WHEN Lasseps was cutGing the canal
between the Mediterranean and r ID
Seas, he found every where traces of
mems labors who were engaged in the
very task which he achieved sO fortu-
nstely for the worlds progress and ad
vancing civiliz atom. Wber Humboldt
was exploring Central America, he
found the ruins of canal dug by an
unknown race across the narrow 18th
mus separating the two oceans. Again
we are told by those engaged in sur
veylng the route for d canal for Nor
gan's steamers tcross the isthmus Of
Florida that they discovered along
the very route they preferred unmis-
taxable traces of canal, in which live
oaks are growing certainly 1000 years
old. 1t was wise man who said
nearly 5000 years ago that there is
nothing new under the sun. In fact ii
the Alexsndrian Library had not been

that railways, rs we'll as canals, had

lived before Moses as to those Of us

THE following act shuuid be read
and remembered forever ny the people
of Texas. 1t was born of the fact that
when members Of the House or Semitic
were required II devote cne-f0urth Of
the States revenue TO the schools, some
member would produce tax sale list
as advertised in some newspaper. This
hideous evidence ot the intolerable
weight Of public bur lens would silence
the finest orator that preached the
tanaticism of free school folly. Whence
was the money to Gomez The people
would not pay more and the lesson
taught by the advertised list of farms
and homes for sale for tax~s could not
be contemplated by the advocates Of
the free schools. Therefore this act.
II was passed very sileI I y, very quiet
", we are told, but the press viii see
the reason for its enactment. Thele
could be hut one reason given, that the
people may he roUbed lgnorantly and
that even their homes may be seized
and sold when they are ignorant of the
fact in order that the blessed wet
weather schools and pedagogues may
be enriched. But read the pretty little
law as it appears of record:

THE Kansas CITY Times devo,es much
of its edit rial space to discussion OF
the strange facts affecting the sick wo-
man at Rosedale given in another place.
The story it gives is simple enough. A
woman long ,tfl cted died; for q
period of three hours all the visible
to life again, and all the functions of
nature are restored. This is repeated
over and over again for weeks, and the
woman still lives, ard continues to die.
While the funcslons of life and organic
structure are dormant; while nutrition
and its sources are dried up. the mind
continues in increased activity, CON-
plete in all its functions and natural in
it's methods. Can 1t be true that life
and mind are but secretion or product
of the brain tissue9 If so, why was
the mind go active while the brain was
still2 How originated in this woman
terror, hope, fear, love, joy, grief
Whence came a long train of ideas en-
tirely foreign and repu aive to her edu
cation and religious belief 1t must
be true, after all, that Paul was right
and that man is spirit organized in
matter. Ia the presence OF facts like
these, if they be facts, the conscience
feels that life is real and immortality a
fact.

HOW SHERMaN's PO,IUX OPER-
ATED IN AUSTIN.

While the bon1holders and bankers
have controlled absolutely the financial
policy of the government and robbed
the poor as remOrse lessly as the rich
have been stnpeudously aggrandized,
it does not follow that when the people
invest proper representa- iv. of them
selves with power that the present con-
dltion of financial ST airs should be
subyerted It may be tini,ely wiser,
since we have reached the bottom OF
the hill and entered upon level plain
10 move forward very slowly. Mort
cages have been force O4ed and con-
traction and consequent bankruptcy
have done their perfect work. We
have seen its processes completed even
in Austin. Money-lenders have sold
and bought the wrecks of the
fortunes of their victims and
nothing, as WAS stated IN these
pages, would please money-!end-
ers more at this hour than an as
surance of speedy coming surfeit of
currency. The land they have would
rise rapidly in value and they would
soon sell at four or five fold the prices
at which they bought at trustees and
execution sales. Mlney-lenders, in
this place, have absorbed half q million
dollars of real estate at less than half
it's value when mortgages were origi-
nally executed and nothing would more
delight these speculators than the &C
QUESTION of power by Peter Cooper's
| Greenbackers. Real property would
soon be worth fOur-fold the price of
to-day, and thus the silly people would
add again enormously 10 the wealth OF
those who having used the government
in making extraordinary wealth, still
refuse to do aught in promotion of
any purpose of public bene6cence.
While the people should throw off the
| yoke which Sherman and the bondhold
ers, by diverting popular attention from
practical TO theoretie4l and sectional
issues, would re-impose, it does not
follow that we should flood the coun-
try with paper money to enrich again,
as no class was ever enriched by agen-
cies of government, these spectators
who have preyed upon popular misior-
tunes and poverty until at last the
greatest curse that ever befel a cuun-
try is discovered in the creation of two
great classes in America, the very rich
and the very poor. Deaths and acct
dents and incapable inheritoTs Of these

TIIE HANGmAN AND THE

Ever since the hangman started on
his weary, endless rounds some months

the Inauguration of the Old Alcalde,
the pockei-op-,he-hip has lost its de-

been spilled than for any equal period
for years past. As gathered up and

rHR MAD THIRST FOR OFFICE.

HartraDft has sought more offices than
any living man aud has always been in
Office and is always applying for some
thing fresh. His avidIty is not more
Unsuitable than his success in winning
places is wonderful. To secure an Of
fee in Washington one must bOotlick
around the place three or four months
and finally honors are awarded that
nuisance may be abEted or those in
power grow weary of persecution at
the hands of the same preternatural
bore. Society in Washington, as
strangers see it at hotels and boarding
houses, is made up of those seeking
soft places, of those having them to
give aud then of that miserable class
knowa rs claimants and claim agents.
All are sycophants. Those in power
cringe and fawn upon those above
them aud often fear more than they do
their God those who may have, by
chance, access to the car of authority.
The rascals all talk to one another In
whispers and are constantly saying
asThese walls have ears" and they
move about on tip-tOe and dare not
call their miserable souls their own.
Miserable, criBglng slaves and COW
ards are they and the most unfortunate
OF men and most wretched and uncer-
tain of their future are the 20, 900 hap
sess, spiritless devils who sneak about
as petty plsceholders in Washington.
No wonder they pay when elections
supervene. The order comes down
from the t'party" that awards offices
and the holders of these know full
well that if they do not buy Ohio the
tide will be 50 effectually turned
against Republicanism in 1879 that the
marty rill-ha enralp-. arwhslrnAd in
1880 and then an army of placeholders,
100, 600 strong, must be disbanded and
sent home to toll on farms and IN
workshops and as counter-hoppers and
lawyers clerks. It is sad to contem-
plate the woes Of this mighty body OF
hapless wretches. and sacder to reflect
upon the woes of country furnished
with such citizens by its own corrupt
1ng government. My we not hope
