fERsoNAL"-LaSS week Owen Gaffney, Esq,
of San Patricio, Tex, honored the STAR with q
call. He reports crop prospects and business
generally on the Neuces river as being good,
and the people as prospering. This part of Texas,
the extreme Southwest near the Mexican from
tier, was first settled by the Irish, hence it is
n" matter Of surprise that in all matters con-
nected with religion, it is far in advance OF
most other portions of the South. Mr.. Gaffney
belongs to the second generation of Irishmen
who emigrated to the Neuces river, having
settled there some thirty years ago. If we may
judge of a country by the physical appearance
and spirit of its residents, We are forced
to conclude that Mr.. Gafney's home is one
of the most healthy parts of the globe.

City Bonds.

We have been favored with q copy of tho
petition of the Misses Maenhaut and others
filed in the United States District Court for
this District, praying for relief as owners of
Consolidated Bonds Of the city of New
Orleans. The petition is signed by Judge
Campbell, Alfred Philips, Esq, and Ed.
Bermudez, Esq., as counsel, and exhibits q
good deal of research into the history of our
municipal finances. The petition takes two
principal grounds; the first of which is that
the issuance of all City Bonds since those of
the year 1869 has been an infringement of
the rights vested in the petitioners and
other owners of Consolidated Bonds, by
virtue of the starpte of 1852 authorizing
their issuance.
The ground which principally interests
the public, however, is that wherein the
government of the city, created upon the
change of charter in the year 1870, is at
tackled as being not represeu tative and re-
publican. By the act of that session, the
popular government was abolished and the
Governor of the State was authorized to
appoint the Mayor and councilmen, or ad
m'nistrators, forming the legislative body
which should have the power to incur debts
aud impose taxes. In other words, the
Governor could do all this himself, because
gus facit per aliud, .faeit per Sc.
This is a most serious ground and, in our
humble opinion, completely fatal one. In
republican form of government taxes
cannot be imposed except by the people or
their representatives. Neither can debts
be incurred for them save through the same
agency. If the State undertakes to en-
power a certain man or certain men to be
the agent or agents of the people in q
limited locality, without their consent, par
ticularly if such agents are to have bower
to cucumber their property with taxes or
debts, then such local government is es-
sentially in all respects a despotism. 1t
does not even keep up the semblauce of
self-goVernment or representative govern
ment.
To say that the people thus tyrannized
over are bound by the acte of usurpers ia
an absurdity. 1t is adding insult to injury
to seriously maintain such a proposition. 1t
Is bad enough to be plundered in the shape
OF taxation which cannot be resisted, but
to be saddled with burthens for the future.
even after the deppotism has been thrown
on and self government restored, would be
imbecility on the part of the victims.
1t may be said, and is said by some very
good people, that to repudiate the bonds OF
such a government would work a great
hardship upon their innocent holders. But
we must not forget that there can be M in.
nocent holders. People who receive such
bonds are accessories after the fact. They
play the part of the Fence" or receiver
of stolen goods. II it were not for them

ernor could not get away with their plum.

AUTUMN LEAv s.-Fremy, French
chemist, by subjectng the alcoholic solu-
ton of chlorophyl, which is the coloring
matter of leaves, to the action of ether and
muriatic acid, separated it into two sub.
stances, one yellow and the other blue,
green. 1t is we'll known that acid will
turn vegetable blue into red. If, then, we
suppose that the juice of leaves is kept in
neutral condition by vital force or by
alkaline matter brought up in the sap, and
that when the active circulation of the sap
ceases, the atmospheric oxygen rendered it
acid, the leaf-juice would redden the blue
substance of the chlorophyl. Frost is one
of the influences which arrest the circula-
ton of the sap and in the manner stated
causes a change in the color of the leaf.
If the frost occurs early in the fall when
there is plenty of juice in the leaves, the
red colors are brilliant; but if the leaves
die slowly, the juices dry up, the skin
hardens and the brown color of decay pre-
dominates. If the autumnal red leaf is
exposed to an alkali, the green color is
restored. The waxy varnish in different
leaves will vary the color. Yellow leaves
result when the blue substance of the chlor-
ophyl is from some cause entirely destroyed,
leaving the yellow part only, as is supposed
to occur in some maple, the chestnut and
other leaves. Chlorophyl when examined
with the spectroscope, shows two well-de-
fined dark bands, one in the blue and one
in the red part of the spectrum.

