1t is astonishing, notwlthstand-
the frequency of earthquakes, that
so little is known concerning them.
They have been studied and in,
vcstigatod by seismologists, and
yet the only answer they can give
as to their cause is that they owe
their origin to o vibratarY motion
like sound, Pfopagatci through
the solid materials of the earth,
and that some connection, As vet
@ N. II? IN, exists between them and
volcanoes. Tho manp2Y OF their
spread, OF the waves and undula-
tions from 4 centre, the ratio of
speed of the earthquake and It's
vertical and horizontal movements
are understood YET, although there
have been 1000 earthquakes chron-
Icled in tho last two centuries
and S64 in the United States alone
during the last twelve years, we
know little of their cause, little of
how to forctcII them.-N. o..

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 81
There are number OF curious old
laws still in existence in Missouri,
one of which in particular will give
the Prohibitionists pam. In the
early part of the Mexican war,
AbsoIcm Hughes OF Galloway coun-
ty, was wounded by a cannon ball
at the battle of Sacramento. He
was struck below tho knees and
had both legs broken. The gener-
al assembly, which convened in
lS49, passed special law granting
him tho privilege of keeping a
dram-shop at Cedar City, Galloway
county, during his life, without be-
ing subject to any license. This
was passed as a recognition of his
service. MIR. Hughes at once open
cd q saloon, and has never yet
closed it. he is now an old man, but
not as badly crippled as one might
expect, considering the terrible
wound nc received. The Downing
law does not interfere with mis-
special privilege. Although he
has been running a saloon in Cedar
City for over thirty-seven years,
few people outside of his neIghbor-
hood know that he IS exempt
from paying license.

Tho Brazos Valley HALLWAY.

! AT 4 meeting of the board OF d.
rcctors held on the 18th inst. Muir
ray Harris, chief engineer, submit
ted his report together with his
maps, plans and estimates for the
road from Brcnham to Cause Oh
the international, He pronounccs
the line to be splendid and feast
bic one. This route is known as
the ridge route.
Mr.. Hcbor Stone was appointed
right-of.way agent with full power
and authority to procure right-ot-
way over the entire line. In few
DAYS Mr.. Stone will enter upon the
discharge of his important duty.
In this connection we desire TO say
to the people living or owning
plantations in the Brazor bottom
proper that the Brennan an
Brazos Valley railway company Is
corporation OF limited means;
that their intention is TO build to
connection with the International
railway and that they will be com
pcllcd TO adopt the cheapest and
shortest line unless those most di-
rectly interested IN the bottom
lands can como to their assistance,
in which case 1t is more than like
ly they could be induced to change
their line.
The proposed road Is essentially
a Brennan enterprise, it is ono OF
tho greatest Importance to our
town. 1t means that our cotton
receipts will be doubled; it means
that in the matter offreights Bren-
ham will be on full equality with |
any competing point IN Texas it
means that Brcnham cotton buyers
will be enabled to pay Houston
prices for cotton; it means that
Brennan will be able to get goods
hero at rs low rates as Houston,
and that Brenham merchants can
sell goods wholesale or retail as
cheap as any city in the state; it
that Brennan will become a
frst-class interior city and that by
proper excrtion she can be made Il
frst-class manufacturing and dis
tributing point.

LOUIsINA sugar-planters raise
$50, 100000 pounds of saccharino
matter a year, and throw away
nearly ono-half A sugar-mill pro-
vided with the best modern appli-
ances will extract 100 pounds of
sugar from 4 ton of cane but there
is only one such mill in that State;
nearly all the others are old-fash-
Toned, clumsy and wasteful contri-
vanccs, which leave about one-half
the saccharInc matter in the refuse
cane, TO burned up IN the furnace,
or cast into the river. And yet the
statistics of the worlds production
of sugar show that there is q steady
and large annual increase, which
fact keeps the price down, notwith-
standing an increased consump-
ton.

Nearly every town In Texas ba

Nearly every town IN Texas has
crowed over the receipt of the
first bale of cotton for the season
of 1886, but not Il single town has
yet claimed the honor of receiving
the first bale of cotton picked by 2
cotton harvester. W. are patient
ly watching for some town to raise
its head on high and scream itself
hoarse over tho first bale gathered
by a cotton harvester. During
the winter We know that at least
halt y dozen inventors stood ready
to convince the cotton rGisorG that
Sambo's services werc no longer
needed for saving the feccy staple.
Certainly these companies and In
ventors are not going to remain

somo halfdoEen men who eagerly

that human gold thoroughly shak-

is not, in the strict construction of
the word, q widow, but she will be

reason why a feasible route cannot

INDIAN LANDS IN sEvERALITY.

1t is pronounced policy OF this
administration to encourage in
every possible way the more ad-
vanccd Indians to take lands in
severaIity, and special agents OF
the Indian bureau, Gen. G. Walker
and MIR. James X. Howard, lett last
evening for the Crow reservation
IN Montana for the purpose of car
rying ont there very general plan
OF division IN scvcralIty. Some OF
the Grow lands have already been
passed over to individual Indians
for separate ownership, and there
is general demand among the In
dams on that reservation for diviS-
ion In scvcrality. There are $500
Indians altogether on the rcscrva-
ton, which aggregates 3,Tl3,000
acres. At 4 number Of other agcn-
cies the Indians are also in 4 condi-
ton favorably inclined to the di-
vision of their lands, and the Indian
bureau is making strong efforts to
encourage this feeling wherever 1t
exists. Gen. A. B. Upshaw, assis-
tant commissioner, mailed 4 letter
to-day to the agent of the Grow
Creek reservation in Dakota, di-
recting HIM to make every en-
deavor to induce the Indians OF
that agency to adopt individual
ownership of the lands. Similar
letter have been sent to all of the
agencies where the situation is fav-
orablc. These letters tell the
agents to foster among the Indians
the desire for individual owner
ship by informing them that their
permanent occupation of the lands
they now hold can be secured only
by taking up IN sovorality and
making improvements. Gen. Up
shaw says tho Indians themselves
arc awakening 10 this fact and re-
quests como in constantly for the
Indian office to give them paper
titles" TO their lands.
