being falsely interpreted by certain people
in this country. The negro is dying out.
AS race he is bound to die out. That is
what will become of him. 1t is the history
of all inferior races. And here is the broad
distinction. The negro race is scrub race.
The white race is thoroughbred race. In
time the scrubs are bound to die out, but the
thoroughbreds live on and prOcreate the

A LoNG-PFNDING DEATH-sENTENCE.-
In the winter of 1860 Charles Warren, far
mer, shot and killed John Burton in Waco,
Texas. 1t was in the stormy period pre-
ceding the Civil War, and the dispute grew
out of an argument respecting the right of
State to secede. Warren took the Southern
and Burton the Union side of the argument.
Warren was tried in the District Court of
this county. The evidence against him
must have been strong, for, despite his
Southern proclivities, the jury found him
guilty, and fixed the penalty at DEATH. His
counsel took an appeal to the Supreme Court
of the State, and, pending it's consideration,
Warren was taken for safe.keeping to the
Freestone county Jail in February, 1861.
Warren had a young daughter, Rebecca.
Soon after his removal to the Fairfield Jail,
Rebecca went to Fairfield. Without re-
vealing her name or relationship to War
rem, she sought the iailer, pleading poverty
and friendlessness, and obtained employ
ment in his family, as domestic. She af-
forwards stole the keys of the Jail from the
jailer's pocket one night and released her
father. Warren enlisted in Texas regi-
ment and served the four years of the war
ended he went to Western Texas and set
tied down to farming. His wife died and
he married again. The Supreme Court,
when news was received of his escape from
Jail dismissed the appeal and the case had
passed out of mind here. OF the jury that
convicted Warren, probably all are dead.
The Judge, however, the Hon. n. w. Bat
tie, is still living here, and so are two of
the States witnesses who testified against
Warren. '...--.. .-
BY some means Van Hall, the head of
Halls Detective Agency here heard that
Warren was living in Lampassas county.
Hall procured the requisite papers, went to
Lampasas recently and arrested Warren.
He was brought to Waco and placed in Jail.
He is now siXty-four years old, gray and de-
crepid. The old man broke down and wept
as the Jail door closed on him. He says he
is poor, and hardly knows what to do. The
case has excited much interest, and many
persons have visited Warren in Jail. Law
the District Judge here will be compelled to
order the Sheriff to carry out the sentence
pronounced against Warren twenty-four
years ago. Leading citizens will appeal to
| the Governor to either pardon Warren or
commute the sentence. The daughter who
released her father quarter of q century
ago is still living in this county, staid
matron with grown children.-'San Fran

THE PEOPLE OF HUDSON BAY.-We come
now to Lieutenant Gordon'S observations
upon the natural history of the country, and
first of all as to it's human inhabitants.
These are very scanty, and, with the ex-
ception of few white men at the traders
posts, are solely Eskimos. On the north
side of the strait they are quite familiar
with the ways of white men, and seem to
be highly pleased at the prospect of increas-
ed intercourse with them. Occasionally one
is met with who has mastered the English
tongue, but not often. Many others under
stand we'll enough what is said to them in
that language, although they cannot be per-
suaded to speak it. They are particularly
| fond of any article of civilized clothing, and
the head-man at North Bluff manifested no
small pride at the possession of stand-up
linen collar, which he displayed to the ut
most advantage. In character they are do
cile, amiable, and willing to work. When
landing the stores and coal at North Bluff
they worked all day. along with the men,
carrying heavy weights up over the rocks,
and toifing away as cheeriy and heartily
as could be desired, asking no other relnu-
| nerat0n than biscuits, of which commodity
they are inordinately fond.
These people have no farinaceous food of
any kind, and, as a consequence, the chill
dren are not Weaned until they reach the
age of three or four years. The families are
small, there rarely being more than two or
three children, andathough early marriages
are the rule, their numbers must be dimin-
ishing because signs of their presence were
met with everywhere, while the people
themselves were found at only three places
along the straits, and there are only some
five or six families known to be between
Cape Chudeigh and Nachvak. Along the
Labrador coast the Eskimos gather in small
settlements around the MOravian mission
stations. Main is considered the largest
settlement, and its Eskimo population does
not exceed two hundred souls. Those at
| the stations are all educated, Delng aple
to read and write in their own language,
and, according to the missionaries, are reg
ular attendants at church and very fond of
music-two excellent and hopeful traits
certainly. Science Monthly, lime.

EXPLAINING SOME THINGs.-The world
learns geography and many other things by
means of war. Many of the changes that
have been wrought in society have been due
to knowledge and prejudices acquired or re-
and England conclude to settle the Eastern
question once for all on the boundaries of
Afghanistan, we shall presently be as famil-
! lar with the little satrapies of that far dis
tant region as we thought ourselves learned
on surgical terms when President recent

nation of all such as have desire to post
themselves in advance, it may be said that
