Commander Cheyne, who stole Prof
Wise's thunder in regard to the feasibility oil
balloon expedition to the North Pole, ha'
issued his prospectus, asking the English
people to. subscribe. Commander Cheyne
proposes to travel by sledges to some of the
Arctic bays, and estimates that the balloons
would reach the Pole in thirty or forty hours
after leaving the sledges. After weeks
soiourn at the Pole, Commander Oheyne is
quite confident in having favorable winds; so
sure, indeed, that he intends to dispatch a
balloon to Russia, "for the purpose of tele-
graphing the news to England" Oomman,
der Cheynes plan embraces three aerial
ships; the other two would return to the
fssel or to the depots left at the highest
points reached by the sledging parties. This
part of the programme is to be explained
more fully by the famous aeronsut, Mr.. Cox
well. Cheyne's plan differs from that OF
Prof. Wise who intended to make an air voy-
age from Kansas City to the Pc and re-
turn or send back news by Times reporter

Pursuant TO u call a Democratic Stat,
convention Is to be hold in Galveston, April
Goth next, to select delegates to the National
Democratic convention. 1t Is a matter of thu
greatest importane that Texas should be
properly represented in that body, and Ia
order that the people be represented in their
sovereign capacity II is necessary that they
interest themselves in the selection Of dele
gates 10 tho State convention. In
many counties of the State the Demo-
Gratis are without any effective organization,
notably is that the case in this county. At
the last election many men who claim to be
Democrats bolted the nominees and took an
independent shoot voting for Republican and
Greenback candidates. This is all wrong
and should be avoided in the future-thc
way to avoid it Is by thoroughly organizing
the party this can only be done by the indi-
vidual members; they must of necessity at
tond the primary meetings and sec to 1t that
the right kind Of men are sent as delegates 10
the various conventions

There is no better indication Of the ad-
ysnced civilization and refinement Of people
than refinement and gentleness to domestic
animals. Show us a man VINO is kind to bis
horse or his dog and we will not ere in claim
ing him for heart full of sympathy and love
for his fellow beings. A gentleman is gentle
to all created things, and especially gentle TO
dumb creatures that cannot give voice to
their complaints, or plead for mercy when
imposed upon. If all men were gentlemen
therefore, there would be no need for societies
for the prevention of cruelty to animals, or
for laws to make such cruelty n
crime, but fortunately mankind, while
Enthusiastically progressing and becoming
more and more civilized, retain enough of
the savage instinct to require the restraining
influences of legal enactments to compel q
Just regard and consideration for those do
nestle animals which, in so many ways, con-
tribute to the comfort and happiness OF the
world There are in all communities men
who habitually and shamefully msltreat their
animals and who seem to think dumb
brute entitled to no consideration whatever
mere thing to be kicked and beaten and
starved and fretted; n beast that
must perform, day after day what
ever labor or service is demanded of it
with cheerful alacrity. Fortunately, there
are ALWAYS to be found as offsets to these
human brutes, persons whose hearts go out
in warm sympathy for the aforesaid animals,
and who take deep and active interest in
their welfare. Bergh, after encountering a
storm ofobloquy and ridicule, and enduring
both with patience and courage that were
heroic, has won for himself a proud name rs
benefacter of those speeches. creatures.
whose sufferngs enlisted his pity and caused
him to iaaugurate movement in their be-
half which has already accomplished infinite
good and which has had the effect OF induc-
ing thousands of persons to reflect upon tho
impolcy as well as the inhumsnity ofneed-
lessly torturing their animals.
