THE Texas Legislature has given that State the best advertisement it had for a long time by passing a law which notifies the world that pugilists can fight there only on tliy condition of beinjj sent lo the penitentiary.

IT is probably true, as Commissioner Lochren says, that the limit has been reached in the amount of yee.rly appropriations for pensions. Certainly it will not become any larger nnd^r the present policy of reducing pens-ions at Democratic diserition.

THEY have the diphthvna at Greenfield but the proper officials are making an active effort to prevent its spread. Rushville lias the :avlet fever and it is hoped that the proper authorities will do their duty in che matter, and we beleive they will j?t:nip out tLcse ttreadiul diseases.— Knshville Jacksouiau.

Yes, sir, the proper officials, the Beard of Health, took the proper steps in the diphtheria matter, and stopped the spread of the disease. There has only been seven cases of diphtheria in this city, but we believe if the Board of Health had not taken the matter in charge at the onset, the isease would have spread rapidly. We hope our sister city, of Iiushville, will not be seiiousIv affected with diphtheria or scarlet fever.

The United Indiana editorial Association, about 250 strong, arrived in Louisville, oct 8. They were entertained at the Board of Trade room by the Commercial Club, in true Kentucky style. Choice refreshments, both liquid and solid, were served. An address of welcome was made by Mr. Brown, of Louisville Times, which was responded to by John B. Stoll, of the South Bend Times, and C. B. Landis, of the Delphi Journal. All three were happy speeches. A Lig time is looked for, as Mr. J. A. Kemp, of the Silem Republican Leader, the manager, has secured about everything that is desirable on tbe way South. Kemp has captured everything that was not mailed down or locked up. Messrs. S. S. Boots, of the Herald, J. F. Mitchell, of the Democrat, and W. S. Montgomery, of the REPUBLICAN and their wives are here. R. A.

TEHEE COMMANDERS.

MEN WHO WOULD LEAD EUROPEAN ARMIES IN CASE OF WAR.

An Englishman Who Thinks It Would Be Profitable to Make a Technical Comparison l?ctwcen Viscount Wolopley and a

Russian and French General.

I do not know the new commander in chief of the English land forces. I saw him once or twice in my life, bnt this is many years ago, and in military matters of the magnitude involved in the supreme command of a great army I am afraid I should prove an incompetent critic. But I believe to a great extent in physiognomy, and if Viscount Wolselev be not a very clever man he ought to bring an action for libel against his face, for he looks decidedly clever. If there were any doubt in my mind about, his ability, it would be sot at rest by the not very enthusiastic remarks in connection with his appointment I read in one or two French newspapers. "You are an irritable people, envious, jealtus and pro-id to a degree," said Bismarck to General' de Wimpffen on Sept. 1, IS70. "You aro an irritable people.. envious, jealous and proud to a degree," he repeated. "You were under the impression that victory is an appendage which was exclusively reserved to you.

Has the quarter of a century gone by since th ise -words wero uttered m.ida :i difference in that respect in the French people? I shoiud not. like to say.

It may not be altogether uninteresting to look at tho two men against whom vhe English commander in chief will be pitted if a quarrel should ever unhappily break forth in Europe. I am alluding to the commanders in chief of the Russian and the French forces.

Tho Russian army contains several men of unquestionable capacity: nevertheless, there, appears lo be a consensus of opinion that, in the event of war, with no matter whom, the supreme command would virtually devolve upon General Obroutcheff, to the exclusion oven of General Kouropatkino. I say virtual command, for, nominally, young Nicholas would be at the head of his legions.

Having declared myself at the outset incapable of judging the English commander in chief from a military point of view, I am not going to stultify myself by endeavoring to do this in tho case of Obroutcheff. I only repeat what I have heard. Until very recently the chief of Vannowski's staff and Aid-de-camp General Obroutcheff was, in spite of bis recognised talents, looked askance at in Russian military circles. Tho epithet "red" was invariably tacked to his namo as late as 15 years ago, and the third section of the imperial chan-celle-rie, without troubling to inquire into the matter, placed him on the list of "dangerous" men "to be watched very closely. A note like that from tho Russian police becomes practically indelible, and, aid-de-camp general though he was, not tho slightest attempt was mado to ellaao his name from tho list. After his exploits on the Danube Lor is Melikoff drew the attention of Alexander II to this apparently flagrant injustice, to this permanent insult. Tho name was maintained on tho list for all that, but the epithot was changed from "red" into "well meaning."