OLD TEMPERANCE SocIETIEs.-The vari-
GUS laws which were frequently enacted in
Germany in the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, to check drunkenness, or, at
least, immoderate drinking of wine and
spirits, proved utterly abortive, owing to
the social life of the Middle Ages, which
was chiefly based upon QuaHng.
Charlemagne himself was obliged to
order that the counts and margraves should
at least be sober when sitting in courts of
justice, while the German emperors were, at
their col onation ceremony, asked, "whether
they promise, by the help of God, to lead
sober life!' Indeed, all the laws and reg
ulations of the sixteenth century were
mainly directed against drunkenness, but
not against drinking. Even Luther was
no enemy to wine; witness the large goblet
(still extant at Nuremburg) which he pre-
scented to his friend Jonas.
A temperance society was at last formed
by the aristocracy of the sixteenth century,
and the following we're among the rules:
l. To drink daily only fourteen cups of
wine.
2.Italian, Spanish or hot-spiced wines are
prohibited beyond one cup day, which
must be deducted from the daily allowance.
3. For the further quenching of thirst
beer is allowed.
4. These fourteen cups must not be
drunk at once, but after at least three
intervals.
The temperance cause, it would seem,
has made some advance in three hundred
years.

treasures has been greatly increased. The
most of the rich and elegant gold orna-
ments which the museum contained have
been taken away, and are to be sent, with
other things, to the American Centennial
Exhibition next year; and thus our people
will be able to see, at home, what costly
ornaments the Queens and wealthy women
of ancient Egypt wore.
Education is now receiving great atten-
ton in Egypt. The present Khedive has
great many difficult problems to solve be-
fore he raises his people to the level of
modern civilized nations. One is to supply
his country with the means of rapid inter-
communication, in which would be included
facilities for reaching markets. This is
being provided for in the large number of
railroads that are being built. Americans
residing here say that Egypt is better sup
piled with railroad communications than
almost any other country. Another diff
cult problem is to change the oriental char
acter of his large cities and towns. In
this direction gardens are being laid out,
streets opened, fine public buildings are
being erected, and trees planted, all in true
Napoleonic style. Another problem was
the matter of education, and the change
that has already been brought about in this
respect can almost be termed the revival of
learning in Egypt. 1t is now law of the
land that every soldier that enters the
army must learn to read and write. The
officers also must learn some foreign Ian
guage-either English or French. But the
soldiers learn to read and write in Arabic.
1t is not uncommon to see 5000 soldiers
studying at once. They are taught by
their officers. The pay of a soldier is very
small. He receives at first about fifty cents
month, and after while about one dollar
month. But he is we'll clothed and we'll
fed, and certainly taught to read and write
if he does not know how when he enters
the service. Besides, great deal of atten-
ton is paid now to the education of girls.
The Khedive's mother supports school
where three hundred girls are being edu-
Gated. Then there are great many schools
besides this, we'll provided with teachers,
expressly for training girls and young
women. AS Mr.. Beardsley, the American
Consul, expressed it, there is a perfect
mania here for education. This is one of
the most hopeful signs in Egypt.

EYES OF INsECTs.-The compound eyes
of insects are among the most wonderful
objects in nature. In the common house
fly, the two compound eyes appear as large
convexities on either side of the head.
These convexities, examined with micro
scope, are seen to be an immense number
of hexagonal facets, or six-sided eyes, each
being a distinct eye in itself, furnished
with an iris, pupil, and perfect nervous
apparatus. AS the eyes of insects are
immovable, their want of mobility is made
up for by their immense number, some or
other of them being turned to every point,
so that the insect can see all around as
readily as with a movable eye. The house
fly has 1000 of these lenses; the dragon
fly, $4,000; the butterfly, $1,000, and bee
ties %, 900.
