Coroner Meredith held en- inquest yes
terday afternoon upon the body of J. M
Priestly, man about so years of age
who was found dead in his cabin neal
the corner of Chavez and Water streets
in East Los Angeles, yesterday morning
From the testimony adduced it was
learned thai Priestly had occupied this
cabin, a wretched hovel about IL by G
feet, which had evidently been built by
his own hands, for the past eleven
months, during which time he had no,
made many friends among the neighbors.
He had for the past few weeks been on a
protracted spree, and as nothing had
been seen of him around the cabin fol-
several days by his neighbors, one OF
them was moved by curiosity to see
whether the eccentric individual had
abandoned his residence or not. Ac.
cordingly yesterday morning he forced
open the door of the hovel, and on enter
ing found Prisstly stretched upon q
wretched apology for bed, apparently
asleep. The visitor WAS about to with
draw, but concluded to awaken the
old man and inquire as to his health
Advancing to Priestly's bedside, the
visitor was Mortified to discover that the
old man was dead. He notified the
Coroner, who soon afterwards caused the
removal of the body to the morgue. q
postmortem examination was made by
Drs. MCGOWAN and Mccarthy, but no
external marks of violence were found,
and the physicians state that in their
opinion the man died from natural
causes three or four days ago; and the
jury, on hearing the facts in the case, re.
turned a verdict to that effect. The
body will be buried at the expense Of
the county.

Assured, w h9n a FOOr Dung Law YER
He Would Become a Millionaire.
From the Philadelphia Press.
FINDLAY, O., Jan. 19.-As Senator Cal
vim S. Brice is now a national character,
stories regarding his early life, when he was
q poor, briefess lawyer, struggling for an
existence in Lima, are of interest. The fol-
lowing is related by a gentleman of this
city who was schoolmate of Senator
Brice:
At party given at the residence of Judge
Hughes, in Lima, which was attended by
Mr. Brice, a young lady amused the com
pany by telling their fortunes, which she
did ty pretending to read the lines in the
hand. When it came Mr.. Brice's turn to
see what the future had in store for him,
toe fair asUrologist said:
Mr.. Brice, before you are ten years
older you will be q millionaire"
The prediction was accepted in the spirit
IN which made-that of a pleasant jest-but
MIR. Brice replied: ''If what you predict
comes true, I viii buy you the finest dia-
mond ring | can procure with l,OOQ.
Laughing the lady answered: "Be sure
you don't forget your promise" and the
matter was dropped without any further
thought
In less than eight years from that time
Mr.. Brice was, indeed, millionaire, bu7 he
did not forget the lady who had so cleverly
predicted his future. He bought in New
fork a superb diamond ring for the fair
ortune-teller, which she shows with pride
as she relates how she came by it.

The Water Mt BrazOs.

Twice recently the unusually high
tides on the Texas coast have put enough
water on Galveston 8 bar to admit of the
passage of chips drawing respectively
fifteen feet one inch, and fifteen feet
two inches. which are the deepest draft
ships that ever entered that port.
The depth at low tide there is thir-
teen and one-half feet and at
usual high tide between fourteen and
fourteen and half feet. As our read
ers can see, this is considerably less than
the depth at the mouth of the BraZos,
where formerly existed bar over which
the government engineers said no
amount of money expended could re-
suit in putting enough water to float q
ship drawing twelve feet. For some
time past there was over twelve feet
depth at the BraZos, which has recently
increased to twenty-five feet between
the jetties and fourteen feet beyond
them, and ~ steadily increasing every
day. Every once in q while some
one gets up and opposes deep
water at the mouth of the BraZos. OF
course such fellows are IN sympathy with
Galveston, or perhaps while not in SYM
patty are mortgaged head over heels to
the shylocks on the island. 1t will not
be long until such people Will see the
error of their ways. Galveston has
made failure after failure to get deep
water for the past twelve years, and 1t
is high time that the Brazos, Sabine and
Aransas Passes have some sort of a show.
Texas needs, and must have, a seaport,
and these cranks who think that the sun,
moon and stars rise and set on Galveston
island must draw in their horns.

THE DEVIL CITING SCRIPTURE.

THE DEVIL CITING SCRIPTURE.
THE citation of scriptural texts to defend
and justify wife beating is something new
under the sun, and will strike the aver
age mortal as rather cool proceeding.
The wife-beater is, by common consent,
classed among the meanest of men. be
is really brute, It is impossible for
man to get any lower than that unless he
should stand on his head in the bottom Of
the bottomless pit. Fridays GAZETTE
contained a short chapter about O certain
wife beater who urged in legal doou-
ment as a defense to suit for divorce for
coarse and brutal treatment of his wife,
the Scriptural right aud duty of hus-
band to chastise his wife when found der
elicit in duty or otherwise offending
against the majesty of her lord and mas
out - quotes the pious and cody wife
beater. OF course it must follow from
this that If thy wife offend thee thou
mayest also pluck her out or kick her out
or in some other equally summary man
ner bring her under subsection. There
is something so breezy in this manner Of
defense, something SO oharminglh cool
and refreshing, that 1t completely
disarms one of the natural indig-
nation and disgust felt for the
brute that fogs : his wife. There
is something about it so childlike ana
bland, so pathetic and moving,
that it would put the devil himself
to shame, when citing Scripture for his
purposes. The argument will not avail
in a law court where the Mosaic code is
not valid, but it will serve to produce
certain degree of admiration for the in =
genuity and courage of the man who
could so complacently assert and attempt
to prove his divine right to discipline the
wife of his bosom. There is future in
| store for him.

CONGRESSMAN WALKER of Massachu-
setts, vociferating his objections against
silver legislation in the house Friday,
declared with oracular emphasis that
"more money meant more misery. -
That may be true to a certain extent.
especially of the multi-millionaires of the
East who have already more money than
they can well manage, but as there is
bound to be good deal of misery IN the
world anyway, the people of the West
prefer to take as much as possible of 1t
in the pecuniary form, and thus vary
the dull aud monotonous programme
which they have followed for years. If
they can stand it, Mr.. Walk er certainly
ought not to object.

Fort worth's pluck is worthy of suo-
cess. She has the stronges: opposition
of any city in the state TO contend
against. Dallas is only thirty miles
away and all the country knows that
Dallas is rival of no mean proportions.
The energy and determination, how
ever, of Fort Worth 3 people knows no
abatement and they know no such word
as encouragement lit is unknown to
their vocabulary. The Spring Palace
is monument to their energy and lib
erality. 1t is a success that needs no
encomIum. One after another grand
ente prise is conceived and carried
through to triumphant completion, until
we stand, look on and wonder what will
come next. We can but admire the pro-
gressive spirit, the energy, the pluck
and liberality of the people of Fort

HALL, Cook and Wheeler continue to
address the people, and the people con-
tinue to instruct their delegates to vote
for Hogg for governor. But the most
unaccountable feature OF the canvass is
the fact that nearly every county of
Northwest Texas so far has instructed
for Hogg. During the Hogg- Hall dis
cussion it was claimed that the people OF
the panhandle were highly incensed
at Hogg, and MIR. Halls announcement
of candidacy was addressed especially to
Northwest Texas. yet SO far as they have
instructed ct all the northwest counties
have declared for Hogg. THE GAZETTE
alludes to this as unaceountable, because
both Mr.. Rogg and his views were said
TO be distasteful to the northwest.
