PROFESSOR JACOB ROLL.

We are truly glad to say that this
distinguished Swiss naturalist, the
friend and late assistant of the lament
ed Agassiz, has arrived here with the
determination of making Dallas his
future home. He is member of the
Imperial Academy of Natural History,
in Dresden, Prussia, and has the high
est testimonials from Agassiz and
other eminent sources.
Professor Boil proposes to lay the
foundation for museum of natural
curiosities owes, plants, animals, in
sects, ETC., in Dallas, and would be glad
to receive from the people in all parts
any specimens in any of the branches
named, which may, for the present, be
delivered to his brother, Mr.. Henry
Boil, an old citizen of this place.
The advantages of such man of
practical science being in young and
developing State like Texas, will be
manifest to all. His explanations, an-
alysis and Investigations will, if en-
couraged in liberal spirit, prove of
great value to our agricultural and
manufacturing interests.

BY the Tyler Index we learn of the
death of the wife of the Rev. DIR.
James H. Stribling, in that town, on
January odd.
Ihirty-seven years ago, when 4
ranger boy on the southwestern from
tier of Texas, We made the acquaint-
ance of James II. Stribling, then boy
about our own age, from Washington
county. For several years succeeding,
whenever Indians or Mexicans invaded
the country, we were almost sure to
meet, among the volunteer rangers,
Jim Stribling," and came to love
him as brother. At the bloody
battle of Salado in 1912, no two sol
diers were more marked for cool and
fearless courage than he and the Rev.
Daniel Carl, Methodist preacher
from Tennessee, then officiating on
circuit in southwest Texas. After
that James II. Stribling completed his
education at Baylor University, studied
for the ministry, and for nearly thirty
years has been most able, faithful
and self-denying preacher in the Bap-
fist church. Long, long ago he mar
ried lovely daughter of Col. Cleve-
land, at Gonzales, and she has been an
angelic companion to him ever since.
When We read of her death in the
Tyler paper yesterday, all those dear
old associations came up, and involun-
tarily we exclaimed, "God bless our
old friend.u

NON. SAM. HE'LL MAxEy.

OfLamar county, was yesterday olec-
red senator In Congress from this State,
10 succeed James w. Flanagan, whose
term expires on the lth day Of March,
1875, by vote, In Joint session Of the
two Houses, of60 outoflli. Mr.. MaScy
IL one of the staunchest Democrats In
the state, man Of fine intellect, ana,
beyond all question, an honest man,
privately and politically. We have no
iear of1exas suffering by his election,
hut, on the contrary, shall look forward
anxlously TO the day when he shall
take the seat now 50 unjustly occupied
by James w, Flanagan.
Attic same tine, in all candor, we
confess to q feeling Of disappointment.
II cannot 10 denied that the people OF
this State expected either James W.
Throckmorton or John II, Reagan to
be their senator. Both have been
long tried aud found true and faithful,
able and dlligenl. While we preferred
Throckmorton rs our nelghbor, and for
reasons unnecessary now to explain,
still we recognized Reagan's ability,
his long service and his independence
of character, and felt that in his hands
our cause at Washington would besafe.
Though we know and appreciate the
character Of General Maxey, It cannot
be sald he Is known over the whole
State like either Throckmorton or
Reagan; yet his character in North
Texas and among the soldiers of the
late war, sufficiently guarantees that
he will make US good senator.

MODE OF DRAWING.

