PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

The peace offices of the United States
liz is reported, have been effectual in n
Iaugurating the consideration of treaty
of peace between Japan and China. Inc
negotiations have so far progressed
Through our ministers at the respective
courts of the belligerents that an amnesty
is expected in q very short time, so that
the terms of treaty of peace may be dis,
cussed and agreed upon. Japan will
likely demand a large indemnity, including
all its expenses and loss by war and the
withdrawal of Chinese interference with
the affairs of the government of Corea,
which latter country Japan will in all
probability take under its powerful and
enlightened protection. This much Japan
has a right to demand, part on account OF
Its own war expenditures and next on ac-
count of Corea. 1t will be happy thing
for Corea to come under the influences OF
such a nation as Japan, which has i'm
proved more in the last 20 years than any
other nation on the civilized globe. Within
that time Japan has absolutely abolished
an ancient and rotten system of govern
ment. freed itself from superstitions that
have existed from time immemorial, edu-
Gated its people up to the highest civiliza,,
ton, cultivated the arts and sciences and
become power on the map of the East
ern world, equal to any European or
Western power, and it will give Corea all
these advantages. The object was worthy
of such a brilliant war as Japan has
waged against ignorance and superstition
and old customs.

capital has been injected into the Little
Rock Jockey club. Col. JnO. NJ. Oracle is
well known breeder and has had long
experience on the turf. Mr.. McFarlane,
the new secretary, is known on every rep
utable track in the United States and is
especially qualified to fill the position.
These two gentlemen have succeeded in
establishing the association on solid
foundation and aim to make Little Rock
the most important racing center in the
great Southwest. The amount of money
to be hung up in stakes and purses next
April shows a material increase over
former years and the meeting itself has
been extended to six days instead of five
as heretofore. The purses will be uni
fOrmly $500 and the stakes will range
from 500 to $1,000, and are all guar
anteed. The secretary is now busy mail
ing condition books for the stakes, all of
which close Jan. 10, 1895. Winter quar-
tiers have been engaged for number of
stables and more are expected to come
later The track is especially adapted
to wintering and training purposes. The
track, while not a fast one, is good all
winter through and the grounds, which
have been sown in rye, affords green
pasturage all the year round. Starter
Pettingill has been engaged to handle
the flag at the spring meeting which be-
gins April and continues one week.

ACTION OF THE SUGAR TRUST.
Not Near So Many Operatives Idle AS
Was Thought Would Be.

New York, Nov. Bottle Evening
Post says: The statement of H. o.
Havemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining company (the sugar trust
that the refneries of the company must
be shut down for awhile owing to de-
preston in the trade, due to legislation,
was discussed today in business and Ia
Dor circles. The modified announce
ment made by Mr.. Havemeyer that only
half the force would be laid off was re-
garded as indication of less fixed pur-
pose than was indicated in the declara-
ton of the company's intentions on We'd
nesday night. At the refineries in Brook
Ign hundreds of workmen and women
and members of their families were gath
cred this morning. From their state
ment it appears that about 5000 of the
1000 usually kept busy there were idle
today. They did not know how long this
would last. When they were discharged
on Wednesday night they understood
they would report again on Sunday night.
One said that so far as the Eastern Dis
trict refneries were concerned they were
not overstocked with sugar, there be-
ing on hand only 10000 barrels,
not more than enough
for four days supply of the market. AT
the offices of the refneries information
was received by the subordinates and
officers in charge that they declined to be
interviewed. Clerks maintained that
everything was going on as usual, despite
the crowds of idle men in the street. The
Mollenhauer refinery at the foot of
Eleventh street, which was not in the
trust, was not running at it's full capacity
today. Extra hands were put on this
morning. In Wall street the disposition
was general to connect the action of the
trust managers with the coming session
of congress. The directors have said
nothing officially since the vote in the
senate and have refused to talk, even
when the rather striking trade develop
ments of the past two months have been
in progress. 1t has, however, generally
been believed that the next dividend on
the sugar company's common stock, which
is payable in January, will be declared in
the middle of the month and will be re-
duced from the quarterly 3 per cent.

DR.. Swearingen remarks in his Estate
Health Officers Report, that there is no
state board of health in Texas. The SAM
tary affairs of the state are under quite a
unique management. 1T" he says, Soon
sists of a quarantine department and de-
partment of internal sanitation, both of
which are administered by a state health
officer who is ex-officio surgeon general
of the state militia" This is is + certainly ,haIg
unique, but the uniiguest part OF the whole {,
Whether that internal means a fellows
gizzard, liver and lights or the interor OF
the state is left to the construction of the
health officer. 1t is some consolation to a
bilious citizen to feel that his internal
arrangements are under the jurisdiction
of the health officer of the state If he so
CONSTITUTES the law.
But jesting aside, however unique may
be considered the sanitary organization
of the state we all feel safe if it continues
under the control of that splendid gentle
man and skillful physician, DIR. r. M.
Swearingen.

