owing choice selection is from an
lrticle in the Petersburg Va Under
Upon Judge Underwood, whose

Jeff Davis to trial:
1--WE have to do justice to the alb
'urd, blasphemous, cowardly, devil
sh, empirical, fanatical, ghOulish,
horrible, ignorant. Jacobinical. kna-
wish, lily-livered, maudlin, nondes

rascally, sycophantic, traitorous, I'M
venal, witless, cXtrava-
CANT, Yanllceish zero, whose
:. charge we publish to-day; but
we despair. The truth is, we are
not equal to the OCCASION"
This equals the complimentary no
tice given to contemporary by
Western sheet:
"The howling hyena of that infa-
nous and traitOrOus sheet, yclcpt
foams at the mouth, and
CRASHES his toothless jaws and drools
out enthusiastically his impotent

TEXAS CATTLE.-Few people from
abroad can form the rcmOtest idea
of tho vast herds of cattle owned
in Texas. When we state that it is
not unusual for one individual to be
the pOsSesSor of 600 head of horn
ed cattle, the increase of which will
approximate yearly to 1000 calves,
some idea may be formed as to the
great source Of wealth we have i'm
western Texas. Instead of the
Western and Northern States sup
plying the Old and New World with
packed beef, as is now the case. il
will be done in Texas, where "a beet
weighing 600 to 200 pounds can be
purchased for SD, instead of $50 to
800 in the North and WeSt.-Indidl-
Oia Times.

Whenever You meet Il man or

at any respectable employment, it i
Il sign there is very tender spo
somewhere about the brain.
Whenever You see Il couple sit g
the table of Il hotel, and try to a
tract attention by finding fault wit
every dish that is brought them,
is sign they dine on cod fish an
salt beef at home.
Whenever you see a fashionab
lady afraid to make the acquain
ancc of the wife of a respectful

Stings and bites are often insta
tancously cured by washing the
