an account of horrible massacre
perpetrated at Tipitava, one OF
the Tino islands. The natives had
recently proselytlzed by the eff

named Kakbue, who induced
them to give up their weapons.
Subsequently the people Of the
southern portion of the island be-
came dissatisfied at the constant
acquisitions made upon them for

preached a crusade against them,
armed his followers and led them

COnkIing at the Willie House.

A Washington telegram of Sat
urday says: Ex-senator Roscoe
Conkling arrived in this city by
the early morning train. He was
driven in a hack to his old head
quarters, Of Fourteenth street,
where he remained until noon.
He then visited Senator Jones at
his residence, on Capitol Hill and
remained with him until late in
the afternoon. Subsequently he
drove around the supurbs of the
9th. His friends announced his
presence in Washington at this
time as strictly on private bust
ness in connection with certain
patent cases, for which he is an
attorney.
AT eight o'clock tonight the
Senator called at the White
House and left his card with one
of the ushers, to be sent to Mrs.
Garfield. He said, knowing her
to be fatigued and worn out with
care and anxiety, he did not care
to have her called at that hour.
He desired, however, to have CON
veyed to Mrs. Garfield his pro-
found qualification at the prospect
OF the recovery of the President
and his sincere hope that his re-
covery would be rapid. For the
President, he desired word to be
communicated to him that his
sympathies were with him in his
deep affection, and his prayers
that his recovery would be speedy
and he soon 9"ain be restored to
his fuii usefulness to serve his
country.

are constrained to say that in travelling
through Texas one meets as many il
not. more urbane, interesting citizens

cannot be said that these persons are
all native Texans. for they may have

homogenizing all social and political Gle.

so it is that Texas people are attractive

the young persons one meets. who have
had the advantages of high schools are
very intelligent, conversing with elegance

some of his observations in that vicinity
Il went across the lawn to see large
pair of American mules, working to q
riding cultivator Of the Weir patent. It
did splendid work, cleaning a row Of
cotton thoroughly at one passing. This
team was driven by w. II. Richardson,
late from Missouri, who is making his
third crop. His was by all odds tho
finest field of cotton have seen this
year Mr.. Richardson is the boss farmer
l know Of in Texas. He says he'never
saw cotton 70 full Of bloom and squares
in his life. Now let me tell our farmers
that this man cultivated alone twenty
seven acres in cotton, fifteen in corn,
FIVE and a half in oats and eight and a
half 10 wheat. His oats threshed out
over sixty bushels to the aore--330
bushels at 40cents--$132. Corn, fifteen
acres. average thirty bushels at go cents

answers were given. The teachers also
took notes of the proceedings. Prof.
B. has clear aud highly cultivated in.

Educational Jealousy.

There is no reason for the cnrpings
against the NORMAL school movement, in
the Texas press simply because the priu
-cipal teachers and professors are from
the north. There is nothing sectional
in the system or teaching, but Texas.
teachers can as gratefully receive edu-
cational influences from the Peabody
fund in that direction as can the public
schools in different parts of the state.
In some respects Texas is behind sister
states IN public schools, and the sooner
she reforms tho whole system, or dis
cards it and adopts that used by Ohio,
Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, or Iowa.
the better for the good of the future
generation. Meantime pending that i'm
portant change. let US have highly ed
ucated teachers, who know how to i'm
part knowledge as we'll as receive it. and
who shall go forth as shining lights in
the land.
