 The Tm<s-D<mocyas says: At Cloucesser, N. ], pear tree is still bearing fruit that was brought m fower-pot from England in I6o7." Fruit that was brought from England in 1897 is getting to be pretty old. Hen fruit has been known to attain great age, but pears, hitherto, were not thought te possess the elements of such wonderful preservation.
 It is said that General Butler was pever embarrassed but once in his life. This fact is causing much newspaper com ment. General Butler has never been regarded as a bashful man, and the possibility Of his having been embar- rassed awakens more than momentary interest During the old mans turbulen, solourn at New Orleans he won the name of being quite free from embarrassment. and no one, not even his most intimate aequaintances, accused him ofbeing shy.

People are very apt to argue that, as
every thing has to have beginning,
and time to grow, our new university
cannot be as good as an older one until
number OF years has passed over its
head. But the very thing the regents
claim to have done Is to have made
their university an exception, from the
first, to this slow rule. The venerable
president, in the elegant discourse
with which he opened the session,
September last, said that their aim
was not to present the state with an
infant muse, on which we must wait
tw-nty years for its growth; but with
an adult virgin, springing like
Minerva, full grown and full
armed from the brain of Ieus.
We repeat: If this proud boast is not
true, is 1t the fault ofthe regents? Have
they not applied their income gener-
ously, to provide the noblest buildings
and fullest instruction? Did they col
lect faculty Of untried men, to make
their reputation in future at the ex-
pense Of our community? No; they
culled out the most experienced talent
from the very institutions which our
young men admireso highly, and COM
bined them into IL harmonious faculty,
giving all the inducement which lib
eral and handsome salaries can present.
Why is 1t that the very men whose
learning and talent were the attrac-
tions OF the older institutions cannot
make in Texas as good one, which
need not be crude because it IL new?
Does Texas air iDjure mems brains?
The end of our homily TO our young
men is simply this: BE just and loyal
enough to your own state to come home
and give your own university trial.

Rioters and Fence Cutters.

The history of the Cincinnati riot
conveys wholesome lesson to such as
would for an instant put established
and conservative practices in the back
ground and appeal for rectilicatiop
Of abuses to the mob. There were good,
men concerned in the
assault on Berner, who proposed to in
flict that deserved penalty upon muir
der that the laws miscarriage had
thwRrted. The outbreak was led with
plan, but its primary object was de-
feated and the murderer escaped. Be
ing foiled of its prey, the mob vented
its disappointment upon every object
at hand. The dumb, insensste walls
OF the court house in which the trav-
esty of justice took place ut Berner's
trial excited their british rage, and
they turned TO destroy il. The more
temperate, whose pupose was the pun
ishment of the criminal, withdrew at
this manifestation of mobbish de-
structlVeness. The iiercest elements
of the lawless population turned out,
and that which was designed
to correct an evil became in turn
more monstrous evil. The
spirit OF the commune led the crowd
and destruction followed. That class
of the population which lives at en-
nifty with society and property rights
seized the opportunity to wreck and
destroy, impelled by no other motive
but the rage for razing down all mon
umenis OF industry and wealth. The
conflict that ensued cost the lives OF
more than half q hundred human he,
ings, and the destruction of hundreds
of thousands Of property. All this fol

had escaped deserved death-and who
