r1rE wHITE EEAoUE OF LoUIsIANA

While we fully sympathize with the whites
of Louisiana in the grievances which they
have suffered and the Outrages to which
they have been subjected, still, we think
that they, or some Of them, have made
mistake in attempting to form an exclu-
sively white mans party. Not that we de-
sire them to affiliate with the negroes, or be
made subservient to their rule or will--iust
the opposite; and because we do not, we
think that they have not exercised that dis
cretion which will lead to victory, and re-
lease them from negro domination. In
order to shake of negro supremacy, it
would be well for the whites to unite, but
not as an exclusively white mans party.
It is evident that every white man who can
be relied upon will, of his own choice,
identify himself with the whites without
party known and called the white
League" II then the better class will act
together, what advantage is gained by cx-
Guiding the blacks! 1t is evident that if
the whites are in the ascendant, then such a
party might unite all in opposition to the
Radical and negro party; but as the ne
groes have majority of voters, and arc
likely to have for some time, in what re-
spect can the whites be benefited by the
formation of new party, based entirely
upon color2 We can very well understand
how CALLING and disgusting it is to be
under the rule Of ignorant and dishonest
men, but as parties are formed for the pur-
pose of bettering our condition, and not
merely for the name, VIC think that the
movement is premature and can do no good.
But if the object is to build up an impassa-
bic barrier apd inaugurate war of races,
so that the arbitrament of the sword shall
be the weight which turns the scale, then
those who originated the White League win
be successful. Are the movers for the for
nation Of the new party prepared for such
an event2 If not, then they would do well
to abandon the idea and seek 10 unite the
honest and reliable Of all parties and color
in opposition 70 the dominant, thieving,
plundenng party.

State Fair DOts-some Things Of Interest
20 Visitors.

The Office of the Fair Association. in
Gray's building, is a perfect beehive. Let
tiers Of all sorts pour in hourly, and the
committees are rushed to keep up with
their work
A large file OF applications for space were
shown to us and all are by no means in
hand yet. An additional building was or
dered and has been commenced, to accom-
modate exhibitors of carriages, buggies,
wagons, etc.
Four large pavilions are being erected to
afford shade and resting places for visitors.
The amount of available shade and water
will be four times larger this year than it
was last year.
Gen. DeBray writes that himself and
Gen.. Beauregard will be IN attendance
positively, to review the military compa-
mics.
With the stands to be sold to-day, in opera
ton with the others already sold, persons
visiting the Fair need not return to the city
for dinner, as it will be served cheaply by a
restaurant upon the grounds.
There will be a beautiful fountain in full
play during the Fair, and operated with the
aid of a windmill in forcing the water.
The railroads began selling half-rate
tickets on Sunday, so we may expect an in
fiux of our country friends on Monday.
The roads are also reducing their freight
bills in some instances, upon articles
shipped here for exhibition.
A car load of sash, blinds and doors from
Bellville, Ill.,, factory arrived in the city,
via the Central road. The articles are for
exhibition.
Twenty-Five head of blooded horses, COM
prising runners and trotters, of the Pilot,
Morgan and other Noted studs, are on the
grounds. They came from breeding rancho
near San Antonio, and are said to be ''fast
crabs" Their exhibitor says he will take
of some of the prizes from all competitors
in the speed and show ring.
Pat Christian has entered two thorough
bred Texas raised horses, which are said to
be fast and fine animals.
We might multiply these items ten-fold
and not exhaust our notes, but we defer
any other mention in this issue. The
prospects grow brighter for success every
day.
The donkey engines, in their number,
styles, etc., will make one of the most COM
plete classes of articles shown.-HoustOn

