The Rlnker Case.
In the c«se now befo-e the district court, rf
the coumyof Walveston vs. Geo. Schneider,
administrator, et als., in wh.ch the plaintiff it
suing to recover certain sums alleged to be
due by the late S«-lim Rinkr-r county trea-
surer, and which has b en under hearing for
a week past, no startling developments were
made yesterday The plaintiff's counsel con
eluded their side of the case and the defend-
ants are now plying the court with such argu
fluents and the jury with such testimony as
they believe will be essential to the defense
fljeyh*veset up. In an exception made b)
tbe plaintiff^' counsel against tne admisibilitj
of Sertain credits claimed, and particularly
forfcns set down ns the t aid account of the
^itvs for advertising, the court held that
where the law r*quired certain things to be
dope by an official no further authority was
required by executory officers who might be
ini-'usted with a supervisory control over
public moneys. ^
Close of the Public School*.
Yesterday Judge Williems p^id off in full
school teachers of the county, their
aggieg^fed salaries making the sum of $1500.
The pi'b ie schools are now virtu lly cloted
until next September, when they will oe re
ppenea under the new apportionment of funds
for that purpose. In resp nse to an ii quirj
by a News reporter, Judge Wiiliams said tha
the cau * of ihe sudden suspension of th<
public school* before the end of the session
was attribotable to the fact that certain fund*
upon which the commi-sioners estimated for,
gchool'purpo^es were looked up in the Rlnker
suit, and as these amounts were unbailable
till the final adjud cation of that suit, he hao
determined to assume no liability in the fur-
ther employment of the teachsrs, and hence
the order oioeiog toe eckooig.

an early day:
our alabama letter.
Dear Herald—Major W. E. Penn, the Texas
lay evangelist, is with us, has been hers over
four weeks. He began in the Baptist church

io seated 800. The crowds have oveiflowe-
that, and we have now moved to a lar.e un-
occupied livery stable, having prepared it for
comfortable wo Rhip. It *ill accommodate

the first time we have occupied the stable.

dred ar.d thirty have professed conversion
The meeting is rapidly increasing in iurerest
(Rcmemoer, our town has on y 3(00 inhab-
itants all to d ) Major Penn is" a strict land-

The Maifest aod its Prospects.
A decided increase has been developed dur-
ing the past week in the general inteiest that
has been felt in the success of the coming Mai
fest. The grounds are all in order and ready
for the fun to commence. Many ®f the wagons
are nearly finished, and enough is now known
t■» give the number that will appear in the line
at e'ghteen. It is probable that two more will
be aaded by Wednesday. The pleasure held
in anticipation against the ar ival of the cele-
brated German military brass band of Cen-
(ennial fame, is daily increasing among the
lovers of music, while the c >ronaiion cere
monies and fireworks satisfy and supply
-thers with something to think of and ta.k
about. The $-00 prize offered for the best
drilled company hus set in motion an extra-
orainary amount of enthusiasm amoDg the
military companies, not only of this city, bur
from several other places in the interior of
he state. The managers ef the festival have
been indefatigable in their efforts, and from
the present outlook everything seems to
promi e that the seventh annual Maifest of
ihis < ity will be the m st successful thing of
the kind it has ever witnessed.

hree tablespoons butter, one egg, two
tablespoons white sugar, and about half
pint sweet milk. Sift the flour, pow

cold; add the egg slightly beaten, then
the sugar and milk, and mix into a
mooth dough, just soft enough to be
easily handled ; roll out in two pieces
quite thin to size required; lay one on
top of the other and bake iu a hot oven,
in a well greased pan, about fifteen
minutes, and separate while yet warm
—not hot. Use one fer the bottom
crust, cover with a layer of berries,
then lay on the other piece and cover
as before. Serve with powdered sugar
aod cream. The above will make a
large cake; half the quantities will
make a fair size one.

