Ten infernaI machines charged with
nytrO-glycerine, it is alleged, we're recently
discovered and seized at Liverpool, Eng

vessels which sailed from Boston, and
are believed to be a part of the Fenian
project to liberate ireland. The affair
was made the subject Of inquiry 10 the
House of Commons, on the 18th inst. and
active inquiry as to the originators ofthese
machines is going on both in this country
and 10 England.

The Vast White sand Hills ON the
Texas & Pacific.


Dallas Herald.l
The famous white sand hills are en-
cOunteied by the Texas & Pacific
railway extention about thirty miles
this side of the Pecos river. They
comprise an area about fifteen miles
" lie, and are said to extend north
from a point near the railroad track
one hundred miles, reaching into New
Mexico. At the distance of = few
miles, the hills viii be likened by one
member Of sightseeing party to the
hite-capped waves of an angry sea,
and to another's eyes will appear like
a snow capped chain of "misshaped
mountains" On nearer approach
it. is seen how the wind storms have
driven about the drifting, Sheeny sand,
fashioned into fantastic shapes, re-
sembling craggy cliffs, bold bluffs, un-
dulating mounds, and winding valleys.
This is the Sahara Of Texas, the one
and comparatively trihing blot on the
fair face Of the proudly-psraded Eden
of America. Water is sometimes
found by digging where the mesquite
struggling for life gives faint promise
of success, but of those persons who
have made such an attempt when lost
among the sand hills, the greater num-
Der are believed to have persisted from
an agonizing thirst.
The few signs of vegetable life are
seen in the occasional tufts of coarse
grass, the hardy cacti, the mesquite
bush, and scrubby bush called the
shin oak because no taller than the
shin of a man), eking out, as it were,
precarious existence on the sides of
the moving hillocks. A few wild
pinks and sunfowers are also to he
discerned here and there among the
ragged bits of brush. The chief in
habitants of this desolate region are
the wild musk hogs, which feed on
the sweet acorns grown for them on
the shin oak. The tarantula and the
centipede abound in as great plenty as
Kansas immigration agent would

quarrel may be provoked now and then
by a wild rat, whose short forelegs and
long hind ones resemble a kangaroo,
and who must live on something.
There are no birds to fly about DER
head such a dismal place of abode but
few rayens-commons crows they do
not appear to be. The description

During the latter years of the war
part OF Spotted Tails family remained
Tor long time at Fort Laramie, and
with them was his faYorite daughter
a young girl just budding into woman
hood. The Fort was then garrisoned
by companies of an Ohio regiment OF
volunteer cavalry. Among the Off
GERS Of this regiment was a young man
OF good appearance and pleasant man
ners, and with whom the chiefs
daughter fell in love. Her passion
does not seem to have been reeipro-
Gated by the young soldier, and he did
all in his power to convince her he
could not marry her, and, therefore, it
would be wrong in him to pay his ad
dresses to her. But the infatuated
girl would not be convinced, and could
not understand why she, princess
and daughter of the most powerful
chlefon the plains, was not a suitable
wife for the young soldier.
Day after day she would dress her
self with scrupulOus care and come to
the fort to see her beloved. 1t was
pitiable to observe her, as hour after
hour she would sit on the doorstep Of
the young officers quarters waiting
for him to come out. At other times
she would follow him about the parade
ground, seeming perfectly happy if she
could only be near him and have the
poor privilege Of looking at him.

Death of a Prominent 6OIOred
Man In AFkansaw.
Helena Ye0man.l

Helena Yeonan.l
Mr.. H. B. Robinson, (colored), ex-
Sheriff Of Phillips county, died at his
residence, in this city at $3.50 yesterday
morning, after a painful! illness OF
about ten days. He was born and
reared in East Tennessee, near Knox
vile, was 48 years of age and came to
Arkansaw about nineteen years ago,
accompanied By his friend Mr.. l.
Coursey, a we'll known colored man
residing in this city. 1t is with feel
ing of more than ordinary regret that
we chronicle the death of Hense Rob
inson. He was gifted with a dignity
and rare good sense beyond a majority
of his race, and it can be said of him
that the colored people never pos
sessed an ADLER and safer leader. We
are told by white people who were
here during Che dark days of recon-
struction, that his voice was then ever
raised in favor of peace and
good order. The colored people
we're not then as far advanced as they
are now, and it was the good sense and
admirable Judgment of Robinson that
prevented many acts Of bloodshed and
violence. He was member Of the
School Board, and we remember his
remarks at the last meeting Of that
body. BE said, Il am willing and
anxious to vote for teachers in the
white schools that may be most ac-
ceptable to the white people, and IL
return / beg of you gentlemen, to do
your best for us in the way ofteachers
for the eslored schools" BE was ed
ucating his owa children, and by pre-
ptand practice was doing everything
possible to elevate his race. fhe col
ored people of Phillips county have
made wonderful progress during the
last Ave years, and they owe much OF
their success to the silent influence Of
the man they will follow to the tomb
to-day.

The Chinese students.

New York Tribune'l
The hasty recall of the Chinese
youths who were sent here several
years ago by the imperial government
argues a recent and violent change in
the policy at Pekin. 1t was tacitly
understood that the object of sending
these young men, all members OF in
fuential families, was not only that
they should learn mathematics and
languages, but become imbued with
the moving ideas of civilization.
They are now suddenly ordered home
because it is feared that they are
taking in too much civilization OF the
American sort.
There can be little doubt that this
order is due to the deposition from
power of Prince Ii, and the dominant
Influence at Pekin of General Tso-
tsung- who is now Minister OF
War. and, what is more to the pur-
pose, the popular idol, with an enor-
nous and victorious army to back
him, which has been drilled and
equipped under his personal super
vision. in a manner totally without
precedent in the history of China.
This remarkable man is exercising as
powerful an influence over present
Asiatic policy as Cromwell did in
England or Napoleon in France. He
is the Monaghan species OF Cromwell
or Bonaparte, and has now the force
which a man of iron will. IN
domitable obstinacy, and blunt,
outspoken directnsss would gain when
placed in authority over hordes OF
shifty. subtle, smooth Asiatics. In
character he resembles an old Scotch
Puritan rather than Monaghan, but
in his policy and purpose he is Chi
neSe of the Chinese. He proposes ut
the native and foreign journals at Pek-
in report his proceedings correctly
to elevate China to position among
nations which she never has reached
before. The lost territory has been
regained, opium is to be shut out, and
the people rescued from their chronic
drunkenness. He has helped to es-
tablish manufactures and railways,
has used foreign machinery,
and the army is equipped
with European guns and ar
tillery and drilled by European Off
GERS. In short, he is quite willing TO
make use of American and European
appliances to help China upward, but
be does not intend that China shall
become an inferior imitation of either
America or Europe. The Chinese
lads are brought home before they are
too much imbued with the leaven of
democratic ideas or the:Christian faith.
China, most decrepit of all Eastern
peoples, is concerned, General TsO
will probably decide her fate for the
next generation, and keep her where
she is.
