Secretary Schurz makes a mystery
of the new commissioner of Indian
affairs till he returns from Louisville.
Ii does not matter as much as the sec
rotary seems to think.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Tyuer has dispatches that there Is no
particular change in Morton's condi'
ton to-day.
Thirty temporary clerks were dis
charged at the treasury department to-
day.
Seven thousand five hundred dollars
were contributed to the conscience
fund or the treasury to-day by an OBJ
scure person.
Senator Ransom is quoted: "The
democrats will not attempt to organize
the senate by seeking aid from repub'
leans"
Secretary Schurz is said to have dis
covered some logs and two saw mills
in Colorado, which he has ordered re-
plevined. The squatters are ordering
dictionaries to find what replevin is.
Secretary Evarts and his two daugh-
tiers left this morning for Louisville,
stopping at Grafton, West Virginia,
where they wait until the arrival OF
Secretary Schurz and Postmaster Gen
eral Key, who leaves this evening.
The acknowledgement will accom-
pany the presidential party on their
southern tour. Secretary Schurz ex-
poets to leave the party and return to
the city, arriving on Wednesday even
ing the 10Th instant.
Secretary Thompson will accompa'
ny the party as far as Chattanooga
from which place he will proceed u
Pensacola, Florida, for the purpose oil
examining the nayy-yards at that
point.
The president, accompanied by O
number of the party, among them be
ing Secretaries Evarts and McCrary
and Postm aster. General Key, will
proceed to Chattanooga, Nashville and
Knoxville and return to Washington
perhaps, via Richmond, about the
twenty.fifth.
1t Is intimated that the commission
er of Indians affairs will be Mr.. Ezra
Hoyt, Of New York, who is at present
member of the board OF Indian com
missioners.

There is hardly room for doubt that
the weeks operations about Plevna
did not result AZ favorably for the
Russo Roumanian army w was eS-
peoted. In view of the reports from
Russian source, the brief Turkish bul.
letin about affairs at plevna, received
since Friday, puts another face on
matters: 1.-THE Russians have made
no continuous assaults, but have been
repulsed. We have captured two re-
doubts on the Lavatz road. which re-
Gently fell into the hands Of the
enemy" This comedies with the only
detailed narrative yet received and
with the late Russian bulletins.
The friends of Russia have reason to
fear, therefore, that the capture OF
Grivica redoubt il of much less in
significance than was ut first rep
resented. IL so, Osman pasha
may await his reiuforcements without
fear OF further Immediate molestation.
These reinforcements are, according to
the Times Vienna despatch, already
on the way from Sofia, where more OF
the reserves have been sent across the
Balkans to 0rchanie.
The following description Of Sulei-
man pasha's position, written ten days
ago, is, probably, still correct In the
main: Suleiman pasha's army, In.
Gliding reinforcements just received,
keeps up Its original number, $4,000,
with ample field artillery and noun
tain guns upon the left and right. He
has established sixteen guns, which
gave the Russians no rest, night or
day. Although he cannot sufficiently
command the roads from Grabiva into
the Russian Notifications to prevent
their receiving supplies, they can and
do have anything but an easy time
within their entertainments, which
are exposed to his murderous thanking
fire that entails very heavy losses.
General Radezksby cannot break
through the force before him and de-
scend out into the plain anywhere.
Suleiman pasha can drive him out OF
his position and make sweep upon
Gabrova and the country beyond. SO
matters will, in all probably, remain
until some important change occurs In
the vicinity of Shumla and Plevna.
Report says the carowitchs' forces
have been so weakened to reinforce
the Plevna army that they are no
match for Mehemet ali, and this seems
to be corroborated by the Russians
steadily retrogradiDg. On the whole,
whatever may be the fate Of Plevna,
the time is rapidly slipping away In
wich the Russians might retrieve the
fortunes Of the European campaign,
now as seriously compromised as the
| Asiatic one.

Sanger Bros.


Notwithstanding the fact that the
improvements in their mammoth store
rooms are progressing rapidly, nnd the
cloud OF workmen seen all over the
building, yet the chief and his army of
salesmen are US busy M bees from
morning Till night, and from Monday
morning till Saturday night, with the
immense trade always attracted there
by the world of goods and the aston
ishingly low prices, whether money Is
tight or the reverse. Sangers' trade ID
something wonderful, and has been
built up on sound business principles,
and consequently will last. But great
as IL ia, and rapidly as 1t Is growing,
we are constrained to say every parti-
Gle OF this wonderful success is richly
deserved. There is no better merchant,
no cleverer man, in the American
sense Of the word, no more correct and
honorable business man than Sanger
IN the state.
Their weekly bulletin OF bargains we
proudly present in another column,
and call especial attention to 1t, and
while we do so, we can truthfully AS
sure our readers that they can rely i'm
plicitly upon the representations he
makes In the advertisement, as well
as those over the counter. Let the
ladies remember that the season for
new styles is now here, and Sanger Is
equal to the occasion.

