Very few of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from diseases of the
heart do really arise from that cause.
To ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, experiments have been tried in
Europe and reported to scientific con-
gress held at Strasbourg. Sixty-six
cases of sudden death were made the
subject of a thorough post norton ex-
animation. In these only two were
found who had died from disease of
the heart. Nine out OF sixty-six had
of spoplexy, while there were forty-six
cases of congestion of the lungs-that
Is, the lungs were so full of blood that
they could not. work, there not being
blood enough for quantity of air TO
enter to support life. The causes
that produce congestion of the
lungs are cold feet, tight cloth
ing, costIve bowels, sitting still,
chilled after being warmed with labor
or rapid walking, going too suddenly
from close, heated rooms into the cold
air, especially after speaking, and sud-
den depressing news operating on the
blood. Tho causes of sudden death
being known, an avoidance of them
may serve to lengthen many valuable
lives which would otherwise be lost
under the verdict ''heart complaint. +"
This disease is supposed 10 be ineYIta-
ole and incurable; hence, many do
not take the pains they would do to
avoid sudden death If they knew it
lIy in their power.

Mr.. nj, -IADenman, county surveyor
OF Kimble county, gives the STATES
MAN particulars of the bloody tragedy
which occurred in Junction City, the
county scat Of Kimble county, on the
ninth inst. There was a disagreement
+ between the Braziers and Msj. Wright.
They were both in Junction city on the
day referred TO, awaiting settlement in
court regarding this disagreement,
and Wright and two of the Braziers
met in the afternoon. Words passed,
when one of the Braziers drew a pis-
toll on Wright, talking insultiBgly.
n. :. German, who was sum-
moned by the constable, attempted
TO take hold of BaZier's pistol,
when the other Brszier presented his
gun and told him TO let the pistol
alone. German reminded him of his
duty IN commanding the peace. and
told him that he must lay down his
srn. Brazier, instead of doing so,
shot German through the heart. The
other Braner fired ut Wright, and,
though stunned, Wright fired his gun
the ball taking effect IN Germans arm
as he fell. Denman, who had been sum-
lnoned to act as q peace officer for
the occasion, was then fred 1t by one
of the Braziers, when the game was
opened all around. Sheriff John Cor
man came running upon the scene, or
de1ing the parties TO surrender, but
the fight continued. The two Bra
zicrs, Wright and N. S. German were
killed. Altogether, tweaty-four shots
were fired. Wright was shot seven
times, one OF the Braziers tise times,
the other three times aud German three
times. Eighteen shots took effect, and
sixteen OF these were pronounced
dead shots.

The ErDress is no more philosophical
than truthful when it says that "the
Greenbackers propose to start an 'or.
gam at Austin. We presume this
means that few leaders, or men
with axes TO grind, will impose upon
the credulity of some victim who can
raise enough money to start paper by
their great promises of support, ana
after the struggle has commenceS II
the editor does not do all their dirty
work gratuitously and place then
names on the 'deadhesd' list they will
denounce the constitution as fraud and
failure which they cannot conscieu-
tIOusIy support and withdraw their in
fluence. Il will be the old, old story
repeated over and over again if such
paper be started with no other capt.
tai than the influence of few politi-
clans, played out in old parties, trying
to manipulate the forces of new one. "

The Omnipotence of the Headlight IN
Williamson county may be questioned
when VIC reflect that it has steadily and
violently advocated the repeal of the
uninforced local option law, and yet
the people have renewed its existence.
There are six or eight bar-rooms still
actively distributing mean whisky in
the county, and sheriffs and courts are
sworn to execute the laws and juries to
punish its violators. What about in
dictments against these officers. and
will the same voters who sustain the
law see that these courts and officers
are eXterminated2 1t the law be bad
enforce it and it will be repealed; if
good or bad, officers are criminal who
do not execute 1t. Round Rock would
be most attractive village but for its
sots and drunken brswls-for the non
obedience to the country's laws illus
trated in hourly violation of the local
option law.

open wide, and fewer aud lighter seed and turns
OF more lint than short staple cotton.
3. 1t has more and longer limbs, with shorter
joints and larger bolls; they begin at the ground.
and the stalk is OF copical shape, which supports
itself and fruit.
4. 1t commands 3311 per cent more than short
STABLE cotton, as shown by Mr.. Pearcc's sale il
Philadelphia in 1873, and by tests made in Geoi :
gia and Texas in 1877
These important characteristics, accorded only
to the Pcaree CO. ton, and which are certified to
by those who have tried it, certainly warrant
the prediction that at no distant day it will tie