that C. E Broussard has reduced prices
f black diagonal and fancy worsted
coats fuliy fifty per cent., and in some
'.nstances more. Coats can now be
bought from $6 to $12, which sold for
double that money.
A Gentle Hint.
In our style of climate, with its sud
den changes of temperature—rain, wind
rod sunshine often intermingled in a
•lay—it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are frequently
taken from us by neglected colds. A
bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
about your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, a large doc-
tor's bill, and, perhaps, death, by use of
a few doses. For curing Consumption
Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Croup or
diseases of the Throat or Lungs, its-
success is simply wonderful, as your
druggist will tell you. German Syrup
is now sold in every town and village on
'his continent. Sample bottles for trial,
10c.; regular size, 75c.
Revolution In Trado,
There was a rush for clothing at C.
E, Broussard's yesterday, due simply
■o his reduced prices, which are the
ame to one and all. He is creating a
revolution in the retail trade. The
people are reaping the benefit of it.
Anotber Great Improvement In

By Tuesday's steauier from New

new process, by which pictures will be
taken in less than half the time now
required. The process having been
tried in the leading European cities and
proving a success, has been introduced
in the U. S. 1 have bought a permit
for this city, and will give my patrons
the benefit of it. This process is of
considerable interest to the public, as
*ty its use the photographer entirely
dispenses with the head-rest, which in
the past has proven such a great obsta-
cle in getting a correct expression.

