TEXAS INDIAN ATROCITIES
Depi0rable Condition OF the
Frontier.

Tae Eherinan Courier brings Us a re-
pert Of another Indian raid and fight.
odY of about twenty-five Indians came
down upon Siril's Bend and drove off q
lot Of horses. Six young men followed
them, and coming up with them, charged
them, AMI desperate fight ensued fol
an hour and a half. Finally both parties
drew of, and the Indians retired In 81
ieuce. One of the six was killed and two
wounded, and some OF their horses killed
sud wounded. Ten Of the Indians were
killed.
The Austin Repu5lican (RadicaD says
the county of LlaDo, which it mentions
by way Of example, is subject TO almost
monthly incursiOns of Indians. "They
nave stolen nearly every horse In the
county" Within the last year number
OF men, women and children have been
seaipsd In that county, and yet the Re-
publican says: " Austin is the nearest
military post 20 the principal settlements
ia that country. The citizens, therefore.
instead CT being able to inform the troops
OF the approach OF Indians, are compelled
to enter their houses and defend their
women snd children, and see the Indiaas
drive Off their stock-ail they have OF
this worlds goods, the proceeds of years
Of toll, privstiOn and danger"
The Republican advocates the forms-
ton Of q battalion or regiment OF rangers
for frontier protection, and declares that,
in a field Of operations lying outside Of
the posts an forts as al present arranged,
it would afford more protection than any
other means that could be devised,

4 lac Suffrage Question ia TEN
neSSee.
From the Mas hvile Correspondent Of the st.
Louis Republican.

From the Mas hville Correspondent Of the st.
Louis Republican.
A resolution was introduced In the
Senate to day, but not acted upon, de.
clariug it the sense of the Legislature
that no action should be taken ia extend
ing suffrage until Congress shall have
first passed the proposed Constitutional
amendment. The resolution will probs-
bly, pass. There is considerable diversity
of opinion Ia Tennessee on the question
of impartial suffrage. Il Is safe to say
that q great msjOrity of the ex-Tebel
population Of the State, aud these
mainly embracing its intelligence aud
worth, are 10 favor Of the measure, more
perhaps on the ground Of policy and ne
eessity thsn from an original belief in its
Justice and propristy. Fully recognizing
the fact that negro safffsgs Is established
10 Tennessee, and not likely to be dis
turhed by the logic of cOmiRg events,
they hall any measure as one OF relief
which looks to their own political free
dom. So it may be safely set down that
TsnnesseO ex-rebels, as a class, earnestly
desire thu eaFly adoption Of the Congress
sional amendment looking to impartial
suffrage, while few OF the more honest
and intelligent of Tennessee Radicals
are In fag3r OF the same measure. The
fact cannot bp denied that nearly the
whole herd OF Office, holders, office
hunters, and the tribe Of adventures
who thrive and grow fat on the strength
OF their loyalty, are dead set against uni
versal suffrage, and will leave nothing
undone to make white disFranchisamenI
perpetual. This Is about the way the
uaatter stands in Tennessee at present.

A Pair or Kl.ses Intercepted.

From the indianapolis Mirror.l
When ParsOn G., of this city, married
his present smiable wife, they, in con-
psny with MF. 81. and his wife, started
of on bridal tour to Cincinnati. On
approaching near the tunnel on the way,
Mrs 81. Inquired how long it was. Mrs
q. laughiugiy replied: "Just long
enough for ms TO kiss my husband Very
sO01 after, the train glided into the dark
ness Of the tunnel, when Mrs. M, who
was sitting in the seat Just back of that
ia which the bride and groom were sit
ting, was ready to play little joke upon
the loving couple II they should attempt
to kiss in the tunnel. Mrs. NJ. could
only see as through a glass darkiy, but
vita the aid OF littl fortunate guessing
she wss enabled TO gently slip her hsnd
between their faces, just in the nick of
time, and intercepted pair of kisses
fervent as the love OF bride OF one score
and ten and q bridegroom OF three score
and five could get them up. There's
many "slip 'twixt cup aud lip" So in
this case, the course of true love never
did run smooth. Mrs. III. g hand caught
both kisses, and she lifted Up her voice
aud laughed-how could che help it?
When the train emerged from darkness
into broad daylight, there sat the loving
couple. rendered dOublY attractive by the
deep and burning blushes which testified
that they had at last attempted q kiss In
the dark.

nrs. stephen A. .Douglas.

