KANSAS AND TEXAS.
The Kansas Editors Come, See and are
Conquered.
A Big Talk, by which Several Innocent
Parties are Dclrauded 0fa
Good DlnHer.

iR,priuis, the reporter will confess
that he has never had very high
opinion of free excursions, and that he
has yet to see the first instance where
in they resulted in any particular bene-
fit except to the participants. But he
will also confess, by way of parenthe-
sis, that If there is any class of men on
Gods green footstool who are deserv-
ing of a little leniency, it is Kansas
editors. They are all good men lat
least they ought to be), work hard, and
hone tly earn all they get. Exception
al cases have been heard of, of course.
Dallas was all excitement, yesterday,
to receive delegation of Kansas edi
tors. The party numbered one hun
dred and thirty ladies and gentlemen.
His honor, in "A shining suit of new
broadcloth, nervously stepped to aud
fro awaiting the arrival of the train,
while the benevolent countenances of
several of the city fathers, who were
resplendent in snowy linen, stood ST.
lently by, casting admiring glances at
the mayors new suit and their own
well polished brogans. Thompson's
band stood in eager expectance, horns
in hand, awaiting the signal to send
forth, in melodious strains, Dallas
greeting to her distinguished visitors.

After musical salute from the band,
the visitors disem marked, aud marched
by twos to the San Jacinto. Here
II formal reception took place, his
honor Welcoming them, and gener-
ously offering them the Inequalities Of
the city. His honor then introduced
Major John Henry Brown, who again
welcomed the visitors. Major Brown
introduced the gentleman who still
votes for Henry Clay, General A. b.
Norton, who again welcomed the Wis
itors. General Norton was followed by
Mr.. Anthony, Of the Leavenworth
Times, in a neat speech, in which he
returned thanks for himself and the
party for the courtesies extended. Mr..

Crops.

From a gentleman just returned to
the city from an extended tour through
Collin and Rockwell counties, The
HERALD is Informed that the wheat is
splendid. There has generally been a
good stand of corn, though the late
cool weather has been rather back.
set. Cotton is being planted, aud by
the end of this week, the majority of
planters will be through.
A gentleman from Ellis county rep
sesents the wheat crop as the most
promising for years. The recent cold
snap has been rather injurious to corn,
though no particular damage has been
done. Cotton planting is going on
briskly. In some localities cotton is
already up.

Under the Wheels.

Mcssrs. Wilson, Innis and Golay,
all clever gentlemen and crack shots,
buclSled on their breech-loadlng how.
Tiers yesterday, and mounting their
chariot moved out from Dallas
with murderouS designs against all
ployers aud the fcathered creation
generally. They were accompanied by
two young ladies, Misses Gorham aud
Golay, aud when near the Barber gar-
den, at the crossing of Dallas branch,
their vehicle suddenly overturned on
It's side, aud the entire party was
pitched out, The gentlemen immedi-
ately sprung to the horses heads and
brought them TO the ground, and then
eXtrlcated the ladies from their I'M
pleasant position beneath the wheels.
Fortunately all escaped with unbroken
limbs, though one Of the young ladies
asseverely bruised. Nothing daunted,
however, the bold hunte;s with their
fair companions opened the campaign,
and made matters very warm for the
unoitending plover bagging sixty-one.
Having borrowed an umbrella and
purchased parasol that had done duty
IN the ark, from an aged colored lady,
they returned TO the city and repaired
damages.
