Man, Horse and Ring,

The fixed dimensions of the arena comply
with two fold exigence-the requirements
of the man and the habits of the animal.
Both are inveterate wanderers from town TO
town. Wherever they go they carry with
them an absolute identity of movement
which secures for an exercise its mathemati-
cal and mechanical precision. Neither the
horse, nor probably his riders, know centri-
petal and centrifugal forces, even by name;
but practice enables them to measure those
forces accurately and to keep them IN exact
equilibrium with their speed.
In circuses of invariable dimensions the
artists, biped and quadruped, are every
where at home. On the same identical ex-
tent of sand or sawdust, a false movement is
never made by experienced performers. The
horse knows his business and fulflls it with
out hesitation; he is not put out by having to
act his part under unaccustomed conditions.
And he is proud of having acted it WELL
There are horses who take all the applause
for themselves and want to treat the public
to an encore before it is asked for. The
rider may urge them to make their exit; they
will strive to linger before their admirers !.

FIFTIHrH CONGRESS.
HOUSE..


WASHINGTON, March 9.-The house pro-
ceeded to the further consideration of the
omnibus war claims bill, coming over from
last Friday. The amendment agreed to
in committee of the whole, after pro-
tracted debate, appropriatipg $4,000 for
the relief of the Protestant Episcopal
Theological Seminary and High school
of Virginia, was again sub
ject of discussion, being earn
estly opposed by Messrs. j. d. Taylor,
and X, nedy, of Ohio, who took the ground
that the claim was not included in the
provisions of the Bowman act, and by Mr..
Grosvenor, of Ohio, who protested against
the payment of the claim when it was not
shown that the claimants were loyal, and
who declared that congress might as we'll
pass a bill paying for the occupation of the
hotel where Ellsworth fell, and for dam
ages caused by the blood of Ellsworth
rickling down the walls of the building.
Messrs. Lee and Terrell, of Virginia,
supported the amendment, declaring that
the Theological seminary had been located
in loyal territory, which had been SO rec
ognized by congress. The proposition
was lain down that the loyalty or disloyalty
of the trustees had no bearing upon the
justice of the claim.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, said that the naked
proposition of the amendment was to
pay $4,000 to a corporation on
account of the fact that it
was deprived of the use of its buildings
by the operation of war. If the pre-
cedents contained in the amendment were
set congress mioht have to pay rent for
the fields used in actual combat. The
amendment was passed-yeas, 105; nays,
100.
The remairder of the day was con-
sumed in the consideration of few pri-
vate bills.
The house at O'Clock took recess until
1880, the evening session to be for the
consideration of pension bills.

The treatment of many thousands of cases
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar to females, ut the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y,
has afforded vast experience in nicely
adapting and thoroughly testing remedies
for the cure of woman's peculiar malades.
DIR. Pierce's FaVOrite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands of
testimonials, received from patients and
from physicians who have tested it in the
more aggravated and obstinate cases which
had batfled their skill, prove it to be the
most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. 1t
is not recommended as " cure-all," but
as a. most perfect Specific for woman's
peculiar ailments.

What is this Disease that is Coming
Upon Us.
Upon Us.

Like thief at night it steals upon
US unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull and sleepy;
the mouth has bad taste, especially in
the morning. A sort of sticky slime col.
lects about the teeth. The appetite is
door. There is a feeling like heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes a faint,
all gone sensation at the pit of the stom-
ach which food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken. the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy. After awhile
cough sets in, at first dry, but after few
months it is attended with a greenish
colored expectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep does not
seem to affordany rest. After time he
becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There is
giddiness, sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costive; the skin is dry
and hot at times; the blood becomes thick
and stagnant; the whites of the eyes be-
come tinged with yellow; the urine is
scanty and high colored, depositing
sediment after standing. There is fire.
quently splitting up of the food, some
times with sour taste and sometimes
with sweetish taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the heart; the
vision becomes impaired, with spots be-
fore the eyes; there is feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All of these
symptoms are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third of our
population has this disease in some of its
varied forms.
1t has been found that physicians have
mistaken the cause of this disease. Some
have treated it for liver complaint, others
for kidney disease, etc, ETC., but none of
these kinds of treatment have been at
tended with success; for it is really con-
stipation and dyspepsia. 1t is also found
that Shaker Extract of Roots, or Mother
Seigels Curative Syrup, when properly
prepared, will remove this disease in all
its stages. Care must be taken, however
to secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER TEAM COTTON.
Mr.. John G. Hempins tall, of Chula
frmee, Cleburn Co., Ala, writes; "My
wife has been so much benefited by Shaker
Extract of Roots or Seigel's Syrup that

of her food than without the medicine. 1t

A MAN OF GENIUS.

