The Herald says: "Of all lbs dailynewspapers which hive had an ix'stence in Austin, none have a placeamong the living but the Daily Dkm-ockat- ic

Statesman. Mtny havesprung ict J being, and lived and pros-

pered for a sessoo, but by a decree ofthe lilts, have paused away, and arebo more. The continued existence

ad increased prosperity of the States-man may be accounted for on th priicipleaofthe Huxley-Dirwinla- n theory,that 'none but the fittest survive.' "

Undek the new militia law men whoare regularly enli-te- -l and sworn intothe service are exempt from special polltax, and from road serviceand road andstreet tax, and from all jury service.By the by. Judge Btrnnm, of Chicago,has again decided the mi'itia law to beunconstitutional, in that it exemptsmembers of the State militia from jurydoty. The decision was made iu thecase of Peter J. Dunne, who refusedto serve as a juror on the Rrotiud ofbeing a member of the first regiment.It is thought the case will Im broughtbefore fie Supreme Court.

Educated people at the capital il-

lustrate their excellent gord taste andpood sense in becoming owners of en-

graved copies of the great prize pic-

tures of the Paris International Expo-sition. Tht-6- copies at least enableantravelcd men and women to talk in-

telligently ot the greatest ai fiat'sworks of our time, and in troth thenext best thing to-- the ownership ofan original master piece of art is theacquisition of a faultless engraving inwhich genius and ski'l are often be-

trayed as great and wonderful as thatof the painter or sculptor.

The demand for good seed wheatcontinues. Hundreds of thousands ofdollars worth of 11 ur are brought toAustin from Missouri, Kansas andNorthern Texas, when Travis and adjoining counties could, with ease, notonly raise enough for home consump-tion, but a considerable quantity forexpoit. The money spent for flour isa great drain upon our revenues. Raisethe wheat and keep this money athome, especially when as good flour asis RiaJe in the world is ground here.We will be a prosperous people onlywhen we raise our own bread and meatand some to spare.

sulted fatally. She lived but a fewhours. This is the second lady of latewha has met death by attending MajorPenn's meetings; but when the Christian reflects that both of them may havebeen thus prepared for a blissful existence, the goodness of providencemay be recognized in taking themaway.

Capital State Fair. Rememberthat the fair opens one month from to

Jf and continues five days. What areyou doing to add to its success ! Theindications irom serosa are mat it winbe the finest exhibition ever held inTexas, but we cannot depend whollyon strangers. The great bulk ot articles shown in Exhibition Hall mustbe furnished by residents of this cityand county. Cases will be furnishedfor fancy articles so that they can bebetter protected than heretofore, andit is hoped that everyone will furnishsomething for the exhibition. If youhave not a premium list, call on thesecretory, in Randolph's store, and re-

ceive one, or address him through thepostoffice and one will be sent you.The Capital State Fair is a public en-

terprise and its success adds materiallyto the success of Austin. It is not runin the interest of the stockholders, notone ot whom has ever realised a centirom the investment, the total receiptsfrom each fair having been returned toits patrons in premiums. Get some-thing ready for the lair and tell yourneighbors to do likewise.

Rlovlns Towards tbe Capital Reser-vation.

Tasosa, Texas, Sept. 11, 1379.Editors Democratic 8tateman:

Possibly some of your readers wouldbe interested in a sketch of a trip fromAustin lo this far off corner of thePan Hindi.:

In company with Capt. N. L. Nor-ton, commissioner, the writer has hadthe pleasure of traversing one of themost interesting portions of the Stateof Texas. As neither of u were ac-

quainted with the roads, and beingwithout a guide, we came to ColemanCity, thinking we would there decideupon our route. As we could learnvery little about the McKensie or morewestern road we determined to try theroute by Fort Griffin, thence to FortElliott, and then west, np the Cana-dian river to Tascosa.

We reached Fort Uriffio, driving ourthird team, having "used up" two al-

ready, traveling over a broken coun-try, rough roads and no roads.

At Coleman City, which is thrivingand beautifully located, Mr. Walkerand his lady, who are enthusiastic geol-ogists, showed us some splendid speci-mens of fossils which abound in thatlocality. The valley just south ofBuffalo Gap is surrounded by magnifi-cent hills, the soil is fine and an abun-dance of good water is obt lined inwells at a depth of sixteen feet. Thissection seems destined, and not in thevery distant future, to suppoit a densepopulation.

At Albany we met old friends hadacquaintances, who cheerfully bade ustake care of our scalps; and at FortGriffin we met Qapt. Aerington andSergeant Jones, of the rangers, wnocordially invited ns to their camp onthe Clear Fork of the Brazos. Tea asis fortunate in having secured the ser-

vices ot so vigilant and competent anofficer as Capt. Aerington.

