OF the recent earthquake at Paris, he says:
Nothing less than iirst.class city IS en-

where earthquakes are scarce. We wish 1t

like ClarkSyile set up no claims 10 this sort

RENEMrERl
Remember that Davis proposed to shed
the blood of the people of Austin in his
effort to hold the state government, He
iilled the capitol with armed men, mostly
negroes, and hurled defiance at the defend
ers of popular will oar democratic con
eressmen, then in Washington, urged presi-
deaf Grant not to lend Davis tue aid of
Federal troops, then stationed here, and he
did not. Had he placed these troops at the
command Of Mr.. Davis, the crimson tide
would have Courscd the streets in Austin,
and women and children would have fallen
victims to radical bullets, while brutality
AMI rapine would have invaded sacred
hOuaeholds.-L Austin Statesman,
DECLINING.
The want of interest in public speaking
occasionally CScitos Il remark of surprise,
but not from those who have watched with
critical observance the course of public
sentiment and universal education. Pub
lie speaking, especially on the subject of
politics, has lost its novelty, is NO longer
entertaining and not as formerly, instruct
lye in any considerable degree.
Tho primitive admiration for ora
tory has lost its vOtaries and the
thrill OF cloquence has almost lost its power
upon the practical aud busluess.likc citizen
OF our time. Newspapers, periodicals and
other literary avenues furnish the inCormu-
ton which in an earlier day found It's way
to the majority from the rOstrum. Now
aud then some silvcr-tonguod oratorRrouscs
molicum of enthusiasm by magic voice
and brilliant phrases, but the wonder lasts
scarcely longer than the SChoolboy's Mblcd
hour, and is ellecUaly silenCel by some
newsy report which flashes over the wires
and finds the thousand cuger listeners

THE NRrruL ponGER,
The Houston Post is making u rcputa-
ton for lodging and oyading facts which
certainly entities it to the name of the
'Arliul Dodger' of the Texas press, II
took advantage ot mere techniCulity to
traduoc Judge Ireland and build up u
mountain out Of a mole hill, and when the
matter was fully aud fairly explained by
us, it had not the honesty to rcpubhsh
She correction, But II tries to dodge the
issue by making briet note from the
editor of the Seguin Times the basis
o. an editorial explanation. In this
explanation the Post lodges II great deal
but when siited to the bottom Il will be
found that it, in the main, substantiatcs
Judge lrclapd's charge. 1t admits that
ducing the late state press association Il
made ovcrtures to Judge Ireland through
his friends, II admits that II thought il
would make ten strike by kicking over
The traces" This is enough to show that
he was substantially correct in his charges,
