met at tho came moment at the
egress gate of the Methodist camp
grounds on Sunday, the 7th Instant Dallas
county, Texas. Such an incident, to US, was
frsught with the most thrilling recollections
and vivid memories. With one impulse We
instantaneoIsly realized hositustion clasped
hands and after this long lapse Of years were
comrsde soldiers Oncs again. Incidents,
pleasing and sad, of camp and campaign,
were rehearsod, and had vs. been clad III cur
rags of gray we doubtless you'd have, from
sheer force of habit, gone Tito bivouAc once
more. As it Nss, veteran like, we could
only fight our battles over again
and separated. feeling that 1t

providence of God, or the course of human
events, this pleasing incident would ever be
repeated.
If this should como to the notice of our

will suggest TO him the privilege, and may be
duty, of once more sounding the revelle

BILE trip. Their reI OF reads as follows
| To the Hon, Commissioners Court OF Dallas
county, Texas;
10 accordance with resolution passed by
your court, the undersigned, visited and
personally inspected the j4ils at Palestine,
Austin, San Antonio and Galveston, and
now beg leave TO report what is in their
opinion, the best, safest and most comforts
able csges for prisoners. The jails at Pal.
eStl aud San Antonio have cells furnished
BY 2. }. Panley Il Bro, of 81. Louis, The
Austin cages are constructed of round per
pendieulars l-S inches in diameter, placed
inches from Center 10 center; with fiat,
longitudinal bars three and three eighths

ton, tho cells sre made of fat iron, cross
barred, similar to the Psnley patent but
very defective in the riveting, while the cor
ridors are made OF pattern like that Of
the Austin jail above described.
The committee, aside from their own OBJ
servaIiop, made many and various inquiries
OF the ailors and guards at tho cities above
mentioned, rs to the relative merits of iron
and steel cages for the safe keeping and com
fort of prisoners, and slso interviewed them
AS TO the best locking apparatus. Before
We started upon our tour OF inspection, a
majority of the undersigned had formed an
opinion adverse to the Pauley patent. as they
though, there was lack of ventilation in
the cages made by said firm. After a most
thorough and complete investigation OF tbe
several modes Of constructing cells, they are
firmly and decidedly convinced that the Z.
j. Psuley Sc Brothers system of
manufacturing cells ia superior to
any other used in the state &
Texas, for safety and comfort ard for dura-
bility as well as for the most complete and
practical locking arrangement.
We therefore recommend to this court,
with one or two slight notifications, the
adoption of the entire Pauley system for
the cages to be placed 10 the new Jail.
The undersigned regret tina. sickness pre-

we have just returned, as not thing WAS

A correspondent writes US that "th'
strength of Lampasas in the university cleo.
Ajnn will be greatly increased by the fact tina
her claims are advocateu by persons in all
parts of the state who have visited it for their
health and know its advsntsges." A cor
respondent of the Sherman Courier,Chronl-
Gle says:
"Permit me through you columns to briefly
state some of the re sons why the univeriIy
should not be located at Austin, Tyler or
Waco, but should be located at Lsmpsssa,
the only candidate in the fold thht is free
from objection.
1t should not be located at Austin be-
cause all the departments of the state are
located there, and II any benefits are to &C
crue to the place where it is located, they
should fall to some ether place than Austin.
II should not be located at Austin, because
there the students would be surrounded with
civil influences, which would ruin their moral
aud render them unit for anything, and the
minds of the students would be there dis
tracled from their studies by the gsyety,
Rmusements snd dissipation of the city.
II should not be located at Waco, because
ii is notcriously one of the most sicklY cities
in the state.
1t should not be located at Tyler, because
that city is too far removed from the centre
of the state, and common justice demands
that the university be located near the centre
of the state.
1t should not be located at Tyler, because
that place is in malsrisl country, and
many Of its inhabitants are compelled to
leave their homes every summer and go to
Lampasas or other health resorts to restore
their health, which has been broken down
by malarisl diseases.
The only place in nomisation that is free
from objec ion, is Lsmpasas, and it should
be located there, because:
l. 1t is within few miles of 'he goo,
graphical ceGtre of the state.
2. Building material is there abundant and
cheap.
3. L! would, on account of the chespness
of living, not cost more than half rs much
to educate student there as it would at the
other pscea.
4. 1t is 1900 feet above the sea, has not a
s!agnant pool within forty miles of it, and
justly deserves It's reputation OF being the
greatest health resort in the state.
8. 1t ia sbundanIly supplied with water by
great number of very largo mineral and
other springs.
6. II is free from The vice and crime COM
mon to larger cities.
I. In few months it will be accessible
from all parts of the 3iste by rail.
If it is located in either of the Other places,
there will be danger of the students having
either their health or morals destroyed, but
Tlocated at LsmpasHs, the students will
como forth from the institution sound in
mind and body, and able TO perform all the
duties required Of them as citizens.

from the malprsctice Of the surgeons

a critical point IT, determine, and
perhaps Che highest and most cole
bratcd surgeons Of the United States
will he called TO testify in the case.
IF Gariel.f,s death was caused by
malpractice, it should be made
known. DR.. Bliss was the surgeon
called to attend ex-senator and ex-I

his death is attributed in part to his
negligence. But this does not abate

There II scarcely town in Louisiana
wilere canned oysters from Baltimore
cannot be found cheap and in abund-
ance. The packing trade of Baltimore
is enormous. The canning of oysters,
fruit and vegetables gives annual en-
Eployment to about twenty Thousand
hands; forty million cans are packed,
Eand the amount realized annually is
put down at ten million dollars. While
this is the case, the bays and inlets of
Louisiana are filled with choice and
delicious oysters of the finest flavor,
land millions of dollars could be saved
TO Louisianians by engaging in the
business of canning for market here
lat home. There are other items Of
interest to which we might call atten-
|tion in this connection. The practice
|of using all over the State condensed
milk where cows are at large by the
million; and the practice Of importing
pepper sauce while the finest pepper
for sance in the world can be grown in
abundance all over the State. Nor are
these all. Scarcely anything in the
way of living is needed that Louisiana
does not furnish in abundance. The
best livers we have are those who reside
Tar away from the thoronghfases, and
are thrown upon their own resources,
and therefore avail themselves of the
advantages nature has given them to
gather Injuries from her rich stores,
while those who can obtain these needs
from other sources put up with inferior
articles. Let ms gather from our own
land what nature gives us SO abnndautIy,
and live as we should.
