DIED Amorg-strangers .

Several months ago DIR. ], II. Blake, OF
Fayetteville, Tennessee, left his home to
seek for health aud strength, being affected
with consumption, among the mountains
a id valleys of New Mexico. He hor ed that
ou'-door exercise in the dry, pure air OF that
elevated region would restore him to health,
b It his hopes were in vain. He had waited
too long, and the fell destroyer had too firIn
a hold, had sapped too surely the fountains
oflife, and he discovered that his strug-
giles agninst his dire, enemy we're in vain.
His one thought and hope then was TO get
back TO his home and those he loved aud
who loved him, in Fayetteville, Tennessee.
there TO die, and he al once set out on bis
journey. He got as far back on his home
ward track as this city on Monday last,
when he was too weak 20 travel
further, and being out Of funds he was sent
10 the city hospital. Wednesday night lie
died, far away from the ministrations a
relatives and friends, but he had every care
and attention and all was done that could
be to soOthe his dying hours.

WAR CLOUDS.

Since the Russian general, SKobELEFF,
made his famous speech in Paris a few
weeks since, rumors of war have been rife
in European circles. The general, although
speaking in private capacity, seems to
have aroused German feeling to an unusual
extent and his language is particularly
distasteful to Austria which is at present
engaged in a character of race conflict
with the Herzegovinians. The general
declared that a conflict between the Slavs
and Germans was inevitable and intl-
mated very strongly that his people were
willing to engage in the same at the ear
lest possible moment, and boast
tingly concluded that the Germans in such
event were bound to be worsted. Since
that time bad blood has been steadily grow
ing between the Russian and German gov
ernments and our latest dispatches present
rather a serious state of affairs across the
waters. 1t is the policy of the car and his
ministers, OF course, to draw attention
nv ay from home matters and the wide
spread internal dissension of his empire by
a foreign war and the occurrences on the
southeastern frontier of Austria at present,
where his Slavic subjects are in revolt, are
quite likely to afford all requisite excuses.
In case the governments of Russia and
Austria should become involved in war
those other nations, France and Germany
would be inevitably drawn into the con-
flict, the latter in behalf of Austria and the
former in alliance with Russia. Where
the combinations would stop it is hard to
say, but a general and bloody European
struggle might be expected. The prepare
lions which for some time past have been
going on in all these countries of warlille
character give strength to the rumors Of
war, and before the spring has closed
we may be called upon to witness one
If the worst conflicts of modern times.
Happily, we in America have nothing TO
say on the subject, and of course will play
no figure in the drama If enacted. Finan-
cially, however, we may expect considera-
BILE outcome 10 us, in the event of fight,
and while we cannot but deprecate the
fearful experiences and necessities conse-
auent upon war, we must congratulate our
selves upon our admirable situation, which,
when the rest of the world is suffering as
from the throes of an earthquake, brings
us only prosperity and wealth. We trust,
indeed, in the interest of humanity, that
these giant. will not lock arms, but such a
struggle could not but be Of great historical
interest and significance to the rest Of the
world. Further developments will be
watched with anxiety.

Yesterday morning the residence of DR..
A. a. Johnson, 30S Oleander street, was
entered by burglar, who succeeded in
securing ''swag" enough to pay for the
venture-if he don't get caught. 1t was
about 4 o'clock in the morning when
the light fingered gentleman effected
an entrance into the house, which he did
by entering the front door which had been
inadvertently lefC open. He found the
DOCTORS watch and chain, worth $l20, some
81 or IS in money, which was in his panta-
looms and vest pockets, and few articles
laying about the room. Fortunately, Mrs.
Johnson awoke while he was in the room,
and seeing him. screamed, causing the ras-
cal to run. DIR. johnson at once telephoned
the Grand Windsor hotel, asking that a
policeman be sent to his house. The night
Waterman at the hotel Immediately found
officers Overland and Ramsey, and notify
ing them, they repaired forthwith to DR..
Johnson's residence, but they were of
course too late for the burglar; nor
did they find any clew to lead to his ar
rest. DR.. johnson thinks he knows the
mana party he saw ON the streets during
the day, Friday, and as he was unable to
see him anywhere during the day
yesterday his suspicion is strengthened.
In thisconnection it is not amiss to state
that the night-watchman at the Grand
Windsor answers every night, and some
nights number of times, calls for police
men. He has to go out on the beats of the
officers to find them, and it seems as though
the city might allow him something in the
way OF remuneration for this service.

A Dallas Prize-Fighter

A former resident of Dallas, and man
well-known to many of our citizens, but
now living in New Mexico, has developed
into prize-fghter. The following from the.
New Albuquerque New Mexico) Journal
will explain matters: Jerry, the slugger,P
authorizes this paper to state that he accepts
the challenge of Charles Gallagher to fight,
according to the rules of the prize-ring, the
fight to come off within three weeks from
tomorrow, within twenty miles Of this city,
and has deposited $3.50 at Messrs. Connor Il
Wainey's, which Mr.. Gallagher will please
cover to close match. This fight will no
doubt came Off both men think they have
muscle and skill, and are backed by numef-
Gus friends. If the mill takes place il
will no doubt be in the vicinity OF lsleta,
south of this city, and excursion trains will
be run TO accommodate those who delight
in seeing affairs of this kind. Bets are even.
at this date, between the men, and If the
fight takes place, IL will be hard one"
Gallagher is the bruiser who formerly lived
here, he being hack-driver at theN time.
Those Who know him here are Offering 10
bet on him even.

