DALLAs. TEXAS.
BUILDING STOVE.

At this time when the erection OF
several costly and handsome buildings
Is contemplated IN Dallas, II may not
be inappropriate TO direct the atten-
ton OF our architects and business
mon TO the very superior class of build
Ing stone to be found justone mile and
three-quarters west Of Dallas on the
property owned, we are Informed, by
Captain James w. Kidd. This sand
stone is extremely hard, lose'grained
and quartoze, and seems TO lie In those
broad, thick sheets 80 convenient for
quarryiDg. The general color IL u yell
lowish brown, yarlously shaded In the
different layers. This stone outcrops
on the Southwest side of some sixty
acres OF land, and evidently underlles
the entire tract, since II outcrops on
the North side, and 10 found by dig
ging Immediately In the center Of the
tract between the two outcroppings.
There seems to be no foreign inter
mixture, such AZ iron pyrites and
carbonate OF lime, which, by
reason OF atmospheric Influences,
may cause the rock to scale
off in course of time. A stone combin-
Ing both iron pyrites and carbon
ate of lime (Which ingredients so gem
orally prevail In the stone ofthe wheat
region of Texas is peculiarly subject
to destruction from the sulphuric acid
generated in the decomposition of the
pyrites which attacks the carbonate
and removing this from the stone,
causes eventually crumbling and
scaling. Experienced builders inform
US that this sandstone is very similar
to that SO extensively quarried at Caen,
In France, and in the Connecticut
river valley, and very closely allied to
that shipped to New York City and
known us the Dorchester and Albert
stone. This bed of stone lies some
eighty feet above Dallas and can be
readily run into the city upon tram
ways, which can be constructed In
such manner that the loaded car
coming on the down grade to the city
will pull the empty car back to the
quarry. AS these quarries bid fair to
be Of great Importance to the city, we
will take occasion to make further
mention of them. Samples ofthe stone
can be seen AT The HERALD's count
ing room.

TIE suggestion of the Commissioners
of the General Land Office that he lie
authorized to appoint surveyors for the
unorganized counties and districts is u
good one, and should receive attention
at the hands of the Legislature. There
is no question but that the business Of
that bureau is retarded and its ex-
pense increased by reason of the
bungling and blotched work of incom-
petent and ignorant surveyors.

DIAMOND Cur DIAMoND.-Truly, the
ways of tine sharper of to-day are past
finding out. Sometimes even they
meet their match, however. Some lit
tie time ago person was sent to a
bank for the purpose of drawing mon
ey to pay the wages of hands in a
mandatory. Two men stood near
the place where he was counting the
amount he had received, some eigh-
teen hundred dollars. One of the men
remarked to him, you've dropped a
one dollar note, sir, pointing; to q
greenback of that denomination on the
floor. "All right, sir" was the reply.
III just put my foot on it for the
present" which he did, and continued
counting his money. 1t was not un-
til the sharpers learned that thew
were playing their game on an expe-
rlenced customer, that they informed
him that the one dollar note was
dropped by one Of them. Any thought
less person would have stopped for
the note, and, in all probability, have
lost the eighteen hundred dollars.

AN exchange very truthfully says:
people reason that newspaper sub
scription is but a small amount, and
the publishers can not be greatly
Inconvenience for the want of mere
trifle. They forget that there are hun
dreds of subscribers who reason in
the same way. Consequently, while
the neglect of one or two to remit
would be of no great damage to the
publisher, yet the failure of a hundred
to do so is simply disastrous to him,
for his weekly payments are large
and must be met. His source of sup
plies being these rivulets, when they
dry up, he must close his Office. He
cannot afford to wait for better time.
You see how important it is to pay

INHERITED ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has
noticed that nearly all the members
of some families die aged, while those
of others are gone before what would
be called the middle age of the form
er. 1t is common and correct re-
mark that some are as old at forty as
others are at sixty; the latter will, in
fact, be more likely to live twenty
years than the former. The years a
person has lived is by no means the
most important element for Judging
how many he may probably live, nor
is present health of much more conse-
quence, since it is often the case that
families are very vigorous and heal
thy while they live, yet are not long,
lived. They inherit healty but short
lives.
Notice the Laplanders. Observe
the citizens of Zurich, Switzerland,
very healthy, but seldom reaching the
age Of sixty; while members of one
Italian family living in their midst
slice the sixteenth century, reached
the age of eighty or ninety. The
Welsh are the longest-lived people in
Europe. The Scotch are longer lived
than the English. and the Irish short
er lived, yet they are all healty as a
people.
On the other hand, some who do
not have robust health are noted to
live long. 1t is said that they attain
old age because they take such ex-
cellent care of themselves. Yet.
though it is not denied that the care
is useful, it will be usually found that
they had at least one long-lived par
ent, and thus inherited longevity from
one side, if not from both; for, though
It is often the case that those die
young who have long-lived ancestry,
It is very seldom that any person lives
Q be year or two older than any of
ais ancestors parents, grandparents,

