A ClevClander's Trip TO Texas

CLEVELAND, Tenn, April 3, ".
Mr.. EDITOR:
AS quite a number Of people
have asked me about Texas, with
your permission | will express
through the columns Of your pa
per, some things | saw and give
my opinion Of that far off Lone
Star State. 1t takes two days and
two and one-hal.; nights to get to
Dallas city, Texas. Cost from
this place by emigrant ticket is
S24.75. There is nothing interest
ing between here and there, save
the crossing ofthe Mississippi riv
er; the cars are run on the steam
ferry boat and transported to the
Arkansas side Of that majestic
river. Arkansas is one continual
swamp and not fit to live in by
white people, although their
lands are better adapted to cot.
ton than any in the South or
West. We reached Texarkana
which is on the line of Texas and
Arkansas for breakfast at 10 a. IN.
This country from Texarkana

Bravo ! for the Indiana Legis-
lature. 1t has passed q bill pro
hibiting the changing of text
books in the public schools of that
State oftener than once in six
years. This one wise measure is
alone sufficient to inmortalize
that body.-ErcLoagc.
The passage of a similar bill by
the Tennessee Legislature would
be a "wise measure" and tend TO
immortalize that body" if so be

talizing it.-KnorvjRe Tribune.

CURIOSITIES OF CRIME.

The novelist who should make
and tell in a romance such a story
as that which Mr.. Floyd tells of the
recovery of his recently-stoleu pro-
perty would get himself into trou-
Bile with the critics. Mr.. FloyGs
house at Englewood, N. j., was
robbed recently. The detectives
have been busy searching for the
thief and goods, out have been able
to make nothing out OF it. Yes
terday man came to Mr.. Floyd 8
office, and, declaring his purpose to
right the wrong, took Mr.. Floyd
in broad daylight to the house in
which the stolen goods were stor~
ed and, within sight Of a detective
policeman, loaded the goods on a
truck and sent them home. He de-
clined the protfered reward, too,
only asking that no description Of
himself should be given.
Another story, not quite so sing
