In THE Sun OF Sunday was printed an ar
ticie from the Waco Examiner. describing an
occurrence ut the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College OF Texas. Tho purport OF
the story was that student who suspected a
fellow student OF having stolen something from
him. hanged the suspected youth 10 a tree until
he was nearly dead. letting him down now and
then to afford him an opportunity to confess.
The President OF the college is very indig-
nant nj the report. which. he says. lis
calculated TO do harm" No young
man. he AYERS. has been hanged at all.
Ono student tied rope around the neck Of
another but the latter was neither hurt nor
harmed. Two other students saw tho proceed
ing. but had nothing to do with It eNccp; to see
IT, Tho young man who used the rope was
expelled from the college. The victim. the
President adds. was young and timid. but
could not be- intmidated or frightened into
coniessine an act Of which he is as innocent as
am" In ordinary Texas lynchiugs the ques-
ton Of guilt or innocence is apt 70 be waived.
II 10 Satisfactory 70 leain that the students Of
the State Agricultural and Mechanical College
are more considerable. and don't complete a
hanging until the accused has been choked into
confession.

Capital in Farming.

There is one mistake which farmers
are everywhere too apt to make, and
that is in estimating the value OF their
homesteads. In almost all kinds of
business in Europe n mans occupation
is regarded by him rs hls fortune; If he
is possessed of Il Sool hUSlutsH, he has
his fortune already IN hand, and has no
need to wait longer for It 10 come. II
is not SO in this country, and still 1t
ought especially to be III respect to the
agricultural calling. When man
owns his farm, his house and barns and
other buildings, and all the stock, tools
and implements there are ON 1t. and IN
addition to this understands the art of
farming successfully, why has he not
his fortune in his hauds already? We
know it is frequently said that Il farmer
can no more get along without capital
than merchant or luauutactUrer, but
that does not mean that he shall have
a stated sum invested IN some distant
railroad or bank over which he has not
the slightest control. and whose uncer-
tain annual dividens are never turned
into the operations Of farming rs part
OF his quick capital. On the contrary,
he generally regards it as Il nest egg,
which he can comfort himself with
thinking about while he sweats ut his
labor in the fields, ana to which his
highest ambition is to make yearly adj
ditions by scraping and skinning fields
which that very money ought rather to
enrich.
In no sense whatever is the money
thus invested to be called the farmers
capital or any part of it. He does not
apply it to his active business. LII his
sight it is merely so much laid away.
so far as enterprising and progressive
farming is concerned he might Just as
well be without it altogether. 1t feeds
his vanity, and that is about all. When
he refers to what ne is worth, he inyari
ably thinks of his money thus invested
rather than of his farm and what is on
it, Now this is altogether and wholly
wrong. 1t is putting the cart before
the horse. \ farmer needs his capital
precisely where the merchant or manu-
facturer needs his, and that is in the
form of the materials that he is work
ing with or of the ready cash which will
help him at any moment to convert
those materials into marketable shape.
In short, he needs money for use and
not to hide away. 1t indicates u lack of
business faculty in farmer, to put the
very capital he requires where it will be
out of his reach and control. The
merchant never does this unless he has
got SO far along as to still have all he
needs at his hand in addition to that for
which he seeks an investment. There
fore we say that every farmer is already
rich that owns good farm, well stock
ed, well worked, with all needed build
ings and facilities, and sufficient ready
money to enable him to command the
market at all times. He increases his
fortune when he is increasing the pro-
ductive value of his farm by ceaseless
improvements -E,ss. Pioayhman.

A Mysterious Volcano.

The famous Bald Mountain is again
in state Of agitation. Yesterday some
parties who visited the place found that
the rent across the mountain had be-
come wider. The discovery of this
chasm was first made public in the
Globe Democrat two months ago, and a
full account OF the internal commissions
given then. The rent in the mountain
is now considerably wider. The GLOBE
Democrat correspondent. in company
with many citizens, visited the place to-
day. Upon looking into the chasm an
entrance to an immense and apparently
unbelievable cave is seen. 1t is now a
settled fact that the whole mountain is
hollow, thus making one of the most
wonderful and startling natural curl
osities in the world. During the week
occasional rumbling noises have been
beard IN its bowels, but whether they
proceeded from seething, boiling lava,
or other equally mysterious causes is
vet to be ascertained Crowds of visit
ors are hocking here hourly, and are
gazing into the mysterious volcano, If
such it is with a feeling of awe. Ar
engagements are being made for thor
ough exploration of the mountain, but
so far there are but few men who are
willing TO be first to start on the under
ground Journey. Already there are wild
and mysterious stories afioat which are
believed by the superstitious. 1t is
stated that last night figures could be
seen through the chasm moving about
IN the great subterranean halls of the
mountain by the light Of torches,
whose occasional flashes, darting
through the clefts and crags, struck ter
ror into the hearts of the simple noun
taineers. Again it is said that these
mountain gnomes are nothing more
than gang of unsubdued Illicit dis
tillers. who have made good use of the
place, aud kept up the noises to brighten
people away. The mystery, whatever
it is. will be solved in few days

Agricultural Propositions.

