A BURGLARS CHANCES FOR REGULAR EN-
PLOYMENr.-On the night Of the thirteenth
ultimo, young man residing in house at
the corner of Robin and Magazine streets,
was made aware that an intruder was rum
maging around in the room and for no good
purpose. Mr.. Terril, when fully aroused
from sleep, discovered an ugly looking man
in his room, and at once prepared to cap
cure him. He grappled with the fellow and
both somehow got out on front gallery.
During the contest the burglars pistol
dropped into the yard and exploded. The
report notified the gentleman's father that
something was wrong, and he FASTENED to
his sons rescue. The son told the tibet
that he would give him three notifications
to surrender and if that did not prevail he
would surely kill him. The scoundrel find
ing that he was almost certain to be
worstad, surrendered, but could scarcely
utter a word as hs mouth was full of jew
elry, which he had stolen. When taken to
the police station he said his name was
Lawrence Williams, which probably was
the first truth he had uttered in long
time. Several years ago he served term
in our Penitentiary, and now he has an
excellent opportunity to 60 again. He was
Yesterday examined BY Judge Evans and
committed TO the SuperiOr Criminal Court
for trial without bail.

OUR DLsTING ULSHED VISITOR,

Lieut.. Governor Norman j. Cole
man, of Missouri, arrived last night,
and it is with feelings of peculiar
gratification that we extend TO him
warm personal and professional
welcome, on our own behalf, and
in the name of the citizens generally
o. well as the farmers and Grangers.
Gov. Coleman is an eminent farmer,
one of the successful kind, pro-
gressive man, and one Of the first
and most eminent of the Patrons of
Husbandry of our sister State, and
the editor and proprietor of Cole.
mans Rural World, the official pa
per of the Order in Missouri.
We receive him among us as a
long cherished friend, and not as a
stranger. Every citizen of Waco,
and every farmer in all this region
who shall be present, will join MS in
extending an old-fashioned Texan
welcome.
Let us send Gov. Coleman back
TO Missouri with nothing but good
TO say of Texans and Texas. The
EXAMINER tenders its best profes-
sional courtesies, with the invitation

AGor1nandising Contest.

Friday night at the restaurant O.
A. Hersey, in Monroe, two mel
named John Conlisk and Georg,
Reed, made a wager as to their rel
ative power of endurance with {
given number of oysters, that the
one who should give in first, should
pay for the oysters consumed, and
the biyalvular struggle commenced.
In the course of an hour the contents
Of ten cans had disappeared, and
neither party showing any symp-
toms Of failing appetite, and
only one more can remain
ing in the restaurant, il was propos-
ed to call it draw game and divide
the eleventh can equally, which
was done, each contestant paying
half the damage, The number of
raw oysters eaten was something
over fifty dozen, which together
with the accompanying crackers
and other edibles, may be consider
ed rather a substantial meal One Of
the two men remarked that though
he wasn't actually hungry for more
be could If invited, get away with
another can or two.

Now that an abundant harvest
has nearly been successfully com
pleted, the debts of the farmers dis
charged, and other necessary pro
visions have been made for the sue
oessful conduct of the farm for an
other season, we suggest that a few
dollats be laid out in books, those
trearing subjects collateral to the
business of planting, and papers
which are standard authorities upor
agriculture. The good effects ol
the Grange among the farmers of
Texas is nowhere more clearly seer
than in the increase of intelligent eff
fort among the farmers, superindu-
ced by the general diffusion among
them of papers and books
written and published with the ex
press purpose of enlightening them
A few years more at this rate ant
the planters of Texas will be no Ion
ger at the mercy of the sharp opera
tors in cotton, sugar and grain.

The Statesman in its leviathan-
like struggles to ripple the "dead
sea of journalistic inanity," sput-
ters, plunges and blows, but only
causes others to smile at its awk-
ward efforts to escape the odium of
its last wild escapade on the sea of
sensationalism. The Statesman has
for the last year run very enter
tanning side-show for Texas politics,
and furnishes us, in common with
others of its attentive readers, a
world of amusement. But as to
solid influence, legitimate progress
or real usefulness, we can see no
trace of either, in the triumph of a
single measure for which it has con
tended. A little ''inanity" might
be worked into its cargo to the ad
vantage of its ''trim," or at least its
port would not be league farther
of by it. Try it, Brother States
man.

Texas News and Opinions.

The editor Of the San Antonio Her
aid has seen beautiful specimen Of
Texan marble, IN the shape Of paper
weight. One cannot help regretting
that the 'beautiful specimen" is NOT
planted at the head Of his early grave,
where its ghastly whiteness together
with the signing of the willows, would
be effective IN doing away with some

his yillainous M. Quadish sort of wit.

We never knew before that ii was
possible for single paper to cram as
much dullness into its columns MS the
Austin Evening News manages to get
into its. Logan can do better, and he
must set about it soon.
Texan papers are giving publicity to
an imposter's claim, that he is General
Wheeler of Confederate fame, some.
where up in Ohio or Indiana. Now,
he gives his name as Gen. w. II.
Wheeler. Gen. Wheeler of Confeder-
ate fame was simply 'Jos" Wheeler,
and the canard ought never to have
been published at the South to the dis.
credit Of brave officer, who never
was an inebriate.

financial question as far as Ohio is con-

COUNTY OR DISTRICT FAIRS.

1t has been only a few years since
we in the South have considered it
worth our while to encourage by
this potent means, that proper emu
lation and friendly rivalry among
the farmers which the county or
district fairs invariably produce.
But with our ten or a dozen years
experience with the enterprise, Tex
as is prepared to give tolerably in
telligent verdict upon their effect
iveness, and no intelligent observer
but knows beforehand what that
verdict will be.
1t is true that our exhibitions in
this way must appear meagre and
tame to visitors from the North,
where the system has prevailed for
a half century, but to us, who know
what the conditions were q dozen
of years since, the result is indeed
most gratifyingly promising. In
nothing is this improvement more
clearly observable than in the mat
ter of improved stock, save, perhaps,
the greatly improved implements of
husbandry. If so much has been
achieved in so short a time, what
may we not promise ourselves after
we have given half century's ef-
fort to this cause. Let every friend
OF true progress III Texas strive, with
all his energy to encourage these
annual exhibitions of our grow
ing skill in agriculture and me-
chanism.
