The city Of Galveston, Texas, was
visited on the morning of Friday, the
18th inst, with one Of the most destruc-
tive fires Of modern times. 1t originated
at LAO a. M, and soon passed out of
control, sweeping a space Of seven blocks
wide by one mile long. The loss is vari-
ously estimated at from two to four
million dollars. Many families escaped
in their night clothes, without saving
anything, and great distress prevails
among the losers. Contributions have
been libsrally sent forward from the
various cities of the Union, and all the
assistance possible is being rendered
those IN need.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Resident COresponaent.l

.pTOVL OHT 1tSStucUt OVTTCSpOtuCNtsl
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. II, 1885. !.
As predicted in these letters some time
since the changes in the Offices have
been more numerous this month than in
any other one month since the change Of
Administration. There are but very few
old and familiar faces in the high posi-
tions in the Treasury Department. The
weeding-out process is still going on, and
now the changes are being made in the
lower grades. The changes are few,
looked at through daily glasses, but when
summed up at the end of the month
respectable showing is made. 1t is ex.
pected that the number will be greater
still after the first Monday in December,
when Congress meets. There are many
palpitating hearts in manly and womanly
breasts, and the month of December is
dreaded.
The President is busily engaged in
writing his message, and thinks that one
of the best things he has done since he
has been in Office was issuing the order
cutting off Office seekers from interviews.
He now finds time to go over the reports
of his Cabinet officers and to write on
his message. In the message he will
discuss the silver question very thorough.
II and set forth strong reasons why the
Bland silver bill should be repealed.
The tariff question will enter largely
into the reorganization of the new House,
and is already being animatedly dis.
cussed by members in the city. Randall
is determined to make a stubborn fight
against depriving the Appropriation
Committee of any of the powers it has
heretofore enjoyed, aud he will be sup
ported by many of the Republicans
The fight this year will be over the for
nation and powers of the Committee
instead of directly on the Speakership.
The telephone controversy has con.
sumed most of the time of Secretary
Lamar this week. Numerous afidavits

and 1869 instruments for transmitting
sound by electricity, thus antedating
Bells invention. Muecci, the Italian
who Claims to have invented the tele-
phone as early as lS49, is present, and
takes an active part in the controversy.
The Secretary has his hands full, aud
will never be caught in like fix again.
He is hard worker and never shirks,
but has enough business in the regular
routine of his Department TO occupy the
whole of his time without having cases
referred from other Departments for his
action, however complimentary itmay be.

Out of Kansas Over the Mountains.

Mr.. EDITOR: At st. Louis and
Kansas City ran upon a considerable
number of home.seekers who were
making their way to the South slopes OF
the Boston and Ozark Mountains, which
is about the same altitude, latitude and
climate of Western s. O., and lies in
Southwestern and Northwest Arkansas.
Now, there is no State in the Union that
has a harder name than Arkansas, and
there is lots of truth in the sayings, so
far as sickness is concerned. There is a
large territory, in the eswamps along Lower
White and Arkansas Rivers, and in fact,
most of the low swampy sections, that is
undoubtedly very sickly. am sure a
square township of their best lands would
not induce the writer to live in this Sec

son Counties, where the rich bottoms OF
White River join the rich foothills of
the mountains, is, I know, The finest and
most desirable new country I syer saw
for an industrious farmer or stock.raiser.

to be in their natural cline, and quite a
business is done oyer the Iron Mountain
Road to St. Louis in this line alone.a
Steamboats, run along White River
from II to 5 miles from the railroad.
At the foothills of the mountains there
is quantity of game-there is plenty of
deer, turkey, squirrels, large rabbits, a
few bear and panther, beaver, otter, and
ducks without limit. The beautiful,
clear streams of water, up near the bills,
are filed with the finest fish, and very
large ones. Cattle, hogs and horses live
in the range, on the hills and bottoms,
both Winter and Summer, without feed
ing them, but of course would do much
better if fed in Winter, Il think). There

Visitors to the State Fair last week
speak in enthusiastic terms of the merit
of the exhibition in all departments,
claiming that it excelled all former ex.
hibits Of the Society, and that the at.
tendance was decidedly larger than it
has ever been before. They are, how.
ever, equally as unanimous and unquali.
fed in their hearty condemnation of the
ssBindling gamblers who were permitted
to ply their business under licenses from
the Society upon the grounds. 1t is,
however, due to the Society to say that
they condemned the granting of licenses
to these parties, and the President ex.
planned that they had been granted
under Misrepresentation as to their
character. The parties we're finally ar.
rested and carried before the Mayor and
fined forty dollars each for gambling.
This, however, was not punishment
sufficient to deter these men from their
business, and We think more certain pro.
lection should be afforded the public
against such future swindles. This can
be amply done by making the appropri.
alton from the State, conditioned upon
the Society keeping the grounds clear Of
such concerns, and we hope the Legisla-
ture will 80 protect the public. The
State Fair is valuable institution to
the State, and We rejoice to see its con-
tinued prosperity, by which the spirit Of
successful enterprise is didused all over
the State. The former officers of the
Society received a fitting compliment by
unanimous reelection.
