CROP ITEMS.
We learn irom a party lately from tbe
Colorado and Brtsos bottoms tfeat tbe
planters there are in need of hands at the
£ re sent time to secure the cotton crop,
[undredt are being tecured every week,
but there it but little doubt that much ot
the crop will be loat for want of help, if
the weather provea unfavorable.
A party just arrived in our city from
tbe West, says in Medina county they
have a fine crop of corn, but grass it
wanting, while in Uvalde, tbe county
west ot Medina, the corn crop tailed, but
the grass now is in abundance.—[San
Antonio Herald, August 27.
We have had several good rains in the
last ten days, but they came too late to
be of any benefit to the cotton. This
section will not give over a half a crop of
cotton, but tbe corn crop is the best for
thirty years. The yield of eotton will
probably be half a bale to the acre. Corn
will average at least thirty üyj bushel*
to the acre in this county.—[Hearne
Press, August 23.
Tim cotiuu crop in this section it suf-
fering considerable injury from drought,
but a much better crop will be raised this
year than last notwithstanding. The
corn cfop is tho largest grown tor year*.
Immense quantities ot hay have been
cut and stacked this year. Our Texas
meadows are free to all who will take the
trouble to cut the bay and haul it.—

A Fight With the Indian*.
Editor Courier—Having jnst returned
from a trip to Wise county, I give yon
the particular* of the Indian fight which
occurred in the upper odge ot Clay
county not long since.
Some time in tbe latter part of July,
Mr. Dan Wagonar, of Wi«o county', bt-
becoming feartul that hi* horses were
in danger of being stolen from his
ranche, some nineteen mile* northwest
of Decatur, removed them to auotber
ranche, some Alteen mile* east of Deca*
tur, and the first night after their re-
moval they were all stolen and driven
off. Sheriff Stevens and his deputy,
Mr. John Hogg, immediately summoned
a possee of seven men to pursue the
(bitves, whom they were satiified were
white men, and at once set out upon the
trail, which tbey followed out ot Wiee
oounty and into Clay, finding tbe greater
portion of the horses along the trail.
When within a short distance of Post
Oak Springs, in Wioblta county, tbey
taw ftmr Indians just across a small
ravine from them, and knowing that
their numbers were sufficient to witb«
stand that number, they moved to a
better point tor observation, when, to
their aBtonisbment, instead of lour In-
dians, they beheld about ten times that
number. Knowing that flight was use*
less, tbey at once took position in the
ravine, and bad haidly done so before
the Indiaus charged them. After being
twioe repulsed, the Iudians seut their
bngler to the rear \ few paoes, and
when be sounded the assembly call, in
as good style a* ever was done by a
Federal bugler, the whole faoe of tte
earth teemed to swarm with, the
red devils. Mr. Hogtj says that
be supposes that tbe Indian* num-
bered nearly one hundred in 'all.
After a desperate fight of near an hour's
length sgainst more than ten to one, in
which Sheriff Stevens reoeived a severe,
though not dangerous, wound in the
thigh, the white men found that their
only safety Isy in flight, and abandoning

r horses and outfits, they at once set
out crawling do«n the ravine and
through prairie gulches for over a mile.
The Indians did not observe this man-
oeuvre and kept up their firing at tbe
place, where tbe unfortunate horset still
remained. The party or whites after
traveling over fitly miles on foot, reaobed
a ranche where they secured hores and
aame into Deoatur on Saturday night,

others bare-headed, and in a bad fix
generally.