Is 1t not better to cut two tons of hay
from one acre of land, than to cut two
tons from two acres?
If one acre of land can be made to
produce 300 bushels of potatoes, is it
acres?
If the same quantity of manure, and
the same amount of labor in ploughing
and cultivating, will produce as much
corn from one acre of land as could be
produced from two acres with only the
same amount of labor aud manure
spread out upon two acres, is 1t not
much better to do so?
Is it not much better husbandry to
make two spires of grass grow where
one grows now, than to double the
acres?

The Gambler and the Stranger.

The Gambler ana the Stranger.
A few years ago, Mr.. S., gentlemanly
appearing gambler, determined to pay
visit to some old friends in the beautiful
river town of NJ, whom he had not seen
fer many years, and for that purpose had
taken passage on one of the elegant Gin
cinnali and Pittsburg steamers on the
Ohio river. On board was a party OF
gamblers with whom he was acquainted,
travelling rs usual in pursuit of pleasure
and money making. Soon after he had
taken passage II gcnteel-lookinG stranger,
neatly attired III black, came on board,
and the gamblers were at once 50 favor
ably impressed with his tidy appearance,
and sociablc, pleasing manners, that :hey
Immediately concluded he was good
subject and, after hasty constitution,
determined to "spot him" With this
object in view, they delegated Mr.. S. to
propose game to him. s. taking adj
vantage of the first favorable opportunity
he approached the stranger, and politely
made inquiry if he would not take
hand at game of cards for amusement.
mo, thank you, not now replied the
stranger. 81 feel little tired, and at
present am in no mood to- play
Gamher-Wcll perhaps you will feel
better this afternoon and we then will
play.
Stranger-If play at all it will be
after dinner.
The gamblers did not see any more of
him until ) z. NJ, when ). again APP
proachcd him and the following CONVEX
S4iiou occurred:
Gtmhicr.-Sir, you must have been
sleeping, as | have not seen you this
afternoon. | expected TO have had
game with you.
Stranger. l told you, believe, if l
played at ali, it would be this afternoon.
Gamblcr.-Very good, then, sir. We
will either have it now, then, or wait until
after supper.
strangcr.-A)l right, but docking at
the gambler pretty sharp when play
never play for fun play in earnest.
Gambler.-Suit yourself, sir. Any way
50 we have game.
S;ranger.-What is your pile, sirl
Gambler.-Oh, we will play for the
cigars and drinks.
Suanger.--Wcll, neither smoke nor
drink, so | am out on that. And what is
lhpIt, IL L pay Win l'u, Npu ihuSb dilo"
me the use of my own cards. You pro-
icssionals always mark your cards, and l
do not propose to give you that advan-
tage over me.
Gambler.-So be it, then, sir. Let us
proceed at once.
Stranger.-I give you fair warning
that | usually hold winning cards, and
nearly always beat, especially when
hearts are trumps.
Gamber.-EIearts are your favorite
trumps, then, are they!
Stranger.-Yes, sir. | very rarely
play for heart that | don't win it, |
assure you. | presume you will allow
me the first deal!
Gaubler-Oh, certainly. We always
extend that courtesy to strangers.
The gamblers were all standing near,
eager and ready to commence, and con-
graduating themselves on this lucky
chance and an easy victory; but their
disappointment can only be imagined
when the stranger coolly placed his hand
in his pocket and took thereirom II bunch
of ncaty-prnted cards, one of which he
cautiously presented to each of the gam
blers and passengers who had assembled
to witness the game and bearing the fol-
lowing inscription;

The gamblers were not only chagrined
and disappointed, but surprised beyond
description. Not one of them had en-
tertained an idea seemingly that he was

subject and making haul as they conf

boat resounded with merriment and
laughter; and, when it reached the ladies'
cabin, quite a number of them came for

some of the gamblers sinking away to
their statc-rooms the better to conceal
their disappointment, while few took it
as good-naturedly as was possible under
the circumstances. There was no card
playing, however, on the boat that night.
The sequel, which is the best part of it
though, is that 5, who was formerly edu-
Gated to the ministry, attended the meet
