GETTING FAMOUS.

If that cash balance at Austin doesn't
! live in song and story. when the old
aloalde and all the rest of us have gone
to heaven, it will not be the fault of the
newspapers of this day and time. The
fame of the cash balance is established
here at home. We know all about tits
true figures, how it was accumulated
and everything of the kind. But Texas.
big state that she is, is all too small for
the fame of this treasure trovc, and it is
being talked of in other states SOME
what, We suppose, as Solomon was in
the Queen of Sheba's dominions. II
grows as 1t goes. Over in Arkan-
saw, where the state and the
people are poor, it is put down
at round two and baIf
million dollars. In Louisiana they put
it at three and half millions and won-
der how Texas managed to save it. We
have seen Mississippi paper that vowed
it was S4,000,000, and now the climax is
capped by the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, which pleasantly and without envy
remarks
There seems to be a fearful state of iTnpover-
ishment IN Texas. The State has So 600, 600 in
her treasury, and Is not able to have safe
place Of deposit for the money.
Really there is no telling where this
will stop. They know well enough in
Wall street what the sum Is, but the
wondrous story may travel in other di-
rections until the citizens of Michigan,
Maine or Colorado will read that Texas
has Sl0,000,000 surplus money, for which
she is not able to find "a safe place of
deposit" This fame is glorious, but it
may be dangerous. Some of these fine
days, when there is Il municipal election
at Austin and the old alcalde is out
at lhis Manor farm, We shall read of
horde of well-arned banditti swooping
down on the treasury building, captur-
ing Treasurer Lubbock and his clerks,
the guards and riding
away forever with the cash balance. The
world should know there is no such
sum at Austin. That it is but few
thousand dollars; that it is in the safest
kind of vault, with bolts and bars to
make a burglar sick; and that picked
rangers hover around it night aud day,
armed with sixteen-shot Winchesters
md ray-olrarc rro lara Ac limo, u N-o
could keep the fame of our cash balance
at home, it was well enough to slet it
grow as large as mems imaginations
could manipulate it, But the fame is
going too far and the figures are grow
ing too fast. If we call halt it is
purely in the interest of the cash bal
aneo itself and the people VINO built
it up.

NOTES OF THE DAY.

Petitions have been presented in the
legislature of Massachusetts for the re-
peal of all laws requiring vaccination.
The Chicago Herald thinks that one of
these days the folks who sign and for
ward such memorials to state capitals
Will be asking for the abolition of food
and ralment, and shelter for tine human
body, and all forms of comfort and con-
ISOLATION for the human mind.
In July, 1881, the international none
tary congress adjourned to meet again
on the 18th OF April, 1882. The dele
gates at that time seemed to entertain
the hope that before the reassemblage
the several nations there represented
might come to some agreement to fixed
ratio between silver and gold coinage.
How much progress has been made III
that direction will soon appear.
1t is pretty generally understood that
to restore Fitz John Porter to the army.
He VIII be nominated as colonel of in
fantry, to FL the first vacancy, and will
probably ask to be retired. The attor-
general is soon to render an opinion
on the question of back pay.
The supreme court Of the state of In
diana has decided that a dog is not
property, and cannot he stolen. Judge
WOrden il making this ruling, added
dogs are taxed, not because of their
value, but as police regulation, and to
discourage propagation of the species"
A corporation has just been formed
at San Francisco for the purpose of ac-
quiring property necessary for the cree
ton aud maintenance OF cremation
hall, wherein to cremate the dead, and
by actual trial to seek to popularize
cremation, and so hasten its universal
adoption.
Il have been," says the Bishop of Vic
toria Hong Kong, "again and again
stopped while preaching, with the ques-
ton, Are you an Englishman? Is not
that the country that opium comes from?
Go back and stop it, and then we will
talk about Christianity"
The Governor of Virginia has vetoed
the bill prohibiting dueling in that
state and if the legislature should stand
by him the chivalrous sons of the Old
Dominion can shoot at each others coat
tails with impunity.
The widow of President Polk, says the
American. of Nashville, has not the
means to keep up the home left by
her husband IN trust for the state of
Tennessee.
