hAlfMAN, oNtobtl w iN'''
To the Editor OF the Dallas lIcrald
In compliance with promise made
you when in your city last, | drop you
Il few lines that you and your many
readers may know that Kaufman has
not gone entirely 10 waste, and that
the people of our country are on the
march onward and upward.h Court
is now in session and rs n consequence
the streets present more business
like appearance than usual but of
course do not compare with the bus
tie and stir of your ilourishing city.
There has been considerable excite
melt in town for few days on ac-
count of an attempt by some culprit to
burn the court house and it Is thought
from the manifestations that the at
tempt will be repeated. There was
but little damage done, rs the fire was
accidentally discovered in time to stop
1t before it had properly taken hold Of
the building. The subject ofpolitics is
not discussed much at present but Sc
rious dissatisfaction over the action of
the Athens convention is being daily
developed and doubtless will continue
to Increase among the farmers, espe-
cially until the election.
w. b. Stirman was in nomination
for the Senate; but seems not to be
very acceptable to the true Democracy
of the District, rs perhaps you have
noticed in the Trinity Advocate and
the Canton Times. The cause of this
dissatisfaction is not generally known
throughout the district; but little is
known of Stirman In his county. b.
w. Grut bs, of this county, refused to
submit his name TO the convention,
and declared himself independent for
the Senate. a9
He Is a.yong man Of high aspira-
lions and an ndom table will, and is
universally liked in his county, andhas
many friends in the district.
The contest between the two aspi-
rants for the Senate is now opening
and will doubtless be one of eonsidera-
Die interest. Grubbs cannot be indr-
ced to come down, and II may be pre-
sumed that Stirman will not resi- III
the nomination. Respectfully,
KAUFMAN.

LET AN ExANrLE BE MADE.-The kill
Ing OF Engineer HENDRICKS, Of the Col
umbus Express, at Moundsville last even
ing, was the result Of gross neglect Of duty
on the part Of tho conductor or engineer
Tor both oil the freight train with which
the Express colIiaed. The Company'H
regulations required them to put their
train on the siding ten minutes tetore the
EIpreas was due. Yet seventeen min
utes later, their train was still standing on
the main track. This is the statement as
we have 1t from the Company's off,
GERS. We meGtion 1t for the purpose
Of expressing the belief that this
Is a case for the interpOsitiOn Of the
law. The persons controlling that freight
train are guilty Of nanSlaughter In the
killing oI HENDRICKS, and they ought to
be arrested, tried, and punished unless
they can show their blsmelessness. So
many men have been killed on that road
by criminal carslessness, which no pun.
ishment inflicted by the Company seems
adequate to correct thatitis time TO make
an example. Wesuppose 1t to be the duty
Of the Marshall county officials to arrest
these men and have them tried. VIII

W. w. Anderson, Of Montana territory
has been appointed agent for the indiana
at Milk River agency.
According TO Information received from
q gentleman OF high character in Arizona,
the recent developments In that territory
indicate that there has been great mis-.
management and probably fraud in the
conduct OF Indian affairs there. II Is not
alleged that the agents have all been dis.
honest, but they claim that through some
side pressure they are beng forced to re,
ccive supplies OF an inferior quality al
ruinous prices, the appropriations being
thus exhausted before the year IS hall
game. There Is great probability that
many of the Indians will be compelled to
leave their reservations and Gen. Crooks

PROP. W. B. CARPENTER shows In an
essay Just published that the Red Sea
loses annually by evaporation at least
eight feet Of water-some estimate II as
much as twenty.three ieet-and regains
this by the inflow from the ocean; that
the Caspian has been brought down from
d sea covering large part Of northern
Asia by the excess Of evaporation over
supply from rain and rivers, and Is kept
at It's present size and level blythe fact
that evaporation takes of all the water
which It's rain and river supply furnishes
that the rain and river supply Of the Black
Sea is nearly all taken up by evaporation,
leaving but a moderate amount to flow
out into the Mediterranean; and that Of
this last gleat sea the rain and river sup.
ply makes good less than one.third Of the
amount taken up by evaporation, the rest
coming from the Atlantic by way Of the
current flowing through the Straits OF
Gibraltar. Prof. Carpenter shows also
that the depths Of the Mediterranean arc
stagnant, and that their turbidity and de.
ticiency Of oxygen cause total absence
Of life.

QuCathing them an increasing population
Of Imbecilcs and idlers aHd criminals that
