REoPENED. Vim. Gundlach, the
enterprising boot and shoe merchant,
has just reopened In his old we'll
known stand, No. 2S South c etreet,
with an entire new and fashionable
stock of boots, shoes, CATERS, over
shoes, and every mentionable article
used to protect the pedal extremities
except socks. Remember when
your feet are cold or boots worn,
that the Philadelphia Boot and Shoe
Store is the best place to have them
protected and reconstructed.

A SAD BERAsvEMEnT.-We men
toned in our issue of January LIST the
blowipg,pp Of Johnny Landcrs, night
iqreman.of the Cosmopolitan Mine.
sny the premature explosion Of IA giant
powder cartridge. AT that time, al
though the injuries inflicted were of
serious nature, we hardly antici
pated this sad conclusion. Sunday
afternoon, between two and three
O'Clock, he brsathed his last, passing
away to that undiscovered bourne
without struggle, like one closing
his tired eyes in peaceful repose.
Tbs wonnd which caused his death
: was situated in the right groin; but
even this, were he in good health,
would hardly have produced it; but
lor some time he has been afflicted
with dropsy of the chest, seriously
iWuring his lungs, and the severe
shock is supposed to have caused
paralysis OF the heart. In regard to
the cause of this lamentable acct
'oent' the best theory offered, and
probably the true one, is that water
once used TO thaw out frozen cart
ridges becomes exceedingly danger
Gus, and Liable to explode when sub
Jected to either fire or conclusion;
this is cansed by the nitro-glycerine
escaping into the water, when sub
,Jected to heat. There is no doubt
out he inadvertently used bucket
OF water for this purpose which had
been previously SO used, and becom-
ing heated, exploded. johnny had
been in this section but short time,
but had endeared himself by his
manly conduct to host of warm
friends, who sincerely mourn his
death. To his bereaved parents and
sorrow-strickcn relatives we offer our
heartfelt coincidence.

The Wheat Regions OF Texas.

Our own farmers and merchants do not
seem to appreciate the immense wealth that
some day will surely result from the grow
ing of wheat, and other c, reals within our
own borders.
At least one-half, if not two-thirds of the
entire area of the State of Texas is one Of
the finest wheat producing regions in the
world, and should the price of cotton
diminish to such an extent rs lt NAV do
within very short time, so that It's cultiva-
ton would cease to be profitable, the rais-
ing of grain will become the principal en-
ployment Of the greater portion of our agri-
cultural population.
That our pursuits heretofore have been
directed too much in one channel TO beget
solid prosperity, is a self-evIdent PROPOSE
tion, even to the dullest intellect.
The raising of cotton to the exclusion of
everything else, and the neglecung Of every
other industry by our farmers, not only i'm
poverishes our soil, but materially effects
our prosperity in many other respects.
The constant labor il requires leaves him
very little time to improve his farm or to
devote 1t to the care OF stock, and the fail
ure of crops and the constant fluctuation Of
prices conspire to make his vocation one of
the most uncertain aud hazardous which he
could pursue; which prevents many per-
sons, especially young men, from engaging
in this useful occupation, so necessary to
the welfare and prosperity of the country.
That this last proposition is true is abun-
dainty proved by the great number of
young men seeking employment in our towns
and cities, as merchants, or engaging in pro-
fessions that must be far less remunerstive.
Our merchants and farmers have it in
their power in IA great measure to remedy
this growing evil. Instead of never ending
fields of cotton, let us have broad acres of
golden grain, more laborsaving machines,
devote more of our time to raising fine stock,
to providing ourselves with home comforts,
and the cultivation of the soil will be re-
garded as one of the safest and most iucra-
tive employment by all classes of men; and
instead of importing our own flour, hay,
etc, from the northwestern States for our
own consumption, we can soon raise
enough, not only for our own use but sufii-
cient to form the basis of magnificent COM
merce, which was begun this year.

