A onANp ANp NoRLN eNranrRIsn.

With indispensable satisfaction we
break unto tho people Of Dallas glad
tidlngs Of great joy, Through the IN
doftignble exertons Of Captain Sam
uel Slaughter, one Of the chief stock
menof Texas, and a partner In n
Dallas banking house, arrangements
have been perfected to render Dallas
the greatest cattle shipping point IN
these United States of North America,
That branch Of business heretofore
done ut Kansas City Abilene, Junction
City, Denison, Wichita and other
places, will hereafter be concentrated
at Dallas. IT'S magnitude cannot he
estimated, ltsp owcrcan only be guaged
by the stomachs of all the Northern
and Western cities. Half Il million Of
beeves annually shipped from one
point means business. The first pens
will be in the vicinity of Captain JEFF
ferson Peaks farm, east Of town. The
Pacific track will be completed across
theriver 80 as to form pens on the
west side. Passage from the west
side to the east side pens will
always be free. Cattle, shipped at
Dallas, can go direct to Little Rock
Memphis, Nashville, st. Louis, Chica-
60, indianapolis or elsewhere West,
East or North. Here at the great cen
ter of North Texas win congregate all
the, cattle of IN empire greater than
France, to be distributed wherever
there are emptystomachs from Bangor,
in Maine, to San Francisco. fl is an
other, but u mighty link in that chain

Dallas as the centerof Almighty trade
to be built up in the North half of
Texas.
Captain Sam. Slaughter the old 'peXas
ranger, the frontier cattle raiser, the
true soldier, and the hospitable ranch
ero, is. entitled to the thanks Of all
North Texas for the instrumentallty in
eifecting this benclicent arrangement,
Dallas, in addition to her former
prestige, is now to be the seat of edu-
cation, of the Texas cattle shipping,
and if this is not enough we have
other resources to throw in so we can

AUSTEN C0LLrGE An DALLAS.

We are greatly pleased to announce
that the commissioners appointed by
the Presbyterian Synod of Texas, have
located Austin college at Dallas. The
institution, for nearly twenty years in
successful operation at Huntsville
already had an endowment OF two
Hundred thousand dollars in the
choicest lands of the State. Its re-
moval 60 more accessible and eligible
point became necessary. Dallas was
almost instinctiVely preferred, but the
board felt it n duty TO consider the
inducements, pro aad con, in each
case. 70 the credit of our city and
county, we are allowed TO state that
S57 600 were subscribed by our people
to bring it to Dallas. Ii is with iniin-
lite pleasure we state that this hand
some amount was contributed by our
fellow citizens of all religious denomin-
atoms Members of other churches
We're foremost in promoting the OBJ
jet, thus showing high spirit
the very opposite of religious
bigotry. We delight to live in
such an atmosphere. Such u people
viii always win in the race of devel-
opment They move in higher
sphere than those who are welded to
one idea. Believing that Dallas is
destined to be leading inland city,
we rejoice in the conviction that our
institutions will be founded in the
spirit OF n virtuous liberaity. AS we
have before said, two or three first
class colleges can be sustained here.
Each viii serve to produce generous
emulation among all. The foundation
of college by any body of christians
Is not sectarlan act. Students, at
place like Dallas, can attend worship
at any one of seven churches, rs they
or their parents may prefer. The in
structlon received is not theological.
Theological institutions for training
young men for the ministry stand on
a different basis.
Austin college, standing upon one of
the prettiest spots in Texas, will soon
rank MS an ornament to the South
western States. When other churches
say the word, the Presbyterian element
stands ready to help them do likewise.

