A Remarkable Man.

Orange, Texas, May 22.-Wolf
Bluestine, who died at Hot Springs
on the 2lst and was buried at Hons.
ton yesterday morning, came to Or
ange a very poor man in 1876. He
began merchandising, and while
here acquired a capital estimated at
between $50, 600 and $4,000. He
could neither read nor write, yet he
was a marvel in mental arithmetic.
Fractions nor interest had any hard
place in them for him. He offered
the principal Of the city schools at
this place $lO0 if he would teach
him to write his own name within a
year. The professor undertook the
job and worked with great energy,
but he discovered that on each Mon.
day morning every trace of the pre-.
vious weeks work had entirely
faded from the mind of his pupil, aud
after five months Of close attention
to his undertaking abandoned it as
a hopeless case. A peculiarly con-
stucted "BXX' was the nearest ap-
proach he ever made to penmanship,
butthat signature is attached to many
valuable documents now on record
in this county, and has for several
years passed current at the banks 10
New York, Galveston and Orange,
often for large sums Of money. It
was quite as difficult to counterfeit
the characters as affixed by him as it
would be to successfully initiate the
signature.

The model Republican House has
voted its members 500 a month for
clerk hire, not only while Congress
is in session, but for all the year

salaries on the principle of the back
pay grab, why not 60 at it in a man
ly courageous manner? As adopted,
it has the appearance of sneak thiev'
ing. The full term of service of this
Congress will not exceed nine
months, and for that the members
vote themselves $lO0 a month clerk
hire for twenty-four months -Pitts-

The Lyons quintuplets that were
born to Mrs. Oscar Lyons, Of May
field, Ky, on April 29th, are all
dead, the last dying last Thursday.
A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
says Of these children : Their deaths
were very peculiar, and the cause
can not be explained by physicians,
unless. caused by an over worry by
the enormous crowds visiting them,
which has been permitted since their
birth. The one died on May 4th,
and the others on the 18th, 18th, and
l4th. Each one of them died in
stantly and in a similar manner, Civ.
ing a loud scream at the moment of
death. They were fully developed
and for awhile appeared to be in
perfect health, but a few days pre-
vious to their death they became
very thin, as though they would dry
up.
The bodies Of the children have
been embalmed, and will be kept Oh
exhibition. The ones embalmed
several days ago are in an excellent
state Of preservation, and no trouble
is expected in preserving them by
the process. The father and mother
of the little ones are terribly grief
stricken over their loss, and grave
fears are entertained that the mother
can not endure the grief, and that
] the result will be fatal.

Over in st. Martin they have
adopted a couple of measures which
this parish would do well to initiate.
They are, to have mile posts planted
along all our public roads, indica-
ting the distance to and from all
places In the parish; and the other
compelling persons giving balls in
the parish to obtain a permit from
the justice Of the peace of the " ard
to give such balls, and that the balls
be guarded or policed by the conf sta
BILE of the ward. Both measures are
good, and the latter will probably
save a good deal Of money to the
