THE Waco papers have been say
ing things to the STATESMAN in a
confidential way, and now, in order
to be neighborly, we will return the
confidence and ask just a question
or two. First-Why has the Iele-
phone, which we have always looked
upon as evincing spirit of fairness,
ignored the statement in the local
columns of the STATESMAN last
week, by which it was shown
that j. X. Street, and not
"Austin," originated the re-
port that Senator Coke would
stump the state for Waco as the uni
versity location? When it was
thought that some citizen of Austin
originated the rumor, the Telephone
had several severe nightmares, and
its indignation knew no bounds.
Since it has transpired that a citizen
of Waco, and a travelling agent in
the interest of that city for the
university, was the author of the
canard, the Telephone is as dumb
as an oyster. Second-Why does
the E.caminer, after it knows the re-
port just alluded to was not an
Austin commodity, continue to
publish extracts from uninformed
newspapers derogatory to Austin,
and which extracts are founded upon
this same report which should
properly be credited to Waco
and not to Austinr Is such
persistency in a false report
which the Examiner knows to
be false representation and un-
just arraignment of ofAustin-accord-
ing to the ethics of genteel and
manly journalism Indeed, is it
not something which no respectable
and fair-minded jouS%sl can afford,
to indulge in, and Al same time.

UNDER the caption, Independence
of the South" the Mobile Register,
one of the foremost papers of the
country, says:
"Ifa politician the south desires
to have encomiums heaped upon him
by the Republican press OF the north,
if he wishes to be extolled as a pa
triot, and statesman, and a man of
the most enlarged views and ideas,
all that he has to dois to express his
determination not to act in the fu-
ture with the Democratic party. If
to this expression he joins, from
time to time, attacks on what he is
pleased to term Bourbon Democ-
racy,' and adds his voice to sthpse
that have SO long been accusing fhe
white people of the south of fraud in
elections, the admiration of the Re-
publicans for him becomes unbound
ed, and, whatever may have been his
past career, or whatever his charac-
ter and opinions, he is considered
worthy of the favor of the powers

"GATH," in an interview with
Col. Logan, reports the latter gentle

HHe is the most remarkable man,
says Col. Logan, "that has ever been
seen in Wall street, not excepting
Commodore Vanderbilt. His fol-
lowing is SO remarkable. You see
they not only take his cue through
out the other states of the Union,
but he can raise money in New

THE Mexican Oriental Inter-Oce-

scheme engaged in by Jay Gould,
Russell Sage and other New York
capitalists, in which General Grant

The company is to continue for
term of ninety-nine years from

point on the Rio Grande between
Laredo and Reynosa, continuing

1t will be interesting TO watch the
expression of sentiment by the
Democratic press respecting the
president from now ON. AS his re-
cOvery is almost certainty he will
gradually cease to be to the Demo-
Gratis the truly good man they have
represented HIM in the recent past
-GIObe-DenOc1'dt
The Globe Democrat certainly mis-.
construes the sympathy extended to
the wounded president by the Demo-
cratic press of the country, or, what
is extremely more probable, mlsrep-
resents its position in the matter.
Democrats everywhere are true
enough to abhOr assassination in
any form, and the expressions of
condemnation of the murderous act,
and the subsequent tender of
heartfelt sympathy for the sufferer,
were in no wise intended as eulo-
gies upon the virtues of the presi-
dent. That sympathy was genuine
and sincere, and such as every true
man must feel in the presence of
such a crime. Politics had nothing
to do with the action OF the press in
this case, and the political record of
Mr.. Garfield is not at all changed
thereby. But then the CD. is
nothing, if not mean; is idle
and wasting its time if not
misrepresenting and traducing.

The sbrewd and Humorous CARLYLE.


1t would be easy to say many things
on Mr.. Cmlyle's writings and opinions
which must be left uusaid; but few
words must be written about the man
himself. One who had seen much OF
the world and knew large propotion
Of the remarkable mcn Of the last thlr-
" wears, declared that Mr. Carlyle was
by far the most impressive person he
had ever known; the man who con-
vcvcd mos; iorcibiy to those who APP
preached him that general impression
of genius and force of character which it
is inposS bic either to mistake or to de-
fine. His siugularly striking appear
ance: his ewes, nearly the largest, and
in youth, ii j, said, the most piercing
and powerful to be seen in any human
head; his stern and rugged features
like Scotch bull and yet unlike
Scotch terrier, are known to every one.
The extraordinary charm of his CONVEX
sation and manner is known only to q
few. He had Il stately native courtesy,
dignity, and consideration for the feel
ings Of others, which, Notwithstanding
some small defects of temper must
have struck every one who approached
him. He was not ut his best when he
was allowed to have all the converse
ton to himself, for in such cases he
talked Gas was naturaD too much like
his books; bnt when he was in company
where he was obliged to give and take
he was the most charming of takers
His LAUGH was freedom and cordiality
itself His humor was at once so pow
erful and so subtle that it seemed to
exhaust the matters on which it touched.
His shrewdncSs, especially in Judging
of character from small indications, was
extraordinary. He once denounced rs
a scoundrcl Il man Of business who at
the time was in the best rcputc, and
who shortly afterward turned out to de-
serve all that had been said against
him. "lIow,n he was asked, ibid you
find him out, Mr. Carlyle" "Oh,' said
he, al saw rogue in the twist of the
false hip of him as he wen, out at the
door. "lle was once asked what he
thought of new acquaintance whom
he had seen for u few minutes. 81
should call him q willowy sort OF II
man" The unspeakable felicity of the
epithet could be shown only by an un-
warrantable breach of confidence. But
all these things were but symptoms OF
something else of infinitely higher inn
portance. All that he said and did,
gave an impression of truth and power
and courage which will never be for
gotten by those who were happy enough
to receive it, lie walked through this
world, let us hope to one as good or
better, with his head erect and his eyes
wide open He felt like n man, and he
spoke and wrote as he felt, with imcom-
parable force both of thought and ex-
preston; and he never wrote one word
of which his dearest friend could feel
ashamed, though he wrote many with
which hardly anyone could agree, ST

Light BrahmaS, says q writer IN the

in one year, They will lay 100 of that
number between the lst day Of Decem-
Der and the lst Of June. My pulIets, rs
q general rule, commence laying at six
months old; that is. if they are Matched
IN March they will commence laying IN
August, and continue To lay all Winter
with proper care. Now | DO not state
this as mere guess work, but from actu-
al experience with this breed of fowls
for several years. The Lcghorn fowl
will lay the largest numberot eggs
in a year of any fowl | know of; but If
they lay in the Winter season YOU must
have q very warm place for them. They
will lay 10 eggs in a year. or twenty
more than the average Brahma, but
they will lay the largest share OF this
number in the Summer season, while
the Brahma is attending to other duties,
either sitting on her nest or bringing up
her numerous family. The Leghorns,
being non-sitters, can put in their spare
time LAYING the extra twenty eggs which
usually are worth five or six cents per
dozen at this season of the year. One

eggs will weigh seven to thepound while
il will take eight of the Leghorns, This,
of course, does not make any difference
in their market value as long as they
are sold by the dozen, but for home use
it certainly does. am well aware there
are those who think it is all in the feed,

it, but not so much as some believe.
