The Old world.

O'Donovsn Rosa is still drawing the
hard earned savings Of poor lrshmen
into his own pockets at the. rate oil
about $1,000 a week, for the nominal
purpose of providing Diminishing
fund" with which TO begin new Fenian
operations. And still he is not happy,
but calls for more.
1t Is said that fve-year-old girl,
named Comma Cuniberti is a star al
oae of the Florentine thesters. She is
lovely, and plays marvelously, walking
the stage with as much freedom as il
she had trod it all her life. Poets have
written verses In her honor, the wife of
Salvini, the tragedian, made her gift
of precious necklace, and the Prin-
cess Royal Margherita expressed her
appreciation in beautiful and valus-
ble present. Cavsliere Rossi, the
tragedian, predicts for her a splendid
career, and that she will improve with
age until she becomes the greatest &C
tress the world has ever seen.
Prince Louis Napoleon is still one of
the most indefatlgable of students. He
is now reading hard with tutor very
distinguished in France. What most
occupies the Princes attention ia q cub
iect with vvhroh lie naturally desires to
be well acquainted-the political duties
of the provincial projects. His friends
complain that the Prince does not take
sufficient exercise, and goes too little
into society. / is no secret that the
Empress is very anxious to see Der son
n 'ried before he passes his twenty
second year. The Madrilenes have
made up their minds that his Imperial
Highness is to marry the daughter OF
Queen Isabella. The truth, however,
is that the selection of a wife for the
heir of the Bohapartes is a very diff
cult business indeed, and that at pres
ent, at all events, the Prince devOtes
much more time to reading than to
love-making.
Three men we'll known in London,
all members of the new Orleans Club,
and all bachelors, wished to promote
an impromptu entertainment in honor
of their new establishment and for theiI
own special delectation. They agreed
that the number of guests should be
nine as a maximum, reducible, as far
as circumstances might allow, to q
minimum of six. They were each to
ask the married lady of their acquain
lance who came nearest to their ideal OF
what was most charming; the only
limitation being the club rule, that such
ladies were to be lin general society,"
The husbands were not necessarily ex-
cluded, but if otherwise engaged SC
much the better. The dinner was to
take place on the following day, so tina,
there was no time for comparing notes
but each man thought he was sure OF
an acceptance. The day came, but the
three men dined alone. Each had been
refused, and, curiously enough, each
had received the same excuse, viz: that
the husband had a sudden attack OF
bronchitis, and that, etc. 1t was, OF
course, soon discovered that they had
each asked the same person, who, curl
Ously enough, was both truthful and
Lusband-loving.

It seems hardly credible, yet no
less experienced and careful observer
than Erastus Brooks is authority for
the statement that the sale of newsps
ders in the streets by newsboys was
substantially unknown until the sum-
mer of 1S49, the initial occasion being
Mr.. Webster's celebrated Mansfield
speech, in which he declared that the
domination of Gen. Taylor for the
presidency was one not fit to be made. F"
This was regarded as an affair Of such
public moment at the time that it was
carried up to Boston by special ex-
press and printed in the form OF an ex-
ira, which Mr.. Brooks tells US ''was
sold in the streets with zeal and
bought with q zest never excelled
siuce." The next piece of startling
news was the flight OF Louis Philippe
from France, which also brought out
the newsboys with their startling cry,
and since then they have become near
ly as much one of the institutions OF
the times as the daily paper itself. In
deed, some of the shrewd' st and most
successful business men in the coun-
try owe their success in life to the
schooling received in the sale of news.
papers.

Opening Scene OF the war.

The review of the Russian troops at
KischeHeff on April 81 lasted nearly
an hour and was over at half-past
eleven. When the music ceased the
soldiers took off their caps and the
great throng of spectators on the hill
side stood with heads uncovered while
the bishop of Kischeneff reeited q grand
military mass. A murmur ran through
the crowd; there was q dead silence
for an instant; then q clear, strong
voice broke the stiffness; the bishop
was reading the imperial manifesto {;
war with the Turks was being declared.
Before the bishop had finished reading
the manifesto sobs were heard, and
people who were looking about saw
that the Gar was weeping like a child I;
aud when they perceived how much he
was affected by it, there was not q dry
eye within the range of the readers
voice. Then there went up wild ard
universal shout-a shout of exultatiop,
of triumph and relief. as though great
weight OF suspense were lifted from the
heart of the multitude. II spread
through the army and was taken up by
the crowd outside and repeated over
and over again until the very sky was
fIllsof it. The soldiers tossed their
caps high in The air and caught them
on their bayonets and twirled them
round and round, shouting and yelling
IS though they would burst their
Threats. When silence was restored the
bishop addressed the army, the order
Of the Grand Dake Nicholas was read
to every battalion, squadron and bat
terry, and without moments pause Q
portion ofthe army set out for the FROM
ter, while the rest made rapid prepara-
tons for the march. This was the
opening scene of the war, as described
by correspondent Of the London
press.

