We have communication from Brun-
son, FROM "White Man" which the writer
requestssus to publish 1t is a rule of
newspapers to always require the name
OF correspondents, and especially when
ever the articles are at all personal, and
the rule is almost as invuriable to pav no
attention to ananymous letters. The
complaint of "White Man" is that COM
munlcation in recent number sof the
TRIBUNE was too hearty an endorsement
of the administration of Governor Cham
berlain. The article referred to was
written by a lifelong Republican who
has perfect right to support a good
Governor, especially as Mr. Chamberla in
is the first one since reconstruction that
has shown desire to purify the party.
and if "White Man" was denied the same
free expression of his opinin he would
be in worse frame of mind than he now
seems to be-

Three Day, Sport in samoa.

The recent abortive attempt of Colo
mel Steinberger to establish over the
Samoan Islands an American protecto-
rate, has attracted much attention 70 this
charming group, of which so little has
been known.
Mr.. W. T. Pritchard, for many years
British Consul at Samoa, has written a
very interesting account of his expert
ences, and from thence we take the fol-
lowing amusing description of hunt
in the Island Of Upolu:
There is not much variety for the
sportsman in Samoa, the only animal
which gives any real excitement in the
chase being the wild boar. Herds OF
wild pigs are found all through the
bush; the natives frequently organize
hunting parties, more for the sake Of
the meat-though dreadfully tough il
is at best-than for the sport.
Occasionally joining these parties,
have witnessed and shared in some
rather hard fights with the thick, tough.
skinned boars, which always stand al
bay with the dogs, while the sows and
their litters make of. The first regular
hunt 1 had was with the chief, Tui-o-le-
Manga, accompanied by twenty-five Of
his young men, and ten dogs trained to
pig hunting. Each man carried long
knife and a tomahawk, and few had
spears as well; the chief had his musket,
and I my rifle. At four o'clock in the
morning we started from Magia, little
village belonging to myself, and, after
a three-hours' walk through tangled
bushes, across marshes, and up the slip
perry sides of the mountain, we reached
the summit of Tafua Upolu, the loftiest
peak of that part of the island. Select
ing a spot for our rendezvous, in case
of becoming separated, three of the
party were detailed to build hut, shoot
pigeons, gather wild breadfruit, dig
wild yams, climb for cocoanuts, and
have everything ready for our return in
the evening. The rest were divided into
two parties, one led by the chief, the
other led by me.

The Centennial Exhibition at Night.

As has been announced, the principal
editices on the Centennial grounds will
be closed at six o'clock in the evening:
but thousands of promenaders who will
have, in the course of two or three weeks
visiting, wearied of the displays of ma
chinery, pictures and curiosities from
every cline, will throng to the park in
the cool dusk, and will patronize the
concerts and the restaurants, and will
stroll in the leafy avenues. 1t will be
difficult to find. in the whole country in
the months of June and July, any place
of resort more absolutely lonely than
this section of Paramount Park will be
when the exhibition is at the height of
its glory. In the various State build
ings receptions, balls and quiet parties
will frequently be given; the foreign
Commissioners will hold levees in their
handsome quarters, and elegant crowds
Will gather on the balconies [of the
American Restaurant" which spreads
its rambling halls over a large territory
in beautiful shaded nook. These bal
comics are vast, and will be a refuge
to the weary during the heat of the days.
There will be exhibitions of electric
lights, which will illuminate the statues
the fountains, the stately dome of Me-
mortal Hall, and the graceful arches of
the mammoth Conservatory. Both with
in the exhibition enclosure, and lust out
side of it, there will be numerous excel
lent concerts. A huge theatre is in pro-
cess of construction on the main avenue
leading to the grounds. 1t is not too
much to say that if attractions continue
to multiply as they have latterly multi
piled, evening at the Centennial will be
far more interesting to the masses than
the day. 1t is pity that requisite or
chestra, Bilse's of Berlin, whose coming
was at one time mentioned as certain,
can not be induced to locate here for the
Summer. But a Prussian military band
is promised-and what with Offenbach
and the Germans, and Thomas, and some
of the excellent orchestras from neigh
boring cities we shall have no lack of
music. In the long Summer afternoons
excursions on the Schuylkill, on the ro-
mantle Wissahickon, and to Belmont
Mansion can be organized whenever eyes
and ears are weary of miles of pictures
and statuary, or of the thunderous re-
frain of acres of machinery in motion.

