In these days when deception has be-
come a practice, alas, too universal, and
corruption has invaded all classes and
all trades, thousands of bogus pianos are
palmed off upon purchasers, and too
much caution cannot be used to secure
a genuine article. Buy from well-known
makers, and from conscientious dealers.

In a Muss.
Last night the police stumbled
over a negro and a white man, who
were having a bit of a row all to
themselves. It turned out that the
participants were no less distinguish-
ed characters than Gen. Andrew
Jackson and Esq. William McQuirk,
the latter late of Ireland, and the
former descended from a lineage that
may once have flourished on the coast
of Guinea. Mac and the General, so
it appears, commenced at Bering’s
Mills, and finished off in the city by
a friendly embrace.
matter of the brothers DeMorse and
Sandy Davis for mule stealing. Able
arguments were made by counsel on
both sides, Judge Duncan represent-
ing the State and Col. J. W. Jones
the defence.
The result was the binding over
of the DeMorses in $750 each to an-
swer before the Grand Jury. The ne-
gro Davis, being only hired by them
to attend the stock, was discharged.
In this as in other investigations be-
fore Justice Brashear, it is but simple
justice to state that this official dis-
plays an ability, integrity and firm-
ness that are lawyer-proof and show
that he the right man in the right
place.
As a sample of what the rogues
think of Mr. Brashear : among the
friends of the defendant last evening,
it was fully admitted that, according
to the evidence,they were guilty, and
that there was no hope of “getting
clear before Brashear,” but wait till
the Criminal Court, and then they
would be sure to get out of it. And
should they be given lodgings at
Huntsville, they only have to take
leg bail and be as well off as before.
They will probably be as bad off be-
fore Judge Cook as before Justice
Brashear.

Mosquitoes.
Since the late drenching rain
millions of these pests have been
in the sloughs and holes in the pra-
ries, and low places surrounding the
city, and it requires a first class bar
to prevent them thrusting their bills
at you. What purpose these insig-
nificant and remorseless wretches
serve in the economy of creation,
outside of annoying the human fam
ily, is a question unsolved.

Order from Australia.
Mr. Thomas A. Watson, who has
a patent machine for making mat-
rasses, which is in successful opera-
tion in this city, has received an or-
der for one of these said machines
from J. Lawler, wholesale bedding
manufacturer of Sydney, Australia.
This machine does splendid work in
making other things besides mat-
trasses—witness an elegant chair
cushion just presented by Mr. Wat-
son to this office. And if any pew
holder wishes an easy seat, Mr. Wat-
son is the man to make listening to a
sermon a luxury. Some orders have
already been handed in for this kind
of work. Mr. Watson, is a live man,
is turning out excellent goods, and
is sure to succeed in this enterprising
community.
Masonic.
The members of the Chapter Com-
mittee on Work have already ar-
rived, agreeably to the rule requiring
it to assemble one week previously to
the assembling of the Grand Lodge,
which occurs next Wednesday, the

For the benefit of the delegates to
the Grand bodies the Houston and
Texas Central, and International and

excursion tickets good from the 1st

Several prominent Masons are al-
ready present, and the indications
are that there will this year be a full

Prof. Clark’s School.
The exercises at the above semi-
nary last night are highly spoken of
by those who attended, and were
alike creditable to the pupils and
teachers. The young ladies acquit-
ted themselves with that grace, ease
and intelligence that distinguishes
Houston school girls, and Prof.
Clark has certainly detracted nothing
from his established reputation as a
teacher by the results of his last ses-
sion.
The school room last evening was
well filled with a select audience of
ladies' and gentlemen—friends and
parents of the pupils.
