Highway Robbery In Texas.

lGALvEsToN, May 1.-Two stages
from San Antonia to Kingsbur was
stopped and the passengers and mail
robbed about eight miles west of Sequin.
The passengers who arrived here to-day
state that one of the robbers rode long
side of the coach and inquired Of the
driver if he had noticed q
man on sorrel horse pass
and he took good look at the coaches
and passengers and rode on. Soon
after three masked men, armed with re-
peating rifles and mounted, advanced
from each side of the road, and ordered
the passengers to alight from both stages
and give up thcir weapons first, and then
oil their money. They allowed the pas
sengers to retain their watches and jew
elry. The robbers then cut open the
mail bags and robbed the mails. The
passengers state the robbers secured about
5000 in currency, four revolvers, two
Spencer rifles, which were in cases, be.
sides the mail matter. There were four
men among the fourteen passengers
armed with revolvers but owing to
lady passengers in both coaches did not
fire on the robbers. 1t is reported that
a company from hingburg started in

TRE WORK AT TIE CHILDREN'S
HOME

Thst was very sensible remark of
Mr.. iuBBARpS, last night, in his speech
at the Opera House, wnen, referring to
the .oldier cnumcnt fund, he said that
the best monum"..t that could be erected
10 the dad so'dirr was home for his
orphanrL ctiiG. |, is II necessity that there
should b. M endowment fund for the
Children, li'., and the suggestion OF
our mornih. c, temporary that the mon
umeut fund be converted to this use lis
well received. Six years ago this iDsti
t.ton was founded and has depended on
voluntary contributions for support, and
in The language OF the report of the
managers "its non sectarian spirit has
commended il 10 the hearts of all and
god will and good deeds have gone
hand IN hand" Sixteen lady managers
have remained in the board all the time.
During the last year one has removed TO
another city and one has died
In the month of April
1876 scarlet fever broke out in the Home,
but only one death resulted from it.
During the last winter two OF the in
unates made public profession of religion.
on the lst oflaSt November Mrs. NORTH
s"r entered on the discharge of her duties
as Marion, and the Managers testify to
her efficiency As they do to all in connec-
lion with the Institution. An especial
compliment is paid by the Board of
Managers 10 the Jewish Sisters for aid
rendered in emergencies.
The manages in thei- report say that
al one time during the winter the treas
ury was so low that there was nothing
ABOVE the smount necessary to pay SAL
aries. During the year seven have been
admitted two boys and five girls. The
binding Committee during the year
nave found homes for six boys and nine
girls. The greatest number of children
IN the Home at any one time
WAS iorty-one. The present num-
Der is thirty-thirteen boys and
seventeen girls. There are in the
nursery TIVE children under four years of
age and several too young to send
70 school. Those old enough have
been attending the public schools regu-
'afIy since the lst OF January.
lhe sanitary condition of the Home is
excellent, and the health, manners, per-
'ohsl cleanliness and moral and religious
framing of the children testify in ex-
Pfess've language to the efficient manage
lnen. of the Board.
IL Is source of congratu lation that
'ne city has an institution IN provide
LOT helpless or iorssken children and
send them out to mingle in the active
scenes oflife in condition happily con-
lrastlog with what it would have been if
'eH to themselves. We cannot too
strongly commend it to the patron,z,us
care of our people.

Medical Society, in session at Ann Ar

action on the homeopathic question one
year. In the meantime, an effort will be

the Legislature to abolish the homeo
pathic college Unavailing efforts have
been made by its opponents in the uni

resolutions. The faculty expressed con-
fidence in their ability to eXtinguish
homeopathy without the assistance Of
their brethren, if the society would leave

Ohio and New York.
Omaha Herald.

ouudha IlcIdlus
In 1864 New York dictated nothing
that would not have given the party vic
tory, and Ohio dictated its defeat by de-
manding a platform which the candidate
was compelled to repudiate. Clement L.
Vallandingham and George II. Pendle-
ton did it. In 1868 New York was
steadily for Governor Hendricks, except
when it voted for Church as man of
straw ut the instance of Indiana until
the delegation from that State could
carry out its compact with Ohio, and cast
united vote for him with an almost
tire certainty of securing his nomina-
ton. The same spirit that has so long
cursed Ohio hatched conspiracy to force
the nomination of Seymour without the
knowledge of the New York delegation,
and against their and Gov. Sevmour's
earnest protests. Clement l.. Vallan-
bingham and George Ii. Pendleton did
it again, and, as usual, defeat was the re-
suit.

Hours Of the Exhibition.

The Philadelphis Inquirer earnestly
advocates the opening of the Centennial
Exhibition at o'clock in the morning,
instead of 9. as agreed on by the mana
gers, on the ground that many would
choose that time as n matter of conven-
ience, small tradesmen and the like, who
could return to their stores before the
rush OF business begius, whilst others
would choose the cool morning honrs to
avoid the glare OF the sun and the rush
of the people. The Inquirer also ex-
presses the opinion that the price Of ad-
mission will be lowered to % cents.