From the S Louis Democrat
On last Sunday l was walking in the
neighborhOod of Gen. Grants house,
when l saw Mrs. Msj. Williams, late
Mrs, Stephen A. Douglas, exchanging
greetings with Gen. Grant, and descend
at her gate, accompanied By her husband
The house that Mr.. Douglas presented to
d : wife before her marriage, stood upon
8 hill close by Gen. Grants bsequent
aBj present residence, and in the grad
ing OF the stTeeis theresbCut, this house,
with its extensive walled garden and
lawn, was LETT suspended ia the air, so
that 1t il now one Of the most imposing
Dwellings in the city, and is named, ap-
propristely, Douglas Place. Msj. Will
lisms, since his marriage with the widow
Douglas, has nearly doubled the size OF
his house, raised q French roof upon it,
and capped its flight Of stone stairs with
3 pair of colossal carved lions. The ter
racOs around the house are planted with
shrubs and box bush, and immemorial
trees contribute TO give the place the air
Of q venerable pstrimoDy.
Within the mansion tw fine children
count the march Of time, neither of them
neirs Of Mr.. Douglas, whose little con-
tribution shares his sleep. The exqui-
sire psscefuiness and privacy of Mrs
Williams life show the difference be-
tween what are called the marriage de
sOciete, aud what We name fsmliisrly
love-m atches. In the time of her first
husband, no psrty was complete without
her. Her picture was puFchsssble at
every print shop, and We Eeheld her in
Washing on every day. Now, welded
TO private gentleman snd soldier, OF
years not uncOngeoisl to her own, she is
the ornament of beautiful home. aud
her children are her kingdom. She is
still pious at church, and fond of
riding out, but her journeys are COM
monty made out of town, and not within
it 7 felt, ia her proximity to toe home
Of Mrs Grant, how muisoie, and yee
sow meTeiful, are the dispensstions Of
Providence. Eight years ago Mrs
D .ug,ss might have been the mistress Of
the White House. Now she Is good
mans happy wife.

The Vtriuts Of Bornx,

The washing-women Of Holland and
Belgium, SO proverbiaIly clean, and who
get up their linens SO beautifully white,
use re fined borax as washing powder, in.
stead of soda, in the proportion Of q large
handful of borax powder to about ten
gallons of boiling water they save in
soap nearly half. All the large washing
establishments adopt the same mode.
For laces, cambrics, etc, an extra guam
uty Of the powder is used, and for erino-
lines t=equlring to be made stiff strong
solution is necessary. Borax being q
neutral salt, does not in the slightest de-
gree iniure the texture Of the linen; its
effect is to soften the hardest water, and
therefore it should be kept on the toilet
table. To the taste it is rather sweet, is
used for cleaning the hair, is an excel
lent dentrifiee, aud in hot countries is
used in combination with tartaric acid
aud oiearbonate OF soda as q cooling
beverage,

The circumstance itself attracted but lit
tie attention at the time, and that only
among but few persons. The lady was
well dressed, we'll educated and hand

~, sought no scquaintsDces, and was
0ever seen by any except those ia the
immediate vicinity of her Temporary
stopping place. Several weeks passed
by and the lady herself disappeared, bus
not without leaving living souvenir in
the hands Of her entertainers. The Incl
dent was talked about in our commu-
nifty for awhile and soon forgotten.
Yesterday morning, at the Atkln
House, in this city, 8 woman died. She
had no friend or relative to attend her

ago and took s room, com planning Of iii-

Improved Method or Heating Railroad
Cars.

The recent horrible deaths resulting
from the burning of railroad cars, when
overturned or broken to pieces by acei-
dent has directed the attention Of me-
ehanics and inventors to soma improved
method of heating these vehicles Of con.
veyRnce. An apparatus for this purpose
is nav being tested by the Michigan
Southern Railroad. It consists of 8 se-
ries of pipes passing along the sides and
beneath the seats of the care, connected
with cylindrical tank ineIOsing a coal
burning heater, and partly alled with
water, which is gradually converted into
heated vspor, which readily passes
through the pipes, al d returning TO the
tank, imparting heat to every part of
the car in proportion to the temperature
TO which the vapor is raised. The appa
ratUs is capable of holding enough coal
and enough water to last twenty-four
hours, and is said to require little or no
attention during the trip. This has one
meEit-ssfety. Whether 1t will heat the
cars sufficiently in intensely cold weather
remains to be determined, but the neces-
sity Of doiBg away with stoves warrants
any and every experiment.

Woman Suffrage.

In England the claim of the women is
steadily and persistently pressed. At first
it was received with some surprise and
treated as joke; but it has been made in
so many boroughs, by women of so unex-
ceptionable q position, and with the aid Of
such eminent counsel, that it has at last
proved its right to be seriously dealt with.
Its success in the County of Kent was, per-
haps, accidental, as the thirty-three women
were left on the register of voters because
nobody objected; but in London itself the
claim of woman named JANE ALLEN has
been argued like any other claim, and
finally admitted on legal and technical
grounds. This is the first judicial decision
in England in favor of the womans demand
for the franchise, and is Of real importance,
although the Revising Barrisler's Court is
somewhat irregular tribunal. Mr: ANS
1EY, who rendered the decision, is man
of some note at the Bar aud in literature.
lie was in Parliament from lS4i 10 1852,
and was afterwards Attorney General at
Hong Kong.
The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune sends to that paper ne fol-
lowing statement relative to the decision:
"Mr Anstey has based his decision distinct
" upon the statement that women formerly
