A point is being made that the
trial of the worthless wretch (,ui-
teau has cost the government tiftv
thousand dollars. That is had
enough, certainly; IL It was all the
cost, the government is rich enough
to stand the waste. But neither
government nor people is strong
enough to bear, without great h1-
initiation, the expense in disgrace
that characterized the conduct OF
that trial.

TIE Providence journal says
,"Several days ago Governor William
Sprague voluntarily accorded to Mr..
Robert M. Thompson, trustee for
Kate Chase Sprague, permission to
enter CanOnchet and take possession
of her magnificent wardrobe and
that of her children for the purpose
of forwarding 1t to her at Edge

ing velvets, satins, silks, and rare
laces, amounting in value to many
thousand dollars, were carefully
packed in boxes and other recep-
tacles and shipped and expressed
from Narragansett Pier yesterday.
Many of the dresses were designed
by Worth and are marvels OF ele-

The story of the men who robbed
South Carolina and despoiled and
oppressed her people is a confima-
tion of the faith that God is God
who remembers and Furnishes.
There is ample reason for belief that
the desperate hands of maddened
men were withheld from striking
their prosecutors, that the Lord
might deal with the Haunting vio-
olators of all His laws. Probably no
body of men has ever had SO many
deaths and disasters in proportion
to numbers as the Radical rulers of
South Carolina

A COMMON meridian is asked for
in the resolution offered in the house
by Mr.. Flower-a zero of longitude
and a standard of time reckoning
throughout the globe. Though
all standard units of time," says Sir
John Herschel, "are equally possi-
BILE, theoretically speaking, yet all
are not, practically speaking, equal
ly convenient" The same ap-
plies to meridians of longi-
tude. While one might do
as a general standard of reckon
ing special meridians appear to be
absolutely necessary. Ferro, in the
Canary Islands, has been suggested
as the most appropriate prime
meridian but the fact that it is one
to which all nations are indifferent
makes its selection offensive to all.
The New York Herdtd thinks it
would be difficult to secure unani-
nifty in the international gathering
at Washington which Mr.. Flowers
resolution calls for. Expert
ment only can decide wheth-
er delegates from all the gov
ernments can be made to see
alike sufficiently to secure the adop-
tion of a common meridian. Could
unanimity be measurably obtained
on this subject, so important to
science and navigation, the world
might nave a common standard OF
time, which, in this day of the null
tiplication of ocean cables, and tele-
graph lines, would considerably fa-
cilitate the transactions of business
in all countries.

THERE are indications of a great
rush of people to Washington about
June 80, in the hope of being able
to see something OF Guiteau's execu-
tion, but any such visit to the capi-
tai will be useless. The assassin's
closing entertainment will be strictly
quiet-only a few officials and re-
porters will be present to bear wit
ness that Gmteau's last jump proves
a good job.

THE presence of armed French
and English squadrons at Alexan-
dria, Egypt, is just now absolutely
necessary. Great alarm is felt
among the Americans, French and
English living there, for there is
no telling when a general massacre
of these will DE attempted. 1t is
alone the presence of the French
and English armaments that COM
mands the situation.

This story of Dan Rice has never
been told in the ring. After leaving
New Orleans couple of years since
he wrote back to the hotel keeper
saying, IL lett my overcoat at your
house. Send it by express to Gin

ing. The hotel man wrote back
" You left nothing here but an un-

with that?" The great humOrist OF
the ring has not yet answered the
last question.

FOR CONGRESS.

Texas Neeo Era, &c. By: E. S.
Terry, Esq, editor of the Wills
Pointer, informs us that Colonel G..
B. KilgOre is the Democratic fa-
vorite for congress from the west
end of this, the third district. Col
onel Kilgore is well and favorably
known to the people of Gregg,
Rusk, Smith, Harrison and PanOla
counties, and will doubtless receive
some support from all of these
counties. If we are to be repre-
sented by a Democrat, we would
prefer Colonel Kilgore to any man
the Democratic convention will
nominate in this district, as a NOM
inee candidate.

first principles underlying university
manners. Young men who attend
universities ought to be placed upon
the plane of men in their social inter-
course with their preceptors. The
university student should be put
upon his own responsibility, both as
to study and conduct. How de-
grading it must be to young men
for the members of a university
faculty to resolve themselves into a
scouting party, armed and equip
ped for war, TO harrass and tanta-
lize with vulgar espionage grown
up pupils. The student is first de-
graded, and then the degrading pro-
lessor degrades himself. Minnesota
is behind a great many states-far
behind Texas. Had these profess
sors been here they would have vio-
lated the Texas law in making arse
mails OF themselves; and were they in
charge of a Texas school, they would
very soon find employment in
Mexico or Minnesota.

