An ArmadIlIo Found In Texas.

Mr.. E. g. Cullen, who reside, aboat
eight miles from Austin, near William
son Creek and Oitmanyillc. brought TO
town this morning tough looking Gus
toner in the shape of an arnadillo. It's
back resembles that of tortoise. 1t has
a nose resembling an alligator or opossum
and has long claws, which resemble those
of n bear. The armadillo burrows in the
ground like ground hog and is peculiar
to the South American country, whose
inhabitants esteem it good food. 1t /,
rather an odd find in this country, though.
Mr.. Cullen says there arc good many
of them to be seen on Williamson Creek

EFFECTS OF DEHoRNINe UPON MILK.

Says s. NJ. Babcock, Phi. d.: Ten
COWS were dehorned in the evening just
before milking. There was marked
difference in the behayior of the differ
ent cows, some of them being scarcely
affected, while with Others the effect was
decided. With oil the COWS that fell of
either in yield or quality, there was at
the next mornings milking an improve
ment, this being more marked in the per
cent. of fat than in the yield of milk. In
some cases this was sufficient to entirely
obscure the immediate effect.
The milk yield of other COWS in the
stable was diminished almost as much on
the evening that the dehorning was done
as was that of the dehorncd cows

RoUp IN HOT wEATuEn.

Don't waste time and energy trying to
win back to life chickens which are ba l.
ly affected with roup at this time of
year. 1t is apt to be loves labor lost.
You can easily waste enough time over
sick chicken to buy two or three we'll
ones. Give the sick bird prompt, Wig
orous and intelligent treatment, and then
If she shows no signs of recovery stop
her suffering with equal rromptness.
This plan is much less cruel and more
economical than trying to prolong what
will probably never be profitable ex-
istence.
Bichromate of potash, says an au-
thority, is the best remedy for roup, aad
it is the drug used by physicians for
diphtheria. 1t comes in a powder, and
the strongest that can be obtained ut the
druggists should be used for this pur.
pose. 1t should be given dry on the
tongue in doses as large as medium
sized pea, and it should be given four
times in twenty-four hours, followed
each time by washing head, throat and
nostrils with chlorinatcd soda water or
weak vinegar. A little later small diet
OF cruel with meat and onions in it and
little milk puch should be given.
Kerosene is good remedy, but it is
SO harsh that the birds suffer fearfully.
Cool fresh water, with little iron in it,
should be kept near the chickens suffer
ing from roup. Generally roup comes
from the introduction of new stock in
the poultry yard, and the best way to
avoid this is to keep new poultry in
another yard for week or two. When
the birds are convalescent they should
be given strengthening food and tonics,
and be protected from strong, bullying
chickens which would only worry them
and probably induce relapse. Roup
treated in this way should be cured in
ten days; if not it is generally hopeless

matter. We are inclined to think that

A SIGNIFICANT CASE.

No recent event in the New England
states has stirred the public mind or
promises to make greater impress
upon the politics of that section than
than the attitude of the Republicans in
the Maine legislature on ballot reform.
The last legislature refused to adopt
the Australian system, but when the
Republicans came to make up their
platform they did not dare to leave it
out. They pledged the party to the re-
form. 1t will be remembered that, yot-
ing in September, they swept the state,
and Speaker REED became a party
colossus by the victory he won in his
district. The great question in the
present legislature has been this pure
ballot matter. The Democrats have but
a small minority, every man sup.
porter of the reform. Last week the
vote was reached. The first trial was a
tie in the house, the anti-ring Repub-
licans voting with the Democrats.
This caused hundreds of petitions from
all parts of the state to roll in urging
the passage of the measure. But the
alarmed Republican leaders rallied and
defeated it by "a to II, every Democrat
for, and all in opposition Republicans
A report in Boston paper says of the
contest:
The cause of defeat of The bill can be ex-
planned by the speeches of the men who
worked against it. They warned the Repub

THE LETTER DANGER.

