STAGE ROBBING IN TEXAS.
1t Is Not an Unprofitable Occupation
lGalveston (Texas) News.I


lGalveston (Texas) News.I
The robbing of stages and mails beyond
Fort Worth had become amusingly monot-
onous, if such state of mind is possible,
when slight shock was given to the monot-
ony by the recent casual shooting of one of
the highwaymen in an unofficial interference
with the regular order of amusements in
Robbers Hollow. Doubtless the man Ross
who fired the fatal shot will apologize TO the
State and federal authorities for his violent
intrusion upon the scene, and serene
impunity for stage and mail rifiing, inter
rupted without their agency or sanction, will
soon be re-established on the road to Fort
Yuma. Doubtless, judging from the past,
it is safe to assume that the stages and their
contents, including passengers, win continue
to be systematically robbed. OF course, on
each repetition of the performance there is a
new set of passengers, new and deeply
interested audience, so to speak, but the
programme and the actors in these popular
open air theatrical entertainments appear
to undergo little or no change. However,
ut is early In the season yet, and possibly the
managers and the scenic artists may have
some novelty in store. Meanwhile, let Us
glance at skeleton of the performance which
has so long been on the boards, or rather on
the wayside and the road, for run of ap-
parently unlimited duration. sfs @
AT the usual hour the stage reaches Rob-
bers Hollow, twelve miles west of Fort
Worth. The-tw well-known villains in the
play rush from behind their favorite old
bush, down the well beaten path. to the spot
where the robbery is to take place. They do
not need to shake their pistols sternly at the
stage-drvier to secure his attention, for the
horses, intelligent brutes, stop of their own
accord, as does the propelling power at
tached to milk wagon in front of q house
of regular customer. The driver seems to
regard the subsequent proceedings in the
light of . business transaction between
the robbers and the excursionists in the
stage, in which it would be indelicate
for him to intrude without special invita-

The Duke of Cumberland will have in
fucntial relatives when he espouses the
Princess Thyra, of Denmark, but it will
be out of their power to restore to him
the kingdom of Hanover, which his father
lost by his hostility to Prussia in the war
of 1866. 1t Is quite reasonable, therefore,
that the Danish and British courts should
recommend the Duke to accept the $16,-
100000 which Prussia agreed to pay his
fatheras indemnity, and cease to be a
monarch only in name.

Inc Crescent, the national standard OF
Turkey, is said to have owed its origin
to strange circumstance. According to
the legend, the Sultan Othman, founder
of the Ottoman Power, saw on one occa-
sion in vision Crescent moon, which
appeared to keep increasing till it
stretched from the east to the west; and
it is said that the sight SO impressed HIM
that he thought he could see in it 80
much of his own empires future exten-
sion, that he was at once led to adopt the
crescent for his imperial banner.
A Havana dispatch says royal order,
dated September. 10. 1878, is promulga-

named Forrer, who made his way to
Madrid, where he applied for documents
to save himself from the consequences of
of his flight in case he should return to
Cuba, shall be declared free. The order
directs furthermore, that henceforth If
any slave, for whatever cause, shall en-
ter the territorial or maritime jurisdiction
of Spain, or Of any of her colonies or
possessions outside of the Island of Caba,
such slave shall be declared free, and all
children born of slave mothers. after the
latter have touched the soil of Spain out
side of Cuba, shall also be declared free
The owners of slaves liberated by the Or
der will be dulv indemnl6ed.

While the scourge in the Southwest is
being abated every day by the healing
influences of the cold weather, small
epidemic is having its run in Western
Virginia. For distance of forty miles
along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, it is said, there is hardly house
in which diphtheria may not be found.
The cause is apparently far reaching and
the range of the dangerous malady af-
fords fine field for sanitary investiga-
ton. The country is generally supposed
to be comparatively free from these pes
tilences, but the ignorance and reck-
lessness of the rural population frequent
" more than Offset the purer influences
OF country air, and the medical inspector
is frequently needed out of town quite as
much as in town.

the use of certain labels. Defendants demur-
red and held that the court had no jurisdiction.
| This raised the question of the constitutional
power of Congress to legislate upon the sub
