AFRICAN EXPLORATIONS.

fphis land ofwonders is receiving an
unwonted attention from the geograp-
ical societies of the world since the
death of the illustrlous Livingston.
England and the United States are en-
ergetic rivals in that vast field of ex-
ploration, but Stanley's former aud
great success seems at least to have
been surpassed by that OF Lieutenant
Cameron, an English officer, who ar
rived safely at st. Paul de Loanda on
the 10th day of November last. This
gentleman crossed the continent of
Africa between the 9TH and Sth de-
grecs or south latitude, aud through q
vast wilderness In which no white
man had ever before set foot.
He had to force his way through al
most ihipenehsble jangles, deep and
deadly morassess, dangerous rivers,
and surrounded by tribes OF savages
inimieal to the European. His course
lay nearer the Equator than that Of
any former explorer. His efforts have
solved ,some Of the most curious aud
interesting problems Of African geogra-

LAST week cotton was selling in Da

LAST week cotton was selling in Dali
las for three dollars IA bale, more than
it was worth in New York. At that
rate some of the Dallas cotton buyers
will soon quit the business, unless their
pockets are deeper than those of most
mnrtals. - GdteSrHle San.
Dallas cotton buyers are generally
the agents of Eastern spinners who
buy largely of certain grades, and ship
the cotton after comprising here,
direct by rail. In no event are they
likely to sustain any loss as their COM
missions are assured.
Although Dallas is one of the best
cotton markets in the State, and the
highest legitimate price is always given
for the staple, let W, doubt If the SIN
be quite exact in stating that cotton Is
selling here at three dollars per bale
more than it is worth in New York.

Our sanetum Yesterday was graeed

Our sanctum yesterday was graced
by the genial presence ofGeneral John
j. Good. In the estimation of the
General no better time for forgiving
and forgetting could present itself than
these bright Christmas days, and it
happily occurred to him that the oc-
casion should-be taken advantage OF.
The Dallas county delegates, as far us
we are appraised, will urge unitedly the
nomination ofthis true Democrat aud
cultivated gentleman for the Court of
Appeals, and, inasmuch as Dallas
county asks for no other favor, it is
quite likely that the generosity of the
Galveston Convention will accord him
the position. -H- 0NA f-Il H

HARD TIMES.

A Congress of photographers could
scarcely evolve from their joint erudi-
tlon adjectives enough to qualify the
noun substantial 'dullness' as applica-
tive to the existing Broadway market
is the language of the New York Ter
aid in commenting upon the condi-
ton of commercial affairs in that city.
From Montreal, Canada, from Chicago,
st. Louie, and other great cities there
comes u cry for work from idle thou
sands who must have bread. There is
one remedy for this almost universal
restitution, and that is to pass the
Pacific Railway Bill, aud give employ
iiient to thousands upon thousands of
laborers. The iron manufacturers of
the East would then open in
FIJI Blast; the locomotive and car
works would be running night ana
day to supply this great route, while
all tagging industries upon the CONT
nant would feel the stimulus of this
inter-ocean highway. We of Texas
are prospering but we can not but
feel the profoundest sympathy for
the poor and destitute who can not
even by honest work earn q support for
their families.

LouIayANA,N SENATOR.

Upon the assembling of the Senate
after the holidays the motion to seat
Pinchback will doubtless be pressed to
vote by Morton and his allies. We
sincerely trust that that vote may not
be taken Until the Legislature OF
Louisiana is heard from which meets
on the first day Of January. Until
last week that Legislature stood 6S
Democrats to Us Republicans on joint
ballot, but the election of another
Democratic meml err from Grant par
ish by majority of one hundred and
twenty-seven votes gives to the Demo
Gratis just one majority on joint ballot.
This viii Secure to the Democrats of
our sister State the Senator elect,
whom we have every reason to be-
lieye, will supplant this oillcious negro
when proper credentials are presented
tothe Senate.

TIE ST. Louis Times and many of
our Texas exchanges recently gave

lent disposal of some twelve millions
of acres Of land in Southeastern Mis-

was simply fabricated by interested
parties 10 frighten off an English
capitalist, who had thought of pur-
chasing some mining lands In Shan

parties desired to control these mines
themselves and started the widest and

the newspapers swallowed the euor-

A SAD FATE.-The fate of Miss
Newton, of Delaware, was indeed
a sad one.
Fresh from boarding. school,
with a gay life of flutes and rose
leaves and moonbeams before her,
she was so shocked and mortified
when she heard her mother mis-
pronounce a word in the presence
of company that she went up
stairs and poisoned herself. Moth
ers ought to be more careful. If
they cannot pronounce words cor.
rectly when company comes, they
ought to conceal themselves in
the kitchen.

Educational Matters.

1t is said that of the 2s,G57 teachers EN-
ployed by New York state during the past
year, at least GO00 were entirely without
experience in teaching. OF 1880 teachers
specially reported, 2066 had received only
commons school education, 1890 had been
educated in a graded school, and had pur-
sued studies above the rudimentary ones,
937 had received more or less instruction in
normal schools, 1922 had attended academ-
les and seminaries, and 1873 had graduated
from colleges.
At an adjourned town meeting at Plymp-
ton, Mass, the subject Of schools was
only presented for consideration. With a
population of only about 800 souls, this
town heretofore supported six schools, in
as many different locations. The amount
of school money appropriated by the town
this year is $1,000. The town at this meet
ing voted to allow one-third of this amount
and one school at North Plympton, and
the remainder of the appropriation and
two schools at the Green, abolishing all the
rest. 1t was also voted to allow $40 per
year for the transportation of each scholar
more than miles from the green. There
are $50 scholars in town.

The Cemetery of GenOa.

There is, perhaps, no finer evidence of
the affiuence of living in Genoa than visit
to the marble city in which the dead Of
Genoa are entombed. This is the celebrat-
ed Campo Santo, one and half miles from
the town, the boosted cemetery of the an
cient maritime capital. 1t is complete
square, covering several acres, the whole
surrounded by granite arcades two or three
stories high on one side, the open space
filled with graves emptied every seven
years, and the bones transferred to cata-
combs, after the fashion of Paris and Rome.
These arcades are already being occupied
with the statues and monuments of the
Genoese nobility, and here you realize at
once the wealth in art and money OF these
centuried families. will not begin to de-
scribe in detail the uncommon grace and
elegance of these costly tributes to the
dead, bat there were some features unspeak-
ably new and touching. Here was the
faithful marble medallion likeness of the
dear father or mother. Here the faces and
figures of the whole family, including the
children around the death bed of their pa
rent; there were many of this kind. Here
was full-length statue which you could
see was likeness when the ashes below
moved in life. There were groups costing
from $12 900 to $4,000 each; the soldier
stood over his own grave in his own image
the sailor stood by his own helm the arch.
itect with his plan; the navigator with his
compass; the statesman in his chair; the
student with fingers between the leaves of
his favorite book. And there was one
vault, that of the Pallaricini family, in the
door of which bright angel stood with the
flaming sword waving away all earthly ad-
mittance to the solemn chamber. 1t was
all very unique and costly, and it was not
old, for most of these treasures have been
selected and created within tine last fifteen
years. The work itself is the work OF the
city of Genoa, and the revenue comes from
those who bury the dead in the open space,
and from the wealthy owners of the sur
rounding arcades. The chapel, after the