Mr.. w. F. TURKEY, who lives six miles
from the city, on the Bonham road, called
upon us last Saturday, and reports that not
withstanding the late frosts and hail storm,
his fruits safe and he thinks out of danger,
and that his orchards promise and abundant
yield of both apples and peaches. Mr.. Tur-
ley has 5000 peach trees and 800 apple trees
bearing, many of the peach trees having
borne fruit the next season after planting
the stone, and the third season after plant
ing his orchard produced five hundred
bushels of peaches, some of which weighed
fourteen ounces each. Some of his apple
trees produced fruit the next season after
planting from the nursery. Can California
or ''Arkansaw" make better showing for
fruitl
MIR. Turley has planted 5000 more apple
and peach trees this STANDARDIZATION Ners.
Mr.. Turkeys example should be followed
generally. Good fruit is a great luxury,
and so healthy.

orc, which requires a third les heat for
smelling than the solid rock ore. He
praises the efforts that have been thus far
made toward developing our iron resources.
and says his observation is that Jefferson is
highly favored in this respect. Il only
needs capital to develop il, and proper en-
teTprisc Is sure TO bring that. There Is no
doubt that our chief interest toward build
ing Jefferson up TO substantial and impor-
taDt city is in encouraging manufactures.
It should be the object of our men Of bust
ness and capital to work for the establish
ment of manufactures, and the rapid de-
velopment and completion Of our railroad
enterprises. If this is done success IS
bound to follow, and that rapidly.

HUMORs OF ADvERTIsING.-As a general
rule, advertisers who write their own
wishes, make them rather ambiguous in
their meaning. The Centennial gets off a
few of these thus:
Somebody wants "a young man, to look
after horse of the Methodist persuasion"
Zone pound reward. Lost; a cameo
brooch, representing Venus and Adonls on
the Drumcondra road, about ten o'clock on
Tuesday evening""
''To be sold, cheap; a male phaeton, the
property of a gentleman with movable
head, as goOda new"
Ten shilhngs reward Lost by lady,
whltc terrier dog, except the head, which
is black. To be brought, y etc.
TOthese Irish advertisements may be adj
ded an English one, which was the subject
of a humorous article in the Saturday Re
UieU some four or five years since:
ITO be sold, agrand piano, the property
of lady about TO travel in a walnut wood

BLUE SKY AND WHITE CLOUDS. = The
ethereal blue color of the sky is due to
minute particles of matter which float in
the air. Were these particles removed, the
appearance of the sky would be dead black.
1t is fact in optics that exceedingly fine
portions of matter dispense or scatter the
blue rays of light, coarser portions scatter
red rays, still coarser portions scatter all
the rays, making white light An atmos-
phere is full of aqueous vapOr, the parti-
cles of which diffuse white light in all di
rcctions. When these particles are en-
larged they become visible in the form of
clouds. The vapor particles of the white
clouds are supposed to be finer and lighter
than those of the dark clouds. That the
diffusion of light in our atmosphere, the
blue coloring of the sky and the colors of
the clouds are due to the presence of mat
ter floating in the air, has been conclusively.
proven by Prof. Tyndall. On passing a
beam of sunlight through glass tube the
beam is rendered brilliantly visible by the
reflection of light from the dust particles
floating in the air contained in the tube.
But on removing the dust particles, which
is done by filtering the air by cotton, wool,
or causing the air to pass over a flame, the
beam of light Is no longer visible in the
tube.-Scientifc american.

cording to recent statistics, amounts to

The San Antonio herald has this to say
about the stage robbery:
We have it from the best of sources that
after the robbery the three highwaymen
went to Cuero where they disposed of the
stage horses to parties going to Mexico and
then purchased others. Their purchasing
horses instead of stealing them looks
little uprofessional, but such is
the case. At Cuero they separated, two
of them going one way and Mr.. James
Reed Capt. James Reed, we should saw
another. About two weeks ago Miss Nc
Comus Ito whom it is said Reed was en-
gagged to be married), and was tarrying at
San Marcos, went to Austin, procured a
railroad ticket, and had not returned by last
accounts. She has probably gone to join
Reed, and there is also good reason to be-
lieve that after selling the horses. at Cuero,
Reed returned to San Marcos and posted
her as to his future plans.
If Reed is as shreWd as they say he is, he
will return Immediately to Austin or San
Antonio. This is the only section of the
country where he can feel himself secure
from detection.