On the road to Fort Elliott, waterwas very scarce, and when we did findit, it generally tasted like a mixture ofepsom salts, quinine and burnt coffee.At the crossing of the South Fork ofRed River we saw Indian signs, mocca-sin tracks, etc., but no Indians. The''rustlers," the same by which the rob-bers of this section are known, alsoseemed to think us not worthy of theirespecial attention, and we readily ex-cused them. While following a dimtrail, we met a bard-looki- ng case,whom we interviewed as to the likeli-hood of finding water, grass, etc., andin the course of the conversation ledNorton to ask, "Have you any 'roadagents' in this country?" Thinkingthe Colonel meant overseers, the fel-low looked puzzled a moment and an-swered: "Road agentr, road agents;no, damn it, if you don't like thisroad you can take across the prairie.""I mean highwaymen," said the Col-onel. "Ob," exclaimed the man,brightening, "yon mean rustlers. Hell ;yes, plenty of 'em."

Upon arriving at Toscosa we foundMr. Manson, with one of his parties,camped near the town. The otherparty (Mr. Munson baa two in the fiel )came in the next day and we will stsrtsouth of the Canadian river some daythis week. A sketch of this and thecountry north of the Canadian riverwill be given in some future communi-cation. C. C. C.

Parties irt treated will do well toheed the notice of Dr G. E. Routh,secretary of the board of medical ex-aminers for the sixteenth judicial dis-trict, which appears elsewhere in to-ds- y's

issue. Applicants for the prac-tice of medicine must present them-selves and pass examination by tbeboard before pursuing the profession.or they will be held amenable to thelaws. dlt-w9t- h.

Bitters, djtpep&is, nervous indisposi-tion, constipation and bilious com-plaints cease to harass tbe invalid.That they will instantly give ground isnot pretended, but no medical fact ismore certain, or avouched by morecompetent testimony, than that thesemaladies, and others to which it isadapted, entirely succumb to the i&flience of the medicine, if it be given afair trial. Their total, if not instantrout, is certain to ensue. Liases ofetretglh are repaired, and fail-

ure of appetite and nerve qui-etude are remedied by the Bitters; andas the stomach grows stronger and as-

similation is aided by its action, a giinin flash will follow. Lidics in delicatehealth, aged persons and convalescentsderive bodily and mental solace fromits use, aod experience none of the re-

pugnance which ordinary tonics fre-

quently inspire. The emphatic recom-mendation of physicians confirms theverdict in its favor.

" Him that cometh t Me I will inno wise cast out." It is not a hojeas to whether Christ will accept you ;

it is a certainty Spurgeon.A yery good point made in a late

public address was, if parents are so-

licitous concerning the future of theirchildren, they should be careful to "livethemselves as they wish to see theirchildren live."

Mr. Spurgeon has a kind of witwhich is sometimes as sharp as an ar-row, lie saya that every one is will-ing to find an excuse for staying awayfrom the prayer met ting. Brother A.,for instance, thought it looked iikerain, and concluded to stay at home.On Thursday evening, however, al-

Shortly after this he sank rapidly,and became delirioup, but not violentlyso. Once or twice he attempted toraise himself in the bed, but was easilycontrolled. Only once did his mindseem to revert to the days of war. Ina tone of command be exclaimed: "Iwant those stores taken from my owncommissary." Just before bis death,and while Gen. Ogden was holding hishands, he lifted himself up, threw bishead round, and seemed to be gazinginto the distance with flashing eyer--,

and such an expression as he must haveworn when, in the hef t of some desper-ate engagement, he looked back forhis old brigade with which to lead aforlorn hope.

On tbe second day be cslld the doctor to him and said: "Doctor, if youfind you cannot win the fight, let mego oil easily."

When Gen. Ogden went to see him.he said, in answer to an inquiry as tocow ne teir, "liod's will be cone andnot mine. What God does is right,general."

Tabulating customs and internal revenue receipts according to sections, forthe purpose of showing that Dmocratic States bear but a tmall share ofthe burdens of the governmer.t, is nowa favorite emuseuirct with treasury offi-

Tammany has been entirely c xcludedfrom the reoigan zd State Democraticcommittee of New York. This turnsKelly entirely loose from any politicalorganization, and makes Tammany entirely an independent body.

The Tammanymen inquired tbe reason for it all andwere assured that it was in accordancewith a resolution of the Syracuse convention. The Tammanyites then withdrew, Peter Mitchell, substitute for H.A.

The electric light on Conry Islandhas been complained of by sea captainsas disturbing their reckonings. It is sobrilliant that they take it for some lighthouse, and is visible so far off that itupsets their idea of where they are.The electric light at Bridgeport is sobright that it strikes passing Soundsteamers out miles from the shore withthe effect of a slice of daylight. Undoubtedly this is the light for light-house purposes. It penetrates fogsand cannot be hid. An idea regardingit that ought to Le at once followed upis to put an electric light upon an oceansteamer; if it proved the success that itno aoubt would prove, all would haveto adopt it. Worked by the engine atno appreciable cost whatever, it wouldbe a vast protection in creasing thebanks in togs, and would be useful atall times. We shall surely come to it,and it is only surprising how slowlythose people move who have most togain from progress.

