THE CITY.
The Santa Fe.
It was expected that the Santa Fe road would
have been opened for business to Cleburne, in
Johnson county, to-day, but a heavy rain re-
tarded the work, and so caused a delay c>f a
few days in the contemplated opening. Con-
struction is being pushed forward as rapidly
as possible, in order to reach Fort Worth with-
in the shortest period practicable.
Trcmont Opcra-Houhc.
Yesterday afternoon and last night Mr. M.
B. Curtis repeated his performance of Samuel
of Posen to well filled houses, winning, as on
the evening before, warm praise by the oddity
and fun-making with which he invests his bur-
lisque upon the commercial traveler. The
company leave to-day for Houston, where
they make their appearance this evening.
Run Over.
John Williamson was run over yesterday
morning, at Rosenberg Junction, by one of the
cars of the New York, Texas and Mexican
Railroad, and had his arm terribly cut. It
was amputated by a physician from Rich-
mond. He was brought to the city on the 11
p. m. train of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe Railroad, and sent to the hospital. When
he arrived in Galveston his arm was bleeding
badly, the man suffering excrutiating pain.
Arrested for Theft.
On Sunday morning last one of the inmates
of a house of ill-repute, on Bath Avenue,
missed from her room a number of articles of
value, among them a gold necklace and locket,
breastpin and pair of earrings. The theft was
communicated to the police, and Monday af-
ternoon Special Officer Mountain arrested one
B. D. Kasat on a charge of committing the
theft. Kasat was examined before the re-
corder yesterday morning, and held for fur-
ther trial in the Criminal Court with bond
fixed at 1300.
Getting Settled.
The task of moving the general offices of the
Santa Fe Railroad to the Rosenberg building,
three doors east on Strand from their former
location, was completed yesterday. The
officials say they ha^ quarters now that are
considerably more comfortable than their old
rooms, and while, of course, time will bo
necessary to get matters all straight, yet work
yesterday was progressing well nigh as
smoothly as if moving day had never come.
The new building for the general offices of this
road will be completed, it is thought, some
time in December.
NEW RAILROH MOVES.
Gould and Sage the New Trustees—
St. Louis Sleeper Into Galveston—
Through Trains.
The rumor recently made public through the
columns of The News, that Messrs. Jay Gould
and Russell Sage had been chosen trustees of
the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Road,
vice N. A. Cowdrey and Joseph Rudd, Jr., has
been confirmed.
A News reporter asked Manager Harding
yesterday what, if any, effect this transfer of
authority would have upon the future control
and management of the line, particularly with
regard to its operation in connection with the
remainder of the Gould system in Texas. To
this he replied that Messrs. Gould
and Sage would simply occupy
the same positions, possess the same powers
and exercise the same authority as pertained
atul belonged to their predecessors. Pending
the litigation now going on in the Federtu
Court in this city, no expression can be gotten
from the gentlemen in authority upon what
the pro-spects or probabilities for the road are
in either the near or remote future. This
much, however, has been learned: Mr.
Z. Burns has lately been appointed train
master for the Houston division of the Inter-
national and Great Northern Road north, and
for the Galveston, Houston and Henderson
R.oad south. Mr. C. L. Leslie, having resigned
his position as assistant general inanager of
the latter road, his duties have been somewhat
divided among other officials. Mr. W. P.
Campbell, in addition to his duties as station
agent at this place, has been appointed yard
dispatcher.
The statement having been given forth that
a through sleeper would run from St. Louis to
Galveston, beginning next Sunday, The News
representative asked Mr. Harding for particu-
lars upon this point. He answered that the
effort would bo made to start the line at that
time, but it might perhaps have to be retarded
somewhat on account of delay ia getting the
time schedule arranged. It is the intention to
run one passenger train daily, each way, over
the International and Great Northern road,
but to make with that single train close con-
nection with the Missouri-Pacific trains at
Mineola, and with the Iron Mountain at Texar-
kana.
Ultimately it is the desire, if not design, to
run the entire St. Louis and Iron Mountain
train from St. Louis into Galveston direct, but
at this time that proposition has not been per-
fected to such an extent as will admit of any-
thing like details. Manager Harding, of the
Galveston, Houston and Henderson, goes to
Houston to-day on business.
