The Texas Boundary

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE judicial v
committee of tho house will prepare bill
providing ior'the appointment of commits
sion to meet commission appointed by tho
state of Texas, for the purpose of settling
disputed questions relating to the boundary
line between the state and other states ana
territories. On January the senate called
upon the interior department for the report
OF survey OF a similar commission made
before the war, in 1859. In response, the
department furnishes great mass of mat
ter which has been published by the gov.
ernmcnt. The volume covers more than
800 pages, and there are with il many
maps, which, by themselves, make vol.
ume an inch thick. A complete copy of the
commissions field and astronomical work
is printed with all the Typographical
sketches. The survey terminated in n
quarrel between the commissioner of the
United States and the commissioner Of
Texas. The Texas commissioner aban.
doned his work, and the office work of the
United States commissioner was never COM
pletcd, A part of the correspondence re-
latng to the quarrel is interesting. Some
of the letters describe the quarrel with ap.
parent fidelity to the smallest details, and
report conversations In which profane Ian.
guage played u prominent part. The cost
OF the work which was done was about $50
900, The United States commissioner also
had quarrel with the commissioner of the
land office, whom he charged with being in.
capable of approaching the scientific merits
of his labors.

A Persistent Vermont Girl

Two years ago the newspapers all con.
tanned accounts Of the romantic marriage
by telegraph ola Vermont girl to wealthy
Californian, but the denoument has never
been revealed to the public. After months
of patient waiting, the young bride, who
had never seen the face of the husband,
whose acquaintance she had made through
correspondence, started for the west to
Join the Grant bridegroom. From
various points on the road she
telegraphed ahead the date Of her
coming, to insure preparations for her re-
0eption. But when she finally reached Los
Angeles the bridegroom did not make his
appearance, but in his stead she found GER
tain respectable citizens, who, indignant at
the deception which had been practiced.
came to acquaint her with the character OF
her quondam husband, and to help her to
return TO her friends. She learned that her
youthful lover was an old and gray.haired
man whose weslth was visionary, an imprac-
teal enthusiast whose sixth wife, after being
duped into marriage with him, had fled
back to her England home. The man lived
naked like an Indian, and slept In tree.
In the face OF this startling array of facts,
the women held true to her electric mar.

and lived with him in the open air, until by
her assistance they managed TO raise rude
roof over their heads. And now another

Sufficiently AnOinted.

A funny incident took place at the
insane asylum not long ago. The viii
lage pastors take turns in holding Sun
day services at the institution, and
when the Baptist minister's turn came
he preached from the passage, "Then
took Mary a pound of ointment of
spikenard, very costly" etc. The
Methodist and Unitarian parsons by
some strange coincidence had the same
text the following two Sundays, but
their hearers stood the ordeal without
wincing. On the next Sunday, how
ever, when the Congregational minis
ter repeated the text, there was II per
ceptible sensation in the audience
Women nudged each other and giggled
and men shook and coughed in vain
attempt to restrain their feelings over
what they seemed to think was huge
joke. The preacher, accustomed to his
crazy hearers and considering their ac-
tions merely a freak, went through
with his sermon, a ripple of amusement
passing over the audience at intervals.
When the service was over and the
people were leaving the room, one old
stager sidled up to companion and
audibly exclaimed, Guess we're 'inted
enough now" And the whole story
came out Republican BrattleborO

The Friend Of Animals.

In recent letter Mr.. Bergh with
Just pride asserts the great service that
the Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals has accomplished. Be
fore its organization, says Mr.. Bergh,
and truly, '"Thc eyes of the citizens
were continually confronted with the
most painful and demoralizing exhibi-
tions of cruelty to domestic animals.
Calves were carried along through the
streets in Il manner shocking to behold,
dog and cock fights were of nightly
occurrence, and kind treatment of that
nOblest of animals, the horse, was the
exception and not the rule and what
is worse than all, a sentiment of inhu-
manity was engendered thereby, which
made itself felt in all the relations of
life.
"No respectable journal or citizen
will deny that during the sixteen years
of its unseliish labors Il vast reform has
taken place in everything relating to
the treatment of animals, and that a
spirit of tenderness and mercy toward
those humble creatures has taken the
place of almost universal Indifference
Starting alone in this civilizing work
at the beginning, it has spread its eX-
ample over two-thirds of our vast
country and more than that, has Civ
en- t0 it and to the world the first or
ganized institution for the prOtec-
tion of the children of mankind from
cruelty"
There is no doubt that the spectacle
of inhumanity has largely disappeared,
and that every driver that falls into Il
rage with his horse is restrained by the
consciousness of "A probable cloud of
witnesses. Indeed when we think not
only of our dependence upon the do
mestic animals, but upon the fOndness
of every household for its dog or horse,
it is surprising that no voice was lifted
with authority and power for these
dumb friends and companions until
Mr.. Bergh spoke.
If only the dumb could speak, and
the benefited know their benefactor.
no statesman in the land, and probably
no other man, would hear a chorus of
gratitude at once so universal and so
