"Being fully imbued with the knowl-

General Butler, "when they are either
frightened with their souls or their

source OF so much wonder as
1t might otherwise have been how

Chicago. Years hence, when YOU and I
have passed away, the cases OF Gilds
COREY and the witches and the case Of

minded men more than they are now
hope there may one fact follow in the
anarchists cases that followed In the
witches cases: Judge Sewell, a rev.
erend clergyman and one of the judges Of
Wlctnes, before he died learned how
greatly he had sinned against God, and
ne repented In sack cloth and ashes,
literally coming out in thel face OF as
congregation and standing in the broad
aisle OF the church exclaiming, while his
written confession Of his sins and folly In
the witches cases was being read:
Alas, God have mercy on me
Tor what have done.'"
General Butler says he "iears that NO one
OF the JUDGES in the anarchists case,
though having the incredible folly Of
Judge Sewell, will have his plety IN pub
ltcly appealing to God for mercy" The
letter concludes: zone further fact, which

witchcraft craze brought it to an end.

Counties of Texas.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
MOBEETIE, TEX, March 16.-The fol-
lowing address has just been issued by
the executive committee Of the Panhan-
die Immigration Association:
"AI the Panhandle immigration meeting
held at Canadian, February 90 and %,
1883, sn executive committee was crea ed
to Consist OF the president and secretary
OF the association andione member for
each county where q local organization
for immigration purposes exists, and il
was made the duty of said committee TO
levy an assessment upon esch county for
the purpose Of raising funds with which
to advertise our section, and to take such
steps as they might think best to carry
out plan for the settlement Of our
country.
In view Of the above, the executive
committee earnestly urge the various
counties to perfect their organization st
once, and to signify to the secretary Of
this association at the very earliest posi-
bic moment whether or not they desire to
cooperate with this committee and at
once place themselves in correspondence
with the secretary Of this committee CD
the subject.
It will take some time to get our organ
ization in working order, and to US in
the Panhandle, in this matter, time is
precious. Excursion trains are being
run on both railroads twice each month
and our intention is, II sustained by the
people, TO endeavor to divert large pro-
portion of this immigration that comes to
Texas to the Panhandle during the spring
and summer months.
Our local press have so far been very
Ecsive in disseminating information con-
corning our section, and the committee
desire to commend them to the public as
being the best medium through which
they can advertise this section OF the
country, and trust that individuals and
local organizations will give them that
support they so richly deserve In this
matter.
By order Of the committee.
o. 81. NELSON, Secretary.
Approved.

The Rev. Philip Lsngdon, who recently

opinion that the ides that the Chinese
anticipated western nations In many in.

no doubt correct.
"The Chinese" said the Rev. Mr..
Langdop, during recent conversation,
"are very inventive people, and several
centuries ago they were still more so. In
the distant and comparatively UNEMPLOYED
province OF Yun-Nan I constantly found
all manner of things which it has always
been supposed were the inventions of
Europeans or their descendants"
"Can you give striking instance, Mr..
Langdon?"
"With pleasure. In Teng- Chuen, one

Jim Scarlet Admitted to Bail in the Sam OF
Three Thousand Dollars.
Special to the GaZstte.
BoNHAM, TIN, March l7.-Contrary TO ex-
pectations of every one the sensational murder
trial Of Jim Scarlet commenced yesterday
ended by Scarlet being admitte1 to bail In the
sum of 5000. Not one half the witnesses were
examined as the evidence was conclusive that
the man was living for whom
Scarlet was standing trial OF numbering.
The story all the way through seemed strange
and Is unpsrau led In the annals of the Fannin
county courts. But for technicality In the
verdict rendered five months ago Scarlet won d
have paid the death penalty, while the muir
dered man would have been slive and we'll.
Lacefi Id, who was c,aimed to have been killed
by Scarlet, but who tells an extraordinary story
of escape from the river where be was
thrown, is still In town. While
his strange statement bears
many Sensational features yet sup oTted as Is
is By evidence Of IT liable WITH esses II believ
ed by everyone. Scarlet, who was rejoicing
over the short respite from hanging granted by
the last District court, can tcsrcely realize his
good fortune. The strongest case that can pos-
sibly be ma against him Is ate npied murder,
possibly rot more than assault with punish
ment or not over three years in the peniten