Anonymous Communications.
The blotter at the station-house contains the
following:
ANONYMOUS.
Galveston, October 18, 1881. — Captain
Atkins, Chief of Police: There is a nuisance
right under our eyes. A foul, fiithy, dirty
negro man keeps a bad house for all the low
down, drunken women; white and black go
there, on Twelfth street, between Broadway
and K. The little children, who never knew
what such a house meant, now are talking
about it daily. For God sake, captain, drive
this filthy negro man away?
A Lady in the Neighborhood.
Captain Joe Atkins — Can't you, by any
means, rid us of this foul negro man keeping
an assignation house on Twelfth street, be^
tween Broadway and K. Our neighborhood
has been free from such dens until he moved
in. He rents from Wegner, the grocery man.
You certainly can get evidence enough from
Aver's servants, Park's or Bodiker's to convict
him. I know the evidence of Ayer's former
cook would convict him. He keeps a low den
of negroes and drunken white women.
Broadway.
To this Captain Atkins has recorded the fol-
lowing expressions by way of answer:
" These two anonymous communications re-
ceived by me have been given due attention,
and no one residing in the neighborhood, or
who is in a position to furnish evidence against
the man referred to, has done so. Anonymous
communications do not ordinarily carry
weight, but it has been my rule to always give
heed to any suggestions of value or importance
which may be contained in them, but gener-
ally, as in this case, nothing has come of a
great deal of work, trouble and annoyance to
which I and the police force have been put. If
those who make these complaints will call in
person, or address me in their own proper
name, I will give their recital all the considera-
tion its importance demands, and, as a matter
of course, will hold inviolate the confidences
incident thereto. If those who sent these notes
had furnished their names, instead of false sig-
natures, I would be in a position to obtain the
evidence they have, and they would not be
known in the matter except to myself."
To a News representative Captain Atkins
stated yesterda3r that there is scarcely a day
that he does not receive anonymous letters,
calling attention to wrorgs to ba righted, some
of which are trivial, while others are import-
ant enough to demand attention. But whether
trivial or great, the labor is equally taxing up-
on the officers who, noc knowing the source of
their information, have to work in the dark, as
it were, and aro consequently greatly retarded
in the prosecution of the tasks before them.
The fear,he says, of exposure or complicity
with a court proceeding is an unnecessary one,
as communications in the police office are
held as stricly confidential.
Kopperl Station.
A correspondent of The News sends the
following concerning the new station, Kop-
perl, on the Santa Fe road, which, by the way,
is named for Hon. M. Kopperl, of this city:
"No more romantic or beautiful spot could
have been found in Texas to perpetuate a
name, nestled among towering cliffs and moun-
tain peaks, close to where the grand old
Brazos and the beautiful Nolan mingle their
waters.
" The splendid rain of last Saturday, fol-
lowed by a week of warm weather, has started
the grass to growing finely, and put the soil in
superb condition for the plow. Cotton is
nearly/all picked, though some think that with
a late fall a good top crop will yet be made,
farmers in this section say that double the
usual small grain crop will be put in this sea-
son. Kopperl needs a lumber yard badly."
Marine Movement* Yesterday.
The steamship Hutchinson arrived from Mor-
gan City and went to Indianola The steam-
ship I. C. Harris arrived from Corpus Christi
and went to Morgan City.
The schooner L. A, Ilommell arrived from
Philadelphia with a cargo of coal.
The schooner W. F. Gushing arrived from
Philadelphia with 300 tons of coal, a large lot
of stoves and hollow ware, and some general
merchandise.
The fleet of vessels which had previously
cleared all got away yesterday, except the
steamship Fifty-Nine. The list consisted of the
brig Stirling and schooner Manantico, for Mo-
bile; barks Veteran, Endeavor and schooner
Lena R. Storer, for Pensacola; schooner A. P.
Emerson, for Apalachieoia: brig Watch, for
Havre, and bark Herbert, for Liverpool.
The barge Fowler brought 1077 bales of flat
cotton from Houston, and barge No. 1 had 283
bales compressed cotton—a total of 1301 bales.
Stray Notes.
It is stated that there are several vessels in
port loaded and ready for sea, but that they
can not get away for want of crews.
