From New York Special Dispatch.
Inc curious examination as to the
Identity of a two-year-old baby which
Mrs. SaYillar Downing says is her
child and which was secreted from
her by its father, Forest S. Downing.
and which others say is Carlos VIII
son, born three months before Savil-
lars baby, was continued to-day.
Lawyer Secor, who contests the
claim, alleges that the baby is really
Carlos Wilson, and that Mrs. Down
Ing's baby died and was buried. Mrs.
DoWnlng's lawyer says the baby that
was buried was girl and not Mrs.
Downing's BABY at all, but another
baby palmed off upon her by the in
stigation of her alleged husband, with
whom she has not lived since the
birth of the child. DR.. WATERBURY.
who attended both babies at the
house of Mrs. Diener. where thew
were born, thought the baby in court
was Carlos wilson. He then exam
lned the baby, which objected strenu-
ously, and became quite uncertain as
to what baby it was.
Mrs. D1ener was recalled. She said
she had observed that Mrs. DoWniug's
child had very small middle toes. She
was very sure the child in court was
not that child. Then the baby was
examined again and it cried. Accord
ng to one observer-the father of five
children, including twins, the middle
'oes were unusually small. The ex-
animation of Mrs. Diener went on.
md she persisted in her story. Mrs.
Downing's lawyer tried to get her to
admit that the baby in court had
jumps on his head like the Jumps on
Mrs. Downing's baby. Then the baby
vas again examined and again wept.
T will be examined some more on
Wednesday,.

and its practice. That paper never
wearies of telling how a newspaper
ought to be conducted editorially, and
congratulating itself on its dignity
and charity. This morning it con-
tanned an elaborate editorial on "Es-
sentials to the Successful Conduct of
Public Journals" in which it
holds up its holy hands at what it de-
dominates "the luxuries of abuse and
personalities" and inveighs against
the "license" of "those who preside
over the editorial columns of news
papers," With the sentiments of the
editorial The Times is in substantial
agreement, but all the same it must
charge its contemporary with numer-
GUS glaring violations of its
creed. For instance: in an adjoin-
ing column, on the same page, the
Express prints as purely personal
squib as it has ever been our fate to
read, and of which the editor of the
Austin STATESMAN is the subject.
By insinuatlon and by direct asser-
ton, THE STATESMAN editor is dealt |
as sharp, unrelenting, personal thrusts |
as the writer of them could pen, and |
all this squarely in the face of the
gOA 0AIlou az lAo1 POioouo1 JUL AoAotH.
1t has not been many days since the
editor of the Times had his share of
the same treatment, though in a
milder form. AS far as the Times is
when it feels that it stands
in need of teacher in the art journal
lstic, it will apply to some source
whose example bears decent proper
ton to its teaching, and we presume
most other newspapers will exhibit
the same preference.

THE GAME OF KENO.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, April ID, 1884.
To the Editor of THE STATESMAN.
SIR For Gods sake and the sake
of young men of Austin please pub
lish this article in bold relief in THE
DAILY STATESMAN, and you will be
doing public good.
Respectfully, an
EX-KENo PLAYER.
Young men play "keno," old men
play "keno;" all play to make stake.
Who makes the largest stake? Who
looses? Take for instance the fol-
lowing result of the games played last
night in a supposed "Keno Room"
Twenty-Five men go in to play-time,
8 o'clock. Each man has in pocket
SO; each man buys four cards; each
card cost % cents; therefore each man
stakes 81 each game. There is in first
pot $25-bank commissions 10 per
cent, or $3.50. Ten games are played
bank commissions 10 per cent, $25.
Time, hour 30 minutes. The game
goes on as above: In three hours the
bank has $50; in six hours the bank
has 500; in nine hours the bank has
$50. Game closes O'Clock a. m. Now

The twenty-five men commenced
PLAYING with $40 each, amounting tC
$3.50. The bank gets as commission
$50. This leaves between the twenty

The above is correct, and exhibit:

