About the domestic intelicities
on "Ashtabula heights" Duluth, the
Tribune of this week says:
The SMITH VS.. SMITH CAsE-As the pub
lie are of course interested in knowing what,
if any, the late developments are in the d.
voree case of Major J. L. Smith and wife.
we would say first that the Major is still in
jail and that those who, a week ago were re-
ported as ready to go his bail, have not, for
some reason, come to time neither has any
effort yet been made TO release him under a
writ of h"beas corpus, as VAS threatened a
few days ago. We are informed that the
Major is now waiting the return of County
Attorney Egan, in the hope that that official
will consent 20 reduction of bail, and that
he may thus secure bondsmen and escape
from "durance vile"
On the other hand, Mrs. Smith has, since
our last issue, withdrawn her first applica-
tion for divorce and filed another. alleging
additional threats and acts of cruelty; and
she has also obtained an injunction by which
the Major is forbidden 10 enter her house or
premises.
In our last issue we stated that Messrs
Setter Thompson were reported TO have
been retained. by Major Smith, in connec-
ton with Judge f. F. Parker; but We learn
that NessrS. 5. & T. desire TO be " counted
OUT unless they can have the sole manage
ment of the case
Judge Parker, in the meantime, professes
to believe that the proceedings of the com
plainants lawyers have been irregular aud
that he viii knock them higher than kite
when the case ecIues 10 trial On the con-
trary, Mrs Smiths attorneys have no fears of
such a result.
The above is about the status of the case
at present.

(, In the early settlement. of Texas,
as in that of Illinois and Missouri,
almost every one sough. locations in
the timber, having dislike from
some cause or other to homes on the
prairie How changed has this habit
become.
Now, the large majority Of inielli-
gent farmers seekthe prairies in all
sections, where the country is divided
into prairie and woodland. Experl-
ence has shown that the saving Of
labor in opening and cultivatlng
'land.for the first four or five years,
until roots and stumps become extinct
il. Immensely in favor Of the prairie.
Besides the rich black prairies Of
Texas are irexhaustible in fertility
never subject to overflow, are freer
from several classes Of insects and
those birds and animals which dep
rebate on grain and other crops.
Notwithstanding these facts how
ever, the sandy soil of this Sec
tion, generally in timber, are much es-
teemed by many, and by all for fruit,
vegetables and cotton. 81

DIrcIIEs.

To be d-iiched to be d--rowned
or not, ID This city, seems to be the
question that most interests orshould
most interest the damp deniscns OF
our fair little city by the banks Of the
Brazos, and wsll may it interest
them, for .thaaahger OF being floated
to the "olher shore" in one Of the
many fierce rain storms, such MS pre-
vailed here yesterday morning, is
very eminent; Every hole, every Low, ,
place, and every stfeet, alas! is filed
to overfowing with muddy, dirty
water, which observation-disclosures
if only the means were provided.
Why not provide them? How easy
it is to do that There is not city
on the continent where q thorough
system of drainage could be inaugu-
rated as cheaply as Waco. We have
Barron's Branch on the. northwest,
Waco Creek on the south and west,
and the Brazos on The east. The
drains in either section Of the city
need not be Of much length. The
water could be drawn fin either d.
rection at a cost that would be per-
fectly Insignificant when compared to
the great necessity. Take twenty.
five able negroes, and in two weeks
the work is done, and without any
formal or complicated system of
costly engineering. The state Of
things existing here yesterday, when
we consider the wealth and preten,
SONS Of Waco, were simply dis>
graceful. We don't own a foot
square of property in the city, and
are compelled to struggle to keep the
wolf from the door, but we Will give
fifty dollars to this enterprise, If the
property owners viii agree to furnish
the balance of the sum necessary.
We make this proposition simply be-
cause we are ashamed that strangers
who come here, some perhaps to set
tie, are driven away by this evidence
of our stiDginess and want of enter
prise. We have now daily commu-
nication wiih-the cities on the coast,
which are subject to the terrible raw
| ages Of yellow fever, which is always
more virnlentin dirty places ; and no
town can be clean without thorough
and perfect system Of drainage. Let
us qpia ''foolin" and all put our
shoulders to the work and correct
this great evil, the. component parts
of which are mud, water, disease and
death. N t.,S '@afss 5sa.s ,,s,,
