The Tall and Muscles of the Whale.
fIongman's Magaxine.1

The power Of this tremendous propulsory
apparatus il almost beyond conception The
weight OF q full-grown whale may be appre-
ciated when the reader reflects that the
famous elephant Jumbo" would have to be
multiplied many times before his weight
would equal that Of large whale. Yet the
lats Capt Scott, royal navy, told me that
when on the quarterback Of his own ship he
repeatedly saw the whales leaping in mere
play 80 high out Of tho water that the hori-
son was clearly visible under them. Now,
Capt Scott lived TO be nearly 100 years old,
and when he was in active service the
quarter-deck Of o man-of-war was at least
thirty feet above the water, add to this
measurement his own height (he being
rather tall mani, aud tho reader can then
appreciate the tsrribls power Of the animals

1t was covered with morning glories, pink,
white and purple and red. and was most
b.autiful sight. The morning glories should
be quite half of them white, so as to give the
house a bright look. Of mornings, with all
the flower trumpets expanded, the sun shin
ing upon them, and the leaves glistening
with dew, the mansion looked like q real

Russian officers must have q private for.
tune OF their own. The pay of the general
himself is only s., 200 year. That Of pri-
vate is half a cent day; rather small pay
for the privilege Of being shot at. But there
are many perquisites which go far to equal
ize matters. One of the best features Of the
Russian army organization is that the officers
are largely obtained by promotion from the
ranks. Young men pass examination and
are commissioned as officers.

III is no pleasant duty for the Ex-
AMISER to publish the wrong doings
of the people. 1t would far rather
do nothing of the sort. But news is
news. Truth is truth and while we
would far prefer that things would
fall out otherwise yet when men fight
or otherwise break the law they must
reflect that while il regrets it, the
EXAMINER will publish facts, names
and all else connected with the affair,
which II deems of sufficient Importance
TO warrant publicity. II is a duty we
owe to the public and we will dis
charge II no matter what the standing
and character of the participants may
he. Nor will any amount OF bull
doing or threats operate TO suppress
names. We do not iniract the law
aud If there is disgrace or unhappi-
ness in the matter We are not TO be
blamed for it. The best we can prom
ise in this connection is TO make facts
bear as lightly on the unfortunate as
possible, but as for keeping facts out
of the paper, that just simply cant be
done. N

Texas Char ces.

Texas sustains drouths with but the
partial bad effects which would COM
pietely ruin and totally destroy any
other country ON earth. Last sum-
mer we had ninety-three days without |
a drop of rain and this followed rain
season of longer duration and great
cr severity than is often seen in this
state. This of course constituted but
n bad preparation for drouth. Yet,
notwithstanding all these drawbacks,
Texas made half crop OF cotton
an excellent crop of grain and did
wei in many other respects. We have
again just emerged from rain spell, n
season of storm. disastrous as well
in the amount of water given the
oversoakcd earth rs in the weight and
force of the floods it produced.
But few days since 1t was thought
by all the best informed people of this
section OF Texas that the almost rip
encd wheat crop was totally destroy
ed or at least so badly blown down
that it could not be reaped and saved
by the ordinary means. Now it has
resumed its erect attitude and the
harvest is progressing very iavorably.
Corn in the submerged bottoms as
regarded as lost entirely. Since the
waters have receded il is found
10 have been injured to very
slight degree. Indeed the injury is
trivial and inconsiderable. Cotton
has suffered more than any
other crop, but the water is
gone now and the most of
the evils from that cause can be
retrived by prompt replanting and
careful culture until the end of the
season.
So 1t is that in this glorious Texas
of ours we are overtaken sometimes
by evils which seem perfectly engulf-
ing in their black curtain of unre-
lieved destruction. But let a few
days pass and it is perfectly astonish-
ing how small the real evil grows
Our soils while they are admirably
calculated TO withstand the worst
: effects OF long continued and terrible
drouths, yet throw of and recover
4 from the worst effects of floods which
8 would utterly ruin almost any other
{ land ON earth. II may be considered
Y that we are unfortunate in being sc
/? situated as to be exposed to evils
r such as those spoken of, but We should
: not forget or underestimate the at
a vantages which flow from tho quail
y ties of our climate and soil which
I enable us to escape from the wors'
r consequences of disasters of Thu
d kind, when they do come against us.
d Notwithstanding the late terrible
y floods in central Texas we will y"
s make an abundant crop of grain ant