COTTON CROP.

WASHINGTON, September l5.-The
statistician of the department OF fgri-
culture reports the condition of cotton,
during the first week of September, as
averaging, for the whole cotton belt,
the same as in September Of last year.
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana, Arkansas and Tennessee make a
higher average than In 1876. The Car
olinas, Georgia and Texas report less
favorably, the greatest reduction being
In Texas.
AS compared with last month, Flor
ida, Arkansas and Tennessee only re.
port improvement. The percentages
condition are as follows; North Caro-
lima, SO South Carolina, So; Georgia,
rs; Florida, "a; Alabama, 81; Missis-
slppi, 49, Louisiana, 90; Texas, 40;
Arkansas, 90; Tennessee, 100.
The caterpillar prevails in the gulf
states and In South Carolina, but has
done little damage As yet. In Texas,
and several parishes in Louisiana, the
loss IL considerable from this cause.
Where II has made late appearance,
1t will benefit rather than iDjure the
crops.
In the Atlantic states, there is much
complaint Of rust, mainly from drouth,
but in some counties by injury rom

NEW ENGINE HOUSE.
Ehe Work Commenced ON the Build
Ing In East DaIias--A Commendsbie
Private Enterprise.

For mouths past East Dallas Hook
and Ladder company No. 2, have been
trying to get the city council to build
them house suitable for their pur
poses. Despairing Of getting the coun-
Gil to have the work done, the mem
bers OF the company haye gone to
work to build 1t themselves, aided by
the residents of their locality, and such
assistance ss they can obtain from
others. The foundation, of rock two
and half feet deep, is already built
on a lot owned by the COM
pany adjoining DIR. Aliens drugstore,
Cd Elm street. The brick work will
be commenced shortly and the build
ing is expected to be finished within
four or five weeks. 1t will be one-story
high, twenty-five feet front, fifty'four
feet deep, with an attractive front ele'
walton, and the cost, exclusive OF the
ground, is estimated at twelve hund.
red dollars Monday night the COM
pany hold Il meeting at which the time
for laying the corner stone will be set.
The laying of the stone will probably
take place during the week, and 1t is
expected that the fire department will
turn out. The military companies
will also be invited to be pres
ent. The East Dallas hook and ladder
is flne organization, composed of the
best citizens of that locality, who are
ever ressiy to respond to an alarm of
fire. They show great pluck and pro
gressiveness in their present move,
and their new building will be a uses
ful ornament to.their portion OF the
city. We wish them success In their
undertaking, and hope they will soon
have the pleasure Of seeing erected a
building which they, as well as the
W hole city, will be justly proud Of. DIR.

pany and w. J. Shone, esq, foreman.

Beer Millionaires.

1t is only about thirty years since lager
beer came into use in the United States.
The first brewery was established in

ness in New York 1t is now one of the
most important industries in the city
There are thrty.seven lager beer brew
cries in the city and suburbs. and they
turn out over a million barrels in the
course OF the year. The beer made by
George Ehret is considered the best; at
all events, there is more demand for il
than any other. Ehret sold 1872 900 bar
rels in 1876; Rupert ranks next as an

same year being "a 900 barrels. The
Schaefers. who introduced the business.
sold $1,000 barrels. IL is hardly neces
sary to say that all the lager beer brewers
are Germans Some have become very
rich and only few have failed in the
business. The capital invested in il il
very large. Ehret's capital is about 81,
100000. When he started. eleven years
ago, he had to borrow money to carry
him over the first few months. Rupert

other brewer who started in the same
year retired on a fortune few years ago,
and his partner continues the business
on a capital Of 100000. Altogether the
money invested in the brewing of lager
beer in and around New York is proba-
bly, not less than S,000,0O0.
The men employed in the business
earn from SOS to SIS per month, and
have all the beer they want to drink.
Their hours are long averaging fifteen
out of the twenty-four. An employe who
doesn't drink more than twenty glasses
a day is considered economical. Many
go up to fifty or sixty, and there are
some who boast Of capacity for one hun

Pithy Sayings.

The memory OF an eye is the most
deathless Of memories. because there, il
anywhere. you catch glimpse OF the Wis.
ible soul as it sits by the window.
Be not hasty to cast off every aspersion
that is cast upon you. Let them alone
for a while, and then. like mud on
clothes. they will rub off.
The wealth of man is the number OF
things which he loves and blesses, and
which he is loved and blessed by.
No cl arity should be extended ia
those who are not a. willing to do justice
as they are to receive it.
Most OF our misfortunes are more sup
portable than the comments of our friends
upon them.
Frowns blight your children as frosty
nights blight young plants.
Envy shooteth at others and woundeth
herself.
