BEAUREGARD ON THE WAR.-It has
just came to light that in 1866 the new
ly indicted Charles Of Hohenzollern,
Domnitor Prince of Roumania. rendered
to General P. G. T. Beauregard, then
living in Paris, the command of his ar
mics, with the rank OF Field Marshal,
a complete outfit and 500, 900 year
pay. General Beauregard was to be at
liberty to select his own staff and GER
tain other officers, and to designate
their rank. 1t was promised that the ar
my should be kept at minimum Of
10000 men. The General, however,
declined the offer and returned to New
Orleans, where he now is. He has
written letter, under date of Nav 10,
in which he refers to this offer and ex.
presses his warm sympathy with the
Turks, "because they are the weaker
party and are defending their homes and
fresides." As to the pretext of war
1.-The protection Of tie Christians"-he
says: at reminds me oil the complaint
Of the wolf drinking at the same spring
with the lamb" General Beauregard
adds: Turkey offers magnificent lines
Of deIense-ihe Danube and the Balkan
Mountains. With two or three hundred
thousand Confederate troops I would
guarantee to hold them against any num-
Der Of Russians. I'll were m command
there | would fortify those lines well
and with my iron-clad gunboats l would
prevent the construction Of any bridges
across the Danube. I would send Gen.
Forrest with twenty-five or thirty thous-
and cavalry to destroy all the depots Of
supplies, railroads and bridge. from the
Danube to Middle Russia, thence to
some port Of the Black Sea, where l
would transport his command to some
other favorable point, say in the rear of
the Russian forces operating in Asia,
south Of the Black Sea. Forrest would
be provided with camels to transport
his light field artillery, baggage and
light pontoon trans. He would have
also full supply of carrier-pigeons to
keep me posted as to has movements.
My feet in the Black Sea would keep
it free Of the enemy's ships. would
destroy their supplies at Odessa and
any other ports on the Black Sea. In
other words, I would bring starvation
to my assistance. How long do YOU

SPoiLED HIS PiEry.-Horace Gree.
ley used to affirm that newspaper men
were the most patient people, a. a class,
on earth; and he was not far from right,
though there are times when patience
ceases to be virtue with the most en-.
during. Nearly everybody IN Michi-
gan knows Burr, who used 10 start n
newspaper about once month the wear
round, generally bringing them out in
Grand Rapids, but sometimes making
a flying trip to other points. Burr could
stand to be told that he lied about cir
culation, was on the fence as a politi-
clan, and that he didn't know ANYTHING
about publishing = paper; and when
men threatened to sue or thrash him, he
only smiled sad smile and wished that
mankind wouldn't get excited. During
religious revival in Grand Rapids,
Burr was converted, aud it frequently
happened that religious people called at
his Office TO talk with him. One day a
minister came in, and, after tslkin,
awhile, he proposed prayer. He was
in the act Of kneeling. when his foot
struck one Of the outside forms, which
was leaning against leg of the impos-
ing stone, ready to be lifted up. and
over il went, making half a bushel Of
pi. Burr looked at the rum wrought.
and then commenced taking OF his coat,
saying:
I'm trying to be a Christian. and set
good example, but damned my but
tons if can't lick you in just two min
utes.'
The minister backed down stairs in
no time, lodging the msllet on the way.
and Burr bsckslid at once, and sent
down for pint Of stiinulant.

INTEREST.

The late convention saw fit to dove
tail into the organic law a clause limit
ing interest, and the effects of that leg
islation, now conceded to be unwise, is
felt throughout Texas. The only con
dition on which borrowers can obtain
money at the lowest possible rate OF in
tcrest is by allowing absolutely mre-
stricted competition between lenders,
which can never exist so long AZ the
law prescribes what they shall or shall
not do. Massachusetts, from an eX-
treme usury law, has passed to the
most liberal legislation on this subject
Of any State in the Union and there is
no locality within the national limits
where it is so easy to borrow at so low
n rate. In New York, as the Jomnai
of Cop,niHce--a safe and reliable guide
asserts, as a matter of fact, nine-tenths
of all money borrowed Mt high rate in
time of financial pressure in defiance
of the usury law, renders more real
service to tho community than the en-.
tire volume of loans made during the
same period within the legal limit
If the usury law was wholly repealed,
the average rate of interest in
this State (os it is in London)
would be far below twelve per cent,
and the market would seldom 90 above
it. Tho fact that very needy borrowers
or persons in moderate credit could al
ways obtain n loan at some rate, with
out serious risk to the lender, would
give employment to II larger volume OF
capital, and attract it here from all parts
of the world. And such freedom would
stimulate warrantable business adven.
lures There are many commercial en-
terprises which, if successful, could we'll
afford to pny II bonus for the use of cap.
ital borrowed for the purpose, and the
money could be oftcncr had, to the great
satisfaction of both parties, if such a
contract could be legally maintained.
Another great difficulty in Texas in
borrowing money arises from the fact
that our homestead exemptions, which,
in nine cases out of ten embrace every
thing the individual has, prevent any
adequate security from being given. At
present, although having the finest
bodies of real estate in the known
world, that real eatate is utterly worth
less rs " basis for borrowing money,
This condition of affairs hurts the poor
man, and will continue TO Cypress him
until there be notifications,
