part OF the state as yet. The encamp-

We had almost concluded to write no
more about rainfalls in Texas Because
what we have already written has been
carelessly read and falsely quoted by so
many. We would like TO know what
benefit anyone derives from falsely quot
ing what we may have written. We have
never written when the rain would fall,
or the day 1t would fall, or the quantity.
We say the probabilities are that there
win be a series Of local Iainfalls Ia Texas
about July 81, Please bear in mind that
we use the word about. Whenever
these rainfalls commence, you will
notice they travel eastward, with strong
tendency to 90 around the dry places.
We foretold correctly the rains OF June
4, June 10, June % and July .. Great
heat comes before rain In Texas, and
cooler weather afterwards. We have got
the heat at this writing. During ihis
day Saturday number OF citizens have
called upon us and requested MS to con

AMERICAN BRIDES.
uT Fair CountrywOmen Who Are Married
co Titl.d European


From the Philadelphia Times.
Europeah and American weddings differ
in every respect. The essential point ia
all countries "de fare I'm bon parti," and
perhaps France insists upon this more
than any other nation, There, position
comes first; money second. Mental quail
titles, etc, are often not considered at all.
So much red tape has to be meas
ured before marriage can be
concluded in France, or even in
any other European country. 1t is
surprising that American girls do not de-
eide that "le jeu men vaut pas la chan
dele" Those who discover too late the
truth Of the proberb do not warn their
compatriots, tor each year adds to the
list Of American girls who marry Euro
peans of more or less distinction.
Philadelphia and New York have fur
nished goodly number OF wives to titled
Europeans. The Marchioness de Ganay

delphia,

Army Transportation Expenses.

The annual report of the quartermaster
general shows that $3,0SO 5T9.1G was ex-
pended for the transportation service of
the army during the year.
II the government would place the Wild
and semi.civlli2cd Indians on proper reser-
vations and keep them there 1t could save
a large amount annually.
II all the southwestern tribes were settled
on the Uintah reservation In Utah, the
northeastern gathered to the Yakima reser-
walton in Washington territory, the north
ern central tribes put into the White reserve,
and the fierce Dakotas and relatives brought
down and placed on the broad plains in
the Indian territory, east OF Cash creek, and
kept there, large chunk of the Lo question
would be settled.
The government would then have the bad
Indians punched within the limits OF easy
transportation; and as transportation is the
large general item of army expenses, the
proposition is worthy Of consideration. A
treaty or so would have to be broken, but
the poor Indian is SO used to that kind of
treatment that he would feel lonesome
without 1t, and, besides, 1t would be for his
own good.

The Indiana Legislature.

The contest for the senatorship In In.
diana promises to be q repetition OF that
held in Illinois which resulted In the cleo
the returns, and without any contests, the
legislature is tie.
On Monday last reporter Of the Star, Of
this city, interviewed ex Senator Mcdonald,
OF Indiana, who said:
~ cannot tell you" he said, "much about
Indiana that has not been in the papersalready.
There is no question about the Democrats hay.
II a majority oftwo in the legislature, but
would not pronounce 1t safe until the whole
matter is settled"
The ex-senator, like all good lawyers,
did not give anything favorable upon the
other side, but would leave the reader to
infer that the Democracy really had q ma
jority OF two in the legislature on joint ballot,
but neglected to say anything about the
case Of Mr.. Meagher, a member-elect, but
Ineligible, from Vego county, which will
leave the legislature tie. The Indian
apolis Ncirs independently, Of the 18th in
stnnt, has the following In reference to
that case, which may have escaped the
notice of the ex-senator:
The ineligibllity of Justice of the Peace
Meagher, of Terro Hautc to seat in the legisla-
turc is res adiudicata. one of the last decisions
fthc supreme court of Indiana, rendered in
September last, and just published covers
Meagher's case all over. The opinion is by
Judge collars, and Is concurre1 in by the
whole court. 1t is the case of Vogel vs. the
state cX rel. Land, prosecuting attorney, and
is printed in the October number of the North
eastern Reporter, p. l6i. 1t holds expressly
that justice OF the peace Is ineligible to any
other Office, not judicial, during the term for
which he was elected. 1t is a most interesting
case, and the facts are peculiar II holds:
appellant and M were opposing candidates
for he Office of township trustee. M held a
commission as justice of the peace for term
of'four years from April II, 1882. The term oil
trustee began April 10, 1886. Held: That M. s
term as justice OF the peace did not expire until
midnight of April l6, 1856; that he was there
fore ineligible, and appellant having received
then highest number of votes, was entitled
to the Office"
With the two parties a tie, with severa
labor members with different political an
tecedents, the result is extremely doubtful

Butterflies Seeking Eastern Homes.

IIHMIIIu IUu CIuTIDH,I
II is said that in the spring the butterflies
all go from east to west. We are not SO
sure about that, but 1t is certain that at this
season, "when the leaves begin to fall"
may be seen every sunny day curious fact
of natural history. The full.gro butter
flies are all flying eastward. Now and then
a small one will play and feed about in
different directions, but they, too, are
steadily drifting invariably toward the
cast. Occasionally large one will halt a
moment or two and then pass along In that
space Of one hundred yards or more imme-
diately in front Of us, and counted the
migrating pilgrims passing before us, aver
aging one TO every minute. Myriads may
be seen in the open piney woods.