GOVERNOR THOMAS, the low tax (twenty
cents on each 5000 gubernatorial candi-
date in Tennessee, declines, as he should,
to speak with a competitor who goes about

Radical Democracy sent up shrewder and
sharper debater by all odds than Governor
Porter to slash away at Thomas. His name
is Sykes, his head as clear as bell and In
genuity in debate infinite. But Thomas
was under no obligations to listen to Sykes's
eloquence or to turn over his audiences to
such a logician and substitute for Porter

be the best cOgnac). But Thomas is q tenn

Thrilling Incident in NaPOIeOh's
Retreat from Moscow.

The horrors of war have been detailed in
infinite variety-affDrdIng themes of mex
hnustible abundance for the mOralist, the
poet, the historian and the rOmancer.
Abundant in such details of suffering must
have been the disastrous campaign of Ma
pOleon in Russia-Or, rather, the most dis
astrous portion of the campaign the re-
treat from Moscow.
The ordinary disasters of a retreat
through an enemy's country were, in this
instance, fearfully aggravated 10y the in
ense severity of the cold, and that of the
institutes who perished, there were the
thousands who sank beneath it's rigors for
the hundreds who fell heneath the lances OF
the Cossacks. Yet the assaults of these
rowing warriors of the desert were fearfully
destructive. Hove1rg in small bands
around the division of the retreatIng French
men, and never failing to strike whenever
a small part of the enemy became separated
from the main body of its march-and such
separations were daily becoming more fire.
quent, through the relaxation OF discipline
and the increasing want of provisions
there was no possibility of either resisting
or escaping their attacks. Well mounted
upon their fleet and hardy cOursers, such
was the rapidity OF their movements that
they seemed to spring up from the earth,
always appearing when least expected, and
repulsed, sc uring away with celebrity thai

harassed Frcnchmen had been able to at
tempt il. For them, indeed, there was but
cne resource; to keep as closely as possibl,
together; when attacked by the Ossack.

Thus were the remains Of Ndpoleon's
great army toiliDg back across the frightful
wastes of that unhospitable region, but
daily leaving thousands Of ineir number
stiffening on its Shows; the troops OF G -
sacks sweeping around them and bringing
up their rear, ready to pick up every strag

every industrial act Of life, each hour they
mandment of the religion they profess.
They may not lie or steal that human
laws may intervene and punish, but they
steal, in Gods eyes, when shirkIng work
and robbing employers. They violate an
engagement on the slightest provocation,
and forget that in this they rob and lie
and steal, and yet they sit within Gods
sanctuary this day and go through
all the forms and ceremonies defined
for Christians by Him who pro
nounced the marvellous sermon on the
mount. When man himself contemplates
with contempt the hollow mJckenes of this
sort of religion, consisting in empty words
and genufiectiOns and psalmody on Sunday
and of frauds and bad faith and idleness
through the week, it Is hardly to be sup
posed that just God looks on or listens
pit should teach Its listeners that violations
of contract are objectionable thefts; that
taking money without toll is larceny and
that the sufferer i'll each case is ''robbed''
of the proceeds of his toll and that
capital is only an accumulation of industry
represented by money. The lsbOrer of to-
day, if true to himself and employers, will
be the capitalist of the morrow, and his
surest and safest and most inexhaustible
bank account must ever consist in the char
acter and habits established while gaining
competency or wealth.
But We only proposed to suggest to the
pulpit of Austin, however filled, by whites
or blacks, that there is deplorable degree
OF loose moral thin king in reference to the
Ie e!ations between capital and industry
which should be remedied. The law can
not reach it; statutes can provide no ade-
quate remedy; politicians have other texts
from which to evoke pretty homilies af-
fecting society and government; and yet
the hourly comfort of each of US and the
beattude in this world and the next, of
rich and poor, depends to an infinite extent
upon thorough reforms in social relations
here defined. There are texts everywhere in
Coos book for those who would serve So
ciety and the church in this behalf, and the
STATESMAN has accomplished its task, if it
evoke sermon or two, based upon the
gospel, of honesty, good pay and hard
work
