A Texas Idea OF Justice.

Some time since Mr.. Hough, an emf
grant from Michigan, was arrested in
Texas for alleged illegal voting. His
wife, in writing to friends in this State
about the arrest and subsequent i'll
treatment of her husband, said: HE
never talked politics, but was very much
injured by taking the Detroit Post and
Tribune" The Examiner. q Democratic
paper of Waco, Texas, q town near Mr..
Hough's residence. publishes, in " late
issue, what it styles 1.-The facts" In this
the statement is made that Mr.. Hough
resided and voted in McLennan county
for some time, but that last year a new
county was laid out, the boundary line
of which ran through Hough's farm; and
it is further alleged that his house lies
in the new Falls county, and not in
the old, but that Notwithstanding this
fact Mr.. Hough voted, as he had always
done, in McLennan county. Even if it
is true that his house is in the new
county, his act was mistake such as
any man is liable to make, and it is ad-
mitted that he only voted in one place.
Hough himself, however, claims that
his house is in the county he voted in,
and the records show that he has
paid his personal taxes there. The Ex-
aminer denies that the arrest was caused
by his being Republican, or that the re-
fusal of any person to bail him arose
from the same cause. 1t further asserts
that the Democratic party has never
attempted to bulldoze" anyone. But the
Examiner overturns the entire fabric Of
this defense by the paragraph:
"In the community where Mr.. Hough
lived, it is true, he is very unpopular,
and the main cause of this unpopularity
is because of his mounting disposition
and his ever dabbling into politics and
criticising the South and her statesmen. ="
And this, no doubt, explains it all.
Mr.. Hough would ''dabble in politics"
and would foolishly persist in believing
that as an American freeman he had q
right to do it. OF course it was dreadful
that he should have this 'mouthing dis
position" and that he was guilty Of
'criticising the South and her states
men," And ostracism and persecution
under the forms Of law are the natural
consequences of such presumption-in
that region Detroit Post and Tribune.
General Garfield's two eldest boys are
deacribed rs bright. well-mannered and
enthusiastic when their fathers name is
spoken but not too aggressively con-

said to have written to their tutor that
he himself had exact.d earnest work Of
them and relied upon him to exact the
same.
A board Of officers has been named by

SURPRISING THE observation-disclosures
or Fontaine gives some hints for abating
the mosquito pest which is sure to come
with the advent of sunny days. First,
he says, mosquitoes require water for the
deposit of their eggs and the rearing Of
their larvae or wiggle-tails. Therefore,
all cisterns should he made close and
covered with close woven brass wire net
ting to prevent their laying in them. No
old tubs, barrels. or receptacles of water
ought to be permitted, and no stagnant
pools left undrained within mile of any
dwelling. Then they can be killed by
the cheapest and most abundant OF all
akalies. common lime. Therefore this
ought to be poured into every cess-pool
and spring. A pound of strong lime to
every 100 gallons of stagnant water is
sufficient. But even a pound to 1000
gallons of q cistern Of drinking water
will kill them, although it will probably
give the water an unpleasant favor and
make it too "hard" for most domestic
uses.
