not to attack the Indians. Mckay with

The Sherman Courier pays the following
just compliment to our talented young
friend and fellow-townsman:
We take occasion to say, in defense of r.
H. Bordeaux, representative from Cooke
county in the late Legislature, against in
situations of unfair dealing on his part to
the prejudice of any portion of his district,
that his record in that body will compare
with the best made in that Legislature.
Not always ION the floor" like some mem
bers; when he did rise to speak he was lis
tened to with profound attention. His in
huence was felt and acknowledged, and
with his fellow members he was universally
and deservedly popular. The name Of
Dick Bordeaux is as familiar in Austin as in
GAINESVILLE, and no man ever thought of
breathing his name in connection with any
act dishonorable. He is certainly one mem
Der of whom it may be said: He ably,
faithfully and honestly did his duty to his
constituency
We regret to see newspapers thOughtlessly
shooting" at Bordeaux, when if they would
stop to investigate, there would be no neces-
sity for these remarks by us.
Northern Texas has no more efficient
member in the Legislature than Dick Bor-
deaux. We can say this without disparage-
ment to other members believing that they
one and all, will bear us out in this opinion.
It may not be inappropriate to remark
here that if some of the gentlemen who pre-
side over editorial columns of the American
press would give more thought to what they
write for the public, many articles would
remain unwritten and our land and country
be the better.-Gainsville Gazette.

COMMUNICATED.
A Word or Two About ahs approaehfn,
Democratic Convention.
HUNrsvnLE, July :, 1873.


Editors Democratic Statesman:
In the first place It ought to meet in
Austin for many reasons not necessary to
mention. As this body is looked to with
much interest by the people, a word or two
now, as to its policy upon some important
questions, may not be out of place. II is to
be hoped that the people in their county
meetings will take interest sufficient to Sc
lect the best men Of their respective coun-
ties as delegates, and when assembled. its
policy should be not to allow the question Of
repudiating the bonds issued to the Interna-
tiOnal Railroad Company introduced into
the convention. Why should it, II is not,
and cannot be, legitimately made an issue.
Did not the last Legislature say to all the
world that the State of Texas would pay
all her legal liabilities2 Let us stand upon
this resolution. If this debt should be de-
termined by the courts of the country to be
a legal liability against the State, do not
the people stand pledged, as far as their rep
resentatives can bind them, to pay these
bondss The late Legislature, it is true, ex-
pressed an opinion as to the legality of these
bonds; but at the same time, they said the
State would pay all her legal liabilities. Sup
pose the highest Judicial tribunal, by its
consideration and Judgment, should say
that these bonds are legal liability against
the State.
In that event, the case put into syllo-
gism would stand thus. The State OF
Texas viii pay all her legal liabilities, the
bonds issued to the international Railroad
Company are legal liability, therefore the
State of Texas win pay the International
bonds. In this view, where is the necessity
of forcing other questions upon the Con-
ventiOnl None whatever, unless there is a
repudiatiRg party growing up in this State,
which do not believe. Let us thus keep
this question out of our Convention-we
can all stand upon the resolution passed by
our Legislature, to-wit: That Texas will
pay all her legal liabilities, without Grimm
alton or recriminatiOn, without saying this
man is bond payer and that one repudi-
ator. Let us come up to the Convention,
animated by one spirit, and place before the
people Democratic ticket, of such purity
and ability as will command the support of
our people-a ticket that will challenge the
admiration of all true Democrats

The Three Richest Men I'm the United
States.

They are William B. Astor, Alexander T.
Stewart and COrnelius-or Commodore
Vanderbilt-all residing in New York
Astor's wealth is mainly in real estate and
its revenues; Vanderbilt's mainly in rail-
road stocks and their dividends; Stewards
is in goods, houses, stores factories, lands
and stocks. The aggregate wealth of each
one of them is supposed to be somewhere
between seventy-five and a hundred mil
lions, which looks rather heavy. Nobody
knows exactly; they couldn't tell them
selves within million or two. Those who
know most about their affairs put their fig
nres highest, and say that the income tax
returns of few years ago, which showed
each of them to be worth between twenty and
thirty millions, gave no proper idea of their
real wealth. Aston lives unostentatiously
Vanderbilt lives in a three-story brick house
on third-class street; and Stewart lives in
marble palace on Fifth avenue more mag
nifcent than any other residence on the
American continent, and equalled by but
few in any of the great cities of Europe As
tor and Vanderbilt are New Workers by birth
Stewart is a native of the north of Ireland.
Astor is large, heavy man ofseventy, with
strong features and a rubicund face, indica-
tive of high living; Stewart is medium
sized man, rather slender and tall. of seventy
three, with face Ikea parchment, and
gives the impression of being hard up; Van
derbilt is a tall, slim, handsome, proud
looking manof nearly eighty and straight
as an arrow. Astor has heirs to his
estates; Vanderbilt has children to whom
he can leave his fortune; but Stewart is
childless. Astor's public benefactions are
confined to something like couple of
hundred thousand dollars, which he gave to
the Astor Library, and the two golden can
dlesticks, nine feet high, which he recently
gave to Trinity Church. Vanderbilt has
never made any public benefactions, except
ing steamship to the Government during
the war, till very recently, when he gave a
million of dollars for educational purposes
one half of this sum to found University
in Tennessee and the other half to another
educational institution. Stewart has always
had the reputation of being very close-fsted !;
but he must be credited with his million
dollar 'Home for Women" which will be
completed next year. Astor is rigorous
Episcopalian, Vanderbilt is an independent
Methodist, and Stewart is said to be in
clined to think for himself Stewart is a
scholarly man. Vanderbilt is not; Astor is
an accomplished man of the world.

