Jnrenile Tyrants.
The number of juvenil%vagrants
loafing around the street corners
is large for a city of this size. A
short stop was brought to their
boisterousness day before yester-
day at the corner of Main and
Congress by a policeman. He
reached their proiimity unnoticed, (
and applied his club to oue of
their posteriors, when they
fled like hares. Knowing they
would easily out run him he then
flung his club after them,
creating a scattering which was
refreshing to behold. We often
have wondered where those waifs
come from and who are their
parents. It is the intention of the
Society of St. Yincent de Paul to
build a home for boys, and thus
give them shelter, keeping them
a^ay from temptation, besides
affording them the means of
education, so that when they grow
up to manhood they will become
useful members of society.
Fifth Ward Meeting.
The Democrats of the above
Ward held a very enthusiastic
meeting lastnight. JudgeThomas
was called to the chair, and
Mr. Mateer was appointed Secre-
tary, pro tem.
Judge Thomas and Messrs.
Gregg, Dunn, Schilling, Wil-
liamson and Kerlicks were elected
delegates, with Messrs. Brooks,
Reed, De Coigne, and Harrop as
alternates. During a discussion
the Chairman expressed himself
strongly against the introduction
of the International Railroad sub-
sidy question, and it was unani
mously voted to leave delegates
uninstructed. On a test vote re-
pudiation was lost by a tnree-
fourth's vote. Stirring addresses
were delivered by J. McKeever,
W. Sharman and the Chairman.

The Great Trans-Atlantic Show,
Older & Chandler's reno
Trans - Atlantic Exposition t will
visit Houston on Friday, August
8, and give two grand exhibitions,
afternoon and night. It is grati-
fying to know, by the evidence of
our exchanges, that this, unlike the
great majority of shows nov^ travel-
ing the country, is one of a really,
meritorious character. It is said
to live up to its pretensions, and
while the menagerie, aquarium
and aviary abound with the choic-
est specimens of nature, and the
museum, in itsfmultiplicity of cu-
riosities, is in fact, as well as
name, an interesting repository of
art and nature, the circus and
hippodrome are said to be rarely
equalled in the number and excel-
lence of the equestrian artists and
arenic performers. There is in-
struction as well as amusement to
be gleaned from such Jm exhibi-
tion, and we Ippe jtaHsee it exten-
sively patro:
Weappendfon endorsement from
the Waco Eiaminet of July 30:
Yesterday afternoon and last night we
attended the performances given by the
Trans-Atlantic Exposition Company, and
we do not hesitate to gay that the whole
has been mis-represented very much. The
equestrian troupe appeared to great diS-
advantrge, in consequence of the slippery
condition of the arena. We really appre-
hended cccidents to both horses and riders,
but ow :ut; to the perfect esprit de corps no sueh
unpleasantness occurred. The menagerie
comprises a large collection of animals, add
the museum a wonderful array of curiosities.
The gymnasts and athletes are equal to any
that live ever traveled through Texas. The
riding very good, especially the two horSe
act of Mmlle Watson, and the single act §f
Mr. Frank Barry. It is seldom that so
many clever performers, and good perform-
ing animals, are ever gotten together under
one canvass, as are to be seen with tins
Company. All of the acts, acrobatici, gym
nast'ic, equestrian, etc,, were exceedingly
chaste and entertaining, alike devoid of stale
witticisms and indecency. We felt assured
of this, however, early yesterday morning
when we became acquainted for the first
time, with the pen omul of the (troupe. We
can truly say we never have seen anywhere
a more respectable combination of emns^-
meats. We commend
towns below.
In connection with our repoit we with
pleasure refer to the following expression
on the same of competent judges:
Waco, Texas, July 29, 1873.
To the Citizens of Texas:
We, the undersigned citizens of Waco,
McLennan county, Texas* having been so-
licited to express an opinion on the'merits
of the Great Trans-Atlantic Exposition, and
having witnessed their performance this af-
ternoon. July 29th, 1873, agree that it is a
first-class show in every respect, and as
such we recommend it to the people of Texas,

STATE ITEMS.
The Mayor of Jefferson and a
number of other influential citi-
zens addressed, on July 27, a let-
ter to United States Senator Flan-
agan, requesting him to address
the citizens of Jefferson upon the
important political subjects of the
day, which not only affect the wel-
fare of Texas, but of the Union,
In reply, the honorable gentle-
man accepts the invitation, and
states that he will name an early
day,, when he will do himself the
honor of addressing the residents
of that rising city.
