For Mhnt Its worth.

A rumor reached his city last night
which, by the way, sounds very much like a
ghost story, that y stockman named Parker
was stabbed and killed Thursday by his
herder, Clark Archer, at Palc Pinto canyon,
on the line OF tho Texas s. Pacific road. The
story goes that Parker wagered his herder
$500 that Hancock, tho democratic nominee
for president, would carry the state of New
York, and on Parker's insisting on awaiting
the official count, Archer had assaulted him,
stabbing him four times in the abdomen,
killing him almost instantly, when he fed the
country. This is given for just what it is
worth, and no more.

Fairbanks scales

The United States government has adopt.
cd the Fairbanks scale as its standard. Con.
tracts have recently been awarded this cele-
brated scale firm by the treasury department,
the Indian department and the postofiice de-
martment, Trials of other scales which have
been offered at lower rates, have been I'M
satisfactory, and the United States Govern
ment has endorsed the opinion of he weig'-
ing public generally, that the superior quail,
ty Of the Fairbanks Scales .renders them
more economical than scales of inferior DUAL.
ity, which are offered at lowe, prices. The
business Of the Messrs. Fairbanks is rapidly
increasing, and their factories, which are the
largest of their kind in the world, are being
enlarged to meet the demands of the Weigh
ing public.
We note the above, from the N. o. Times
of Nov. Q, 1880, with pleasure, being per-
sonally acquainted with Mr.. G. @. Nunnelly,
representing the New Orleans house in this
state, with headquarters in Dallas, and who
takes great deal of pleasure in attending to
the wants of those who intend purchasing
tirst-class scales.

Old winter has put in rather q previous
appearance this season. Yesterday forenoon
a stiff northcr prevailed which was accom-
panic first by cold rain, then sleot, ald It
finally resulted in snow.storm, which con-
tnued until near nightfall. Had the ground
been dry, there would have been at least
three inches cf snow on the ground, but so
soon as they fell the flakes were melted by
the moist earth and the "beautiful snow"
was turned into slush. This is the earliest
snow that has visited this section, so say old
inhabitants, since the Oath of October 1861,
when it covered the ground to the depth cf
five inches. 1t but seldom SHOWS here until
the latter part of December, and then the
snowfall is much lighter than that which fell
yesterday. 1t swept over this section like
the Garfield simeon, carrying with it
gloomy chiiiuess.
Tho fall was general over this section, and
the farther west it extended the heavier it
WIS. At Eastland City, near the terminus
Of the Texas &'Pacifc road, the fall was ten
inches, the deepest snow that ever WAS
known to fill Ut This season, in that c.
ton.

the members of Congress or State
Senators and Judges of the Superior
and inferior Courts: he is not "His
Excellency," like Governors and
Ambassadors. He is simply "The
President" This not a matter oi
usage, but it has been settled by
Congress. A proposition was made

with the most favor was "His High
ness the President of the United
States and the Protector of their
Liberties" But after discussion it
was decided that the title should be

and said: 1Et

The Democrats and John Sher-
man.

From the New York Tribune (Rep.)
For nearly quarter of century
the Democracy have been trying to
kill off John Sherman. They have
made him the target for all their
mud batteries and have not hesitated
to repeat every lie and scandal con-
cocted to blacken his record. They
are doubtless convinced by this time
of their ignominious failure. For
of all the men who have been with
the Republican party during the
past twenty-fiv years, and who have
borne their full share in fighting its
battles and never shirked a duty,
no one stands higher with the peo-
pie to-day than the present Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The Democ-
racy had better train their dirt
engines on some other man.
