GOVERNOR WISE AS A PESMAS.-A oorrespon.
dent from Richmond writes as follows about the
executive Of Virginia: Governor Wise, in the
character of scribe, surpasses, perhaps, any
man living. In point of rapidity be can only be
parallelled in short hand. while his writing is
almost as legiblc as print. had occasion some
time ago to copy some writing Of his. and did
SO page after page as he produced them. l start.
ed when he was about two pages ahead, and
though he had to compose while had merely to
copy. ut the close of the tenth page he was still
two iu advance At this stage he was called Of
to dinner, and availed myself of the opportuui-
ty to procure peculiar style of pen, which l
thought would facilitate the operation. We both
set TO work again Simultaneously and though he
stopped occasionally to mend his pen (he writes
with gull pen) and now and then walked rapid
" round the room, while meanwhile wrote with
all the rapidity Of which l was capable, he
wound up at the end of the twenty-ninth page
with the two pages in advance which he had al
the start. l understand he thinks nothing Of
answering twenty-five or thirty letters day, or
rather within the three or four hours he spends
in his office, besides attending to other duties and
receiving visitors, who occupy much Of his time.

rsz..s xsneas and Missouri

We have received the following communication
from M Intelligent Gentleman in this county. call
j,p attention to the gcievous wrongs inflicted up
on catte,driyers from Texas, by the people of
Kansas and Missouri 1t should have appeared
sgysga weeks ago, but the crowded state of our
columns preyehtod, We have long known that
such awLegs practices were resorted to, but have
bsyn at loss to dacover the remedy. If our
LEGISLATORS can arrive at any means by which the
rights Of our people can be preserved, we would
he reasad to see it There is so little trade from
Missouri and Karaas to Texas, that even course
of rsaliatorFselisia iation would be of little avail.
The only redress 1t present, would be to appeal
10 the courts Of Missouri, where these wrongs
are inflicted IF tb's belongs properly to Federal
lerisIntlun regulating intercourse between: the
states, it would perhaps be well for the Legisla-
.urs of Texas to call the attention of Congress
10 the state Of affairs existing in those states re-
,ardinr The driving Of Texas cattle through them.
We agree with our correspondent, that it is a
mere subterhge to prevent competition for it is
n notorious fact, that our cattle are the healthi-
diseases. We would like to see the wrongs rem
saiei, but cannot soy how it should be done

E,5itor Dallas Herald:
Sr:--I know of 40 subject more interesting to
t5e reo pie of Texas-of none requiring the atten-
zion If our Legislature and General Government,
,ban the lawleas aud mobocratic conduct of the
aoonls Of Missouri and Kansas toward cattle
5roTsrs from here. They have forcibly stopped
tbem from driving cattle through their States,
alleging tie disease spread by our cattle as the
csrss Which IS but ssbterfuge, their real mo-
tivs teirs 10 prevent competition.
This thing certainly should be attended to in
s,sr ~. for out Of this county alone, there were
tsssn to market one hundred thousand dollars
Sorth Of steers, rerhaps much more. And the
soonsr sJrne aper calls the attention of the pub
l;c !, the redress of this outrageous, outlawed
srsyanee Of our people, the sooner it will, in all
1rotshiIity, be rsdressed.
win you give the subject an early notice' If

Mn. BausEL, the famous English snrinear-

Ma. BRuSEL, the famous English engineer,
though Of very small stature, had a commands
ing presence. His industry vas {untirinr. and
he paralysis OF which he died in his fffty-
fourth year, was the natural result of an over
taskcd brain aud careful regimen. He was an
inyeterate smoker, and at tho commencement OF
his engineering zcareerwas never without a cigar
in his mouth. He frequently worked twenty
hours day, and as frequently all night; and
the writer of his memoir has known him to alb
stain from going to bed an entire week. With
the exception ofsmoking, he was temperatcand
even abstemious, In 1885 he married Miss
Fanny Halsey, of Kfnsington, by whom he had
one son. His great engineering achievements
are familiar to the world. Few of the enter
priSes he projected proftcd the stockholders,
and by many he was condemned for the extra
vagance of the means lie employed to effect his
objects From an interesting biography in the
Philadelphia North american we take notices
able anecdotc of the great engineer:
He had remarkable narrow escape from
death on one occasion. lie bad invited iuvcn
lie party to his house, and by way of amusing
the children was performing some cOnjurng
tricks One of these consisted in pretending to
S"atlowa piece of money and bring it out at
the car. He took half sovereign, Ia coin
about the size of a half dime) aud jerkei it into
his mouth, but violently that it entered the
windpipc, where it stuck edgewise Surgeons
were sent for, but all their efforts to extract it
proved frutleSs. He remained two DAYS in
state oil choking, but at last cared himself By
means of frame that he caused to be con-
>tructed, which was so contrivcd as 10 hold him
upside down; and while in this position, by in
cessant patting on the back, the obstinate coin
was at last dislodged, and Mr. Brunei recovered
from his imminent danger. We believe this
| to DC the only known instance of substance
remaining in the windpipe without causing
death"
