Scarcely another Stato in the Union has as remarkable and in teresting it history as Texus. Iu one resjK-ct tit kmst it (H.cupies a unituc jKsition in th history of American States. Since its dis covery six different governments have at different times claimed its allegiance, and as many dif ferent Hags have waved over it, those of France, Spain, Mexico, independent Texas, the United States, and the Confederate States. The foundations of Texas state hood were not laid as a Hritish colony, nor under the grant or control of the Hritish crown, as were those of the original thir teen States. Its first settlement dates back more than 200 years, and its first American colonists went there under terms and con ditions imposed by a foreign State, to whose language, laws and institutions they were total strangers. There never was, there never could bo, any sym pathy between these first Amor -ican colonists and the Mexican government under the old regi me. Separated by vast wilder nesses from the people of the United States, and unaided save by the individual efforts of sym pathizing brethren therein, these colonists declared their inde xndence, established it with the sword, and for nine years main tained a stable republic. Texas was neither purchased nor conquered for the Union. Annexation to the United States was accomplished through a treaty made by Texas represent atives and ratifiod by the free suffrage of the citizens. No oth er State in the Union has had such varied experience or sailed through such stormy seas Into the haven of peace and prosperity.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

' Tbe Law Afalnst GambllDf. We confess to being nhocVvi at the very many official an nouncements mnde by mayors of North Carolina Cities and I owns that they will enforce strictly the anti-gambling act . on- actod by the recent Legihlnturo, and notifying all "gambling dens" within their respective iu risdictions to close up. We aro not shocked, of course, that our worthy "mayors will enforce the law, but Unit such conditions as they aro called ujon to fcuppress exist in so many or any of our towns. " Nor can wo relieve that such places as "gambling dens" nave iniesicu our towns general ly places established and set apart for such business. That men bet at times, and on various and sundry things, incidents, trames. etc.. may bo true ; that some indulge in more regular and systematic ginning is jwwsible; but surely in good, staid old North Carolina established "dens" for such practices must lie rare. We declare if such a iilaco exists or has existed in re cent years in Kaleigh we have not heard of it. However, the law prohibiting gambling is a good one, and should be enforced. We fully sympathize with its object and approve its enactment. Hut we do not fancy assuming that crim inal factories have existed and docxistin any of our coimiiuni ties unless there is very yood evidence of it. Kaleigh I'ost. Ountcrtclt Money at Mooresvllle. Business men in this town and vicinity are warned to be on the lookout for spurious coin which is evidently moulded in this vi cinity. For many months from time to time, counterfeit money has been picked up in various parts of our town. The coin has invariably been in one half and one dollar denominations, but the comjtosition is of such interior quality that it would be a bad job for the one who makes it to at tempt to pass it, unless it is done at night and in the dark. There has been no attempt toour knowl edge of any of this counterfeit be ing passed, but it is well to be on the lookout. Several dollars have Ihh'H picked up recently along the railroad track right in the heart of town, and uihjii one occasion a basket of laundry was fchipiMMl from this place to an other, and when the contents of the basket had boon removed two very bad imitation of coun terfeit silvr r dollars were found. Mooresville Enterprise. Not Commanded to Love tbe Boxers. Rev. E. J. Poe, pastor of the Pleasant Garden circuit, writes as follows in trie Cliarlotte ut server: To my mind you have failed to give any satisfactory reason why the snissionaries should not be indemnified for the loss of life and property by the Hoxers, and there has no reason boon given why they should not unito in demanding indemnity for their losses. It would require a fearful wrenching of any correct interpretation of Christ's Sermon on the Mount to make it mean that these Christian missionaries should sit down and fold hands when their fellows have been foully murdered and their prop erty swept away, "he "love your enemies and "turn the oth er cheek" teaching does not ap ply to such efforts to have law and order maintained.