From the Waco Examiner, July 29.
Copious rains have visited the
county during the past three days,
and have been productive of good
influence on the crops, particu-
larly cotton and potatoes; and we
have no doubt much benefit has
accrued to corn. We know that
it is generally said, " Oh! its too
late to do corn any good," etc.,
but we have our opinion also, and
it is, that corn will be the heavier
for rain, though it eomes late.
The improvement is more percep-
tible on the bottom lands where,
two weeks ago, the greatest fears
of a short crop were entertained.
Yesterday the gathering of farm-
ers in the city was quite large, and
our observations, after numerous
" interviews," lead us to the con-
clusion that the crop prospects are
entirely satisfactory.
J. D. Wallace, of this city,
shipped on Saturday last 10,000
pounds of new flour to Austin by
rail, and Gus Batte shipped per
wagon 5000 pounds to Cameron.
We learn of a good deal more get-
ting ready for shipment by rail to
points below. The run upon our
city mills just now is immense.
Again yesterday the streets of
the city were thronged with wag-
ons heavily laden with all sorts of
hay. No little of it was baled and
en route for the railroad depot, to
be shipped to Galveston and
Houston. "
Jrom Denton Monitor, July 26.
Among the important cases to
be tried at the approaching term
of the District Court is that of J.
A. Lawler, charged with the kill-
ing of one A. Zadek, the leading
spirit in the scenes of terror which
he inaugurated in Limestone and
Freestone counties, resulting in
the murder of Mr. D. C. Apple-
white and the levying of thou-
sands of dollars to defray the ex-
penses of martial law.
We sympathise with any man
becoming entangled in a mortal
difficulty with such a character,
under the circumstances, as A.
Zadrick, who invited his own de-
struction by seizing Mr. Lawler by
the throat, throttling him, and at-
pting to draw a pistol with
which to kill him. Personally we
are not the friend or champion of
either party, but, as a disinter-
ested spectator, we do think, that
if this was not a clear case of self-
defense, tnere never can be one,
as Mr. -Lawler, too, \v$>uld have
been murdered but for his timely
action.
We are informed by Mr. Thos.
m. WJtauuc UJ. uiciuicutuai/ v • ' ~ ~
ts and receiving and forwarding mer^'E. Kendall that Mr. Jack Tucker,
of McKinney, was shot and killed
on Saturday last by Mr. John M.
Lillard at that place. Tucker
was the father-in-law ot Lillard.
"It seems that Lillard denounced
Tucker as a liar, when the latter
drew a knife and was killed when
he attempted to use it Both par-
ties were drinking. Lillard ran
off and concealed himself in
the bush, but was arrested and
lodged in jail by the officers of the
law. We regret this sad occur-
rence exceedingly.
From San Antonio Herald, July 29.
CoL Ogsbery advertises for sale
the type, presses and material of
the Indianola Bulletin. The only
reason for selling is the bad health
of the proprietor.
Col. Baylor.—This gentleman is
constantly in receipt of letters from
gentleman in Eastern Texas urging
upon him to become a candidate
for Governor, and telling him how
the old Texans receive it when his
name is mentioned in connection
with that office. Yesterday he
had a letter from Hon. S. B. Bew-
ley, late a member of the Legisla-
ture, which was very encouraging
to the Colonel. Mr. Bewley says
the East generally acknowledge
that the West should this time
name the Governor.
Indians.—Mr. John James re-
ceived by the last mail the follow-
ing letter from the Sabinal, July
24th: "I have just had another
fight with the Indians, numbering
about 20, about two miles below
the ranch. There were three of
us together. We fought about one
hour. They shot 23 times and
wounded one of my men very
badly, and also one of my mules:
there are several balls in the
wagon bed. 1 shot one of the In-
dians off his horse while he was
running. I think he is badly
wounded."
Our Friend. General Ham Bee.—
This honorable gentleman and dis-
tinguished Texan, who has been
exiled from his home for many
years past, and who is now so-
jouring in our neighboring Re
public of Mexico, can not escape
the expression of the vindictive
hate of E. J. Davis and the worth-
less pack of hounds who are ever
ready, provided they are at a safe
distance, to hoarsely bay at any
person whom Davis should set
them on. Thus, on the 6th of
June, the Brownsville Ranchero
gratified its master and indulged
its caninity by a slanderous
article upon Ham
ing his honesty.

