false amber can be produced SO like
the real that the most experienced eyes
may be deceived. The genuine article
is simplya Il fossil resin, and the imitators
starting from that point have adopted
as the basis Of their ialsifcations fresh
resins, which they treat in such II man
ner as to give their products all the uD-
pearancc and most OF the qualities Of
the true article. The most esteemed

substance becomes LIQUID at Il much

the rcnl article is only slightly attached

AGRICULTURE.

The EVAPORATION OF FRUIT,-Mul-
titudcs of men Of great intelligence do
not seem to understand the difference
between eyaporatcu and dried fruit.
They are almost incredulous whom told
that evaporatcd fruit sells ut two and
three times the price of dried, especial
ly that which is dried in the sun. Yet
such Is the fact. The demand for eva-
poratcd fruit Is largely for export.
Will. the bright and beautiful color of
evapOratcd fruit greatly recommends 1t
chief recommendation. If it were so,
sun-Gricd fruit might be beached by
sulphurous acid gas, or chlorine, to
make itlnquircd after. Take OIL peach
es, for example, fOrty-eight hours be-
tore they are fully ripe; dry half of
them either in the sun, or in an oven,
or dryer not phil0sophically construc-
ted, and the other half in IL phIlosoph-
cal eYaporator and the cVaporated
fruit will be found to contain from ten
to fifteen per cent. more Of sugar than
the dried; besides the flavor will be so
different that any person Can perceive
the superior excellence # the cvapora-
tod. Drying fruit is removing the na-
tural juices, either in the sun, in an
oven, or in dry air. The outside is

the natural juices, while the fruit is
kept in air saturated with moisture.
This is important to remember, if dis
appointment at results IS to be avoided.
To remove the natural juices while the
fruit remains in moist air, is to convert
the starch Of the fruit into sugar with
great rapidily-rcducing the time of
ripcning from forty-cighr to five or six
hours. The heat of the chamber in
which tho fruit is placed, tile moisture
evolved, the increased electrical cur
rent, all tend to this result. TO secure
most perfectly the full flavor Of evap-
grated fruit, the trays or hurdles must
be placed III i hot air chamber heated

sufficient radiating surface to produce a

dies is placed above it for about ten
minutes, or until it is heated through.

ued until the hot air chamber Is filled

fee, and you will fail to tell what discon-
nected items must be put together so us to
arrive at accurate results, In the column of
receipts for taxes of 1879 the monthly pay
ments foot up 5000 more than the comp
troller's "totals' for that column. The gov
ernor says the different departments have DIFF
feront modes of keeping accounts. Possibly
the different modes of keeping accounts"
occasioned n frolic of figures, and it might
be well enough for the next Democratic con-
vention to nominate officers who practice
the same system of bookkeeping. The gov
ernor has the right to call for reports from
the different departments, andit is important
that he exercise that power in getting re-
port that will give satisfaction. The people
want to know the sources from whence come
our revenue; they want to know the amount
collected on occupations.

The Democratic Nominees.
Wuxuhachie Enterprise.


The selection of Garfield aud Arthur as
the Republican candidates, the one from
Ohio and the other from New York, sug-
gests the motives which will probably con-
troll the selection Of the Democratic nomi-
nees. New York and Ohio are both regarded
by both parties rs doubt ul pivotal states.
That the Republican ticket was framed with Il
view to this contingency and to rally, through
every possible motive, the greatest attainable
strength in each is evident. The same con-
sideration will doubtless control the selection
of the Democrats In our opinion then the
vice.president will most probably Thur
man and possibly Bishop.
AS to the presidential selection, we be-
lieve that, in order to obtain the strongest
man in New York, he must come from some
other state. The internal discussions, pref
udices and bitter personal animosites exist
ing within the Democratic organization in
that state will dictat such course. This at
least is the present impression of all Demo-
Gratis outside of that state. Should this be
the impression of the convention when it as
sembes and compares notes, we believe that
Bayard will be our nominee. Should it be
thought however that Tilden could carry
that state, then we consider his nomination n
toregone conclusion. We think nothing but
a well grounded fear that he might be unable
to carry New York, can possibly prevent the
nomination of Tilden.

