GENERAL SAM. HOUSTON'S WEDDING
SECRET.

The most singular incident in the e.
ventful life of Sam. Houston, and one
never hitherto explained, was the aban-
donment of the Governorship of Ten
nessee only three days after marrying
a young wife He became a voluntary
exile among the Indians OF the plains
for years thereafter, was made a great
chief, and only reappeared in public
when Texas was struggling for indepen
dence. The Galveston Meas lifts the
veil from the secret chamber of Hous-
toms heart by this statement: What we
know bout this matter is honorable
to him that we shall, for the first time,
put it in print. We may premise that
our information is directly from one
now deceased, who, during her life,
had right to know what caused that
strange episode in the life of the great
man. Governor Houston's first bride
was a Tennessee belle of surprising
beauty, and of considerable social rank.
She was, if not the affianced bride, at
least the sweetheart of a neighboring
gentleman, when Governor Houston
first sought her hand. Her family
being ambitious, forced the match, and
she was married. After retiring to her
bridal chamber, her conduct was such
as to cause him to suspect that while
her hand was his, her heart was
another's. She confessed the truth
when Intercepted, and while promis-
ing fidelity and wifely duty, declared
herself unable to love him. He at once
retired from the house, leaving his
bride as pure and spotless as ever. He
then resigned his position and went
among the Comanches. In due time
the lady sought and obtained divorce.

TOPEKA, Jan. "a


The first vote on United States Sena-
tor has just been taken. Before the
vote o resolution was passed in the
House, requiring the members to take
an oath that they were not influenced
by offers of bribery. This resolution
caused n bitter and excited debate.
Several members refused to swear. The
halls and galleries were densely packed
with people and much cheering was en-
gagged in. The vote in the Senate was
as follows: Caldwell s.; Clarke 8;
Crawford 5; Ross 1 5 scattering. In
the House the vote was as follows /:
Caldwell 80; Crawford % Clarke 81 /;
Ross a; Snoddy ID; the balance were
scattered on some eight or ten candi-
dates. Clarke has had big lobby here,
mostly Office holders and bummers. He
went in this morning blowing that he
had thirty-seven votes. He is badly
beaten and there is no help for him.
Caldwell makes good showing, but as
about fifty members have agreed to go
against him, it is now doubtful if he
succeeds. Crawford's friends have
great confidence. Atchison will not
support Leavenworth man. The bor-
der tier is mostly in the same fix, and
it is now thought they can both be
brought to the support of Crawford.
A few hang to the idea of bringing
out a new man but it is believed to be
too late for this movement to succeed
Crawfords friends wsll stick to him as
long as there is hope. The Neosho
Valley is united upon him solidly ex-
cept three votes below.

EDITORS News THE late cold wealth
er, which caused temporary suspen-
sion of outdoor business, has subsidized
and we are now enjoying the beauties
of mud, for which Kansas soil has be-
come famous. The spring tide of emf
grafton has already begun to pour in,
and every day in the week long trains
of emigrant wagons are seen passing
through the streets in search of homes.
Thirteen families from LeavenWorth
county came in last week, looking for
locations in this part of our beautiful
commonwealth. They want to live in
a country where they are building rail-
roads instead of destroying them. An
impression prevails to some extent that
this portion of State is but thinly set
tied. Nothing could be more errone-
GUS. No county in the State is more
thickly settled than Butler, considering
the disadvantages it had to contend
with in the early settlement, and in the
intelligence and virtue of the popula-
ton, it will compare favorably with
the older counties. There is still plen-
ty of good land to be had in this county
the Usage purchase, and people are
availing themselves of the opportunity
to get homes.
The grand festival and ball, which
was to have taken place on the evening
of the 10Th, on the occasion of the open
ing of the new g. S. Land Office build
ing, has been postponed.to Friday, the
9th, when it is expected there will be
some tall tipping of toes fantastic, and
toes not fantastic. Great preparations
have been made to make this the grand

vitation has been extended to every
body to attend.

THE HONG KONG CONSULATE.

