THREE TEXAS PAPERS,

1t is pleasant to note the fact the
press of the state keeps up with the
general progress in ability, enterprise
ana success. While the great majority
OF the papers are not making money,
and many OF them are struggling with
u lack Of patronage, yet the leading
ones will, in every respect, compare
favorably with those of any of the
older states, the same amount of cap
ital invested being considered.
The Galveston News stands confess
eddy mt the head Of the press of Texas,
in point OF capacity for news, and in
the variety, currency and information
of its editorials. Mr.. ID. c. Jenkins,
the chief writer, was for years the ed
ito2 of that famous and scholarly pa
per, the New Orleans Delta, one of the
ablest journals of its day, and cele-
6rated for its literary attachments aud
versatile, graphic leaders. Afterwards
Mr.. Jenkins edited the Picayune with
great tact, dignity and power. Since
his connection with the News that pa
per has risen to a higher and more pol
ished school of journalism, and has
completely thrown of all provincial
ism. The business thrift of the News
is to be attributed to the admirable
financial and business talents of Colo

A short time since the work of prepar-
alton for the new monument to be
erected over the grave of the lamented
poet, Edgar Allen Poe, was begun. In
order to prepare suitable foundation, it
was found necessary to remove the re-
mains from where they lay to the neigh
boring grave of Mrs. GLENN, the mother
of Poe's first wife, and the disinterment
took place late one afternoon. The
grave, without a single distinguishable
mark beyond the green mound, stands in
the southeastern portion of the old
Westminster grave yard, at the corner
of Green and Fayette streets, and has
probably been the most neglected of any
within the Enclosure. The laborers en-
ployed to perform the task, upon digging
to depth of about five feet, discovered
the coffin in good preservation, after
having lain in its place nearly twenty-six
years. The lid was removed, and the re-
mains curiously examined by the few
present. There, before: their gaze, was
extended the skeleton, almost in perfect
condition, and lying with the long bony
hands reposipg one upon the other, as
they had been arranged in death. The
skull bore marks of greater decay, the
teeth from the upper jaw having become
dislodged, but those in the lower jaw
were all in place, and some little hair
was Still clinging near the forehead. Be-
yond what has been described nothing
was to be seen. The coffin was inclosed
in another, and Observation-Disclosures

A Strange Discovery.
fSt. Clair County (Mich.) Correspo ndence AL
Country Gentleman.

[St. Clair County (Mich.) Correspo ndence Albany
Country Gentleman.]
We are having a very interesting
mystery here in the shape of the second
edition of the famous Cardiff giant. Two
men living in the town of Kimball, ten
miles from Port Hudson, while out hunt
ing stopped to gather specimens of stone
from a gravel bed in Pine river that was
washed out from the bank near by during
the freshet year ago. In this loose
bank they uncovered a stone resembling
the face of child. After looking at it
in wonder for a time, they, thinking of
the doubt that hangs over the discovery
of the famous giant, went out and brought
fifteen or twenty men to witness this be-
fore taking it out. 1t was then removed
with a mass of gravel adhering. The
face, chin, throat, part of the right arm,
shoulders, breast, part of one arm and
whole of the other showed distinctly in
perfect form, all the rest merging into a
mass of gravel and small stones, cemented
together the same as seen in any gravel
pit. The right arm is bent, the fore arm
lying across the body; the other is bent
below the elbow. The eyes are well
defined and very broad forehead flat
and sloping; nose small, sharp; nostril.
open; lips very thin, fiat; mouth well
defined-curve of lips perfectly natural.
chin square; slight depression or dimplt
over the breast bone; also just above the
arm where the ribs meet, or at least JUS
below where they meet. The form o
the breast is perfect. The skin on th'
surface is smooth, not showing marks O
tools. Some call it petrified child, ant
account for the great breadth of the heac
at the eyes by some pressure that fattenet
the forhead. Among the small stones ar
petrified coral, shells, ETC., such as ar
very common through this couAtry. Cal
you tell us what it is?

Laughter.

Laughter is a necessity. We are aware
of the fact that there are great many
ascetic individuals in the world, who
think that depravity is the normal con-
dition of the human species, and that
wickedness is the univeral principle, and
consequently, that long, sad faces, mourn
ing over this condition of things, is ne
cessary.
But we don't agree with them. No
wise, thoughtful man can agree with
them. We may not be particularly wise
in every thing, but in regard to laughter
we think we are.
Laughter is faculty bestowed ex.
clusively upon man, according to the
declaration of a great living Psychologist,
and should be occasionally INDUCED in
for health and comforts sake.
Titus, the wise man, used to say that
he had lost day when it passed without
laughter.
The pilgrims at Mecca are wiser than
some very, very religious people of this
country, whom we might name. These
pilgrims consider laughter 80 essential a
part of their devotion, that they call
upon their prophet to save them from
sad faces.
We do not think that, even i'm the
sacred pulpit, man should be always
solemn. Cheerful words are good even
there--and laugh sometimes in the
church of God may be inspiring and
beneficial.

A Lively Well.

Mr.. Joseph Hahn, who lives near
Marine City, Michigan, had got down
about one hundred and twenty feet with
his artesian we'll, when he struck geyser.
In the twinking of an eye, upon the re-
moval of the anger, the wooden tubing
shot out Of the well like stone driven
from catapult, followed by volume
of gas, water, gravel and mud, that rose
full two hundred feet into the air, while
the trembling earth, the roaring torrent,
and the descending debris made Mr..
Hahn and his co-laborers think they had
struck the regions internal. Stones
weighing from ten to twenty pounds
were projected into the air, and some OF
them fell crashing through the roof of
Mr.. Hahn's house near by; in fact, the
family were obliged to seek shelter in a
neighbor's, for human life was not safe
for moment in the farm house. in the
neighborhood of Mr.. Hahn's farm, a
stone, large or small, was rarely found,
but now they can be taken away by the
car load. -,
