During the campaign nearly every
town in the capital race have had
representatives in .Jerauld county.
They all say that the contest for capt.
tai honors lay between their city and
Pierre. Pierre being acknowledged
by each as second inthe race, it looks
as though the location at that
place is fixed beyond doubt. Al
though Pierre has had no representa-
tives in thecounty yet;still the county
will be almost solid for Pierre: Our
authority for this was taken from a
conversation we had recently with IL
Huron button holer.

An English cto.us.

The richest man, probably, in the
British House OF Commons, is Mr..
Isaac Holden, member for the Keigh-
ley Division Of Yorkshire: He was
born at Paisley, and was for SOME time
an ill-paid schooltnaster. While
teaching his pupils chemistry. he dis
covered the principe on which lucifer
matches are made. But out of this
great invention Mr.. Holden made no
money. Later on he began to devote
his mind to the study of machinery for
the carding of wool, and machine
was invented which revolutionlzed the
whole system of wool-carding, and in
that revolutionized the whole manu-
featuring history of England and tho
world. Possessed of tho patent rights
in these valuable machines, fortune
poured In upon Mr.. Holden. He has
mills not only in Yorkshire but also in
several parts of France. The average
sum he receives every year probably is
something like $1.O00,O00. Like most
millionaires, the habits of Mr.. Holden
are as simple as those OF clerk. -

Turning the Allegheny River.

John McLaren, Pittsburg lawyer,
has suggested novel scheme to the
authorities of Pittsburg and Allegheny
City. He wants to turn the Allegheny
River from it's proper channel. The
river separates the two cities. MIR.
McLaren's plan is to have the Allie
ghany leave its proper course at
Sharpeburg, north of Allegheny City,
wend its way through the valleys back
of Allegheny, id join the Ohio River
at Jacks Run, Biologists are credited
with saying that this was the original
curse of the river. The change
would make tract Of land about a
mile wide and seven miles long,
through which the streets of Pittsburg
and Allegheny could be made to con-
meet. Twenty years ago civil en-
gineer suggested this idea and made
plans for carrying it out, with the pro-
viso that he was to receive portion
of the new-made land.

Photographing Rifle Balls.

The interesting process Of photo
graphing rifle bullets in motion, by
means of the electric light presents
remarkable phenomena, judging from
the experiments made by Mach, the
Austrian chemist. In this operation
his plan is to illumine the bullet by
letting it break an electric current
formed, but the velocity ofthe bullet
must exceed that of sound, in order
that the conditions OF the air before
ard behind the projectile can be
shown. After various experiments he
succeeded in his efforts to photograph
projectiles fired by Wernai and Jurde
guns, having respectively an initial
velocity of 438 and $50 meters per Sec
ond. The photographs obtained in
this manner showed an air formation
in front of the bullet, having the form
OF hyperbole, while behind it almost
q vacuum was formed, in which, when
the initial velocity was very great.
there were some curious spiral mo-
tions. From the description given,
there appeared from these photographs
to be great similarity between the
motion of body through the water
and that Of a projectile through the
air.

difference Between Wool and Hair.


Although there is very great diff
ference betweeen wool and hair, it is
found quite difficult to explain what
that difference is-the one sometimes
seems to run almost imperceptibly
into the other: A correspondent of
the St. Louis Gtobc-Demo, at furnishes
the following very interesting para
graph on this subject: The difference
between wool and hair is not so great
as might be supposed, since very fine
hair bears a strong resemblance to
very coarse wool; but when the micro
scope is brought into operation a
marked difference may be observed.
The surface OF the hair will appear to
be perfectly smooth, as though it were
polished, while the surface of q fiber
Of wool is imbricated as though the
trunk were covered with infinitely
small scales. A hair is therefore seen
to be an entirely different thing from
fiber of wool; and a further variation
is noticed in the fact that hair never
curls in the way wool does, for hair
when it curls at all-curls in long,
wavy lines, and the wool in short hall
circles which almost return into them
selves. The texture of wool is also
varied by fine lines, from 5000 to
1000 in the inch; SO, by means Of the
microscope, wool may be easily known
from cotton or any other animal or
vegetable fiber,

WE call special attention to the able
letter of Judge Terrell, published in this
mornings STATESMAN in reply to a con-
stitutional argument of Ex-Governor
Roberts, on the powers of the legislature.
The letter bristles with sound logic and
incontrovertable facts. There is no prin;
ciple of constitutional law more firmly es-
tablished in this state than the one which
clothes the Legislature with the power to
enact any law that is not expressly pro-
hibited by the Constitution. We commend
Judge Terrells letter to the thoughtful
attention of our readers.

THE SAENGERFEsT AND SAN JACINTO
DAY

San Jacinto day will this year be cele,
brated in Austin on scale never before
known, and in a manner than which none
could be more BETTING.
We allude to the seventeenth Texas
Saengerfest, which has selected this city
and this date for the gathering of it's clans
from all parts of the state.
Austin has had her dedication drill
and ball, Galveston proposes to celebrate
her semi-centennial in May. The drill
has established Austin's equation for
liberality and grit She must not tarnish
it by neglecting the saengerfest. The
Austin Musical Union is already rehears-
ing the parts it will take in this CONGO urse
of harmony. The choruses of Galveston,
San Antonio and Brennan will join the
Musical Union in assisting in the saengeS-
fest. Our citizens will remember the
magnificent New Orleans orchestra
brought here ten years ago by
the saengerfest, the imposing Roman
triumpAAl arch erected on Congress ave-
nue., the grand torchlight procession and
fireworks.
The main features of the coming cele-
bration have already been blocked out by
the executive committee, who are now dill
igently working out the details. The he
roes of San Jacinto at the close of that
evsntful day doubtless celebrated the
downfall of Santa Annals host with wild
Texas yell and a hip, hip, hip, hurrah!
Their descendants of the pres mt day have
not lost their spirit, nor forgotten that
memorable occasion, and will give vent
with their more cultured voices to peans
of Joy and triumph in commemoration of
Texas independence.
