WACO, Jan. 24.-This morning l.. b.
Hairston, young man of good repu-
tation, was arrested on a charge of
forgery and placed under $500 bond.
1t appears Hairston and several
friends took supper at restaurant a
few nights ago, and having no money,
deposited a check for $3.50 on the Waco
National bank, purporting to be sign
ed by w. b. Trice, president of that in
stitution. The check was presented
for payment to-day, in presence of
Trice, who at first said it was genu-
inc, but on closer scrutiny discovered
it was a forgery. Hairston says the
check was fixed up in spirit of fun,
to impress the variety girls with his
immense wealth, and that he foolish
ly deposited it for collateral without
thinking of the consequences. The
trial will take place next week.

Ell PAso, TEXAS, Jan. 23.-The
large grocery and dry goods store of
b. Schuster Il Co., in Chihuahua, who
have similar business here, was
robbed Monday night by one of their
clerks, named Appel, of 5000 in Mex
lean money and a lot of firearms.
Mr.. II. j. Miller was robbed on the
streets in Chihuahua at nine o'clock of
three gold watches and chain, worth
$500, and 1915 in money.
A mulatto was married in the same
city last night to a Mexican woman.
Her countrymen became indignant,
and ordered him to leave the place,
when he drew knife and killed one
of the men.
Eight robberies were reported there
last night up to ten o'clock. A car
nival of crime has visited that city.
An election was held in Ell Paso to-
day. The question of levying tax
of one-half of one per cent for public
schools, although only about half of
the vote of the city was polled, 1873
were in favor of the tax, and only
four against. This insures public
schools beyond doubt during the
present year.

The Worlds Railroads.

OF the 249,590 miles of railroads at
the close of 1881, North and South
America are credited with 1872, 186
miles; Europe, 108,O02; Asia, 1864;
Australia and adjacent islands, 5481 ;
Africa, 3147. The United States led
all other countries many fold, it hav-
ing at that time 104, 1871 miles of COM
pleted road. The second country in
extent of railroad is Germany, which
had q, 446; Great Britain comes next,
with 1921; Russia has 14,779 miles.
The United States at the close of 1881
had within 1000 miles as much rail-
road as all of Europe. The total foot
ing for the year will be not less than
1900 miles. In less than three years
there will be as many or more miles
of railroad in the United States as in
all the rest of the world besides.

A Nashville correspondent of the
Memphis Avalanche writes: There
is a varied opinion as to whether Polk
will be punished for his misdeeds.
For myself L do not believe he ever
will, and that year from to-day he
will be a free man, with no shadow of
a charge against him. His friends
and relatives will clear up the balance
and Polk will go UNPUBLISHED. +
The committee in the Polk case
have probably struck the bottom, but
after the popular Indignation is some

will say send one-legged man to the
penitentiary, who bears the honored
name of Polk, especially when he has

La Vendee is department in the
west of France formed from the old
province of Potion and bordering on
the bay of Biscay. The woody tract
in the centre of the department is
known as lie Bocage, the marshy dis
trict along the coast is, called
lie Marais, and the rest of the country
la Plaine. After the proclamation of
the first republic the royalist insur-
rection broke out in La Vendee and
afterward spread over Lower Potion,
Anjou, Lower Maine and Brittany.
The movement was semi-religious in
its character and originated with the
peasantry, who in 1893, under the lead
OF WAGNER, the brave Cathe-
lnlan, overpowered small body of
republican troops, or the Blues as
they were called, and were thus ell
couraged to undertake greater enter
prises. Among the distinguished and
heroic leaders of the Instruction
were Castor, wig maker, Stohlet, a
game keeper, Charette, a naval officer,
and especially La Rochejaquelein, but
they were signally defeated in 1893,
and hundreds of them massacred.
The ordinary forms of execution
proving too slow, Carrier, a monster
IN human form, caused the Vendean
prisoners at Nantes to be drowned
in masses. In the following spring,
however, the war broke out
again under the leadership of La
Rochejaquelein, Stoffiet and Charette,
and the ChOuans with whom the
Vendens were afterwards united, ap-
peared in arms at the same time on
the north of the Loire, in the depart
ments of Morbinhan and Cotes-du-
Nord. In 1895 the convention made
peace with them, guaranteeing entire
freedom of religious wor-
ship, exemption from military service
and indemnification for their losses.
In the following June, however, they
again took up arms, being melted so
to do by the landing at Quiberon
of the body of French emigres. Gen.
Hoche, the greatest and the ablest
general of France, second not even to
was sent against them, and
succeeded after Stoffiet and Charette
had been taken and shot, in 1896, in
reducing the country to submission,
but the cruel butcheries OF 1893 A
were not repeated. During the
Hundred Days" in 1893 and 1900, in
movements also took
place in La Vendee, but they assumed
no very TO. midable proportions.

