The Texas Border.

Gen. Ord, commanding the military
department of Texas, was examined re-
Gently, by the select committee of the
House, on the Texas frontier troubles,
and gave very full and intelligent ac-
count of the cattle raids to which the
rancheros on the American side of the
Rio Grande for 500 miles along the river
and for $50 miles back are subjected.
The country which is the scene of these
forays is separated from the river by an
extensive belt of underground forest,
which forms shelter for the cattle thieves,
and renders it next to impossible for the
military patrols or posts to interfere with
them. There are two classes of Next
cans on the Texas side-one, the intelli-
gent and honest rancheros, as much Op-
posed to these raids as the American
portion of the population, and the other,
consisting of worthless fellows, most of
them outlaws or deserters from the
Mexican army, who act as spies for their
compadres when they cross the river on
their cattle-stealing expeditions. On
their own side of the river, these bands,
which sometimes number from 100 to
$50 men, are in league with the local
au'ioIilico, 1iich lcCOSuiAcu Ciiitl pciuS
Cortina, SO that all facilities are given
them for disposing of their plumber.
The National Government of Mexico is
not to be blamed, in Gen. Ord's opinion,
for this state of things, because the sys-
tenn of government is to let each State
take care of its own affairs. The only
remedy for the evil which the General is
urging on the War Department is to in
crease the cavalry force on the Rio
Grande, and give him authority, when
his troops come on the trail of these
thieving bands, to let the pursuit be
continued to the Mexican side of the
river, and let the troops deal summary
punishment. He says that now, in one
or more Northern States, himself and
the Mexican commandment have mutual
arrangement by which Indian expeditions
are followed on either side of the river,
and on some occasions the American and
Mexican troops have co-operated.

POstNfiice CircumlOcutiOn.

Note the practical working of the
thing A in Oakland, CAL, writes to b
in San Francisco, to attend his grand
mothers funeral, to take place next day.
In the hurry and confusion A neglects
to stamp the letter. Twenty days later
b receives circular from the Third As
sistant Postmaster General at Washing
ton, notifying him that an unstamped
letter is lying in the custody OF the Dead
Letter Office, which will be forwarded to
him on receipt of stamp and the circu-
lar sent. He writes at once, inclosing
stamp, and thus at the end of forty days
receives the bid to his grandmother's
funeral 1t has cost him six cents and
an. envelope, and the trouble of writing
q direction. What has it cost the De
partment A letter has been re-envel-
oped and sent eastward over So degrees
of longitude when it arrived another
letter was written and sent westward
over the same route third letter is writ

PartOn's Wife.

Mrs. Burnham writes from New York
to the st. Louis Republican Fanny
Fern" must have Topped over in her
grave last Sunday night, when her daugh-
ter married her husband. Fanny had
two very fat, plain girls, always her con
slant companions. The one ma, ried
Mortimer Thomson (Doestichs), aud died
the first or second year thereafter, leav-
ing nice little girl who must be now fiji
teen years old. The other was an old
maid who, after her mothers death, took
care of the child and her stepfather.
Now she goes of to Massachusetts and
marries her pop. My gracious! What
a peoplel All the little details were at
tended to. Nothing seems to have been
omitted except casual glance at the
statutes of the State. Fanny's daughter
was remarkably plain girl, but should
suppose she might have found some one
outside her immediate family. Go on
James, and while you fix up the statute,
make it lawful to marry your wife's
granddaughter, for there's little Miss
Thomson coming up; you may want to
marry her in a year or so.

Deaf. Dumb. Blind and Insane.

Our readers will readily call to mind
sickening case of wife-murder which Oc-
Cured in the town of Lamartine, year
ago last November. Russell Brown, while
insane, in n most brutal manner, butch
cred his wife and then fled, and has never
been heard from. Mrs. Brown had been
married to the murderer but a few
months. She was the widow Booth pre-
vious to the marriage, and had several
children, among them, Elliot Booth, who
is now about Is years of age. Not long
after his mothers terrible death young
Booth became insane, and was taken to
the Oshkosh Asylum. Recovering his
reason he went back, and we believe that
most of the time he had been at work
for William Stearns. About two months
ago, while in church, he suddenly be-
came blind, and remained so several
days, and then as suddenly his sight re-
turned to him. About two weeks ago,
while suffering from severe headache,
he became blind q second time, and after
q few days could see as well as ever again.
On Thursday last, while at work, he be-
came blind third time, and soon after
ward he was further afflicted with deafness
and then he became dumb. So he has re-
NAMED up to the present time. He was
to-day brought to the city for treatment.
The case Is most remarkable one,
surely. Fond du Lac { Wis., Common

THE FASHIONS.
SPRING BoNNErs AND HATS.