"Dr. Gatling, the inventor of the 'Gatling Ran' and other deadly in strument, of war, has now invented a plow. TbU comes as near as tbe doctor can to fulfill the prediction that 'they shall beat their svrords in to plow shares, and their spears into pruning hooks ; cation shall not litt ops sword seal net nation, mithcr shall they learn wr any more.' " I poo the occasion of his visit to Raleigh, something like ten years ago, Ur. Gatling, inventor of the Galling gun, told bis lifetime friend, Mr. Pulaski Cow per, that the inven tion of bis famous death-dealing gun bad done more to prevent war than nythiog else, lie said the only way to end wsr is to make it so ter rible that men would be induced ti arbitrate their differences, and the more deadly the arrangements of war the sooner tho world would come to arbitration instead of shoot ing at a meant of adjusting differ ences. If Dr. Gatling't love for peace bat enabled him to make a plow that will prove at great a bless ing to the farmer as bis goo has proved a terror to the sold tors, he will be the greatest benefactor of his day.

In the Pall Mall Magazine Si Robert Hall sprayt some Cold facts on tbe wild theories about tne p's- sibilitv of sirnaline to Man. Lven mder the most favorable circam stances, which can, In fact, never he oaite rettliz jd. the distance between the earth and Mart cannot be nod ex 33,500,000 miles. It msy. Indeed be said that :J5.000,()00 milet is near ly the lowest value to which the dit Unce can decline under tbe presen condition of the orbits, and this can only occur when the opposition takes place, close to Angust 20. We may mention that when the first satellite of Mrs was discovered by Professor Mall on Aouuat 17, 1S77, the dis tHoce from tbe planet to the earth was 30,000,000 miles, which was stil a million miles over tun lowest ill- tii nee to which It could link with the concurrence of the best condi tions. The question then arises at to the kind of signal which could be transmuted scioss a distance' of 35,000,000 miles. A building as big as St. 1 stil t cathedral on our satellite would alxmt represent tbe size of the small est visible ohj' Ct on the moon. We therefore infer that a building would have to he 150 times as long and 150 times as broad as St. Paul's to he discernible as the smallest point on Mars. Assuming that there were inhabitant! on Mart who were desi rout of making signals to the earth by the waving of a flag, that flag would hardly bo distinct enough for such a purpose unless it wore at east ten times as long as tho small est visible point and had breadth in proportion. We are thus led to the conclusion that a Ihg, tay some 300 miles long aud 200 miles broad, or perhaps about as arge as Ireland, would be necessary for the pnrposo. I we could miRgino a tltg of these colossal dimensions on a tlag pole, say 500 miles long, and if tbe Mtr tians availed themselves of the next favorable opposition, say in 1009, to make arrangements for waving this colossal flag to and fro, and if some of our most, skilful astronomers, provided with tbe very largest and most perfect telescopes and situated on tho loftiest mountains on which observatories have been placed, were to be stud vine tbe surface of Mar, they might, I grant, perceive the waving of tbe Hag and might pos sibly be able to receive certain indi cations therefrom. lx)t ns suppose that the signaling power of wireless telegraphy had been advanced to such a perfection that it was possible to transmit a signal across a distance of 8,000 miles that is to say, across a dis tance equal to the diameter of the earth. I tbink it will bo admitted that this is a very liberal supposition. I he moon is; however, at a distance of about 30 times the earth's diara etcr, and therefore, supposing that M arcont s wa vet could be tent acrotS the earth's diameter, yet to bo ap preciable at the distance of the moon, which is 30 timet greater, tho mten sity of those waves would have to be not merely 30 times, but 30 times 30--that is, the etliciency must be 900 times as great as I havosuppes ed. In other words, even if the whole earth were brought witbin tbe domain of wireless telegraphy, tbe system would ttill have to be im proved 000 timet as much again be fore tbe moon could also be brought within tbe sphere of influence. And now let ut apply this reasoning to Mare. I have shown that at its very closost approach Mart must still be some oo.ooo.ouu miles from our earth that is to say, even under the most favorable circumstances the ruddy planet it at a distance irom us wnicu must do more man 4,000 timet at great as the earth's diameter. Even if wireless telegra phy attained the -utmost perfection that I snppoee even in most sanguine advocate conld pos sibly dream of, yet tbe etliciency of the apparatus would have to be in creased a thousandfold and then a thousandfold again and finally mul tiplied by another 10 before an ap preciable signa could be transmitted to Mart.