EMPLOYMENT OF CONVICTS ON
PUBLIC ROADS.

Hon. John l.. Slayden of San Antonio
has written letter to the Express of that
city in which he urges the employment of
the convicts in the state penitentiaries in
improving and building public roads in the
state. Mr.. Slayden says very truly that
convict labor should not be brought into
competition with private and independent
labor and he claims that his proposition if
adopted would solve the question.
The importance of good county roads
cannot well be overestimated. In the last
few years the roads of Travis county
have been greatly improved, but there is
yet room for work in that line. The prop
ositiOn is a good one and we hope the
legislature will act accordingly. The basis
for all other kinds of growth in a state
and in towns and cities is largely built up
on public roads. No state in the Union is
more highly improved with public build
ings and institutions for the deaf and
dumb, the blind and the insane than Ohio,
nor is there any state more highly i'm
proved with comfortable and often hand.
some and beautiful private residences than
Ohio. The encouragement of all this i'm.
provement is in great degree attributable
to broad, well kept metaed roads, free tC
all travellers as the public institutions OF

Texas especially, with her vast area
of arabic lands itching for cultivation
needs GOOD roads throughout every county
in the state in order that emigrants may
be attracted to these fine lands. Coco
roads shorten distance and make lane

railroads many times more valuable

WELLINGTON LYNCHING CASE.

WILMINGTON LYNCHING CASE.
Memphis, Nov. Bottle trial of w.
S. Richardson and H. n. Smith, for the
sextuple lynching, in the criminal court
of this city, was today marked by some
rather unexpected developments. Smith
who was on the stand when court adj
journed for Thanksgiving, badly contra
dicted his statements made on Wednes
day in his direct examination. When
Attorney General Patterson took hold of
him today he seemed badly bothered and
involved himself in web of irreconcilia-
BILE statements. The testimony of w. S.
Richardson was a surprise. He replied
either very artfully or with the assur-
ance of absolute innocence. His direct
examination was not finished. He will
be put on the stand again tomorrow.

The art oflying seems to the indie
pendent to be almost in sight, though
it may be some time yet before we ac-
tually reach it. 1t is already quite
clear that the amount OF power re-
uuired to maintain q body Of consld-
cradle weight in the air and to drive
it forward with great velocity IS moth
inc exorbitant; the difficulties seem
to lie rather in the regulation and
direction of the machinery. A recent
investigation of Professor Langley up
on what he calls ''the internal work Of
the wind" throws a flood of light upon
some of the most puzzling problems
of aerial navigation. The soaring"
of birds has long been amystery; the
way in which, for hours, sometimes,
they circle round over the same spot
without an apparent motion of the
wing. Langley find the explanation
in the fact (which he has demonstrated
experimentally) that the motion Of the
wing is technically speaking an "un-
steady" motion; that is, neighboring
portions of air move with very differ
ent directions and velocities so that
49, ,vind-stream is full of whlrls and
eddies. By taking advantage OF this
the soaring bird maintains his flight
without doing any work." he has
simply to change slightly the inclina-
zion of his wings as he steers himself
ont Of one eddy into another by an
action exquisitely skilful but not
1aborious. 1t is like the art OF the
sailor who beats against the wind by
hauling his. sheets and trimming his
sails. By running while in one cur
rent of the wind-stream and then sud
denly steering out into an adjoining
ono of different velocity and direction

Losses in Great Battles.

At Mollwitz the Prussians lost eight.
cen per cent, the Austrians twenty.
eight per cent. At Kolin, Fredericks
force suffered to the extent of thirty.
seven per cent, while his victory cost
his enemies only fourteen per cent.
At Zorndorf, the bloodiest battle of
which we have any record that we may
rely upon, the proportion of loss to
the total forces engaged rose to the
enormous total of from one-half to
one-third. Kunersdorf was almost rs
destructive to human life, and Freder-
ick lost thirty-fve per cent, against
twenty-six per cent. of the allies.
With the advent of Napoleon and
the loosened formation of the Revolu-
tionary armies, losses were at first di-
unfinished; but at Aspern the Austrians
left nearly twenty eight per cent. of
their men on the battlefield and the
French, although the bulletins denied
it, are said to have been weaker by
one-half after the battle. Borodino,
TOO, deprived the Russians of thirty.
six per cent. and the French of twenty.
five per cent. During the later Ma.
poleonic wars we find the losses some.
what lower, although after Ligny the
Prussians were weaker by as many as
twenty per cent, and the victory of
Waterloo cost US rather more than
that proportion.
When, however, we turn to the cam
paigns which succeeded the lull of ex-
haustion following the downfall of the
first empire, we are confronted with
no such bloody records, in spite of the
invention of percussion caps, rifles and
even rided cannon. The allies of the
Alma only lost some six per cent, and
the Russians fourteen per cent. mixer.
mann, however, was as bloody as
Waterloo, but it was struggle in
which tactics played a very small
part.
The losses at Magenta and Solferinc
were comparatively slight. Although
the consequences of Koniggratz were
immense, they were cheaply purchased
by the victors; while in 1870, not
withstanding that both sides wer
armed with breech-loaders, the losse
never approached the huge totals o
some of the battles of the early cen
fury or of those of the Seven Years
War. At Worth, it is true, one-sixtl
of the total forces engaged were eithe
killed or wounded, but at Gravelottt
the proportion was only one-eleventh
and at Weissenburg one-twelfth. -

