AUSTIN don't like the idea of the

creased by her citizens going there to
settle. The wit of the Statesman has
done this thing A fact not fancy.

THERE is no sadder symptom Of soft
ening of the brain than when paper
gets down to publishing original poe
try. The Austin Statesman, we ara
panied to see Is distressing its readers
with poems"
Fort Worth, "whar the painter laid
down." will hardly permit herself, it
is hoped, to be Mortified out of the gil
gantic strides she is making towards
eclipsing Dallas, by the nocturnal Pc
mutations ola wilderness of ''pant-
ers.n
Mrs. r. w. LANDER, late Miss Dav-
export, the much admired actress, is

THE gifted being who does the heavy
satirical business for the Austin States
man is very fond of shying things at
Dallas, which in his virgin eyes is a
sink Of sin and stew of iniquity. If
Austin will wash her own dirty linen
at home, she won't have time to ex-
anime that hung out to dry on our
clothes line.

The expenses of the United States
government now far exceeds its in
come; the government obligations are
upon the eve of protest; the house of
representatives is afraid to take the re-
sponsibiIity of new taxes; and there is
but little prospect of immediate
income from coffee, tea or whisky.
a ten per cent tax on the whole free
list is now declared to bethe only re.

GENERAL AUGUR, the commander OF
this department, is making extensive
preparations to continue the campaign
against the Indians. The horses being
bought here are to be used on the war
path. The troops engaged will be about
three thousand, and if the efficient SER
vice rendered in The last campaign by
the gallant Mckenzie and others equal
ly deserving is guarantee, the noble
savage will not only be made to bite
the dust, but disgorge his ill-gotten

THOSE who despair of the republic
may begin to take. heart. No sooner
do the people of Michigan come to
their senses and pitch Chandler over
board, than Wisconsin serves that gay
Long Branch Lothario; Senator Car
penter, the same way. One by one do
these shining radical lights disappear
below the political horizon. Already
the heads of Butler, Chandler and Car
penter, whose vindictiveness, corrup-
ton and RIGHTEOUSNESS have so long
disgraced the capitol, have been asked
