A. fl. Steph chs to the Children.

Hon. Alexander II. Stephens addressed
the children of st. James Sunday-school.
Augusta, Ga, at considerable length on
Sunday afternoon last. and gave them
some excellent advice. In concluding he
told the boys if they had aspirations for
public position, they should seek it only
to do good to others; that they should
have no other object than to confer bless
ings upon their neighbors, and that they
should never seek to be greater than they
are good, In tho course Of his remarks
he said B." Now. children. want the
humblcst and youngest, and every one
to understand that there is 4 spirit going
abroad in this age, inculcatiug in the
minds Of the philosophers. SO called,
the idea that man. after all is only made
up OF matter. They are called materi-
lists. These teachers-l may be pardon
ed for calling the name Of some of them,
Spencer and Huxicy-their whole philos-
ply is that there is no difference between
a man and horse ora dog, and that
is all matter, aud when man dies, his
existence, life passes away, becomes
extinct forever, and that he passes into
the grave just as an inferior animal
What l want to impress upon you, chill
dren, is that the oracles of God, as given
by Moses and handed down by time i'm
memorial, teach no such doctrine. Lit
tie girls, little boys, never entertain the
idea that there is no difference between
you and the dog, or horse, or the AMI
NAL that is about you, keccollect that
in the first chapter of the Bible you arc
taught that into man was brcathed' liv-
ing soul, an immortal spirit, that is to
live hereafter. These philosophers tha,
/ speak of are this time doing more mis-.
chief, more harm to the world, than any
other class of men ever did. They do
not understand this doctrine that wish
to impress upon these teachers aud upon
this age; the mistake they make is be-
tween the organization Of nature and the
creation of man-thnt ho was the highest
type of creation, and that into him was
breathod q living soul that stamps upon
him immortality. 1t is the doctrines
taught in the Scriptures that it is the work
of tho Sunday school to expound."

draw sbr publication upon several pri-
vate conversations with his late assoei.
ates,r land insinuates other confidential in
terviews calculated to ongender mutual
distrusts, to the extent they may be al
lowed to have weight among gentlemen.
Whether this be graceful leavc-taking
on the part of one who eonfesses to have
been treated with marked kindness aud
courtesy in past intercourses, or whether
it be strictly professional, the public will
judge.
The history OF the case is this: The
School of Natural History and Geology
had been divided between Prof. Stafford
and Prof. Winchell, since the organiza-
ton of tho University. The principal
work fell on the former, who is resident.
Both were able and willing laborers /;
but the three months leetureship was
found not to fit in well it jostled the
schedule and in order to secure Prof.
Winchell such q hearing as he deserved,
classes and students were thrown some
! what out of joint. But the University
derived benefit generally from his Ia
bors and reputation. lie was popular
with the Trustees, Faculty, students and
people, and, notwithstanding his " Pro
fessorship," was felt to be sort of fifth
wheel, the interest of the University,
all things considered, justified its contin-
uanee through the second and third year.
His development of evolution and poly
genism became so pronounced, in the
last year, as to raise and press the ques
tioa, Is Prof. Winchells connection with
the University brnefcial to it +?
That question was met by abollshing
tlH lecturesasp, andl ossssvag a,sisss Ia /
tids upon the other joint Professor,
whose time had not before been fully oc.
cup pied in that department. The Board
of Trust were enabled thus to make
practical and needed advances in other
departments of instruction-and at the
same time to disconnect the University
from any responsibility for the Profess
or's dogma.
This statement may be something TO
the candid and hasty critics who profess
to see indrection in the Trustees. "Why
not" say they, dismiss or refuse to re-
appoint him or vacate his chair, instead
of resorting to the pretext OF abolishing
his chair 7" Because they meant TO get
rid OF both, and took the shortest and
least offensive because impersonal course.

The Career Of sam. Bass.
| From the Gall cston News, 2ist.l

From the Galveston News, 2ist.l
The desperate train-robbcr and high
wayman, whose career of crime was
brought to n close, for the present, at
least, by his arrest near Round Rock,
Williamson county, yesterday, having
been wounded in the fight, the day be-
fore. particulars of which were given in
the News Of Saturday morning, was born
in Southern Indiana, about 1851. He
emigrated to Texas, some eight years
ago, and selected Denton as the place of
residence, when he commenced opera,
tons, by entering into the employ OF
Sheriff Egan, and was placed in charge
of stock that was allowed free range of
the prairics and bottoms. In this capac-
ity he soon acquired a perfect knowledge
Of the roads, thickets, and by-paths which
he turned to such good account within
the past few months, when his arrest was
the primo object of the officers of the
law, and the shrewdest detectives that
could be induced to follow his tracks.
He is said to have u passion for cards
and horse-races, and cultivated the ac-
vi wv IliONl dbu4ibpiiNN iIlNi
desperate Of both sexes that chance
threw in his way. After quitting the
service of the gentleman named. Bass is
supposed to have perfected the organi-
cation of which he was the acknowledge
ed head, and to have been engaged up to
the time of his death in directing the
movements Of the gang, and eifecting es-
capes from arrest at the hands of officers
of the law, extending operations,at at one
time, to the other side OF tho Rio Grande
Returning from operations near the Mex
ican border, Bass attached himself to
drovers on the trail to Kansas, and fa-
miiarized himself with the section ada.
cent to, and along the line of, the cattle
drive extending from Denton to the
Black Hills.
His first great robbery was that Of the
Union Pacific train at Big Springs, Neb.,
September, 1877, in which he was assist
cd by joel Collins Tom. Nixon, Hoat-
ling, Jack Davis, and another, whose
name is not recolectcd. By this raid
100000 in gold, all of it in $50 pieces OF
California mintage, were secured. Col
Inns ana 1lOatllnn Wefo soon aileT killeu
by Shcrit1's party in Kansas, and $780,
900 recovered Davis was soon after
killed at Mexico, Mo-, and $4,000 more
fell into the hands of the officers and de.
tectives. Though closely followed, Bass
and Nixon escaped, reached Fort Worth
and there separated, Bass returning to
Denton, and soon after, in company with
Underwood, going to San Antonio, to
which place they were followed by one
of Pinkerton's detectives and Tom. Ger
ren, Deputy Sheriff of Denton County,
warm personal friend of Bass, and who
was accused of sending word to Bass OF
the coming officers, thus letting him make
his escape. From San Antonio Bass re-
turned to Denton, where he continued TO
reside, though rewards aggrcgating 49,
600 were offered for hisarrost, until after
the robbercs of the trains that occurred