WE confess to grave apprehenslons

WE confess to grave apprenenSlons
about the safety Of General Crook ane
Ibis little command, now practically
besieged in the heart Of the hostile
Sioux country. That the savagef
very largely outnumber him there can
be no question, and it is probable that
lshonld the several columns moving
against the Indians be successfully
united, the forces of Crook would DC
confronted by double their number OF
| the most skillful warriors of all our In
dian tribes. The Sioux are the best
Indians physically we have on the con.
tinent, and they are capable of a meas
ure of endurance in severe cam
paign that soldiers know nothing OF.
They surpass our troops both in the
quality of their horses and in horse
manship; they have better arms and
can use them more skillfully; they
thoroughly understand the country
and are most accomplished strategists
in their peculiar mode of warfare.
They may wait for Crooks advance
and then deliberately give battle, but
it will be marvel if they should do
so. If they are strong as the most re-
liable information makes them, and
they want to close the war speedily,
they will either attack Crook or COM
pletely besiege him and cut up his re-
endorsements as they come; and il
they are weaker than we have reason
to apprehend, or for any reason desire
to prolong the war, they will retreat
as Crook advances and wait more
favorable opportunity for battle. Ger
tainly the Indians have gained largely
by the necessary delay that followed
the Custer massacre, and the complete
success of that butchery has doubt
less drawn several thousand young
warriors from professcdly friendly
tribes to join the fortunes of Sitting
Bull. We cannot but believe that the
for the Indian war by
he government are entirely made
luate, and that the peace of the
Northwest, the safety of settlers and
he success of our troops have been
earthly periled by tie failure of Gen.
rails Sherman and Sheridan to appre-
late the magnitude of the conflict

KILLED By A RATTLEsNAKE.
poRrAGE. Pa, July 26tI.


On Monday morning last Sarah
Goodloe, daughter Of q prominent res
ident Of this place, and twolittle girls,
named Jennie Wagner and Laurie
Webb, went out ii Wyckof Noun
tains to pick huckleberries, About
ten o'clock the Webb girl returned
crying to the village, and said that
Goodloe had been bitten by rattle
snake and was sick in the woods
about mile away. The young lady's
father accompanied by a couple OF
friends and DR.. Crane, fastened to the
spot, guided by the girl. On reach
ing it fearful sight presented itself.
Miss Goodloe lay in commissions on
her back and was swollen to an enor-
nous size. DIR. Crane at once tore
her clothing loose and revealed the
fact that the flesh was fast becoming
black. She was unconscious and was
at once pronounced beyond all human
aid. The snake had sunk his fangs
deep into the calf of her leg i'll two
places, and one of the fangs was found
hanging to her stocking. The doctor
such remedies as are
used in such cases, but the unfortu-
nate young woman died in few min
utes after the arrival of her father and
party. Her limbs swelled SO that the
one bitten by the snake burst the skin.
She died in the most intense agony.
The circumstances attending the
case are related by the little girl as
follows: They were picking berries
near the top of the ridge, and had
their pals nearly filled. Suddenly
Miss Goodloe gave loud scream,
and dropping her pail, ran wildly out
IF the bushes toward a plot of grass
near by, shouting, any God, my God,
. rattlesnake has bitten mep She
brew herself on the grass and COM
rolling and shrieking. The
title Webb girl ran toward her and
Jaw a portion of the snake, which
seemed to be still attacking Miss
5oodloe. About half of the snake,
rom the rates up, was exposed, and
was sounding the latter in a man
Ter denoting the greatest rage. The
title girl, with singular bravery,
eized the reptile by the tail, and
erked it loose from Miss Goodloe and
Tiled it with a club before it got
way. She then told the young lady
hey had better start for home at once,
nd they hurried homeward, the two
title girls assisting Miss Goodloe,
'ho continued to grow i'll from the eff
,cts of the bite, and finally dropped
4 commissions at the spot where the
Webb girl left her and hurried on for
id.

LETTER FROM owYHEE.


| Ed. WoRLD.- The prospects Of this
lplace may be regarded as little
brighter than heretofore The great
! want of the camp is about to be sup
piled by the erection Of quartz mill
Messrs. Jones & Adams have com
lpleted their arrangements for its erec-
ton, and teams will commence hauling
it from Sinker Greek, its present loca-
ton, day after tomorrow. AS | have
said before all we need to insure a
good camp is facilities for reducing
the ores, aid now by the first of Oc-
tober we will have an opportunity to
prove the correctness of this asser-
ton. There are but few men left in
the camp, but that few have stayed
qualities, and may be regarded as the
nucleus around which will gather
enough of muscle and brain to bring
to the front the natural resources of a
rich mining district.
All our lodges, so far as prospected,
show an increase in size as they attain
depth, and show rich enough in min
eral to insure good returns to the
workers thereof.
The camp received a severe back
set from an Incorporated company
called the Maggie Silver Mining
Company" which commenced opera
tions here with capital of about 5000,
which was subsequently added to to
the extent of few hundred dollars
more and when that was exhausted
resorted to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on
the company in San Francisco, which
in due time were protested and re-
turned. The company, or some one
for it, claims that nine thousand dol
lars have been expended, seven thou
sand Of which has been paid If this
is true it would be interesting to know
for what the expenditure was made.
4 hole in the ground one hundred feet
deep and buildings to the value of six
DR. eight hundred dollars are all | can
see. All this should not cost to ex-
coed three thousand dollars, and their
is almost that much now,
and it may exceed that amount. Such
entered into as the start
ng lever of new camp presents SO
,onspicuously the claws of the wild
,at" that it is not surprising that it
should for while stagger under the
low inflicted. Our town was named
n honor of the Secretary of the Com {
ANY, but most Of those who had a {
and in christening it are ashamed of ,
t and would like to have it changed;
o if my next should be dated from
'pikesviIle or Hardscrabble don't be
but remember it's "the same
Id place"
am glad to see the favorable ac- }
cunts from your part of the country,
nd hope that Owyhee will in the near
nture take her legitimate stand among
he mining districts of the Gem of the
fountains.
Your G. B. Baldwin is a lucky man,
nd for once, at least, good fortune has !,
allen upon worthy shoulders. He
lust be the original Lucky Baldwin"
hat his luck may continue and his
ribe increase is the wish of t
Yours, t:uly, OwYHEE. v

In Portland, Oregon, brute was
lately fined $50 for beating his wife.
The cause Of the outrage was that he
tried to force her into prostitution so
that he would not be obliged to soil
his delicate hands by labor. All such
low-principled men ought to pull a
hang-man's rope.
