Tom OcHILTREE teiegraphs MAYOR
FULTON, of Galveston, that the river
and harbor committee, in granting
$75O,eOO, is victory all along the line.
OF course it is. Galveston wanted
S7,750000 and got less than 10 per cent.
of that amount. She wanted all the APP
preparations from congress without con-
tributing one cent from her own treas
ure, or by her people. Now she comes
forward and agrees to give $4,000 per
foot to CAPT. EADs for every foot OF wa
ter gained. This will make taxes very
high in that city. Is there any sun
meaning stuff in this? is a question
asked of the News?

of an applicant for office under Mr..

applying for a foreign mission; couldn't
get it; then wanted territorial judgship,

bureauship; then clerkship, and finally
to an old pair of breeches. The story is
an old one, but the HERALD viii wager
that the EADs organ in Galveston won't

THE st. Louis GlobeDemocrat says
that ST. JOHN ought to be called "SNEAK
JOHN" After reviewing the whole
ground, the HERALD don't think so, Mr..
Globe-Democrat, nor do the people. ST.
JOINS idea of enforcing prohibition on
those who do not desire it, is bad, but
there is no necessity for applying ugly
names to a man simply because he
shut the doors against Republican office
holders. Fight ST. JOHN some other
way. He is not by many degrees as
corrupt as the Republican national com.
mittee who would have corrupted him.

Texas soldiers, aud on more than one
occasion suffered great hardships and

Baivies' nurse when he lay sick unto

Alamo, tended him faith
fully, and he breathed his
last on her bosom. She attended the
grand bali before the storming. OF the
Alamo, aud heard Santa Annals historic

Frozen Wheat.

ST. VINCENT, September 13.-The
weather for the past week has been very
unsettled and farmers are experiencing 4
great deal of trouble in getting their grain
threshed. Heavy falls Of rain prevent
even ordinary progress in any kind of bus
mess out of doors. Some Of the wheat
will thresh light, other parts Of it fair, and
the great bulk will give good yield, av-
eraging twenty bushels; but the worst
feature connected with it is that a large
quantity Of it was frozen BY the frost two
weeks ago. just what percentage Of
wheat is frozen cannot we'll be given yet.
Oats were thrtshing lighter than was an
ticipated. Tney vi average not more
than fifty bushels to the acre.
