TEE CIRCUS.

The Galveston News has the follow
ing notice of the performances of the
great eastern circus and menagerie,
which opens in this city on Monday,
the 25d instant:
There seems to have been no falling
off II, the crowds that visit the great
eastern circus aud menagerie, the cam
vas having been as full last night as on
either of the former occasians since
their arrival This is not to be Won
dered at, however, when it is remem-
bered that the combinations of attrac-
tions are of no ordinary character, and
that the performance is equal to any
that has been afforded in the State.

OUR youthful readers viii remember
that to-day, March 9Th, Is the ann'ycr-
snw Of the fall Of the Alamo, wherein
cycryTeXan soldier chose to die rather
chan surrender. Tweniy'onc years
ago, in an eloquent speech in the leg
lslaturc of Texas, Hon. Guy Nj. Bryan,
then " Junior member, now speaker OF
the house Of representatives, said;
"rhermopylc had its messenger OF
defeat, but the Alamo had none"
That one sentence ofa noble son OF
Texas, will go down among the classics
Of our posterity
Texas children to-day should read
the history Of the siege and fall of the
Alamo, where Travis, Bowie, Crockett,
Bonham, Dickinson and one hundred
and cighty-two more Texan soldier
fell, after siege Of thirteen days, pre-
fcrring death to surrender

Ilntcr-Ocean letter.

My nearest neighbor, having seen in
the lnter-Ocean an account of the an
alysis Of some syrup which showed
the presence Of dangerous acids, tried
the experiment Of putting a teaspoon
FIJI of tea in small sauce plate of
nice looking white syrup which her
family had been in the habit of buying
from an honest dealing grocer. The
result was the syrup turned almost
black. Alarmed ut this revelation, |
tried the same experiment on similar
syrup in my own house, with precisely
similar results. To he sure that there
could be no mistake about the test, |
melted three kinds of sugar into syrup,
and tried the tea on each of those
Syrups, and not one of them changed
color. The thought that | have been
for weeks feeding detection of muir
attic acid and old rags to my children,
supposing that | was supplying them
with wholesome food, makes me shud-
der even now, and induces me to write
this my first note to the public press,
so that others may profit by my eXpe-
rience,

WE had a call yesterday from Mr.. ID.
r. Watson, of Illinois, who is in our
state, prospecting for n location of II
branch office of the Horse Register and
Detective company. The experiment
has been tried in Indiana and other
western states with eminent success.
Mr.. w. Informs us that it became so
successful in Indiana that il was a
very rare thing to have a horse stolen
after the organization became known.
1t is subject that our farmers are par
ticularly interested in, and from what
MIR. w. tellsus, we think such n branch
established in Texas would be of great
benefit to our people.

RAIN.
Especial Correspondence of the s~sntinei.l
MoRRIsTowN, IND, Oct. S0.-The sem
sational writer could find plenty
of material, at present, to write
a book under the title of Fighting With
Fire" One chapter could at least
be instigated by a nights visit to Rush
county where mile after mile of fine timber
land Is being swept away by the flames
which receive increased force by the high
winds prevailing for several days past.
There is something grand yet awful in the
scenery; the flames leaping up to the top
of the tall majestic trees and crawling
along the branches reach out for another
victim, and proceeding thus until the entire
forest for miles present the appearance OF
blackened spectres. dissatisfied with the
ruin thus effected, the devourIng element
creaps along throughfthe withered leaves and
attacking the fencing of the farm lands.
it leaves a wasteless track behind.
FIELDS of corn, ready to be gathered,
are swept away in a shors time, and the
farmer realizes his labor of months gone as
ii by magic. Such are the realities of the
present time, and ~"fghting with fire"
would not be a work of fiction, but too true
to be pleasant reading. Since sending my
letter from Rushville, I have received in
formation OF a farmer northwest of that
place who commenced to gather his corn to
save it from the flames, which had struck
his timber land. He had filled his wagon
and started for his barn which was nearly a
mile from the field. Ca his return he found
that the flames were already
SWEEPING THROUGH THE FIELD,
and no human power could stay its progress.
One night in the burning woods of Rush
county satisfied me, and the first train saw
me a passenger. Arriving at Nor

but here, too, the fires were raging, but not
TO the extent of that of Rush county. From
one to two miles north, north vest and
northeast of MorristOwn, the woods are on
fire, but the timber lands, being to a certain
extent widely separated, the farmers are
somewhat successful in controlling the
progress of the fire. Several fields of corn
have been destroyed, and a large amount OF
fencing, but no buildings thus far.
Morrlstown is in no danger,
situated in a valley, surrounded
with hills and no extensive woods near by,

curity. A farmer, after fighting the fire
throughout the day and night, has had his
eyesight so affected that fears are enter tanned
of a permanent loss. Here, too, the wells
and streams have gone dry. Information as
