TheTeIegraph writes up the India

heTelegraph writes up the Indian
question, and its article sounds very
like thefSseate efnsion Of q half-blown
school boy IN q, his maiden effort.
Come, brother, Telegraph, and take q
few turns with ye noble red man, and
all these fine drawn theories will go
glimmering at once. The idea of an
Indian respecting anything, is retresh-
ingly yernal, and no other paper IN
the State, save the Telegraph, would
have gotten off so touchingly innocent
sentiment Waco Enan,iner.
Ifothe EXAMINER will take the
trouble to call upon our old friend,
Gen; Jas. =. Harrison, be will find a
gentleman that knows q great deal
more about Indians than either OF us,
and We prefer to leave it to him which
Is right about them.-Zsle0raph.
Why, man, we have had. little

The Sulphur Springs Gazette looks at

brief, but very sharply pointed, and we
will give our readers the benefit of perus

The public. printing muddle seems to
grow and gather force as. it grows. 1t
Is discussed by persons who either know
but little OF the merits of the case or who
purposely misrepresent the facts. The
majority of the 14th Legislature thought
it good policy to change the manner Of
having the printing done by contract, so
as to secure the work for the State at the
lowest possible rates: and to carry out
the object sought to be attained, consti-
tuted the Governor, Attorney General
and Secretary Of State q board to control
it. Accordingly, the printing board gave
notice that scaled proposals to do the pubs

certain date. Those who were unsucess.

The Grandbury Vidette, alluding
to the Telegraph's charge as to the
purchasable character of the Texas
press, says! 1n.
We are gtatiied to see that the
ExAMNRR, Notwithstanding the
many iHuendoes sabout the News
notices, does not endorse the Teles
yraphin the matter.
It is thus very purchasable quality
OF the News that We object to, and
We took the position that the News
had deceived the country press with
regardTto many things, and these
same notices more than anything
else. Many papers while giving the
News credit for Its enterprise IN se-
curing the latest and fullest informa
tion,yet spoke in strong terms con
demnatory ofits politics, and railroad
policy. These notices were garbled
in mary instances and republlshed
by the News. We have never deal,

EIGHT THO USAND MILES IN TWO
MINUTES.

The latest feat on record ofthe electric
telegraph:
A gentleman of the Western Union
Telegraph Office, at No, l45 Broadway,
New York, was sitting in the cable room
when telegram for Philadelphia, des-.
tined from Paris, came over the wires,
This message like all others from France
was to 60 over the cable via Duxbury,
Mass. The operator called Duxbury
few times, and then said: "That fellow is
asleep evidently; but the cable men are
always awake-I'll have to get one of
them to 90 in and wake him up" So he
stepped to another desk, called Plaster
Cove, in Newfoundland, and sent the fol-
lowing message: ITO Cable Operator,
Duxbury: Please 90 in and wake up my
own true love-" This message Plaster
Cove fastened to send across the ocean
to Valencia, Ireland who in turn rushed
it to London; thence it was hurried to
Paris, and still on to the European end
of the French cable at st. Pierre; the op-
orator there then flashed it back to Dux-
bury. In less than two minutes by the
clock the message had accomplished its
journey Of some eight thousand miles by
land and sea, and was evidenced by the
clicking of the instrument on the Dux-
bury desk, which licked out, "That is a
nice way to do; 20 ahead. Your own
true,lOye" ffiilifffni' iiii

the rudder end of the yacht as he gazed
at my advancing boat. On getting into
the Yacht l found the marchese in state
of angry exclamation, very unusual with
him, in consequence of blunder made
by his secretary in the wording of the
invitations. None of his noble friends
had arrived, that day week having been
specified by mistake. However, the
marchese was determined not to be dis
appointed in his intended amusement

