THAT sCANDALOUs CIRCULAR.

On Tuesday there was something of A
commotion among our merchants and par.

the latter there were expressions ofdeep and
bitter Indignation over the cause of the
Hurry which was induced by a circular
printed in the German language and pur.

Of KAUFMAN & RusGE, Galveston, to tn, ir
German correspondents in Europe. This
circular charged some very ugly things
against Dallas and other Texas interior
cotton merchants, such as that they are
lot of adventures and cheats, men who
are unreliable, who have failed in mercantile
enterprises and started business at other
points under questionable circumstances
etc., etc. Knowing as we do the large
house, the immense business and the high
character of the firm who conduct it, we
we're 10th to give any credence to the rumor

THE recent action of the Presbyterian
General assembly at Saratoga to disapprove
OF prohibition by states and communi ties, is
the latest thorn in the side of the prohi-
bitionists and the severest blow ever given
the movement. The Presbyterians very
sensibly say that they are in favor of TEN.
perance but regard prohibitory enactments
as impracticable and very poor policy. A
church with such broad and practical, yet
perfectly consistent views, must commend
itself to the world in this day of so much
religious fanaticism.

ments, SO that the wheel will be in the
water when it rises in the spring. The
water sets the wheels in motion. Within
the wheels are two large network scoops
which revolve with the wheels. When the
salmon come up stream they are "scooped
in" by these whirring wheels and are
thrown over intoa chute, down which thew
slide into the water-boxes and find them

costs very little and is very destructive, be,
cause the fish are killed, and those that are
too small to can are thrown away. A wheel
will cast upon the shore from 5000 to 4 coo
pounds of fish in twenty four hours. There

catching salmon, but there Is loud public
sentiment in favor of one. During the pf st
fifteen years $25,0O000O worth of salmon
