Robert>'s interposition in behalf of
the pardoned convicts at Houston, it
will change its opinion. In fact the
Banner has gone off more than half
cooked. II has strained by introvert-
ing on the tip of its elongated nose and
thus twisted its ocular orbs. The
great body of the intelligent, sober,
thoughtful people of Houston approve
Governor Roberts's action. Let the
Banner get at the facts before it in

1t was stated in one of our exchanges
from Houston, if We mistake not, that
Hesrne's mayor had been arrested for
an assault and incsrcerated. The story
was without proper foundation, il
seems. The gentleman, Mr.. F. 81.
Bailey, referred to was arrested at the
iustigation of N. L. R pyster, charging
him, Bailey, with ass iuIt and battery.
he was tried and acquitted at Calvert

The absence of game fish in Texas
rivers is remarked by almost every per-
son who visits the State from the North
or West or from abroad. That it is
possible to stock the streams q: Texas
with almost every description of fi5h

Legislature should have given the sub
ject the attention it has had in other
parts of the world to insure the stock
ing of rivers with fish and thus afford
a cheap and heslthtul supply of food
to people whose diet is not as varied as
could be desired. The trout. bass and
kindred varieties fl Durlsh wherever they
have chance, and other kinds do
well, as far as the experiment has been
tried. 7sl 100" Il u H.. r.