A light norther, accompanied by a shower of
rain, came up last night about dark, but as
yet it has not materially changed the sultri-
ness and oppressiveness of the weather.
The ladies of St. Patrick's Church will give
a fair and entertainment at Casino Hall, be-
ginning Wednesday evening, October ~ti, and
concluding the Saturday night following.
Another ship load of German immigrants is

The Government Work.
Yesterday, for the first time sinco the 17th
of September, the work of sinking mats on the
harbor improvement was resumed, and six
were put down which extended the base wall
300 feet nearer to the wreck of Adriana. There
is stone enough on hand for two and maybe
three days work. Mr. D. G. Hitchcock, with a
force of men, has established camp on the line
of Bremond's Houston East and West Texas
road above Moscow, and will, Colonel Mans-
field hopes, : be able to begin for-
warding stone at a very early date.
The long delay resulting from tho prevalence
of adverse winds caused a portion of the
mats made during September to become
so waterlogged that they could not be towed,
and consequently they were sunk. Colonel
Mansfield pushes forward, however, in the
face of all his annoyances, setting his
aim upon the completion of the
base and second walls of the jetty
before Christmas, and before his present tunds
give out. If he can succeed in this and the
practicability of his system is demonstrated, it
is thought that the further necessary appro-
priations will be readily made. Colonel Mans-
field said yesterday to a News re-
porter that while he would not state
with positiveness that the water on
the bar would be materially deepened, yet
there had been nothing so far in the resultsat-
tained from the work actually done to discour-
age him, while 011 the other hand there was a
great deal that was calculated to very strongly
encourage him to push forward.

LTo The News.]
The public library, under the auspices of
the Galveston Lyceum, is now open. It will
be a source of pride to the management to en-
deavor to make it an institution of which, it
is hoped, not only they but our citizens gener-
ally will have reason to be proud. There are
now on its shelves some 6000 volumes, and it is
contemplated to add—as resources permit—
the newest, latest and most useful books that
may be issued.
The leading magazines and reviews will also
be a feature, and, if the sanguine expectations
of those interested be realized, a reading-
room—with all that it implies—may be men-
tioned as among its possibilities. However, to
achieve such splendid results it is absolutely
necessary to create a source of revenue, and
it has, therefore, been deemed advisable to
adopt a plan—duly sanctioned by the
City Council—imposing a small tax which will
fall directly and only on those desirous of
availing themselves of the privileges afforded.
With the assurance that not a cent of revenue
accruing will be devoted to other than the
legitimate purposes of furthering and ad-
vancing the interests of the library; consider-
ing the advantages offered, the laudable ob-
ject in view and the paltry amount to be as-
sessed, an appeal to an enlightened community,
such as we believe ours to be, will surely not
be in vain. We trust that everybody who
feels an interest in seeing an enterprise of
such "pith and moment" prosper, will realize
that its success is dependent on and to be pro-
portioned to the support it receives. Feeling
thus, come to its aid and induce friends to do
so, so that besides enjoying its practical bene-
fits, you may also enjoy the satisfaction which
must arise from the consciousness of rendering
service to a cause conducive to education, in-
telligence, public morals and progress.

k( Render Unto Caesar the Things That
are Ctesar's."
LTo The News.l
Galveston, October 17, 1881.—In the State
Press column of The News of the 16th is
published the following extract from the Texas
Siftings, in reply to an article in one of its ex-
changes:
Brother Yandell, of the Seguin Times, thinks
that Texas Sittings mitrht have put an " n " in the
word "cotamporary," Yes, we migrht have put
i») a " w " or a " tion," or even some of the Chinese
alphabet, but that would not have improved it.
Webster, who has the good taste to agree with
Texas Siftings, says that cotemporary is the pre-
ferable word.
Commenting on the above, The News says
11 the Sifter is a scholar as well as a wit," and
takes occasion to indulge in the following bit
of pleasantry at the expense of the intelligent
compositor, who, nine times out of ten, is
" more sinned against than sinning:"
The Sifter is right. That n would be about as
appropriate in co(con)partnership, but how the
Sifter ever succeeded in getting the i. c. to leave it
out in the above is the mystery.