SrAMAdERING. = A gentleman who
stammered from childhood almost up to
manhood, gives a very simple remedy
for the misfortune. go into a room
where you will be quiet and alone, get
some book that will interest but not ex-
cite you, and sit down and read two
hours aloud to yourself, keeping your
teeth together. Do the same thing ev-

very tiresome, always taking care to
read slowly and distinctly, moving the
lips but not the teeth. Then, when
conversing with others, try to speak as
slowly and distinctly as possible, and
make up your mind that you will not
stammer. Well, tried this remedy,
not having much faith in it, 1 must
confess, but willing to do almost any
thing to cure myself of such an annoy
ing difficulty. I read for two hours
aloud with my teeth together. The first
result was to make my tongue and jaws
ache, that is, while was reading; and
the next to make me feel as if some
thing had loosened my talking appa-

A GERMAN author states that the num-
ber of useful plants has risen to about
Il, 900, but that others will no doubt be
discovered, as the researches yet made
have been completed only in portions OF
the earth. OF these plants there are
1850 varieties of edible fruits, berries
and seeds; 103 cereals; 81 onions; 46O
vegetables and salads 40 species of
palms; 81 varieties of arrowroot, and 81
different kinds Of sugar. Various drinks
are obtained from 200 plants, and aro-
matics from 266. There are fifty sub
stitutes for coffee, and 129 tea. Tauhin
is present in 140 plants, caoutchouc in
Sc, gutta percha in 9, rosin and balsamic
gums in 1893, wax in 10, and grease and
essential oils in $50; SS plants contain
potash, soda and iodine; $50 contain
dyes, AZ soap; $50 contain weaving
fbers; A fibers used in paper making;
48 give roofing materials, and 100 are
employed for hurdles and copses. In
building, TAO plants are used, and there
are 615 known poisonous plants. One
of the most gratifying developments is,
that out Of 278 known natural families
of plants, there are but IS species for
which no use has yet been discovered.

RICHMOND. TEXAS, June 16, 1876.
Editors Democratic Statesman = In late
issue of your paper was pleased TO see the
name of George Quinan figure as a candi-
date for Congress from the Fifth Congress
sional District. l know that such mention,
subsequently, made, too, in other papers,
was without his knowledge or desire, and,
knowing this, am the more ready TO look
upon this gentleman as q most proper one
to become = candidate Of the Democracy of
this district. George Quinan has no supe-
rior IN intellect in the State of Texas. He
is one of its ablest lawyers, thoroughly
versed in constitutional law, and learned IN
every branch of his profession. He has al
ways been a true Democrat, and his love
for Texas and tue South, and his true pa
triotism, fit HIM eminently for q seat in
Congress. He is brilliant as an orator, aud
his power of logic is unequaled, while there
Is warmth of feeling, incident to the Irish
blood flowing through his veins, which
makes him particularly attractive. He has
lived in Texas for over quarter II cen-
tury, and while the Democrats of this por-
ton of the State had the power to elect
was the recipient of honors at their hands.
Firm as the needle to the pole, he has re-
manned at his old home in Wharton county,
laboring with zeal in an effort to retrieve
the changed political character OF his sec
| ton, which all know too well. How lifting
would it be, he known to be not seeking
the honor, to remember this devoted Demo-
crat and patriot, even at this late day. The
white people of his immediate section are
represented nowhere, neither in the States
| legislative halls nor in the courts of the
country, and now we ask the Democratic
voters of the Fifth Congressional District

1t having been suggested that there might
be some embarrassment in reference to the
recent election OF Senator, should the Leg
islature determine that the present Is not
the regular biennial session, and that reg
ular session may legally be held in 1877, we
append an extract from the act of Congress
on the subject. 1t will be seen that the
election of Senator was regularly made at
the present session, whatever action may
be had as to a session next year. Extract
from the act of Congress of July %, 1876 {:
