HORACE GREELEY,

The philosopher, the statesman and hu.
maniiarian has passed from among M,
iblngs Of earth. The telegraph tells us b,
died On The evening Of Tho 10th uliimo
penc sfnlly and quietly. His was q career
IN arked for forty years by uniiring labo'
and careful study, 10 tho end Of the per
feet development OF nll the better things
lin human nature. Diligent In research
bold and Incorporating In declaration,
aho welded IN influence over The minds Of
i'hc people Of this country possibly greater
than that Of any other living man Of his
day and time. Beginning life poor ant
unknown, in the pursuit Of n calling con-
Ssonant with his feelings, and filled will
The great possibilities Of good II contained
I he kept straight on in the face Of vicissi
\ inde and rebuff, confident In the potentcy
of labor and oonscien tious fealty to duty
3by dint ofthese, together with strict oh.
Sservance, unchanged and Hnchan geable
! of the rules of the highest code Of honesty
and conservatism-time crowned his la
n bors with success, success, through the
good It has wrought made part and parcel
Of o nations pride and glory.
! In 1888, Mr.. Greeley, in connection
1with Mr.. Story, published the first penny
adaily ever published in the world. In 1910
the "Daily Tribune" first saw the light oil
1day under his immediate control, the
weekly edition appearing in the autumn
Of the same year, the New Yorker and
LOG Cabin having been merged therein
In 1913 he represented his District in New
Y ork in Congress as wing, which party
up TO the time of the organization of the Re
publican party, had his most jealous
support.
A repetition Of events, great Of radical
changes in our political and social condi-
ton, in which the subject of this played SO
conspicuous part-would be more than
useless, unnecessary indeed, to tell the
American public Of his early struggles
| with fortune and stern unt1inching adhe'
sion to what he believed 10 be the right
of the grand battle he fought and won
against the people of our own South
and of the greatness of the mans heart
when, flushed with victory over an honor.
able foe, he cast prejudices and mean spite
aside, offering his name and influence sue
4cessfully to the end Of the liberation OF
Mr.. Davis, making glad the hearts CT our
whole people, and adding new laurels-
those of Christian charity--to his well,
won chapter Of greatness.
1 Although reared in tho school of bitter
est opposition to Mr.. Greeley, the writer
hereof, together with every true man on
woman of the South, admired the christian
admired the patriot, loved and reveren
ced the motives impelling him at every
3sacrifce, to stand forth the champion OF
our rights and tho denouncer of our
wrongs, and we stand to-day in the midst
,of great grief that we, our country. and
the whole world, has lost him. A Nation
bows stricken head in anguish, and a
world in pity, that Horace Greeley no Ion
ger lives, and joins in blessings upon the
good mans life in this and those unknown
worlds beyond the role of time.

the history of Stephen M. Ballew
who was hanged here on the Oath

The book contains over 200 pag
es, embracing an account of Bal.

liar idiosyncracics crop out, as
we'll as the testimony in full upon

murder of James p. Golden in this

book of interest to those having a
knowledge Of the facts in part, and
to persons generally, who have a
taste for observing human nature
in its most depraved aspects. The

and never surpassed in the bold

ANOTHER RAILRoAD.-We had
the pleasure of an hours converse
ton yesterday with that energetic
railroad man, Paul Bremond, and
are glad to hear that the compile.
ton of the main line of the Central
Road was so nearly accomplished
and that rs soon as connection is
made at Red River with the NJ,
X. and 4. road, that all the ener-
gies of tho Central will be concon.
trated on both branch lines. The
trunk line to Red River will be fin.
ished early in January, after which,
if proper inducemer is are offered or
assistance afforded, the Central
will construct branch road from
some point in Navarro, through
Kaufman, Hunt, and intervening
counties, to a poiLt on Red River,
probable crossing opposite old Fort
Towson, in the Choctow District,
thence on to Fort Smith, connect
ing with branch of the Atlantic
and Pacific road, opening up one
of the finest countries on the globe
and shortening the route between
Galveston and st. Louis one hun
bred and twenty-five miles. The
Central Railroad Company are
achieving a reputation for energy
and financial ability second to no

INSTITUTION FOR THE BLIND,

austin, Texas, Nov. l8, 1872.
4 The State Institution for tho education
aof the blind pupils having recently and
materially enlarged its accommo dations
1 is ready to receive that unfortunate class
sof our scholastic population who are de.
apriyed OF sight. The Institute is not an
Easy lum for the aged and infirm, nor hos
apital for the sick, but is strictly school
dof instruction and industry, where all the
branches of a solid education are taught,
together with music, vocal and instrument
5tal, needle-work and bead work for girls,
broom and chair making for the boys, and
such attachments for boys and girls as
their capacity may be found TO fit them
! for.
| There are scores of sightless childen at
this moment scattered through the coun-
ties of our vast State, living isolated lives,
iuninstructed and unemployed, without
prospects or hopes, burden to themselves
;and care upon their friends. To this
iafiiicted class our Institute extends invi-
3tation and welcome. 1t offers them, free
sof al. charge, the comforts of well con-
Quoted homo, careful personal and moral
training and such practical instruction
las will enable them to become self-sup-
porting members of society.
An earnest appeal is made to you to for
ward the usefulness Of this benign State
'charity by communicating to the Superin-
tendent those cases Of blindness that may
icome under your observation, to many of
WHOM the objects and even the existence
Iof an Institution for their benefit are IN
known.
All blind persons between the ages of
seven and twenty-four years, who are
residents of this State, of sound, moral
h abits and free from disease, are eligible
for admission. Parents and friends are
called upon for no outlay beyond travel

earnestly invited, and will receive the i'm

What of the Schools :

Editor ofthe Dallas HERALD.
have travelled good deal over the east
srn and northwestern portion Of the State,
and heard much in regard to your grow
ing and prosperous little city. Not the
least in the minds Of the people, is the
Dallas Female Institute, in charge Of Prof.
". II. Scales, and belonging to Trinity
which, ms much as your lively
trade, is attracting attention Of those di-
,rectly interested in educational facilities.
But see an article in the Dallas News,
headed 'sOur Schools" which is quite dis
paraging. These are quotations from that
ARTICLE:
ut is not very pleasing to our enter
prise in educational matters, that there
ihould be but two schools, and they not
veil supported. "Thsre are too many
,hildren growing up in idlsnsss and il
|norance here.
Now Mir. Editor, what about the schools
il seems TO me that the editor Of the News
certainly has been misinformed. Abroad !
he Dallas Female Institute is believed to
be one Of the best aud most literally sup

the Legislature at its approaching session
10 grant 10 the new railroads now being
built and projected, l6 sections of land TO
the mile, thus placing them on the sane
footing as the railroads which were char
tered and begun before and during the
war. All these roads have received state
sid--sone Of them in money, and all Of
them in lands, and we see no good reason
Why, The new roads should not have the
same advantages. wichita presents
the subject in plain, candid and truthful
manner, aud We ask the sttentien Of our
readers to his article. We trust the Leg
islsfurs will act fsvorsbly in the matter,
now that the Amendment to the Consitu-
ton has received The sanction Of the
people.
