ot it, came down upon him like a tlious

The tool is known by his folly, but the
smart man is judged by the place where
lie takes his meals, and judging from the
number that “provender” at- the St
Nicholas daily, our city must be overflow-
ing with wise ones.
County court Is still ill session, hut its
attention is only taken up with civil
rases. In consequence thereof there is
an absence of the usual number of listen-
ers who frequent the court room when
criminal cases are being tried.
A communication from one ot our
prominent citizens, on the subject ot the
recent arrests for non-payment of occu
pation tax, is unfortunately crowded out.

small sum of 25 cents.
We have been asked the question, can a
child within the scholastic age, entered
at one public school, receive any benefit by
attending another school during the
scholastic year? Answer—We would re-
fer to article 3,762, school law tor 1879.
“A child within scholastic age entered at
one public school, shall afterwafd receive
no benefit of the school fund by attending
another school during the scholastic year.
The grim officials, the stern, unyielding
aspect of even-handed justice represented
by his royal highness, imparted the usual
grave and ancient decorum, yesterday,
as the reporter entered the holy precincts
of 1 lie city hall. The usual ingredient
captives was missing, whereupon Momus
adjourned, and “hands all around the
brand berry bush” was the melody that
soon floated to the breeze, from the unani-
mous throats of all present.
A heartless wretch the other day passed
by Malone, Hitt & Co’s., on Main street,
and noticing a negro in one of their bay
windows washing the glass, he went off
told that Col. Malone, while East, bad a
bronzed statue of himself made and was
then having it put up in his bay window.
Ho said it was just like the colonel, only
it needed whitewashing. Quite a number
went to see the statue, but when they got
there and saw the immense stock ot goods,
they forgot all about the statue.

again.
Mr. I. Goldberg and his most estimable

Col. W. C. Smith, of Cleburne, is at the
El Paso hotel. He was approached by a
representative of the Democrat last
night for the purpose ot an interview,
when the fire alarm unceremoniously ter-
minated the contemplated colloquy.
Last Friday night quite a number of
Misses Mary Sims ana Jessie Chappell’s

pleasantly. Music, vocal and instrumen-
tal, cards, etc., were the principal amuse-
ments of the evening.

torney, gave an informal party to a few

Col. C. T. Campbell, superintendent of
the Texas Express Company, is in the

tise another of their “old boss” sales,
which create so much mirth, and in which
the purchaser has as many chances as in
an ordinary lottery.
The social parly given at the residence
of E. M. Orrick on last Friday evening
was a most pleasant attain. The evening
was passed very pleasantly in social con-
versation and games. Only a limited
number of friends were invited, and those
who were so fortunate as to be among
the number will long remember it as one
of the most pleasant social treats of the
season.
Mr. Henry ltainboult, of the firm of
Messrs. Smith, Baker & Co., of Weather-
ford, passed through our city last evening
on his way to St. Louis to replenish his
stock of merchandise. Mr. ltainboult
stated to our reporter that his city, in
view of the early arrival of the T. & P.
railway, had overloaded its shelves with
goods. We fear many worthy Weather-
ford merchants will get left on the
Weatherford extension business.
The soiree given at Evans’ hall by Prof.
Ilageman and his class, on last Friday
evening, was really an enjoyable affair,
(notwithstanding the scarcity of music,)
and many of our most attractive young
ladies graced the hall with their presence.
Beneath the mellow lights, the hours to
the wee sma’, were danced away and in
the promenade “eyes looked love to eyes
that spoke again,” making many a sus-
ceptible youth’s heart flutter and take no
heed of time’s flight.

