The PhiiadelphR Times, commenting
upon the CELEBRITY with which the PEG,
pie of the northwest betock themselves
to fasting and praying, because of the
grasshOpper visitation, pertinently
says:
It would be better, however, If the
people wCnld make some effort to find
out and to respect the laws which,
whether we cali them laws of God or
laws of nature, do not rule and govern
on this earth, before habitual contempt
for them has brought disaster. We cut
down ali the tIeeF In the land, then,
when we are consequently scourged
with alternate drouth and food, we
think we are doing a rather commend
able thing if we ask Providence to in
terpose in our behalf. We build finder
box houses and rotten reservoirs, and
when they burn down or ourst, as they
must, and we find ourselves destitute,
We piously consent to appoint q day of
prayer. We have killed off all the
wild fowls from the western prairies,
the most effective enemy that nature
provided for grasshoppers and potato
bugs, and when the insects increase,
and we find we cannot do what the
birds did, we begin to talk of the nays-
teriOus dispensagion Of Providence, or
of natures inscrutable ways. Let us
go down on our bne=s. by all means I;
we have sins enough and follies enough
to repent. But let us not suppose that
the stupid carelessness which has char
acterized every step of civilization on
this magnificent continent can fail to
bring its punishment.

testing chain broke off in two places
when the strain reached one hundred

chain had some openings in one Of the
links which had been imperfectly
brazed, but it did not appear to have
been made otherwise defective. One

COULDN'T BE BLUFFED. "A couple OF

other day from the interior, overlook an
old man and his wife seated In the bot

A DUTCH Cow-SrABLE.-A writer in
Scribner's thus describes a Dutch COW
stable: After looking over the farm we
we're taken towards The house, and en-
tered large door leading into an enor-
nous room, the like of which we had
never seen. The walls were neatly
whitewashed. The little windows we're
hung with white curtains. Along each
wall was a strip of clean brick work and
next to this a whitewashed gutter, then
came for width of about six feet, floor
ingof handsome old Dutch tiles, well laid
then two rows of upright posts, the u q
of which was not at all obvious.
Between these rows of posts was a wide
passage way leading the whole length
of the hall. There were several tables
on which were bright utensils and some
handsome articles of pottery. We con-
graduated ourselves on seeing the
largest and eleanest dairy we had ever
met with, but on q second look the ab-
senee Of milk and of the evidence of
daily use led us to inquire, and we
found 20 our surprise that We were in
the constable, which had been put In
order for the summer. Except for the
stanchi, ms and tying poles, and the gut
ter behind the stalls, there was nothing
to indicate the use intended.

thing TO waste SO the Hon. and Rev.

has emigrated with his family and effects

THE New OPERA HoUsE.-It is highly
probable that in few days the people of
Austin win have the satisfaction of seeing
work commenced on new opera house,
modern in design and with the best of ac-
commodations. The company has been
formed and q charter secured. The follow
ing gentlemen comprise the company: E.
BremOnd, James H. Raymond, Flave Ev-
eTett, Capt. Mather, Abner H. Cook, jr.,
John II. Robinson, Seth 1Iabry, E. saund-
ers, A. S. Roberts, Sheriff Zimpelman,
Joseph sherwin, A. P. Woodbridge, A. w.
Terrell and W. NJ. Walton. We under
stand that the company have not yet pur-
chased site for the location Of the build
cling, but that four pieces of property have
been spoken Of as suitable-Dr. Litten's
corner, opposite the STATESMAN Office;
DR.. Taylor's corner, one block down the
Avenue; Col. Cooks hotel corner, and the
Peck corner, on Pecan street. II real estate
owners on the Avenue or Pecan street
hold their property too high, it is possible
tho building may be located half block
either east or west Of the Avenue, some
where above Pecan street. The main point
to be gained is to get central, slightly and
convenient location with the advantages Of
good breeze.

SoFT-soAPED.-Last Thursday we were
completely and everlastngly soft-soaped
by Sheriff Raby, of Coryell county, in re-
gard to the arrest of gang of counter
feiters by him, Of which we gave a lengthy
and glowing account. Raby came to the
STATESMAN Office and told his story, and
we believed it. But United States Marshal
Purnell, seeing the statement, called and
gave us an entirely different view of the
case, which is no doubt the correct one.
Marshal Purnell says that George B. Hol-
land, United States Deputy Marshal, fol
lowed the counterfeiters from Denison to
Gainesville, and there arrested one and
turned him over to Sheriff Raby, and called
on him for aid to enable him to arrest the
other three, who were travelling in the
wagon Raby, thinking there were heavy
rewards offered for the men, went out with
posse and arrested them himself, and re-
fused to deliver them over to Holland, on
whom he drew pistol and threatened his
life. Raby then followed two men
to this city and arrested them, one
of whom, the Marshal says, told
Raby, in his Office, that he (Raby) had
offered to turn him loose if he would pay
for his liberty, Raby replying that he had
jolSingly made the remark. The only truth
in regard to this counterfeiting business, so
far as published, is that gang of counter
feiters did come into the State, and all the
credit due for arrests already made belongs
to United States Marshal Holland. It is
probable the men arrested in this city by
Raby were guilty. Marshal Purnell has re-
ceived several dispatches from Waco which
bear us out, with other things, in making
the above statement.
