TOUId o has drivon out the spirit of old-fogyism, and is now following in tho wake of ihe world's progross. Tast 8t. Louls is filled with trains, wnd the forrymen lhave their hands full, and aro ronping & rich lharvest. No Joubt that the spirit of the elder Wiggins looks down on this moving panorama with satisfaction, but, at tho samo time, makes o scowl at tho immense piles that ‘in turn will hold tho spans of tlio iron bridgo that isto bo. Bt. Louls dow’t do things in & hurry, for sho liag 50 long boen acoustomed to the movement of thoe river current that sho has nog fully compro- hended tho thunder of tho rolling train ss it crosses the continont. But she Las given up tho {dea of thoburning of railrond-bridgos,and in timo will rojoico in one of her own. In 1855 tho writor of tnis, as & momber of the Gonoral Assombly, voted for a law pormitting abridgo at this point. Almost twonty yoars have come and gono, and yo this objoct Is only in progross of sccomplishmont, ‘Then tho Wiggina Forry Fought tho idea, and St. Louis fought all the up- river towns that desirod the rond to cross this strenm,—a stroam frozen up in winter, and ofton with low watorin summor ; and yot 8t. Louis clung to tho old forry. Tho bridge s making slow headway, but the oxcavation for tho tun~ Bol through thio eity is maling good progross, and in timo tho trade and travel West and South- wem. will bo permitted to paos without check. This ufternoon the eitizons cscorted the par- tyin carringos to Shaw's Gardons, Lafayotto Park, Town Grove, and tho Fair-Ground. BHAW'S GARDEN Is tho gom of the city, and probably the most complete thing of the "kind in Awerica, with its fruits, flowers, snd immongo groon-houses filled with tropical treos and plants. Latayetto Park is yot in its infancy, and, with fow yoars $o grow its trees, will be ono of the best porks in the conutry, Town Grove coutaing the city reservoir, and 18 o grove almost in its native “condition. The Fair Grounds have so often beon described that no space need be do- votad to that topic, as the world knows that the Bt. Louis Fair is tho largost thing of tho iud in tha country. JuLy 23.—Thia morniug the party broakfast at Bodalin, 180 milos weat of St. Louis, on tho Mis- nouri Pacific Raitrond. Wo now turn south over the Missouri, Kausas & Texas Reilway. The . country f rolling and comparatively woll sottlod. Tho villages show thrift, and tho country docid- od progross. Tho party dined at Shell City. This in tho place for tho feeding of cattle on tho Btock traing on loaving for the Tast, it being 25 milos east of tho Kaneas lino. Theuco to Venita Is & fine, mlhu;{ couutry, protty well dotted with tottloments. Wo huve enterod TIUE INDIAN COUNTRY iwenty-soven milos, nud night has closed in, and for 800 miles tho train makes ity night-jour- aey through long strotchos of prairio locked nup from settlomont aud shut out from the indus- iries of tho world,—the hunting-ground of wild Indian, JuLy 23.—Tho party brankfast at Denison, 6 milos south of the Red River, aud that distanco sutside’ tho Indian country, and in the Stato of Toxns, Wo now meat civilization. for the daily press is planted horo, and 'the business of the world moves on, ‘The party is mot by n dolegas, ton of tha citizons, for our breakfsst is a com=~ plimont of tho mnow city, now counting its 1,000 goulx, and f‘ul but a littlo mora than a year old. 1t may well bo called tho now wonder, Wo are noy in the GUEAT COTTON ZONE, whore goninl skics and u most Iuxuriont soil givo to the hand of jndustry most wonderful returny. After dispoting of tho broakfast, which was mont bountiful one, and which the husgry pog- rovgors hud an appetito to appreciate, the party wers formally wolcomed to the new city and the Btato of Toxas. "The peoplo_hero aro sonsitive on the subjeet of politics, and appear to wish to have the recollections of the past wiped out. What thoy now need i willing hands and monoy to dovelop tha cloments of wealth that nuture hag given to this soil and climate. They wore lonsad to kuow tiab this party Wworo nok carpot- aggers or politicians, but simply tho tenchers In tho broad-field of rural pursuite, and_whose prosout object was to sco the country aud loarn somothing'in rogard Lo its resourcos, After an Tour in filendly greoting, wo continued our way south over the Toxus Central Railroad sonio 7 miles to DALLAS, ono of the old towns of Northorn Texas, that claims to bo thirty yours old, and to have 7,000 to 8,000 inbabitants, ‘It is a plnco of cousider- ablo trade in whont, cotton, aud csttle. Last fFoar 20,000 bales of cotton wero sout from this sation, At this timo tho cotton-crop, though backward, promises' to be a fair one.

