THE LIFE OF ROBERT BURNs.-The
December number of Ballou's Magazine
contains the best and most expressive
short account of the life of Robert Burns.
the Scotch poet, that we have ever read.
1t was prepared with great care by Mr..
John d. Ross, of New York, an admirer
of the poet, yet written with great i'm
partiality and fidelity. 1t should be
read by the many million friends of
Burns, for there is much that is new and
interesting in it. In addition, Bdllou
contains large amount of reading mat
ter. Remember that the January num-
Der of BaIlou's Magazine will contain
the first part Of the great story, 1.-THE
Belle of Australia" by VIM. F. Thomes,
author Of ''The Gold-Hunters, "a
Whaleman's Adventures" sc. Back
numbers can always be had. Send ten
cents for specimen copy if your news
dealer does not have it on sale, and you
will not regret it. Published by Thomes
& Talbot, 80 Hawley Street, Boston,
Mass, at only $1.50per annum, postpaid,
and for sale at all the news depots in the

Fx,NrSrR OFFICE, January N--
Again we have the frown of the weather
upon us and the mildew lies timex upon
commercial circles. There were ie"
bales of cotton in at which buyers
snapped with an amusing zeal ilttle
nroduce. little forage, these constituted
the receipts OF the day. The scarcity
of forage has produced considerable
distress and prices are correspondlhgiy
high. On al.
market and are picked up greedlly.
Some attempts have been made to make
future sales. but resulted IN nothing. II
oats were in the market now they would
bring fine price.
Mr.. Henry Stafford Northcote, men,
Der of parliament, who recently return
ed from America, addressing his con
stituency at Exeter, said he did not be-
lieve in a decrease of American compe-
tition in the food market. 1t was, ne
said, idle to talk OF the exhaustion OF
American lands. The supply OF land
for many years to come, IN the great
northwest, will be boundless.
1t Is amusing to notice the vast differ
ence in cotton estimates. A careful sur
vey OF the acreage Of all the cotton
states was recently made by Il New
York syndicate dealing in cotton, and
they fell far short of the regular cotton
exchange estimates, the difference being
only about million bales,
The other day $4,000 was bid for a
full membership OF the New York cotton
exchange.

oUw COUNTY DADS.
A FIaItcrIu2 Cash Balance and
all Debts Paid.

1t WAS only few day ago that We
picked ~ on hotel table copy of an
Indiana paper and glancing over II cas-
ually found that one OF the most wealthy
and populous counties of that state had
announced that there was in thu treasu-
Eg "51, 700, after spending SS6 on the
Danvllle turnpike, and no further de-
mands that the treasury was obliged to
meet" If We thought seriouly that
Indiana would have appreciated it we
would have gone ont and bought whole
box of hats and cast them into the air
at one oss, with our hoOray attached
but the chances. as the idea struck us,
would be that we were trying to get up
another rebellion and our enthusiasm
failed US. We have no idea that our
brother editor who published that re
port of the county's standing for a
moment thought there was another
county in the Union that could show
such cash balance. There might be
some which could raise longer hoop
poles and more of them and cultivate
more razor-backed pigs and yell
low pumpkins to the square acre
but that county gingled the
good old dust seven cen hundred strong
III lIc DOtlOil VI Il Nllbi SdCh anu Lllt
world WAS obliged to know it. We are
glad to know that Indi4na has popu
lous and thrifty county with seventeen
hundred dollars cash IN the till, but We
would not want to see the smile strug-
Cling to reach across the faces of our
county commissioners if they had to an
nounce that McLCnnan county had only
that much to her credit. 1t would Ger
tainly be burlesquing happiness if they
smiled over such d record. The sires of
our county have been sitting for the last
two days in our behalf, passing OF ac-
counts, road matters and other work and
yesterday they heard the report Of cOun-
tv treasurer J. d. Wallace, which shows
that McLennan couuty's tin box has now
in good current coin of the realm
81, 44225, and not a cent of indebted
ness. We are sorry the indiana paper,
which We glanced over did not give the
rate of county taxation. We manage to
keep little cash balance on hand with
the rate down as low as ten cents
on the one thousand dollars,
keep up our courts, Jail, roads, poor
house, pay onr county officers and each
Of us steal enough to go north every
summer and have good time. But
when this part Of Texas gets annexed to
Indiana We may be able
TO let the world know when We get sew
enteen hundred dollars cash on hand;
until then We suppose we will have to
"wallow in the poverty OF wealth." and
listen to our distant friends talk.
Meanwhile We can read with an i'm
mense degree of satisfaction the reports
from our far off neighbors,
while we reflect that not only this one
but the counties surrounding us are
very timId about announcing that as
small a sum as seventeen hundred dol
lars drains the treasury when taken ont.

Through a strid"c.

The unfortunate fireman Joe Ba mes,
who was on the engine that went
through the bridge on the Central be-
tween Albany and Cisco, never saw the
light of day after he struck the stream.
He was carried down on his engine,
and, caught by the Debris, was buried
in the stream, when, after being taken
out several hours afterward, it was
found that he was terribly mangled.
The engineer reported killed was only
slightly hurt. He made miraculous
escape and no one up to this time can
tell how he escaped. The engine stands
twenty-five feet below the bridge pilot
pointing upward, and behind her are
the two cars, loaded with wool, which
went in. AS Far as we can learn the ac-
cident was entirely the result of rain
and high water, the bridge being
weakened thereby, and no blame at
taches to the train men The fireman
who was killed had been sick in this
city for some time and was on his first
or second run when this sudden death
overlook him.