Obroutcheff has married a Frenchwoman, and is a declared partisan—or supposed to be—of an alliance with France. His views in that respect date from 1870, when he was an obscure general. I repeat, about his abilities thore is little or no doubt. After the first checks in the Turko-Russian campaign he was sent in hot haste to the Danube, and he is credited with having saved the Russian army from total destruction. Before that, though, he had already become the intimate friend of the heir to the throne, and the friendship underwent no diminution during Alexander IH's reign.

Wherever the sceno of the next European campaign of the French may be laid, General Felix Gustave Saussier, the present military governor of Paris, is beforehand designated as tho leader. Saussior is close upon 70. In spite of his largo size he is very active, but for that size he would give one the idea of a mousquetaire of the Louis XIV period dressed in modern uniform. There is no doubt about his value as a soldier, which does not always mean an equal value as a supreme commander, but it is fair to state that in the battles around Metz, a quarter of a century ago, he distinguished himself most signally. The famous infantry charge at St. Privat, which practically barred tho progress of tho Germans on that side, was led by him.

Saussier was one of the officers who signed tho protest against the surrender of Metz. Having refused to pledge himself not to servo again during the campaign, ho was sent as prisoner of war to Cologne. Nor would he give his promise not to escape, consequently he was transported to a small town on the Vistula (Grandenz, I believe), and absolutely sequestrated—without effect, for he made his «scapo after all.

Ho allowed Gambetta to remain ignorant of all this, as well as of his republican origin, and the "great tribune," whose infallible instinct has been vaunted so much, oaly looked upon Saussier as a colonel of the empire and treated him as such. After that Saussier went once more to Algeria. Saussier, I should say, has had moro lighting than any general in tlia French army, but it would be rash to say that this made him a strategist. A brilliant soldier he was and) is still, in spite ®f his ago, and as he was barely 40 when France suffered |ier reverses he may have profited by theiii. To many in Fiance horself he is a a unknown quantity. Thqpe aro tho two men a comparison with whom and Vist ount Wolseley it would be profitable to establish, but I mean a technical comparison.—Loudon Illustrated Newa

ONCE AND TODAY.

A wreath of lilies and of passion flowers For golden days slow strung, A chain of memories to link the hours

Whose knell so soon was rung A gift of pride and love must henceforth crave. To hear what death seale'd lips no more may say, Sad, widowed eyes that toward my silence stray.

Ah, fading wreath, too quickly cast aw ny, That may not mingle with my lonely dust, All, warm young life, that cannot near me stay,

By poverty led forth to strangers trust! Swotft, miser soul, that in life nothing gave, Yet now bequeaths groat tears in generous shearers, You started my love while wealth, youth, life were ours!

Oh, fairest fr.ee was seen since Eden's bowers, Oh, ripe, red lip by too great scorning stung, Short, willful chin, cold, briglit eyes—dearest dowers

Of woman's beauty ever lover sun. Oh, heartless, trustless soul could ever brave The chuucw to giiove when roay yuutli grows gray— You won hi not hear me once—yii l-:.ve today. —:,uw Budget.

ACTION OF THE RAIN.

The Wonderful I-'actor It Is In the Disintegration of Kocks.

