Barbed Wire.

The mission of barbed wire on earth
seems to be to create trouble. Here
and in the neighboring states barbed
wire is monopolizing the attention of
the courts and lawyers, and down in
Texas it is killing off cowboys and peace
officers all over the prairies. Men will
go to law or kill each other more cheer
fully to sustain their views on barbed
wire than for almost anything else
politics not excepted. And yet the pat
ent office keeps grinding out patents for
barbed wire, to the distress and con
fusion of the whole country. Dynamite
distresses England barbed wire is what
hurts usage of Steel.

BROWNSVILLE. Tex, June 15.-Quar-
antine was established at noon to-day
between Brownsville and Matamoras,
and guards have been stationed along
the river. This action on the part Of
the authorities of the state of Texas was
brought about by the failure Of the city

agreed. Both Brownsville and Mata-
matamoras are at present free from fever

the consul. The bullet passed through

knocked him down. The wounded
mai pointed out the soldier who fired
the shot, but the latter with two COM

the soldier mistook the consulfo an Off
Ger in civilian dress, against whom he
had a grudge. The commander at Bor-
deaux has ordered an inquiry.

TILDEN's letter, declining to sacrifice
himself on the altar of democracy,
which has just been published, is in his
usual able style, and is a death blow to
that fossilized party. With Tilden as
their candidate they affected some hope
of success; without him the prospect is
cherries and gloomy. Never was a
party SO utterly in despair and so hope
lessly at sea within three weeks of the
nominating convention.
