THE three leading newspapers in Texas are
notrun upon ability in the editorial depart
ment, but upon their enterprise in collecting
news. The Galveston News, the Houston
Post and the Fort Worth Gazette display less
editorial ability than do three dozen county
newspapers in Texas, and what makes it
worse, they conceive their respective editors
are superior to any men in the world, and

basis. Previous to the reported death OF the
child he had not appeared to be thrifty, but
shortly after that event he seemed to nave
much money, and went to Missouri and III
vested largely in land. The inference sought
to be conveyed by this is that the Goelet
brothers had corrupted McElwee by means
of money to carry on the deceit. This part
of the story is apparently very thin.
Mr.. Wolf is given as authority for saying
that Eugene McElwee, who lives in Foun-
tain county, and who is the Oldest son OF the
McElwee who figures in this narrative, has a
copy of the birth and death record OF his
fathers family Bible taken when he, Eu-
gene, was married, and that in one place the
birth of Mrs. Meyers, as McElwee is set
down with the date September 6, 1871.
Under it is written the same date but with
the name Goelet instead of McElwee. In
this same Bible is recorded the marriage OF
Peter Goelet and Martha j. Buchanan as nav
ing taken place July 4, 1874. Mr.. Wol1 claims
to have found in New York letters written
in the wears here mentioned, from Craw-
fordsville, Waveland, Jackville and other
places in Indiana, to his clerks in New York,
giving them directions about his business
there. He says the only thing to prove now
is the marriage of Peter Goelet and Martina
J. Buchanan. The fact that they lived to-
getler and had a daughter and that daugh-
ter is Mrs. Meyers, now thirty-six years old,
is pretty we'll substantiated. An old lady
in Fountain county, near the Parke county
line. remembers the alleged Mrs. Goelet.
Why she wore a silk dress nearly all the
time," said the old lady, a rare occurrence in
those days, 'and diamonds, and was awful
pretty"
Mrs. Meyers is a bright, good-looking wo-
man. Although she has never had more
than a country school education, and hardly
that, she is intelligent beyond her opportu-
mites and surroundings. c. D.

MONSEIGNEUR CAPEL.
His Plans for Travel and Investigation In
This Country-Sketch of His Life.

New York, July Acknowledgements Capel,
after resting at his hotel, called upon Car
dinal McCloskey and Archbishop Corrigan,
and had a brief interview with each. He
left the city at 4 for Burlington, N. j., where
he will make a brief visit to some friends.
He proposes to give a course Of lectures in
the principal cities. Among other thing he
will lecture on art, painting, travel educa-
ton and Catholicism and kindred subjects.
One of the principal objects of his visit is to
study American institutions and observe the
effect of their influence Upon the growth
and development of the Roman Catholic
religion. He will travel much in the West,
going probably to San Francisco, and dur
ing his journeying he intends to make a
careful study of the American educational
system, OF which he says he has a high opin-
ion. He will preach frequently.
The Right Reverend Thomas John Capel,
D.. D., having completed his education by six
years private tuition under Rev. J. NJ.

was ordained priest by Cardinal Wiseman.

he was obliged TO go to a southern climate to
recruit his strength. When there, at Pau. he
established the English Catholic mission and
was formally appointed its chaplain. Subse-
quently, his health having improved, he re-
turned to London, where his sermons aud
doctrinal lectures in various churches, and
more especially in the Pro-Cathedral at
Kensington, soon raised him to the fore
most rank among English preachers.
During several visits to Rome he also deliv-
cred courses of English sermons in that city
by the express command of the Sovereign
PoDtiff. Monseigneur Capel, while laboring
at Pau in the work of Conversions" was
named private chamberlain to Pope Plus TX
in 1868, and after his return to England do
nestle prelate in 1873. With returning
health Monseigneur Capel once more took to
his work of Observation-Disclosures in
February, 1878, established the Catholic pub
lie school at Kensington. He was appointed
rector of the college of higher studies at Ken
sington-the nucleus of the Catholic English
University-in 1874, by the unanimous voice
OF the Roman Catholic Bishops. 1t is said
that the right-reverend gentleman intended
to avoid publishing until he was forty years
OF age, but the attack made on the civil allie
glance of Catholics led him, as a born Catho-
lie, to write "A Reply to the Ri. Hon. w. E.
Gladstone's Political Expostulation," 1874.
A passage in thisw work gave rise to an ANNA
ted controversy between M~onseigneur Capel
and Canon Liddon in the columns of the
Times, respecting the alleged dissemination
of several distinctive Roman Catholic doc
trines by the Ritualistic clergy of the Angel
lean Church..

How Grant Was Sent to West Point.

to borrow some butter, runs the story, and,
as a result, we have the hero of to-day. 1t was
noon, and the neighbours family were at din
ner. 'Lysses sat down while the neighbours
daughter went to get the butter. AS he sat
there he heard the head OF the house read a
letter from his eldest son, vino had gone TO
West Point under the appointment of the
congressman from that district. The boy
wrote his father that he had failed to pass
the examination, and he wanted him to hear
the news first from himself. 'Lysses
knew how to keep watch over his lips
then better than he does now. He then
asked Mrs. Neighbor for the butter, took it
home and went at once to the office of the
congressman. To him he said: will you
give ne your next appointment to West
Point?' "Well see about that when it
comes, y said the congressman, in an encour-
aging way. will you give me the chance
if Jack Neighbor fails?" persisted young
Grant. You never would pass ii Jack

renewal of the proposition to change the
location of he State University to some
more accessible point. Such a change ought
to be made, if possible, as it is certain the
university never will prove a success while it

try to build up a great educational institu-
ton in such a place. has been fully demon
strated in the experience of the past, and the
folly of throwing any more money into that
sink hole ought to be apparent to the trustees

where it will have some chance to. grow.