Now, if the Sifter and the i. e. who penned
the latter paragraph will take the pains to
examine Webster's unabridged edition of 1881,
they will find that the preference is given to
the word 4'contemporary." In this case, at
least, an injustice has been done the intelligent
compositor by the intelligent editor, and I
think it would be but an act of common cour-
tesy for both The News and the Siftings to
render unto C8esar the things that are
Caesars," if for no other reason than to do
justice to the memory of poor Mr. Webster,
who is dead and gone. d.
Utilizing Chronic Offenders.
LTo The News.l
As this is the season that ships touch our
port to load cotton, and a large number of
those ships come with rock ballast—a material
verv much needed in the streets of this city—
would it not be a good idea for our aldermen
to adopt some means to purchase this valuable
article, that is often thrown into the gult an
the arrival of those ships? The city of Galves-
ton has been cursed for years with a set of
chronic offenders, who have become a heavy-
tax. There is likewise a set of juvenile offend-
ers who can not be worked on the streets, and
after one night in the city jail are let go, only
to return again, and so the iniquity continues.
About two years ago the city went to the ex-
pense of fencing in a part of the Public Square
and built a new jail. Why could not the yard
in this new city iail be made a workshop to
break this rock brought out by those ships,
and, when broken, made to fill up the ruts of
the streets of the city? There are plenty light-
ers and water craft of all kinds that* can be
engaged to bring this rock to the wharves; and
the pests that are now fed as a burden, through
this industry will bo reformed. A little experi-
ment would show this system to work benefi-
cially for the city as well as Cor the chronic
offenders. Economy.
We take pleasure in retracting the word
extortion that was used in article referring to
school books, signed J. D. Sawyer, Agent, as
it was unintentional on our part to offend or
cast reflection on any of our fellow book-deal-
ers; but will call attention of all teachers for
free schools that w^ can furnish them with
catalogues of Appleton's Readers at introduc-
tory prices, which will keep them posted. Will
receive in a few days a full supply of books.

Echo: Notwithstanding the cry about low
water, and the scarcity of logs, six mills will
be running on Calcasieu river next week, on
full time, and all with a prospect of continuing
to run several weeks, rise or no rise The
steam tug Alamo brought down this week from
Marsh bayou about three thousand hewn ties,
which are" sold to Mr. R. B. Barrister, the effi-
cient and courteous agent of the New York,
Texas and Mexican Railroad Company Get-
ting out cross-ties for railroads is a very profita-
ble and growing industry in our pine woods,
and employs several hundred laborers, white and
colored. Last Tuesday evening forty-five, and
Yvrednesday thirty-one negroes from St. Landry
parish arrived here, and went into the pine
w oods to cut ties A few days ago, at the
Kayough place on the Calcasieu river, about
eighteen miles below Lake Charles, while a
young lady was washing a sheet in the river,
at the edge of the bank, a large alligator
seized the sheet and jerked it out of her hands
so suddenly as to pull her into the water. She
scrambled ashore as soon as possible, while the
alligator swam down the river, and finding the
sheet not sufficiently solid food, dropped it and
returned to the point of attack. The young
lady's cries of alarm had in the meantime
brought her brother to the place, and with a
blow with an ax he slew the saurian monster.
LIVE STOCK.
Goliad Guard: Mr. John Linney, of St. Ma-
rys, made us a short call last Saturday. He
has just sold, to a Houston buyer, a lot of fat
cow s at $17 per head.
Texas Live Stock Journal: From all parts of
the country come reports of abundant rains,
grass growing rapidly and flattering prospects
for good winter range; in fact, the outlook for
winter was never more promising The
Matador Cattle Company will brand 011 their
ranch, this season, over 8000 calves, which, ac-
cording to the usual way of estimating the
number of stock in a herd, places theirs at
about 35,000. A pretty good-sized stock for
new beginners Trammell & Newman
bought at Abilene, recently, 280 beef cattle for
$29 a head.
It is said that in the midst of an Indian bat-

RAILROAD 2TEWS.
