June 17J I. when tho appr'hcnsicns OF the public
were intensely aroused by the impending ou' break
of fhe French and Indian wars In the dead of Il
dark ard sultry night the residents of Windham
Green were awakened by a tumble of strange
sounds, full of horrible suggestions to n community
living IN daily dread OF attack. Pauic stricken
noghbors were able to distinguish from the ranks
of the invisible foe calls for Colonel DYER and
"Elderlin, too" showing that their leaders were
already marked for the sacrifice.
Not TIL the next morning was the mystery ex-
planned. Ii was thci found that during the might
some strange dstempcr had fallen upon the frogs in
Folletts Pond, mile east of tho village. Many
were dead, aud the living were passing through o
commotion equalled only by that Just experienced
by their ncighDors on the green. As the Wndhanl-
ties were quito noted tor predsposltOn to raillery
and practical jokes. they were peted most un-
mcrcifully from all quarters Though more than q
century aud fourth have passed since that fearful
night the memory of the panic is still kept fresh in
local traditions.

During the past week or two there has
been considerable activity in the sale of
town lots. Nearly all the sales have been
made to parties who intend to improve
them, and the prospects of Abilene were
never brighter than at present. 1t does
seem that its continued growth and pros
perity up to this time ought to convince
the most skeptical of the permanence and
stability Of the town. Nothing can be more
certain than that it can never retrograde; it
can never do less amount of BUSINESS than
it has done in the past seven months, the
first seven of its existence. If its trade has
been satisfactory so far, from an entirely
new and undeveloped country, it may very
reasonably be expected to increase in the
same proportion that the surrounding coun-
try is developed, and its productions of the
soil and pasture multiplied. SO it is self
evident proposition that there can b. no
permanent falling Off of its trade Abe

GOVERNOR ROBERTS, NOOK.

Our country confreres of the Texas press
seem to be more than necessarily agtatcd
on the subject of Governor Roberts future
political fortunes. The manner in which
his book on Texas has been so absurdly
criticised is doing more to advertise it and
create an eagerness upon the part of the
people to read it than anything
else that could have happened.
And his enemies of the press, and
political "outs,n may rest their souls in
peace that this little handbook of the old
alcalde will, in no wise, detract from his al.
ready firm grasp upon the confidence of the
people, nor in the least, unsettle their high
estimate OF him as q patriot, jurist and
statesman. We feel assured that the file
and masses Of the people will honor him in
the future as they have done in the past,
despite the dirty fngs and inunendoes thai
are constantly hurled at him, Il Alvarado

A sunny, hopeful disposition is about as
valuable a'giit as Providence vouchsafes

sHERMAE's PROSPECTS.

Railroads in every direction have cut off
the wagon trade which formerly thronged
her streets during the cotton season with
BUYERS and sellers. This year she finds her
self for the first time cut down to her own
Legitimate business. The trade which she
has enjoved during the present season is
one on which she can always depend one
which no future railroad movements can
take from her. Though IL must be admit
ted that she has experienced a considerable
falling Off from the figures of some former
years, she ought to find in her experience
much ground for encouragement and little
for dependency. We are evidently going

HONEST STATE POLICY.

If the democracy of Texas desire a change
in their state policy they must 50 declare in
their state convention. 1t is the duty OF
the convention to make a declaration oi
principles as we'll as to say what the policy
of the next state administration shall be,
the school system needs improvement, and
the question of railroads and immigration;
and last but by no means least, more eff
cient administration of our criminal laws is
needed-the laws themselves are good
enough, but to use n metaphor, the
moshes of the law are so large that many
criminals slip through and re-
gain their liberty instead of being caught
and sent to the pentcntiary. Let the next
democratic state convention make adeclara-
ton of its intentions in regard to the policy
to be pursued and then proceed to nominate
a man who will carry out the wishes
of the people as expressed in the
convention. Ifthis be done the nominee OF
the convention will be elected by an over
whelming majority, but it must not be for
gotten that the convention must be fair
and honest one, and not II convention
elected for the purpose of nominating set
of men selected by ring Of politicians. A
repetition of the Dallas convention is one
of the things that should be avoided
