THE BORDER RAIDS.
Sen. Escobedo Acquitfed-The Presiding
Judge Assaulted by Counsel for Defence.

BRoWNsynLE, Texas, Nov 1.-THE trial of
Gen. Escobedo, for violation of the United
States neutrality law, resulted in aequittal, be-
cause it was not proved that the armed men to
the number of 200 or 800 who were in camp
with him actually intended to invade Mexico.
During the trial, Judge Morrill, OF the United
States Court, made some remark from the
bench which the counsel for defence regarded
as rejecting on him which they promptly re-
PEELED at the time. Elk Judge Russell, one of
the counsel for defence, subsequently addressed
a note to Judge Morrill,, asking him to dsclaim
fenectlug on him, which Judge Morrill, refused
10 do' whereupon Russell slapped Judge Nor

1urks Ready for FSace.
LONDON, Nov. ia correspondent at Con-
stantinople telegraphed yesterday the fol-
lowing:
council. over which the Sultan presided,
was held yesterday. The general feeling ex-
pressed, and By no one more strongly than the
Sultan, was in favor of making an effort to
put an end to the war. in which enough has
been done on both sides for glory, and which if
continued must infiict lasting injury on both.
1t was felt, however, that at present sufficient
reliance cannot be placed upon the declaration
of Russia, and that even while seeking to OBJ
tain honorable peace preparations for prolonged
resistance must be vigorously carried on.
The Grand Vizier will to-day inform Layard,
the British Ambassador, of the decision of the
council, 10 the hope that England will aid in
putting stop to the war which SO greatly
damages her own trade, and threatens to COM
promise her best interests.

The Sand i'm Egypt.

The sand has played preseryative
part in Egypt, and has saved for future
investigators much that would have
otherwise disappeared. Miss Martineau
says, in her " Eastern Life !" If
were to have the choice of fairy gift, it
should be like none of the many things
L fixed upon in my childhood, in readi-
ness for such occasions. 1t would be for
great winnowing fan, such as would,
without injury to human eyes and lungs,
blow away the sand which buries the
monuments of Egypt What scene
would be laid open to them One statue
and sarcophagus, brought from Mem.
phis, was buried 130 feet below the
mound surface. Who knows but that
the greater part of old Memphis, and of
other glorious cities, lies almost unharm-
ed under the sand Who can say what
armies of sphinxes, what sentinels of
colossi might start up on the banks of
the river, or come forth from the hill
sides Of the interior, when the clouds of
sand have been waited away ?" ALI will
be discovered in good time; we are not
yet ready for it; it is desirable we should
be further advanced in our power of in
depreciation before the sand be wholly
blown away. But in truth it will need a
high wind to do it, begin when it may

Doctor and Musician.

A correspondent of the Concord(N. H.
Monitor, says that physician in that
city, who was attending sick musician
during convalescence, suggested to the
latter that it would be agreeable to hear
a little music during his visits. The
musician fell in with the suggestion and
frequently regaled the doctor with the
concord of sweet sounds. Time sped
rapidly away, and the day arrived for
the presentation of that little bill for
medical attendance, which amounted to
about 800. The bill was presented,
but the worthy physician was surprised
and disgusted by the presentation of the
following counter charges, which he was
ultimately compelled to allow For

ClOseness of the Senate.

The political complexion of the next
United States Senate, which meets in
special session October Is, is as follows,
so far as the politics of the Senators is
at present defined: Republicans, thirty
nine; Democrats, thirty-three Inde-
pendent Republican, one. There are
three vacancies-one from South Caro-
lima, caused by the retirement of Sena-
tor Robertson, and two from Louisiana,
one being the vacancy caused by the re-
tirement of Senator West, and the other
being known as the Pinchback vacancy,
which has existed for four or five years
past. The applicants for the South
Carolina vacancy are David T. Corbin,
Republican, and M. G. Butler, Demo-
crat. The applicants for the two Loui-
siana vacancies are William Pitt Kellogg,
Republican, and J. B. Eustis and James
Lewis, Democrats. Should these vacan-
cies be filed by Democrats, the Demo-
Gratis would have thirty six members.

About Winding Up Watches.

More watches are spoilt by irregular
and hasty winding up than by most other
causes. The operation should, if possi-
BILE, be performed regularly, and always
with steady and uniform motion, not
moving both hands, and nearly as prac-
ticable at the same hour daily. A watch
should always be kept at the same tenn
perature; left over night in a stone sur
face it is sure to gain, or if the oil gets
thickened it may stop, to be started again
by the warmth of the pocket. The
requisites of a good watch are that the
case, whethersof gold or silver, should
be correctly made and of fair thickness,
the hinges close and smooth, the glass
we'll fitted, the dial of clear, bright en-,
amel, the seconds sunk, and the whole OF
good weight when held in the hand.
When, too, the dome is opened, the
brass work should look well finished, the
edges smoothed off, the steel OF a
diamond-like polish, and the jewels pale
in color, but Of a fine, clear luster.

And during the year 1876 and 1877 there
were sent from Philadelphia 4,677, $50
pounds of fresh meat, and from Boston
1887, ,040 pounds. Also one cargo from
Baltimore, which was a total failure, and
other shipments from Canada.
The vessels leaving New York and
fitted with the refrigerators for carrying
fresh meat include five steamers of the
Williams & G,lion line, with an aggre-
gate measurement used for ice, ma
chinery and meat of 4,030 tons six
steamers of the National line, with
1856 tons five steamers of the White
Star line, with 1923 tons; four steamers
of the Inman line, using 1,374 tons two
of the Anchor line, with $40 tons two of
the Cunarders, with 320 tons, and one
of the State line, with about 40 tons.
Since April last, owing mainly to the
advanced cost of cattle here, but partly
to the lack of adequate cold storage and
facilities for prompt distribution and
sale of the beef on arrival in foreign
ports, especially at Liverpool, shipments
of fresh beef have materially decreased
while the exports of live cattle have
correspondingly increased. In some
CdSeS tllt IelTlSeIduOI DOAGo huNO DSSi
taken out of the steamers, but the great
er part of such as have not been used
for fresh meat have been filled with but
ter, cheese, etc.
The expectation of live cattle for
British markets was begun from this
city by the Samuels Brothers in 1874,
who sent over twenty-six fat prime bull
locks in their first shipment and lost
twenty of them on the yoyoge. Other
shipments followed with better success,
and very recently they sent in one week
upwards of 200 fine cattle from New
York and more than 800 from Montreal.
Mr.. Eastman has sent over few live
cattle, Mr.. Bushman about 500, Fleishaur
& Edelmuth several hundred and num-
Der of cargoes have been sent from Phil
adelphia, Boston and Montreal Up to
April / last the shipments from New
York amounted to 8,365 head; from
Philadelphia, 1,02S; from Boston, $40.
Since April the business has been in
creasing weekly, and exporters are con.
fdent and hopeful of fair profits and
assured success for the future.

How Not TO Drown.

Men are drowned by raising their
arms above water, the unbuoying weight
of which depresses the head. Other
animals have neither motion nor ability
to act in similar manner, and therefore
swim naturally. When a man falls into
deep water, he will rise to the surface,
and will continue there if he does not
elevate his hands. If he moves his
hands under the water in any way he
pleases, his head will rise SO high as to
allow him free liberty to breathe, and if
he will use his legs in the act of walking
(or rather walking up stairs), his
shoulders will rise above the water, SC
that he may use less exertion with his
hands, or apply them to other purposes.
These plain directions are recommended
to the recollection of those who have
not learned to swim in their youth, as
they may be found highly advantageous
in preserving life.