Victoria Advocate: Mr. E. S. Taylor, right-
of-way agent of the Texas Mexican Railway,
has about finished his work between Goliad
and this place, and with the exception of one
or two mossbacks had 110 trouble in procui ing
the right of way for his company We are
informed by Captain Schmidt, of the New
Y"ork, Texas and Mexican Railway, that tha
company has three iron bridges on the way to
Texas, ready to placa as soon as their founda-
tions are completed. He feels confident the
road will be completed to this city in February
next Captain H. C. Schmidt, construction
engineer of the third division for the New
"York, Texas and Mexican Railway, arrived in
this city last Tuesday morning, for construct-
ing eastward to the Navidad.... Major Hood's
engineering corps of the Texas Mexican Rail-
way Company, left Spanish Camp, 011 the Col-
orado, on Tuesday morning, to permanently
locate the road, and will complete their work
to this point in about three weeks Work is
progi e-sing rapidly on the New York, Texas
and Mexican road between this placj aud Loce
Tree Creek.
Rockport Transcript: An English steamer,
a bark, brig and schooner, have arrived during
the week .off Aransas Puss, all loaded with rail
road material for the Texas Mexican.
Marshall Herald: A special meeting of the
stockholders of the Sabine Pass arid Texas
Northern Railway was held in this city on
Thursday. A resolution was passed directing
the issuance of bonds to the amount of $1(5,000
to the mile for the whole length of ih^
road from this city to Sabine Pass, and
also the execution of a deed of trust or mort-
gage 011 its property to secure the payment of
said bonds.The bonds of the company w ill not lie
offered for negotiation until a certain number
of miles of road are built. The treasurer of
the company has notified the directors that
he is prepared and instructed to takj all the
bonds at 90 cents 011 the dollar as soon as tbey
are offered. In addition to this, Secretary
Hotchkiss and Chief Engineer Conolly inforn s
us that they have the money, outside of the
bonds cr obligations of the" company, with
which to build that part of the road which is
to be built before the issuance of the bonds.
San Antonio Express: Mr. J. Van Wie, one
of the contractors on the western extension of
the Sunset, reports the forces to be now at
work eight miles west of San Felipe; and con-
tractors aie now there awaiting orders to
commence work beyond that point. The con-
struction train has reached the Frio, and will
cross in a few days. The road is now com-
pleted upward of eighty miles west from this
City. The grading has been c ouipleted nearly
all the way to San Felipe, which is 150 miles
distant from San Antonio. After the Frio i3
crossed the only material delays will be at
the Leona and the Nueces. Material
in abundance is lying all along
the track, awaiting shipment to the
front. The road will pass about
eight miles from Bracket, and passes only
about a half mile from San Felipe. Mr. Van
Wie thinks that a town will be tartecf in the vi-
cinity of the Eagle Pass tap, adjacent to which
is a permanent lake of water and a fine coun-
try all about. The understanding is that the Sun-
set company will continue their work as far as
the Pecos, where the Southern Pacific will be
met. Mr. Van Wie also says that he was in-
formed by Captain Hood, in charge of the
Southern Pacific engineering forces, that the
company desired to push the road through as
rapidly as possible, and would sacrifice much
money in doing so. Also, that both the Sun-
set and Southern Pacific ccmpauies had now
sufficient forces in the field to bring the roads
together within eight mouths. Captain Hood
is now camped at the mouth of Devil's River,
but will shortly move westward toward the
Pecos.
SHEEI' AND WOOL.
The Land League and the British Gov-
eminent.
I Chicago Times. 1
Mr. Parnell has been for some time fishin g
for martyrdom, and he has now got a first-
class bite. According to the Laud League offi-
cials, the excitement in Dublin is "beyond any-
thing in history, except the excitement in Paris
when the populace sacked theBastile. Whether
this is a suggestion of what may be done to
Kilmainham jail is not explained. Mr. Pernell
is the head of the Land League, and the Land
League is doing all it can, and with little pre-
tense of concealment, to goad the people of
Ireland into insurrection. The League has
had abundant excuse for its existence. It
began its operations under a conservative ad-
ministration that simply refused to do
anything but extend alms to the Irish
wt«en they were impoverished by a succession
of bad harvests, which, though not the cause
of all their woes, developer! all the vices of
their land system. It continued its operations
under a liberal administration, whose first ef-
fort to help Ireland was defeated by the lords.
