A DANGEROUS PAPER.-The green
paper used to wrap about lozenges,
sold in shops, railroad cars, and on
street corners, has long been suspected
to contain arsenic, and with the view
of asccrtaining the facts by analysis we
recently purchased roll Of logenges
covered with this paper. A qualita-
tive examination OF this paper afforded
all 1.-The characteristic reactions ofarsenic
and copper. The wrapper contained
twenty square inches Of paper OF
this sixteen were taken for qualitative
analysis. The result of the examina-
ton showed that this portion contained
2.4l grains or 2.49 grains in the whole
Of the wrapper-a quantity sufficient
to destroy life in an adult person.
Children in all parts OF the country
are allowed to purchase tho lozenges
covered with this poisonous paper and
the rolls are often put into the hands
of infants as plaything. As every
thing goes into the mouth Of young
children, il is easy to see that no more
dangerous substance can pass into a
family than these packages of eonfec-
tionory 1t is quite probable that in
stances of poisoning have occurred
from this cause which have been of a
serious or fatal character. There
should be laws prohibiting the use of
poisonous paper for any purpose.

THEST PETERsBURG POLICE.


Letters from st. Petersburg, says
the Pal Mall Gazette, speak Of a re-
markable feat Of determination on the
part of General Trepof, the head of
the st. Petersburg police, who had
given in earlier life extraordinary
proofs of personal courage. A fearful
double murder was recently committed
at the Military Academy Of the city by
a policeman, who being attached to the
female servant Of the doctor Of the os-
tablishment, fancied he had cause to
suspect her of infdelity. Having en-
tered the doctors quarter to upbraid
her, he ended by taking up carving
knife and killing the unfortunate wo-
man on the spot, and then staying the
doctor himself with it in his study.
Here he lacked himself in with the in
strument of bis crime, and vowed he
would despatch the first man with it,
who attempted to arrest him. The
police summoned to the spot were
awed by his apparent determination,
while some proposed to shoot him as a
wild beast, and party went in search
of a fire engine with view to dreneh
him into surrender A report of the
occurrence reached General Trepoff,
Springing into the droschky which is
kept ready for emergencies, the Gen
eral was on the scene in few minutes.

Mr.. JOHN j. EAKrNs tells us that he
planted his timothy in November,
1872 The crop of 1878, though small
in area, was luxuriant, with we'll
matured heads from seven to ten
inches long. He now has six acres
well set and growing beautifully. This
is cheering news to our farmers. We
have no longer any doubt of the adap-
tation ofnorth Texas to timothy and
clover, and, so far as it has been tested,
blue grass promises to be success.
With these invaluable grasses, cotton,

TEXAS RADICALS MEMORlALIZING
CONGRESS-.

A special to the Galveston News,
dated Washington, March '2ith, says:
Morton presented in the senate to-
day q memorial three columns long,
setting forth the recent political his
tory of Texas, as viewed from u Rad
ical standpoint, and asking congress to
interfere in overturning the present
state government. The memorialists
say: 7 r. .rtI
ave thought we had the right to ask
for assistance against this species of
violence. We have done so, but per-
haps we did not ask in the right way.
"There may have been some want of
Formally in our appeal, or we may
have been forestalled by interested
slanderers."
The memorial was signed by Boulds
Baker, Sam w. Johnson, Stanley
WEIGH, A. J. Hamilton, and about
fifty others, and was referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.

tons, signed by citizens ofgSan Anto-

FANNlN's sI.AssAC GRE IRIS ANNIyET
~ &aRsE SAM. SBeasWB

To-day, March q, is the thirty-eighth
anniversary of the bloodiest tragedy
ever enacted within the present terri
tory of the United States. 1t is known
in history as Fannln's massacre, or the
massacre of Goliad, which occurred in
the ancient town of La Bahia, now
Goliad, Texas, on the eth of March,
1886.
Colonel James w, Fannin occupied
Goliad with five hundred men. The
Alamo, at San Antonio, fell on the 9th
of'March, and leftthe army Of Santa
Anna free to march upon Goliad, one
hundred miles below. Fannin, on the
eleventh. sent Captain King with
twenty-eight men to escort the Irish
families at the Mission of Refugio
to Goliad, then intending to fall
back. King was besieged in the
Mission, and Major Ward, with one
hundred men, was sent to his relief
After entering the Mission, Ward sent
out Kings company to reconnoiter.
Surrounded, and after a bloody fight,
Kings company surrendered. n Within
six hours they were all shot by order
Of General Urea. Ward then at
tempted to cut his way back 70. Goliad,
but was surrounded by twelve hundred
Mexicans, and, though defending him
self, was compelled to change his line
of retreat to Victoria, after passing
which place sixteen miles, he was
overwhelmed by numbers, and COM
PEELED to surrender on the Garcitas
creek.
Onlthe 10Th of March, hearing moth
ing from Ward or King, Colonel Fam
min abandoned Goliad and fell back
nine miles on the road east towards
Victoria. At Up. m. he was attacked
by Urea, with a superior force Of artil-
lery, infantry and cavalry, in the open
prairie, three miles from timber. He
made gallantfight until night, losing
seven killed mu,l sixty wounded, and
all his animals. He would have re-
treated in the night, but though
wounded himself, he sternly refused to
abandon his wounded men. Daylight
revealed the fact that he was entirely
surrounded by the enemy, and
completely at the mercy of their
artillery. Being surrounded, he
entered into an honorable capt.
ulation, duly signed, and the whole
body were marched back to Goliad
and confined in the church and the
fort, being soon joined by Ward and
his men as fellow prisoners. The
whole number was four HUNDRED and

MR.. LONG, mayor of the city, and
candidate for reelection on the oppo.
sition, or as most persons consider, the
quasi radical ticket, under the plea of
replying to single paragraph in the
HERALD, has published long personal
dissertation, professedly narrating his
"life and times" With his personal
character we have nothing to do be.
yond Its political bearing. With his
political and official conduct, past and
present, the people have right ia
deal, provided it is done properly.
He admits, in reply to our question,
that in the darkest period the people
of Dallas have seen since the war, in
those days when southern men were
ostracised and at the mercy of a power
that was not of them, and inimical to
them, he was at the head of the loyal
league of this county, composed OF
about all the adult negroes and few
white men. 1t was q secret political
society and throughout Texas and the
south, wherever the negroes were in
the majority, or very powerful, The
men and families in the land looked
upon them as a standing menace
to their peace and safety. This
is simply a fact which no man. we
presume, will deny. And Mr.. Long
admits that he belonged to it, which
substantially comedies all that we init
mated. We did not refer to his going
to Mexico to avoid the war. 1t Is too
late In the day to assail consistent
union men for peaceably doing so,
unless, after peace, as some did, they
became oppressors, or committed other
wrongs. He says substantially that he
went to Matamoras, opened business,
gave employment to union refugees
and southern deserters alike, made
money and spent 1t freely. That was
CON bination Of taste, pleasure and
