THE TEXAN STEER.

i
The Texan steer is creature not
noted for his docility. We have
interviewed him from the nmbrsgeous
branches of high tree to which he
pursued us, and can therefore speak
credibly in regaId to his disposition
and characteristics He may be COM.
sidered fit companion for hungry
stomach when served p2hot in proper
quantities ON plate, but taken col
,lectiEely his presence, in connection
with a promenade or business walk,
jsnot desirable. We should infer
from all the information we have
been enabled to obtain, that he is a
native of Texas-a territory long
famed for the breeding of all manner
of cussedness. lie may be considered
a moral brute, for his tendencies are
extremely ,elevating. He is a philan-
thropfst, and has caused many an
humble citizen to take very sudden
rise in the world. These may be
counted his good points, if he has any.
On the other hand, he is an irritable,
discontinued fellow, and when penned
in crowded cars for days without food
or drink, allows his angry passions to
get the better of his discretion and
sense of propriety. In fact, he
becomes very much excited, and, we
may here state that we have at times
seen him 'corned.' While in. transit
through the city in such an exasper-
sted frame of mind, he will, to- speak
technically, 'bolt," and appropriate to
himself the freedom of the city, al
though not rendered him in . gold
box by the authorities. His atten-
tionsto the pedestrians ara expressive.
You will see him trot along, to all
appearances amicably, and then all of
a sudden the deceitfuI cnss viii go"
for you, and you must accept both
horns of the dilemina. When Au-
gustus, after the cares and anxieties of
the busy day, takes his stroll with
Leonora, asudden ascent, occasioned
by tremenduous motive power re-
ceived from the rear, is highly morti-
flying to him, while rude and forei-
Bile disarrangement of her Grecian
bend is equally distressing to the fair
one. With the manifestation of these
proclivities he hassucceeded In bring
ing himself decidedly into bad odor
with our citizens, and iss8orthy of
being yoked with the Hamburg canal
as a nuisance of the first water We
understand the common council will
adopt measures to abate him. How
far they will succeed remains to be
demonstrated. The drivers have been
"batin" him ever since he ,emigrated
from his native heath, without accom-
plishiDg any very beneficial results
that we can perceive. But one thing
is certain, and that is, if he be allowed
to continue to do what he pleases"
about oarItown, the undertaking bus
iness will improve; therefore, in or
der that action be promptly made 70 +
his suppression, itsis earnestly hoped
that Q few aldermen may be tossed. =

FOREIGN Markets.

Zerah Colburn, who shot himself near
Boston a few days ago, was ssad example OF
the uselessness of talent without moral
balance or fixed principles in life. He was
8 nephew of the celebrated natural mathe'
NAUTICAL calculator whose name he bore, and
was born in New York State in 1882. lie
spent his early days at hard labor on New
Hampshire farm, but developed such
mechanical ability that he filed important
positions in locomotive works at Boston,
Richmond and New York, while still very
Young man. Next he became editor and
proprietor of the New York Railroad AduO-
cate, and possessed such powers of memory
that for months he kept no books but
trusted to his recollection in regard to the
falling due Of subscriptions and the omls-
zion of advertisements.
1t is said that he never made mistakes in
this particular. But, though successful,
he was too restless to remain in one place
long. After embarking in land speculations
in lows, and afterward engaging in the
manufacture of patent tires, he went to
England, where he became editor OF the
Engineer. After few months stay abroad,
he returned to this country and started q
mechanical journal in Philadelphia. 1t was
not success, and he soon went back TO
England, where he resumed his connection
with the Engineer, conducting the paper
with great skill, and becoming famous as
an expert in regard to difficult engineering
problems. Overwork and irregular habits
gradually shattered his mind. He arrived
in the United States, few weeks ago, a
broken down man, and, in fit of insanity,
put an end to his life.- Cincinnati Gazette.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-05-25

An exceedingly queer story concerning
the New York Tribune was related as a fact
by the Rev. DR.. Jessup, in argument for the
need of medical college in Syria. A
hakeem or native doctor one day came to
him and asked for few old newspapers, to
which appeal he responded by the gift of a
few we'll worn copies of the Tribune. A
fortnight after, the grateful recipient came
back to him in wonderful spirits, and
thanked him most heartily for the gift, in
viting him to go and eat grapes and figs in
his vineyard, saying: 81 thank you very
much for those old journals. There is
nothing like Them; they have done wonders
for my patients" What was DIR. Jessup's
surprise, on entering the house of the
quack, to be invited to look into an earthen
jar in which these newspapers had been
soaked to pulp in water, and then in olive
oil. quantities of which astounding mixture
had been swallowed by this fellows credu-
lous patients, with such amazingly benefi-
cial results! The old hakeem gravely
thought it was the magical charm of the
printed letters that did the business!