This, which is among the most i'm
portant of the American consular ap-
pointments has been subjected to change
after being held by the recent incum-
bent but about one year. Col. G. n.
GOulding was appointed from Chill
cothe Ohio, and was appointed on the
recommendation of Senator Sherman.
He enlisted during the rebellion while
a democrat, and came out of the service
as a republican. 1t is said that the resi-
dent Americans aDd the minister at
Pekin as well as the Admiral at that
station have singned protest to the
president against his removal. 1t is
quite reasonable to suppose that those
persons are as well informed with re-
gard to his fitness as the hungry hordes
who are anxious for the place he occu-
pies.

turons as those of the Imagination, and
as the drama is calculated to most effec-
tually awaken them, we have expert
enced some of our most pleasurable
emotions in the theatre room. The
drama has its place along with other
arts. 1t has not reached its highest
state of perfection, neither has any in
strumentality of mere human invention.
But it has done good work in the
past. 1t has been at times the only in
structor of the people. 1t has often
fallen into abuses, and under the gov
eminent of bad men, it has sometimes
been devoted to bad purposes and used
for bad ends. But it was one of the
from barbarism to civilization, and
earliest aids by which men advanced
without it, and its kindred arts, culture
and taste would be unknown. Let its
excuses be watched and confronted,
just as all other excuses should be; but
do not strangle it because, like every
thing else, tits not WIDELY faultless.

THE PROFITS OF FRUIT CULTURE.
The Grape--Continued.


AT meeting of the American w1ne-
growers association of Cincinnati, Ohio,
in 1866, a committee appointed to re-
port on this subject, made the following
statement: "Mr. Noving's net profits
from two acres of Ives Seeding, were
S4.065. Mr.. Bojen's, for 1868, from one
acre and a half were $1,000, and for 1864
$4,000, and on one-third of an acre of
Delaware vines there was a net profit
of $1,000. Mr.. Mother gives as his net
profit on one acre and half of Della
ware vines at S2,255 in 1868, and at
So, 195 in 1864. His total expenses each
year being $780,"
A large part of the profits given
above are from the sale of roots and
layers, not altogether from the sale of
fruit.
Stephen Ii. Ainsworth, President of
the Fruit Growers Society of western
New York, picked from 73sl acres of Is
abellas 1882 pounds of well ripened
fruit, which he sold for S5,l62.52. The
expenses of growing, picking and pack
ing was $4I5. The cost of boxes,
freight and selling was S1,593 90, Ieav-
ing net profit of S4l4.5S per acre.
Frederick B. Peck, of the same town,
sold from acres 1900 pounds of fruit.
James B Cross, of East Bloomfield,
had from 95 vines, planted one rod
apart each way, 5,733 pounds.
John Beach, of the same place, raised
from Il of an acre 5000 pounds of very
choice Isabellas.
E. M. Bradley sold 40,364 pounds OF
Isabellas from Al acres, planted 1615
feet each way.
Mr.. Ainsworth speaking of his own
vineyard, says: Ny crop of Cencords
last fall yielded at the rate of II, 200
pounds to the acre, and sold at 10 cents
a pound.
DR.. Miner, of Honeoye Falls, has 1-1C
of an acre of Delawares, 4 years plant
ed, that yielded 600 pounds of fruit
worth in any market 20 cents a pound
at wholesale.
Examples of like character might be
multiplied to any extent, but this Will
suffice for the present.

estimates of the cost of planting and es-
tablishing vineyards, followed by esti-
mates of the profits to be derived from
grapes, in the vicinity of Emporia.

LATER CALDWELL ELECTED.

Special TO the EMPSRIA NEWS:
TOPEKA, Jan. 25.-In the Joint Con-
vention of the two Houses to-day, at
one o'clock p. NJ, Alexander Caldwell,
OF Leayenworth, was elected United
States Senator from the State of Kan
sas. The vote stood-Caldwell 81
Crawford "a. This result was brought
about by the failure of those opposed
to Caldwell to unite on a man. The
fact of this failure became known last
night at u o'clock, and dozens of men
who were con the fence" went over to
him. There is very little enthusiasm
over the election. Caldwell is princi-
pally indebted to Ex-Gov. Carney and
his friends for his success. :.

The following telegram to the Albany
IN. " Arg,ts win be interesting to
beef consumers generally, and to cattle
men in particular:
NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Inquiry has re-
Gently been made in regard to the cattle
disease, of firm regarded as the most
extensive packers of beef and pork in
the country. The remedy they propose
for consumers is, to cook all beef thor
oughly, and to avoid eating rare beef.
The beef disease they consider much
more dangerous and extensive than the
diseases of pork. Thus far, the only
cattle free from disease, are Texas cat
tie, 100000 of which were driven from
Texas in 1870 for slaughtering. The
cattle from the Western States are bad,
but the worst cases, thus far, are from
the Eastern States.

everything by turns, Free-soiIer, Re-
publican, gallant soldier, as well as SOL
der of fortune, bankrupt cotton planter,
bankrupt politician, absurd Democratic
Candidate for the Vice Presidency, and
retired Statesman. He can't stay in the
Senate long without making some sort
of turn; and whether he supports the
Democrats or fights them makes very
little difference, he will hurt them all
the same"