TO-DAY, FEBRUARY .aD

Is the one hundred and forty-second
birthday of George Washington, the
greatest benefactorof the human fam
lily since Jesus Christ was born in
Bethlehem of Judea. -.
1t is day on which men who love
their kind--men who love virtue and
liberty should take new observations,
and see whether the ship of state has
drifted too far either to leeWard or
windward-for the safety of the nation.
In these late years of demoraliza-
ton, wherein many have come to re.
gard ancient honesty as old fogyism,
and modern villainy us cuteness, we
have seen the very virtues of WASH
TNGToN made the subject Of vulgar
ribaldry and jest, through the columns
of papers tolerated under our institu-
lions of liberty. Were we not by ma
ture, inheritance and established prln-
ciples, believer in liberty III the con-
crete and the aggregate, we would
long since have becomethe advocate of
some sort of censorship over the licen-
tiousness of what is called the freedom
of the press. But, relying SO fully on
the power of truth over error-on the
innate manhood and purity of the
American character-we nave thought
1t Better to submit to spasmodic mani
festations of vice, even through the
so.callcd press, rather than make an
innovation on what we call the "liberty
of the press"
Since official peculation, superficial
cuteness and insults to honesty have
become not only tolerable, but, in some
localities. fashionable, we often see In
point burlesuue illusions to the birth,
childhood, early training and younger
manhood ofsthe Gonly WAsarNaToN
the world has ever produced, calculated
to produce sardoDic smile in an
abandoned 'rum-hole, but poignant
grief in every high-toned breast.
1t cannot be denied that these later
years of degeneracy and llbertinism
have brought to the trout a class of de-
spicables political mountebanks and
rimps whose breath Is poison, aud !
whose brazeu-faeed impotence is
symbolised by the scarivt-lsced harlot |
of the good book. Retrace the bloody |
history of the world-its bloody MON
'ters and long enervated despotisns-
md then come down 10 the career of
Washington. Is ii. not wonderful, al
most beyond the mind of man, to con-

sVARTaENg.

We are informed 10y Mr.. G.. w. Nor
ris, of Wildwood, that the people of
that ncighborhood are very much
alarmed on account of numerous rabid
animals roaming through the country.
1t threatens to break up the schools, as
the people are afraid to trust their chill
dren from their doors without armed
escorts. Many dogs have been killed
while in the agonies of the disease
One horse had to be killei and some
half dozen cattle, one of tho latter, a
COW, chased child into the house.
Themother seeing the danger, fastened
the doors, when the animal tried to
force her way through the windows,
breaking glass and sash. The citizens
of the neighborhood met Wednesday
night and agreed TO kill all the dogs in
the neighbCrhood, thereby hoping to
secure protection from this terrible dis
ease.
Mr.. Morris informs us that no person
has, as vet, been bitten, though a lady
was attacked by her dog, whose teeth
penetrated her shoe, but fortunately
did not enter the flesh.-[ Mckinney
Enquirer.
The Enquirer also says that mad
dogs have appeared about Mckinney.
The authorities are alarmed and talk
ing the strietest precaution to prevent
calamities. 1t is well that our people
and authorities should be on the alert.

Murray does not preach the gospel
cause he has written II book on The
horse, and In that book he has said;
~ horse was .Nade for speed ~

horse approaches, as ] can conceive, to

intention as embodied In II, the more
speedy he becomes, Beauty andspced
are. therefore, as conceive, legitimate
objects Of desire aud udmlraliOni
and, since the horse cmbodles these
two characteristics In II greater degree
than any other domestic animal, II IL
n proof that the man Is OF sound judg-
ment, and lnclSeih not wisdom, who
desires 10 own II beautiful and fast

desire such creature seems TO me to
be lncking In some essential elements
of human nature, Something was
omitted In his construction, which be-
ing possessed, would have made him
larger and better, ! do not object,
therefore, either TO fast horses, as the
phrase Is, or TO driving them fast with.
In proper restrictions, such as common
sense humane impulse will nWu-
rally suggest lor do see any
reason why gentlemen, owners and
breeders alike of fine horses,
should not exhibit their PAGERS aud
their rate of speed at our annual fairs
when the people come together TO in