A * LEADER
Hiding in a Swamp for Fourteen Years, and
Dying Miserably at Last.

NEWMAN, Ga, July 30.-The death of John
Gillian, the central figure of the ku-klux
era in South Carolina, recalls the doings Of
that secret body of night riders. In 1869.
Gillian, who was a man of good family and
some property, took a prominent part in the
clan of which he was a member. One night
two negroes were murdered in a most brutal
manner by a band of ku-klux, and the evil
dence of Gilham's completely was so strong
that a warrant was issued for his arrest, to
avoid which he fled from home, and found
refuge with Mr.. 7. G.. Gay, who lives in this
county. Here he has lived for fourteen
years, avoiding human beings, two large pis-
tolls buckled around him, and living in con-
slant dread of arrest. Mr.. Gay lives Just be-
tween the swamps of Keg and Line creeks.
and in these swamps Gillian passed the
greater part of his time. He was a terror TO
all the negroes who knew him, who related
fearful stories they had in some way learned
of his past life. Though he had lived more
than fourteen years in the county, not more
than fifty white people knew of his exist
ence. For a long time Gillian has been sub
Ject to cramps. One day last week he was
in the swamp alone when one of these
cramps attacked him, rendering him utterly
helpless. A negro man passing by in Il little
while was requested by the sick man to in.
form MI. Gays family OF his condition. but
this he refused to do, thus inflicting retribu-
ton for the crime perpetrated upon two of
his race fourteen years before. For four
hours he lay in the swamp, suffering untold
pain, when he WAS rescued by a SEEMING
party, but too late TO save him, for he soon
died

A Heavy Loss to Science.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The destruction by fire OF the main build
ing of the Indiana State University has been
a heavy loss to science. The university NUM-
bered among its faculty Professors Jordan
and Gilbert, both young men, vino within
eight years have discovered typical examples
OF 800 species of fish new to science. This
valuable collection was burned, as well as
many collections in alcohol sent there from
other colleges for examination and classitica-
ton. Professor jordan, it will be remem-
bered, paid a visit to this coast last year and
secured a large number OF new species that
had never been figured and described. AL
though established in a small Indiana city
and little known to fame, this university,
through the energy OF its young professors,
has been doing work of which many older
and more famous colleges might we'll be
proud. In fact, it is one of the few institu-
lions in this country in which original re-
search is conducted on the German plan,

All Democratic calculations for 1884 are

Carolina is unsettled on the liquor question,
and is decidedly adverse, as expressed in her
last State convention, to the free-trade no.
tons certain parties are trying to force upon
the Democratic party. The result in that
State is, to say the least, uncertain. Florida
may also be classed as a doubtful State. The
vote has been close for some years, and the
fact must be aiken into consideration that
the population of that State israpidly chang
ing. Northern emigration is flowing in, and
the greater portion of it comes from the ex-
treme North, where Republication predom-
mates. Alabama and Tennessee have also
spoken through their most widely circulated
and influential papers in very positive terms
in regard to the tariff issue. Those States
are rapidly developing their mines, and man
ufacturiug is becoming a large interest.
They therefore demand a judicious tariff
that will afford them an opportunity to de-
velop their new industries.

THE GROWN PRINCE IN WAR.
How the Son of Emperor William Led the
Prussians Against France.
George Won Bunseu, in Harpsr's,

George Won Bunsen, in Harper's,
French diplomacy had reckoned upon ALI
ance with Italy, with Austria, with Russia
perhaps, but more than all upon the neutral
ity Of two German Observation-Disclosures and
Wurtemburg. None OF these hopes were full
filled. The German people stood together
with an enthusiasm almost unprecedented.
One supreme command only, that of the
Prussian king, directed the eager masses of
combatants, and his son was selected to lead
the corps from South Germany, togethe with
a due proportion OF Prussians. From the
first he was their favorite. With that atfec-
tionate disposition which distinguishes the
South Germans they called him ''our Fritz
''our Crown Prince" and entered into con-
versation with him whenever an occasion Of
fered.
One soft summers evening, after the battles
of Weisenburg and Worth had been fought,
and the Army of the South was climbing up
the Nosges mountains, or descending from
them, the Crown Prince was sauntering leis-
urely about, a short pipe between his fingers
and all alone, in the village where a halt had
been ordered. Passing a closed barn, he
fancied he heard something like
stump cratory inside, and quickly opened
the door As a matter of course all present
rose, Bavarians and others. "Oh. no" said
Frederic William, sit down; there will be

geant, whose very intelligent countenance,
however, looked sorely puzzled when the
commander-in-chief further asked: And.
what were you talking about?' Quickly re-
covering presence OF mind, the sergeant con-
fessed: "Well, of course, we were talking
about our victories, and l was just explain
ing to these young men how, four years ago,
if we had had had you to lead us, we should
have made short work of those conf-Prus-
slams" the Prince roared with laughter,
and continued chatting with the party till
far in the night.

The Observance of Sunday.
Lafayette Journal.

The influence of Sunday observance upon
public morals cannot be overestimated. If
the ~sanctity of the day were destroyed, no
community would long escape utter de-
moralization. Its observance is the safeguard
of morality, and mortality is the bulwark of
good government. The Sunday traffic, es-
pecially the saloon business, is debasing and
morality. This city cannot afford to be dis
graced by the open violation of law and the
Dissertation of Sunday, which we see on every
hand. The law must be enforced and will
be. Those charged with the execution of
the law must fulfill their sworn obligations.
