From a private letter received from
Rev. W. NJ. Howell, we learn that he is
stationed at Fairfield Iowa, having
charge of large Presbyterian con
gregation at that place. Mr.. Howell
graduated here in 1874, since when
he has spent considerable time in
preparing for the ministry. When
at College, his essays were noted for
the elegance of their diction, their
logic and wit. We have much con-
fidence in him and have no hesitancy
in predicting his success in the
ministry.
Mr.. J. J. Fitch informs us that he
will 90 to Leadville, Colorado, about
the first of June and remain till fall.

The performance was decided
success. Still some features of the
debate might have been improved,
especially on the Affirmative. We
are glad TO note that this performance
was, as whole, much better than
the usual public exercises of this
kind. We hope that this may prove
an indication of still greater i'm
provement in the public performances
Of both Societies. After the close Of
the regular debate Hon. Geo. c. Stur-

tanned the audience with pleasing,
logical and convincing addresses.

RELIGIoUs.-Rev. Snodgrass deliv-
cred sermon last Sabbath on the
liquor traffic. This is the first step
taken by the temperance men and
may lead to more aggressive meas
ures. The evil attending the sale of
whiskey was graphically portrayed
and the unmistakable duty of church
members as well as. other temperance
people pointed out. We have no
doubt that this place will have license
during the ensuing year, but if it is
to be suppressed after that it is high
time to be up and doing.
President Thompson will occupy
Mr.. Snodgrass's pulpit next Sabbath,
the latter gentleman will hold a
quarterly meeting at Drummond
Chapel.
The sermon delivered in the Uni
versity Chapel last Sunday afternoon,
by President Thompson, was replete
with live thought and earnest express
sion. His theme was what is demon
mated by gentleman of Morgan
town as the era of the assassination
of character, or the alarming ex tent
to which the outrages of SANDER and
blackmail are carried. The sermon
was an excellent one and we wish
every resident of Morgantown had
been present. 1t seems that this
community is especially cursed with
a class of beings-we hope they are
few-who have not particle of re
gard for the characters of their fell
lows. If there is a special punish
ment in the future for any heinous
crime, it is certainly designed for the
slanderer and liar.
Next Sunday evening Rev. J. B.
Dickey will deliver sermon on Ii
cense in the Presbyterian church.
The ministers of the place are max
ing an effort to suppress license, but
have commenced the good work too
late for this year.

cd license for two years in succession,
and might, by following the same

for the next five years. But now that
we are to have licensed whiskey shops
in our midst for the next year, will
those who are in favor of carrying ON
the damning vice according to law,
see that the whiskey is sold accord

A TRAMP ON FIRE.-The Grafton
Eagle says: A middle-aged man
arrived at the station here last
Monday morning about half past
three o'clock, having stolen a
ride from Bellaire in an empty freight
car. After alighting from the
car he vert out the railroad about
half mile and started fire in front
of which he composed himself for a
nap. just about daylight he was
suddenly awakened too the knowledge
that he had crept too near the fire and
that his clothes were in a blaze. He
attempted at first to smother the
flames by rolling on the ground, but
unsuccessfnlly. Then he threw Off
his coat and tore off what was re-
naming of his shirts Che wore two. J
In this way he put the fire out. But
his hands were burned to a crisp and
his back was horribly baked. He
came to Br. Kohlhousen, suffering
overwhelmingly. The skin of his back
peeled of, and in some places the
burns were quite deep. The doctor
dressed the injuries and permitted
the poor fellow to lie in his Office un-
til Tuesday evening when Mr.. Reed,
the Supervisor of the Poor,. took him
in charge. The man is very badly
hurt but with careful nursing will re-
cover

THE boast of Englishmen, that
where floats the British flag, there
eau be no slave, is no longer justified.
Sir John Smale, Chief Justice of
Hong kong, has lately made dis
covely, and a rather remarkable one
to be made in British colony. He
has found that there exists within
the narrow limits OF the island-a
"dot in the ocean" some thirty miles
in circumference - no fewer than
10000 slaves. The news comes with
something like a surprise to English
men, who have long believed it i'm
possible that such a state of things
could exist under the British flag.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-05-22
THE NEW oRLEANs DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, MAY n, 1879

chants and planters to New Orleans, where
they consider that 1t properly belongs.
with proper railroad connections this city
should enjoy all that part Of the Texas export
and import trades which does not legitimate
Iy belong to her own chief seaport, Calves
ton. New Orleans oughtto have the shipping
of nearly all the enormous cotton crop Of the
State; should forward her grain exports to
foreign ports, and ship through the deep
water outlets OF her commerca her surplus
cattle to Europe. On the other hand, our
city should supply the State with all the
sugar needed In excess Of the amount pro
ducedby her own people, with coffee. rice and
oil articles Of foreign import.
It Is apparently matter Of false economy
for the people of Texas to patronze st. Louis
as Western produce and provision market.
A State Of such vast and illimitable agricul-
tural resources as Texas Is should certainly
be able to supply her own people; while she
produces grain for export she should Rrinu
flour for her own people; and while she LIS so
well adapted to, and advantageously SIT
uated for raising live stock, she should hard
ly be expected to depend upon remote
Northern market for beef and bacon.
or course New Orleans expects to re-estab-
lish her old traffic with the State, and, with
out assuming too much, our city can most
assuredly claim that 1t can handle and ship
the cotton and grain crops OF the great
Southwestern State at cheaper cost than
a city situated more than q thousand miles
from the seaboard It also claims that "
can supply the people of Texas with some
Of the staple productions OF this state,
with the imports from South America and
the West Indies, and with all Imported
foreign goods on far more advantageous terms
than can De offered by st. Louis and all other
Western and Northern cities
We have no doubt but that with early rail-
road connection established between this city
and the rich and productive sections OF Texas,
not only will our trade with that State regain
Its former dimensions and even far exceed
them In extent, but that 1t will be 81 such
magnitude as to exceed the most saDguine
expectations Of those who look forward TO the
| restoration of this intercourse as means to
further the advance Of the commercial pros
perity Of this city. @...z
Ultimately al experiments made, based
upon DETECTION of trade from the proper
channels through cirCuitOus routes and
among remote inland cities, must cease 81
meet with failure, while experience will finally
compel 1t to resort to the most available and
accessible markets.
New Orleans will be the great market FOL
Texas and the emporium of nearly all its
wealthy products when 1t shall be made easily
accessible to It's broad fields and closely con
nected with its thriving towns and cities.
