The Galveston Journal points out
several bright, witty paragraphs in the
Brennan Independent in contrast with
the puns in the Austin Siftings. The
Journal says
Discarding the verbiage we might
give the points of some of them as for
example: A citizen calling on the gov
ernor finds him engaged, apologies
with a ''beg pardon!" The o. a. there
upon replies, II was not aware you
were a candidate for executive elem
ency." Again, a railway passenger
heard the cry of "all aboard" after
only six bites at the eating station.
When questioned concerning his re-
past, he replied: 81 got a six-bit
lunch" As Illustrating the similarity
between dogs and sheep the fact is
cited that the former have fleas and
the latter have fleece also. A country
merchant tells customer: ave have
only thirty minutes for dinner" when
the rustic replies: "Well, give me
some crackers and cheese and you can
have all the thirty minutes for your
self" He evidently didn't care to
make a meal time. 1t is further re-
marked by this humorous daily that
Galveston is admirably situated for
bay-windows;" that the telegraph COM
pany should be made to pay pole
tax" that trade winds are caused by
the blowing of drummers, etc. Now
if Sifkins would pattern after the In
dependent and introduce few points
into its jokes, even should it be forced
to resort to punning as the means, the
ambitious hebdomidal might gain re-
cognition as humorous paper. When
has any one seen SO much wit in Sif-
kins as we have condensed into this
one article from the Brenham Inde-
pendent

A white mist drifts across the shrouds,
A wild moon in this wintry sky q.
Cleans like an angry lions eye
Out of name Of tawny clouds.
The muflled steersman at the wheel
Is but shadow in the gloom;-

Leap the long rods of polished steel.

Upon this huge and heaving dome,
For the thin threads ofyellow foam
Float on the waves like ravelled lace.

Eight years ago there was only $I2o, 900 in
vested in steamers on the st. ohns, Florida.
Now there are twenty-eight steamers plying
on that river, one of which cost $24o, 900, and
to this fleet constant additions are making.
The Indian River and South Florida lakes
and inlets are now dotted with sailboats, car
rying freight to and fro. In very short time
these will be supplemented by steamers, und
then new region will be opened of surprising
fertility and beauty.
Little girls are perfect miniature copies of
the Kate Greenway pictures, with their large
hats, or poke bonnets, their quaint Mother
Hubbard cloaks and gathered frocks. Six of
them were bridesmaids at wedding the other
day, and the mutes, nearly of height, stood
in a row, attired in white cashmere gowns,
red hose, red plush bonnets, and carriedered
plush bags.
Bonnets and hats are almost exclusively or
namented with feathers and devices in plu-
mage of different kinds, flowers being only
considered applicable to theater or wedding
bonnets; and then the flowers are oftenest
used alone without any foliage. For bonnets
made of plumage there is quite furore, and
the favorite feather toques are made % do duty
for bonnets by being worn off the face with
strings.

CH1NcH BUG VALLEY, May H.
As the LEDGER hasn't heard from
this part Of the world for sometime,
thought I would drop you a line.
The chinch bugs are very numerous
down here. The other day we were
passing along and noticed some Of
these insects swarming all over
snake. Upon closer examination, il
proved to bea green and black spotted
reptile, and the chinch bugs had
tackled it and taken its life. Durinl

sects we're washed down and swan
ashore, and all the green frogs in tn
vicinity persisted by their bills. Sew
eral Greenbackers were left over from
LAST faIl's campaign, but the bugs
have cleaned ''em out.
Candidates had best be on thu
watch for chinch bugs, or they vii
lose their heads in the canvass.
At a recent meeting Of the Prohibi'
tionists of Chinch Bug Valley it wa
unanimously resolved, "That the
chinch bugs have plundered TIN.