ARTIRcAL BUTTER

One ofthe largest factories in the world
for the manufacture of artificial butter is
situated at Hamilton, Ontario This fac
tory has a capacity of making eight or
ten thousand pounds day. All the ap-
pointments, says a New York paper. are
convenient, nothing could be sweeter or
Gle amer than the rooms, the walls being
well made and painted with shelac var,
nish. Tanks, churns and presses are in
separate rooms. Great care is exercised
in the selection of fat, The difficulties ol
securing good color and grain remain
to be overcome. The proprietors use
about fifty pounds of the very best milk
to every two hundred pounds of suet oil
and churn IL an hour by steam power
IT is afterward cooled in watts and theu
worked by a single lever until all the
milk is removed and the salt is worked
in, when II is packed with ladies in tubs
The butter thus made sells at from six
teen to.twenty-eight cents a pound whole
sale.

When Maine was district of Massa
Chusetts, Ezekiel Whitman was elected
to represent the district in the Massachu-
sets Legislature. He was an eccentric
man, and one of the best lawyers of his
time. He owneda farm, and did much
work on his land and when the time
came for him to set out for Boston, his
best suit of clothes was q suit of home
spun. His wife objected to his going in
that garb, but he did not care. 81 will
get nice fashionable suit made as soon
as | reach Roston,' he said.
Reaching his destination, Whitman
found rest at Doolittle's City Tavern. Let
it be understood that he was graduate
of Havard, and at this tavern he was at
home. AS he entered the parlor of the
house he found several ladies and gen.
tlemen assembled, and he heard re-
mark from one of them, "Ah, here comes
countryman of the real hOmespun ge-
nus. Here's fun" Whitman stared at
the company, and then sat down.
"Say, my friend, you are from the
country remarked one of the gentle
men.
="Ya-as," answered Ezekiel, with aludi-
Crous twist of the face.
The ladies Uttered.
"And what do you think Of our city ~
It's pooty thick settled place, any

"And good many people, too"
"Ya-as, | should guess So" ...

"Plenty of ladies, suppose?"
"Ya-as, a fair sprinklin'."

The ladies clapped their hands but
what was their surprise when the stran-
ger, rising, spoke calmly and clearly as
follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to
wish you health and happiness, with
every blessing earth can afford; and may
you grow better and wiser with advanc-
ing years, bearing ever in mind that out
ward appearances are often deceitful
You mIstook me, from my dress, for a

superficial cause, thought you were ladies

THRILLING WITH A CORONER


Recently an excited individual, with
his hat standing on two hairs and his
eyes projecting from his head like the
horns of snail, rushed into the Office Of
Coroner Holmes. The Coroner is by pro-
fession dentist, and his first thought as
he glanced at the man was that he was
well nigh distracted with the toothache.
He was soon undeceived, however, as the
frenzied individual cried out, rs soon as
could catch his breath after running up
stairs, "Been man murdered P
"a man murdered" cried the Coroner.
"How2 Where?"
"In garding, | believe, with club or
a rock" d
"How long ago2" cried the Coroner,
seizing his hat and cane.
"Been done good while, and no po-
lice nor constable hasn't never done
nothing about IT, Never been coroner
set on his body or nothin' of the kind
no verdict"
"What's the dead mans name2 Who
was he?, cried the Coroner.
His name was Abel"
"Abel? Abel whoT'
"Don't know. Never heard nothing
but his first name"
"Well, what is the name of the man
who killed him? Do they know? Any
one suspected~
Z Well, I've heard that fellow named
Cain put out his light. Cain was the
brother of Abel, and"
Coroner, Aourishing his cane, cries
"You git down them stairs, my fine
fellow. Git, and don't show yourself
here again"
With loud g1ffaw, the fellow went
down stairs three steps at time, the doc
tor calling after him, "How dare you trihe
with an officer in this way, sir?"-FfoB

GAS you are resolved to die, " said the
marchese, after long pause-"as You
prefer to die rather than take the oath l

way think most appropriate. When
that bolt, which has at present scarcely
attained redness, arrives at white heat,
it shall be applied to the oritce of an OBJ
