Americans, except the family Of General
Stone, are leaving to-day, or are in safety.
The greater part of the American mission

tiers getting warm. Major Tulloch.

department, who recently made q
strategical survey Of the country, has

Kansas. Texas is great state and one
that is hard to study out. My absence from
Kansas has been nearing six weeks. have
band race here are all excited over the en-
couraging news received from their colored
friends in Kansas. This fall you
can look for the largest emigra-
ton from here to Kansas that
has ever been. All speak
favorably of 0swego, Chetopa and Parsons,
These three cities will have an increase of
population unprecedented in the history of
Kansas. Here in Texas they are perse-
cuted, killed, and marks OF violence accom-
pany at least one.third of the race. In and
around Dallas at times you can walk on
dead negroes; they are killed and left to rot
on the ground where they are slain.
Thousands are killed and die here yearly
by the cruel hand Of the cowboy and the
so.called best citizens of Texas.
Every limb of tree near the ground,
bears the marks OF rope on the
upper side, where some poor, unfortunate
negro has paid the penalty for no other rea-
son than being of African descent,
How long can they endure this 1t is
nothing but right they should leave this
hell-hole of abode, and the good citizens OF
Kansas should throw open their homes and
hearts and encourage them in their new
anticipated homes. They should be wei

south God pity them and may the north
keep them.

NATURES PYRoTECHNICs
Electric Jets and Fiery Rings Seen on the
Summit of Iike's Peak

Sergeant l.. NJ. Dey, signal officer at the
summit, Pixies Peak, writes: At Si5
O'Clock this evening, on opening the door,
most curious and beautiful phenomenon
met my astonished eyes. The line on the
summit was distinctly outlined in brilliant
| light, which was thrown out from the wire
! in beautiful scintillations. On near af-
proach to the wire, these little jets of flame
could be plainly observed. They pre-
scented the appearance of little electrified
brushes or inverted cones OF Lighter more
! properly, little tunnels of light with their
points to the line, from which they issued
in little streams about the size of pencil
lead and of the brightest violet color, while
, the cone of rays was of brilliant rose
white color.
These little tunnels of light pointed from
! the line in all directions and were con-
stantly jumping from point to point
There was no heat to the light,
though it was impossible to touch
one of these little flames, for as soon al
they were approached by the finger they
would instantly vanish or jump to another
point on the line. Passing along the line
with finger extended, these little jets OF
flame were successfully "puifed out" so to
speak, to be instantly relighted in the rear.
1t was a curious and wonderful sight. No
sensation was experienced on applying the
tongue to the line. Not only was the
wire outlined in this manner but every
exposed metallic point or surface wa,
similarly tipped or covered. The cups ofthe
thermometer, which were revolving rapidly,
appeared as one solid ring Of fire, from
which issued loud rushing and Kissing
noise, The wind yane represented q fam
ing arrow, and small round wooden stake
stuck up in the snow to show the posi-
ton of the gauge-was similarly tipped, as
well as an angle of our stone chimney.
In placing my hands close over the re-
volving cups of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the
electrical excitement was abundant--not
the slightest sensation of heat was discov-
cred, but my hands instantly became
ahame. On raising them and spreading my
fingers, each of them became tipped with
one or more beautiful cones of light, nearly
three inches in length. The flames issued
from my fingers with rushing noise, sim
liar to that produced by blowing briskly
against the end of the finger when placed
lightly against the lips, accompanied by u
cracking sound.
There was a feeling as ola current of va
por escaping with a slight tingling sensa-
ton. The wristband of my wooden shirt
as soon as it became dampened, formed q
fiery ring around my arm, while my mus
tache was lighted up so as to make verit-
able lantern of my face. The phenomenon
was preceded by lightning and thunder,
and was accompanied by a dense driving
snow, and disapr cared suddenly at S:55,
simultaneously with the cessation of the
snow. Imuch regret that there was no one
on the Peak to witness the phenomenon
with NETT was wondrously beautiful
sight--[Colorado Springs Republican.

