PROSPERITY OF TEXAs.-According to the
general estimate of the present crop of cot
ION in this State, and the amount that will
probably be brought to this market, there
certainly appears to be some reason to anti
cipate great Improvement in the general
prosperity of the State, and in the business
activity of this city, even though our pc
litical condition may not he improved.
There is q pretty general conviction that
our condition, politically, cannot be made
much worse. The receipts of cotton in this
market since September lst have been
%, 2Gl bales, which, as prices have ruled,
are worth not less that 500 per bale, cur
rency, or 50 ,226,l in all. 1t is believed
by many that the cotton yet to be received
here must be six or seven times as much as
has been received, and if the price is main
tanned the receipts for cotton alone will
probably amount to fifteen millions Of
dollars hut to this are to be added the
receipts for other exports, such as wool,
hides. beef, cattle, sc. Our total exports
in 1860 were So, S73, l72. Although, there
fore, there has been considerable falling
off since that time in the cotton crop, yet
the total value of our exports Is much
larger now than then. We refer to these
statistics to show our readers that in Texas
at least we have good reason to hope for
better times and that as regards our ma
terial prosperity there is no ground for
dependency. We could easily name many
new sources of revenue, many new branches
of profitable industry, many new products
for export that were not known IN 1861
all Of which are beginning to contribute to
our prosperity Galveston NeacS.

DEATH OF AN OLD PRIsoNER.-A Paris
letter Of the 9th ultimo says d" A convict
named Decarmin died this week in Baulic
prison. Committed to Jail in 1915 for
usurping Marshal Brune's name, he spent
forty-eight years of his life in prison. He
was Marshal Brune's servant. He stole
his masters uniform, went to Valencien-
mes, held q review of the garrison, and
after it borrowed considerable amount OF
money from that towns commander. After
this crime there was scarcely d penal Of
fence which he did not commit. He never
broke prison rules, and won the keepers b.
his courtesy, good nature, and docility.
His health was unimpaired by his long con-
6nement. The week before he died he was
at work, although he had attained the adj
vanced age Of ninety-one years.

"YoU ARE ALWAYS TYING Your SHOE"
The San Francisco Bulletin, October 26,
relates the following curious coincidence :
eve are informed OF a young couple who
reached San Francisco on the eve of the
earthquake of October 8, 1865, and who
were SO alarmed that they took the next
steamer for the East. AS nearly three
years elapsed without another remarkable
shock, this couple began to regret their pre-
cipitate abandonment Of Ell Dorado, and
concluded to try it again. They returned
to San Francisco by the steamer which ar
rived just before the earthquake of We'd
nesday last, and were for the second time
so much alarmed that they started back
again in the steamer which left Friday"

a PORTRAIT FOR THE TIMEs.-This sharp
portrait of the political Plate of our day
10 from a late sermon of Henry Ward
Beecher:
/ What is Pi1ate9 A Plate is one of
those courtly gentlemen-polished, tasteful,
expert-whois not disturbed nor warped By
convictions in oyer-meesure who looks
upon all moral qualities as a gambler looks
upon cards, which he shuffles and plays ac-
cording to the exigency of his game-and
one just as easy as another. A Plate is q
mar who believes in letting things have
their own way. Do not sacrifice yourself.
DO not get in the way of movement. Do
the best thing. Live in peace with your
time. Be not like the fool, who stands in
his own light. Maintain good appearance
that is profitable. See to it that you do not
60 too far, one way or another. Study the
interests Of number one all through. And,
whatever comes, sec that you come out up
permost. Do not be gross, brutal, fanati-
cal-that is not profitable. Preserve your
balance. See that you keep your eye on
the chances. If they 60 this way, you go
with them far enough to reap them. Do
not be too scrupulous. Be just enough so
to gain your ends. Use men, use events,
use everything that is profitable. Do not
use your conscience too much. This is the
language of the Pilates of our day. Those
men who ride astride of the times, and of
administrations, and of policies; those men
who are polished, cold, calculating, specula-
ting-these are the pirates-the Pilates, |
mean. 1t was blunder of the lip; but,
after all, it hit right"

