We supported Mr.. Dorm for nomina-

but, in doing so, had no idea of pen

proceeding immodest and undemo-

THE reception of Il delegation from
the general conference of the northern
Methodist church, by the general con-
ference of the southern church, in ses-
sion few days since at Louisville,
Ky, is a favorable sign of return to
more friendly feelings between the two
bodies. We believe the same thing
was attempted three or four years ago,
but without success. The church di-
vided on the sectional question between
the south and the north, thirty years
ago. Aside from political antipathies,
since the abolition of slavery, there
has been no serious impeachment to a
reunion. Neither church has ever
been fundamentally organized Oh sec
tional questions, btt practically they
have been so regarded. If all difficult
ties could be removed, there is no doubt
but what their reunion, as well rs that
of the Presbyterian church, would have
q powerful influence in re-establishing
good feeling between the sections.

THE CROPS.

The fine rains of the last few days in
sure the maturity of the wheat crop,
and sends forward finely corn, cotton,
fruit and vegetables. There is some
rust reported on the blades of the later
wheat, but not serious in many cases.
An intelligent observer thinks there
will be fully as much wheat harvested
this season as last, though the average
yield per acre will not he so large.
There is larger acreage growing this
year than last.
All the indications are favorable foi
u large fruit crop.

a LONDON letter writer says the
British navy has been found in a con-
dition of doubtful efficiency. On pa
per, there are fifty-five iron-clads, of
which forty-onea are sea-going and four
teen adapted for harbor and coast de-
fence. OF forty-one sea-going iron
clads, five must be deducted as still on
the docks, and nine Others as either
obsolete or not worth repairing for sea
going purposes. This reduces the list
to twenty-seven, and of these only
fourteen can be regarded as really eff
fective for service at the present mo-
ment, though four more, or eighteen
in all, will perhaps be ready in the
course of the year. Moreover, some of
the ships now undergoing repair can
not be counted upon rs good for more
than year; then, of fourteen iron
clads for harber defense, one is build
ing, and there are only eight fit for
service.

THE Hon. jeremiah Galvan, repre-
sentative in the legislature from
Brownsville, on leaving Austin the
other day, presented the Statesman
Office, "editors, clerks, printers and
devil" with demijohn of cline old
Bourbon" The local of that paper
thus returns thanks:
GAS all met around the festal board
to partake of the choice beverage, the
health of Hon. Mr.. Galvan was drank
by each, with many wish fer his safe
and speedy return to the capital, after
the legislative vacation. The local,
with "a fellow-feeling that makes lis
wondrous kind" quaffed health to
our good old bachelor friend, true
son of Erin, who does honor TO his
native country, rs well as the constit-
uency which lie represents. Health,
ant rosperity TO him; may
the thorn of jec( busy or distrust never
enter his side, nor wound ever be
opened in which the finger of Il doubt
ing Thomas can be thrust"

AT NINE o'clock on the morning of
the Ilth instant, the levee in front of
Fria's Point, Mississippi, broke at
Maynard's and Miller's. The former
crevasse is one hundred yards wide and
the latter fifty yards, and as the water
outside the levce was fully five feet
above the levee inside, the water
poured through in immense volume,
defying all attempts to check it, and
soon inundated the town and surround
ing country. The crevasses will mum
date very large and rich sections of cot
ton lands.

shipped by outside parties and not handled
by our factors.

ON TO ARKANSAS!
Put This and That TOgether-What DO
They Make?

They Make:
Several days ago u couple of bust
ness-loOking cannon, with all the par
aphernalia for immediate use, passed
mp the railroad EN- route to Arkansas.
Since then number of suspicious
packages of freight, which in war
times would have been condemned as
"cOntraband" have also passed through
from New Orleans tothe same, destina-
ton.
On Monday, Colonel J. f. Casey, col
lector of customs in New Orleans,
brothcr-in-luw to President Grant, was
in this city, and continued his pere-
CARNATIONS up the Central road. Some
wise-acres about town persist in putting
all these things together and from them
evolving the idea that some important
movement is to he made in Arkansas.
They say Casey went up the Central
as blind, and that he will leave it ut
Dallas and proceed TO Arkansas; that
Grant asks II truce in that state for ten
days to hear Casry's report before act
ing. Is this so? Who can solve the
riddle?- Houston Telegraph.

A .Jaunt.

The regular editor of this paper was
absent all of last week, on n trip via
Paris, Sherman, Dallas and Mineola,
to Tyler; thence home by way of
Troupe, TeXarkana and Boston. A few
hours detention at Paris, Sherman,
Dallas and Mineola, two days at Ty-
Ter, information of Jefferson through
some of its citizens, and of TeXarkana
by citizens of Bowie, enable us to say
that we found profound commercial
dizziness everywhere except ut Dallas.
One grocery firm at Sherman assured
us that they had fair trade, but this was
Il single case. At Dallas we took a
moonlight view of the interior and ex-
terror of the new court house, which is
the best and most substantial building
we have seen in the State. Dallas did
IA heavy business last winter, and is still
doing some, though of course the i'm
petus of the cotton crop, nov gone, is
wanting.
Tyler looks like an old fashioned
Texas town, and, commercially, has
experienced the geneal disasters affect
ing trade and traders. Several stores
were closed two of its hotels look as
if going to decay. The new Ferguson
house" is commodious, has some pre-
tentions to style, but is of coarse finish
and cheap of construction. 1t is, how
ever, pretentious looking for a small
place, and, we believe, well kept. Ty-
Ter has some pleasant rural residences,
and causes our mind to turn to Gold
smiths "Sweet Auburn" There is an
air of rural content abou. it the dwell
ings are far apart, surrounded by ample
grounds, neat, and give it pleasant,
happy, village look.
Mineola is one of the great cities of
the future, whose present center is on
low, uninviting ground, with much
pleasanter site for business or comfort
near by. 1t is the point of junction 10y
the Pacific and Great Northern roads
the latter being thus far on its way to
Springs, Hopkins county, thir-
ty-five miles distant. Mineola claims
to have shipped l0.OO0 bales of cotton
the past season, but after the road
moves toward Sulphur Springs, will
lose so,pe of present Importance as a
depot.

Those who prize beautiful head of
hair land We know our lady friends
all do, will thank us for few words
on the invaluable qualities of Ayers
Hair Vigor as dressing. In our own
case ii heals humor, keeps the head
free from dandruff and scurf, stops the
tendency of our hair to fall and height
ems its beauty. A slight touching with
il removes the coarse and dry appear
ance which neglected hair puts on, inn
parts a rich gloss, and makes US pre-
seniahle in the most fashionable
company. Such rare qualifications,
presented IN single preparation,
create for il III enduring value; but
to these the faculty of restoring to gray
locks their youthful color, and main
tanning our good looks with so small
an expenditure OF time and attention,
and you stampitprime favorite with the
public and insure its permanent and
enduringpopularity.- Huntsville Ala-l