By the agitation it maintained, and the convic-
tion that acts of violence wrought in British
miuds, it did much, perhaps everything, to
procure the passage of the Land act of this year,
au act that would be regarded as revolutionary
and communistic were it introduced into any
American legislature or congress. But the
passage of the act had no effect on the Land
League; its passage was deplored by some of
the leaguers on the ground that it would
satisfy the people and destroy the foun-
dations of the agitation. Mr. Parnell and
bis colleagues didu'fc want the people of
Ireland satisfied with anything short of inde-
pendence. Mr. Parnell resorted to every
means to prejudice the minds of the people
against the new Land bill. While the machine-
ry to execute the new law was being con-
structed, Mr. Paruell was going around Ire-
land telling the people that the new law would
do them 110 good; warning them to put no
confidence in anything that the Saxon Parlia-
ment might do for them, and striving in every-
way to prevent the pacification of the people
and a fair trial of a measure so advanced that
it denies the right of a man to get the best
price he can for his commodity, a right that
Americans think lies at the foundation of the
private ownership of property. This is not by
way of condemning the bill, for circumstances
ever alter cases, but it gives a suggestion of
the concession made to tne tenants.
The Land League has been as bitter and re-
lentless since the bill passed as before: the agi-
tation against law has been maintained undi-
minished. The other day a landlord was shot
at, and the bullet took effect in a girl who was
sitting next to him in a carriage. No mercy
for innocent parties deters the Irish tenant 011
his way home from a Land League meeting
from shooting at a landlord, or a man who has
takon a farm from which the previous tenant
had been evicted. Here is the record of agrari-
an offenses in Ireland for last mouth; it was
in the dispatches in yesterday morning's paper:
There has been one murder in Clare, one man-
slaughter in Cork, four cas-s of attempted mur-
der, fifteen cases of aggravated assault, two of
which endangered life, two of cutting and maim-
ing persons, t went3 -four incendiary cases, four of
roboery and burglary, seven of taking and holding
fo. cible possession, eleven of cutting, killing and
maiming ca tie, one of robbery of arms, five of
riots and atf rays, and two of administering unlaw-
ful oath-:. There were 233 ca-e,. of intimidation,
189 by threatening letters, and forty-four miscel-
laneous. One ease of attacking a horse was re-
ported, forty-eight of injury to property, ^even of
firing into d welling-houses, and oue of obstructing
railway traffic. Total number of offenses, 387.
Cork heads the list with fifty-three, Roscommon
and Clare have each twenty-eight, Kerry tweuty-
seveu, Galway twenty-three, Leitrira twenty-one.
Mayo iweniy, Limerick nineteen, and Mouaghan,
Kilkenny and Wostmeath fifteen each. The refine-
ment of cruelty was reached at Kanturk, where a
man named Sullivan was arrested for putting
needles into potatoes which he was giving to the
cattle of a boj-cotted farmer.
That sort of thing, accompanied with a
complete paralysis of the criminal courts be-
cause witnesses dare not testify and jurors will
not, or dare not, convict, is anarchy, and no
government can stand it.
This is one side of the matter. The other is
that Mr. Forster has irritated the Irish to the
last degree, and is certain in every step he
takes lo make things worse. Tne English
government never listens to Ireland until out-
rages ara committed, and then it yields reluc-
tantly a part of what is demauded. The result
is that the Iris'i commit outrages whenever
they want to attract the attention of the
English, or get anything of the government,
and when they get it they don't feel grate-
ful, and have no particular reason to be,
for what they get is in appearance
yielded up to superior force. The arrest of
Mr. Parnell will deter nobody, stop no shoot-
ing at landlords, or torturing of cattle; it will
only make the Irish more angry, more bitter
toward the English government, than ever.
If Mr. Gladstone's government were far-
sighted enough, now that so much has been
j-ielded to tenants, to yield one 01* two things
now that will soon be extorted by the Irish by
fore?*, and will empty Kilmainham jail, they
will stand some chance of arousing a certain
degree of kindly feeling on the part of the
Irish people. Not having the facilities that the
Russian government has for ruling by force,
the English government is dependent on the
good-will—at least the absence of iil-wdl—on
the part of the people governed, and Mr. Glad-
stone and Mr. Forster are exciting hatred in
Ireland by acts that stop no crime, quell no
disorder, and do no good.
MEXICAN ITEMS.
