Captain Alexander Rodgers. the spe-
cial Worlds Fair Commissioner to Bra
zil, reports that the botanical exhibit
from that country will be the finest ever
made. The director Of tho botanical
garden at Rio do Janeiro, DR.. J. Bar
boza Rodrigues, probably tho lending
scientist in that republic, is taking
great interest in the work Of preparing
a fine display for Chicago. He will send
Che fullest possible collection Of plants,
and make full exhibit Of orchids and
palms, on both of which he is high au-
thority, having himself discovered over
Ave hundred varieties OF orchids and
fifty new varieties Of palms. He will
send also his private chronological coiloc-
ton of over a hundred pieces, the most
valuable and the rarest that he found
during his stay in the Amazon country.
DIR. Ladislao Noeto, the director of the
national museum at Rio, is also very
earnest in having fine exhibit at Chi
cago, aud has already made requisition
for funds for that purpose. DIR. Neeto
organized the brazilian section of the
Berlin fisheries exhibition, aud promised
10 get up similar display for Chicago,
This may be given TO tho United States
Fishery Commission in exchange for
something of theirs.

Catarrh-Its Cause and Effects.

First we have common cold,
which, being neglected, leads to ca.
tarrh. From catarrh comes a legion of
ills which robs us of health and hap
piness, and finally our lives also. The
climate of winter is sure to bring colds.
Colds not promptly cured are sure to
cause catarrh, and catarrh, improp-
erly treated, is sure to make life short
and miserable. Catarrh spares DO Or
gan or function of the body. 1t is ca
pable of destroying sight, taste, smell,
hearing, digestion, secretion. assimila-
ton and excretion. 1t pervades every
part of the human body-head, throat,
stomach bowels, bronchial tubes,
lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder and sex
ual organs. Catarrh is the cause of at
least one half the ills to which the
human family is subject. Is there no
way to escape from this? There is.

THE TEXAS EDITORS.

The editor OF the Herald spent sew
eral days in Austin during the open
ing scenes of the legislature, and it
was with pride and pleasure that he
observed the high rank taken by our
Senator Kearby and R. preventative
Lloyd. They are held in universal
high esteem by their associates in
their respective bodies, and they will
most certainly render their constit-
uents valuable service in the halls of
state.-Cherokee Herald.
The Empire confidently predicts
that all Texas will by the end OF the
session of the legislature feel proud OF
Senator M. M. Crane of Johnson. He
is brainy, learned in jurisprudence, far
sighted, patriotic and fearless, but too
conservative to lend his voice to ex.
treme experiments and too practical
to indulge the chimeras Of the theo-
rists-S.ephenville Empire.
Let us hope that the legislature will
find time to pass the amended scalp

from east Texas were given a trip
through the west, 80 that they might
see with their own eyes the damage
wrought by wild animals, they would
be unanimously in favor of an in
creased bounty.-San Antonio Elk

The repeal of the oil inspection law is
thing much to be desired by oil con-
sumers. 1t adds 2 cents per gallon to
the cost of oil and gives no protection
whatever. The statistics will show
that more deaths have been caused
by explosion of lamps, etc, since the
law went into effect than for the same
length OF time before. The law is q
blank failure; let's repeal it and save
the people thereby a large sum OF
money.-Colorado Clipper.

THE SCALP LAW.

Among the interesting features of yester

of number of distinguished citizens who
have come here specially to look after legis-

These gentlemen are all extensive ranch
men and all greatly interested in the
question at issue,
At 7 O'Clock the committee on stock and
stock raising held an interes ing session, at
which these gentlemen were present. The
committee had before it two important
measures, one introduced by Mr.. ErSkine,
and one by Mr.. Wurzbach, both looking to
the protection of stock by the payment of
bounty for wo scalps.
Both measures nave excellent features,
and both evidence careful preparations but
is thought that the one introduced by
Mr.. Erskine is more comprehensive and
will be recommended to the house by the
committee.
This bill provides for the payment of a
bounty Of 81 by the county, ana 81 by the
state for each coyote scalp
