Each county in Texas has received a
donation of four leagues Of land to con-
stitute fund for the support Of county
academies or high schools. This pro-
vision was made in the early legislation
of the State, and many of the counties
now have a fund of from $25, 200 to
$50 900, but the interest has never been
used except to aid in the support of pub
lie schools, which was not the intention
Of the endowment. The Secretary OF
the State Board of Education now de-
mands that each county establish an
academy at some central point with this
fund.

never better illustrated than in the
case of the Hot Springs Telegraph,
and its rebel flag. A great Democratic
barbecue had been held near the
Springs, and the editor had "thrown
himself' in a two-column descriptive
article, headed with flaming lines. To
add little glory the compositor was
directed to top the article with that Oh
used emblem of our nation, the "stars

A Truuhful Profession.

There il q great deal Of nonsense
talked about the lying done by law
yers. People are more like sheep than
most of us would like to admit. It be-
comes the custom to accuse q certain
class of men of a certain trait. and at
once the people, like sheep, follow their
leader. There il no class Of men who
see more of the seamy side Of life. ex-
cept perhaps editors, than lawyers do,
and there is no class of men more truth
ful. This is partly because the profess
sion generally is composed Of gentlemen
and partly from force Of circumstances.
A lawyer cannot lie il he wants to. In
this respect he resembles George WASH
ington and differs from Mark Twain.
Suppose q lawyer started out to lie to .
Jury, how long would IL be before the
s'eminent counsel" on the other side
would stop him. Do not be 80 simple
as to imagine that lawyer is going tn
let rival lawyer lie about his client.
Then thers is the judge, who Is q sort
of guardian angel over both sides, and
it is not safe to do much lying before q
Judge who knows the truth of the mat
ter. The story about the man who was
asked by the lawyer If that was the
truth Of the case and who answered
"that's the truth. I expect you to pCt
in the lies, is libel on the profession.
There is not one client i'm ten that will
honestly tell q lawyer the whole truth.
The fact that a lawyer will readily take
either side of any case is given In evi-
dence at the fraternity is reckless with
the truth. Why is q lawyer like q
restless sleeper? asks an ancient riddle.
The answer is, because he lies on one
side, then turns and lies on the other.
People forget that there are two sides
to every story. All the lawyer does is
simply to present the best side Of his
case to the attention of Judge or jury or
both. There 10 no necessity for lying
to do this. 1t 10 time the public got
out Of the ancient rut of believing law
yers to be liars.-DetrOh Free Press.

The size of several cities in the
United States compared with those in
Europe, il greater than appears in the
census. The East river and the North
river separate the different parts OF
New York as the Thames and the
Seine separate those of London and
Paris; but in the first instance they are
called Brooklyn and Jersey City.
Were they added to the total popula-
ton of Manhattan Island, New York
would contain . population Of nearly
two millions. So if the 78, ,7S1 inhabit-
ante of Allegheny City, which is really
a part Of Pittsburg, were included the
latter city would have population of
235 ,062. There are other instances of
the kind besides. However, all our
cities are quite big enough for the real
and solid prosperity and the morality
Of tho community.

CROMWELI,S HEAD.


A correspondent of the New York Ezpress
writes:
Before leaving England I had an oppor.
tunity of seeing great curiosity, relic of
antiquity, which few Englishmen have seen.
You will be surprised and perhaps incredu.
lous, when I say have seen the head of OIL
yer Cromwell-not the mere skull, but the
head entire, and in state of remarkable
preservation. It's history is authentic, and
there is verbal and historical evidence to
place the thing beyond cavil. Cromwell died
at Hampton Court, in 1868, giving the
strongest evidence of his earnest religious
convictions, and of his sincerity as a Chris
tian. After an imposing funeral pageant,
the body having been embalmed, he was
buried in Westminster Abbey. On the res
toration of the Stuarts, he was taken up and
hung in Tyburn. Afterward his head was
cut off, pike driven up and through the
neck and skull, and exposed on Westminster
Hall. 1t remained there long while, until,
by some violence, the pike was broken and
the head thrown down. 1t was picked up by
soldier and concealed, and'afterward con.
veyed to some friend, who kept it carefully
for years. Through succession of families,
which can easily be traced, it has come into
the possession of the daughter of Hon. Mr..
Wilkinson, ex.member of Parliament from
Buckingham and Bromley. 1t was at the
residence of this gentleman that saw the
head, and his daughter, lady of fine man
ners and great culture, exhibited it to Rev.
Mr.. Verrell, the pastor of the Bromley Dis
senting Chapel, and myself.
This head of Cromwell is almost entire.
The flesh is black and sunken, but the fea-
lures are nearly perfect, the hair etiIl remain
ing, and even the large wart over one of his
eyes-such being distinctive mark on his
facets yet perfectly visible. The pike which
was thrust through the neck still remains the
upper part Of iron, nearly rusted of, and the
lower wooden portion in splinters, showing
that it was broken by some act of violence.
1t is known historically that Cromwell was
ernbalmed, and no person thus cared for was
ever publicly gibbetted, except this illustri-
Gus man. In addition to the most authen-
tic records concerning the head possessed by
the family, and which have found sustained
by historical works, and even an old manu-.
script in the British Museum, Mr.. Flanman,
the distinguished sculptor, once gave it as his
opinion that this was none other than the
head of Oliver Cromwell. Yet its existence
seems almost unknown in England, and only
few years ago discussion in some Of the
public journals, which I have seen, alternate
ly denied and advocated. it. Such rumor
was in circulation, and as no one had then seen
the head, it having been kept concealed, none
could speak by authority. Recently the
motive for concealment has passed away, and
permission to see it was cheerfully granted.
1t is curious keepsake for lady, but it is
carefully preserved under lock and key in a
number of costly envelopes, and when it is
raised from its hiding place and held in ones
hand, what world of thought is suggested.

THE "LIVER.v

DR.. Bliss and his contemporaries who have
been trying to make the President believe
that if the bullet struck his liver he will
have close shave Of it, know very little
about that organ, or else they have entered
into conspiracy to scare him to DEATH Right
here in our State of Michigan one can collect
CARLOAD of afidavits that mans liver is
about the most worthless organ in the human
body, and down in Indiana they won't have
'em at all if they can help it. Our cores
pendent at Lansing writes:
"Please let the President know through
your columns that in 1872 a boy fred big

cannon. I stuffed up the hole with an old
hat and after the third day could attend to
business as we'll as ever. The injury rather
blunted my taste for New Orleans molasses,

effects" E......
Our correspondent at Mackinaw sends
down the following:
"The President need not be alarmed about
his liver. Last Fall my brother got in the
way of blast at Lake Superior mine and
stone weighing pound was driven clear
through him, carrying portions of his liver
over two hundred feet. The doctors pro.
nounced him a dead man, but in four weeks
he was able to play base ball, and has never
had even headache since. / enclose you

Our correspondent at St. Joseph writes:
"In June last year had colored man
named John Baker in my employ. While

ground and was badly cut up. Among other
wounds he had his liver cut slick in two, and

Our correspondent at Grand Haven says
he knows an Indian who was ripped open
with buzz.saw and his liver flung on q
beam forty feet away. The doctors sewed
him up in such hurry that the lost organ
was forgotten, but the red man suffered no
inconvenience whatever. On the contrary
he has never been in such spirits. He can
drink twice as much whisky without getting

doubts removed. Detroit Free Press.
