INTRODUCTION.

It has been truthfulfy said that story
without an introduction is like a nation
without history. This story is given to
the writer as a fact; the gentleman that
relates it, not being a man of letters, has
asked the author TO put it before the people.
This old gentleman is a man nearing the
'three score and ten" mark. and he lived
in Texas long before she bScame one Of the
sister States; therefore, we should not dis
credit his word if he chooses to do us the
honor to tell us his adventures. If the
reader should think that this story is with
out interest, let him put himself in our
hero's place; let him stand on the bank
of that stream. grapple hand in hand with
thefoe, and then float down with thccurrent
on log; let him have the arrowhead hole
in his sleeve: let him be the one 10 run from
the prairie-fire. and make miraculous
escape; let him experience that night in the
bottom; and let him undergo the other
trials and battle with the troubles that our
hero did, and see for himself if q life Of that
kind would be without interest. While
our old Texas Ranger does not wish to
disclose his name. but uses a fictitious one,
We do.not doubt it in the least. This man,
who has fought for Texas. now the largest
one of the sisterhood OF States, should

THE FAILURE OF OUR GENERALS.
Mr. Lincoln's solicitude regarding the
effect at the North of these repeated re-
verses was not without sufficient cause.
Aside from those who were positively op-
| posed to the war, the loyal people We're
wearying of the useless slaughter, the
| unavailing struggles of the gallant sol
diers. The feeling of that time is so well
expressed in stirring poem entitled
Wanted, a Man." written by Mr.. f. c.
Stedman, that we give it here. 1t has an
additional personal interest connected with
President Lincoln, in the fact that he was
so impressed with the piece that he read it
aloud to his assembled Cabinet:

on those Governments that refuse or abstain
from adhesion 10 the policy laid down by them.
The object aimed at L. the restoration Of the
authority Of the Chinese Government. and the
opening OF negotiations without more loss or
time than may be necessary TO bring this object
about. The policy OF strengthening the Chi
nese Government In order 10 obtain through II
satisfaction for what has occurred Is the only
alternative 10 undertaking Jointly with the other
Powers the control and administration OF the
whole country, certainly for a long and perhaps
for an indefinite period, As our Government
has no such purpose in view, the method OF
dealing with the question proposed in the
telegraphic instructions ~ Aug 20 90 the Ameri-
can representatives abroad seems the best
adapted to meet the requirements OF the situa-
ton. The Russian Government appears willing
10 go further. and to withdraw both its troops

SPAIN AND THE GREENWICH ME-
RTDTiN.

The Queen Regent Of Spain has signed a
decree declaring that nfter Jan. / next, time
throughout Spain and the Bslenric Islands
in all the public offices. public works and courts
and in tho railroad. telegraph, mail and steam
ship services, shall be regulated by the time
OF the Greenwich Observatory.
The railroad and telegraph offices in Spain
have heretofore used Madrid time and the en-
cial time throughout Spain has been determined
by the meridian of each locality. The new
decree substitutes for these numerous time
standards tho West European time as Green
wich time Is called. This will be a convenience
not only 10 the Spanish nation but also 10 all
persons using West European time and having
business relations with Spain that require the
use Of the telegraph.
The official time in Portugal IL that OF the
Tapada Royal observatory which is nearly
thirty-seven minutes slower than West Euro
pean time. As spain and Portugal are neigh
bors and have large business relations. this
difference in time will involve considerable
Inconvenience and Is likely to lead to %Portucal's
adoption Of the Greenwich standard.
France and Portugal are now the only Coun-
tries of West Europe that sull maintain their
own time standards. The growing demand
among French scientific men for the adoption
OF West European time led TO the passage Of a
bill TO hat effect in the French Chamber. In
1898. but action on the bill in the Senate has.
from time 20 time. been postponed and no vote
has yet been taken.