A strong feeling of animosity isgrowing np between Russia aod Ger-many, and there are politicians andjournalists on both sides who make nosecret ot their wish for a tnal ofstrength between the two countries.Germany is certainly taking precautionsthat seem to provide for the worst.Ten thousand workmen are laboring onthe fortifications of the Fortress ofThorn, which is called the Staasbonrgof Germany's eastern border. The For-tress of Posen has also been immenselystrengthened and enlarged, and cannow accommodate a large army. Aconsiderable part of tbe indemnity pay-

ments made by France has been ex-pended upon these fortifications and infurnishing them with enormous storesot provisions and ammunition.

Thecounsel for the relatives of deceased inreply argued that the next of kin, inthe absence of the express testamentaryprovision to the contrary, were tbeproper parties to begin and sustain suchaction and that Vicar General Givensopinions in regard to excluding FreeMasons from burial in the consecrated ground was far from being wellfounded, as reference to the decree andlaws of tbe second plenary counsel ofBaltimore would show.

London, September 30. The PallMill Gazette, in a leading article, concedes that the complaints of the Irishtenant farmers are mostly genuine, andthbt they are for the moment unable topay their rent, and tbat they believein their right to remain ou the land inany event. They are fresh from theexhortations of the most popular politician in Ireland (meaning Mr. Parncll)to stick to their homesteads atwhatever consequence. If a generalrefusal to pay rent is followed by awholesale eviction, this will again almost certainly be followed by a seriesof agrarian murders, and unless theIrish executive is prepared to supportthe landlords by measures amountingtb little less than a military occupation of the country, tbe landlordswill have to choose between virtuallyconceding the tenants' claim, fixity ofUnure and giving a signal for the outbreak of something hardly distinguishable from civil war. The anti-tena- nt

agitation is only one among tbe symptoms of tbe general unrest of Ireland.For the moment it is very urgentbut even if the worst pinch in theagrarian distress were relieved by theuniversal reduction of rent, therewould still be much to disquiet us inthe condition of the country. The enthusiasm by which Mr. Parnell's pro-gie-ss

h&a been attended has infinitelyweakened the hands of more moderatehome rulers and emboldened ultras.Among its first results was a somewhattoo precipitate proposal to assemble anational convention. The fate of thisparticular project is at present uncertain, but tbe agitation upon whichtbe more violent section of tbe HomeRules have entered, will, in one shapeor another, produce its inevitable revolts. The party is generally troublesome. Tbe prospect in Ireland is notreally efll cted by the success or failureof anygiveu scheme for organizingtbe pressure upon the government.The present temper of tbe Irish peopleand their leaders concerns us more seriously than any particular proposalfrom its manifestation, and while thistemper remains what it is the semi-se-dicio- us

among the people and tbe recklessly incendiary among the leaderswill create trouble, whether the convention ever meets or not, the situationmust be a grave one. It should benoted tbat the old statute which prohibited conventions in Ireland hasbeen repealed.

Improved Methods op Execution.It is not surprising that from time totime attention is recalled to the barba-rous nature ot tbe mode of executingthe death penalty la this country.Hanging by tbe neck till tbe criminalis dead is obviously a relic of barbar-ism. It is the most primitive, the mostvarious, the least promst and uniformsnd certain of tbe modes of executionwhich have been or could be devised.If tbe object of an execution nowa-days be to insure the rapid and certaindeath of the criminal without any prob- - '

ability of intervening accident, delayor torture, hanging bj a cord, andtrusting to the rough adjustment ofweight and .fall which tbe "eye andexperience" of an ignorant hangmancan afford, is tbe most fallible of meth-ods, and must of necessity from timeto time lead to painful scenes of tor-ture. Tbe garotillo is, perhaps, of allexisting European methods ot letrlexecution, tbe most rapid and certain ;but without proposing any one substi-tute on onr own responsibility whetherthe carbonic acid chamber, the massiveelectric discbarge, or any other method .

it is certain tbat any scientific man orcommission could very speedily devicea prompt and bleodlesa certain mo ieof execution vhicb should be free fromthe clumsiness and uncertainty othanging. Tbe retention of this ancientrelic of past barbarism ia not credita-ble to our jurisprudence. BrUith Jt iical JvurnuL

A lecture, delivered at tbe BrhnUniversity some months ago, by Prof.Dubois-Reymon- bears tbe omi sons ti-

tle, "The tad of Onr World," and saystbat every movement upon our planer,with tbe exception of the ebb andflxd, which are cause! by the attrac-tion of the moon, is occasioned by solarheat. , As, however, tbe san loaea everyyear a portion of bis saloric, fciencohas lately come to tbe conclusion thatbe will not exist as an emitter of warmi blonger than tor seventeen million yearsto came. Daring that space of timeour earth will get colder and colder, iapropoitlon as tbe solar bast shall diminish. The ice will advance from tiepoles to tbe equator ; tbe earth's populations will gradually recede before tieadvancing glaciers; tbe sun will bctoo m

less and leas luminons, until b ailpresent the appearance of a dark r- - dball ; and finally ice will annihilate aUvitality on onr planet.
