The Beef crop of1sss.

We deem 1t no cxaggeration to SAY
that the beef crop Of Texas tho pres
ent year will be from 10 TO 80 per cent.
larger than it has ever vet been in
any one year In addition to the in.
ctense in all kinds of cattle, this in
crcase ia due tn the fact that owing to
the drouh in many sociions last yrur
a large number Of hccves failed to fnt-
ten and were held over We may
therefore. not ouly expect big in
crease in the number Of boeves this
year, but may also calculate upon
sending outa larger proportion of
older, more maturcd and, therefore,
better becvcs than this state has sent
to market for many years. This in
creased crop with tho good market
that Is awaiting 1t will cnnhlu Texas
beef to bring M amount of money into
the state daring the cuming spring
heretofore unknown to the trade.
II may be urged that the inctenso in
uumbrr viii have tendency to dcprc-
cintc the market Bat it must be re-
mcmhcrrd that while tho severe
droulh of last year caused Texas beef
to lbs kept ON the range, different
cause was producing the contrary ef-
feet in the grazing regions north.
while Texas rai.eIs were picking out

GUITEAU TO BE HUNG.

A telegram announces the result Of
the celebrated trial of the assassin, and
we are glad to learn that the jury were
only out one hour whilst making mp
their verdict. This decision vi | I'M
doubtedly end the career of this vile
creature, ne in our opinion no superior
court will reverse the case.
1t certainly would be great calnini-
ty to permit such criminal to ESCAPE
punishment np'n the plea of insanity
alone. Too many ordinary criminals
have already escaped upon this plea
who ought to have been hung. Per
haps this fact was strong temptation
in Guiteau's case. His inofdinnte love
of notoriety, his desperate financial
condition, his failures to obtain Office,
his ostracism from respectable society
all tending to produce that state of
mind which often prcccdes suicide.
But in his case he being lawyer and
having confidence IN the insanity dodge
he decided to immoftalize himself by
one Of the most atrocious crimes upon
record, hoping to escape rs others
have done.

Tho convention Of tho Texas State

Severe but Correct.


 Edward Stokes, the murderer of Jim Fisk
 is a shining example of what energy and strict devotion to business will do in the way of raising a man in the world. When Stokes was first heard of he WAS sort of factotum for Fisk and subsequently, his partner in 8 petroleum refinery, the Grand Opera House and other business enterprises of the late railroad king. But Stokes was fred with noble ambition to rise above his surround ings, and he succeeded in gaining admission to the penitentiary by killing his objectiona ble partner. His department in the dignifed secIusion of his new home was admirable, and before his release he was promoted to a position of trust and responsibility. He has lately risen to the rank of bar-keeper, not of the basement dive or back alley sort, but of ''pa1atial" affair in connection with first. class' hotel, and his business is so remunera- tive that he has made his bar the center of a perfect museum of art. Costly oil paintings bronze and marble statuary, brio a-brac. vases, antique clocks and Persian rugs make the place attractive to the most sesthetic i'm bibers of cocktails. On the recent acquisi- tion of Bouguereau's 'Nymphs and Satyrs,' at the price of $lO,0OO, it was suggested that Mir. Stokes ought to afford the ladies of New York an opportunity to inspect his collection, and he accordingly issued two thousand invi tations, which were responded to by nearly half of those invited. An orchestra played Strauss, champagne flowed at the bar, and among the hundreds of women appeared a few stock brokers, Broadway 1oungers, and, for brief and exciting interval, the great Stokes himself. He was, of course fault essly attired, and was the exposure of all the female eyes, In fact, he was lionized by his ecstatic guests, and the cheerful incident shows how it is possible in this land of 1iber- jy and equality for man to raise himself by 1is own merit from position like that in which Stokes began, as Jim Fisk's partner, ID through the penitentiary to the dizzy en- nence of bar keeper with aesthetic tastes, good clothes and a fondness for female so- ,ia%v

The Borgias and Sforzas.


 The crimes of Italy furnished the subjects for at least half the tragedies written in the reigns of Elizabeth and of James l.; the play dealing with national history or with antique subjects had not to the patriots and human ists of the end of the sixteenth century the potent attraction of the play dealing with Italian tales of lust and of blood. The Italian novels were ransacked for subjects, the Italian histories greedily consulted for de- tails; the travellers from Italy beset for new anecdotes gleaned during their wanderings. It seemed impossible to satisfy the general greed for Italian horrors. The openly mar rated, written and printed misdeeds of the previous generation of villains, of the Bor- gias Sforzas and Aragonese of the beginning of the sixteenth century, were fused with the whispered tales of the crimes of reigning Medicis, Earnest and Estensi, and spiced with the details of domestic scandal and bloodshed of the living Italian nobles of the day-the day, be it remembered, of Cencis and Accorambonis and Santa Croces, when incest and parricide could be bought off for money, and the nobles even of we'll regulated republics like Venice and Luc- ca kept their retnue of well paid ruffians. Various tales were fused together by the English playwrights, like those of Vittoria Aecoramboni, of Blanca Cappello, and of Isabella Isa,t, orsini, avowedly in Webster's ssWhite Devil" like those of Luisa Strozzi i poisoned for resisting Duke Alexanders lust, and the Duke murdered by his pretended pander Lorenzino, in more altered and dis guised fashion, in Tourneur's "Revenger's Tragedy" numberless ghastly incl dents picked up, perhaps, from old chronicles and travellers tales, like the dance of madmen, tho waxen images of mur- dered husband and children, the werewolf

The arrangements for the National En- campment of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie, to be held in Baltimore next month, are rapidly approaching completion. Already over 200 representative citizens of Baltimore have signifed their willingness to serve upon the principal committee. many of them &C., companying their acceptance with contribu- tions to aid in carrying out the programme. The City Council has already made an ap propriation for the same purpose, and at benefit given at Ford's Opera House on Wed nesday last fair amount was added to the general fund. The executive committee an- nounces that in addition to several thousand members of the Grand Army who will be present, the Fourteenth Brooklyn regiment of National Guards, Duryea's Zouaves, the Richmond Blues, Charleston Light Infantry, and many other military organizations from different p,rts of the country have signified their intention of taking part in the celebra tion. All classes of citizens unite in @ desire to extend a hearty welcome to the visitors, Mayor Whyte, John W. Garrett, ex-Governor John Lee Carroll, and many of the most prominent citizens of the State and Baltimore are active members of the finance committee, Mayor Whyte being the chairman.

Rescued from Death.

William J. Coughlin, of, Somerville, Mass, says: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lungs, followed by severe cough. lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lung as a big as half dollar. At one time report went. around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but friend told me of Dr. William Halls Balsam for the Lungs got bottle, when to my surprise com menced to fe better, and to-day feel bet ter than for three years past
 I write this hoping that every one afflicted with diseased lungs will take Dr. William Halls Balsam for the Lungs and be con- vineed that consumption can be cured. I can positively say it has done more good than all the medicines I have taken since my sick ness. je27 mtf