The rain falling on tho rocks sinks into every crack and crevice, carrying with it into ihtso ii.-i.-'uies stnfaco material which has been degraded by the weather, and thus ail"oiding a matrix sufficient to start the growth of vegetation and afterward to maintain {lie plants. The libers and rout? o£ tlie.se plants, bushes and trees thus brought into life, growing and expanding, act as wedges to splic up the jurl'-.ico of tho ruck a.id to commence the process of wearing away. From this quality of destruction a large class of plants derive tho name of saxifrages, or rock breakers, from their roots penetrating into the minute fissures in search of water, and so assisting in the process of disintegration. In winter the water collectc'd in the hollows and crevices becomes frozen, and expanding as it changes into ieo acts like charge of blasting material in breaking up tho rock. Tho pieces thus detached become further disintegrated by frost and weather, and, being rolled over and over and rubbed against each other as they are carried away down tho mountain torrents, are ground gradually smaller and smaller^ till from fragments of rock they become bowlers, then pebbles and finally sand. As the mountain stream merges into the river tho pebbles and coarse sand continue to bo rolled along the bottom of the channel, while the ragillaceuus particles and salts become mingled with the water and flow on with it either in suspension or solution.

While this disintegrating process is going on inland the rocks and cliffs on the coast exposed to ihc »ica are suffering degradation by a similar process and are also being worn away by tbe incessant action of tho waves of tho ocean beating on them «nd attacking them, not only with the impact of the water, but also with the fragments broken oil', which, dashed against the face from which they have been eroded, are thus used as implements of destruction.— Longman's Magazine.

O verathleticism.

The body can be killed through one organ, and in youth and middle age mortal injury of body and mind comes usually through one organ as tho primary seat of evil. It is an evil of froquent occurrence and greatly on the increase. A man is said to "throw himself, heart and soul, into his work." Such a man is in danger. He has four great parts of his body to consider—his heart and blood system, his lungs and other organs associated with breathing, his muscles, his brain and nervous system. But he docs not- heed them at all. Ho runs or cycles excessively, and in a much shorter time than I10 has rlie least idea of he makes his heart too strong for the rest, of his organism and endangers the finer ramifications of the vessels which are under the domination of the heart. He rows without studying consequences, and long before he is convinced of trouble he has produced an injury of tho chest mechanism which may soon be permanently established.

He takes to some muscular training, which puts tho muscular organs to an extreme of tension. Largo and small muscles alike are exposed to strain, both tho strong muscles that give propulsion and tho delicate muscles that guide, and before he has become conscious of the error he has committed he is a strained man, from which predicament he is fortunate if I10 make anything like a complete recovery. Another man enters into competitions mi which his mental organs aro kept awake for long intervals, charged with expectations, anxieties, fears, nay, excess of satisfaction, and while he is yet young he grows old.

A Famous Dog.

Railway Bob is tho name of a famous dog in Australia. Pie passes his whole existence on the train, his favorite seat being on top of tho coalbox. In this way he has traveled many thousands of miles, going over all the lines in South Australia. He is well known in Victoria, frequently seen in Sydney, and has been up as far as Brisbane. The most curious part of his conduct is that he has 110 master, but every engino driver is his friend. At night he follows home the engine driver of tho day, nover leaving him or letting him out of his sight until they are back in the railway station in tho morning, when ho starts off ON another of his ceaseless jonrneyings.—New York Tribune.

There is in Norway a wooden church of unknown ago, but undoubtedly several hundred years old, which is held to illustrate old methods of building admirably. The queer, peaked, many angled roof has almost an oriental appearance.

It is asserted that "the only wealthy people in China are officials and ex-offi-cials, and not a single person can be found who has grown rich from honest industry."

In its 77th volume it is at once conservative and bright, discussing not only modern Spiritualism, but frequently lending its influence fearlessly in matters of yu )!ic importance outside its principal field.

Mr. John W. Day, who is the editor and one ol the proprietors, writes in The Banner of Light as follows to the proprietors of Paine's celery compound: •'1 owe ycu a debt of gratitude in placing OH the market such a nerve-easing and and soothing remedy as Paines' celery compound. It was brought to my notice by a friend who had himself been greatly relieved by its use, as I have also been. "I have frequently taken occasion to commend Paine's celery compound to others, and I do not know au instance wherein, ic" faithfully tried, it has not worked a benefit. "Yours truly, John W.Day."
