Az EXAMPLE, OF TEXAN FANCY

There appeared not long ago an item of
news of the discovery in Texas, in an un-
frequented spot, of carriage, where in
side the wSather.s stained vehicle sat two
CHASTITY grinning skeletons on the rotted
and falling cushions, while on the ground
were scattered about the bones of two
horses, and the remnants of decayed
leather and the rusted irons of harness.
Here is food for the dramatist; text for a
romance. How came these to their death
How long in the deep silence of the unin-
yaded forests did these feshless remains
keep deathly watch and ward? Were
they blasted by thunderbolts, or lured to
their death by deadly vapors There is
such CHASTITY robing of the story that
the reader is strongly inclined to doubt it.
1t is told with all the details of circum-
stantiality and completeness-too much SO;
and az with most tales from Texas, our
doubts still remain. But, then, we are
told that in that region most fearful
electrical storms prevail, and the lightning
does most deadly work and indeed it may
be that single bolt killed the two beings
and struck down the horses at the same
time. So the Texas romancer has adroitly
mingled probability with his wonderfully
dramatic tale and still we doubt. But this
the generous critic will at least admit-the
journalistic genius who from his fancy
evolved this singular story deserves to be
translated to more useful sphere than he
is likely to find in the newspaper fields of

SEVEN GREAT LAsoRs.

Mr.. Blackburn, of Kentucky, has Issued
his manifesto as to the course be will pur-
sue when Congress opens. He will first
insist upon reforming the tariff by putting
just half the now dutiable articles on the
free list, and reducing the others to a
revenue basis. If Mr.. Blackburn could
only do this as easily as he talks about it
but, secondly, he will insist upon free
ships and a revision of the navigation
laws. Thirdly, he will see to it that all
unearned land grants are cancelled as
against railroads, Fourth, the blue grass
statesman proposes to abolish the internal
revenue bureau and transfer to the Gus
tom. house officers the duties of that de-
partment. Fifth, he will have the num-
Der of public officers reduced materially,
no matter what the Democratic party he
swears by says to the contrary, and will cur
tail the output of Federal money in all d.
rectiona. Sixth, he viii urge an appro-
priation of S25, 900, 900 for educational
purposes; and, seventh, he will see to it
that the Mississippi has its full improve
ment appropriation. How is the Con-
gresham, with all these resolves in view,
going to compass the Speakership His
seven labors promise to map out work
enough for many broader intellects than Mr..
Blackburn's for the next twenty years.
But, then, there is nothing that che aver
age Kentucky Congressman will not pro-
pose to do before the session in these days.

A wRsrcaED srArE OF AFFAIRS.

Or. Mackie, VINO has had broad expe.
rience In the treatment of cholera, has
made report to the British Foreign Office
IN which he remarks upon the visit of the
Commissionto the afflicted city of Danietts,
and says IL is to be deplored that the men,
bers were satisfied in simply determining
that the disease which appeared there was
cholera. It was very essential that the
Commission should have gone beyond that
inquiry, and have determined also whether
the disease was imported or spontaneous.
From his examination, he is inclined to the
latter belief, and here occurs the impor.
tans part of the report. De points out
that had the authorities taken necessary
measures to suppress the plague, the prob
ability is that they would have been sue
cessful They should have driven the peo-
pie away from the filth in which they
lived, have camped them outside Of the
city and then have applied the best msans

DANGEROUS IMPORTATION

The people Of Hartford are, with cause,
much excited over the expected i'm
portation into New Haven of rags
from Egypt. They desire the Treas
ury Department to prohibit, until
after fumigation, their introduction. But
the paper manufacturers represent that
they cannot be fumigated in bales, and
that if removed at once to the factory and
cast into watts with chloride of lime they
can be disinfected simultaneously with
their unbaling. Surgeon.General Hamilton
says that if this is done there will be little
danger from the importation. eff it is
done" is qualification well made. But
who will guarantee that it will be done,
and done effectively? What guarantee is
there that IN the transportation from ship
to factory the germs of the pest shall not
be set free? If the people of Hartford and
New Haven are alive to the full measure of
their responsibility and duty, that cargo of
rags will not be landed as contemplated.
1t should be destroyed and the owners
compensated.

