THE TEXAS DROUGHT.
tFrom the Dallas (Tex.) Herald.)


Reports from tbe country yesterday
were very disheartening. The rain which
we thought fell in the northern portion
of the county a few ago amounted to
hardly more than light sprinkle. not
enough to do more than lay the dust for
few hours. On many plantations the
wheat is not more than one foot high and
is heading out. Farmers are holding
back for ram before planting cotton. as
1t will be labor lost to sow seed Fears
are entertained OF famine in corn and
oats, and hence the price of the old crop
of corn is advancing. with nearly every
one holding on to all they have. So far
our vegetables are nearly total failure.
TheDallas market at any time this spring
has shown scarcely any at all. The sup
ply is getting less and less every day.
At the hour OF writing. the high and dry
winds which have prevailed tor three
weeks are still blowing, with no moist
ure or humidity in the air. and not a
cloud TO be seen in the heavens. The
situation is bad enough. II was never
worse, and has not been so bad in the
memories OF thirty years as it is now.
All hope Of wheat is about abandoned.
There is time enough, however. to make
cotton and corn crop ii we can get
rain. The drought covers all that por.
ton of country lying upon line o.
Denison and San Antonio, including
every county west of it, and an average
OF two tiers east. In portions OF this ter
ritory people are hauling water from
three to six; miles, and the cattle depend
upon the larger streams, all of which
are lower than can be remembered.

THE SINKING OF A MOUNTAIN.

On last Thursday night. the goth inst,
at 2 o'clock a. M, we had some very
heavy thunder and lightning. and ter
rible shaking was plainly felt. On the
next day it was found that the northeast
side of Chattanooga mountain tour miles
northeast of Tallulah. Habersham coun-
ty. Ca, sloping down to the Chattanoga
river at an angle of forty-five degrees,
the top OF the mountain being about
1.200 feet above the river. was gradually
sinking. A party of men visited the
mountain last Sabbath, and found that
1t was not sliding but sinking. There
was break near the top, and at one
place over the top of sloping ridge was
perpendicular rock, the depth OF which
was about sixteen feet and the extent
thirty or forty acres. The break was in
the shape of horse shoe, the toe being
at the top OF the mountain, Trees were
standing with their tops downward and
the roots up, and large stones were seen
on the mountain. About three years
ago we felt severe quaking at night.
The night was clear, and it was report
ed that Devils Pulpit" was shaken
down. An cid gentleman living near
this mountain informs us that large
crack was discovered about the time OF
the quaking, but little notice was taken
of it until recently. Some fear is mani
tested by those living near the mountain
1t is not uncommon in Florida for large
bodies of land TO sink, but don't think
it common in mountainous country, as
our mountains are nearly all composed
halt OF rock.-[ [Toccoa Herald.

In these days, when the papers are
filled with personal notices OF departures
of prominent citizens" for Leadville,
we think the Burlington Hawkeye puts
the brad in, exactly where 1t belongs.
He says: why is it," asks q cores
pondent. ''it Leadville is as bad place
as you describe it, that we never see any
of the people who GO there come back?"
oh. well. that is easily enough explain
ed. When young maa sets out for
Leadvile he arrays himself conspicuous
ly for day or two prior to his depar-
ture; then he has the fact OF his going
and the train he will take announced in
the village paper. and on the appointed
day he goes rafting down to the depot
in an open carriage, two hours before
train time. and swaggers up and down
the platform while he waits. and as he
goes off he leans out of the window and
yells personal goodbye to everybody
on the platform. But when he comes
back he times his return so as to strike
his native town by back road, after
dark, then he sneaks home through the
alleys. climbs over the back fence, taps
at the kitchen window and begs, under
his breath, to be let in; and when he
gets IN he stays in bed three or tour DAYS
while his new c'othes are being made.
and the doctor is trying to count the
blisters on his ieet. Oh. it's easy to ex-
plain why we never see them come back
but they do come back all the same. '

ANOTHER TRADITION SET ASIDE.

Early rising is generally supposed to
be conductive to health and happiness.
A German doctor. however, has arrived
at an opposite conclusion. He has col
lected information as to the habit in this
respect of several persons who have
lived to an advanced age. and finds that
in the majority of the cases the long
llvers have indulged in late hours. At
least eight out of ten persons who attain
ed the age OF eighty years and upwards
were in the habit OF not retiring to rest
until the early hours al the morning and
of remaining In bed until the day was
far advanced. On the other hand. he
has failed to discover, after careful OBJ
servation. extended over considerable
length of time OF the health of several
early risers, that it was in any degree
better than that of similar number OF
'.late risers," although the former. by
retiring to rest in good time, obtained
their full medicum OF sleep. He inclines
to the opinion that. so far from any de-
cided benefit being gained by getting ur
early in the morning, it rather tends to
exhaust physical power and to shorten
life. He has no doubt that 1t Is q mis-.
take to imagine that the most invlgorat
ing hours of the day are those OF the
early morning. On the contrary. they
are apt to produce lassitude. and the
health of morning" is to some constl
tutions tar more dangerous than that o

CHICAGO. April While Edwin
Booth was giving the soliloquy in the
last part OF Richard III, al McVicker's
theatre to night, shot was fred at him
by man sitting in the leit-hand upper
gallery. Booth sat still until in about
four seconds second shot was fired.

left wing OF the stage pointing out as he
went the would-be assassin. The latter
was at once seized, and but for the in
tervention of officers. would have been

name is Mark Gray; that he is % years
od.and is drygoods clerk of St Louis;
that he has been three years preparing
to do this deed. and is surprised that he
tailed; that his failure to kill Booth is
the only part of the attempt which he
regrets. He refuses to state the cause
of his action. but says his reasons will
be regarded as sufficient.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. April %. I8.

WASHINGTON, April p, 1879.
EDITOR INTELLIGENcER There has
been hardly courage enough-political
courage. 1 mean-among democratic
congressman. 1t has been the wise hope
OF republicans since the 18th OF March,
when this congress met, that such
compromise would be made on the sub,
ject of free ections and fair juries as
would amount to a back down on the
part of the democrats. Happily, that
hope will almost certainly fail. Senator
Bayard yesterday made carefully pre-
pared and convincing speech or the
army bill, taking the ground held by
the democratic caucus, that the soldier
should not control the voter, and that
congress should use efficient means to
prevent it. The senate will vote on the
bill this week.
Speeches IN the house for week past,
while interesting, have not been of the
same high char acter as in earlier days
of debate on the legislative bill. Mr..
Frye and other leading republicans have
spent their time in attempting to pro-

People who patronize papers should pay
promptly, for the pecuniary prospects of the
press have peculiar power in pushing for
ward public prosperity. Ii the printer is
paid promptly, and his pocket book kept
plethoric by prompt paying patrons, he puts
his pen to the paper in peace, his paragraphs
are more pointsI, he paints his pictures OF
passing events in more pleasant colors, and
the perusal of his paper is more pleasure to
bis people. Put this piece of proverbia