Col. WATTERSON, the Louisville edit
or and statesman. is still being badgered
about that letter to HILL. His patience
is exhausted. and he would have in
puirers take the route that Gen. PALM-
Err would not go to the senate by.
When published, it seemed a harmless
and rather sensible document. AS a
private missive it was lot notable, but it
got into print. and certain parties got
on their ear. 1t is likely now to pass
into history as one of the political let
ters that affect the fortunes-of public
men. 1t was 4 mistake to write it;
still greater was the error in explain
ing. A frank statement of having
written it under the inspiration of high
impulses should have covered all reve-
Lations. But the unhappy admission is
made that, while it was addressed to
Gov. HILL, it was sent to Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND for approval and returned with
dlSapprOval. 1t was never sent to HILL,
and how it subsequently came to the
public eye none afford any informa-
ton. Its effect is to add to the more
or less marked discrepancy between the
two prominent Democratic leaders in
New York. This should not be a mat
ter of particular public concern, but
large men have their tender spots.
These affect their friends also. 1t was
understood that the chasm between
these party chiefs was being covered by
suspension bridge. This letter en-
dangers the stability OF the structure.
If there is such lack Of harmony be-
tween them as to endanger the vote of
the state, it may not be deemed prudent
to select presidential candidate from
that quarter. The incident may be
trivial and the conclusion illogical,
but small things have been known to
precede large events. Letters have
made trouble for several people outside
of divorce courts. In 1874 Mr.. CLAY
wrote something about Texas that may
have lost him the New York vote and
the presidency. 1t is seen in the
WATTERsoN case that it is not
enough to fail to mail the let
tiers to the party addressed. Mr..
BLAINE found that requests to burn as
soon as read failed to remove all danger.
The politician who has weakness for
writing letters is always in danger, es-
pecially if he has ideas or opinions that
persist in coming out. The prudent
statesman will be quite sure that his
letters ale burned before being sent OF
submitted to some infallible board of re.
view. If the Kentucky letter promotes
the Western idea in presidential poll
tics, chapter of accidents may not be
unfruitful in wholesome results.

corning the Tragedy.
New ORLEANS, March 17.-Judge r.
Ii. Mari, in section A, criminal court.
to-day charged the grand jury as fol-
lows: Gentlemen of the Jury: Since
your last adjournment New Orleans
has been the scene of depIor-
able tragedy which terminated in the
death of eleven persons. prisoners in the
custody of the law, charged with con-
plicity in the assassination of David c.
HennesSy, late chief of police of this
city. l say a deplorable tragedy be-
cause, without reference to the
causes, all good citizens must and
do regret the taking of human
life without warrant of law. The de-
tails and incidents of this alleged homi-
eide and its causes and antecedents are
matters of public notorlety, they are
discussed in the daily press. and they
largely occupy the public mind at home
and abroad. On Friday last the trial
of a large number of persons
charged with the murder of Chief
HenneSSy which has occupied the court
for some twenty-five days terminated
in verdict of mot guilty" as to all but
three of those on trial and mistrial as
TO these three. This result was re-
ceiyed with evident dissatisfaction
by those who had watched the
proceedings from day to day. and it
was charged publicly that some
of the jurors and witnesses had been
bribed or otherwise tempered with and
influenced. Pursuant to a call made by
many citizens. published in the daily
papers of Saturday morning. large
number of persons assembled on
Canal street and proceeded to the
parish prison. An entrance was eff
fected by force, nine of the persons
implicated in the killing of HennesSy
were shot. and two of three with re-
spect TO whom there had been a mis-
trial were hung, and the crowd that
surrounded the prison quietly dis
persed. Matters Of such gravity can
not be ignored by the courts or grand
jurieS. i am compelled by duty as
judge to bring them to your notice
and l feel assured that they will receive
at your hands proper attention, and the
calm, careful investigation which they
charged you, the district attorney is our
legal adviser, and you will, Of course,
consult with him freely touching
this, and all other such matters
as may engage your attention.
1t is not my purpose now to do more
than give this matter in charge to you,
and L do so with every confidence that
there will be no hasty or ill-considered
action on your part, and the results of
your investigation and deliberation
will be i'll accordance with your
appreciation and estimate of the
facts as they may come to your
knowledge. The sheriff will present
probably during the day. an official re-
port of the occurrence of Saturday.
When that report is filed it will be re-
ferred to you, and in reference to that,
as we'll as all matters requiring tnvesti-
CATION. L shall give such instructions
from time to time as | may deem neces-
Sary.

fore the grand jury. He was followed