SPRING BoNNErs AND HATS.
Round hats show very little novelty in
shape.
Light colors will prevail in milliners'
materials. Black bonnets are by no
means to be abandoned, but white and
light bonnets for dress occasions have
been so successful this winter that they
will be far more generally adopted when
warm weather returns than they have
been for years.
Soft brocaded and basket-woven silks
and ribbons to match will be the trim
mings for early spring bonnets.
Thin fabrics are once more displayed
for bonnet trimmings. They are gauze
ribbons, with tiny open spaces and
blocks like the grenadines worn last
summer. These are shown in solid col
ors or else in two contrasting colors,
such as navy blue with creme, or cardinal
red with pale French gray.
SPRING SILKS.
Fancy silks are displayed for spring
in advance of the arrival of the rich gros
grains. These are of the light weight
used for spring and summer, and the
best qualities are offered at present for
81 yard. bingham plaids" are the
choice in these, especially in the gay
combinations made up of white and
black lines. Thus the ground is white,
with four or five bars of black running
each way. Brown and navy blue pat
terms of this kind are also much ad-
mired.
SPRING DRESSES.
The bordered lawns and organdies
called Centennial lawns are being made
up with square kerchiefs or fichus some
what in Centennial fashion. The foun-
ces, overskirt, collar, cuffs, belt and
pocket are all trimmed with the border
that comes near the selvage of the lawn,
or else in separate horizontal bands.
Gayly colored ribbons, made into ro-
settles, are also used on these pretty and
simple dresses. Some of the organdies
are made of high colored patterns that
will not wish, and these are trimmed
with rows of box-pleated flounces.
Dresses that are meant to wash have
side pleated or gathered founces that
are easily laundried. For trimming
suits of solid-colored lawns in the pretty
rose, cream, pale, or dark blue shades,
white machine embroidered muslin is
used in scant founces or ruffles. This
somes in sheer lawn merely scalloped in
deep scalloped points, or else dotted with
close work or perhaps in the open com
pass designs of English embroidery.
Bands wrought on both edges, with suf-
fcient plain space between for ruffles,
are sold by the dozen or half-dozen for O
small sum. The newest feature in such
bands is to have them in ecru muslin
instead Of in the snowy white-blue.-

adjusted. He came up 30 close that they
were on the very point of addressing
him; but Mt that moment he stepped
aside, seemingly to let them pass, and
then, even while the eyes of both the
ladies were upon him, he disappeared.
The astonishment of Mrs. D. and
her daughter may be imagined. They
could scarcely believe the evidence of
their own eyes. They fingered for a
time on the spot, expecting him TO re-
appear; then they fastened home. They
afterward ascertained, through DIR.
D, that his patient, Mr.. Thompson,
being seriously indisposed, was confined
to his bed, and that he had not teen out
of his room, nor, indeed, his bed.
throughout the entire day. He died six
weeks later.-NeW York Sun.

English Justice.

Another case of frightful severity, as
praciiced by the creator the little-un-
paid magistracy of England, is now being
discussed in Old Country papers. A la
borer was found with cabbage in his
possession, which he acknowl-
edged he had taken from field,
but only because he had been given to
understand that the cabbages were bad,
and were about to be ploughed mp. The
offender got good character for honesty
and sobriety, but the Hastings magis-
trate thought that the ends of justice
could only be served by sending the poor
wretch to prison with hard labor for six
weeks. Toronto Globe.

YOU CAM MOST ALWAYS SOMETIMES
TELL.
BY II. p. shILLABER.

