load of wood to a merchant, for him
to step into the store and call for his

Is it an insult for the merchant to ask
that farmer to pay him for the goods
the farmer bought Of him four or five
months ago? We remark not. We
all have perfect right to ask for what

the business intelligence of any man
who disputes it by word or action.
Then don't look upon a "dun" as an
insult, for it is nothing of the kind.

Aud red leaves withcred fall.
We know that Spring will laugh again,
And leaf and flower recall.
But when Loves saddening Autumn wears
The hues that death presage,
No Spring. in Winters lap prepares
A second golden age.

Yet smiles its cold tears through,
No Spring, with warm and sunny skies.

LOCAL PENITENTIARIEs.

Brown and Herndon's penitentisry,"
located near Calvert, in Robertson
county, is getting state reputation as
an illustration Of what is possible under
the county convict system of this state.
The institution in question is a farm,
where Falls and other counties hire their
county convicts, the poor devils who get
drunk, who are c8ught carrying pistols
or convicted of petty otfenses and mis-
demeanors. They are hired at six dol
lars month until fine and costs are
paid. a penalty that aggregates one
hundred dollars entails confinement, at
hard labor, for one year four months and
ten days. The management Of the insti-
tuition Is thus described by the Calvert
Courier:
There Is striking similarity between
the state renitentiary and that OF the
hrIn sOoYe mentioned in the rigid discipline
enforced and the amount of labor required of
the convict, and they all work under the lash
and the persuasive shotgun.
Here is the injustice of the county
convict system, which the EXAMINER has
so often denounced as an outrage. A
poor man. not thief, burglar, or any
thing on the felon order, merely guilty
of what the law classes as a misdemean-
or, generally fighting while drunk, car
rying pistol or something of the kind,
is placed on one of these convict farms
side by side with vicious, low order of
men. He is compelled to wear stripes,
labor hard and serve sometimes longer
term Of Imprisonment than the state i'm
poses Oh felons or murd rers. If he re-
bells he is lashed and if he attempts to
escape he is hunted down with blood
hounds. The severity of the punish
ment is altogether disproportioned to
MS offence. 1t is an outrage, travesty
on Justice that is disgrace to the state.
1t was high time the Governor appealed
to the legislature to put stop to such
DracticeS

A MISCELLANEOUS MEASURE.

II Mr.. Todd's railroad measure, now
pending in the Legislature, is to become
a law railroad builders andothers might
as well shut up shop and invest their
money in enterprises outside of Texas.
It imposes onerous and unreasonable
restrictions. Mr.. T. surely misappre-
heuds the bent Of public sentiment on
the railroad question. The people do
not desire the legislature to enter upon
the work of strangling the roads. A
little legislation, plain and practical. in
the way of regulating freight rates, 80
that roads will not discriminate against
shippers, or against one point in favor
Of another and providing for prompt
handling of freight when offered,
is il reality about all the
regulating" the roads need. Some
Legislators are frettIng over the five
cents a mile passenger rates charged by
every road il the state but two. We
notice, though, that q move to impose
fine of one thousand dollars for every
free pass issued by any road could not
even obtain consideration in the house.
The passenger rate question will in good
time find adjustment and reduction in
the competition between the several
roads. If it remains at five cents it is
not exorbitant 1t is the freight busi-
ness the legislature should look after If
it really desires to benefit the people. If
Mr., Todd's bill or any measure akin to it
becomes a law it is to be hoped the
Governor will use the veto power,
promptly and vigorously, for the bill
threHtouS hundred uuilii,,l. aelIa-s vap-
ital, invested in railways in this state.
This is rather too mischievous to be en-
dorsed by intelligent, fair-minded peo-
pie.

Did Rot Want His Style Cri-

In writing his opinions and other doc

possible, the definite article. He would
write page after page without a s1ngle

found out, nor, indeed, dared to find
out, except the jocular Justice Grier,
who alone could take liberties with his
dignltied colleague from Maine. Once,

asked, slapping Clifford on tie back as
he spoke: ''ClitTy, old boy, what makes

a Queer Marriage Ceremony

- k"SCE HAEEISAse NeFekaOhfs
Belfast (Ms.) Journal.
A queer case OF marriage took place
II this county, where one of the con-
tracing parties belonged to Belfast.
The wife subsequently became a pauper,
and the authorities ascertained that the
marriage, which took place in Frank
fort, was bogus one, and claimed that
they were not holden for the support of
the woman. The man who acted as JUS
tIce SAID the ceremony was performed as
a joke, that the contracting parties had
no certificate, and that his commission
as justice of the peace had expired. The
following is the ceremony used at the
wedding:
Beneath this roof in pleasant weather,
Join this man and maid together
Let none but Him who rules the hundsr,
Put this man and maid assunler -
Ex-Governor Crosby was consulted
and pronounced the marriage legal. and
the keeper of the poor at Belfast man
tanned the woman until her death.
There is heavy fine for a person to per
form marriage ceremony who is not
qualified.
