10y In the OF the State OF Texas We. Gamers,
81 of Woods Circuit COURT Reports, page %,
In which he concludes az follows:
"We think it ia intended to protect against

exercise Of the rights secured, AMI not private
infriugements Of tbese rights through prejudice
or otherwise. when the laws themselves are i'm.
par tial and sufficient"
There 10 no doubt but that the defendant here
intended by his affidavit to admit that the laws
and methods Of proceeding In the course Of Lou

make them available to all races alike. II there
be any discrimination from other sources than

Curious Instinct of a Cat.

A few days ago some corn meal mixed
with arsenic was set in my yard to ex-
terminate the many rodents which were
infesting it. The plate of poison was
soon surrounded with rats, each one
eager to obtain its full share. At length
one much larger and apparently much
older than the rest made his appearance,
walked cautiously around the festive
group, shifted the air, then advanced
closely, tasted the morsel, and by a sig
nificant wave or the nose caused the
other members of the party to with
draw to a respectful distance until his
appetite was satisfied.
The next day a neighboring cat took
her accustomed position on the dividing
fence, where she had been frequently
seen to pounce upon the unwary vermin
and carry them across the fence to her
family. She was not stationed long he
fore her tail began to twirl %nervOusly
from side to side, and every muscle in
her system seemed to be in motion. She
glided softly down the side of the fence
and across the yard until she confronted
a rat; with their heads not more than
eight inches apart both cat and rat stood
mOtionless and cody survey each other
for a minute or two, when the rat started
for his hole 'unpursned. The rat showed
signs Of sickness by its ruffied coat, and
there il doubt but that the feline's in
stinct was sufficient to warn her Of the
danger of taking the poisoned rat.-For.

The "Big Muddy"
From the Burlington Hawkeye.

From the Burlington Hawkeye.
The dust blows out of the Missouri
rivers II is the only river in the world
whefe the dust blows in great columns
out Of the river bed. The catfish come
up to the surface to sneeze. From the
great wide-strctching sandbars on the
Kansas shore great columns of dust and
sand, about 1000 feet high, come whirl-
ing and sweeping across the river and
hide the town, and sweep through the
train and make everything 70 dry and
gritty that a man a light a match on
the roof of his mouth. The Missouri
river il composed of six parts of sand
and mud and four partsof water. When
the wind blows very hard it dries the sur
face of the river and blows it away in
clouds Of dust. 1t is just dreadful. The
natural color of the river is seal brown,
but when it rains for two or three days
at q time and gets the river pretty wet, it
changes to . heavy iron gray. A long
rain will make the river so thin it can
easily be poured from one vessel into an
other, like cocktail. When it is ordina-
rily dry, however, it has to be stirred
with a stick before you can pour it out
of anything. 1t has a current of about
t%wenty-nine miles al hour, and perhaps
the largest acreage of sand-bars to the
square inch that was ever planted.
Steamboats, run down the Missouri river.
50 do newspaper correspondents. But
If the river is not fair to look upon,
there is some of the grandest country on
either side of it the sun ever shone upon.
How such a river come to run through
such q paradise is more than / can under
stand.

Bob Ingersoll and 1.-THE Sweet BY
and By"

Col. Bob Ingersoll and his wife sat
near me in a theater at Washington, the
other day. The latter lisa handsome,
matr0nly woman, and q happy-looking
mother. On the other side were two
fnc, healthy-looking girls, said by my
informant to be the two daughters, one
Of whom is rather proud of telling that
she has never been in a church. These
were the first real live infidels / had
ever seen, and compared with some
of the sour visaged, dyspeptic-lo0king
preachers l know, with dropping dismal
wives, this family of handsome, cheerful,
happy-faced free-thinkers certainly seem
to be having the best of it in this world,
whatever may become of them in the
next. When Lolita sang the "Sweet
By and BY" in q way go touching that
q good many susceptible people found
themselves unconsciously shedding tears,
J. glanced toward Col. Ingersoll, whose
fine features were not free from emotion,
and was glad to think that Z breeze from
the " Beautiful shore had been waited to
him." He cleared his throat hastily,
and, leahing over to an acquaintance,
who had been smiling, audibly, said
brusqnely, Why, man, what were you
crying about just now" "N.nsense,"
said the stout gentleman addressed, ~
wasn't crying, the lights hurt my eyes,"
"Ah!" said Col. Ingersoll, thoughtfully,
" ID it not strange that 4 man is ashamed
Of doing what is good, and not ashamed
OF doing what is bad.-Correspondent.