« lEt'S HAVE A DRINK."
Abontan Absurd American Custom
The ridiculous, absurd American cus-
tom of "asking" is responsible for
seven-eighths—mind, we say seven-
eighths, and mean it, too—of all the
liquor consumed in this country. Abol-
ish that custom to day, and where there
are eight barrels of liquor drank now,
there would be but one. We believe
this, and we believe it can't be gain-
said. We appeal to any number of
drinkers for their opinion in this mat-
ter. To this custom we owe our
"drinking between drinks," which some
wag, with more truth than poetry in
his soul, said was the only thing
that hurts, or words to that effect.
What a piece of ridiculous folly it is
to go into a place, if in the mood for
liquor, and to ask five or six acquaint-
ances up to drink with you; yet it is
done all the time, and by parties who,
perhaps, want the money for stockings;
but not to do it when your acquaint-
ances are about is to be looked upon as
"small potatoes" and few in a hill
Take the following aa an illustration of
a delightful "fix" liable to arise from
this absurd custom:
You feel in a mood for a glass. You
go for it. Meet a friend just as you are
about to enter a giu mill, and you "ask
him in." Enter, and he comes upon a
group of five or six of his friends, who
have just entered and are conversing for
a moment. You are introduced all
around by your friend. Where are you
now? With a dollar in your pocket and
five or six on your hands, only one of
whom you ever saw before, and morally
bound by custom and impelled by false
pride to ask them to join you in asocial
glass.
You can't get out of it; they know
you came in for liquor, and as your
friend introduced you and didn't invite,
why you must do the honors, and you
say you arc glad to see them (an infernal
lie, by the way) and ask them up. If
you are known at the bar, all right; if
not, you have to borrow of your friend.
How's that? Perhaps some of the party
might ask you some other time, but the
chances are they wouldn't know you
from a naked apple. A most absurd,
dead fraud this '' asking " in connection
with liquor. Do we ask, coax, prevail
on acquaintances to go in and have
neckties, gloves or boots with us?
" Corns in and take a bottle of wine
with me," men will say, and take you
by the arm and in you go. Do they
ever say " come in and have a hat with
me?" Are you continually urged to
eat things? Do they ask you to take
pocket-knives, lead pencils, hair-dye,
tooth-powder, paper collars or umbrel-
las with them? No; this "asking"
business is confined to liquor. It is
liquor liberality, or a custom, rather,
that extends itself to no other article
if we except ovsiers and cigars, but in
these it is limited.
Take a paity of six Germans who go
in for their lager. They sit down and
each one drinks what he wants and
pays for what he drinks. He isn't
forced and bantered because he does
nor drink more. The same with Eng-
lishmen, Frenchmen, aud all other peo
pie on the face of the globe except
Americans. You know how it would
be with six of the latter, did they go in
"for lager. There would be thirty-six
glasses drank, or paid for, if not all
drank, because each must " ask " all
the others. Humbug! Folly!
Imagine a case like this, did the
"asking" business extend beyond the
confines of liquor: Two gentlemen
walking up Broadway. One is attract-
ed by a fine display of bottles—no,
boots, shoes, etc., in a window. "Bob,
let's go in and have some boots." In
they go. " Take hold, Bob. What's
your fancy?" "Thank you, Tom, but
I'm not taking boots just now." "Oh,
get it. Take hold. One pair won't
hurt you." "No, excuse me, Tom "
" Take something, Bob. Take home a
pair of boots for your wife. Don't see
me do this thing alone." Bob comes
down and takes a pair of boots. It's
no use. Who could withstand Tom's
appeal?
Tbe Bell-BIr<l.
In the forests of Guiana, at daybreak
and sunset, may be heard, mingling
with the morning and evening tributes
of the birds, a loud, clear note, like the
sound of a distant bell, and at noon,
when all animated nature in forest and
grove seems hushed in tropic silence
and repose, this tolling sound steals
through the air, at regular intervals,
and rouses the drowsy hearer from his
midday reverie. This peculiar music is
made by the bell-bird, a native of tho-e
climes, called by the Indians dara, and
by Spaniards companere. This bird is
about as large a9 a jay, with a plum-
age of dazzling whitness, and form
much resembling a dove. The peculiar-
ity which distinguishes the bell-bird
from all others in appearance is t
rounded and tapering muscular excres
cence of a jet-black ctl ir aud covered
with short feathers, which proceeds
from the forehead. This carbuncl j is
flexible, and usually hangs down on one
side of the head, but when the bird
would give foith its peculiar note it is
raised by muscular contraction and pro
trades above the head two inches cr
more, forming a hollow spiral tube of
small diameter. The cavity of this
tube connects with tbe throat, and it is
supposed by naturalists that the bell-
like tones of the bird are produced by
the quick vibration of the air through
this singular chest The bird's note is
full and rich like a silver-toned bell,
and may be heard in the stillness of
the forest for a distance of three miles.
It seeks not the companionship of other
birds, but alone in the midst of those
extensive wild?, perched upon the high
and withered top of an aged mora tree,
it gives forth this strange and solemn
strain—first a single toll, and then a
pause for a minute, while the sound
floats away into silence; then another
toll, and then again a pause of longer
duration, after which the former suc-
cession is resumed.
The Boston Transcript reports this
suggestive bit of conversation: " Don't
you find that it hurts your lawn to let
your chi dren play on it?" asked a
friend of a suburban the other day.
" Yes," answered the gentleman ad
dressed, "but it doesn't hurt the chil-
dren."