Laounds near the eug aro sold at o high figure, €60 to 8160 por acro, b to 10 miles wut; 5 to 820 for unimproved land; 825 to 60 for im- proved, dopouding on the size of the farm and stato of the improvements. A farm muy boe aighly acres, or a longue of 3,300 ncros, Thore aro TWO QUITE DISTINGT wvarieties of soll : Ono iu tho black waxy, and tho other the bleck sandy, The former is a closo compact eluy, that I should judgo to b very dif- ficult to plow, aud, wheu plowed, would depend very much on a rainy season for o nraP. 1 ob- sorved this fuct, that the cotton was planted on tho biack saudy woil. I do uot sy that no cot- tou was plunteid on the black waxy soll, but I did uot obseryo any. I should Judgo that the black sandy soil was a good, pliablo, casily-worked soil, aud very superior for a crop. The aarly corn it fully glazed, and T ssw somo of it out and in shoclk ; 'at tho same timo, some uf tho Iate-planted was nol laid by, Cotton is the great staple of ocultuge. Whest aud corn yleld firut-rate, but the want of foncing is in the way of oulture. 'I'horo aro a fow hodges of tho Qange-orange, which is o native tree here, and ia tho rimber used for wagons and carrisges, The Jime in this soil dostroys the palnt and ruins the oalt-timbor wheu put in & wagou-wheol, and thero iv no othor timber so valuablo for thls purposo o3 this Osage-orange, or, as it is called, Dol 1'ARO, Tho timber 1a all small in sz, and It 1s sel- dont that you seo o treo two foot In diamotor.

A NEW DACE OF MEN 18 roquired to improve this condition of things, aud make Toxas what it ought $o bo, ono of the gordon placos of tho world. Jury 24.—Wo lott Dallas Iast night, and this morning took broakfast in Donison.

Whon hodgos aud orchards, gardons and school-houses, sbull bo approciated, Toxas will bo = ploasant land; but Toxns lacks school-honsos and entorpriso, and itis to be hn’lmd that both of thoso will soon bo supplicd. 'ho Red Rivor ismnot o lnrgo streswm at thie point of crossing, nor is thoro any sign of civil- Teation, Tho Injian. dovs Kot couct tecloty sate ‘whon intont on taking scalps or begging for cold victuals, and ho slinks away from us s does his own coyoto, The erzy have, on moro than one occaglon, discusac TIE INDIAN QUESTION, S and thoy appoar to boagrood on the point ; to give oach Indian family a farm, eay 160 ormora acres ; goll tho romaindor of the Innd for o common fund, that may bo divided nmou;f them, and make thom subgorvicnt to all tho_laws that our poople are compelled to oboy. It the Indinn caunot maintain himsolf on his land, as othor poople do, wo should troat them na suvagos, and punish thom for thoir erimos. Tho past an prosont Indian polioy is & policy looking to tho ontiro acstruction of all tho Indian tribos. It is time that somo humano law should b intorposed to mave thia romnant of wild people, to bo moulded into socioty by patient industry. But, so long as contractors are allowed to swindlo theso Indians, and 8o long as wo have an Indian Bureau, B0 long will the worlk of decination go on, and so Jong will tho whito peoplo bs eubjoct to tho barbsriam of thoso snvages. Tho Red River is not an inviting stream, and tho country along its bordors is of little value. ‘Wa hinve bofore us 800 miles of country under the control of tho Indinn tribes. At a fowof tho stations aro FAINT ATTEMITS by the Indiansto cultivato tho Roil; but, ag X liave boforo statod, the Indian avolds tho society of the whites, and in all this 800 miles wo did not soo & hundred Indians, aud tho most of theso wore oithor Lulf-breod white or half-brood nogro and Indian, At Caddo, thosecond station north, wo met tho first natives.