GOOD MAN GONE.

BY our special telegram from Gaines

JACK MARTIN, formerly Of the Gainesville
Register, has ceased to beat, that consump-
tion's blight has at last burned to its socket
all that there was of life's mysteriousmove-
ment in fast fading tenement in form
that all who knew him esteemed and loved.
The man, the legislator, the editor, is gone
from all the trials, the tolls, the sufierings
that these characters have to endure. As a
man he was true and faithful, and well
filed the measure Of manhood's duties
and requirements. As legislator
he was efficient, prompt, assid-
uous, progressive and painstaking.
As an editor he was clear of conception,
fearless of expression, and to native yigor
of thought added beauty oflanguage that
made his articles at once instructive and at
tractive, believing, as was said of another by
a living orator, that the column was not
less strong because it was polished and
carved and sculrtured, or that the oak had
less Of strength because ofthe green glory OF
lis gsrb or the graceful vine that wreathed
il with fern and flower. In all the capac-
titles he was the same genial, affable, quiet
gentlemen, for conscious Of his own correct
ness he was often silent where others,
with more assurance and less ability
were more demonstrative and persist
ent. But the man has surrendered
his soul to his God. The legislator has
obeyed the law imposed by Him who com

tive. The editor has laid down his pen for

Nearly all the HERALDs city readers will
remember a woman who formerly kept
cigar stand in this city. 1t was some three
or four years ago. that she held out in the
cigar line, and she did an excellent business
too, being rather good-looking and always
pleasant and courteous to her customers.
In this connection the following from the
Denver Colorado Republican, will be in
teresting: MRS. G. K. Thomas, who some
time ago arrived here from Missouri, is ascer-
tanned to be an abortionist. She came here
in the role of doctoress; has committed
several abortions in Denver, and has engaged
in the same business in various towns
of Missouri, including Konsas City. Her
correct name is Mrs. Thomas, but while in
Denver she lived with shoemaker and
went by his name. She is now living with
man in Las Vegas, and goes by the name
of Mrs. C. e. Evinson. She is the daughter
of General Burgess, of the Confederate
army, and formerly resided in Richmond,
Virginia" 1t is but right and proper to
state that the woman mentioned in the
above extract from the Denver Republican
is not the woman who sold cigars in Dallas.
The cigar woman died in this city about
three years ago.

A Misrepresentation.

| At the hamlet of Grapevine, in Tarrant
county, there is published pseudomor-
phous weekly sheet that glories in the
name OF Grapevine Globe" IL has a
patent outside, and therefore externally
has neat appearance. Its readers would
be happier and far better entertained at the
weekly collation. it hashes up, il is patent,
| If its inside was patent also. This her.
marphrodite journalistic abortion has the
following misrepresentation and misstate-
ments in its last issue, viz: Quite num-
Der Of our merchants have changed their
business from Dallas to Fort Worth. This
is as it should be, for the merchants OF the
Fort can and do sell goods just as cheap as
those of Dallas. The expense OF getting
goods from the former is considerably less,
and besides this, there is no time that a
team cannot bring its two thousand pounds
from the Fort, while there is hardly time
that this can be done, and much Of the
time a good team cannot as much as
pull an empty wagon from Dallas"
1t is possible that Dallas merchants being
convinced that il would be but a waste Of
good money TO advertise in the columns OF
this Globe, decline 10 do 50, and hence our
city becomes the target for its puny shafts.

irish Potatoes From Scotland

Every one has heard quoted the phrase,
'Taking Goals to Newcastle" and it seems
to be quite rs reasonable and as compatible
with common sense for man to "take
Goals to Newcastle" as for him to bring
Irish potatoes to Texas, to any part OF
America, indeed, from Scotland. Yet it is
fact that potatoes imported from Scotland
have arrived and are on sale in Dallas.
There is nothing extra in the APP
pearance of these potatoes. They are
nothing like as fine in size as our home
roised potatoes, and as America is the hab-
itat of the Irish potato, Ireland and
Scotland and other European countries
ewing their original supply TO this country,
it seems anomalous that these imported
potatoes should be superior or equal, even,
to those grown here. The importation OF
these potatoes gives food for thought, and
must cause every thinking man to ex-
claim, cui bono? With our climate and
soil-Texas climate and soil is alluded to-
nothing, save coffee and other exclusively
tropical products, need be imported. Texas
can produce every edible that Europe can,
and, considering the dense population of
European nations, the immense numbers
OF non-producers who must cot, Texas
ought to make surplus of edible pro
ducts TO export for the bene-
fit of these European countries.
1t is reflection, a libel, indeed, upon the
industry and enterprise of the people OF
this country, that field products should be
imported from Europe; that European
countries, crowded with populations 50
great that but a 1.-THE thereof can find soil
on which to devote their efforts in agricul-
tural pursuits, should send 10 us food for
our tables. If failure OF crops through
out our country should be the measure Of
any years misfortune, and Europe had
made q superabundance of food products.
then there would be excuse, but otherwise
there can be none, and it, is a humiliation
upon our country for all the world to know
that our agriculturists have not the energy
and good sense 10 raise enough 10 feed the
country
