The fact is familiar to all, that an ordinary
envelope may readily be opened by mostening
the paper over the gum, alter which operation,
if done neatly, the contepta may be noted, and
the mi,sive again sealed and sent TO its des
tination. A perfect safety envelope, however
not one admitting OF any manipulation
may, it is said, be secured by trea.ing that
part Of the paper covered by the flap with a
solution OF chronic acid. ammonia. sulphuric
acid, suHpha,e OF copper, and fine white paper
The flap itself is coated with a solution OF

DOMESTIC TELEakAPHIC NEWS.

PRESIDENT TRAVELLING FOR HIS HEALTH.
Washington, October Oft is announced
that President Arthur will leave Alexander
Bay Tomorrow for New York. Some of the
most intimate friends Of the President, it is
said, regret that he is not content to remain
in his present seclusion q few weeks longer.
If report, which is just beginning to reach
the public is correct, the president is threat
ehed with somewhat serious kidney dis
order, which may develop into something
alarming If he does not take the necessary care
of himself. Mental worry and luxurious living
aggravate Inc disorder. What the president
needs. il is said, is quiet and res, for reason
able time. 1t seems that in going to Alexan-
der Bay he followed the advice of DIR. Marion
Sims, the celebrated New York physician,
who, it is said, stated to the president that
quiet and rest were absolutely necessary for
him.

the Chinese treaty, and that the law cannot be
construed as forbidding the landing of meY-
chants, travellers, students, ETC., they no, be-
ing laborers.

Address to Wool Growers.


We the undersigned committee appointed
by the wool growers and wool merchants as
sembled in San Antonio, to draft an address
to the wool growers Of the tenth congressional
district, on the tariff views of candidates for
congressional honors:
Having listened to the speech Of Hon. John
Hancock, and having subsequently inter-
viewed him, and heard him express his senti-
ments, have no hesitation in saying that his
tariff sentiments are adverse to our interests.
We urge that sheepmen and their friends
use their power at the ballot b. to defeat his
election, not for political reasons, but for our
own protection and the good of the country.
The pledge made by the wool growers as
ISOLATION binds US to oppose any candidate
who does not favor protection. This pledge
reads:
"Resolved-That we, the wool growers of
Texas, in convention here assembled, do SOL
emily pledge ourselves to one another, and to
the people Of the United States, not to support
any man for Office in the national legislature
who does not emphatically. and IN good faith,
advocate protection ofthe wool growing inter,
est against foreign importation"
And we think this should express the senti-
ments of every wool grower in the state.

This morning a workman on the new
building on Alamo plaza threw large rope
from the top of the building down to the side
walk, which just missed the head of lady
passing about one foot. Had it struck her,
serious injury would likely have resulted
Those men should be more careful.

no money to buy them, but he did not believe
the insinuation justi6able. The governor also
took occasion to reply to statement made by
Lubbock that he, Davis, had drawn pay as a
Judge, for the time he was in the service of the
government as a colonel. He did not hear
this statement but had been told that Lub-
book had made it. When the war broke out
he had refused to take the oath of allegiance
to the southern confederacy. His office was
declared vacant, but he simply stood aside
and afterwards learning of his intended arrest
left the state, and on the 9th of October, 1862,
accepted a commission as colonel in the fed
eral army and served until the war was over.
In 1866, the ordinance of secession was de-
clared null and void, and the salary of Sam
Houston as governor, was voted to his heirs
and he as a legal officer Of the state came for
wnrd and got his salary as Judge for the time,
he was entitled to it, as he had not been dis
placed by any recognized authority, and did
not vacate until he became a colonel in the
army which vacates his office. Judge Duval
drew his pay as Federal Judge during the
time of the confedrote suspension and the
right to his, Davis, salary had been recog-
nized by the acts of the state government un-
der Throckmorton. We regret that we did
not have reporter on the stand to secure the
governors remarks, as they were very we'll
put; he also spoke of the abuse being heaped
upon him and that the bottom would drop out
Of the campaign if he should cease to exist,
but he had become used to being abused and
did not propose now to be drawn into an
angry discussion, but to remain good natured
to the end of the campaign.
Upon the request Of the wool growers, the
governor read the address which condemns
Hancock tariff views.
The governors remarks were enthusiastic
ally received, and the large crowd dissolved
in the best of humor, and settled conviction
that Hancock's goose is cooked.

Rev. Young on Pistols.

Quite good sized audience was at the
Soledad street M. E. church last night to hear
Rev. w. J. Young talk about pistol carrying
and shooting. He took for his text the goth
verse Of the fifth chapter Of Mathew. The
following is synopsis of his remarks: "We
have been shocked during the past year of
the rapidly growing evil in our midst Of pistol
carrying and shooting. am glad to see that
the people are becoming aroused and alarmed
at this dreadful fact, and that our daily pres.
is calling attention to, and condemning this
great growing evil. Men are too quick to re-
sent an imaginary offense, and pull pistol
and shoot on the slightest provocation." Re-
fered to the law Of self defense, as inter-
preted from a sctiptural standpoint. ''We
may act literally, but at the same time violate
its real and true teachings"
He said: "The law Of self defense cannot
be changed, because God has implanted the
principle in the heart Of all human beings
even the animals and brute creation have been
given some power OF selfprotecton and de
tense. God gave US this life to defend, and it
is our duty to defend it. but it is our duty TO
avoid danger aud ward off same, when life is
in danger. But thus defense does not mean
resentment, and that We are to resent every
little imaginary danger. Pride and fear OF
public opinion, and a desire for vengeance, is
the cause of many of our crimes. A man is a
coward who will accept challenge to fight and
resen, every little imaginary wrong, and he is
brave who can refuse and frown down public
opinion Victory does not always prove our
innocence. Virtue often gets her greatest
power by crucihxion. Here he referred to
Christ as an exampleI A true gentleman, he
said, can always command respect and esteem,
even among the toughest and vilest of men.
II you have been slandered prove to the world
it IS SANDER by the purity your &C ions. He
again called attention to the evil practice OF
pistol carrying in this community, and APP
pealed to his hearers to take Christ for exam
pie, and we Ill become better men,"

"YOu will remember that when | called for nv

gave the shop door, it was quite evident that
he did
