OLD RASGER.-The following anecdote is told
by the Chicago Journal of Governor Reynolds,
whom they call the "Old Ranger" in Illinois,
when for the first time in his life he visited the
seaboard as a Representative TO Congress from
the back settlements
Upon reaching Baltimore, the Governor rose
early in the moring and paid visit to the ship
ping at the docks, when the tide was full, and
again at noon, when il was at ebb-and not sat
isfed with the sudden change that had taken
place, again in the evening, when the tide was
in.
Heretofore he had resolved to keep everything
TO himself, and go in pursuit of knowledge I'M
der difficulties, on his own lookout now his as
constituent broke over its bounds, and as he re-
turned to the hotel, the old Ranger remarked
that "this was the curiousest country he ever
seed in his ife-tIrO freshets in one dGy-GHd nary

little old man known around the foot of
Woodward avenue "JOhn,' was yesterday
hunted up in the office where he works by
stranger, who said he came from Oswego, and
said he had bad news TO communicate. The
news was nothing less than the death of Johns
brother by drowning, which the stranger hap
pened TO be on hand to witness. Old John stood
for few minutes as if trying TO realize the full
extent Of the calamity, and then remarked:
'TPoor George, hadn't heard from him in ten
years. You say he fell off the wharfi'
''Yes; he was piling lumber, and his footing
gave way, and he went into the water

ed up and got a new hold of his shovel-handle

"Then, sir, tell me if my brother hurrahed for
Hancock or Garfield before he went down the

This struck the stranger for a minute, but he
answered by saying that George didn't hurrah
for either of the candidates. as he heard.
"Maybe not, maybe not" sighed the old man (;

A bad Sidewalk.

There is bad sidewalk on Bryan street,
between Oleander and Masten. 1t perhaps
was originally intended for concrete, but
is now sharp rocks, which blister and bruise
and render sore every foot that tresds them.
A layer of broken bottles, or shower of

be much worse to the luckless people who
have n pass over it. A few cart loads of
dirt would remedy the nuisance,
and if the city engineer will

The ladies of tht city, with zeal far out
striyn c the miserable supineness of the
ste. fer.ex of Dallas have determined to have
library here for the public use and educa'
ton, and what is more, it is well understood
by all sensible men they will have the afore-
said library before they "round up" in their
commendable undertaking. They propose
to set up" with the enlightened community
in the way Of concerts, fairs, shows, readings,
oyster suppers, clam bskes, and every variety
of entertainment until sufficient fund is
realized to purchase books and periodicals to
satisfy and stimulate the tastes for reading
Can there BIO more commendabe object +?
Can the enterprise DO in better hands! Our
young men must have other sources OF ENJOY
ment than the saloon an the billiard hall.
There is not in the city of Dallas (ouIside
of the benevolent tacieties) place where a
man can spend bis leisure hours without very
broad infractons Of the moral code. Shall
this state of affairs continue? The ladies have
said that the opportunity shall be afforded
all persons of gratifying a literary taste in
oreasing their stock of useful Information
and vastly improving their facilities OF social
enjoyment. Their edict has gone
forth and obedience follows
last night, they gave their first supper and
concert, and We are glad to chronicle sue
cess. Mrs. Leper and all the ladies assist
ing in the good work, realize the fact that
they have made good start and feel encou-
ragged to renew and redoube their efforts.

There is discousglng lack of enterprise
among the papers of Texas. A number of
them have yet said nothing to induce people
to bring suits against them for libel, though
nothing is easier. In fact, the only suit of the
kind that has appeared thus far this week is
little one for ten thousand dollars, against
the Dallas Herald, for having printed an in
nocent paragraph. Ten thousand dollars is
all that is demanded by the plaintiff, for this
gross libel on his courage and veracity,
which seems to constitute his total pecuniary
assets. 1t is unfortunate for the Herald and
the officers of the court, If not for himself,
that he has not enough ready money to pay
his own costs. This is but another instance
Of the prevailing disposition to bulldoze the
Texas press by means of libel suits. 1t is not
more ridiculous than other suits of the kind
