Veterans of the Mexican War,

A recent Washington dispatch says
the Senate has passed the Mexican
pension bill by vote of 81 to 81
Four Democratic Senators voted for
passage of the bill and two Republi.
cans against it. The Democrats who
voted for the bill were Butler, George,
Lamar and Ransom, and the Repubi.
can Senators who voted against it were
Edmunds and Hawley. In addition to
the amendments adopted Monday, the
Senate agreed to an amendment
offered by Senator Mitchell that no
person shall be entitled to more than
one pension at the same time, which
prevents persons already on the pen.
sion rolls from receiving any further
benefits. Senator Williams and his
colleagues on the Democratic side
fought vigorously against the adoption
of Mitchell's amendment, which gives
q pension to all disabled soldiers of
the late war who served for three
months, and increases the rate Of the
pension of the widows and minor
children of soldiers and soldiers who
are now receiving under existing laws
IS per month to $12 per month. The
Democrats insisted that the amend
ment would increase the cost of pen
sons from $e5000,000 to $50, 900, 900,
but Senator Mitchell, Chairman Of the
Pensions Committee, had received a
carefully prepared estimate from the
Commissioner Of Pensions, showing
that the cost would be but $12, 800, 900.
The bill provides for the payment of a
pension of SO per month to the soldiers
of the Mexican war, and provides that
they shall also be entitled to the same
rate for disabilities as is now paid to
the soldiers of the war Of the rebellion.
The Democratic Senators profess TO
believe that the House will not concur
in the Senate amendments 10 the bill.
and charge that these amendments
were put in the bill for the purpose of
defeating it. Representative Lowering,
of Massachusetts, who is the author of
the bill now pending before the
House Committee on Invalid Pensions
to grant pension. of SO per month to
all the soldiers and sailors OF the late
war who served three months, said last
night that he thought there would be
enough votes in the House in favor of
the Mexican bill rs it passed the
Senate to secure Il concurrence in the
Senate am endments.

they could feel color without seeing

was instantaneous and could be relied
upon; so full of life, that when their
possessor was in love, they tingled

1t Is said that very quiet eyes, that
impress and embarrass one with their
repose, signify self-command, but also
much complacency and some conceit.
Restless eyes that cannot look one
steadily in the face denote deceitful,
designing mind. Eyes, in which the
white has y yellowish tingc, and is
streaked with reddish veins prove
much of strong passions and hasty
tempers. Very blue eyes bespeak n
mind inclined to coqnetry; gray eyes
signify dignity, intelligence and cx

eyes, falsehood and fondness for
scandal. A malicious mind is often
indicated by greenish eyes. Black
eyes show passionate lively temper.

STAR ROUTE RASCALITY.

Thr Story OF Lawyer who was Brtbed
to Shield a Contractor.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-Chas. d.
Coleman, an attorney of Plymouth,
Michigan, in his testimony before the
committee investigating the star
route trials said that VIM. A. Cook,
one of the government counsel in the
prosecution, accepted several hundred
dollars to prevent the Indictment of
DIR. Colgrave. a star route contractor.
DR.. ColgraYe, witness said, was inter-
ested in number of routes and was
innocent of any fraudulent action,
but preferred paying the money to
prevent an Indictment rather than
have the notoriety which would have
ensued had the bill been found. The
negotiations, Coleman said, were con-
Quoted through Cole, the partner of
Cook. Witness continued: went to
Cole and conferred with him upon
the subject. He told me he
had thought he could and Mr..
Colgrave, and saw him go from the
room in which we were, into the ad-
joining room, and have a conversa-
tion with Cook. He came back and
informed me that he would be able to
help the doctor, and he would want,
in the first place, $500; but he after
wards got, 1 think, $780, Cole told me
he got the money, and he also told me
he divided with Cook"
"Was it at a time when Cook was in
the government service?" asked Mr..
Springer.
Eyes, sir. 1t was during President
Garfield'S sickness at Elberon."

Girls and Athletics,

IT. w. Higginson in Woman's Journall
l can testify that there is now
among Harvard undergraduates for
instance, a positive respect for young
lady who has enough of ability
to bear excessive fatigue"-the
fatigue implied, it may be in tir-
ing them out at lawn tennis.
The mere ability to play this
game, as some of our girls now play
it, or to undertake such walking and
boating expeditions as some of them
achieve these things indicate that
the day has passed by when DIR. Greg
ory and DIR. Fordyce were final au-
thorities. Still. it is unsatisfactory to
think that while American women
have lead their English cousins in so
many school and collegiate mat
ters-for it was Vassar and Cornell
which prepared the way for Girton
and Newnham-our country women
have followed English women instead
of leading them, as to athletic habits.
Croquet and lawn tennis had each
prevailed in England several
years before their Ameri-
can naturalization, and it bids fair to
be the same with the tricycle.. Fortu-
nately the enjoyment of an outdoor
exercise bears no reference to its nov
city, and American women enjoy their
physical emancipation none the less
for taking it secondhand. But why
not originate?

