Sam Houston's Secret.

An intimate friend and spiritual adj
wiser of Gen. Houston writes to the
New York Post as follows: Mean
while as to his domestic relations,
while false rumors as to man that had
been model character were reported
by lovers of scandal, his abandoned
wife obtained divorce, he favoring it
in Tennessee on his election as Gov
ernor of Texas, he obtained a divorce
and married lady of eminent culture
"a an authoress and rare Christian de-
yotion he himself in Washington pro-
fessed his personal faith, was baptized
in Texas, and became a consistent mem-
Der OF the Christian Church and no
one knew him but to admire his stern
integrity, both in private and public
life. The secret OF his first marriage
was never known except to his second
wife, who, in justice to his character. re-
yealed it after his death. just when
the welded pledge OF undivided love
was made by his first bride, Houston's
keen sensibility detected something in
the tone and manner OF the pligllted
troth that showed him some former at
tachment had existed. When appealed
to with firm but manly bearing, the
bride confessed prior attachment and
promise of marriage to young man
more here equal in age. Houston took
all the blame as his own" and bore
it to his death. Thousands of persons
met Houston throughout long life
and never knew thatin youth he was
struck in the arm by poisoned Indian
arrow in a battle, that nearly cost him
his life; and that fostering, running
sore was giving him physical pain til
the day of his death, for the writer new

A New Nautilus.
(Times-D Democrat.)

The eminent English political econo-
mist, statistician and philosopher, Mr..
GiffeD, predicts a terrible future for this
country that will result from the too
rapid growth of population. Ii the
people of the United States continue to
increase at the present rate of progress,
the time is close at hand when it will
suffer from ver-populatiOn as severely
as China and India, and when starya-
tiOn and famine will be as common here
as in these Eastern countries where the
{ lght for food is long and bitter. All
the world is in danger of this trouble,
Mr.. Giffen thinks, and several countries,
ireland and Germany notably, contain
more people than they can comfortably
support but none of these are in great
er danger than this, notwithstanding
our immense territory as yet unsettled
and uncultivated. England is able to
support large population to the square
mile, but it does SO by importing its
food from America. The United States,
Mr.. Giffen f1ds, cannot support much
over 100 persons to the square mile,
which, such is the unprecedented
groEth OF this country, we shall exceed
within 70 years.
Mr.. Giffen makes no suggestions and
offers no advice; he simply calls atten-
zion to the irrefutable facts and figures;
shows that the improvement in sanitary
science has decreased the death rate,
and that the population of this country
is increasing so rapidly as to threaten
to become burdensOme, and that by 1867
we will be crowded for room, will be
sending emigrants away from our
shores simply from a lack of subsistence
for all. 81

opELousAs, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY q, 1888

The Alexandria Democrat, the Ope-
1ousas Courier, and the Lake Charles
Echo, think their towns need banks.
If the need was very urgent we suppose
it would be satisfied; but bank with
ont money is not of much consequence,
and il our confreres will start out to
collect their bills, even their privileged
claims, they will find money very scarce.
That banks sometimes "bust," causes
some men who have money not to risk
it in bank. The main thing we want
here, is the production of more corn,
meat. etc., and less cotton.
The Lake Charles Echo gives as an
excuse for asserting that Mr.. Pariange
.sis still running for Congress in the
sixth district against Gen. Lewis :" "be-
cause his announcement was in some Of
the papers in his district-thc ST Lam

age-he would have been seventy years

he was in the habit of spending his winters III

career was one of the most remarkable Ill .no

death leaves gigantic projects without
head for the agitation in favor OF what is
nonularly called "the music of the future
centred in him, and derived all lts impulses
directly from him. His death will dumbfound
his followers and set the world OF musicians

With Wagner's death will undoubtedly
end, tor long time at least, musical pro-
auctions in the complete style OF the
master. None of the present composers OF
Germany, not even the most ardent dev0tees
of his music, have shown the ability TO
follow closely in his footsteps.