that Gov. Crittenden offer a reward

1t is rumored that invitations will
be out at an early day for a grand en-
tertainment to be given at the close Of
Prof. Mahler's dancing school series
in this city, and that the school viii
give abeneft at the Central Hotel
on the evening of June End. From
what we have been able to gather this
will be one of the most pleasant
entertainments of the season. The
"May-pole Dance" by the children
of the school will be at an early hour,
8 O'Clock, which will give parents ar
opportunity of taking their Titles ones
without a loss of much rest. Instead
Of a supper, the school will have 8
strawberry festival, the net proceeds
of which they will give for the benefit
of the Episcopal Church. This is {
very laudable spirit, for this particu'
lar church seems to be more needy
than any other Of our large denomi
nations. The hop for adults vii
begin. at 10 O'Clock, when good must,
and good dancing will make merry
the hearts of the old as well as tn,
young.

EDUCATIONAL.

There is a bill before Congress APP
propriating ten millions of dollars for
five years to educational purposes to
be divided among the states in pro-
portion to the illiterates, white and
black, existing among them. OF
course, upon such a basis, the late
extreme slave states will get the larg-
est proportion of what shall be dis
tributed, and perhaps this, among
others, is not the least of the objec-
tons that have been made to the pro-
posed bill. In all these states there
are systems Of education supported
by local taxation as great in the judg-
ment of their citizens, and, in most OF
them greater, in the opinion of their
white populations, than they ought to
be, and is difficult to see how this
money can be safely and honestly
applied by national authority without
injurious interference with what has
been already projected. The national
government meets its OUTLAWS almost
wholly by taxation, and there are
abundant opportunities of getting rid
of the money in the treasury. 1t is
obvious that it might be applied with
great benefit to the extinguishment
of the national debt; but that would
reduce taxation, and furnish no means
of fomenting dissention, provoking
dissatisfaction, and breaking up the
solid south. If money must be ap'
propriated for teaching illiterates tc
read and write, let whatever is givez
be divided among the states, as here
tefore land has been donated to then
for similar purposes. 1t would bt
far wiser and far more just to tax
payers, however, to apply all surplus
money to relieving them of their al
ready too great burdens.

CAMPAIGN, 1882.
IRELAND.

AS was to have been expected, after
the dastardly and brutal assassination
of Secretaries Cavendish and Burke,
there has been introduced into the
British Parliament an usually strin-
gent bill for the suppression of crime
in Ireland, which, upon its first read
ing, was supported by a vote of 327
to %. This shows that the crime
committed has produced an irresisti-
BILE pressure, giving further proof, if
any were necessary, that assassina-
ton never settles anything, never
gains friends and that no cause can
survive its cruel and cowardly assist
ance. Possibly the work done was
the act of irresponsible miscreants
connected with some secret associa-
ton in Ireland; but, although Ire
land repudiates their deed, and it is
to be hoped she does so in her heart
of hearts, its consequences are likely
to be d%eplorable, coming as they do
just as light seemed to be breaking
upon the unfortunate condition of
that island.
The bill alluded to is almost certain
to become a law; but it is too soon,
at this distance from the scene, to
forecast its ultimate result. By it,
the pacification Of Ireland by conces.
sion, even to its most reasonable de-
mands, is necessarily abandoned.
Ireland must now prepare to suffer.
Only through patience can that un.
fortunate country appease the anger
that has been aroused, and certify te
the British Government that it car
with safety loosen its grip up it. The
bill is of the most stringent character,
1t strips the subject in Ireland of in
dividual rights and personal safe
guards, and, if improperly and vim
dictively administered, cannot fail t.
be destructive of liberty. 1t bristles
with restrictions, rights of search an6
powers of arrest. 1t goes to the bot
tom of all known governmental sever
ity arbitrarily and speedily. Nothing
can save Ireland from the most de
plorable visitation but cautious anG
lenient administration Of it. Healy
denounced the bill as comforting hang
ing powers upon three judges On any
trumped up evidence. Cowan de
claredthat it virtually put life, liberty
and property in Ireland in the hand
of Lord Spencer.