United States detectives have been look
ing for an accomplished gentleman and
adept thief named William Rains, who
formerly figured as a very pious, good
man here in Austin. He was jack of all
trades, and, as shown up in the dispatches
this morning, will prove a refreshing
study to those who have large stock of
confidence in human nature. 1t turns out
Rains, alias Colby, alias Raymond, was at
once preacher, a gambler, spiritual
medium and successful train robber.
Sixteen years ago he robbed mail car
near this city of $4,000. Next we hear
of him exhorting sinners to repent and
conducting a rousiug camp meeting at
Hearne, where the pious parson found
time to rob an express train of $4,000
while the trainmen were in the church
praying. Rains, who is evidently versa
tile genius, was in San Francisco yester-
day, and thither the detectives went TO
arrest him

MIR. GLASSUOCK'S POSITION.

An error crept into the local announce
ment that Mr.. Glasscock would make the
race for state senator regardless of what
the action Of the senatorial convention
might be. What he did state was that, if
the convention nominated Mr.. Giles and
the republicans put no one in the field, he
would then make the race against Mr..
Giles. Should ny other one than
Mr.. Giles be nominated by the
convention he will not run independent.
This is to correct an unintentional mis-,
tatement of Mr.. Glasscock's position.

CARE OF TIE LUNATICs.

The howl that is going up from certain
quarters of the state because lunatics are
being confined in county jails for lack of
room to accommodate them in the state
asylums, was started, we think, by the
faction that was defeated in having a
lunatic asylum established in southwest
Texas. County jails have contained
lunatics long before the faction was de-
feated in the called session of the Twenti-
eth legislature, and yet there was no such
outcry as at present. True, more lunatics
are now quartered in county jails than
ever before, for, most unfortunately, this
dreadful disease is rapidly on the increase
in our state, and the capacity of our two
large asylums has been outgrown.
But at the called session of the Twentieth
this state of affairs was established and
provided for. Large additions were made
to the Terrell asylum, and Improvements
were decided upon for the Austin asylum,
that taken together will furnish accommo-
dations for at least five hundred more pa
tients in these asylums. This will satisfy
the demand for several years to come.
Work has been commenced on both
asylums and they will soon be prepared
to receive the demented unfortunates who
now languish in the county jails. Would
the case have been different than it now
is, had an additional asylum been located
in the southwestern part of the state
by the called session? Not a lick
in all probability would by now have been
struck on that building, and would not the
county jails have contained these lunatics
just as they do now? 1t is unfortunate
that this work of enlargipg the existing
institutions was delayed go long; but we
think it is far better policy thus to enlarge
these two asylums, to concentrate this
class of state work and expense in two
places, than to distribute it over the state
in three or four places and thus greatly
increase the burden of expense. Texas
IS moving along the right line to care for
her unfortunates among the insane, the
deaf and dumb and the blind.

the history of the party in this county, and
it will be strange indeed if they are not
successful with their full and entire ticket.
The ticket placed in the field yesterday
is, in many respects, peculiar one; nor
strength found in the democratic ticket.
A fusion ticket, as it is, it numbers some
saving elements, but, these are handi-
capped by a heavy load of drift timber.
1t does not smack of enthusiasm, it re-
fleets no hope of success. Old Travis
will this year be found firmly entrenched

nable to attack and floating Simon-pure

THE ISSUE JOINED.

The issue has been joined. The demo-
Gratis, three weeks ago, put out their
ticket for county officers, and yesterday
the Experimentation ticket was placed
in the field. The next order of business
is the separating of the sheep from the
goats. The lines must be drawn and the
parties be found arrayed on either side
facing and boldly confronting each other.
To the victors bslong the spoils. This will
be no milk and water campaign. The fight
will be brisk, and, after preliminary
the contest will be waged at
close quarters and to the death. The demo-
Gratis will be organized as never before in