mous system is kept up for Government
purposes? Why were not the above

dated and merged into tbe Third and
Fourth districts ? Simply because

it will keep up political power and tbe

"Gaet* We'd Belter Try Him."
Accidental expressions not unfre-
qnent y become great historical varieties,
and words thoughtlessly uttered at
times are positive forshadowings of
things to oouie, though he wbo utters
them may never be so unconscious of
tbe fact. Let us see.
When Horace Greeley, the lad, was
an applicant for some work to do in
offloe of Mr. Amos Bliss, down in
Poultney, Vt., many years ago, there
was a little i hesitation on the part of
some about having anything to do with
what then appeared to be so ungainly a
youth; but Mr. Bliss, with more peue-
tration than his friends, said: "Gue s
we'd better try bim!"
Prophetic words I Fifty years or more
have passed away since that event, and
now, notwithstanding tbe countess par-
tisan objections that were supposed to
interpose between bim and political buo-
oess, this tame printer-boy is become
the standard-bearer of a great party,
and the leader of a mighty political
movement which, in the interests of the
people, promises to revolutionize tbe
Government and give tbe Bepublio a
new leaae of life. "Guess we'd better
try Mm!"
Many had been hesitating to
aocept bim. Tbey did not like- his
antecedents, and were not altogether
sure that bis preseut 'attitude on some
vital questions—tbe tariff, for example
—was all that it ought to be ; bat in
these respects we are now under no
obligations, we are happy to say, to
write in the paat tense. The hesitation
and objections alike have given way to
oonfidence and aeal; so that there ia
nothing in the way to impede the
aorob, aider the leader, of the
_r great qnfestions affecting
our foreign relations, and be bas satis-
fied every Democrat that he is as trae
aa steel. This is tbe all-pievalling oon-
viotion amongst people outside of the
oamp-followers of tbe military junta at
Wasbiugton. On every hand, among
the honest masses, the sentiment is,
"Guess we'd better try him!"—Metro-
politan Reoord.—[Exchange.
Ths Comino Pops.—Tbe Gaastla
d'ltalia says:
Tbe most likely suooessor to the pres-
ent Pope is Ctrdinul Autouia Maria
Paneblaooo, of ths order of St. Franois.
He was boru a' Terranuova, in Sicily,
on tbe 14th of August, 1808, and was
made Cardinal by Pius IX in the con.
sistory of tbe 27th of September, 1861.
He has always protested great admira-
tton lor Pope Sixtus V, whose life was
his favorite study, and iu wbose cell be
lived. One day, while in a reverie, be
suddenly beard a knook at bis door, and
a voice told bim that he wouM be a Car-
dinal. This announcement did not sur-
prise bim; be merely replied, •' Lo
sapevo," and be will, suyo, tbe Gazetta,
doubtless say tbe same when he .'earns
that be bas been elected Pope. Cardi-
nal Paneblsnco oaoe ewe re before Con-
ova's monument to Clement XIV that
he would rest re tbe Order of the Jesu-
its to its former grostness; and this is
said to be the great ot jeat of bis life.
He is tbe iutimate friend of Father
Beokx, the General of the Order, but,
like his model Sixtus Y, be is exces-
sively reserved, carefully concealing
from every oue bis inteutious for tbe
future. He praises tho Syllabus, and
defends thn principle of infallibiliy with
extraordinary skill and tbeologioal
knowledge. At for Pius IX, he bas
thorough belief in the Cardinal sinoe a
young Italian girl prophesied tome
twenty years ago that the next Pope
would be a monk of the Order of St.
Francis. "Mystioal," concludes the
Gazetta, "as Savonarola, Faneblanoo is
the slave of a medieval Utopia which
moves bim to revive the Church of the
thirteenth century; and tbe Sooiety of
Jesus, which does not believe iu mys-
ticism, regards him with unxisty, tot
quite knowing whether he is u friend or
an enemy^"
A Fatal Lakb,—a ¿uhoe cor
respondent of ths San Fraucii-co IJul
leciu writes:
Some twelve or fourteen persona have
been drowntd iu this lake withiu the
past ten years; none of the bodies b vo
ever beeu recovered. Superstition, ever
ready to weave a sensation from nature's
laws, asserted that there was a douutful
mystery iu the non-recovery of tbe
drowned; that, in fact, a monster bad
bis abode in this fresh water sea, and
tbat tbe bodies all passed into bis ca
paoious maw. The true explanation of
this mystery never has beeu given. Tbe
non-appearance of the bodies is due to
three causes. Tbe first is the great
purity of the water and its consequent
lack of buoyanoy. Drowning is very
easy in it, for this reason, though I have
not while swimming iu it found any
more iban ordinary difficulty in sus-
taining myself. The second and main
oausa is due to the great coldness of ths
water. Even at this, the warmest sea-
son, the burlace water is as cold as the
drinker desires it to be, but it is warm
there compared with its temperature at
the depth of one hundred to two
hundred feet. It is as oold there as
tbe arotio beat of an ioebtrg. When a
body sinks in the lake to tbe depth re-
quired, it it frozen stiff. Tbe process of
oourse preset ves it so that tbe gas which
originates in the body from deoay iu
0:her water is prevented, and distension
checked. The body is tbus kept in a
state of greater specitío gravity tbaa tbe
water in which it is suspended, and
thereby prevented from rising at the
surface. The third cause lies iu tbe
great pressure of tbe pure water on any-
thing which is sunk to a great depth in
it. Corks placed on deep sea nets aie
pressed down in a week to half their
size, and one of tbe oldest residents of
the lake expiesses tbe belief thtt by the
time a man's body bus been suspended
tor a week at a deptb of about 200 leet
(it is not likely thai it reaches tbe cav-
ernous and almost fathomless bottom of
the great lake,) the compression of tbe
water bus reduced its sizi to that of a
child's. Doubt less the idea of uncofiiaed
suspension in such u " world ol water "
is not a pleasant one to contemplate,
but to be pressed into a solid mass and
suspended in a liquid coffin of ice tem-
perature is quite as p;«<sunt as inter
ment and mouldering in the ground.
At a spirit meeting tbe otber night, n
gentleman requested a medium to Bay
what amusements were most popular in
the spirit world. The reply was, "read-
ing our own obituary notices."
