In an editorial In the Galveston
News of Tuesday appears the follow
ing:
ut is to be hoped that Lieutenant
Peak and his men have only made O
beginning. 1t will never do for mill
itary company, organized to take the
field against fighting band of brig
ands, to rest upon the record of quiet
ly arresting two individuals domiciled
within the corporate limits of Dallas"
This leads the otherwise posted read
ers of the News to believe that the
men, Pipes and Herndon, arrested ny
Lieutenant Peaks command, were
'arrested while domiciled within the
corporate limits of Dallas" Such Is
not the case. The men were arrested
at the farm house Of Albert Collina,
thirteen miles from this city. The
above is based on dispatch from this
place to that paper, and dated the 22d.
The whole is about as correct as the
News ever cares about getting when
speaking of the services Of north
Texan.

Ts,c Decay Of seriousness.

One Of the depressing signs Of the time
is the general decay Of seriousness, which
shows itself in many ways-in converse
ton, in literature, and in the occupations
of life. How hard it is to engage anybody
in q sober and earnest conversation d!
People like to talk well enough, says an
exchange, and will talk without ceasing on
the most trifling subjects. They are ready
to gossip, to entertain each other with the
small talk of society; but it is rare in COM
parison that we sit down with one who
seems to delight in conversation Of a higher
kind. The mass of people do not even
hin seriously. They have no convic-
tons, and do not care to nave any, even
while life is SO solemn and earnest, and so
swiftly passing away. They do not care to
to think deeply about anything outside
Of their special lines Of business. They
avoid the trouble of a real intellec-
tuai grapple with any of the great
problems of life. They do not rant
to be burdened with opinions which are
only formed as the result of thought, and
which may compel them to some positive
action or to sacrifice. They would get
their views as they get their dinners, where
they can be had the easiest; and take their
creeds as they buy their clothes, ''ready
made and as easy to put off as to put on.
In politics they go with a party, in religion
with a sect, to which they give up their
own independent thinking, content to have
it done for them.

Some time ago we made mention of Pat
rick Gallagher's application for q patent,
and also, at a later date, that he had OBJ
tanned it, on a bench-plane. Yesterday we
were shown a drawing of it. The inven-
ton has reference to improvements in
bench planes, so that the cutting iron lies
iat and will make a smoother cut in the
wood. Itisalso more easily adjusted than
the old styles OF planes, in which the iron
il retained by a wedge piece. This cutter
is firmly retained by a clsmp-screw, and a
hinged and spring-acting cover on the
slanting seat Of the plane.

or iron, OF the usual size and shape.
The iron cutter Is secured by a clamp
screw and slot to the s~lanting bottom Of
the plane, which is laid fiat thereon, so as
to cut smoother. 1t is held firmly in posi-
ton near the ~cutting-cdge by a metallic
cover or cap, that is hung by ears to a cross
pin, the part above the pin being set at an
obfusc angle to the lower part, and acted
upon by strong ba~nd-sprinSs that are
riveted to a detachable piece or bridge,
secured to side grooves Of the plane. The
springs press the lower end of the cover or
cap firmly on the cutter and secure it in
position, while admitting its more con-
venient adjustment than when fastened by
a wedge. as in the planes in general use.

Texas" Bowen, an old-time tramp
printer, has at last got his 'foot in it" over
on the Union Pacific Railroad, at Green
River station. Tex has been alternately
~cow-punching; s'regaining" stolen stock
over on the borders of New Mexico; attend
ing fandangos, and cutting and shooting
down in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona---
mixing in an occasional trip up the Mis-
souri, and over into Colorado, as a tramp
composition, for fifteen years or more. Tex
has always made it a point to score a tally
OF some kind in every town he ever was III.
II it didn't come his way on a first visit,
he'd go back, sure. He was in Denver,
Colorado, one or two trips, but the folks
we're so peaceably inclined that, a few
months ago, he got desperate, and after
working all night on the Neacs, he stepped
across the street to take o drink before
retiring. Tex had made up his mind
upon one Of the most harmless
printers, pulled out IN "Arkansaw
toothpick, and slashed away at the print
er's CONFERENCE.-THE marking his VIC
TINS countenance. There was q stampede
of typos, but a poor tailor who was sweetly
sleeping in a spread-eagle style over a card
table was Tex's next object, and he pinned
the mans hand to the table with his har-
poon, remarking that the people OF Denver
hadn't 'got acquainted with Tex. yet"
He was corralled, but finally got clear and
meandered out to Green River. There, on
election day, he made about the same re-
mark, and turned loose on a young lawyer,
A. r. Bradbury, with a Colts d%rayoon-re-
%volver. Bradbury caught one or two Of
the bullets in his body, and whether he
lives or dies it is liable to go hard with
Tex. He is now behind the bars.

1t isn't Kearney that makes communists
Of men; it isn't violent harangues and in
cendiary speeches; it isn't the teachings Of
hot-headed demagogues that makes men
communists. 1t is when the President and
Directors of a Boston or Chicago savings
bank, when the President and Directors of
a solid insurance company get the hard
earned dollars of laboring men and work
ing-women into their own hands, and then
divide it among themselves and retain their
positions in the best society; these are the
things that make the common people think
that q general division of all property
would benefit the poor quite as much as a
special division of the savings Of the poor
among the few. We started out to say
something funny OF this theme, but some
how or other when you get down into it
there's nothing funny boutit.-Barlington
