That usually accurate and judicious
paper. The Cleburne Chronicle, v
when Texas was admitted into the
Union it was under a solemn contract
that whenever she desired to withdraw
from the Union She could do so" Could
The Chronicle produce such a contract it
would rank as one of the most curious
secrets in diplomacy. The articles of
annexation passed by the United States
congress simply provided for the admis-
sion of Texas las one of the states of the
Union under certain conditions; but not
q word was said Of the right of the state
TO secede.
After various negotiations on the sub
jeot the United States congress passed a
joint resolution declaring that the ter
ritory belonging to the republic of Texas
might be erected into a new state and be
admitted into the Union on certain con
ditions, including the cession by Texas
10 the United States of public editices,
such rs Notifications, barracks, forts and
harbors, navy and navy yards, docks,
magazines, armament and all other prop
erty and means pertaining to public de
Tense, Texas to retain all her public
lands, funds, debts, taxes and dues of
every kind. Texas, through her con
gress and u convention, accepted the
conditions. The final act of the United
States congress on the subject declares
that Texas us admitted into the Union
on an equal footing with the original
states in all respects whatever. 1T Gal

Notwithstanding the ~well-known i'm
projections in all appliances for utilizing
the full amount Of energy which is due
TO the combustion Of coal, both on land
and water, the great improvements in
that direction which have been made
during the last quarter of n century are
indeed remarkable. A single example,
for instance, is afforded in the case of
the steamer Burgos, built especially to
carry cargoes cheaply at a low speed,
and which left England for China with a
cargo weighing 600, 900 pounds. Dur
ing the first part of the voy-
age, from Plymouth to Alexandria, the
consumption of coal was 2S2, 24O
pounds, the distance being 1880 miles;
the consumption per mile was, there
fore. only s3.5 pounds, and the con-
sumption per ton of cargo per mile
Docs of II pound; in other words, half
an ounce of coal propelled one ton of
cargo per mile.
1t is further stated that the best loco
motive performance in this country
shows n consumption Of about two
ounces Of coal per ton Of freight hauled
one mile. at the rate of thirteen miles an
hour, including stoppages; on lines
having grades of from fifty-three to sew
enty feet per mile, the consumption
often rises to five or more ounces.- Bos-
ton Budget.

A ID

Carl SchuH kindly makes public his
views IN New York politics, and urges
the Mugwumps to support Davenport
rather than Hill. In presenting his
views Mr.. Schurz goes out Of his way
to attack the Democratic party for insin-
ccrity in regard to civil service reform.
Mr.. Sehurz is always very willing to
give his views on topics of the day,
especially when he can get cash for them,
but a lecture on sincerity from such a
political mountebank as he is particularly
offensive.
Carl Schurz gave rs his views in 1876
that r. b. Hayes was not fit to be sup
ported by Republicans, yet in a few
short months he wns a whining and syco-
phantic member Of Hayes cabinet, in
spite of the faint Of fraud. His admin
i%stration of the interior department was
the most corrupt known in the history of
this government. He tried to get into
Garfield's cabinet, but Blaine wouldn't
have it; and so Schurz foamed at the
mouth when Blaine was nominated, and
he Immediately began to speak against
the man, who knew him to be a fraud, for
5000 II night and expenses. Carl Schurz
has had more and cheaper kinds of poll
tics than any living man, and for him to
pirate about reform and sincerity is as dis.
gushing as to hear the devil quote scrip
ture. After next Tuesday Schurz should
take his proper place as the advance agent
of the Salvation Army.

from Hamburg The empress of Ger

in the charge, once made publicly, that
Anderson wa undecided whether to cast
his lot with the North or the South. and
only reluctantly decided to defend Sumter
instead Of voluntarily defending it, Mn.

My observation on life is that it is
not much concerned with death. If you
notice how fast the carriages come away
from the funerals, even with the chief
mourners in them, you will infer that
life starts afresh with the first hunger
after a deprivation. These cemeteries
which surround our cities are the high
est proofs Of our piety, for although we
seldom visit them after we have laid the
dead there, we do devote some art and
a good deal of money to the worship Of
our ancestors, like the Chinese.
But Il ancestors set us the example;
they never had a Jewish wailing place,
never regretted the fall Of Jerusalem or
any other spot, but went ON wor-
Shipping the future with all their might.
