The First Dallas County Bale.

A. Dysterbach brought in yesterday the
first bale OF cotton raised in Dallas county,
which was raised on his farm, three and
one-half miles south of the city, by Henry
Thomas. 1t was ginned at Lagos gin. The
bale, which was dumped at the MERCHANTS
exchange, though not yet weighed, will
tin the scale at something over 400 pounds
II will be sold sometime to-day. IT any
premium has been offered for the first bale
raised in the county, we have not learned

giving premium will be observed.

The weather has moderated considerably
within the past day or so, and those who
only few days since longed to join an ex-

changed their minds in that respect. The
mercury is content now to perch at W
degrees in the shade, and If it was lot Tor
the flies and mosquitoes man might enjoy
a little peace of mind.

J. H. Devereux, president of the Bee Line
and party, consisting of James Tillinghast
assistant to President Vanderbilt; John R.
Duff, of Boston; and Hon. r. ?. Ranney. OF
Cleveland, arrived in the city last night.
These gentlemen are in consultation for
the purpose of perfecting the connection of
the Vanderbilt lines with st. Louis and the
west. General Devereux was seen by the
reporter. He said we are only consulting
about matters concerning the interests OF
the Bee Line and other roads connected
with our system. We want the Indianapo-
lis & st. Louis to do its duty. In our con,
nection with this city there is no special
step of Importance that can give you now
that we contemplate taking. We are occu-
pied with matters ofgeneral interest, though
we are having some projects placed before
us by some of your railroad men. The par
ty left for Kansas City tonight, and it is
generally believed in railroad circles that
the object of the visit is to examine into the
feasibility of building a new road to Kansas
City and give the Vanderbilt system a
chance to compete tor western business.

An Abundance OF For erataers.

Persons suddenly enriched by some
unexpected freak of fortune are apt to
suffer from lack of ancestry, and to mur-
muir at Destiny for having omitted to en-
dow them with length of descent as well
rs with abundance of wealth. An italian
statistician has made discovery that
can scarcely fail to prove consolatory to
parvenus who have hitherto deemed
themselves afflicted with the above-men-
toned dearth of forefathers. According
to this painstaking calculator, every hu-
man being at present upon the face of
globe has the undoubted right to claim
descent from no fewer than one hundred
and thirty-nine thousand two hundred
and forty five billions of ancestors, only
as far back as the commencement of the
Christian era.
Besides the above number-should he
make point of being exact in family
matters-some odd ancestors are still
due to him from the epoch in question,
II 600, ,000, 900 or so. But few men, we
think, however greedy with respect to
eopious ancestry, ,sre likely to be over
particular about such a trifing item as
the last one referred to, while cheered
by the proud conviction that, barely
1900 years ago, it took nearly d
hundred and forty thousand billions OF
progenitors to render their existence pos.
sible at the present day. The italian
states his proposition very reasonably.
Everybody must, at one time or another,
have had father and a mother; those
parents cannot have been exceptions tc
this absolute rule, and ancestors must
therefore, be multiplied backward By
two according to the law of pro
gression, which process, reck
oning three generations te
the century, will, at its fifty-seventI
power, yield 139, ,245, CIT ,489 .534 ,976 an
cestors for each man of our day, no mat
ter how seemingly humble his birth
Let there be no more complaints of in
sufficiency in the matter of forefathers
The number indicated, if correct, Ger
tainly point to superfuity rather than t.
privation of that article, as we'll as to /
somewhat remarkable surplus popula
ton of this globe in the year of our Lore

Are You mad?" asked Mr.. Orricle.
No, dear; only resolved not to be
any longer slighted in my own house.
will show you o telephone, by which +
have heard every word You and those
woman have been saying for the last six
months"
The Rev. Peter Orricle felt bad.
When he saw tho telephone and dis
cerned how by her cool ingenuity his
wife had entrapped him and held him at
her mercy he looked very sorry per-
son. He turned red. then pale, and if
anybody had offered him little weak
brandy and water at that minute he
would have imbiDed it. I He tuned
his nose for protest, but Ignatia stopped
him:
ssYou need not try to excuse yourself,
Peter. I have heard everything, mind;
so prevarication would be of no use. I
can only hope that you will be a more
sensible man and better husband in the
future, and in that trust forgive you.
But now listen to me. Mr.. Doucer can
get you the head mastership of the gram
mar school,; no is the most influential
among the governors. Go to Mrs.
Doncer at once, and tell her yon want
the place. If she does not ges it for
you, let her beware of me. Don't for
get to tell her of the telephone
Good gracious, Ignatia, you would
not surely"
do as tell, you, DEAR said Mrs.
Orricle calmly. IF Mrs. Doucer does
not obey you she will know what to ex-
pect. AS to other women, will use the
power possess over them in my own
way, at my own time, and for your in
terests ard mine. have not the slight
est objection that all the world should
know about the telephone. The laughers
will be on my side"

She was sitting at the window
As he passed,

They were silk, and eolored red.
Don't you tell.