A letter writer says that 1t seems
generally conceded by the politicians
that if the object of the remarkable
Democratic demonstration on behalf
of Messrs Tilden and Hendricks was to
somehow publicly commit the party in
New York to having them as the
standard bearers in the presidential
campaign of 1880, it was not success
According to the best information at
tainable, the anticipation was that
some one, in the enthusiasm of the mo-
ment, after Mr. Tilden's speech,
should propose to name him as the
next president, and that the PROPOSE
tion should be carried out by acclama-
ton; but for some reason or other this
important part Of the programme
failed, either through the incompetent
oy or treaChery OF those to whom its
execution YVES entrusted.

Synopsis Of Decisions of the Supreme
Court.
REPORTED by JOHN C. RANDOLPH OF
THE AUSTIN BAR.

No. 25G7-Cayton Erhard ct al. v. Mrs.
Asselne Hearne ct al. Opinion by
A. S. Walker, Sp'i J.
Without determining whether the
elder title is eXtinguished, or that the
matured junior title may or may not
be abandoned, so that the holder of
The elder title on regaining his posses
sion, or in a contest with one not in
prlvity with the junior title would have
his rights unaffected, we do decide that
the exemption from suit given by the
fifteenth section of the statute of limi-
tations can be pleaded as a defense by
ore in possession in privity of estate,
though with disconnected possession,
with one who had such three years
possession under the statute.
The judgment, therefore. is affirmed.

istrator; appeal from Navarro.

Land Office. The officer whose duty
it was to delineate the surveys on the
proper maps of the county failed 10

prejudice the rights of the owner.
3. A party in possession of land IN
der bond for title, whether he has
paid the purchase money or not can
plead the statute of limitations, as
against all persons save the party from
whom he purchased it.
4. An interval of one month from
the time the land was vacated until
the party who purchased it took pos

abandonment of the possession, SO as
to create hiatus in the RAINING Of the
statute of limitations. Such temporary
vacation frequently results from 3

ter in our history leaves no doubt that
the real purpose of the Louisiana COM
mission, and Of the whole conduct of
the Louisiana case by the President,
was TO accomplish the overthrow OF
Governor Packard and his authority.
Called upon under the Constitution and
laws of the country as its chief execu-
tIye to discharge grave public duty
a duty essential both to the msinten-
ance Of the life of great State; duty
equally essential to the maintenance OF
human nights and the principles of the
political party which had elected him,
the President not only declines the
duty but he stabs the State that sought
his aid and betrays the principles and
men whom he was bound to uphold and
protect.

Parson Newman lectured at Wash
ington last Sunday evening, and during
the discourse introduced a prophecy OF
Daniel in the words, "But tidings out
of the east and out of the north still
trouble him." etc. 1t was the purpose
of the lecturer to show that Daniel had
reference to the Turks, but before he
could make the application an excited
parsonage in the rear of the audience
exclaimed, by jlngo, he means
Hayes!"

AT HORSESHOE BEND.

attendance at the picnic and
tournament at "Horseshoe Bend"
was very large, some estimating
that fully 400 or more people
were present, about fifty of whom, or
perhaps more, were from the city.
Just at 1oA NJ. the knights, in their
variegated paraphernalia began their
dextrous work OF taking Off the rings
from their place of hanging. The rid
ing continued for two hours and a half,
and had some Of the old veritable
knights been on the ground to see the
Texas boys ride, they would have been
ashamed Of tho horsemanship of their
day. The knights rode splendidIy,
and the hoRors were holly contested
for by the chiyalrous youths of the
country, and their sweethearts (tor OF
course each young lady getting a
crown knew before hand what was
eoming) stood fixed and amazed at the
proves Of their favorite knights.
At the close Of the three rounds
Il was found that Messrs. Ed. Moore
and Bell Nolen had tied, and conse-
quently had TO "play OF, +" Mr.. Moore
winning the first honor and his worthy
antagonist the second. Messrs. Smith
and II. Ailler also tied, and had to run
over, which resulted In. Mr.. Smith
getting the third and Mr.. Miller the
fourth honor. After tho gallant knights
bad been psraded in front of the crowd
and the result Of their chivalry made
known by their captain, W. S. Wilson,
il was announced that Immediately ai-
ter dinner the browning Of the queen
and her maids Of honor would take
place upon the conclusion OF an ad-
dress BY Capt. S. G. Sneed. The peO-
pie then spread their dinner in the
shade OF some towering pecan trees,
and such dinner we've seldom seen
the equal Of. The three or four hun
dred people on the ground were all
filed to safety. After dinner was
over Capt. Sneed mounted the rostrum