[Special Correspondence of the News.]
Bastrop, April 25.—Bastrop is on the banks
of the Colorado, an old town for Texas. The
paople there and of the country around have
long run in old grooves, which now they are
getting out of a little ahead of some of their
neighboring counties. In the matter of blood-
ed stock, cattle, sheep, horses, hogs, chickens
and dogs, they are certainly making rapid
strides. The country is admirably adapted to
the business, and the people are not slow now-
a-days in gettirg into it, delayed, however, by
hard times and old customs aod habits. The
telegraphic report of the recent stock show
gave readers of the News some idea of what
they are doiog and who are taking the lead.
col. woods moore,
has a great many j ears had an inclination to-
wards importing and raising bleoded stock on
his magnificient plantation below Bastrop,
and has all the time had good stock ab^ut
him, but he has also carried on large farming
operations which engrossed the better part of
his attention. Latterly, however, he has been
giving the business the attention it deserves
and at the stock show, as was indicated by
the report of that day. he made an ^xhibitioa
that would be creditable in a blue grass Ken-
tucky county. When a Texas farmer, as he
did, can show the sixth generation of thor-
oughbred Durham cattle, bred a Texas
farm, and sell suckling calves for $2?S0 apiece,
the country may begia to get ready to thank
Providence that the cotton worm has swept
ih'8 valley so completely and repeatedly that
Col Moore and his neighbors are disgust d
with cotton and have gone in to win on stock.
The long horn Texas cattle have had their day
here, but their disappearance only indicates
that those of the early settlers who saw in
this the most magnificent stock country in
the world were level headed, for they give
place to the short horn, the Jersey and A.ld*r-
nay, and promise returns more profitable,
certain and pleas narthan farming exclusively
or cattle raisin? uni'-r the old plan. And
THIS NEW INDUSTRY
or new directi a of old pursuits, will develop
grpat and unexpected resources First, it en-
courages raising small grain and those who
have trif d it find or say they find it the natu-
ral climate and soil fo- wheat, oat-* and b*r
ley. I learn hundreds are engaging in this
new production for Bastrop of small grain
and that one farmer near the town has 250
acr-s In one place in wheat. Next, it * ncour
a^es ihe production of hny and cultivation of
native grasses which in exuberant growth
and nutrition exceed any of the northern and
western grasses. Next it changes the indus-
try of the. country from almost exclusively
manual labor so far as work in the fiel 1 is
concerned, to machine work. These are val
uable changes.
capt. [price"?
a leading member of the Fourteenth legisla-
ture from Bastrop, has always been in c >cton,
hut now is chaneiog to stock and sma'l grain
He says it will take some time to make tbe
change, as investments in apparatus for cot-
tr n-m-kii g can not be charged to machiner>
for small grain production, and the transition
must th*^ refore be gradual. But in the short
time he has been in the business the results
shown by his exhibition ar the la'e stock show
m^rk great energy or remarkably go^d for-
tune.
savers and walton,
young men, have gone to work exclusively in
stock. Their farm is a blooded s'ook farm,
and their success has perhaps made more
converts than all the theorizing of editors of
agricultural papera hw eflP cted in Bastrop
county since the war. If Major Sayers can get
the state government out of some of its old
grooves and into new and improved usages as
readily as he is working his neighbors out of
the tyrannous clutches of old King Cotton
and oat of their old predilections for prairie
long horns, he shou'd have no competition for
the high position which his friend* are asking
for him. Fitzveiliiams, another loyal subject
of King Cotton, is setting up the new liege
lo d. He is quitting cottoa as fist as he can
and going into stock. And there is even a
still more notable conversion than any of
these.

POLITICAL NOTSS.
SBastrop county seems to be a unit for Major
Sayers. His neighbors and the town people
all have unbounded confidence in his integrity
and ability. When some one of them re-
marked "he is not a brilliant man, but he has
solid sense, and would make as good a gover-
nor as any named for tha^. place." the re-
porter said he was from the Wi ong side of the
Brazos to talk of th*t so far as tnis elpction
is concerned. The Bas rop man said "we
here don't propose to ask where a man is
from if he is in Texas." The rtporter found
the people universally deeply g*t against sec-
tional claims and sertioaal quarreling.

audience tha' had been a long time listening
to Col. Phil. Claiborne. The latter is not a
candidate for any office, and spoke, of course,
freely. He opposes the position assumed by
Col. Jones. The sentiments he expressed
were not new to many present, and although
many present on that occasion were his warm
pt-rsonal and political friends, who receive
his enunciations as orthodox political d c-
trine, and though they were forcibly and elo-
quently spoken, he was not applauded until
he closed, but then heartily. It is thought by
some that he will carry the county this elec
tion; other say he wili lose vot.s fce received