1lr. Tyler Brand, who lives near Loaans.
vile, has large number Of ''bee stands
in his orchard, near his residence One day
last week his children were playing near the
hives. II is supposed that they commenced
fighting the bees, and the bees commenced
singing the children They Immediately
ran of, leaving the youngest, a child about
two years old. The cries Of the child at
tracted the attention of its mother, who
was at the house sick; she immediately ran
to its relief. By the time she got there the
bees were thoroughly Infatuated, and the
whole swarm was pouring out Of the gum.
until nearly every bee had left il. SIZE
seized the child and ran 70 the house, the
bees following, singing the child. When
she arrived at the house, being very feeble.
she tainted, and a'neighbor lady, who hf D.
pened to be on q visit there, fearing that
the child would be stung to death, picked
it up and started toward the woods.
The bees seemed determined not to let
the child escape, and followed her singing
her so severely that she had to drop the
child, when the bees covered it, continued
to sting. By this time Mr.. Brand. who was
working in a field near by heard the cries of
the children, and came to their relief. He
found the bees still lowering about the
child; and, our informant states, had 10
rub them of with his hands He then took
the child to the house, and went to work to
relieve its intense suffering.
He pulled out a large number of the
stings, and washed it with brandy. 1t had
been stung all over the face and head, and
even in its mouth and under its tongue.
With the kindly assistance of some of the
neighbors, who came over as soon as they
heard of it, the sufferings of the child and
its mother was considerably relieved, and
both of them viii get over it without any
serious consequences Herald.

Professor L. p. Yandell's Valedictorv Ad-
dress to the graduates of the Louisville
Medical School, gives, among other items.
the following advice about the treatment OF
the sick:
In all things, study the quiet, the ease.
the enjoyment of your patients. Give them
abundant fresh air and ice and cold water
and fruit, when they desire such things.
As to food, obey their appetites. Hunger
and thirst have been well STYLED our "phvs.
ical conscience which in the sick room Is
never to be disregarded. They are safer
guides in respect to diet and drink than can
be found in all our medical philosophy.
They make known to US what the living or
ganism needs Whatever sick people have
a true desire for, they ought, therefore. to
be INDUCED in. When your little patients
have been sick long time, and have become
anemic and emBciated, It may be for want
Of proper food, have them carried 70 the
table, and allow them to indicate bv signs
II they have no words, what their systems
require to build them up again. Infants
suffer great distress, when III, on account az
thirst, which they have no way Of making
know to you, except BY their means and
cries. You viii often Be delighted to see
how instantly their plants cease on rour

water. Dismiss from your minds then. and
everywhere discounfcnance the absurd no

THE FIRST CATERPILLAR. Concerning
the first introduction of this scourge upon
the seaboard, says the Macon Telegraph, we
have the authority of Mr.. John Copper,
NOW deceased,) a highly respectable citi-
zen of st. Simon's Island, and the father of
the late James Hamilton Copper, for saving
that it was originally imported from the
Bahamas in the seed island cotton. Quite
number of gentlemen had emigrated from
abroad to the chain of islands on the Caro-
lima and Georgia cost, and were very profit
ably engaged for several years in rearing
the long staple cotton. Finding that the
seed was deteriorating and running into
the upland, they sent back to the Bahamas
for new supply. The egg, it seemed,
had been secreted in some of these seeds,
and the very next season the fields of all
who used the imported article were infested
with caterpillars.
The winter on the coast was so mild that
the Larvae Of the insect survived the cold
season, and it has existed here ever since.
One of our own most reliable citizens has
often heard Mr.. Copper mention this fact,
which is, moreover, corroborated by the
knowledge that the Hessian fly is often
propagated through seed wheat in the same
way.