Was Il the voice Oh IA tell or bird
Which, careless, l, half-hearing heard?
AZ bubbled forth with a laugh inblent,
And girlish scream of merriment,
And these the words on my ear that fell:
You can't most always sometimes tell.",
I marveled much such words TO hear,
But smiled at their conjunction queer,
For in them was pregnant thought,
TO &c IN many judgment wrought,
For what il i'll or what il we'll
We can't most always sometimes tel.
The outside glitter OF worldly show
Obscures the meanings that lurk below;
We gaze and wonder, and think We see,
But our eyes are blurred 10y The glamol ry
We check our verdict, saying, "Well,
We can't most always sometimes tell
Superiativee in dress and air
Nav take the careless bv their glare,
And simulated virtues shine
Az bright as Jewels from the mine;
We nudge the kernel from the shell,
But can't most always sometimesttH.
SO yerdcts every day are given
Of many matters under heaven:
With honest hearts and truthful tongue
They earnestly are said and sung,
Where people pray, or preach, or sell
We can't most always sometimes tell.
The smiling look may haply hide
A covert where the gloom abide
The dullest tone in law or love
May treacheTous and wicked prove;
The smooth mien hide purpose fell
We can't most always sometimes tel.
But II tbs thus, rejection saith,
We lose in men all living faith
The people moving round about,
Are seen through clouds OF fear and doubt,
And they may say of us as well.
We can't most always sometimes tell.

The StOutest Man in HOOsierdOm.

Ed Crippen, of Indianapolis, is said
to be the stoutest man in Indiana. He
is over six feet high and weighs near 800
pounds, has no surplus flesh, and is as
fine specimen of humanity as can be
found in this or any other country. His
muscles are like iron, and he can lift
1000 pounds dead weight, and asks
nothing but fair hold. He is in per-
feet health, and moves around as quick
as young man. He is about 45 years
old. Trot out your specimens, gentle
men, and beat Ed if you can.

Transportation of Live Stock.

The United States Senate has passed
ee bill introduced by Senator Frelng-
huysen to regulate the transportation of
cattle by cars. 1t is understood that it
will meet concurrence in the House and
become law. In this event its terms,
which are as follows, become of interest
to Western shippers:
No railroad within the United States whose
road forms any part of line over which cattle,
sheep, swine and other animals are conveyed
from one State to another or owners or mas
tiers of steam, sailing or other vessels engaged
in transporting cattle sheep, swine or other
animals from State to State, shall confne the
same in vehicles, railroad cars, boats or vessels
of any description for longer period than
twenty-four consecutive hours without unload
ing the same for rest water and food for
period of at least seven hours, unless prevent
e1 from 80 unloading by storm or other acct
dental causes or shall carry such animals i'll
a cruel and inhuman manner. In estimating
such confinement, the time during which the
animals have been confined without rest in
connection with the roads from which they are
received shall be included, it being the intent
of this section to prohibit continuous contine-
ment beyond period OF twenty-four hours,
except upon contingencies heretofore stated.
Animals 80 unloaded shall be properly fed and
watered during such rest by the owner, or in
case of his default in 80 doing, then by the
railroad company, or persons operating any
railroad, or the owners or masters of vehicles
or boats or vessels transporting the same at
the expense of the owner or the person in GUS
tody thereof, and said railroads shall in such
cases have lien upon the animals for the food
furnished, and shall not be liable for deten-
ton. Any company or persons who shall
knowingly fail to comply with these provisions
shall for every failure forfeit and pay penalty
Of not less than 800 nor more than $500, and
any person having control over such animals
who shall violate any pi DIVISION of such sec
tons shall be punished by fine of not less
than 300 nor more than $500, or by imprison-
ment for not more than one year, or both.

A truthful soul, loving mind,
Full Of affection for its kind:
A spirit Arm, erect and free,
That never Dasely bends a knee;
That will not bear a feathers weight
OF slavery's chains for small or great
That truly speaks from God within
That never makes league with sin;
That snaps the letters aespots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God and Him alone,
And bows no more than at His throne
And trembles at no tyrant's nod;
soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile at curse or ban
This il the soul that makes man.
WHAT MAKES woMAs7
Not courtly dress nor queenly air;
Not jeweled hand, compile xion fair;
Not graceful form nor lofty tread:
Not paint, nor curs, nor splendid head
Not pearly teeth nor sparkling eyes;
Not voice that nightingale outvies;
Not breath as sweet as Byzantine;
Not gaudy gems, nor fabrics fine;
Not all the stores of fashions mart,
Nor yet Establishments OF art;
Not one, nor all of these combined,
Can make one woman true, refined.
It's not the casket that we prize,
But that which in the casket lies!
These outward charms which please the sight
Are naught unless the heart be right.

Proceedings of the Minnesota House of Repre-

Mr.. James, of Blue Earth, from the
Committee on Claims, to whom was re-
ferred by resolution of the House the
duty of ascertaining the amount of
money expended by the several counties
for the destruction of grasshoppers dur
ing the summer of 1875, reported that
the following facts had been ascertained
from the Auditors of the several coun.
ties:

hoppers destroyed at total cost of
