BRIEF DISPATCHES.
The wires were down both
ways from Dallas yesterday eve-
ning and our dispatches are
therefore very meagre. Our
readers cannot expect us to fur-
nish them with the dispatches
until the railroad comes, and we
have more peifect arrangements.
retributive repartee, retaliates
now very’ happily by adopting
“Where the panther laid down,”
as the motto for its frontispiece,
which consists of a view of Fort
Worth, locomotives whizzing
by, near whose track lies a pan-
ther.
The Herald acknowledges the
compliment, sees the point, and
doffs the editorial beaver with
many wishes for the success of
the Daily Democrat—Dallas
Herald.
An honest confession is said
to be good for the s>ul; and if
the Herald and the city of Dal-
las in general lias any soulvwe
hope this confession, and others
that they will yet be compelled
%
to make, will prove beneficial
and efficacious. Pride 7tis said
goes before a fall, and the Dal-
lasites who have lorded it over
Fort Worth in such royal man-
ner, can now step down and out,
and chew the bitter cud of re-
morse. Retributive justice will
yet overtake many others be-
sides the Herald, and they will
.appreciate the notes of warning
so often uttered bv the Demo-
chat that they who builded up-
on the sand, should take heed
lest when the wind and waves
come, their foundation should
prove unstable. The storm has
came. Dallas is built upon the
sand, Fort Worth upon a rock.
But we will not hit them to hard
now that they are down, though
when we were down, they show-
ed us no mercy.
We thank the “Ilerald’Nfor its
graceful compliment to us, and
hope its future may' be as useful
and successful as its past.

was there by permission of the
owner. Gregg was arrested but
escaped.
Work on the East Line rail-
road is progressing satisfactor-
ily. Mr. McDonald, the ener-
getic contractor, is pushing
along with vim. The iron will
soon begin to arrive, when track
laying will commence. The lo-
comotive will also be here in a
short time.—Leader.

ing curiously at the almond-eyed
natives, and he was admiring
the wonderful exhibition. “Do

astonishment, “they don’t look

WHERE THE PANTHER LAID
DOWN.
Retributive Justice Overtakes the
Hferald.
The Herald is pleased to note
the increased prosperity of that
newspaper, the Fort Worth
Democrat, which nas commenc-
ed the issue of a daily edition in
the shape of a real newsy aud
spicy’ sheet of twenty’, columus.
The frontispiece is very pietu-
esque and appropriate as indu
eating the progress of our thriv-
ing neighbor, and was inspired
by a bit of fun we got off in per-
fect good humor last year on
the City of Heights, ou which
the citizens-wele pictured as sob
emuly holding a meeting to pre-
vent the news going abroad that
a panther had cpme out of the
bottom and lain down in the
street at night. Capt. Eph. Dag*
gett* one of the pioneers of the
frontier, was described as driv-
ing., down, a stake/to indicate
where “the panther laid down.”

gone over to the parsonage.”
“What’s going on over there?’’
asked the visitor. ‘AT hey’re
practicing for a strawberry fes-
val,” was the reply.—Danbury

suffering from a lack of rain.
Dallas has organized a social j It cares not for the injury' done

son has scarcely ever been in
Texas than this lias been, in all
portion^ of the State.--Comanche
Chief.

It is well known to every Tex-
an, and is being rapidly found
out by persons abroad, that paid
eoi respondents are sent to Tex
as by interested parties, to mis*
represent tlie condition of affairs
here, for the purpose, and with
the hope of deterring immigra-
tion to the State. As the Chief
truthfully states, “a more favor-
able season has never been
known,” and the only complaint
that has reached us has been
that of too much rain.
