850 he was elected to the National
Assembly, where he exerted great influence
His extreme sociaistc views made him obnoxious to
the party of order, and after the coup detat he
become a refugee More recently, however he re-
turned to Paris, where he died the Sd inst, aged
49
As writer, Eugene Sue possessed great power
ofvvid description and lively narrative. His works
abound in horrible and mysterious Incidents and
won favor with the lower classes by the vigor with
which their wrongs and sufferings were contrasted
with the vices and luxury oftherie Nowithstand-
ing his socialism, he always lived very extravagantly
as The great popularity of of his writings en-
abled him to do The following disagreeable Incl
dent is related as having befallen him, soon after
the publication of his successful History of the
French Navy. " A parsel was sent to him from
Toulon through the Foreign Office. 1t consisted of
q small box containing a silver medel, with the
following conspicuous inscription % To NJ. Eugene
Sue, a token of gratitude from the French Navy"
Underneath in very small letters, was written,
:" For the History of the French Navy he did not

FRUIT GROWING THE PACIFIC STATEs.-Cali-
fornia is well suited in soil and climate to the grow
ing of fruit Apples, especially, reach high de-
gree ofPerfection, and thepeach pear, plum ounce
apricot, cherry, strawberry, grape with kindred
fruits, are scarcely less inferior in quality. In
Oregon and California, the apple, it is said attains
size, flavor and perfection excelling the most
favored places of culture in our eastern States.
The fruit orchards with uncommon rapidly. In
1851, in San Francisco, one dollar given for a
single apple, or single peach, but the growth of
these fruits has since been rapid and extensive,

gtaseiiy bottoms, aud here viii slaEgs for shs sns
fefnaticn Of those who have not thought on the
subject, that the game FISH, as they are called, viii
not prosper where there is no sand or gravel for
them to scour their sides against. So those who
make fish ponds if there is no rock at the bottom or
sides of your pond win have to haul some and put
into it, Cats and ellis will do with mud bottom,
but jack, trout and perch need the sand or gravel
In addition to the favorable bottoms to streams,
they are generally well shaded, which serves the
double purpose of protecting the fish from the heat
of the sun, well furnishing food from the bugs
and worms that fall continually from their branch-
es. We're we properly protected, protected alone
from the destruction. not from the use of fish, for
they would be so abundant that we could not eat
them up, our streams would soon be the praise
and ornament of the State While, on the other
hand we are so far from the Gulf flour streams
were completely cleared of fish, do not know
that they would return again in century, particu-
lsrly what we regard resident fish. l shall inmy
next point out the course which think ought to be
taken, together with the modes of fishing which
ought to be resorted to.

wishes of friends and admirers be finally and fully
reazed-this alone will not for him the loti