Some of Miss Lillie Kempmski’s young
friends, learning that her birthday was
near at hand, gathered a few of her most
intimate friends together, and surprised
her last Wednesday evening by filling her
parlor with a gay and festive company ot
her young friends. Miss Lillie was equal
to the occasion,and entertain her guests in
the most charming manner. At 11 o’clock
the quests were agreeably surprised when
Mrs. K. threw open the dining room door
and invited them into the dining room
where a table was groaning under its load
of rich viands, and they did justice toward
relieving the table of its burden. Every
thing went as merry as a marriage bell.
At a late hour "the guests dispersed for
their several homes, after wishing Miss
Lillie many more such birthdays.
THE NEW DEPARTURE.
—Mrs. C. D. Brown is re-
ceiving her new fall goods,
consisting of new style hats
and bonnets for ladies,
misses and children? and a
full line of millinery goods:
also, velvets, silks, satins,
plushes, ribbons, flowers,
plumes, feathers, orna-
ments, combs, brushes and
toilet articles, zephyrs,
Five to Ten Cent Counters.
In the larger cities, when any one wants
bargains, they hunt up stores where the
5 and 10 cent counters exist. This simply
means that on those counters, the pur-
chaser often finds articles worth three or
tour times the prices asked at those coun-
ters. This idea, however, was thought
impracticable at Fort Worth, from the
fact that our retail merchants “actually
pay more” for their goods than the five and fans laces, embroidcrie S,
ten cent counter prices bring the dealer, - -
and therefore, none ot our merchants
dared to attempt to carry out this plan.
However, during his sojourn in New
York and the Eastern cities, our wholesale
druggist, L. N. Brunswig, devoted an en-
tire month in carefully studying up the
markets on such articles as pertain to
the drug and fancy goods trade, purchas-
ing in “enormous quantities” from manu-
facturers, direct, and importing himsell
from Europe such articles as generally go
through several “handlings" previous to
reaching the consumer, so that we can
now possitively assert that the five and
ten cent counters will be in “full blast”
henceforth, at Bruns wig's drug store.
Call and examine same.
Tlio Tap Tupped.
About nine o'clock last night, as we
were sitting in our sanctuary deeply med-
itating oyer past events, we were aroused
from our dreams into the realities of life,
by the dreaded alarm of lire. With the
speed ot ltarus, we quickly made haste to
tiie scene ot the conflagration, and there
found tlie Waco Tap, a dance hall of no
little renown, in the embrace of the fiery
element. The origin of the lire was caus-
ed from the explosion of a lamp in the
room ot one of the, inmates, by the name
of Kitty Mason, which ignited the bed
clothes and swept through the entire
building, barely giving the inmates time
to gather together their wardrobes. Only
a few articles were saved, and they tliem-
selyes narrowly escaped with their lives.
The building was owned by a courtesan
by the name of Lou Bennett and run by
Bob Brown. It, together with the house-
hold furniture, worth about three thous-
and dollars, with an insurance of fifteen
hundred dollars in the North Texas, was
totally destroyed. The hook and ladder
company responded promptly to the
alarm, and did some very efficient work.
The steamer was somewhat tardy in get-
ting there, and after reaching the fire was
unable to obtain water.
The house occupied by Ida Morgan was
deluged with water, and she loses some
by removal and damage to furniture.
The owners ot the Texas and Pacific
wagon yard are losers also by destruction
to fence and stalls ; also a large quantity
of bay stored in their yard.
Court AVartinl Material,
Among the distinguished arrivals in
our city yesterday, were General U. B.
Sweitzer, and Colonel S. B. M. Young of
the Eighth cavalry, and Lieutenant J. II.
Giflord of the Second artillery, United
States army, who are en route for Fort
Griffin to attend court martial. The court
convenes next Wednesday and will ac-
commodate all who may be brought be
fore it. Besides the above named gentle
men, who have been detailed on this
court, are 1st Lieut. F. L. Davies, 2d
Lieuts. Theodore Moser, jr., and L. R. N.
Getty; also Assistant Surgeon J. L. Pow-
ell, of the medical department, with 1st
Lieut. W. H, Kell, Twenty-second infant-
ry, judge-advocate of the court. These
gentlemen will leave by a private convey-
ance tor Fort Griffin to-day.
Tivoli Hall.
Without indulging any in flattery and
not departing from strict truth, we can
say without any fear of contradiction that
this hall stands pre-eminent as a saloon,
and if any one would relish a good cold
glass ot beer, a rare drinlc of Kentuck’s
best, or a lunch to suit the most fastidious,
we would cheerfully recommend this fa-
vorite place of resort. Don’t mistake the
place, almost directly opposite the Demo-
crat office on Houston street. It
Collese Soiree and lawn Party.
The friends of Fort Worth, the lovers
of pleasure and the well wishers of the
new college, anticipate a highly enjoyable
time at the soiree and lawn party to be
given next Tuesday evening. The best