Major Sayers says he was in a great hurry
to write the letter to the News which, by im-
plication at least, in one passage, placed upon
the News correaoondent at Austin the respon-
sibility of the charge against him in connec-
tion with the election of a location for the
state convention. He barely had time ro pre-

shooting at harricburg.
Franch Office of the News, Houston.
April 27—Last night was one of gaiety in Har-
ri»>burg: John Ryan, a joung mechanic of
that town, resorted to Ihe ball-room with a
lady During the dance, Tobias J. Collins, one
of our late grand jurymen, is said to have
passed remarks upon the respec-abiliry of the
lady, hearing which Ryan called Collii-s to ac-
count and a harmless fisticuff followed.
About noon Ryan started to dinner, was
halted by Coilins and Dr. Pilaut (Collins step-
father) Collins sayir g: " Are y«>d ready io
retract caliirg me a liar?' Ryan answered
that he was not. Collins told him to draw
and defend himself, but Ryan protested that
he was not arm-d, offering, however, to fl«;ht
ft out with Coljins, who is a much heavier
man.
ibis Collins refused, when T)r. Peland of-
fered his services as a pugilist and accepted
tne challenge for h!s stepson. Ryan said: " I
don't want 3o fight with you. doctor; I have
no quarrel with you, but I will lick Collins If
be gives me a fair show." Uoon this Collins
discharged his revolver, the ball grazing Ry
an's right temple, the second shot too* effect
in his light arm, the third shot missing its
mark.
Ryan was steadily retreating when shot at,
and immediately took ho se and came to
this city, where Dr Burrows dres&ed his
wound, which Is not serious.
After the shooting, it is reported that Col
lins armed himself with ) Is rifl<\ tcok horse
and gave other signs of his intention to resist
arrest. A capias was is-ued fr.>m the sheriff's
office this evening, and a deputy started im
mediately to make the arrest.

A Crushed Lawyer.
Mr. Constable Abrams tackled a law-
yer in red hot style at *a magistrate's
court yesterday. So long as the lawyer
confined himself to legal propositions,
such as Epluribus unum, ad captandum,
certtinari, happeas coppus, nix cum
aroush and such like legal phrases.it was
right with the constable; but wnen he
talked ab )ut non compos mentis then
the blood got riled, and the constable
went for that lawyer, world without
end, kingdom come. He riddled the
learned attorney, and proved, too, the
fallacy of his position, first by demon-
strating that if a man lived on one siJe
of a fence and a colored woman on the
other, and a dispute should arise about
the parentage of the child, of course a
damnamus should issue to show cause
why the party of the third part should
not commit an alibi, and thereby prove
perjury by exhibiting a writ of rooster.
After this magnificent outburst of legal
learning the other lawyer wilted, and
the plaiutiff was awarded a verdict of
$200. [VIontgomery (A.la.) Advertiser.
A niece recovering from her uncle
for breach of promise of marriage is
something of a novelty aa well as a
warning to attectionate malc-8 with
pretty nieces. Here is a dispatch that
tells the story: The trial of the breach
of promise suit instituted by Miss Mary
Louise Gulick against Peter Gulick,
her uncle, in the Supreme Court of
Middlesex county, N. J., ended on Fri-
day in favor of the plaintiff. In Au-
gust, 1877, according to the testimony
of Rev. Mr. Armstrong, Peter Gulick
weat to a church picnic, and while
there informed Mr. Armstrong that he
wished to be married to his (Gulick's)
ni ce, fixing the following Wednesday
as the day of the ceremony. Mr. Arm-
strong arranged that the couple should
bs married at his liouse, but when the
time arrived Mr. Gulick did not ap-
pear. Two days later Mr. Gulick said
that he had given up the idea of marry-
ing. Mr. Gulick testified that bis niece
wanted to force him to marry her, and
she said thit he insisted upon the mar-
riage. The jury in the case, after an
absence of thirty-nine hours, returned
a verdict in favor of Miss Gulick,
placing the damages at $2000.
We wonder if any Boston people will
come to Danbury to speiid the sum-
mer? We remember only one who
tried it. The next day after his ar-
rival he was sitting on the hotel porch,
chewing a toothpick and gazing ab-
stractedly into space, when a native ad-
dressed him:
" You are from Boston, I believe?"
"Yes, sir," waj the iofty reply."
" Well, can you tell me how they
spell the name of that hall there—Funu-
well I think they call it ?"
