THE TEXAS EDITORS IN MISSOURI.

The Hamilton Courier of Monday
last, has seen the "TeXas Rangers" as
he called the editors now on trip
from this State, and has a long article
OH them, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
"The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
having let daylight shine out of the
Empire Of Texas into the United
States, the editorial fraternity of the
Empire have come out interviewing
the rest of mankind. They assembled
at Sherman, where after the formation
of State Editorial Association, and
the transaction of the usual amount OF
formal business, they rose on iron
wings and flew northward, to see and
to be seen.
1t was Saturday afternoon when,
through the thoughtful carefulness of
the managers of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railway (Mr. w. r. Wood
ard, General Superintendent, General
Manager r. A. Stevens, and Division
Superintendent M. NJ. Towne), Especial
train was placed at the disposal of the
Mayor and Common Council of the
city, that they, in company with score
and half of the leading business gem
tlemen of Hannibal, might have the
pleasure of running out some thirty OF
forty miles to meet the northward
bound train bringing its precious cargo
of Texas brains and ililgence:
A run of less than two hours 0yRr 2
remarkably smooth and solid track,
brought the Hannibal delegation to
within four miles of Paris, where they
switched and awaited the arrival Of the
| party whom they sought to impress.
Nor did they wait long-for soon came

head the mammoth horns of Texas

a cotton plant, with its precious white

The DenGIN Elecis OF 4 hbsintl,c.

During the session of the Medical
Congress at Lyons one day was set
apart for the study of alcoholic stimu-
lants. On that occasion the physician
of the st. Anne Asylum, DR.. Magnan,
comparing the chemical action of al
chool and ahsinthc on man, drew the
conclusion that the fOrmr acts more
slowly, gradually provoking delirum
and digestive arrangement, while at
sinthe rapidly results in epilepsy.
Then, producing Il couple of dogs, he
treated one with alcohol and the other
with essence of ahsinthe, this latter be-
ing the active principle OF the absinthe
liquor which is commonly drunk. The
alcohOlized brute could not stand MP,
became sleepy and stupid, and, when
set ON his legs trcmblcd in an inert
mass; the other dog experienced 1T
once frightful attacks of epilepsy.
Analogous effects are produced in man
kink.

EDUCNTIOS IN TEXAS.

Perhaps no State IN the Union en-
joys greater advantages than Texas,
vet In the matter of education she APP
pears much behind the other States.
This is not as ii should be, for to arouse
great people, the interest, care ana
attention should be bestowed on her
trimming. Ever since the world began
we have noticed that in proportion to
the spread of education, 80 did that ma
ton thrive and prosper. We look back
to the historylof Ph9nicia and Car
thage, and discover that, according as
they bestowed attention to their train
ing, so did their greatness increase.
They first discovered the art of writing,
and although il was of n primitive,
rude kind, it gave them an advantage
over their neighbors which they did
not fail to use. They became the great
est traders in the world, and are the
inventors of many useful articles, OF
which glass is the most important.
But rs soon as their attention was
wholly bestowed on trade, and their
education neglected they lost their
power, and degenerated into four II
class nation, and to this day are only
know as an ancient and extinct race.
We have met with the greatest ignor-
ance in this favored State, and have
wondered that a people enjoying so
many advantages should mar them
by lack of sclf-culture. Eastern
Texas, perhaps, is worse off than any
other portion of the State, and in con-
nection with it, it might be well to
mention Van Zandt, Wood and Smith
counties. Here it might almostbe said
that they have not enough sense TO
pound sand. In many eases we FOUND
large families of whom not one was
able to read or write. Neither are the
farms In this locality in 80 good and
fourishing condition rs they are in
neighboRhoods where the blessings of
an education are appreciated. The
reason OF this is, that upeducated peo-
pie live kind of animal life, with
nothing calculated to elevate their
minds, and dead to all the noblcr in
stinct of human nature. In other
words they become hardened andindo-
lent. The time has now come when
education must become universal and
thorough. She must go hand in hand
with successful legislation and trade,
and all lovers of their country will lose
no time educating both their minds
and intellects.
Let the women, especially be well ed
ueated, for they exert good and salu-
tary influence Oh the world; therefore
their education should be commensu-
rate with their influence. In the COM
pletion of social life woman is mis-
tress of that which decides its hues.
Let her, then, be trained to WELD this
fearful power with skill and principle,
and for the salvation of social man.
Cato said, at is the Romans who gov
ern the world, but the women who
govern the Romans" TO the superior
perceptions and education of woman,
too, is due the discovery of this great
country. Christopher Columbus had
been turned away by Ferdinand of
Spain had not Isabella recalled and eX-
erted her influence in his behalf. For
the love and honor of our homes it
then behooves us to bestow the most
liberal culture on the female mind.

While at Long Branch recently Gen
eral John G. Breckinridge called on
President Grant, whom he had not
seen since the Mexican war, where they
were fellow officers and very intimate.
The President greeted Mr.. Breckin-
ridge very kindly, and referred to the
last time they met, which was when
Grant was slightly wounded in one of
the Mexican engagements. They called
up old memories, and old friends, and
traced the latter into after life. There
is hut q years difference in the ages
of the two gentlemen, General Grant
being flfty-two, and General Brcckin-
ridge fifUy-one.

The Patterson Press says: The loco
motive business was never briskcr i'll
Paterson than now. The months pro-
duction Of the three establishments is
the heaviest yet chronicled for one
month. Including three sent up to
the Erie depot to-day, the total num-
bcr shipped from the Erie depot during
August has been thirty-niue, or ut the
rate of four hundred and siXty-eight
per year. This is very nearly equal to
the annual production of the great
Baldwin Locomotive Works of Phila-
delphia, which last year turned out
nearly five hundred engines a year, or
half of the production of the entire
United States. In 1850, the three con-
Germs in this city turned out only one
hundred and fifty engines for the
whole year-Rogers, ninety; the New
jersey Works, thirty, and the DAN
forth Works, thirty-siN. An increase
of three hundred per cent in twelve
years is pretty good.
