TEXAS sTArE FAVE.

We acknowledge with thanks the re-
ceipt Of complimentary tickets for the
second annual Texas State Fair, to be held
at Houston, under the auspices of the
Agricultural, Mechanical and Blooded
Stock Association of Texas, commencing
on Thursday, May Is, proximo.
There is no means by which the agri-
cultural and other sources of wealth can
be more rapidly developed than from the
stimulus Of competition, induced by an
institution like the Texas State Fair. The
favorable effects of the Louisiana annual
State Fair upon the well being of our
State are too evident to be disputed, and
we are but a few years ahead of Texas in
this respect
The development of Texas is matter
of the greatest interest, not only to that
State itself, but to the surrounding por-
tons of the South. The Inauguration Of
the Texas State Fair has, therefore, been
hailed with pleasure by oil who have at
heart the interests of this section of the
Union, while those who know the charac-
ter Of the men of Texas feel assured that
every annual holding of their fair will be
an improvement upon the preceding, and
look to the happiet results therefrom to
the material, commercial, agricultural
and social prosperity. of the State.
The opening address at this second an
nual State fair will be delivered by the
Hon. Horace Greeley.

FORTUNE TEL1ERs AND NEcRoMANcERs.

FORTUNE TELnERs AND NEcRoMANCERs.
After giving the subject of necroman-
GERS and fortune tellers tolerably thoz
ough ventilation, the New York Tribune
winds up with the conclusion that most
of the sisterhood of seventh-sisters are
only aids to immortality, who teach wick
edness to thoughtless women. Itwould be
a startling array of figures if we could give
this morning the daily receipts of the for
tune tellers in New Orleans during the past
week. Each little neighborhood in the
suburb has its oracle, consisting of an old
woman, surrounded by darkness, and
often living in uncleanliness. Women,
and sometimes ladies, in considerable
numbers, visit this prophecies in her ken
mel, and consent to pay for the most trans
parent falsehood. They sometimes 60 TO

time some new invention that Aatters them

necromancer's four times during tho week,
and each time being assured of q different

The murder of this ~ lady On Sunday
night last ~ John 0szvey and Charles
Eazls. = one Of the most callous, cold
blooded homicides that has ever disgraced
any city: The destruction Of human lite,
We deeply regret to say. is of common
occurrence in our midst, but the men who
coolly plotted the death Of Mrs. collin.
ger were moved by diabolical spirit that
is not always evinced in the taking Of life.
An old man and his wife, whose sands
Of life were we'll nigh run. were occupying
. house, portion Of which they rented
to Earle. Here, as neighbors to the aged
couple, dwelt Earle, his wife and child.
The old man Zollinger was known to have
saved little money! few hundred dol
lars during long life of toll. This he
had laid up carefully to protect him and
his faithful wife against want, in case age
should disable and render them incapable
Of working. Earle and Garvey are young
men-men of families-and able to work
Yet they coveted this old mans money.
They knew that he was employed as q
night Waterman at Fassman's cotton
press, and in his absence, upon Sabbath
night, they stole into his premises, muir
dered his wife. and possessed themselves
Of his money.
It b hard to conceive more cruel and
wicked crime. The poor old man has
not only been robbed of his money, but
has been robbed of that which he
esteemed beyond AN earthly treasure-the
aged partner of his bosom-his wife. And
the men who .perpetrated the .horrid act
are themselves married-men, it is said,
who formerly served on the police in this
city. The fact that they were said to be-
long to the police recently led us to make
inquiry into the matter, and we are
assured they have not been connected
with the police since its organization un-
der the Metropolitan act But it is fear
full to contemplate that such men should
ever have been trusted with the guardian
ship Of the lives and property ofour people.
The frequency of murders, buts more
particularly Of this class Of murders. of
late, is appalling. It is but short time
since well known citizen Chan
dler-was waylaid in the early part of the
night and murdered for his money. It is
quite common to read of men being
knocked down and robbed. In fact our
city is evidently infested with men who
have no regard for life; who are ready to
take it whenever few dollars can be
seized.
We confess there is q responsibility
resting on the police in all matter of
crime. Our people look to the police for
protection against the murderer and the
robber. We are glad to know the police
were vigilant and active in ferreting out
the murderers Of Mrs. Zollinger, and
hope they will be equally successful in
bringing to justice the murderers Of Mr..
Chandler. Then let no sickly senti-
stand in the way of punish
ment. Let speedy trials be had, and
swift punishment fall upon those found
guilty. There has got to be some hang
ing done before this disposition to muir
der can be checked, and the sooner it is
the better it will be for So
ciety.