How ID Rains i'm Fgypt.

The climate of Cairo resembles very much
that of Cyprus. 1t very rarely rains in
that delightful island, but when it does
rain it pours. On these occasions in the
towns on the seaboard, the water rushes
down to the sea in raging torrents, carry
ing the metalling of the roads, huge bould-
ers and the accumulated filth OF months
along with it. Portions of the roofs of
houses are washed away and the in
terror inundated, and when you seek
your bedroom at night you are liable to fird
your iron bedstead camped majestically in
three or four inches of water and the sheets
and mattresses soaking. Sometimes in the
midst of lunch you are startled by fearful
sound, recalling what you have read about
the dreadful earthquake at Chios. Drop
ping your knife and fork, and piece OF
that everlasting roast lamb-almost the
only dressed meat eatable in the island
sticking in your throat, you enquire what
the matter may be. People rush out to
see, and quickly return, with the air of
persons who are sorry that they took the
trouble to get up from the table, and with
the information that 1t was Mr.. So-and-So's
house that had tumbled down.
The rainfall in Cairo on Saturday was
very similar to this. 1t came down, as l
have already said, in torrents. People first
OF all took very little notice oft. AT the
commencement they went bravely through
it and felt quite happy, They knew" it
would not last long, and then it is such an
unusual thing for it to rain in Cairo / no.

Gradually the horses began to drip and

around the soiled tarbooshes and pedes-

try to pick their way through the liquid
mud that was slowly inundating the sandy
thoroughfares. 1t rained like this for six
hours with the result that number Of the

To Ise Relistricted.

The legislature of South Carolina will
convene in extra session for the purpose of
redistricting the congressional districts, the
recent apportionment bill having given it
two more members Ill the house. The
scheme proposed, and which will most
likely be carried out is 10 SO divide the
counties that six of the seven members to
be elected will be democrats. To do this a
considerable amount of gerrymanderng
will have to be rcsorted to, but excellent
examples for such resort have recently been
furnished by the republican legislatures OF
Massachusetts,, Ohio, Illinois, and other
northern and western states.

the reputation of being among the
most accomplished educators in the

there never was school that better united

school in East Texas.
Hon. George 7. Todd was chosen to de.
liver the address, which took place yester.
day before an immense audience. His sub
ject was "Texas." and well was it calculated
to kindle the fires of patriotism in the
bosoms of all who have the honor to claim
Texas as their home, especially native Tex.

sTeclal Dispatch 10 the intcii:Gencer. E
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The execution
Of Gniicau has been followed by 4 general
sense oI relief that tho curtain has finally
dropped on the last act Of the great ma
tIoHal tragedy, and that the assassination
oi President Garfield, so lar MS possible TO

1t is impossible to describe the feeling

OF the eilorts that were making TO procure
the assassin n respite or commutation. 1t
could not be said that persons thus inter.
cedlng for the assassin were ailcranl;s, or
persons OF small repute. Among them
were physicians Of admitted mole
AMI others Of influence and re-
spectability. There was an omiuous ap.
prhension that possibly the President
might be induced 10 interfere. He was
Known to be in receipt OF letters from quite

nlls Of various ranks in society to grant
at least few days or few waeks for more
thorough inquiry into the prisoners mental

shock to the country with serious conse-
qiences There is no telling what might
have occurred had he vcntured thus to
confront and provoke the universal senti-
ment of the people that the law must be
allowed to take its course. 1t is more than
probable that he would have been held to
IN accountability greater than he or the
Administration could stand up under.
It is not believed that tho
President ever had tho slightest intention

All day yesterday II was evident that

having tho Jail officials resign, In order
that the hour OF execution might pass be-
fore others could be installed. There has
been much speculation rs to the possibility
Of his escaping hanging by taking poison,
and to this end there has been comment
upon the possibility Of Mrs. scoville's
transmitting to him poison pill
in taking parting kiss. There were
no grounds for any Of these surmises,

when Writ parted with his wife the day
