LANGUAGE AMONG DoGs.-La wrsnce Kan.
April l3-Probably the most convincing
and remarkable evidence that animals can
talk to each other was witnessed here n few
days ago on The firm of William Seymore
Seymore has two dogs which are accustom cd
to remain in the barns and have become
firm friends with the horses To such an
extent has this friendship prog essed that
when any Of the horses or either of the
dogs have besn away from home for any
time, Immediately on their return they rush
together and rub noses and give other owl
dsnces Of delight at meeting.
The dogs aod horses 60 TO the pasture
together and return home at evening in com
psny. This remarkable and close friend
ship has been noted by many and much
commented upon, bu; the climax was
reached when one Of The dogs came rushing
from q small piece of timber land about hal
mile from the barn. lie ran hurricdly up
to the other dogs and whined and barkcd
in queer manner, and then ran to the
house.
The second dog at once jumped 10 his feet
and started oH on q run 10 the woods rs
fast as he could 60. The first dog hunted
aropud the place until he found MIR.
Symore, and then by blrks and strange
antics attracted his attention and started
back toward the timber.
Mr. Seymore paid little attention to him
until he was told what occurred in the barn,
where the two dogs apparently held conver-
sation..and then he followed him to the woods,
and there MIR. Seymore found that ono OF
his horses had fallen down in small water
course which was 80 narrow and steep that
1t was impossible for the animal TO arise.
The horse was lying perfectly still, while
tho second dog was sitting by its head lick
ing its face and showing by is attentions
that he intended to comfort the horse oil
that was in its power. The ftc. that the
horse was lying in on out of the way place,
with the edIitioffal. fact that the second do &
did lot hesitate, but went directI 10 where
it had fallen, was plan evidences Of the fact
that the first dog had told tie story and
given directions for finding The horse that
was in trouble. '

BAILEY, TsxAs, April 12.-In my calcula-
ton as to who would be elected u. s, Sena-
tor al The special session of tho Texas legisla-
ture. Was mistaken in regard to who our
statesmen would chose. predicted in my
last communication to the TINES that Mr..
Chiffon would be the lucky man in the
contest; but also said MIR. Mills would
make a brilliant run. owing TO the fact that
ho was defeated for speaker Of the house in
tho National legislature. The election for
U. s. Senator was he'd, as the associated
press has informed you already, at Austin,
Tuesday, March 22d, and MIR. Mills Was
elected on the first ballot, thcro being no
opposition to hin, ,<Mcssrs. Culberson and
Chiffon having withdrawn from the contest
prior to that date. The Texans seem to be
we'll pleased now that he is senator, as he is
and has always been an incorporating
tariff roformer.
Mr.. Laubam, who ha. represented the
l1th Texas district i'm Congress so ably
and SO long, has announced his intention to
retire from politics at the end Of his present
term Of office. lie has served his people
with homer and hc will retire with honor,
TOO.
Hon. j. Q. Ghenowith, who was Mr.
Cleveland's fret Auditor Of tho treasury, is
a citizen of BoDham, Fanniu county, Texas
lie mas announced Tor the ONE OF county
Judge in this county, Chenowith is a fine
lawyer and very popular here. There 10
l,ttle doubt OF his being elected but il
seems to me that his aspirations are not very
high, or he would ain, at something higher
than o county Judgeship in Texas, where
there are nearly two hundred such Judge
ships in the stuc.. Such, though, is tho luck
of n politician.
Our farmers are somewhat elated over
an idea that tho production Of castor beans
will relieve them from financial distress. At
any rate many are prspar ny 10 plant thus
season and experiment little. 1t is estl-
mated that 80 to 40 bushels will grow on an
acre, and that they Gao be sold for 81 so per
bushel, which will make the gross income
per acre from $500 to $50. l am sure
there is great deal of speculation about
this but it is well to try the experiment.
The castor bean industry in Parker county
this state, has met with some favor for the
asr few years. The beans are manufacture,
into oil at Weathcrford, the county seat Of
Parker County.
The exceedingly dry weather we have hau
for the last 8 or 8 mouths is at an eud il
this part of the State. Copious aud album

weeks, the ground is again wet aud th-
occupation Of hauling water has, for time
at least, been stopped. Tho weather is

After reading the different reports Of the

We cannot see that it has done any good to

an index of what NE are to expect at all the
public meetings during the coming campaign
we may expect some very disreputabe
scenes. The "howlipg down" plan will moi

will go into the campaign believing their
strength is SO near equal that the weaker
will strive harder and moro persistehtly for
