ATTACKS ON FRENCH SENTINELs.-The
continual attacSs reported upon senti-
nels and soldiers in France are very puz-
zling to those who wish to doubt that an
epidemic of homicidal mania is raging
among us. Not week passes without
its accident of this sort. 1t is curious to
observe that sentries keeping guard over
magazine are especially victims of
these cowardly attempts. The time se-
lected is generally about 2 A. NJ. In
fact, circumstances so similar are repor-
ted from all parts of France, that one
would be inclined to treat the stories as
''made mp" did not some poor fellow
show a wound from time to time. 1t is
not extraordinary that the assailants es-
cape in most cases. When arrested by
happy chance, they seem to be always
strangers to the man attacked. At
Caen, a week since, the sentry at the
magazine was shot at, and on Monday
again. This determined villainy at :
tracts more notice than the rest. About
@ A. NJ. the sentry was pacing his beat in
darkness, when he saw two or three peo-
pie stealing towards him. General Du-
crot ordered, some months since, that
soldiers on guard who perceived suspi-
cious persons approaching should fire
after one challenge. These Caen scoun-
drels accepted the order for themselves,
and as soon as the sentry called they
shot. He returned the fire, the guard
turned out, and his assailants vanished.
Night duty in France at this time has
terrors not unlike those which. thrilled
our youthful hearts in readings a novel
of FeniDore Cooper's. Government
might direct inquiry to less important
matters than this plague of sentrycide.

SAN FRANc1sco. Sept. 1.-THE recent
lively feeling manifested in the stock
market has caused considerable pressure
to be exertsd in favor of opening both
the Pacific and San Francisco stock ex-
changes. At meeting however to-day
nothing was done except to appoint a
committee to confer with similar COM
mittee from the San Francisco board in
regard to the settlement of outstanding
business. There is evidently strong
feeling among many members of the
Pacific Exchange in favor of renewal
of business in the San Francisco board.
On the contrary the sentiment of mem
bers generally much opposed toit, which
may be accounted for by the fact that
members of the San Francisco board
are to great extent involved in the
suspension of the Bank of California
and consequently ale in bad condition
for resumption until that institution
opens its doors again for business. The
re-opening is now mainly dependent
upon the pending arrangements with
correspondents-Eastern and Foreign
and Consequently it is impossible to
give any definite date for resumption.

ASTREAM OF DEATH.-The Scranton
(Pa.) Times says: "But few that live
along the Lackawanna have become
conscious of the fact that it is stream
of death. Nowhere is there to be found
a living thing in its waters. But few
years since there were large numbers of
fish and eels in it. One might see, in
passing along its banks between Scran-
ton and Providence, numbers of men
and boys fishing. Their occupation is
completely gone. There are no snakes,
no lizards, no frogs. no toads, no rep
tiles of any sort found, and no wild game
upon its waters. Everything is dead.
The waters, at all times, is perfectly
transparent. But whilo it has produced
death to every. living thing that has
made IFS waters its home, it has, at the
same time, improved tho health of all
who have come to reside near it."
These singular influences are attribu-
ted to drainage from the coal mines
which finds its way into the river.

KING LOUIS of Bavaria has put himself
in the list OF crowned asses whose position
has immortalized their folly. His latest freak
is to initiate Louis XIV of France, the
''grande monarque" Of history and scandal
ous chronicle. A Bavarian royal residence
has been transformed into a miniature imi-
tation of French palace of 10 years ago,
the court attendants have been attired in the
costume OF that time, and the French Lam
guage alone is permitted to be spoken. Not
many days since the mad king resolved to
have stag hunt like those of the olden time.
He had neither deer nor hounds nor forest.
But tthese defects were easily remedied. Hounds
were got from England. In default of real
stag an artificial one to go by clock.work,
and wound up like an alarm clock to run a
certain time before it "struck," was made by
an ingenious mechanic of Munich But a
difficulty arose. The artificial deer gave out
% scent and the hounds would not follow it.
A wise chamberlain got over this trouble,
however. The hounds were starved for a
few Gays. Then string of sausages was
tied to the stag's tail and he was set to run
ming. The dogs scented the sausages and ran
like the hounds of the wild huntsman.
Tney fell fiercely upon the sausages. The
onset threw the deer down, aud the contriv-
ance lay upon the ground, striking out with
its legs in the air and pleading as we'll as it
could TO be throttled. But the dogs gave It
no heed, aud fell to fighting among them
selves for the sausages. The King ordered
the hunt suspended and shut himself up in
his castle after the fashion of Heinz Won
Stein; but he cannot shut out the laughter
of all Germany.

tion of the financial absurdities of Wendell

The state Medical Association.
Austin Statesman. 7th.l


The State Medical association met
in representative hall yesterday, at
half past ten O'clock. The president,
DIR. A. G.. Ciopton, first \ce-prcsident,
DR.. l.. D. Wooten, second vice-pres-
dent, DR.. II. NJ. Oliver, recording sec
rotary, ID. w. A. East, corresponding
secretary, DR.. j. Il. Lay, treasurer, DR..
j, clarendon, and about fifty members
Of the association, answered to roll call.
The president announced that there
was quorum present, and that the as
-sociation was ready for business. a
prayer was then offered by Rev. Mr..
Lee, of ST. David's church, when DR..
W. a. Morris, chairman Of the COM
mittee OF arrangements, delivered an
address of welcome. to the association.
The doctor said that hel had no elab-
crate speech to make, but that he APP
peared before the association in behalf
of the medical association OF Travis
county and the citizens Of Austin, and
for them It afforded him pleasure to
welcome all those who bad left their
homes and friends in different portions
of the state in the cause of science TO
come to the city of Austin. After as.
surfing the association, many of whom
were total strangers in the city, that
the people of Austin would do all in
their power TO make their stay pleas
ant, and EXPRESSING his pleasure In
seeing SO many present, repre-
seutinF, rs they did, the
medical profession from different por
tions of the state--a state great in The
extent OF its territory, great in her de-
veloped and undevelOped resources,
great in all the material elements of
wealth anu prosperity, and great in the
teeming millions of intelligent beings
who must people her wide domain
DR.. Morris photographed the frture
grandeur of our great empire state,
with its rich soil inviting those in
health, and its climate, unsurpassed in
salubrity, inviting invalds from every
nation and cline. The doctor dealt
in glowing language regarding the
wonderful development of this coun-
try, when the two republics aud the
Atlantic and Pacific should be linked
together with railroad, over which
the travel aud commerce of two cODti-
nents should pass, unobstrncted by the
SHOWS of winter or endangered by the
epidemics Of miasmatic regions. With
educational institutions of the highest
order, with government free in
theory and practice, with her never
falling streams diverted from their
ehanuels, feriilizing rich valleys now
unproiuctive. and with other advan-
tnges, Texas has future grand to con-
template. The doctor then wanted
the question considered as to what
part the medical profession should take
IN the onward march Of events towards
such grand future, and he thought
that perhaps the action Of the present
aseetnblage might be to throw tie
profession in line with Il e
moving forces He said we have no
medical college In accord with the
