WHAT BECAME OF THE VOTE.

The fact that, according to the official
announcement of the vote of the State, the
vote has fallen off some 10000 or 1900 from
that of the last general election does not seem
to excite any comment. The voting popula-
ton has certainly increased over that of two
years ago, and the late contest brought out the
voting strength of the State with more GER
tainty than the election two years ago, because
it was more sharply contested. 1t is calcu-
lated that at least 1000 votes were cast, yet
only 100000 are reported. Two years ago
the vote was 10000 What has become OF
the difference? A few thousand might be
accounted for in Harrison and Marion coun-
ties-thrown out to help Ireland through
but there must have been a systematic ar
rangement extending all over the State to
throw out precinct here and there TO accom-
plish the desired result. To keep up the
Democratic majority any method will be re-
sorted to. 1t is not quite certain now, from
the logic of figures, that Jones was not
fairly elected.

THEALLEGED JERSEY LILY.
Mrs. Langtry a Disappointment Both as
Beauty and Artistic.

Mrs. Langtry a Disappointment Both rs
Beauty and Artistic.
O Langtry the aesthetic dramatic critic Of
st-Dispatch says: AS to her beauty ca,
c'est autre chose. Beauty is largely matter
of taste, and so not 10 be discussed. But
those who would deny Mrs. Langtry's beauty
would pass a very harsh judgment on the
alleged beauties Of society in this city: Her
nose is long, and her jaws are heavy, and her
profile is irregular and her full face is I'M
graceful, and her mouth is unshapely, and her
arms are bad, and her feet are large, and ii
the Judgment of the critics were to be taken
in detail she would be like the picture OF
Appelles which was made to run Langtry
ordeal by having each citizen of Cos put red
baub on the faulty part of it. The result was
that the masterpiece was painted red; there
was not a citizen who did not have his own
special fault to find with it.
So it is with Mrs. Langtry's beauty, and
yet she is physical masterpiece, with most
winning presence, shapely, graceful and
womanly. She might have come to st. Louis
unheralded and unknown, and she could not
have walked down Fourth street without
drawing all eyes after her; she could not 60
into any company without being the center
of observation and of admiration, less from
her beauty than from that indehnable some
thing or those indefnable many things that
make up the perfect lady or the social queen.
To descend to details, Mrs. Langtry con-
firms the evidence of her beauty photographs,
that her beauty is not of the old Greek type,
and has nothing classical about it; it is OF the
fresh modern British type-healthy, hearty,
and much better suited to an English drawing
room than to an Atheni an background. Her
head is very graceful, well-placed on neck
that is rather too firm; her hair is chestnut,
her eyes are blue, her teeth are to con-
spicuously white, her arms are not at all pretty;
but her strong mold is her torso-a prettier
back and shoulders and waist were hard to
find {; but-that'S all there is of her; her feet
are the standard English feet.
Her acting may be dismissed in few words.
There are two kinds of acresses-those who
are actresses and those who are not; and she
belongs to the latter class.

DETECTIVE PRICES RECORD.
UnenviabIe Reputation of the Chief of the
Texas Agency.

This party, says a correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier Journal, who has come in
for good shore Of notoriety with Tennessee's
defaulting treasurer POLK, has an unsavory
record, which have secured from sources Of
absolute authority. Before the war Price was
a special officer of the police in New Orleans,
and was noted for his general crookedneSS
and cussedness. Even at this time he had
killed his man, and that in cold blood, stand
ing beside him and in conversation, putting
his right hand around his shoulder and shoot
ing him through the head. Price was in the
penitentiary when General Butler occupied
New Orleans, and was liberated by that
doughty knight of the spoones. He loafed
about New Orleans some time and finally emf
grated to Texas about 1869, becoming
engaged there as ''Spotter" on the Hous-
ton and Texas Central, but was discharged for
dirty work and drunkenness. For some time
after that he lived the life of an adventurer of
! a low order, and about two years ago attempt
| ed to establish merchant police at Calves
ton, but finding that Mike Farrell, celebrated
| bank detective of New Orleans, intended
establishing the same at Galveston, he with
drew from this enterprise and went to San
Antonio, about six months ago, and i'm
mediateIy famed out at the head of the
Texas Detective Agency. He has the repu-
tation of not only being bully, but coward.
A few years ago he gave away some impor-
tant detective work which was being done by
Captain Lee Hall, OF the Texas State police
He fatty accused him of this treachery, when
Price drew pistol on the Captain. The lat
ter took his revolver from him and pommeled
him so numerically that he was confined to
his room for several weeks. Another of his
Infamous pieces of business created quite an
excitement some ten years since in New Or.
leans, when he had returned there and was
keeping crooked livery stable. Billy For.
roster, probably the most noted bank-breaker
which ever lived, escaped from the Illinois
State penitentiary at Joliet, and being closely
followed by the Pinkertons, was arrested under
their instructions by Chief of Police Badger, o.
New Orleans. Price, imagining that Forester
had large booty to draw upon, secured the ser
vices of Judge Atocha, quite celebrated
! criminal lawyer of that day in New Orleans
and effected the release of Forester on a wri
of habeas corpus. Price never got a penny
for this, and it almost broke his heart. For
roster was duly recaptured. From all infor

INSTEAD of issuing bonds to raise money

AT SAN ANTONIO the national topic is

politics at Fort Worth, cattle.
PARENTS should inculcate in their children
at an early period the principle that it is
wrong for them to abduct themselves.

IT IS the duty of the city authorities to make
every possible effort to limit the spread Of

COLONEL DE GRESS had to make a new
bond as postmaster at Austin and succeeded
without trouble in giving it inside of couple
of hours. This shows that the Democratic
CRY of dishonest radicals is without solid
foundation.
A LONG felt want has been supplied, not by
a newspaper, but by London man who has
invented an instrument by which the mental
calibre of men may be measured. If we secure
one of the most sensitive of the instruments
we may at last be able to decide what rank
the Texas Legislators should hold when con-
sidered as statesmen.
AT THE time Governor Davis went out Of
Office there was to the credit of the State Of
Texas ninety millions Of acres public lands.
Eight years of Democratic rule has squandered
this magnificent domain and, in addition,
increased the debt of the State from three to
four million of dollars; yet the people have
not thought it best to hurl from power the
party that has thus robbed them.
SEVERAL members of the Legislature
thought something of giving Governor Davis
complimentary vote for the United States
Senate. Davis has borne the cross Of Repub-
lican defeat in Texas for ten years. 1t would
be an empty compliment, but if the hide.
pendents had not been juggled out of the
Legislature by shameless system of gerry
Wandering they would to-day cut a consid
cradle figure IN the Legislature.
SOME silly Democratic editor suggests tina
Governor Davis leave the State. If Davi
left Texas the Democratic party would die 70
want of breath. Ireland is Governor by tn,
grace Of Governor Davis. Without Davi
Ireland would not have been able to make
speech during the campaign. Davis and hi
Radical administration have been the stock il
trade Of the Democracy for ten years. Nov
if the Governor will leave Austin and keeI
his friends from running him for Office the so
called Texas Democratic party must die.