DALLAS, Jan. PA telegram from
Nashville, Tennessee, announces the
arrest of o. IL. Gregg, the absconding
United States mail route agent who
robbed the registered packages on the
Texas and Pacific railroad. between
Dallas and Ell Paso, last summer, Sc
curing nearly $4,000 in money. He
absconded last July, and for a time
all efforts to capture him were dill
gently employed, but false report of
his suicide caused temporary aban-
donment of the search. 1t soon de-
veloped that Gregg caused the notices
that he had suicided-at Kansas City
by drowning in the Missouri river;
the news was sent out from Kansas
City by himself to western, eastern
and Texas papers, among them those
ut Dallas. He had formerly been a
newspaper reporter, and knew how it.
The officers are expected in Dallas
with Gregg tonight or tomorrow.
He is about fifty years of age, and has
grown-up children in the vicinity of
Dallas.

other gentlemen. 1t is understood
that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe desire to get an extension into
Texas, probably from the neighbor-
hood Of Kansas, and il is thought this
visit has some connection with that
object. 1t is also thought the party
want to take a trip to Austin and get
acquainted with the Texas legisla-
ture.

The inquiry of Princess Louise as
to whether she could safely venture
to go to Charleston, South Carolina,
without military escort, and Gen.
Sherman's prompt reply that she could
go there as safely as into any state in
the union, indicate at once the falsity
and the effect of the current eastern
reports OF the state of society in the
southern quarter of the union. If
persons of the intelligence of the gov
ernor of Canada have been miSled on
this subject is it strange that the mass
of immigrants, who get their informa-
ton from the same sources as
Lord Lorne got his from should be
turned away from section of the
Uni IN where the safety of travelling
lady of rank is matter of doubt and
special inquiry? The journals which
so often aSSeVerate that they are Just
and truthful on this subject, and con-
vey no false impressions, are contra
dicted by the simple facts in this case.
The Princess Louise and her travelling
companions show the impressions un-
der which they labored by the in
quiry they made, and the general
of the United States army, in a
position to be thoroughly informed,
assures her that the impression is
false and groundless. How and by
what means was the falsehood spread
abroad? The lesson to be learned
from this incident is that southern
states which desire any portion of the
immigration to America which reaches
this continent through northern ports
must seek it by first removing the inn
pressions made by falsehood, COM
in the year by an unfriendly sectional
press.

The Washington correspondent of
the Army and Navy Journal writes
that the chances for favorable action
of the house at this session on the
Fitz-Jo ohm Porter relief bill are ex-
ceedingly doubtful, though the opinion
prevails that the bill could be passed
If consent were obtained to take it up
from the speakers table for considera-
ton. A dispatch to the same journal
indicates that the president would
veto the bill should it pass the house.
The bill authorizes the president to
nominate to the senate and on confirm
alton to appoint Fitz-John Porter
to the rank of colonel in
the army held by him at
the time of his dismissal, with discre-
ton to place him on the retired list,
which shall be increased in number to
that extent. There is a proviso that
Gen. Porter shall receive no pay, COM
pensation or allowance whatsoever
prior to his appointment under this
act. In other words, it is proposed
only to authorize the president to ap-
point Gen. Porter as colonel to be
placed on the retired list, the execu-
tive having already removed the dis
qualification for holding office placed
upon him at the time of dismissal
from the service.
