“enlace of the Mexican Cen-
fral railroad is being felt. * ■’» E1
‘’ll'Xk’on'the depot* of this
♦ Mexican road is being push-
"r»ewith much activity in Paso del
v te w[nie numerous wide-awake
hnshiess men are looking for loca-
S in the vicinity, recognizing
be mportance of the ocaluy tor
»li kinds of trade. Among the
8 „na«sful of these are some par-
ses who are about to build a hotel
on the American plan. This, cer-
tainlv, is a necessity m ooi neigh-
k r oitv The track of the road
v s entirely finished for a distance
oTsiitymUes yesterday, and track-
uVers reached two mdes further.
The boarding tram is now located
nn the side track at the end of the
?or y sixth mile. The next water
‘ion* the route is at Lucero, sixty
eight miles from here, a spring
which the road cannot utilize be-
eause or its limited supply ot
water. San Jose, six miles further
than Lucero, will be au important
station. Here there is a large
l«keof the most delicious fresh
water, kuown to be the last ves-
tige of the copious river Carmen
tbat like few others, sink in places
beneath the surface, and then
again peeps in the air only to hide
aoaiu further on. At San Jose
lake this river ends, and where the
water gobs is a mystery. The
preseut improvements of this neat
statiou consists of an excellent
stock rauche of Dr. Samaeiego
and a hotel and billiard room kept
by Dan Joaquin Ace bo. Just in
the rear of the doctor’s residence,
a gem of a place, a hot sulphur
spring bubbles out. A bath-house
arrests some of this hot water and
famishes a luxury to the well and
a remedy to the invalid. Ou this
rauche from five to ten beeves are
killed daily, to furnish contractor’s
camps along the road. Much life
has been given to the place by the
addition of 150 men of the Twenty-
sixth Mexican infantry. The
store-house of the doctor is well
patronized, as well as the hotel and
bar of Mr. Acebo. We are in
hopes Governor Anthony will soon
give us an excursion to this de-
lightful place.
The Link also relates the follow-
ing case of iusabordination, which
is the characteristic of the average
greaser:
At Puerto del Chocolate, in
Chihuahua, south of Janes, there
was stationed a company of Mexi
can regulars, who were recruiting
after having scouted many mouths
and protected that district from
injury by Indian raids. Last week
some of the privates with a ser-
geant, after having imbibed too
much liquor, returned to camp at
night in a disorderly manner and
disturbed the slumbers of their
captain and lieutenant as well as
of the other soldiers. In their at-
tempts to quiet the inebriates the
officers were fired upon by them
and they in turn opened fire upon
them. The result of the unfortu-
nate fight was a fatal wound to
Capt. Jose Antonio Romero and a
serious wound to Lieut. Fortino
Gonzales. It is reported that the
sergeant and two soldiers Were
killed, but the truth of this is not
yet known. Thus again the great
weakness of the military, strong
drink, has brought sorrow to the
homes of the unfortunates.
We clip the following from the
Bryon special to the Galveston
News:

people, 2,229 of whom are Ameri- j

The nextlargt st ward,the seventh, j
has 2,954 to its credit, of whom 52o j

tion not native, the German eie ;

Irish come next, numbering 1,139 j
The white population foots tip 21,- !
156, and the colored 6,264. There !
are 14,638 men and 12,782 women j
in the city; so, surely, the latter j
have a right to claim a voice as to
how things go. There are 2,396 :
more white males than there are i
white females, while in the colored
list the females outnumber the j
males by 540. The population
within scholastic ages is 5.108, and
children of five years and under,
3,075. There are thirty seven octo-
genarians in the city. There are
more persons between the ages
of thirty and forty, the number
credited to this list be-
ing 4,255, against 3,721 for thirty-
five years and under, and 3,032
for tyy.^pty>five and under. Tne
eighth Wald has seven octogenari-
ans, and in that particular out-
ranks all the others, although the
seventh ward contains within its
bounds 435 persons over fifty
years old—more than any of its
neighbors, The ninth ward con-
tains the smallest population, 1376.
of whom only 224 are colored, and
of that number only eighry-tiiree
ar« males. It and tire eighth con-
tain each 311 foreigners, and in
this respect are behind all the
other wards. There are numbers
of other curiosities of the census
that could with time be followed
out and wrought into interesting
matter, bat the space of a news-
paper is too limited to admit of
drawing them out as fully as might
be desired;
From the Beaumont Enterprise
we clip:
At about midnight on Sunday
Mr. Brewer, the watchman at the
Reliance mill, discovered a man
engaged in cutting the main driv-
ing belt of the mill. Hedmetmrg-
ed his shot gun at the man, who
escaped, leaving a trail of blood
behind him. From that time un-
til Wednesday the name of the
man who had been shot was
shrouded in mystery, but by the
exertions of Constable R. W. Tev-
is it was discovered th it one John
Ennis was lying wounded at a
house near the mill, and circum-
stances connect him with the act
of destruction above mentioned.
The man, evidently through feai
of detection, had concealed the
fact of his wound, which is in the
thigh, and, not having had medi-
cal attention, it is in a bad stale
and may result fatally.
The Galveston News furnishes
the following information concern-
ing the building of the New York,
Texas and Mexican railway:
The wet weather has somewhat
retarded the progress of work on
this road, although good work has
been done in furthering the line,
despite the soaked condition of the
road. As yet no track has been
laid west of the Colorado river, the j
delay being caused by the non j
completion of the bridge. West
of the river, however, grading is
done fgr eight miles, while East
from Victoria the grading is fin
ished and ready for the iron. The
road is expected to be in running
order to that town by the 15th of
April. Count Telfener is now iu
Paris on business connected with
the road.

Said Jorges have been analyzed by Prof. Bergir, the great French Oculist, and
Carl Hollai (Ur, the German Oculist, and pronounced by the London College of Oo-
thamy to te the most perfect Glass in use, and having been on exhibition at ihe Ex-
position at Nashville, where they received the highest praise for superior qualities,
and1 are now offered for sale at
REASONABLE PRICES.
A practical optician will call and tit you with the first pair of glasses, after exam-
ining the nature of your eye, thereby avoiding the injure done by trying several purs
as is often the case by inexperienced persons who sell spectacles, which results some-
times in ruining the sight.
The superiority of these glasses consists in ihe chemicals, softening the light to
the eye, doing away with the tiresome sensation that is usually felt in using ordinary
glasses for an hour or more.
The medicinal properties contained in the glass make them as hard as a diamond
It will retain its polish and never become dull or dim, hence you will see as bright
and clear as at first.
The chemicals keep the glass as cool as ice—result is your optic nerves are always
cool, doing away with any feverish sensation to the eye.
These glasses have no equal tor night reading or sewing; with them you can
work alJ night, and the light has no effect on the eye, with no tiresome sensation
whatever, which necessarily continues to improve the eye.