Tbe totsl amount of the conscience fund in the Treaetiry was 209,- (147-55 at tbe close of business on Friday, March 15. The account was opened In September, 1811, the first contribution being f I tent by a man from iew i ork Mate. A record was kept of the matter hut it was many years before anoth er conscience ttricken individual rx bihited a disposition to swell the sum. Id fact it was not nntil 1SG1 soon after the breaking out of the civil war, that there was received $0,000 in bonds, accompanied by itatermmt that the turn had long been due the government and the remittance wst prompted by con science. This, it is said, gave the fund Ut name. It bat since re miinrd open, and the amounts re ceived are covered into the genera Treasury as a miscellaneont receipt, and may be nsod like other assets of tbe lreasnry for any purpose that Congress may deem proper. Remittances are received almost weekly; occasionally the receipt are two or three week, and as rule, the letters are not signed. frequently they are tigned by clergymen at the request of peni tents. At nearly all tbe communi cation! are anonymous, acknowledg ments are made through the local press. the smallest amount ever receiv ed wat a two cent stamp, tbe sender explaining that be bad used a can culled stamp to prepay postage on a letter, iso money bat ever reached the fund from the hundreds of peo pie in olllcial life who nse penal'y envelope to carry on ptivato corre tpondenco. r rom LoodoD camo the largest contribution H,250. Some one n the Presbytery of St. Paul tiant- mltted through tho American con sul general to the State Department, and thence to tbe treasury, this amount. There was no reason as signed for this pricking of con tcience. A great many of the letters ac companying the remittances are preserved. Tho majority of corres pondents either give no explanation or content themselves with very brief sta'ements of the reasons for the return of the money. The con ribntors are chiefly people who nave defrauded tbe government while acting as its agents orofliccrs, or who have evaded the internal revenue taxes or custom duties. The men and women who have touched the government in a slight way are generally beard from soon after a religious revival in their im mediate neighborhood. A department clerk wrote "A clear conscience softens the hardest bed and as I am a poor gov ernment clerk my bed is very hard and needs much softening ; so I herewith return 12 cents overpaid me last payday, and, besides, I have loafed a good deal lately." Una of the letters which had a genuine ring was received in lssb j from an officer who signed himself John L. Markman." lbe letter read : "Find check for $100. I will briefly explain why I send it. 1 have been in the United States service many years, and a part of the time with rauk which entitled me to two servants. I drew pay for two, but actually had but one. It is the common practice of officers to do this, and tne paymasters are awaro of it. I entered the army poor and tick too poor, in fact, to get aloojf welj without a clear con science ; hence the check." Another writer sajt : "Years ago sum of money wat eft in my hands which belonged to tbe government. I wat instructed by the department to which it bo longed to retain it nntil a rtjuibition wat made for it. This requisition has never been made, and probably never will. At the money is not mine I tend it with interest $126.50. Washington Correspond ence New York Sun. The Empire State of the South. There is Something attractive in measuring tho State of Texas with other States and sections of the Union as well as European empires and kingdoms. There has been late ly a revival of the talk of dividing Texas into six States, a tight that was reserved her by the treaty of annexation, but it will never be done. Tbe Texaos are proud of the immensity of their Commonwealth, and hold to tho faith that in tho fu ture it will take New York's place as the empire State cf the I'oion. Texas will not be divided. Tho old political reasons for such divisl m no longer exist, although it would be a couvenionce for tho Democrats to have twelve Texans in the United States Sooate rather than two. Rut the sentiment of Texat is against di vision of the State even into two States.

After his third rapture tbe "riot set whs read to the attendants, hut a fourth time he got awsy, leaving no traco of mischief behind. Again he fled to Fort Wayne, and there tho hospital authorities found bun. Alter bis return the superintend ent began quizzing him as to the manner oi escape, and the patient laughingly asserted that it was by means oi a past key. The patient was so elated over the discomfiture of tbe attendants that he was will ing to describe the process. Kvcry attendant has a pass key of pecnliar make and he flattered the attendant to believe that he could make a per fect picture of bis key. Tbe attend ant humored him, and the patient made two sketches, one of which he concealed, while he surrendered the other. Some time before he had found a piece of a case-knife in tho yard attached to the hospital, and he stolo a small piece of a three-cornered file in tbe engine room. It was part of his duty to assist in carrying food to the patients, and upon en ering the kitchen be always com plained of feeling cold, and whilo warming himself behind tho range he placed the knifo blado on the leated surface.