For about a yoar after his mar- ringe Brigham cohabited with hor, and acted with some dogros of kindncsa aud attontion. During that timo he supported hor and hor chil- dron, but not in a manner proportionate to his monns or to hor station inlifo, _After a yoar, for Bomo roason unknown to her, Drl§hnm bogon & systomatio courso of noglnot, unkindnoss, oruol sud inhuman treatmont, flnally deserting her, and salistying hor that ho no longor entortainod the slightest facling of affection or roapect for hor, fgnh:st hor remonatrances ho removed hor to & farm ownod by him four milos from Salt Lako. Bho was forcod to livo ou tho farm threo yoars and & half, and compelled to perform man- ‘ual Jabor and the most menial services to livo, The only comlm'niun ‘which he allowed hor was hor mothor. Hor mothor worked until her health wna ruined. Then Brigham objected to her mother remaining any Iongor on the place. During the complainant's’ forodd rosidenco on tho farm Brigham rarcly visited her; tho visita weoro from a fow minutes to o half an hour in longth, On euch occasions he treated hor with studied nogloct and contompt, tolling hor that his visita were not for hor but for tho purposo of supervising work onthe farm. The com- plainant swears that Brigham appropristed tho ontiro proceds of her labor and that of hor mother. Bho waa restrictad to tho cosraest and ‘moat mengro fare, and bad to dress in a mannor wholly unsuited to her position. Hor childron wero compolled to fa in rags. In tho fall of 1872 Brigham removed hor to 8alt Lako City. 8ho lived in lus house until sho was oonstrainod, by hor destitution, fooblo hoalth, ond fear of violonce, to vacatoit, Blio say s that Brighom Loy o most vindictivo disposition, though sho declares ho never visited Dier while sho was in his house at 8alt Lake. On sevoral oceaslons, howover, sho enllod upon him at anothor ono of Lis housos in Balt Lako City, and besought him to farnish her with wearing spparel or give hor the means to pracure it. Ho nnswored hor entrectios with tho most offonsivo longuage, and only at mest distant intorvals sinco fifin 2all of 1872 furnished her with o few nrticles, Thoywere not sufficient In quality or quantity for _hor subsietence and that of her children, and Lo procure tho common necessa- rlos of 1lfo eho has boon forcod to constaut and sovoro manual labor. Mra, Young furthor affirms thet for the past four years slio has boon in_dolicata health, not it to porform any labor without sufforing great nin, aud is in constant dangor of permanent Binousc. It was nocessnry that sho should have suitable food nnd medicinoes, and the services of B physicinn. Sho had repeatedly besought Brig- Lam for medical attondance, but ho has always refused to provide it for hor; in consequonco of his rofusal she has suffered great montal and bodily anguish ; boen compelled to rely sololy on tho DEHHIX of friends, 'I'ho only ‘modical sttondanco which sbe hns recoived sinco bLor marriago has been within the last months, from o physician whoso services wero rouderod with- out pocuniary recompouse. The complainant further nssorts that in May 1ast Brigham informed Lior that he would never again contributo to-hor support, and she must hencoforth rely sololy upon her oxortions. Bhe allogos thot Brigham was and is the ownor of vast wealth amouuting to $8,000,000, and thathe 1ias an incomo of 40,000 & month. Sho oys that Lo ooeupics o very promiuont station in tho pocloty of the Torritory, and holds various positions of trust aud honor, among othors that of prophot, scer, revelator, and Prosident of the Olurch of Josus Christ of Lattor-Day Bainta. 8ho allogos sho has boen compolled to sacrifico such furnituro and housohold articles as sho has obtained by hor own exortions in order to live, Bho furthor allogos that, in consoquence of Brifihnm’fl treatmont, sho has beon rondored mis- orablo, ond that she and Brigham cannot live in poaco aud union togother, and that tholr mutual ‘welfare roquires a soparation. Bho swears sho has agreed to pay solicitors and couneel a reasonable compongation for their services, and that she kuows of no moans to comply with hor ongagement othor than_ thoso undor the control of tho Presidont of tho Church of Josus Obrist of tho Lattor-Day Sniots. Bhe thinks 20,000 Is o rongonable sum for their ser- vices. Sho further shows that sho is without o home, and stopplng at s hotol in Salt Lake. Bho thinks that it will m(ém.ru $1,000 a month to do- fray hor oxponscs, She Srnvu that Brigham may o ordorad o pay hor during the pending of this suit tho sum”of 31,000 s month from the date of tho filing of hor bill, and that ho be re- quirad to pay her_solicitors s preliminary foa of not loss thun $6,000, snd upon the flual docree of the Court thejfurther sum of $14,000, a8 woll as tho costs of court. Bho asku that the boudu of mntrimony betweon the complainant and the Prosident of tho Church of Jesus Christ of Lat- ter-Day Saints bo forover disgolved, and .that o portion of tho catate of tho dofondant, smount- ng to $200,000, be sob asido for tho ‘bonofit of tuo complainant ; furthormoro, sho wants sioch other and furthor reliof as tho oquity of her case mny warrant and to the Oourt may seem moot. 8ho closos by neking that Brighem Young bo compollad o appenr bofore the court at s cor- tain timo under » certain penalty, thore to an- swor all quostions that may bo put to him, In conolusion, Mrs. Young says that she over will over pray. 3 Malcom Graham swesrs thot in June and July he frequently visited Drs.

