journalism.

The highest form Of journalism is
that which enriches the mind with
useful instruction, add cultivates, ed,
ucates and elevates the men Of the
country. This prepares the people Of
this great growing nation for the in.
tellectual discharge Of their highest
duties as citizens, as free men, ia the
progressive advancement and elevation
Of man. But when we find the news
papers Of the country filed With pue
rifle, sickening stories aud mere sensa
ii0nal items OF news yiliating 10 tho
public Taste and morals, it is truly dis
hearteniDg, and gives rise to molan>
chOly reflections Il has been said
that the citizens Of the United States
are not at this day with all their su-
peror advantages OF education. as
thoroughly yersad 10 the principles of
their government, and as well qualified
10 perform their duties as oihzens as
they we're 80 years ago. This is owing
to the superficial and mere sensation
al character Of our Journalism 10
say sharp or sweet things, and to pub
lish accounts OF murders, robberies.
rapes, arsons and burglaries, divorces,
street rows, daily accidents, and ali
kinds Of shocking events, appears to
DO tne end, and aim Of most of our
leading journals. This vitiates the
taste, and does not educate, elevate
aud instruct the public mind.

II Bears The Closest scrutiny.

In the many items OF news pub.
lished, or reprinted, in the advertis.
ing columns Of the newspapers of the
day, II is satisfying to the reader to be
fully assured that all the names given
as winners of capital prizes, at various
times Of different amounts, in the
Louisiana State Lottery are correct
and truly stated, in addition to the
many who avoid publicity for yarions
reasons. All names and amounts are
genuine aud will bear the close scru>
tiny Of investigation. If any one
doubts this fact let him seek inlorma
ton Of NJ. A. Dauphin, New Orleans,
La, and he can be fully satisfied Of It's
exact truth.

from Ferris detailed the attempt by DUR

the noise of the explosion to remain. Al
though considerably astonished at the as
meet presented when he entered his combl-
nation store and post-otfice next morning,
Mr.. Doty promptly telegraphed Detective
lack Duncan, of this city, to come down at
once as there was work for him." Arrived
at the scene the detective found little from
which to spin a clue, although ne maze

of susnicious characters, etc. Cutting a
niece from one of the quilts previously re,
ferred to, Mr.. Duncan came to Dallas, and
Yesterday morning, visited the boarding

and showed his scrap of quilting to the
| landlord, who at once recognized a SIM,
larity between it and the quilts which had
been purloined from him. Mr.. Franck gave
the detective pointer on persons whom
he suspected, and in pursuance
thereof two exceedingly hard-looking par
ties, who gave their names as Pat Nolan
and Charley ODonnell, were arrested and
lockedsup. On their persons were found
several pocket-books and a large package

they found the powder in box-car and
that the pocket-books were given them by

A Race For Liberty.

In the county court yesterday the case
of the state of Texas against Milan Rector,
a colored youth, was arraigned to answer
to the charge of gaming, to which he
pleaded guilty. Deputy Sheriff Moon went
with the prisoner to the corner of 4arket
and Commerce streets where he claimed he
could raise the money, which amounted to
a $40 fine and cost, but on arriving there
he made break for liberty. The officer at
tempted to detain him by catching him by
the coat, but he tore that garment IN
eve and ran rapidly down Market street
and up Main To jefferson, where the official
optic lost sight of him. The officer followed
as fast as he could in his wake, and found
him ensconsed under house on Gas hill, y
and conveyed him back to jail, and once
more he gazes with far-away look through
the bars of prison cell.
