ORIGIN of the Word Texas.

Several explanations of the origin of the
word Texas have been advanced. They are
all, however, either whimsical or vague. One
explanation is, that the term texas, mean
ing friends" was applied by certain friend
ly-disposed Indians of the region between
the Red river and the Rio Grande to the
followers of an early Spanish explorer,
AlonzO de Leon, when they visited their
country. Another theory derives the word
from the Spanish teja la roof-tile), the plural
of which is tejas, referring to the manner in
which the dwellings of the Texas Indians
were covered. Still third explanation
finds its origin in the name of q email tribe
OF Indians who dwelt in the eastern part Of
the region.
The first two explanations may be re-
jected as too fancitul, however ingenious
they be; the last superstition, although
somewhat vague, approaches near the
truth, for if Bellin's map is to be relied
On-and it would be rash to doubt it's au.
be simply the English corrupted form Of
Teijas, village, evidently named by the
Spsniards, which may be found either
on Bellin's map Or on Bowen's repro
duction of it. It was situated on the
eastern bank of the Trinity river, and it's
site is probably somewhere bowen the
present town of Crockett, IN Houston
county, and that river. The combination Of
the letters in Teijas shows it's Spanish and
not Indian origin; and its Spanish pronun.

measure by the English Tay khais-the j
sounded like cultural h-justifies the lat
ter pronunciation of Texas, which was
given it by the French in Louisiana and
their successors, the early settlers of the
lower Mississippi valley. Indeed, it is not
improbable that the Alonzo de Leon above
mentioned was the founder of Teijas, for
the county adjoining Houston county is
named Leon, with Leon e its county seat.
This, it il true. may be only coincidence.

Cure for Drunlksnness.

According to an article in tho British
Medical journal, it has been found by DR..
Renger that the tincture Of capsicum in ten
drop doses il the best remedy to counteract
that craving for alcohol which is the curse
of all luebristes. preventing their return to
rational conduct. This remedy has been
tested by other physicians, and they report
very favorably in regard to it. They give
several instances of men of various ages
who, half muddled, hung around low drink
ing saloons, or at home, when the liquor
was shut up, would pick the lock, or when
money was taken frem them, would tipple
on credit, whenever they had chance. The
best way to administer this remedy is to
commence with five drops in little syrup
of orange peel before meals, increasing the
dose of capeicum tincture to twelve drops.
In one month most of them became quite
other men, changing from half-idiots to
men who attended to their business. and
took an interest in all that was going on in
the world, which they before, being con-
firmed drunkards, did not, according to the
habits of the latter class of unfortunates.

What Pardoned Convict Knows.
A Washington letter of the twelfth in
slant. to the New York herald. SAWS:

A Washington lettei of the twelfth in
slant, to the New York Herald, says:
An important witness was before the
grand Jury here to-day, whose revelations
concerning the safe burglary are said to be
even less astounding than what he knows
of the corrupt use Of money in high
places. This witness is Hope H. Slater,
convicted q few years ago In the local
courts, of manslaughter, and sentenced
to the Albany Penitentiary, whence he
has just been pardoned that he might
give valid testimony in the safe
burglary trials to come of in the fall,
quest of the latter's counsel, Mr.. w. A.
Cook, been fixed for the eighteenth of Sep.
TENDER. Slater was wanted. not alone for
the light he could throw upon this famous
conspiracy. At the time of his conviction
for granddaughter he was b00k-keeper
of the firm Of Taylor & Filbert, who laid
nearly all the concrete pavement Of Wash
ington. In the winding up Of the accounts
of the firm the sum of $6O, 900 was charged
nation, and Taylor sued Filbert for set
Element of the amount thus unaccounted
for. No explanations, however, could be
had except through the book-keeper Stat
ter, and the b0okkeeper being con-
vict could not be Q witness. But his
pardon to allow of his testimony about
the safe burglary makes him also compe-
tent witness in the Taylor vs. Filbert case,
and it is expected that in the course of his
examination by the grand jury, which is
now in progress, he will testify that to in
fluence paying contracts he paid very
distinguished Northern Senator $500, .
Pennsylvanis ex-Csngressman $500, and
two we'll known Republican editors
each $500. He said before he went into
the iury room that he should testify to
these facts. But it remains to be seen
whether, under the solemnity Of an oath
and with the consequences Of false state
ment before him, he will persevere in bis
charges. The proceedings OF the grand
Jury are kept inviolably secret for the time
being, go that it may be some days before
the public will be given the details Of the
scandal