NOTES OF TRAVEL on ST. CHARLES
~ AVENUE,

AVENUE.
Whoever may have lounging for ad-
venturous travel and taste for that ex-
element arising from situations where the
perilous predominates over the agreeable;
whoever would encounter danger for the
manly pleasure of overcoming it, need
not resort to the wilds Of Africa with Liv-
ingstone, to the passage Of the Darien
with Strain, or tempt the dangers Of the
Rocky mountains with Carson. Instead
of this. let him hitch up q ope-hofse
buggy and attempt the route from Tivoi
Circle to Carrolltop on the western side
of the railroad, in st. Charles avenue
And when the attempt has been made the
fool-hardy adventurer will acknowledge
that danger can be found far nearer than
the glaciers around Mont Blanc or the
robber beset passes of the Romagna.
st. Charles avenue, as it now exists, is
gigantic illustration of the success
which crowns energetic efforts Of how
not to do it. In its earliest years, ere
effete administration and flatulent paving
companies had brought sin and miasma
within its borders, it was justly ranked
as one Of the finest thoroughfares through
out the city; indeed, for . long tins it
held the first rank among many beautiful
streets. Its kidth and openness was re-
dolent of breezy health. Thither wealth
thronged with her resources, and palatial
mansions in quick succession sprung
up; everything of the useful or
the ornamental in architecture was
invoked; all the resources of
floral and arboreous skill were brought
into -requisition, and, as consequence,
nowhere could be found a more crafty
ing combination of all that is pleasing
than drive along st. Charles avenue
afforded. It's picturesqueness was height
ened by the ever varying architecture with
which it abounded, no two dwellings, be-
ing of the same design. This is the street
the city authorities have chosen to con-
vert by their inertness into combination
of bog-hole and trap to fracture the legs
of unhappy animals. Its very height. has
made its fall the greater, for who can be-
hold it now and not call to mind the
determination of desolation' which befell
the mighty city of old, after it had fallen
into the hands of unrighteous rulers, who

If an earnest effort was made in that
direction, it is entirely probable that the
Geographic operator WHO does up the
news from France might be converted to
religion. He is enormously solicitous
about the churches and priests, and espe-
cially SO concerning the Archbishop OF
Paris. One day we are told that the arch
bishop has been abused and scourged, and
Immediately thereafter the hearts of the
faithful are gratifed at the announcement
of his escape to Versailles. To-day the
venerable old man is prisoner, and to-
morrow he will be free man. Now, how
ever, he is prisoner in the hands of the
commune, and it is his good fortune to be
the especial study of Bismarck. If the
archbishop is injured Germany will in
terfere, says the dispatch. Either this is
another canard, or all that has been told
hitherto is false. Bismarck does not make
up his mind in this squirting kind
of way. If he had intended to protect
the archbishop he would have done SO
long ago, supposing all the time, which
we have never done, that the venerable
prelate needed protection. Perhaps the
archbishop is not allowed as many privi-
leges as he once enjoyed, but that he is
in danger we do not believe now any
more than we did at first; and that Bis
marck intends to renew the war with
France in order to regulate a little re-
ligious trouble about which he has no
concernment whatever, is only the in
vention of a very weak mind. However,
we have had so pany similar follies sped
abroad on the electric lines at the ex-
pense Of the Associated Press that we
can pass this over to the dead loss 40
count.
