Sulphur Springs Gazette: j. K. Ham,
who was recently arrested in Kansas
City, and conveyed to Austin as one OF
the chief operators in the monstrous
land swindle now being unearthed, is
the same man who, in 1874, came to
this county and filed suit in the dis
trict court against Il. NJ. Posey for the
recovery of the farm owned and occu-
pied by Judge A. G. Melton up to the
time of his death. Mr.. Posey was in
possession OF the farm by inheritance.
Ham was in possession of deed to the
land, supporting to be from Judge Mel
ton, dated at Austin in 1857. This
deed showed to be in strict conformity
to law--properly executed, acknowl,
edged and recorded in the clerks office
of Travis county. The defendant be-
lieved the deed to be forgery, and de-
termiued TO defend against the suit.
Ham made overtures for compromise,
which was refused, and the suit was
finally abandoned.

On the wedding day in Borneo the
bride and bridegroom are brought from
opposite ends of the village to the spot
where the ceremony is to be performed
They are made to sit on two bars of iron,
that blessings as lasting and health rs
vigorous may attend the pair. A cigar
and betal leaf, prepared with the areca
nut, are next put in the hands Of the
bride and bridegroom. One OF the
priests then waves two fowls over the
heads of the couple, and in long ads
dress to the Supreme Being calls down
blessings upon the pair, and implores
that peace and happiness may attend
the union. After the heads of the aili,
anced have been knocked against each
other three or four times, the bride,
groom puts the prepared sire leaf and
cigar into the mouth of the bride, while
she does the same for him, whom she
thus acknowledges as her husband.

LONDON, October 1.-The Paris corr
respondent of the Times telegraphs
that the ministry have recognized the
necessity of retiring upon finding that
the senate would not undertake the re-
sponsibllity OF their acts, by according
them vote Of confidence. President
MacMahon has decided to nominate a
new cabinet for this cabinet Men of
the same policy as the present minis
try, but having neither the standing or
talent to overawe the senate and the
cabinet party, have been chosen. 1t is
thought the approval OF the senate
may be obtained for such a cabinet,
while the real power remains In the
hands Of the present ministers.

Tobacco chewing Dying out.

A Cat SNOW the Next Sensation I'm
boston.


We like to see justice done whatever
the consequences justice demands
cat show, and cat show We are TO DO
favored with In this classic city. There
are three classes of domestic pets
cats, dogs and babies. The eccentrici-
ties OF human affection sometimes
bring into the circle of polite and low
ing attention many other expressions
of animal life, such as rabbits, fquir-
rels, raccoons aud grizzly bears. But
the above mentioned are all that can
be put In classes. Now the dogs have
had their day, the babies are taxing
their turn, aud the cats are soon to
come upon the scene, daintily attired,
and perhaps bringing their own music.
Cats are tie substitutes for something
better or something worse 10 the fanlf.
~. They are the companions OF the
children where there are children,
and where there are none they take
the wasting affection that IL hungering
for an object. In the heart OF every
husbandless woman of certain or lii-
certain age they find q place, aud even
when other ties are formed they are
generally able to keep share Of the
consideration that has been granted
them. The cat convention, then, will
be an event There will be brought
within the range of republic eye the
prlde OF many hearth-rug or easy
obalr-the grave Maltese, the diHtibgue
Apgors, the martial tiger cat, the
practical bob-tail, and so many other
grades that the wonder will be whether
It hasn't ralned cats for the occasioH:
The eighty-pound cat that y reported
to be one of the wonders Of Philadei-
phia should be among the collection,
even II Pullman car has TO he char
tered expressly TO bring him on.
