We give the basis Of the recent set
tleme mt made been the IIorrolls and
Higginses, Of LampasOs, in another
column. This desperate teud has lasted
for years, and many men on both sides
have been killed. 1t is u plaintive and
pitiiul complaint made by Major Jones,
that no could not break up the fcud
because the judiciary would turn out
the criminals upon insufficient bonds,
so he did the next best thing-eilected
paciiication between the principals.
We had rather the law had developed
sufficient strength to break up the feud,
but failing this, We cannot help re.
joicing that by the other means peace
Is restored to Lampasas, and the brave
but misguided men who were parties to
the troubles, are at peace by any hon~
orable means. Would that every rcud
in the state were SO settled. And we
doubt not they could be with equal
facility, if only the proper means and
men like Jones were used in the work.
Major Jones since he has commanded
the frontier forces, has rendered the
state valuable service, but in settling
the IIorrell.IIiggins troubles he has sur
passed it all, The letters will be found

word. Of wisdom 10 the Need,

Philadelphia Times Workingmen
do not often get more sound sense in a
few words than is contained in Mr..
Governs dispatch to the miners at
Shenandoah. When he told them that
they would share in the rise he might
have added that they were the only la
borers in the country who proIited di.
rectly by the increased price of their
products. They were not compelled to
wait the pleasure OF their employers,
but partook at once of the advance in
the price. The miners showed that
they, too, had sense enough to see this,
and to appreciate that in no way could
they secure promise of better wages
than by continuing at work in order
that the Reading company might be
able 10 reap all the profit Of the new
field opened to il by the suspension of
the other mining companies.

aud an alligator was seer swimming in
the direction Of him. The little boy,
not perceiying the approach Of the saii-

surface open jaws received him. The
alligator drove his teeth almost through
the boys skull. making several wounds
in the scalp three inches in length.
The boys comrades rushed into the

Congress Yesterday.

Mr.. Ewing made another effort yesterday
to send up his silver imitation balloon in the
House, but it was held down by the guys
and stays of parliamentary rules, and after
foundering around for a short time it was
carted of into the committee room for re-
pairs. Tho performance of Mr.. Ewing is
becoming roally amusing. lie has been
placed in very ridiculous position. and
there is no way in which he can
extricate himself from 1t. He hos pledged
himself to make his balloon 90 up
or burst, but it will not do either the
one or the other. II he would only turn it
over to some one else he would be oil right,
but there is no one magnanimous or gen.
erous enough to take it, and tho prospects
are now that it will remain on his hands for
weeks md weeks. and it may be to the end
Of the session, Outside of this balloon bust
ness thore was nothing of Importance in
Congress. Mr.. Atkins reported tho Army
Appropriation bill, which amounts to lit
tie over twenty-five million dollars. Mr..
Morton's death was announced in both
branches and committees appointed to at
tend the funeral.
