TEXAS cows.
How to MEX .En.

When We were small boy not
more than $50 high" we used to get
TO take the leading character In the
play of misplaced confidence quite
often. This used to happen with
such melancholy freque ncy that
we got so that we did not care
much about it any way. Our uncle
used 10 ask US to ''turn the grind
stone few moments and I'll give
you something" every once in a
while and all we ever remember
to have received was an invitation
to s'run home now sonny" when we
got done.
All these things amounted 10
nothing. 1t has been reserved for
a female Texas COW TO cap the eli
max for Us in the ways of deciet
and wickedness. we got a Texas
cow from a chap that owed us, the
other day. "Been MIXED" he said,
and we guess she had; but by a
calf on four legs instead of two.
We found the cow in the pen when
we went home. She was meek look
ing beast. Looked like she might
be able to discount Mary's little
lamb in the dociIity business, but
she was another one of your "whit-
ed sepulchres," and her conduct
made US grieve before we got done
with her. She was tied to post.
We took off our coat and walked
in to get little milk for tea. The
wife of our bosom stood by looking
at us. We stopped down to COM
mence Operations, when all at once
we came to the conclusion that we
had been struck By lightning. That
quiet looking beast had Preached us
one" with her hind foot. We felt
bad abot it when we got up and all
at once the idea seemed to strike
us that we would just persuade that
bovine that she ought to be little
more careful where she put her
hoofs. With this end i'll view we
picked up a pItchfork handle and
started for her. She broke loose, and
we broke too-over the fence. You
could easily, count at least one OF
our ribs-the one she scraped the
meat Off of. If we get able to be
out before that COW gets away from
the place we'll try small sized
mountain howitzer on her.
And now, reader, if you have got
such q thing as mother-in-laW
about you-one of the kind tina
delights in keeping your mind &C
tive in the process of wondering
when she'll die, anyhow, let one
who has gained his wisdom through
much woe say to you, get you one
of these long horn Texas cows
and try and persuade that maternal
relative of your wife's that she's a
gentle brute, and then perhap.
4 you can coax the old lady to try t
, milk her, You won't have a sure
thing on a funeral, but my word fol
. it, you will be afforded some balm
, for your wounded soul In contem
plating the mastery way in which
that COW will lift the old gal ovel
, the fence.
But you want to know the way
to milk one of these COWS do you
That's one of the cares wherein
ignorance is bliss. Itwould indeed
be folly to become wise about such
a matter. When the poultice is tax
en- off of our side, we think we will
be better able to tell how much
buckshot it will take to kill an aver

TERRIBLE RAILROAD DISASTER

Results Of Criminal Carelessness.

St. Louis, August lS.-An appal-
ling accident OCCURRED on the Chica-
go = Alton railroad Saturday night,
By which nine persons were killed
outright aud some thirty more or
less injured. The regul. ~ passenger
train left Chicago at p. IN. Satur-
day as usual, and when three miles
north of Lamont and about tw euiy :
two miles from Chicago, at 10 20 D.
M, 1T met and collided with coal
train CT twenty-five cars, going
north. The accident occurred on
curve, both trains running at high
rate of speed. The shock was ter
rible. Both engines left the track
and passed each other, that of the
coal train striking the baggage car
of the passenger train q few feet
from the end, showing it off the end,
breaking the coupling between if
and the smoking car, which the en-
CINE struck square in the end, aud
with srPh forge as to THROW the for
ward end in the air, so that the en-
gine ran under II, tearing the floor
completely out, and hurliag the
iifty or sixty gHinrtqnates who were
in the car in struggling mass 10

chance for escape. And now ensued
o scene of horrors which cannot be

train, who was unhurt, and num-
Der of passengers from the rear

ored to assist the poor victims, many
of whom were fearfully scalded. |
Seven died soon after they were
taken out and fOBr have sInee died.
The unhHrt passengers took bedding
from the sleepcrs, and lninistered as |
much as was possible under the cir |
to the wounded, while |
Russell hurried back on |

chargeable to that interesting class
of Southern society.
The editor OF the Topeka Blade,
who has lived in the south for some
years, gives the following more
probable explanation of how these
States incurred these debts:
''This Indebtedness has been
brought about principally since the
war, by financial sharpers, who
went south and procured the pass
age of laws by the various Legisia-
tures, authorizing the issuing of
bonds, for the protested purpose of
building up the places made waste
by the war, but really, for the pur-
pose of splendid financial opera
TONS We do not propose to de-
fend the csrpet-baggers, but we
know they were not alone to blame.
The prime ToreTS OF all these mil
lions coupled, and do now occupy,
high financial position in this coun-
try. They said "6oRds," and whis-
pered confidential words into the
ears of greedy Representatives of q
demoralized people, and bonds were
produced, 1t made no difference
whether the members of the Legis'
latures were carpet-baggers OIL
Southern c1ivalry-they all wanted
money, and money was the allurine
bait.
The indebtedness of Georgit
illustrates this fact. Under the Re
publican, or carpet-bsg administra
ton, the debt of the State had reach
ed but So, 500, GOO including her deb
before the war; but In three year
time, while the State was under the
administration of ''her own natiY'
children" the debt increased Il
S15, 96l 500, or more than doubled
her former indebtedness. Thi
state of things holds out but httl,
inducenent 10 people to go SOutl
to live. Emigrants do not wish L
seek homes where from one-eightl
to one-quarter of their property a
once becomes mortgaged to pa,
public debts.

Great Bend land agents are locating

The railroad land is being rapidly

The Great Bend Progress has word
of warning against cooperative colo
mics, so called. The Petersburg colony
it pronounces q swindle. 1t pro-
nounces DIR. S. G. Rodgers, who figur-
ed in the papers about year ago, and
who contested seat in the last legis-
lature, swindler, who left board bill
unpaid when he departed. 1t says
this same Doctor is trying to work up
another colony on the X. P. road. We
suppose the Progress does not intend
to pronounce against all cooperative
settlements, but against those gotten
up by strangers to make 4 raise.
Those intending to come in colonies
should be careful as to the managers,
and as to the details.

CHANGE IN THE CoNNoNwEALTH
Captain Henry King, has become
che sole proprietor and editor OF
the Topeka Commonwealth. He
has been the editor of the paper for
some time, and was formerly editor
OF the Daily State Record, when
Il was . power in the land. We are
glad OF this change, because the
Captain has been always hampered
by having to consult the Interests
or cumbersome corporation ina his
writings heretofore. Now he is
free to talk and act for himself, and
we expect the Commonwealth to be
better than ever. We have not
learned what becomes spf our old
co-laborer, s. 5. Prouty, bat trust
the gods will deal gently with him.
The CemmoRW wealth is the paper
for this part of the State, and we
trust it will be supported literally,
as we have no doHbt bat that IL will
merit such . support.
