INTEREST in the state campaign Is
rapidly developing. Indeed few
weeks since it was the deceptiveness
which attends the tamely appearing
lava crust, whileall below is seething,
boiling, molten current ,of liquid fire.
The STATESMAN has done what it
could to arouse interest in the strug-
gle which is to dispose of affairs so
important to the veal or the woe of
Texas. Let us not shut our eyes to
the gravity of the situation, or to the
imminency of the peril threatening
the party, but let us, like earnest, pa
triotic men, address ourselves to the
task of providing competent safe
guard. Let all who love Texas see to
it that set Of delegates be chosen to
Houston who will have the nerve re-
quisite to act for the interests of the
state and the party, without reference
to the bosses, or any one OF them
Earnest work must be done or mis-
take will be committed, from whose
bad consequences the state will not
soon recover.

Blaine Nominated,

The result of the Chicago conven-

Blaine was not unexpectedIhere. The
set of the current in this direction for
some time has been such as to leave
very little doubt Of the result when
the issue was joined in good earnest
at Chicago. 1t has been very evident
even since last Saturday that there
could be but one outcome so far as
the head of the ticket was concerned.
Blaine will make hard fight and it
will take a man all over to beat him.
Blaine's political life isn't Just as pure
as the lives of the yestal virgins and
the Mulligan letters are still
extant, and there is a vast
sum of human misery in them for
James G. Blaine, of Maine. 1t is a
strong nomination so far as a per-
sonal campaign is concerned, but in
all other respects it will prove to be
a weak one. With high tariff plat

THE communication from E. L.
Blackshear, published elsewhere to-
day, is in many respects remarka-
bic document. It is brief, terse and
clear statement of a set of facts,
which are so grouped that the whole
question of the race status is given as
in a CLEAN, as sudden and very nearly
as blindingly bright as the lightning's
flash itself. The document is we'll
worth a careful perusal. 1t Is pub
lished verbatim, and altogether with
out correction or amendment. The
suggestion as to the condition of the
negro politically, driven out by the
republicans and not received by the

hard dry fact, and shows that the
negro is not insensible to the stupen-
duous ingratitude of the republican

PrOlOnging Life.
(Chambers' Journal.l

1t was during the darkness of the
middle ages, ripe with fanaticism and
superstition, that the most absurd ideas
of witchcraft, horoscopes, chiromancy,
and empirical panaceas for the pro-
longation of life first became dissemin-
ated. The philosophers stone and
elixir of life were then vaunted by the
alchemistS.
Foremost among kne prolopgers of
life We find Paracelsus, an alchepist of
great renown, and man of considerable
attainments. He claimed to have dis
covered the elixir of life. So great was
his influence that even the learned
Erasmus did not disdain to consult him.
Patients and pupils flocked around him
from every quarter of Europe. Notwith-
standing his famous ''stone of immor-
tality, he died at the age of so. His
vaulted elixir was kind of sulphur simi-
lar to compound sulphuric ether. New
ertheless, to the researches of Paracelsus
We are indebted for our primary kSowl-
edge Of mercury, which he was the first
TO use As a medicine.
About this epoch Leonard Thurneys-
ser attained worldwide celebrity as an
astrologer and nativity caster. He was a
physician, printer, bookseller and horo-
scopist all in one. He professed that,
by the aid Of astrology, he could not
only predict future events, but likewise
prolong life He published yearly an
astrological calendar, describing the ma
ture of the forthcoming year and its
chief events His calendar and other
qdackeries enabled him to amass the
sum of 1 200 florins. He declared that
every man lay under the influence of
certain star, by which his destiny was
ruled. On ascertaining from what planet
a persons misfOrtunes or sickness pro-
ceeded, he advised his patient TO re
move his residence within the control of
a more propitious luminary. In short,
to escape from the influence of ma
hgnant to a more friendly satellite was
the basis of his theory,

suppose something of the working of
civilization should be noticed in chill
dren But it is not. The children of
all periods, all classes, all races, betray
the same original tastes. Their amuse-
ments have varied but little; they have
everywhere a tendency to play ball, to
break things, to tease one another, to
make mud pies and revel in sand, to
tear their clothes, and there has been,
so far as records go. no time or place in
the history of the world when they have
behaved any differently from what they
do to-day. 1t would seem that human
nature is a simple thing enough as it has
been created, and civilization is merely
lot of complications produced by men.
