From the Cleveland Herald
Not long since an incident occurred in the
city of Chicago which proves most conclusivey
the oft doubted assertions of spiritualists that
dlsenbodied spirits do materialize; in other
words do assume the forms and characteristic
features Of lite.
The body of person was found dead in an
obscure back alley in the great city above

as no one appeared to claim the remains, they
were deposited in the morsue and advertised.

but no clue as to who the man was was
obtained. The time was about expiring for
the burial. The police and the dead wagon had
arrived to remove the body to the potter's field
(Which meant to deliver it over to the medical
COLLEGE for diss"ctiOn). At this time only three
persons were admitted to the moroue-the dis
trlct physician. the driver OF the ambulance .or

VI course the attendants were paralyZed with
terror. and on coming to their senses the stran-
ger was gone. There remained only three, the
same three who at first gathered to perform the
burial service. No door had been opened: no
sound heard; no word spoken; nothing but the
mysterious impression remained haunting the
dread precinct. The parish priest, however, was
notified Of the circumstance above narrated who

money came. The body was forwarded, but the

AS OTHERS SEE US.

The praise accorded the GAZETTE by
the press in general is gratifying to
the efforts Of the proprietors. They
are so numerous space can only be al
lotted few Of them. The following
from the Alyarado Builetin is especi-
ally appreciated:
The Fort Worth GAZETTE is negoti-
ating for faster press. The increase
in the circulation demands this ut the
hands of the proprietors. We are glad
to note this Improvement, as the GA
zETTE is rapidly climbing to the top
Of the ladder in journalism. and richly
deserves the liberal patronage ii is re-
ceiving at the hands of the public.
May the GAZETTE realize all of its ex-
pectations for the year 1888.
The Dallas Times pays the following
tribute to the GAzETTE's enterprise
and energy:
The Fort Worth GAZETTE, to tell
the undraped truth, Is looming. For
both quantity and quality of contents
it compares favorabiy with the Times
two adorers, the Herald and the n.
Nei0s. The GAZETTE of YESTERDAY
morning contained u much of the
news of the day as it would hold,
heaped up, and the editorials wrestled
with the leading questions of the day.
The Hillsboro Mirror in speaking OF
the GAZETTE says:
Compare the GAZETTE of to-day with
any other paper that has ever been
published in that city, it will speak
more in its favor than anything we
could say In its behalf.
The Mirror shows its appre citation
OF the GAZETTE as an exchange by the
following:

present law makes the theft of any
thing under the value of twenty dol
lars misdemeanor, but if Mr.. Doug
lass shall succeed in planting his bill
upon the statute book, the man who
purloins dollar and quarter piney

Rusk or Huntsville.
One of the the most efficient mem
beers of the house is Mr.. w. A. Ken
dali of Denton county. Quiet and I'M
assuming, he rarely makes a speech,
but may be classed as one of the very
hardest workers in the house. His
constituents did well to return him.
Col. J. q. Chenoweth, who has been
suffering with rheumatism since his
arrival in Austin, and who has been
present in the house but one day since
the session began, was able to resume
his seat yesterday morning, where he
was gladly welcomed by his many
friends.
Ex-Chief Clerk Will Lambert has
been made clerk of judiciary com
mittee number one, of the house.
The Bar Association met again this
morning, and after much discussion
adopted seven of the fifty-three sec.
tons embraced in the proposed new
bill reported by the committee, and
adjourned until tomorrow. 1t is
thought the bill finally perfected by

Selecting Grand Jurors.

An important bill has been intro
duced in the legislature by Mr.. KLE.
BERG respecting the manner of select
ing. grand Jurors, 1t provides that be-
fore the jury has been empanneled. any
person may challenge, for cause, the
array of jurors or any person presented
as a juror, and that such challenge
may be made by any person confined
in JAIL
IL is well known that there is much
earelessness in making up grand
juries, and II is further known that
there IL no small amount of red tame
used frequently. Court officials and
prosecuting attorneys have their own
way almost entirely in selecting Jurors
and II they have no interests Mt stake
to be carefully guarded in this
makeup the sheriff or other officer
who serves the sup@na, has tho lib
erty OF exercising his own discretion
in the matter. There is another seri-
Gus objection TO the present mode OF
selecting Jurors, without proper care.
and il is the fact that there are people
who are known To the coylrts and COM
munities In which they reside. ms
professional Jurors men who do
nothing elae but occupy the jury box
at each term of court. These men are

AUSTIN NOTES.

Special to tho Gazette.
Austin, January II. The bill in
troduced by Mr.. Etheridge of Falls
county to provide books for the public
schools containing the constitution
and penal code of Texas, is, to say the
least, very novel one. The gentle
man says he expects the measure to be
assailed, but, nevertheless, he is yery
earnest in his views. He saws that If
the teachings of the fathers be true
that the pcrpetuity of our institutions
ana the very existence of the republic
depends upon the intelligence and
common understanding of the people
he can think Of nothing more fitting
70 DC Taught the rising generation
THAN thorough knowledge of
the fundamental principles of the gov
ernment. He thinks u great deal of
the trashy literature now current In
our publlc schools could be advan-
tageonsly replaced with the books
called for by his bill. Ii remains to be
seen If the house will agree with the
gentleman.
One OF the brightest members of the
house Is Mr.. w. T. Armistead of
Marion. He is a fine speaker, rapid
thinker, and, coupled with a com.
nianding presence, has Il charming
manner which finds for him friends
wherever he goes. MIR. Armjstead

son. IL was his well known and

which made him chaiImanof the COM
mittee on constitutional amendments

The resolution ofMr. Tllson of Hunt

Of bribery and is the ground assumed
fer accusations Of perjury. II fills the
courts with interminable litigation,
and engenders strife and contention,
which usually end in deeper crimes
than those which instigated them. 1t
il an open channel to all kinds OF
wrongs, to blackmail. TO scandal and
the degradation Of the dignity OF the
courts. The suspected criminal in his
cell has no power to protect himself
against the venom Of his enemy, who
can use Ii to his destruction. He is ar
rsigned on an Indictment made out by
twelve men subject to the influence of
anyone who seeks to prosecute him.
Fortunately this body Of men cannot
prescribe the penalty for crime. A re-
construction OF the law would not
have the effect to palliate the otfense
OF real criminal or defract from the
force Of the law. IL could be more
fairly and justly administered and the
rights Of all would be equally pro-
tected. The inquisitorial powers of
grand juries have very wide range
and nothing should be done
10 curtsil these powers. bu; this liberty
is only another argument in favor of
fair and impartial selection Of the inen
who are given such unlimited powers.
The bill introduced for the purpose
of remedying the evils has a good in
tent, and it or some measure which
has for its object the same purposes,
should be passed.