A Mad Texas Steer.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A mad Texas steer that escaped
from the West Philadelphia stock
yards Hoped over Market street bridge e
about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He stopped, shifted and paved the
ground at Twenty-frst street and dis
persed crowd of gas works employees
in front of a saloon on the corner,
Three blocks further down Market
street the sight of a big red hottie in a
druggists window Infatuated him and
he turned loose in prairie fashion. A
fat man of north Fourteenth street
shrieked with terror as the steer
charged at him under the elevated
railroad, and few minutes later
rumor was circulated in the public
buildings that a Pennsylvania railroad
locomotive had jumped through a
Broad street station and was coming
straight across Penn square.
Clerk Briggs, of Mr.. Estabrook's
office, went out to investigate the
rumor and came back breathlessly in
a few moments with confirmation of
the story. Then the whole force of
the buildings turned out to witness
the scene. The steer had missed fire
in his charge on the north Fifteenth
street man and had impaled an ash
barrel on his horns. AS he galloped
the ashes flew in clouds about his
head, which was the cause of Mr..
Briggs misrepresentation as to the To-
connective. The steer charged straight
at the bill-boards outside of the build
ings. He struck section containing
a life-size Autograph of one of the
white elephants, and turned up Fill.
bert street with a gesture of dismay,
with the barrel still on his horns.

Two English Journalists.

From the Philadelphia Daily Record.
When Mr.. Edmund Yates started
the World, the father of the society
journals, he was poor, and the capital
was chiefly loaned by Mr.. Labouchere
and Mr.. Fithian, son-in-law of the
late Richard B. Connolly. The idea
belonged to him alone. Mr.Labouchere
was financial editor. and, seeing the
papers success, started Truth, not in
any spirit of opposition, for the two
journals have mutually served each
other, but that she might have an
organ of his own to get even with
some of his friends" The two editors
are socially the best of friends, and
when some journal spread rumors to
the contrary Labouchere went at once
to Yates and Enthusiastically sug-
gested that they should go down and
take off their coats and affect fight
in front of the office, so as to swell the
sensation.

IcaruS.


He was rustic, happy at his pillow
He went forth in the morning, tOiling calm,
And thro' the noontlde labOred in content:
Peace filed his heart-and isnot Peace enough?
Sand CLEANS adiamOnd when the sun is bright,
Once from his soul spray of rhyme flashed
out,
The which the neighbors praised with noisy
clack,
And many more who flattered-praise is cheap.
So he went on and dreamed himself inspired.
Forsook his toll and sung of leaf and bee,
OF bloom and bee in orchards lush and old !;
Then grew profound and analyZedithe heart,
Psychic, the soul, and reasons secret source,
Thro' labyrinths of metaphysic slime,
Turned atheist and SCARED on.
What next! Why praise
Fools babbled in his ear sweet lies of fame,
Midge-critics flattered, since he liked it best,
And baser fools, who knew not right from
wrong,
Called him the flower of our restless age;
So, like a fly, he fed on poisoned sweets
And droned about, a hero to himself,
Feeling important in the MONDAY sun.
Ills told IcaruS tried his wings and fell;
Even the gods sometimes make great mistakes.
With sounding clash now came his verses out,
And then true critics told him sober truths
Such as he had not heard, but felt were true,
So that at last he turned and cursed himself
And the cursed liars who had lied him down.
Till, brooding on his woes, he craZed and died
Not a struck eagle, but Snuffed-out gnat.
Who were to blame-the critics or the fools?

THE COURTS.

Among the opinions rendered yes
terday by the court of commissioners
of appeals was one in the important
case of G. L. Pratt VS.. Erastus Jones,
Clay county, involving the validity of
tax titles generally, and consequently
affecting vast interests in this state.
The opinion naturally excites great
deal of concern among parties holding
tax titles, but is not final till adopted
by the supreme court, which will
probably pass upon it this morning.
The opinion as rendered by Judge
Watts affirms the decision of the low
er court, which was against the tax
deed in gu otion in the case. He
holds that there is nothing in the
onsti tuition or stat utes to effect
or in any modify the general rules of
evidence requiring party claiming
under a tax title to show reasonable
compliance with the statutes author
izing tax sales.
Opinions were given in other cases
affirming judgment in Torrance VS..
Davis from johnson county. Opinion
by Judge Delaney. In Watkins VS..
Davis, from Dallas, opinion by Judge
Watts, reversing Judgment of lower
court and remanding the case; and
in Mensing VS.. Axer and Engelke.
from Washington, by Judge Watts,
also reversing the Judgment of the
lower court and remanding the case.