Wife=Murdor and Suiclde fn Philne aclphin, From the Philudelvhia Press, Aug. 1. Tho vicinity of Hooond and South stroots wag startled last night by an alarm from tho Louno of Charloa G, Herring, 600 South Socond stroot, that a murdor had boon committod nb thnt placo, and large crowds soon collacted around the door- way to learn the full partionlars. bout & quarter past ) o'clock Mr. Charles G. Horring, donlor in carpols, went up stairs to the third gtory, supposing that, na’lo had honrd. notling from his son-in-law and daughter, thoy hind gone out together, as thoy were ofton in the habit of doing, They had proviously loft tho suppor table about 6'o’clook, and had gona up- stairs, Whon Mr. Horring entorod tho room ho saw Ldward Bhusteriter, hin sonelnelaw, * Jring on_ tho | ficor with his hesd in tho doorway loading to tho back room, nndnlnrfu pool of blood near by, Hin step-daughtor, Mary Bhustoriter's wife, wol- toring in ber goro, was coiled up and lying on the floor, with hor throat out from ear to ear. Notico wns immediately given to the polico do- partment, and a nutnber of officers woro dotalled to koap the houso oloar of inquisitivo visitors. A reprosentativa of the Preas immediatoly pro- cooded to the locality and visited the scone of the doublo tragedy. The couple had ocoupled two communicating rooms in the third atnfiv of the house. In tho front room, near the door, Iny tho body of the husband, with his hands atratch~ od ont and his face to tho floor. Noar hLis loft hand was a bottlo with blood-marks on the out- sido and contnining corrosive sublimato, He wag apparently & maen of good height, and was in his shirt-sleevos. His faco, on boing turued to tholight shovrad thet 1o had poisoned himself, as it had turnod to & purple color. From tho marks on the bed it was evident that ho had lain in it and fallon off. When his body was found tho broast was yot warm. In the back room the body of his wifo was found and_presented o sickening appearance, Hor hoad lay in blood, with n horrid gash in tho throat, oxtending from the front part of tho nock olonr through tho srtories, and sevoring tho ‘windpipo. From the appearancos of the neck ono would imagine an axo was usod instond of & -razor, This instrumont was aftorwards found, with a dent in tho blade. Bho was drossed in o light calico body snd black skirt, both of which wora covered with clotted blood. The horror experi- onced in witnossing guch o pight was slokening in tho estromo. Tho prominent oyes, tho oponod mouth, and the agonized look of tho murdered woman compolled the steadiost norves to quiver, On the door knobs marks of blood could bo plainly seon, asif madeby tho distracted womon inhor vain offorts to get outof tho room, Marks could also_bo secn trailing from tho swindow plainly indicating that sho bad rushod thore with the intention of orying for assistance, Thore waa also a alight cut on the right cheok. The position of the two bodies attho timo of discovery was such as to give the improseion that thoro bad boen a strugglo, which had bogun in tho doorway between tho two rooms. Irom all tho facts that could be gothored at a late hour last night it apponts that there had boon somo fooling of jonlously existing betwoen mna and wifo, It ‘was known - that thoy had quarroled occasionally, but it did not last very long. A fow days 8go, in o quarrol with him, sho asled him why he did not go to work instead of living on Ler fathor. Thoro waa no noise hoard of poraons wrang- ling, but, os the bodies wore both warm at - tho timo of tho discovery, it is thought that the crimo must haye boon committed about half- past 8 o'clock. It is supposed that tho husbsnd, after commiitting tho horrible deed, took tho bot- tlo of poison, intonding to ic on the bed. In support of this, tho frosh marks of his bioody haunds were plniulg' visiblo on tho sheots. Tho impressgion that his hoad made on the pillow could aléo b parceived, He evidently drank tho ruisou lying on tho bed, but whilo_it'was work- ng its donth-dealing way through his systom ho rolled on Lo the floor, in \vhlchlfwuillnn ho was found. The rooms, Ehuugh woll furmshed, woro in s disordered condition, A portion of his clothing was in oue part of the room, as though ho had thought of escaping from tho house, There wore thirty cents and two pockot- books also found noar. him, and this wag all tho monoy that could bo found. o was & Gorman, about 28 yenrs old, aud at ono time wasem- ployed in o steel foundry, but for tho last threo ‘months ho had been out of work. Mory, tho stop-daughtor of Mr. Horring, kept o carpot storo at 262 Bouth stroot, which was o branch of hor father's establishment. Bhe waa a finoly-formed and good-looking woman, snd it was_gonorally thought that tbo match was o 00d one, thoy having beon married in May last. er motfior and brother are in tho coqmr{, near Allentown, Pa.,, and wore immediately sont for. The murder is_generally thought to havo beon unpromeditated.