Postmasters in the Indian Na-
tion have called on thejPoatmaster
General for escorts for the mail
carriers in that region. Indeed,
within fifteen lilies from Fort
Sill we learn that the Postmaster
has called for a military guard for
the protection of his office, based
upon the insolent and threatening
conduct of the Kiowas. -From the
Mexican frontier out dates are as
late as the 20th inst *A friend
has handed' us a letter of late date
from a mutual friend, writing
from a town in Mexico, not far
beyond the Rio Grande, who
makes the following request:
"Will you please say to the
Editors of the San Antonio Herald
that they can, upon good author-
ity, advise all the people on the
frontier to look out for a raid
from the Kickapoo Indians very
soon; they are removing their
families back into the interior, out
of reach of any force that might
attempt to surprise them again,
as Gen. McKenzie did, so that the
bucks can run a little further into
this country than formerly, when
they made their raids into Texas,
and then skedaddle back again
into this God-forsaken country."
From Corpus Christi Gazette, July 26.
La Vox Publico, of Matamoras,
contains an account of a horrible
crime committed in the town of
Zaragosa, Mexico. While some
thirty Protestant Mexicans, men
and women, were engaged in wor-
ship, one of their number, a citizen
named^ Julian Hernandez, was
called to rhe door of the church,
and on opening it was seized by
the assassms and murdered with
their daggers. Quite a number of
the other citizens were mortally
wounded, and the residue were
well niglx beat to death* The
females then were mpltreatea *U?d
violated. - ; -r
From the Colorado Citizen, July 31.
The pecan mast promises to be
abundant this year, judging from
present indications.
Cotton has opened considerably
in our county, but not enough as
yet for picking.
A colored camp meeting has
been going on over the river at
the Gray place for several days,
which has demoralized the freed-
men on the plantations in the vi-
cinity.
E. P. Newsom, of Eagle Lake,
sends us a stalk of cotton with 102
full grown bolls and a number of
smaller ones and forms. It is near
six feet high, and beats anything
of the kind we have seen this sea-
son. We learn it came from the
plantation of Mr. Potter, about
twelve miles below Eagle Lake,
and was grown by Messrs. Morris
& Ficklin.
From Brownsville Sentinel, July 25.
Last evening Mr. John Graham
was found dead in his bed, shot
through the head, above the right
eye. Mr. Graham occupied the
position of Lieutenant of Police of
this city. He retired to his room
as usual to sleep. At dusk an
officer went to his room to awake
him to go on duty, and found him
as above stated. The coronor was
investigating the case. A woman
residing next door, when question-
ed by the coroner, stated that she
heard a shot fired in the morning
between the hours of 7 and 8
o'clock, but paid no attention to
it. We have heard it stated ^hat
the officer found a pistol in the
hand of the deceased. Old John,
as he was familiarly called, was a
good iman, and one time, we be-
lieve, held the office of Sheriff of
Nueces county, where he had
many friends, who will regret to
hear of his untimely end.
One of the results of the recent
great advance in the price of coal
in Europe is visible in the fact
that various large manufacturers
in France, Germany and Russia
are casting about for new sources
of supply. They think it feasible
to import Pennsylvania coal, and
an analysis of the different kinds
mined in this State is being made,
with a vietf of ascertaining wheth-
er they are suitable for use in the
foreign factories needing them.
Already Pennsylvania has been
able to undersell English coal in
the West and East India markets,
and it looks very much as if we
might, to a certain extent, be able
to compete with European coal in
portions of Europe itself.

Weekly Review.
In submitting our review of the
markets for the week ending
to day, we would state that there
is not much improvement to note
in general trade. Our quotations
are corrected with great care, and
may be depended upon as being
strictly correct. We are now at
the end of July, and August will
witness a marked change for the
better.
The worm has appeared in many
places, carrying with it ruin of the
hopes of the planters; but its rav
ages are not general, and hopes
are entertained that the remedies
now being used will check its
further devastations.
Staples are unchanged.
There is a decided improvement
in the prices obtained for cattle in
New Orleans, as may be seen
from Mehle's report, for the week
ending the 2oth.
