News and Notes,

uNers in the Texas penltehtlary.
Alvin Adams, founder Of the
Adams Express Company, died
a few days since.
Thiers, eX-President Of the
French Republic, died at st.
Germain, on the Sd inst. His loss
is considered q serious one to the
Republican party in France.
Belle Boyd, who figured so
extensively during the war as a
scout for the confederate forces,
is now living at Calvert, Texas,
and supports herself and sister
By sewing.
The Peruvian government
wants to borrow $24, 100000 for
a few years, and will secure the
lender with a bank Of guano $50
miles long and a mile wide. It's
too rich a lead, and we don't
think we will invest.
A fire originated in and de-
stroyed Hale's Piano Factory
and q large number of other
buildings in New York City,
last week. Several persons are
said to have perished in the
flames.
The Nez Perces Indians came
across three Cinnamon, recently,
and killed two Of them "for
mere pastime and recreation"
The California white man will
hereafter have a higher opinion
Of this tribe Of savages.
Emigration from California to
Texas is noticeable. Lately num-
bers Of people have taken this
course, ana much stock, espe-
cially sheep, is being moved
across the country to the east
side of the Rio Grande.
The death of Ben De Bar af-
forded a beautiful Illustration
Of simple faith. His wife and
daughter, who were at once at
his bedside, testify that a few
minutes before his death, and
after he had ceased to speak, he
raised his arm and pointed his
finger upward, a smile at the
same time wreathing his face.
Russia and Turkey continue
to wage war against each other,
with a great many killed and
wounded and other horrifying
results. In most instances both
sides claim a victory, but late
dispatches report the Russians
advancing, and the situation Of
some of the Turkish strong-holds
rather critical. The London
Times urges that Germany and
England should interfere in the
interests Of peace, and prevent
further loss of life and property,
but it is not probable that this
will at present be done.
John Wesley Hardin, the out
law captured in Alabama, re-
Gently, was the son of a preacher
who lived in Southwest Texas.
When a boy he was remarkably
quiet, and gave no evidence of
the terrible passions which in
after life made him thirst for
blood. His last murder was the
killing Of Webb, the deputy
sheriff Of Brown county, Texas.
1t is estimated that in various
sections of the country there are
over $4,000 Of rewards offered
for his body.
AT a public meeting held at
Madras, recently, the Governor
stated that the famine area in
India contained 100000 of
people, q large proportion Of
whom were dependent for their
daily food on the eXertions and
activity of those who transport
grain to the country; that The

Mr. Tweed exoneratod Mr. LOew from the imputation
by saving that the sum borrowed by LOew from him.

borrower from LOOw. Nlr LOew Yesterday exhibited moi
ONLY the checks OF Tweed. which cOncuslvelY proved
tins but also from Tweed asking for the loans