JAMES ID. SHEEKS,

The subject of this article is too well
known to the citizens of Austin and
the district to need an introduction at
the hands of this paper. He has
grown up among the people; is uni
versally regarded as young m an of
sterling ability, and among Iawye rs
as thorough and vigorous prosecutor.
Since his appointment us district
attorney, the positi: he now seeks
to be returned to by the votes of the
people, his record is admirable. The
number of convictions under his
prosecution have been largely in
creased, those of the last term of the
district court numbering twenty-four
or twenty-five.
These facts must necessarily, and
should come before the district con-
ventiOn, and will doubtless have
much to do with the naming of the
next candidate.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

SENAIb.
WASHINGTON, June 10-Numer-
GUS amendments were offered to the
post Office appropriation bill, but voted
down. Without further action the
committee rose.
The senate amendments to the Dis
trict Of Columbia appropriation bill
were not concurred In. The house
then took recess until 8, the even
ing session, to be for the considera-
tion of business reported from the In
dian affairs committee.
The pension bill was displaced by
regular order, and the Utah bill for
mally laid aside to admit considera-
tion of the consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Allison explained the amend
ments proposed by the senate commit
tee on appropriations had added $780,
Geo to the bill, as it came from the
house. The house had appropriated
$500,Cc0 less than the appropriation
last year.
The bill was read by sec
tions and the amendments proposed
by the senate committee were agreed
to with only the interposition of an
occasional remark, an inquiry, and an
explanation, except as to the provision
appropriating $250000 to meet the ex-
penses attendant upon the execution
of the neutrality act. When this pro-
vision was reached, it was held in
allegiance until the remaining provis-
ions were disposed of. On those being
agreed to, Mr.. Allison moved that the
senate proceed to the consideration of
the clause referred to in executive
session, which was agreed to, and the
senate went into secret session. Its
deliberations were continued until
Clio, when the senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-In the
house Ochiltree moved to strike out
the clause appropriating $250,010 for
continuing the improvements in Gal
weston harbor. The people, he said,
thought the plan of the government
engineers for improving the harbor
radically wrong, and favored Eads'
plan. In the last twelve years more
than $1,5C0,000 had been absolutely
wasted, under the present plan, in an
attempt to deepen the water on the
outer bar at Galveston. For the past
twelve years the people of that city
have been entertained with "tropical-
ly fertile" promises and Sahara ster-
lity performance" by the government
engineers.
Kelly expressed confidence in the
engineer corps, but the motion to
strike out was agreed to.
Mr.. Morrison chairman of the ways
and means committee, reported a con-
current resolution providing for the
final adjournment of congress on
Monday, June 80, at 3 p. m. Adopted
without division.
Mr.. Belforn offered an amendment
approprirting $2C00C0 for the con-
struction of a canal from Fort Col
Inns to Platt river, Colorado. Ruled
out of order.

Organic Life.

Some one reasoning on the hypoth-
esis that organic lifeis only able to re-
sist its own destruction by the ordina-
ry law of nature through the constant
change of bulk and form of its body,
has advanced suggestion which may
prove fruitful in these days of vivisec-
ton. When it is desirable to prolong
the life of plant some parts are cut
off from it or another body fastened
to it, or vice versa; and of this sort of
treatment for the promotion of lon
gevity in the vegetable kingdom a
most notable and successful instance
is incidentally cited-the rose bush,
now nearly a thousand years old,
which is trained on the walls of a
church in Hildesheim. Further-ac-
cepting as true the proposition that in
the animal kingdom those creatures
which by some means are able to
change the bulk or form of their bod
les, live longer than those that cannot
do so-our author ventures the belief
that we may lengihen human life Ey
removing morbid matter at certain
intervals, or by altering the form of
the body!

Wool Production-Wheat and Oat Yield
Popular Interest in Schools.
Special Telegram to The Statesman.
SAN SABA, June 10.-Great quanti-
ties of wool are coming in destined,
principally, for Lampasas and Burnet.
This wool comes from MCCULLOUGH
and this county. The wool of Tom
Green and Concho counties which in
other years was shipped through this
place, now goes to Abilene and other
points on the Texas & Pacific road.
The wheat harvest has commenced
pretty generally in the county, and
some are threshing, the yield being, so
far as reported, about 21 bushels to
the acre. The weather is clear and
fair and very promising for harvest
i'm. The peach and cherry crop is very
large, and is now ripening. The oat
crop is very rank in growth, though
much damaged by being beaten down
by excessive rains; it will not yield
more than tWo-thirdS of one-half a
crop on this account.
The tax assessor reports over 1,400
children within the scholastic age,
against 1,O00 last year. The people are
taking a deeper interest in educational
matters than formerly. Our county
schools will soon equal any others in
the state.