There will be upon the stage two glass
wheels, the contents OF which can be seen
by the audience. A committee, consisting
of three eminent citizens in no way connect
ed with the management, having first made
an accurate count and examination, will
place in the larger wheel 1900 leather tags
cut by the same die, exactly alike, and hav-
ing numbers on them, from to 1000. CORE
spending 10 the number OF all the tickets
sold. similar, committee-having first
examined, counted, folded and sealed up in
no square boxes, precisely alike, as many
slips OF paper, on which are printed the 40
gifts of denominations from $40 to 81 ,OO0-will
then place these 40 sealed boxes containing
the gifts in the smaller wheel. Both wheels
will then be turned until their contents are
thoroughly mixed. a blindfolded boy,
under ID years OF age, will then draw from
the larger wheel one of the tags, and, hold
ing II up In full view of the audience, its
number will be called loud enough for all 10
hear by the crier appointed for this purpose;
the tag will then be passed to committee OF
three distinguished citizens, who will say
whether the number has been rightly called.
II will then be passed to u registrar, who will
nile II upon copper wire prepared for the
purpose.
The number of the tag thus drawn, cried,
proven and filed will be recorded by three
clerks, in separate books, prepared for the
purpose.
a blindfolded girl Of similar age will then
draw from the smaller wheel one of the
sealed boxes, which will be opened and the
gift taken out, unfolded and held M To the
view of the audience.
The amount of the gift thus drawn will
then be cried, recorded by the three clerks,
and the paper filed by the registrar with its
tag upon the wire.
The gilt thus drawn will belong to the tick.
ct bearing the same number rs the tag
drawn Immediately before 1t. Thus this pro.
cess will continue until 40 numbers are
drawn from the larger wheel, and all the
boxes from the small wheel. And the lao
gifts thus drawn, ranging from $40 to 81 ,OOO,
WILL paid 20 the parties who present the
tickets having numbers thus determined by
lot to be entitled them.
After the drawing is over, the large wheel
containing the tags will be placed In the
hands OF a committee chosen by the audi.
ence, who can examine for themselves and
see whether all the tickets sold We're repre-
sented by tags with corresponding numbers.

Compared with the past four years II

and tempcstuous storm.
Mr. George w. Clark, Of Waco, the
new attorney general, Is n rather
young man, Of superior talent and fine
promise.
We are not acquainted with Mr., A,
w. Deberry, the new secretary of State,
nor Mr. o. p. Campbell, the new In-
spector Of the penilentlary, but take II
for granted they are proper men, or
Governor Coke would not have mp.

Since writing the foregoing article,
we have learned by private kilograms
received In Dallas, that the other Judge
Of the new Supreme court IL Mr.. VIII
liam =. Bnlllnger, Of Galveston. To
all prominent lawyers Of Texas, the
mention of the name Is sufficient.
But this Is a matter In which the peo-
pie are Interested, and rs we Know Mr..
Ballenger very well for 10! these many
years, we viii give our opinion Of him
and his political pedigree, so FIR as we
know. f.... 4.
William =. Ballinger Is native Of
the mountains, or what is known rs
the knob region Of Kentucky. He
was born and bred Kentucky Henry
Clay Wing, and in his earlier manhood
inclined decidedly TO the old Federal
notions Of government. We use the
word ''Federal" in the sense in which
II was used in the days of Jefferson and
Adams.
Locating rs n lawyer in Galveston
some twenty-f0ur years ago-a young
man--while, in no modern sense rab-
BILE rousing orator, his knowledge of
law, his upright conduct, his studious
habits and his moral integrity,soongave
him high position at the bar, both in
the State and federal courts. For years
he was employed on, one side or the
other of nearly every important land
case in the United States District court
of Texas, and In almost every one adj
dcd to his reputation. Declining all
openings for political life, he studious-
ly devoted his fine mind to the law.
Under President Fillmore he was
United States attorney for Texas, the
only Office, as far AS we remember, he
ever held.
Doubling the policy of secession,
yet, as u true son of his State, he stood
by Texas during the war as his adopt
ed mother Since the war, as the SEN
ior member of the legal firm of Bal
linger Jack Il Mott, of Galveston his
name has continued to grow rs one of
the most honest, able and philosophi-
cal lawyers of Texas, AS n repWed
contributor to the press of various arti-
cles on our former political condition,
he ranks with Madison, Jay and Ham
ilton rs the authors of the Federalist,
and occasionally makes one think of
the brilliant strokes of .Junius.
In no sense is Mr.. Ballnger u politi-
clan or otlice-seeker. He is simply
great lawyer and honest man. AS such
he is worthy to sit on the Supreme
court bench Of Texas and we are glad
he is there.

May 23rd.
Lett me, first Of all, thank Verify for his
courteous letter, and the kindly things, he is
pl ,ased to say, about the Moravian Church.
It is to be hoped that she will always main
tain her character, as a "truly Apostolic branch
Of the Christian Church." by unfolding the
doctrines and discipline taught aud expounded
by Jesus and his disciples.
In his communication, Verify endeavors to
prove that withholding baptism from unlawful
children is ga new notion" and inconsistent
with the principles held by the Moravian
Church, as expounded in the Idea Fidei Fra

points he is in error. This is not "a new no.
ton but the old established rule of the
Brethren's church, as p~ractised in the Home
Congregations, and in their Missions.
So far as I am aware they have never adopt
ed the practice of baptizing illegitimate chill

cept these Danish West Indies and, in these
