Logging seemed to be the principal
business, and labor chiefly sought to
get ont logs and cross ties. The health
Of the country was generally good.

gregation ON the Sabine, that seldom
heard preaching. Mr.. Harvey kindly
brought me here in his wagon. q have
written TO ex-Gov. Flanagan about the
prospects of the contemplated railroad
from Henderson, Texas, to Lake Charles.
The proposed route is through the
6nsst timber region in the south, and
is two hundred miles nearer New Or
leans than the present road for north
eastern Texas. i think this road win
be built soon.
The railroad bridge for Tire Sabine
river, on yonr railroad, is at Houston,
awaiting the construction of a side
track TO run it out on. The college
building here adds much to the appear
ance of Orange, and the college will be
of great benefit if Its faculty Is selected |
withsa view to the moral as well as
mental improvement of the students.
The new railroad depot is about to be
erected near the college.
Last Sunday there were two Sunday
schools here and five sermons---the hat

Campbellite and one Episcopal, preach
ers. Good order, and attention to the
religions services, were observed by the |
congregations. Yours, It. LIS.

ties ran separate tickets for Governor, but

ative nominations The greenback diversion

BILE Therefore. ii was with delicious assur-
ancc that he told the Georgia reporter that
the democrats of Maine were for hard money
and when he added that the greenback party
was ian intermediate station" for the temper
rary entertainment of men who want to pass
from the republican party to the democracy,
he must have left the hapless interviewer in
a state of mental confusion quite equal to his
own. Here was democratic Governor, a
consorter with greenbackers, and friendly to
greenbackism as a bridge over which to pa IS
into the democratic party, yet claiming to be
a firm supporter of hard money and unaltera-
blv opposed to an irredeemable currency. How
will SCION Chase and his fellow greenbackers
like this sort of talk from the man whom
they have helped to make Governor? 1t is
easy TO see how Gov. Garcelon, who, of
course, went South with determination to
see for himself whether the ex-slaves were
ll-reated should not have had a fair chance
to investigate this matter. Naturally, his
open-handed and hosptable entertainers
would not be willing to shock his sensibiities
by inviting him to midnight whipping or a
negro-hunt in the swamps. He would be GER

Gratis in Maine what he had seen. Such is
the perversity of human nature, they might
believe him. But, really, the Governor
should not belittle greenbackism by referring
to il as a halfway house for recreant republi-
cans. He should speak more respectfully OF
the bridge that has carried him over, even
though he does see nothing in the South but

Senator Thurman's Failure.

Senator Thurman's speech in the Senate
in favor of the repeal OF the Jurors Test
Oath and the Federal Election laws was a
failure-the weakest effort of his life His
democratic associates were all in their
places at the commensurate of his remarks
to give him a good send-off, but before he
closed the Senate chamber was nearly
empty. In one part of his speech he man
ifested great deal of indignation about
the appointment of supervisors and depu-
ty marshals to oversee the federal elections
in New York, and in another was
almost as indignant because the test oath
remains to trouble some of the unregener-
ate rebels. The bullies, shoulder-htters
and repeaters of New York ought to be
exceedingly grateful to the Senator for his
sympathy and efforts to allow their valua-
BILE faculties in carrying elections against
superior numbers full sway; while the
rebels who are excluded from serving up
on juries and thereby have increased oppor-
tunty to Cypress the colored man ought
to be as thankful as the New York roughs
for tavors received. These two classes
the Tammany ballot-box stuffer and the
bulldozing unregenerate rebel. are the
classes that the Ohio Senator defended, and
for whom his manly breast throbbed with
Indignation and his eyes moistened with
sympathetic tears. These are the classes
upon which the democratic party depends
for success in 1880, and why, therefore,
should not Mr.. Thurman, with his hopes
of being the democratic candidate for the
Presidency plead their cause with tears in
his eyes9 The following picture of Mr..
Humans clients, drawn by Horace
Greeley, well describes these innocents.
Mr.. Greeley said: Point wherever
you please to an election district
(Which you will pronounce morally rotten,
given up in great part to debauchery and
''vice, whose voters subsist mainly by
keeping policy offices, gambling houses,
''grog-shops and darker dens of infamy,
land that district will be found at nearly
''or quite every election giving a major
lily for that which styles itself the demo-
''cratic party. Take all the haunts of de-
"bauchery in the land, and You will find
.'nine-tenths of their master spirits active
'partisans for that same democracy.
'.What is the instinct, the sympathetic
"chord which attaches them so uniformly
Ito this party? VIII you consider" And
again this same Horace Greeley in 1871
said: 1.-The brain, the heart, the soul of
1.-THE present democratic party is the rebel
element at the South, with its northern
"allies and sympathizers. 1t is rebel at
1.-THE core to-day. 1t would come into
power with the hate, the chagrin, the
wrath, the modification of ten bitter wears
"to impel and guide its steps. Whatever
"chastisement may be deserved by our
national sins, we must hope that this
disgrace and humiliation will be spared
"us." These words apply as well to the
democratic party to-day as in 1871

Somebody has told the joke on a
military colonel during the war that
on one occasion he drew his regi-
ment up along a river bank to at
tack a Federal gunboat. The gun
boat began pouring in broadsides,
and knocked the sand bank all to
pieces, when, finding his position
untenable, our colonel gave the
unique but effective command, "Un-
bank and sedge." Directly, how
ever, the shells began falling too
thickly in the sedge, and he shout
ed, "Unsedge and bresh.". Even
here the fire was too hot, and the
underbrush was being torn all in
tatters. Unable to stand the pres
sure any longer, he shrieked, "Un.
bresh and squander," and the way
the boys made themselves scarce
was a caution. Il

A widow, still in the flower of
womanhood, thin, thoughtful and
80, with six small children, was left
by her late husband a dowry of ESQ
a year, to be paid to her so long as
she did not marry. The executors
of the will being managers of the
estate do not want to prolong the
business, and to be responsible for
o yearly payment until the widow
dies, and they have suggested to
her that she should take lump
sum instead Of an annual payment.
Not only is she ready to consent,
but the Court Of Chancery is wiling
the Modification Or the viii.
only it cannot discover what sum
ought to be paid. A. case has been
ordered to be stated for the opinion

six children and dover of ESQ per

An Outlaw with q Gold Tooth.

An OuCAaW Win q 6OlO 4OOtus
The man with gold TOOTH is
at present the terror of the frontier.
His real name is Middleton. he
began his career as an outlaw in
1877 at Sydney, Neb., where he
killed man in a dance house, and
in the courts of which place he was
convicted of murder. He escaped
from Sydney, organized band of
robbers, plundered, burned and
murdered until the fall of 1877,
when he was logged in Jail, only to
tunnel himself out with coal scut-
tie. Reorganizing with fifty men,
he stole 5000 head of cattle from
the Ponca Indians. The robbers of
a German settlement on the , Elk.
horn led to hot pursuit by squad
Of horsemen. The trail was fol-
lowed for three days. On the
morning of the fourth day the Ger.
mans awoke to find their pickets
murdered and every : horse stolen.
In firing at Sheriff Groner in
Keith's rancho the man with the
gold tooth shot off one of his own
fingers, but escaped. He gets his
name from a front upper tooth
made entirely Of gold. He is thir.
ty-five years old, six feet tall, and
wears q fierce black moustache, un.
der which the tooth shines like O
kernel of corn. Two needle guns,
four revolvers and two dirks make
up his armament.
