WoMAN'S INFLUENCE ON SOCIAL LIFE.
Men, as rule, arc easily attracted to
beautiful face, but still it is an internal
beauty of character by which a woman can
exert the greatest amount Of influence
\ true minded man, though at first cnam-
ored by the glare Of personal beauty, will
soon feel the hollowncss of its charms when
he discovers the lack of beauty in the mind.
lnestimably great is the influence q sweet
minded woman may WELD over those around
her. 1t is 10 her that her friends would
come in seasons Of sorrow or sickness for
help and support--onc soothing touch Of
her kindly hand would work wonders on
the fcvnrsh chil1; few words let fall
from her lips in the ear Of a sorrowing Sis
ter would do much 10 raise the load of grief
which is bowling the victim down to tho
dust in anguish. The husband comes homo,
worn out with the pressure of business and
feeling irritable with the world in general;
but when he enters the cosy sitting room
and sees the blaze of the bright fire, his
| slippers placed by loving hands in rcadi-
ness and meets his wifes smiling face, ho
succumbs in q moment to the soothing in
iiuenccs, which act as the balm Of Gilead
on his wounded spirits, that arc wearied
with combating with the stern realities of
life. The rough school boy flies in rage
from the taunts of his companions to find
solace in his mothers smile the little one,
full of grief with its own large trouble,
finds haven of rest on its mothers breast,
and so one might 80 on with instances of
the influence a sweet minded woman has in
the social life with which she is connected

CRIME IN New ENGLAND.-New Haven, Octo-
Der 5.-Mrs. Martha Baldwin poisoned her i'm

When great crime is committed at the South,
the Northern press charge it against the whole
community in which the crime is committed, and
boldly present it as "another evidence of the
awful condition Of Southern morals and South

A CAREER OF DISSIPATION ENDED

A CAREER OF DISSIPATION ENDED.-
4 young man named Frank Hayward, 81
years Of age, and with an income of S1O,-
600 year, committed suicide in his house
in New York on Monday night by shooting
himself through the right temple Short
ly before midnight he returned home,
accompanied by two young men. He was
very much under the influence of lionor.
He went up to his room, and saying that
he was tired Of life, picked up his revolver
and shot himself, and death speedily cnsucd.
For years, it is said, young Hayward had
led very dissipatcd life. His parents

the deaf and dumb. In this progress
sive age such motives are rather scarce.
In fact, our friend, this unexampled
disinterestedncss is in the language OF
the poet, 'tOO thin, my friend, too
thin" and again to prove that there
are others OF the board terribly and
equally disinteTested, one of the
signers of the aforesaid pathetic
appeal sells to the superintendent
dry goods and groceries; and of
course out CT pure disinterested sf-
lection for the unfortunate mutes and
the State of Texas, these goods are
sold below cost. The dear people,
to whom your pathetic appeal was di-
rected, will appreciate thoroughly
your disinterested defense of yourself
and patron.
To the other gentleman who signed
the appeal, We would remark that his
evidence before the committee showed
that he knew as much about the man
agemeDt of the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum as Horace Greeley knew, about
farming. The immaculate three
further say, 1--WE DO not believe the
evidence justified or sustained the con-
illusions embodied in the minority re-
port" The subcommittee are satis-
fed as to that part which refers to the
superintendent. The conclusions in
regard to the trustees are founded on
their own evidence, and such being
the case they may be better judges of
the weight of it. In this. case we
take IL that the trustees who are inter-
ested, however small that interest
may be, are not the proper persons to
judge of the management.
To dispense justice fSirly and i'm
partially they would be forced to ex-
ercise more genuine heroism than has
ever been exercised since the days of
Leonidss. We hurl back in the teeth
of the immaculate three the covert in
suit contained in their concluding par
sgraph. Only writers who are de-
feated in controversies or lacking in
argument descend to the use of cpl
thets and senseless inuendoes. In con-
ciusIon, we refer to the Gazette and
say that the hearty condemnation of
that little sheet is our justification,
and had We any qualms of conscience
the knowledge that the Gazette is
against the report would quiet them
all. Its opposition to any measure is
the best evidence of the correctness
thereof, The lion has been tackled,
and herewith we dispense with three OF

Coll, LANG, in published address
20 the farmers of Texas, deplores the
steady decrease of personal and public
wealth. he ascribes the painful fact
to unrighteous systems of Federal tax
alton, which pluck from unconscious
pockets through every species of indi-
rection. The custom house exists to
rob agriculture, and then State legis-
latures forget, when the volume of cur
rency Is reduced one-half, that rates of
taxation must be equally lessened. On
the contrary, the purview of taxation
Is greatly expanded, and even though
II be. made to reach railways and
sleeping coaches, all these finally
escape by fastening their losses upon
the producers Of the country. Taxa
tioD,. in its last analysis, is the sweat
Of the farmer. Fix 1t where and how
you may, It comes at last out of the
ground and impoverishes him who digs
IND plows and mows. Col. Lang
should insist that the Legislature rec
ognize these facts, and until the nor
NAL condition Of industrial facts be re-
produced the wet weather schools
should cease to- exist and the States
lugubfious war department be no
mors. The people everywhere in
Texas except in very narrow districts,
demahd this legislative action, without
which burdens Of taxation and the
nnblic debt cannot be lessened.