speaking and musical talent of the conn
try have been engaged for imprompu
service on that occasion. Come every-
body, and bring your wife, daughter,
sweetheart, “as the case may be to the
college jubelee.”
corsets and vnderwear, in
short, every thing pertain-
ing to ladies and children’s
attire• Mrs. Brown’s stock
for the ensuing fall will be
much larger than hereto-
fore and she respectfully in-
vites the attenticn of her
friends and all buyers.
A Joy to Bibulists.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever, so
is a feast of pleasure provided by the Occi-
dental, the name bestowed by James
Conners upon his saloon on the corner of
Second and Main streets. We have never
seen a saloon that contributed in a greater
measure [and variety to a sense of the
beautiful. The arrangement of the bar is
of a most tasteful design, glistening with
handsome silver and costly glassware.
Pictures are pendent on the walls while in
the rear portion of the house are large and
well appointed billiard and pool tables
with the greatest convenient and of the
latest make. J im is a caterer to the pub-
lic of long experience, and is already well
known to many ol our citizens who have
had occasion to visit the Occidental and
who have tested the excellence and purity
ot his well selected stock of liquors. It
Greenbiu'k tinthering.
The Greenback club in White settle-
ment had a gathering at Live Oak creek
yesterday. The attendance was not as
large as was anticipated, but the strictest
attention was paid to the discussion,
which was conducted by Capt. Daggett
and Judge Fleming for the Grecnbackers,
and Uncle Jimnfie Allen and Mr. Paddock
in behalf of the Democracy. Quite
number of ladies were in attendance, who
seemed to take a deep interest in the de-
bate, and who provided all present with
one of the most sumptuous repasts, we
have seen spread in a long time. The
writer acknowledges his obligations due
Nrs. Henry Thompson, Mrs. Kobt. Tanna-
hill, and others for courteous attentions
A review of the speeches is unnecessary.
Mysterious Disappearance.
At an late hour yesterday evening, Mr.
Walter Huffman, a prominent citizen and
member of the firm of Ellis & Huffman,
lett his store in a buggy, stating that he
was going after his wife, who was visiting
at a point in the suburbs of the city.
Since that time lie has not been seen or
heard of, causing his friends great appre
hension lest some terrible fate had befal
len him, some fearing that the horse had
ran away causing his injury or death, and
others thinking he had been waylaid and
murdered and robbed. At this hour (2:30
a. m.) squads of men are scouring the city
and suburbs for# traces ot his where-
abouts.
Merchant's Exchange.
We would again call the attention ol
our beer drinking readers to the popular
saloon on First street, between Main and
Houston streets, known as the Merchant’s
Exchange, under the proprietorship of
our genial German friend, Mr. John Huff-
man. A recent acquisition to this popu
lar resort is a lunch stand, fitted up in the
most convenient styie where everything
imaginable to satisfy the inner man can
be had at a most reasonable price. Call
in and see for yourself. The Merchant's
Exchange, don’t forget the name or loca
tion. It
Two of » Kind.
Yesterday evening about three o’clock
as has been the custom for several days
two men by the name of Bill York and
John Hannigan were together on the
square, otherwise known as the field of
blood, and displayed their pugilistic abili-
ty by punching each other at a rate per-
fectly regardless. Officer Thomas happen
ed on the field ot action but not until both
were pretty well bruised up. They gave
bonds for their appearance in the recor-
ders court to-morrow morning.
Downfall In Beer.
There was a downfall of beer lust night
caused by the runaway of Anheuser’s
beer wagon. .They went at a break-neck
speed around the square and took* several
turns around the courthouse. Judging
from the way they confined themselves to
going around Thomas & Werner’s con-
tract, a person would naturally suppose
it suit-ed them. -No serious damage was
done.
—Oh! I’m going to buy my new dress
this week from D. C. Bennett’s large and
well assorted stock.
the Photographer.
On our rounds we dropped in at the new
art gallery on Main street, and found Pro-
fessor Ben Cobb, the well known Dallas
artist, in charge. The gallery is really
credit to Fort Worth, and is equal to any
in the state, being fitted up with all the
latest improvements in photography.
Those wishing any work done in that
line, will do well to visit the new art
gallery.

A brilliant and succcsstull operation
was performed on last Wednesday by
Drs. Ansell & Booth, assisted by Dr.
Broyles, on Judge Walker, county judge
of Stephens county. In the year 1870 the
judge was gored by a wild steer, his
face was torn and the right wing of his
nose almost destroyed. A cartilaginous
formation about f of an Inch In the right
nostril prevented his breathing entirely on
that side. The doctors extirpated It en
tlrely and now the judge can breathe as
well on one side as the other. We con-
gratulate him on his good luck in tailing
into such good hands.
