Enrly american Mirrors.

Strange to say, the ancient Mexicans
or Aztecs had mirrors of utztli, the OBJ
sidian of the Romans, mineral abun-
dant in their hills, and termed by the
Spaniards gallinazo. Other mirrors Of
America in the days gone by were of the
SO called Incas' stone, compact pyrites
or marcasite, brittle, Opaque and rather
blush, and susceptible of fine polish;
and if we are to believe De la Vega the
Indians had mirrors of silver, copper
and brass. --WolnanIs journal.

STANLEY AS LECTURER.

Stanley is under contract to deliver
fifty lectures in this country next season,
for which he is to get $1,000 each, SO
London dispatch says. 1t hardly seems
possible or credible. The idea of giving
a man $1,000 for talking an hour and
half in public about the cannibals and
the hard time he had in keeping them
from eating himself and his entire party
alive, is too preposterous to think about.
Yet the people of this country are very
much given to doing just such ex-
travagant and outlandish things as
that. There is not particle
of sense in giving 81 or So
to hear Stanley talk-for he is no lee
turer-while one can buy cheaply SO
many books, including Stanley IS own, on
travels in Africa from which thousand
times more solid satisfaction and infor-
nation can be got than from fragmsn-
tary talk about isolated features and in
cidents of particular journey. Stanley
is a man of rare courage aud intrepidity.
He is no sage, no philosopher, no demi-
god, although Europeans lionize him as
though he were. He is now adulated and
worshipped because that is the reigning
fad, and it is fashionable to do SO. Hon
oring man is one thing, but lionizing
him in the English fashion is quite an
other. Then, too, it don't cost much,
and that is an important item with john
nv Bull. He will almost suffocste his
guest with the smoke of social incense,
and surfeit him with taffy, but he won t
go down in his wallet and plank out
$1,000 night for the privilege of hearing
him talk about the treaohery OF Tippoo
lib, the savagery of Mwanga, OF the
charming landscape around Zag-a-Zig.
Not much. The thrifty lecturer must
come for that to the United States,
where a warm welcome awaits every for
eign fake and impudent impostor. and

PERHAPS Goodwin Smith is not so far
wrong after all, in saying that there still
exists in the hearts of Americans oonsid-
cradle hatred for England. The lega
complaint fled by stakeholder protest.
ing that the sale to an English syndicate
of the Chicago stockyards was made for
the purpose, on the part of those making
the sale, of wrecking the concern under
the new management, and repurchasing
the property at nominal figure, seems
to bear out the statements of the Cana
dian. Hatred is bad enough, but to coin
it in that wise into huge fortunes by
cheating the English out of their eyes, is
cause enough for another review article
from Mr.. Smith.

CHARGED WITH BLACRMALLLNG.
Elsewhere in this issue of THE GAZETTE
is republished from the Houston Post an
article charging Attorney General Hogg
with an attempt to blackmail the Capitol
Syndicate.
Whatever else Jas. S. Hogg may or
may not be, he is an honest man. I'm
der any circumstances, and at any
time, no man in this state would yield
the slightest credence to this tale told
from Chicago; but, sprung upon the
public at this juncture IN the state can
vass, it will be impressed upon the dull
est comprehension ss plain, unmistak-
able attempt of foreign corporations to
interfere in the political affairs of this
state, and for this cause it is most unfor-
tunate. Not many months ago this
same Capitol Syndicate was denounced
by Texas newspaper as political en-
CINE, and THE GAZETTE resented the
charge as untrue, as unworthy Of
a Texas journal, and as ungen-
erous to those whose money
fought investment in this state. But
what defense can THE GAZETTE or
any newspaper make for this transpar-
ent attempt to influence the people in
their political action? If Mr.. Hogg
had been n blackmailer it would have
been the duty of those he attempted to
OF
He has never SO endeared himself to cor
porat1ops that they should show him
mercy, and in the interest of justice and
of official purity this alleged exposure
should have been made at the time.
Every consideration demanded this
prompt action on the part of men who
come at this late day to denounce and
destroy, when the state canvass in Texas
has developed the fact that only drastic
means afford hope of Mr.. Hogg's defeat.
This interference with the Texas can
vass by outsiders is most unfortunate
Prejudice against foreign corporations
will be engendered and intensified; pas
siouate resentment will splaoe argu-
ment, and the future will bring forth the
fruit the seed of which has been sown in
Chicago, and for whatever of future evil
NAV grow out of it those only who have
brought this charge at this time will be
responsible.
The political effect of this unfortunate
Interference will speedily be seen. Al
ready the people of Texas are chatting
under the argument that their political
opinions must bend to suit the wishes of
Northern and Eastern people-slready
the angry mutterings of political
storm have been heard-already the for
elen influence has pressed the limit of q
proud people g patienoe-and now comes
| this attempt, so plain, TO in
terfere, and in manner intended
to blacken and blast the character and
reputation OF a man known to be honest.
The people of Texas will answer thi:
charge, ana that answer will be as un-
! mistakable as was the purpose Of those
who made it at this time. II is inmate.