The Changeable Flower of China.

The botanical oddly OF the FlowerJ
Kingdom is the towering tree, known
to the scientists as the Hibiscus mu-
tabilis. It's beautiful flowers, gener-
ally double, are pure snow in the
morning, bright pink at noon and of
n deep, blood red at sunset, fading
into a sly-blue by bedtime. The
leaves of this particular tree somewhat
resemble those of the grapevine, being
deeply notched, or serrated, rough
and OF variable lengths. The tree is
not only native Of China and Japan,
but is found in great profusion in In
dia, CoreG and Siam. The "Cham-
eleon flower" $50 called on account of
its changeable colors, because not yet
scientifically identified and named),
recently discovered in the Isthmus of
Tehauntopec, is only an American
variety OF Hibiscus mut0bilis. In case
of the former, the colors do not pass
abruptly from one shade to another, but
change gradually from the soft white
of the morning to the pink and red of
noon and evening, and thence to the
blue of night.
The Tehauntepec tree is larger than
its Chinese relative of similar habits,
and the flowers have the popularity of
only giving forth perfume when they
are red.
Several other species of Chinese
shrubs and trees bear flowers which
change color daily, chief of which is
the Oriental hydrangea, which changes
from bright green to deep pink. -

Various Grades Of Salt.

There is an old clearinghouse joke
to the effect that chronic grumbler
on leaving once said to his landlady
that she provided her boarders with
the very best salt he had ever tasted.
This was supposed to be funny, but as
matter of fact there is much differ
ence between different grades of salt
as between different grades of sugar.
Because salt is nearly as cheap OF sand,
people are apt to consider that it is OF
very little Importance anyhow but
the trade IN it is avery extensive one,
although it does not yield much profit.
This universal 'condiment can be
bleached ond'prepared fCr the table
so as to make it quite ornamental as
we'll as useful, or it can be served up
in shape unpleasant to the eye and
almost imperceptible to the taste.

variety of pleasing amusements, and
when it was over refreshments were
served, and everybody enjoyed the
occasion-that is, everybody but Nicely
herself, whose birthday was being
celebrated. Her disappointment was
caused by the absence Of her lover,
who had gone out of town on business,
and could not possibly return before
a late hour, when he had promised to
look in on his way from the depot.
Medley was the girl about whom this
story was told: She had attended a
party after her engagement to Bruce
Lowell, and he, not being invited, was
naturally absent. When she went
home she threw herself pouting into a
chair and looked bored and dis
couraged.
"Who was there?" asked her mother
who, mother-like, was sitting up for
| her.
"Nobodyw answered Nicely, in a
pathetic voice.
1t was only week later when Nicely
attended another party, this time
under the escort of her lover.
That night when she went home her
face was radiant Mrs. Hollingwood
asked her usual question while Nicely
was waltzing about the room.
."Who was there?"
Everybody" answered the happy
girl, giving her mother goodnight
kiss
SO on this birthnight celebration q
black cloud settled ON Neely's horizon
which foretold a storm.
At II, just as the company was de
parting, Bruce Lowell arrived and il
time to see his former rival, Archi,
Dean, sitting it out with Nicely. Ther
Neely's black cloud turned a dark anC

after the fashion of the stage lover

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.

We hear OF the grand Successes
Ofthe obstacles overcome,
We hear the songs Of triumph
And praise for great deeds done.
but we seldom hear Of the failures
Oithe efforts that came to naught,
Or the cry OF disappointment
From hearts with misery fraught.
We loudly hail the victor
In the struggle for gold or fame.
But give little heed to the thousands
Who labor and struggle in vain.
Honor to him who wins the rac0
We all are glad to pay,
But there's little respect or pity
For the many who fall by the way.
