charge made against j. Wesly Washington,
policeman, beg leave TO report that they have
made full and thorough examination into the
facts of the case, and are satisfied that it was
clearly case of mistaken identity, and the
man pursued By Mr. Raines was not Washing

was on duty that morning in West Jackson,
and had only been relieved about the time Of
The occurrence Washington has always

Oranges, Lemons, bananas and
other tropical fruits are grown in album

Texas can produce by far a create,
variety of fruits, grain and vegetables
than any other state.
The great variety of climates, soils

The Gulf breeze is very refreshing
for a distance of from one hundred

The area of prairie country and con-

five times greater than the timbered
portion of Texas.
There are three principal kinds of
soil in Texas, viz. the black waxy, the
chocolate or mulatto and the sandy,
either of which will produce an incre-
dible amount OF crops if properly cul-
tivated and n sufficient amount of rain
fall is had.
There is no easier country in which
to produce pork then Texas, and there
is no place where so little is raised and
where it bears so high prices as in
Texas.

The Strength OF the Nihilists.
Prom All The Year Round.

TIE great strength of the NihiilSts
faction is in the hold which they have
over the Tchinn or official nobility oil
Russia. The real titled noblesse' oil

tune, but tenth are of Russian piood'
the remainder being OF Tartar, ueor'
eian, Finnish, Polish or German aes'
cent, would in many cases be cofonee'
ed lotus eaters were they but let alone
TO spend their rental in Nice, Par's'
Trouyille. There is discomfort enough
however, on public or private grounds,
among many of these highly placed
persons, and princesses and countesses
of the Russian aristocracy plunge into
political conspiracy as feverishiy as
French great ladies dabble in the
speculation of the Bourse. The police
of st. Petersburg and Moscow would
not dare to put before the emperors
eyes an approximately accurate list
of the names of those magnates and
great ladies who have given more or
less active countenance to the ever
brewing revolution. Even court cham
berlains, when they doff their ceremon'
ial coats, marked in gold thread with
the glorifed key that denotes their
functions, and cease to bow and smlrk
on the rare occasions of pomp that now
exist, are as ready as their neighbors to
indulge in little mild treason. 81

Of all who. on Muscovite soil, speak

fashion observed.
That the real headquarters of the
Nihilists should be, at least ostenslbly,
in Geneva, is not so paradoxical as it
at fret sight appears. A small country
and neutral republic afford the very
best base of operations to the consplr-
otor SO long as contraband of war
does not get struggled across the from
tier. there is nothing to involve Swift
zerland in awkward complications,
while It would be absurd to apply to
Berne the diplomatic pressure which,
with some friction, makes itself felt in
Paris and Vienna. As in Holland OF
old 90 now in the Helvetian confed-
aracy. plotters find home, and are
tolerated, if not smpathized with, by a
cantonal government that desires moth
inc better than that foreigners should
live and spend their money on the
shores of Lake Leman. A Russian
resident in Geneva of the Nihillst per-
suasion is just as well known by the
native community as Macaulay tells us
was the case with the English exlles IN
Amsterdam when the duke OF Mon
armed Indiamen were riding
at anchor in the offing, and the schout
or high bailiff of the city, protested
himself unable to identify the foreign
visitors who were about to start TOR the

visitor can easily mark the changes
from year to year. Water street, that
long years ago was the beach or

spray dashed during every consider

was a swamp Of several acres, filled
with stagnant water, filth and dis

are located the churches, schools and
residences, is Il beautiful spot, and is
dear to the hearts of all citizens. The
growth Of Port Townsend has never
