The surgeons engaged in the examina-
ton of portions of Guiteau's brain, met
and decided to issue reportshowing the
result of the examination, which will be
given for publication soon. The report
will have no reference to the question Of
insanity, but will be comprehensive
statement of the condition of the brain
and the nature of the disease, if any.
When the reader wades through this re.
port of high-sounding technicalities, the
conclusion of the surgeons will be OF
little consequence. He will know all
about it himself.

MARK GRAY, of Dallas, Texas, is one
of the shrewd men of the day, if he is 8
colored man. He was concerned in run
ming colored faro bank and got almost
81 900 of its funds into his hands, when
he concluded to reform. So he pocketed
the $1,000, reformed, and joined the
church. He was then elected treasurer
of a colored militia company and got
5000 of the company's funds in his pos
session, when he again reformed and EN-.
bezzled the funds. For this, however
he adorns cell in the county Jail.

SOmnambulism in Dogs.

There is something peculiar about
somnambulism when considered from
scientific and philosophical stand
point. The sleep-walker, it will be
found, still retains a dim idea, even
while he is asleep, of the condition of
affairs when he went to sleep. For
instance, if he leaves his clothes in a
certain part OF the room on retiring,
he knows when he rises Just where to
find them, even in the dark This is a
question which opens up wonderful
field for physiological and mental re-
search.
While young and giddy we became q
somnambulist, and excited a great deal
of curiosity by our strange freaks during
sleep, and this one question of the slum-
bering mind and its memory of facts ex-
isting prior to sleep, was the most re-
markable thing about it all to us. We
puzzled over that good deal. At
night we would retire to rest, and the
next thing we would know we would
wake up in the middle of contiguous
melon patch, and there would be two
or three other somnambulists there in
the same patch, and as much surprised
as we were. Still there is the same
truth staring us in the face. Every
somnambulist there had through his
sleep retained in his semi-conscious
state a perfect recollection of where
every article of his clothing was and
how To get out of the upstairs window
without waking the old people.
By and by the owner of the melon
patch procured, at great expense, q
large, humorous bulldog, who was also
a somnambulist. He walked in his
sleep a good deal. That is why we
quit We didn't propose to descend to
the level of the brute creation. We
just said, if bulldog wants to SOM
nam, he can do SO and we will leave the
field to him.
We made this resolution one night
just after we had plugged a watermel-
on. While STOPPING over in the act. we
felt pang of conscience and heard our
suspenders break.
Perhaps the casual reader has never
sat down on q buzz saw and felt him.
self gradually fading away. If so he
does not know what it is to form the ac-
quaintance of a somnarabulist bulldog
in the prime of life.
After that, somnambulism didn' have
such run in our family for Wilde.
We never slept so sound that we didn't
remember places and objects that had
made an impression ON us prior to slum-
Der, and that is why we say that there
is something in this matter that scien-
fists would do well to look into.-Nye's

to raise the required amount, then they
will deposit the amount required for the

Is TEXAS TOO LARGE?

The above is the caption Of an editorial
in the Galveston News, and it answers tho
question in its own way Some of the Bos-
ton papers think that the state shou d
be divided into several states as col
templated by the conditions of its admis-
sion into the Union. We are opposed TO the
division theory, but will say that Texas is
too large for the narrow policy being pur-
sued by some OF its representative men. II
one-half of the population is to be practi-
cally deprived of the benefits of govern
ment for the qualification Of few politi-
clans, then the state is, indeed, too large.
As strange as it may seem, it is none the
less true that the supreme court, the peni-
tertiary branches and all the asylums and
other governmental institutions are located
in triangle which does not en-
brace one-half of the state, either
in area, wealth or population.
Litigants by their attorneys are forced
hundreds of miles at great expense, to at
tend the supreme court; convicts are car
ried hundreds of miles, at great expense, to
be incarcerated, when ten years saving IN
transportation would build branch peni-
Tertiary; the insane are transported hun
dreds of miles, instead Of having an insane
asylum built in this part of Texas. What
ever may be the cause it is none the less
true that the larger portion Of Texas is
practically deprived OF the benefits of gov
eminent for which they pay the largest
amount NJ taxes. These govern
mental and geographical outrages
have been perpetrated long enough. Some
say it is on account of the fact that north
Texas has never had live representatives,
others say it has been on account of the
lethargy of the press Of north Texas. BE
the cause what it may, few politicians n
eastern Texas have managed to deprive the
richest, most populous and largest portion
of the state of the practical benefits Of gov
eminent, that, too. when we paid most for
them. This kind of policy should not be
tolerated any longer by our representatives,
1t is too unjust and too expensive TO stasd
discussion. Yes, Texas is "entirely too
large" for a continuation Of the same selfish
policy. Neither Tyler, Galveston nor Aus
tin, are anywhere near the shifted center OF
Texas wealth and population.
