prised them most was the quiet man
ner in which the brigand had been
captured. How SO famous brave,
so bloodthirsty criminal and DIES.
perate fugitive could be captured
at all. filed them with CONSERVATION,
and only one seasonable theory pre-
sented itself to their minds Esposito
had been betrayed. And suspicious
chances were cast from one to another.
1t was as much as one of their lives
was worth, almost, to have been seen
talking to policeman for a month
previously, and not a few alterations
took place. One in particular came
very near resulting in bloodshed. 1t
appears that a lemon peddler named
Gardette was accused by Tony La
bousee, a merchant, of having been
| Instrumental in the capture Of Espo-
sito, which he imputation the former
resented. Labousee was known as
an intimate of the brgand, and natu-
rally enough he took upon himself the
role of his avenger A large crowd
gathered around the two men, and
threatened glances darted at eacf
other. Dabousee drew a long, large
bore dueling pistol and long knife
Gardette, who is short, thick-set
powerful man, seized the hand grasp
ing the knife, when his adversar.
struck him several times in the fac
with the butt end of his weapon. Re
leasing his hold, Gardette darted sud
denly through the crowd of Italian
who had surrounded the contestants
and ran home, where he armed him
self with large sized Remmingto
cavalry revolver, and returned i
search of his adversary.
About this time officer Quillan, {
the Harbor Precinct, arrived, and re
CARELESS of personal danger, he mad
his way into the midst Of the circI
ofmen, and with the assistance
officer Dayton, made the belligeren'
prisoners, Gardette was badly beat
, en- about the head and face.
Both men were released by Judg
Miltenberger to appear this morning
, Two pistols were brought to the st'
, ton, having been taken from the pr
9 Oners.
That the end is not yet is obviol
to those who know the nature OF ii
r natives of sunny Italy, and no asse
h tions will make them believe 9TH
, than that Esposito has been betray'
Y by one of his countrymen.

those regions from inroads from the reser-
walton Indians, said reservation Indians be-
ing under the management of government
agents, and under the eye OF United States
troops. The state could not on any ques-
ton of dollars and cents soc any of her citi-
gems butchered, their children carried into
captivity and their property destroyed by
ruthless savages, however indifferent the
United States government might be to
their fate, however recreant it might be to
to its solemn obligations. AT
every session Of the state legislature
aJoint resolution is passed, instructing our
senators and requesting our representatives
in congress to urge the passage Of an appro-
priation to reimburse Texas for the money
she has expended in behalf of frontier de-
Tense, and that is generally the last of it.
1t may be that the attention Of congress, in
both houses, is called to it but, no such bill
has ever been passed. Whilew would not
sayone word that might be construed into an
objection to the states further protection of
its frontier, still we are of the opinion that
the time has well-nigh come when this
expense can be saved, When the lcgisa-
turc meets in January, 1888, we think
that il can reasonably and safely
take the responsibility of disbanding the
frontier battalion entirely, and of Topping
oil all appropriations for frontier defense.
The Texas e Pacific railroad will have been
completed to III Paso by that time, and the
"Sunset route" and the international road
be also completed to points on the Rio
Grande, and these great civilizers and
country developers, taking settlers along
with them to populate the frontier regions,
will have obviated the necessity for state
troops, and there will be no longer occasion
for inspecting tours to military
outposts by the United States adiu-
tant general. When we say there will
be no longer a necessity for state troops,
we do not include the office of adiutant
general. This is an office at all times neces-
sary, indeed required, if we mistake not.
by the United States law, but his duties will
only be confined to the volunteer and re-
served militia Of the state, and it is to be
hoped that the next legislature will increase
his duties in this direction by giving the
state a militia law that is not farce, de-
fusion and a snare, burlesque-indeed a
disgrace to civilized people, as can well be
said of the present militia law of Texas.

ON AN INSPECTING To,rR

1t seems that General W, II. King, adiu.
tant general ofthe state, has gone on u tour
of inspection of the garrisons of state troops
along the frontier. Does II not appear
strange that Texas is forced at her own OK
pense to protect the people living in her
frontier countless For years this necessity
has been forced upon our state, while the
United States government, whose duty 1t
is to give this protection, looks indihercntly
on. The United States government legiti-
mately owes Texas some millions of dollars
she has been compelled to take from
her state treasury, to take from
the pockets Of her people indeed, ..ior. the
support. Of state ranging companies kept
on the frontiers to guard the settlers in

THE history of the postal card and the re-
suits II has wrought cannot but prove in
teresting to the thoughtful and investiga-
ting mind, II has in great measure paved
the way for cheaper, better postage, and We
will not be surprised to see bill introduced
in the next congrcssto reduce letter postage
to two cents. In an exchange We iindthe fol-
lowing account Of tho postal card; "a
treatise on the history of the postal card
has been published in Berlin. Tho origina-
tor of the idea Is said to have been Ger
man state official, DR.. Stephan, who wrote
an essay upon II in 1865. Austria was the
first to ADOPT IL, beginning in DC.
tober 1869, The first three months
witnessed the passage of 2,0So,oO0
cards through the mails Germany
followed suit In 1870, aud, on the first day
after the introduction of the postal card,
45A6S were sent Off in Berlin alone, and
within twomonths over 1000 900 were used.
Other countries soon initiated the same step.
During the franco.Prussian war the postal
card system was a great boon to both
armies. over 100000 cards passed dur
ing the campaign between the German sol
dicrs and their friends and their homes.
The greatest proportional consumption of
postal cards occurs unquostonably in the
United States. The whole of Europe is es-
timated to use annually i5O,o0O00O, while
the consumption IN the United States will
probably not fall short of 23o,ooo,ooo. Ger
many consumed in 1870 i22,5i7,0Oo. The
use of the postal card is, moreover. con.
stantly increasing, and, to some extent, at
the expense Of the letter correspondence.
There are now said to be seventy-three
countries In which II is introduced. Aus
tria, which has the honor Of first putting
the idea into practical execution, is now
said TO have cards Of the poorest material
and most inconycnicnt form.
