PRESS COMMENTS.
A Tribute to Gen. Veazey.

One of the most felicitous speeches
made at the G. A. r. banquet Thurs
day night was that of eX-Gov. Ogles-
by of Illinois. Among other things he
said: You have array
ed yourselves in garments of a new
glory, and all of us, $4,000 or $780,
900 of us, will go from here to Maine,
to Florida, to California, to blessed
little old Green Mountain Vermont,
who gave us one Of the best COM
manders-in-chief that we ever had or
ever will have, the modest and refined
and elegant gentleman who has kept
us pretty straight, pretty level, and
done the clean thing all the way
through. 1 envy the reputation of
Wheelock Veazey as he retires. y De

TEXAS MINES AND MINERALS.

Doc Ramsdale, who is cropping on a j.
Stephens farm, near Cottondale, informs
the Aurora Chronicle that he has discov-
cred an outcropping of coal on that place
which he intends TO develope The vein at
the surface is only four inches thick, but
increases as it gets further into the bank.
Mr.. Ramsdale says the coal burns fercely
in the stove, and has promised to bring in
some to try IN the forge.
The total quantity of coal of all grades
mined in Texas during the yesr 1890 was
12S, 2l6 tons, valued at S340, 6l7 at the mines.
Laredo Times: Laredo can justly claim
that her Santo Thomas coal mines have q
larger annual output Of coal than the COM
bined output of all the other coal mines in
Texas.
San Saba News: There are some indica-
tons that parties unknown have been
searching for hidden treasures on Simpson
creek, not far from the residence of Mr..
Colburn. Some two excavations have been
made and considerable dirt has been thrown
out, but it is not known whether the treas
ure was found or not. The work is sup
posed to have been done at night, and is
surrounded with mystery.
LA GRANGE, April 27-There is great in
terest felt here in the discovery of Ignite
in vein about twenty feet thick, some two
miles west of this place. 1t is said to be Of
fine quality and test of its colling quail
ties is to be made soon.
VERNON, May ii. W. Dallas, leading
farmer of Greer county, was in Vernon
yesterday purchasing supplies. In CONVEX
sation with The GAZETTE representative he
says that the gold excitement over there is
increasing and that he has staked a claim
with several others near Nayajoe. He says
not long since a Greer county man was
returning from the Territory with sack
of gold and silver ''float'' he had
picket up, but was made to lay it down by
the Indians. He says that free gold float"
is not an uncommon thing to find, and that
the excitement over there is growing Mr.
Dallas is an honorable gentleman, and we
are positive he would not exaggerate the
facts for any purpose. Who knows but
that portions of Greer county and the In
dian Territory may become one of the rich
est mining regions in the country. Mr..
Benton, who has been mentioned in this
connection. ~ b town ysssarday from ths

was brought here to-day from his home in
the Chickasaw Nation in charge of Sheriff
Mason of Greenville, Hunt county. Texas,
who made the arrest last Saturday. Miller

being rape committed in Hunt county more
than two years ago. for which crime he was
indicted, but fed from the county before
being arrested, going to Columbia county,
Ark, where during the latter part of
last summer he shot and killed 4 man
named Milton Davis. He again fed the
country before being arrested, going to the
Chickasaw Nation, locating near Ardmore,

Here is peculiar legend of the In
dians, as told by the Rev. Mr. Cook tho
tull blooded Sioux, who is the minis.
terial representative of the Episcopalian
denomination at Pine Ridge Agency,
says the Omaha Bee The legend, which
was related to the Indian children at the
agency, was of their forefathers' belief
as to the cause of the disappearance OF
the moon He said the belief was that
every time new moon appeared il was
a signal for all the mice in the country
to gather themselves together in one
spot When they assembled they sep
arated in four great armies One army
went to the north, another to the south,
third to the east. and fourth to the
west. These armies of mice travelled
until they reached the point where, from
the place of starting, the heavens seemed
to touch the earth Then they climbed
up the sky until they came to the moon,
which by this time was what we call
full All Of the four armies then com.
meRced nibbling at Luna, and when
they had eaten her all up the mice
would scamper back down the heavens
to the earth and wait for her to show
herself again. when the journey and
nibbling would be repeated by the mice.
And this is what the Indians Of early
days believed was the cause Of the moon
growing old and finally disappearing.

GENERAL GREENE's STRATEGY.
Victory and Defeat Alike Contributed
20 the Purpose OF His Campaign.

Victory and Defeat Alike Contributed
90 the Purpose OF His Campaign.
In his article, "From Kings Mountain
10 Yorktown" in the Atlantic Monthly,
speaking of General Greene's last cam
paign, John Fiske writes:
Coming upon the scene under almost
every imaginable disadvantage he had
reorganized the remnant of Gates's broken
and dispirited army, he had taken the in
itiative from the first, and he had held
the game in his own hands till the last
blow was struck. So consummate had
been his strategy that, whether victorious
or defeated on the field, he had in every
instance, gained the object for which the
campaign was made. Under one disad-
vantage, indeed, he had not labored: he
had excellent officers.
Seldom has more brilliant group
been seen than that which comprised
Morgan, Campbell, Marion, Sumter, Pick
ems, Otho Williams, William Washing
ton, and the father of Robert Edward
Lee. 1t is only an able general, however,
who knows how to use such admirable
instruments. Men of narrow intelligence
no Hbb lthe W hhNc dDlc men aDOuJ Inenl
and do not know how to deal with them.
Gates had De Kalb and Ohio Williams,
and put them in places where their talent
was unavailable, and one of them was
uselessly sacrificed, while he was too dull
to detect the extraordinary value of Ma
rion.
But genius is quick 30 see genius and
knows what to do with it, Greene knew
what each one of his officers would do,
and took it into the account in planning
his sweeping movements. Unless he had
known that he could depend upon Nor
gan as certainly as Napoleon, in after.
years, relied upon Davoust on the day of
Jena and Auerstadt, it would have been
foolhardy for him to divide his force in
the beginning of the campaign--a move
which, though made in apparent viola
ton of military rules, nevertheless gave
him the initiative in his long and tri-
umphant game. What Greene might
have accomplished ON wider field and
with more ample resources can never be
known. But the intellectual qualities
which he showed in his Southern cam
paign were those which have character
lied some of the foremost strategists of
modern times."