man to run for congress other than

A Successful Farmer:

(. Mr.. c. III. Hartnett, who owns farm of
three hundred and twenty acres of fine
land in section "a, township "a, range, IL.
in Stafford county, is one of the leading
farmers of that county, and the outcome
of his labors this season fully demonstrates
what can be done by work and faithful
attention to business. This year he raised
the following crops 60 acres of wheat,
which yielded 1900 bushels; 80 acres of
corn, which viii yield crop estimated
at 1900 bushels; 16 acres of rice corn,
yield % bushels, about 10 acres Of excel
lent broom corn and about rs tons of mil
let. The seed from the broom corn will
bring him nearly $1,000 He will have
500 bushels of mlllet seed which he can
sell at % cents to $1.00 per bushel. He
owns a sufficient number Of hogs, cattle
and horses to use up the feed he raises.
We believe about every farmer in this
section can do as well as Mr.. Hartnett il
they give proper attention to their work
and use good judgment-Sterling Bulle-
tin.

Ben. Butler having received the nomina-
ton of both the Democratic and Greenback
parties for the position of Governor Of
Massachusetts,, he has prepared his letters
of acceptance. To the Greenback COM
mittee he says: II can congratulate you
that hereafter you may lay aside the word
'Greenback" as the designation of your
party, unless you keep it in the remem-
brance of the fact that you took it upon
you when conferred by your enemies as
title of reproach. In behalf of the SCREEN
back" or legal tender note your labors are
done, and the mission of your party is as
completely fulfilled as is the mission of the
Republican party, which was the abolition
of slavery. The greenback is now the
money of the United States, and is the
equal of gold and silver"

Spread Of Disease Amonc ccttse.

"A recent interview with Mr.. j. H. Sanders
who is the western representative on the
treasury cattle commission, develops the
TACT that pleuro pneumonia has thus far
been confined to certain districts of the
east and south. Texas, or splenic. fever
has broken out in sections where It has
never been known to exist before. The
disease is insidious aud extremely danger

account of the fact that frost always kills

removes the danger, but in the .southern

In this locality everything has been idone

Frank James Surrendered.

Frank James, the last of the gang of Mis-
souri, outlaws, train and bank robbers, last
Thursday surrendered to Governor Critten-
den, of Missouri, and is now locked up in
the Jackson county Jail. Since Jesse James
was killed last April at st. Joseph, Mo-. an
effort has been made by his friends to in
dGce Frank to come in, surrender and stand
trial for the many offenses he is charged
with. He needed the request, and on the
LIST inst, in long letter, dated from st.
Louis, addressed to the governor, he pro-
posed to surrender, if he had assurance that
he would receive executive clemency after
wards. LIN the letter, which was we'll
worded and very sensible document, and
evidently from the pen of Maj. John N.
Edwards, of Sedalia, Frank refers to his
past career and expresses desire to settle
down in quiet life and raise UP his family
as good citizens, and suggests that he would
be more useful as hunter of outlaws than
as an outlaw himself. The governor re-
piled to the letter, sending the answer to
Franks wife at Independence, but declined
to promise tnat he would grant pardon OF
in any way interfere, but at the same time
promised him protection and fair trial.
Thus the matter rested until last Thursday,
when Frank appeared in jefferson City and
after Maj. Edwards, who accompanied the
repentent, had consulted with the Govern
or, Frank appeared in the executive offict
and in the presence of the state e1icers and
other spectators, handed his belt and reyol
yers to the governor. He remarked thai

session since 1864. After the surrender
the prisoner was taken to his hotel WHERE

The Beef Ron1nzn.

Some of the Western papers tell big sto-
ries respecting large sums of money made
in speculating in cattle in Wyoming terri
tory. Indeed, many Wyoming men have
made independent fortunes the past sum-
mer. The rise has been so rapid and trans
fers made SO easily that large transactions
were made every day, in which the buyers
did not see hoof of his purchase, and very
likely did not use more than one-half Of
the purchase money in the trade before he
had sold and made an enormous sum on
the deal. And even at the present time
millions are talked Of as lightly as nickels,
and all kinds of people are dabbling In
steers. Everywhere the excitement is as
bad as it ever was in the mining stocks In
the old palmy days of Comstock. allow
long this will continue" observes q Wyo-
ming paper, ''is a matter Of pure specula-
ton. Whether the laboring classes of the
states will eat porter-house steak when
they taste like government bond, or quit
all at once. and knock the bottom out Of
the Chicago market, no man knows to q
moral certainty. or course, all is smooth
sailing now, but we doubt the propriety Of
fooling with this thing right along for six
months, for one of these days buyers wiz
