pillow handles.
SENATOR n. $. CRAvENs, of the
Grayson district, died ut his residence
in WhitcsbOro, on the 2Gth ultimo, oI
pulmonary consumption.
VERSAILLES, Ohio, has furnished foul
more coal oil angels, to the long list %
innocents, who have been tampcrinl
with cans of that dangerous illumina
tor.
ONE of the most painful evidences o
the depression and poverty in New
Orleans is the almost daily case of sui
eide chronicled by the press of that
unhappy city.
No better evidence of the extent 0
the want of confidence in financial cir
clrs could be given than the fact that
the Western Union Telegraph compa'
ny recently failed to effect n loan in
New York.
TIE business men of New Orleans
are moving in earnest in the matter OF
railway communication with Texas.
Dallas should take steps to place her
advantages rs the terminus of the road
properly before them mt once.
lT is limited in st. Louis that the
Times and Republican are about to fol-
low tie example Of the Globe and Dem
ocrat by consolidating. The Times will
make very pretty bride, but it will be
clear case of January and May.
T.. J. DAVIS, who is as "mild n man
ncrcd man rs ever cut n throat or scut-
tied ship,n draws it exceedingly
mild in his last pronunciamento to the
faithful. AS a piece of humility and
conservative CANNON it is worthy of
hUriah llecp."
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, the Lee cs-
tate, wherein the bodies of seventeen
thousand federal soldiers lie buried, is
not the property of the government,
which should take steps to acquire it
by purchase from its owner, General
q. w. G. Lee.
GENERAL SlIERMAN'S egotistical
"Memoirs," in which he glorilies him
self ut the expense of others, has stir
red up II lively newspaper war between
him and the followers of Grant. The
warriors are filling the air with the din
of their Indignation.
How TIE grangers, who are as much
interested in having honest and capa-
bic men in office us the rest of us, are
TO "let politics alone" with IMMUNITY,
is quite inscrutable, except to the poll
ticians most interested in keeping
farmers from the polls.
THAT "one cent" damages awarded
J. w. Mitchell, by n st. Louis jury, as
n balm for his wounded honor, he hav-
ing been called n "shyster" by the Re
publican, sticks in the throat of the
Republican worse than Macbeth's
amen. One cent is considered by that
paper as an enormous verdict.
GRANT does not want third term,
of course, but then you see it may be
his painful duty to accept it, to prevent
the country falling into the hands of
the diabolical banditti democracy. He
is, therefore, ready to once more i'm
molate himself for the good of the ma
ton ut the rate of fifty thousand year.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Richmond
Na.l Wing, writing from Nachtoches,
La, s;veS n doleful account of hi s
experience in Texas. He seems to
have escaped by The skin of his teeth,
but he ought not to complain, since he
was more lucky than most of his sort,
who generally die in their boots at the
end of u larriat.

Several preadamitc fossils will be
ground to powder, and swept into the

TIE grasshopper is burthen i'm Mis-
souri,, and the governor has issued n
proclamation fixing day of fasting
and prayer. This is source of much |
sacriligious sneering on the part of the
and Chicago press, these two
cities being engaged, just now, in the
of ignoring the Almighty |
altogether in secular affairs.
IT seems from dispatch to the Hous-
on Telegraph, that Fortson, who was
the other day by Sheriff
King, did not approve of the plan to
rescue him. He is said to have de-
lounced il as untrue. The law should
make such an example of the rescuers

IN view of a heavy immigration to this