Our State Officials.
Graham Leader

The report Of the comptroller, which was
published last March in the Galveston News,
Occasloned great deal OF severe criticism bv
the press of Texas. 1t was not an intelligi-
bic report, and the governor succeeded in
getting supplemental report, which was de-
signed to lay before the people plain state
last report, by making n distinction between
"expenses" and "ex enditures," showed that
tn re was 40 very or at difference between
Governor Roberts aud Gcv rnor Hubbard
relative to the actual expet ses of running the
government. The Galveston News and Dial
las HERALD have criticised that portion of
the report which makes distinction between
Expenses and expenditures" Notwith-
standing the large circulation of these two
papers they have failed to elicit any explana-
ton from the governor or comptroller.
There is some cause for complaint that the
governor does not cause an Ineligible re-
port to be made In his letter to CITIZENS of
Galveston, referring TO the report of state Of
Ulcers, the governor says:
Those reports have been misunderstood,
and the motives for calling for them have
been misconstrued by many persons, as it has
been exhibited in the press of the state. One
reason for this is a Misrepresentation of terms,
IS, for instance, in taking expenditures" in
the comptrollers report to mean and repre-.
sent 'expenses," and another reason is, thai
che subdivision Of the operations of the gov
ernment into different departments, and the
modes Of keeping accounts in each, make il
necessary often to examine into the reports OF
several of them ana put together items tina,
are disconnected, so as to arrive at accurate
results upon any one subject.
A private explanation may have beer
made TO the governor, showing the differ.
enee, in financial report, between expense:
and expenditures, but we cannot see why the
taxpayer should be kept in the dark.
There is, however, another part of the
above extract that deserves attention. TIL,
governor tells us that we must compare tn,
reports "and put together items that are dis
connected, so as to arrive at accurate result:
upon any one subject" If the governor will
compare the report Of the secretary of stat,
with that of the comptroller he will find tina
the former reports for the s'sale of revised
statutes" Sl,8S959, but the comptrolle
only reports for sale Of revised stat
utes, Sl,66050. The secretary of state is il
excess Of the comptroller more than 10 ne
cent Compare the comptroller's repor
with that Of the commissioner Of the land Of

Texas scholars


The iewelled sceptre OF the scholarship OF
Texas to-day seems to be passing into the
hands of young men of the state, AS notice
able examples we may mention the names Of
Charles b. Stuart. of Marshall, James G..
Garrison, of Henderson, and Dudley G.,
Wooten of Austin. The first Of these has
Just delivered an address before the literary
societies of Waco university, in commenting
upon which the Examiner remarks that il
was the finest ever delivered at the UNIVERSE
ty, and says that Mr.. Stuart is a gentleman
of the highest literary attainments, and, as
an orator, has few equals in the state. MIR,
Garrison is shortly to address the students OF
the Sam. Houston institute, ut Huntsville, at
their commencement celebration, and Mr.,
Wooten is to perform the same honorable
task for the literary societies of the State A.
and Nj. college. They will both, doubtless,
win ms brilliant laurels as did Mr.. Stuart AT
Waco.
The names of these gentlemen are men
toned, not SO much to do them honor per-
sonaly, but simply as types of the rapidly
improving scholarship Of the state in which
there are many moro as worthy. The fact
that young gentlemen are chosen to adorn
those exalted and honorable offices ut the
commencement exercises Of the college in
Texas, that are ii lied in the older states by
distinguished orators and statesmen who are
far advanced in years, shows conclusively
that the realm of oratory and Of letters, like
the ermine of justice, and the baton Of poll
tics, is rapidly passing from oldor to younger
hands

The Rockdale Messenger relates an incl
dent which it says is vouched for as true al
belt highly tinged with romance, Some few
years since farmer, who for twenty three
years had resided near Bastrop, was upon his
death.bed. During the night a messenger
called upon a prominent merchant Of Bas-
trop whose name we could give but need
not, and informed him that the dying man
entreated his presence at his bedside. The
merchant had but slight acquaintance with
the man and maryelle rs to the object Of Il
request SO urgent, Upon reaching the house
the wife aud family, who were gathered
around the bedside, were dismissed, and the
merchant ana farmer, whose life was fast ebb-
ing away, left alone. The dying man then
told what he had to say. He settled in Texas
at an 'arly day. Jews ut that time were few
in number and not held Unpopular favor He
WAS of Jewish parentsge, but had concealed
the religion Of his fathers, married christian
woman and lived happy with her, but could
not die without making confession. The
Jewish prayer,
"Ilear, Oh Israel, our God Is the only ore,"
was repeated and then the spirit of the man
passed away, and his children do not know
to this day that their father was jew,