called such, AID the hospita, and medical
service vas not worthy the name. The
doctor declares that The sanitary arrange
ments we're as bad as IN 1865, when they
could not well be worse. The concluding
lines of the report are Of Importance TO be
remembered, in view of the strong prooa-
bility that the cholera will visit this conn
try, and emphasizes the necessity for sani-
tary regulation of houses. He says l
have not found one man in Egypt who I'M
derstands thoroughly the sanitary con.
struction Of house, and the most ignorant
have met are the President and officials
of the Board of Health and Hygiene.
Many of the diseases ard illnesses con.
tracted in Egypt and attributed to the eli
mate are solely attributable to bad drain
age: I believe that sanitary Gordon was
the worst means that could have been
adopted mean to say as they imposed it,
The Gordon gave feeling Of safety to out
siders, and the inhabitants were left to die
within it, neglected, to propagate cholera,
while the authorities had day OR two to
reflect and TO make preparations for the
next step. Had they evacuated at onos
the infected part of the town and plsced a
Gordon to prevent the return of the inhab-
itants, as well as all communication with
the villages, the epidemic might, 1 think,
have been stamped out"

OREGON AS A PRODUCER.

The Oregoaian, published at Portland,
declares that, excepting wheat, Oregon has
not of food products enough of anything
for home consumption of its own produc-
ton. Oregon has soil of great fer
tility, that should be rich in all
the resources of agriculture. If
she fails 60 produce much needed
for home consumption, there must be
something wrong with the methods en-
ployed by her people. As to eli
mate and productive quality of the
soil, she has not much of which to
complain. Why is it, then, that
in all except wheat and -four, food supplies
are dearer in Portland than in New York !?
We had supposed that in meats, and fruits,
dairy products, garden yield, etc, she was
not so greatly dependent on this State as
the OregoRion confesses, for it says all, or
nearly all, the products named are brought
into Oregon and Washington continually
and in large quantities from California.
Yet the classes who might produce them
are, it adds. among those who talk about
hard times and express dissatisfaction with
the country. The causes are not remote !;
they reside in the fact that the people have
not engaged in diversity of agricult-
ure because they have been wheat
mad, and because the methods of farming
are faulty, not to say slovenly. Our COZ
temporary goes so far as to declare them
improvident, slothful and lacking in intelli-
gence. Oregon is grass country its
ranges are not very greatly narrowed as
yet, and it should have plentiful meat sup.
plies and dairy products it is as well
adapted to fruit as any of the States OF the
north Mississippi Valley, or of the north
Atlantic sesboard, and for garden products
it Is the superior of the States east of the
Rocky Mountains. In a country pro-
fessedly agricultural, where the supply of
such products is not equal to the demand,
there is something radically wrong. While
the Oregonians are finding out exactly
what this is, while they are diversifying
their agricultural pursuits and correcting
their methods, it will be well for incoming
immigrants to note the facts and reflect
that California is supplying Oregon as
stated, and in that fact there is suggestion
of reason for locating here where the eli
mate is superior, the advantages broader,
the market certain, and earth products for
home consumption more nearly equal TO
the demand.

Arrival OF Prince George,

DR.. STEPHEN H. Tying, SRA few days
since reporter called upon Rev. DR.. Ste
phen H Tying, Sr., at his home in Irving
ton, on the Hudson. He was found seated
on rustic under shade tree on grassy
lawn. At his feet, kneeling upon the
grass, was his little granddaughter, holding
one of his hands in here, while she prattled
with him in her childish way. Although
sadly impressed with the bent form, and
wasted, pinched face of the divine, much
more sad was the impression made on the
visitor By the reply of DIR. Tying, indicat.
ing, as it did, his mental state. Raising
his trembling, emaciated right arm, he
pointed toward the western heavens, and in
an unsteady and piping voice exclaimed ::
"Over there See I Just across the river
in the beautiful clouds. They are calling
me, but l can't come just yet. l must
wait until my work is finished here. will
then go and render my account" Unre-
strained he talked in this vein for awhile,
but he soon became oblivious to the pres
ence of his visitor, and when he had con-
tinued his rambling remarks fer some time
his little attendant gently led him, as a
little child just learning his steps, toward
the house. DR.. Tyng's hallucinstion is
that he is still the rector of ST. Georges
Church, still in possession of his former
physical powers and uadimmed mental
powers. and that he is still preaching regu-
lar Sunday sermons in that church, and
dnring the week engaged in the good work
Of visiting, praying with and supplying the
wants Of the poor and needy among his
pensioners. Courier, Journal.

advances. The chief are the construction
of new and very powerful ram the sue.
