IL his article on the Great South, 4"
in Scrlbner's, Edward King writes as
follows Of the resources of Texas and its
continued prosperity: With one single
field of coal, covering 5000 square
miles, with apparently inexhaustibe
copper and iron stores, with lead and
silver mines, with 10000, 900 of acres Of
cotton.beariug land, and with agricultural
resources equal to those Of any State in
the Union, Texas can enter upon her
new career confidently and joyously.
AS a refuge ior the ruined OF our last
great revolution. she is benefcient; as an
element for greatness in the progress Of
the United States, she has no superior.
She has peculiar advantages over her
sister southern States; while they court
immigr Ition in vain, the tide flows freely
across her borders and spreads out over
her vast plains. Whatever danger there
may be of political disagreements and
disturbances within her borders, nothing
can permanently trouble her progress
Lying below the snow line, she furnishes
the best route to the Pacific, and 'front.'
in1 on the Gulf, she will some day have
a commercial navy whose masts will be
seen in every European port.

We clip the above from the Invo IN

Mr.. Laspeyre was two or three times
Assemblyman from San Joaquin county
in early days; in 1867 and in 1869 he was
elected District Attorney of Kern county
without opposition. but he has never
held Judicial Office. A more es,imable

Autopsy Of the siame,e Twins


CHICAGO. Feb. Is. A Philadelphia
special gives a detailed report of the
autopsy OF The Siamess Twins, SO far as
conducted up to yesterday. 1t says:
The lungs, heart, paucress, liver, spleen
and alimentary canal were excellently
developed in each, and all resembled
those Of ordinary mortals. Approximate
ing the band and the lower portion OF the
ensiform cartilage or breast bone in each.
by doubling or bending out, made long
union, with a distinct joint at the central
point of union, on which the bodies
hinge freely. This joint is somewhat
similar TO, but not so complicated, as
that at the elbow. The band at the
smaller part has a circumference Of nine
inches, and when the link was stretched
and the twins were placed rs far apart
a possible, there was a space of eight
inches intervening. The great question
Of whether they could have been separ-
ated in life was settled in the negative.
The peritoneum or membraneous lining
of the belly in each WAS found to enter
the band. and four pouches over-lapped
each other at the center of the band.
The most marked feature here was the
presence of two such pouches from the
body Of the larger brother (Chang), and
the upper one shorter than the lower,
but each tapping, one from above aud
and the other from below the single
pouch OF Eng. An almost exact idea of
the arrangement of these culs de sac may
be Obtained by holding the first joint of
the forehnger between the thumb and
finger of the other hand. The astound-
ing and curious fact was developed that
u line passing down the center OF the
band would sever all three of their pro-
longations and open the peritoneal cavity
OF each liver. If the knife had be used in
life, death would therefore have proba-
bly,, if not necessarily. resulted. The
examination also showed that there was
portal or linear circulation through the
heart, as was seen from the passage of
the injecting matter used in embalming.
The abdominal organs lie in close con-
tact with these pouches, but are not con-
tinuous into them.

Boss TwRRD's PRISON LIFE-The imprison
ment of "BOss Tweed" late chief OF the Tam
many ing, but at present supposed 70 be a
convict on Blackwells Island, New York, is q
mockery OF justice. Mr.. Tweed dons the
prison gsTb only on certain occasions; he sports
bis long hair and luXuriant beard; he wears as
fne clothes as one would wish to show on Broad
way, and occupies room far away from the
cells of little rascals. This room Is twenty feet
by twelve, and twelve feet high, furnished
with good double bed, shut in by curtains, a
bureau, washstand, and two writing desks, one
for his hoDors private secretary, besides chairs,
books, and other comforts. Here the retired
statesman suffers for his thefts. When weary
with penance he takes walk along an avenue
shaded by trees that shut his form away from
vulgar and 1mpertinent eyes, and calls at the
house of his friend, the warden. AT this spa
cious mansion he takes his meals priv ately, a.
every other gentleman of fastidous taste and
modern habits might do. Mr.. Tweed's table is
bountifully furnished, and he eats and drinks
his turtle soup and champagne Is regularly as
he does not do the "hard labor" to which he
was sentenced.

CINCISEATI, November Ga special from

regard to tie arrest Of Otto Won Schmidt, the
secretary OF Count Won Arnim, states that the
order for the secretarv's return came from Won
ATnim Wednesday morning, October p, aud

MED by detective, and a friend named Peter
GrOu. On Saturday, the 3lst ultimo, Won

Won Schmidt admitted that the papers in the
German merchants possession were a portion
OF the letters of Bismarck TO Won Armin, ab-
strscted 10y the latter from the archives of the
Paris legation. ThOs. LOnegrsn, manager of
the detective agency, after being shown an ex-
tract from eastern papers denying the account
OF the arrest, admitted 10 looking up a young
German on sdyces from Berlin, and also
that the man went back Voluntarily
He said there was no arrest, because the ofense
was Of political character. He did not deny
the particulars stated in this dispatch, nor
would he admit them; giving as a reason that
his connection with the affair was confidential.
and he would not violate il. He was very much
annoyed that the affair had leaked out before

FEMALE POLITICIANS ON BKrDRR.-The

Anna Fuller, Jane Harris and Molhe Clark,
were arrested for being drunk and fighting in a
house on Dallas street, and were locked up in a
cell together ST the Eastern station. There was
for some time danger OF a renewal of hostilities
between the prisoners, and it soon became
apparent that the quarrel was OF q politicsi -
character. MOllie Clark said I" she was full
blOOded 18th ward democrat, all the WAY from
President street, and nybody who didn't like it
could take less of it," Miss Harris as deter
miDedly ayowed herself to be q republican,
land she did not care who knew it." The turn
key was obliged to interfere as a peacemaker,
and the bellgerents at length quieted down,
after an assurance had been given that they
would be furnished with plug of tobacco

TRE RIOT AT EUFAULA, Ala. on ELECTION
DAY-Ab0Ut a Dozen COl0rsd ken hiIIsd aud OEs
Hundred WOUHded.-A special 20 the Savannah
News from Eufaula, gives the following ac-
count Of the riot there on election day. six
whites were wounded, one of them, William
Keith, mortaily. Three negroes were killed
outright, and, AZ far as heard from, Sc yenty-
four were wounded, ten or fifteen Of the num-
Der mOrtally. Since the hght five have died,
and three or four more will die during the night.
The difficulty grew out OF the abuse Of q negro
who had voted the democratic ticket, by several
RAD cal egToes chief among whom was one very
bad negro named Miles Long. Several white
gentlemen rushed up when they saw the abuse
being heaped upon the democratic negro, and
when he bad received several blows they rushed
in and ordered the mob to desst. Miles Long
offered to draw pistol upon one of the whites,
when be was .Jiu not 20 draw a weapon there or
he would be killed. With an oath against the
whites. and daring them 20 come on, he drew
out his pistol and tired. In an instant a gem
eral ire from both whites and blacks COM
menced, which the latter stood q second or two,
and then gave way in one Of the widest STAN
pedes ever witnessed on our streets. There
were probably five hundred shots fred by both
sides, a majority OF them being fred by the
whites. The negroes came in from the country
armed with pistols, heavy clubs, wheel spokes,
SC, and were very aggressive upon those OF
their own color who voted the democratic ticket
for q few seconds. After the firing ceased the
negroes began 70 macs for a renewal OF the
fight, but seeing that the whites were srming
te receive them, they again scattered, and quiet
was soon restored. The number Of wounded
negroes will reach fully one hundred"