In reply to the question where parties have
more than FIVE but less than fifty gallons
of whiskey, Acting Commissioner Harlan
writes that "while the return called for By
section ffty.scven cannot be required from
any person who had but fifty gallons of dis
titled spirits or less in his possession on the
lst instant, it is nevertheless important to
the interests Of such persons that their
packages of such spirits should be marked
and stamped as prescribed in that section
otherwise, the spirits being without either
the tax-paid stamp or the stamp for stock
on hand, would be in danger OF detention
under section forty-one, and perhaps OF
seizure and forfeiture under the provisions
of section fifty-seven for the forfeiture OF
all distilled spirits found after thirty days
in packages of more than five gallons with
out having thereon each mark and stamp
required therefor by this.act.'"
Section thirty-six would, in such cases,
throw the burden of proof on the
claimants, and as probable cause for sci
cure could, doubtless, in most cases be
shown to have existed, the expense and

AN INCIDENT OF THE SPANISH REyOLU-
TIoN.-1t must not be said contemporaries
Gus history has no romance, for one is con-
tinually humping against incidents which
disprove the assertion. For instance, in
this very hotel are residing young man
about twenty years af age and his father,
Guell y Rente by name. They have return
ed to Spain within the last few days. The
young man was sub-lieutenant of cavalry,
whose regiment WAS engaged in the battle
of Alcolea. The youthful officer mad one
horse killed under him and two wounded
during the four hours Novaliches withstood
the assault. Of the rcvolutionists. When the
majority of the royal troops changed sides
he remained with the few faithful, and
earned high compliment from his colonel
for his valor in action. But the Colonel
and the rest presently followed the exam
pie of the majority, and the young man
was left alone. He then broke his
sword in two, cast it at his colonel's feet,
and set off to join his father in Paris, but
not until he learned that the whole army
had deserted the royal cause. "Why are
you here ?" his father inquired. "Because
there remain no soldiers for me to COM
mand. l have remained faithful to the
last moment, and now come to you" The
answer was, Embrace your father, my
boy. You have behaved like man Of
honor and Spanish gentleman. You have
paid back the debt you owed to the Queen
Tor your education in the military school,
and now your country claims your services.
Come with me. We will return to Spain"
There would be little more than passing in
terest attaching tothis episode, which had
direct from the fathers lips, in the pre-
sence of the son, were it not for the
fact that the ex-Queen is the lads aunt, and
his fathers sister by marriage. Don Fran
cisco dc Paulo, brother Of the late King
Ferdinand VII, the father of Isabella Sc
sunda, had two sons and three daughters.
The eldest of the latter, Dona Josepha, mar
ricd this Senor Guell y Rente. He is the
son of wealthy Cuban planter, and was
himself very rich. The marriage was q
clandcstine one, for the young couple ran
off. The result was the royal displeasure.
GuGll Y Rcnte and his wife were RELOCATED
10 Valladolid, and had much to endure at
the hands of their relatives. In 1915 he
headed movement against Narvaez, war
exiled, and repaired to Paris. Here he ex-
pended the greater part Of his wealth in
keeping up the appearance which the posi-
ton Of his wife, as own sister to the titular
King Of Spain, seemed to demand. No
doubt the new order of things in Spain will
open brilliant career for the lad. His
father is thoroughly rerublican.-C0rreS-

Touching INSTANCE OF CHILDISH DEvo-
T1oN.-Three children in New Brunswick
got estray. One was about six years of
age, the others four and three. It was a
wild region, and in wild weather. and at
the edge of night. From signs, it seems
that the six-year old soon felt sure there
was no hope of their being found, or find
ing themselves that night, and so it took
measures at once for the safe-keeping of its
little ones. Putting them in the most shell
tered nook il could find, it then stripped
away the most of it's own garments to put
on them, and set out to gather dry sea-weed
and brush to cover them up in and defend
them. Quite quantity of this had been
gathered and piled about the babes into a
sort of nest, and there they lay when the
people found them, still alive; but the six
year old matron and martyr lay out on the
shore dead Of the cold-lay beside the last