[Translated from late Mexican papers by the
Brownsville {.Texas) Cosmopolitan^
Nearly three-quarters of the police arrests
made iu the City a£ Mexico are for fighting or
murder.
Two hundred men are at work on the Cen-
tral Railroad near Tomas, Vera Cruz; many
of these are foreigners, who do-not. appear to
be able to stand the climate.
The American operatoi-s on the Tuluca Rail-
road arei beiug , replaced v.with Mexicans or
fgrthe reason that the natives of
the country do not want to work with them.
W ork has been retarded on the Celava rail-
road for want of material, but the grading is
being rapidly completed.
Several persons desire the right to build
horse-railways in Queretaro.
The yellow fever epidemic in Cordova is on
the decrease.
Stores in Queretaro are preparing to close
up in case the law of August 4 is put into exe-
cution.
Sanded Cotton.
[By cable to the New York Herald.1
London, October 10, 1881.—The secretary of
the Oldham Cotton Spinners' Association has
written a letter to Colonel A. D. Shaw, United
States consul at Manchester, declaring that
thousands of tons of sand are paid for by Old
ham spinners as cotton, in consequence of
fraudulent packing. The letter suggests
that the names of the planter and packer
be placed inside each bale of cotton.
It is stated that auother cotton corner
has been formed, and that cotton not
yet grown is actually being boy^t at fixed
rates. The members of the Cotteu Spinners'
Association have advanced many suggestions
in regard to stopping corners. Many favor
dealing in futures being absolutely prohibited,
and many suggest that legislation should be
secured to prevent speculation and gambling
in futures. There is a fair prospect that some-
thing definite and effectual will be arrived at,
for the Liverpool brokers who held aloof from
the September syndicate have expressed to the
Spinners' Association a strong desire that rules
shall be established which will prevent gam
bling.
Chaldaic Records at llxmal.
LNew York Herald.]
Dr. de Plongeon, a Mexican antiquarian,
announces some interesting discoveries among
the ruins of Uxmal, in Yucatan, and he be-
lieves that Chaldaic words form an inscription
011 a stone w hich, he thinks, forms part of a
Masonic lodge. Of the supposed Masonic re-
mains it is not safe to speak until further de
tails are publ.shed, but it wouid not be sur-
prising if, through stone records at the Isthmus,
the early civilization of America, now long ex-
tinct, were traced to the far East. At present all
theories about the source of this civilization
must be based on mere conjecture, but as the
Mediterranean was full of ships and sailors in
ti.e days when the Chaldean language
was in daily use in Egypt and Asia Minor, and
as the legend of Atlantis, the island in the
Western ocean, seems to have existed even at
that time, it is not at all improbable that
other navigators may have been as thought-
ful and venturesome as Columbus. Vessels in
the Mediterranean twenty centuries ago are
believed to have been quite small, but so
were two of the little fleet of Columbus, lu
short, there would have been nothing more
wonderful about an Atlantic Jvoyage in the
days of Caesar, when Carthagenians seem re-
ally to have sailed from the Mediterranean to
England, than a similar trip in the time of
Columbus, whereas there were good reasons
for the lucky discoverers not l eturning to their
native laud. Elbow room, and the right to do
as one chose, has not been easy to find on the
Mediterranean w-ithin two thousand years.
Fac-similes of the Uxmal records will be
awaited with great interest.
The Idea of a Brutal Old Bachelor.
[Chicago Tribune.]
The poem, " How We Measured the Baby,"
was written about twenty years ago, but you
had better not go to the trouble of hunting it
up. The best way to measure a baby is with a
slipper. Measure it crossways of the grain.

Crumbs for the Democracy.
The New York Sun, in stating that the half-
breed faction are now in full control of the
Republican organization in New York, invites
attention to what it calls " these unquestion-
able facts:"
Whenever during the past ten years the
half-breeds have controlled the State conven-
tion and the State committee, and conducted
the canvass, the Republican party has been
beaten in every State election. On the
other hand, whenever the Republicans
have carried the State election, it has
been when the stalwarts controlled
the State convention and the State committee,
and when they went into the canvass with
energy and enthusiasm. Stalwart domination
and the victory of the Republican State ticket
have gone together, while half-breed domina
tion has always been attended by Republican
defeat.
44 The reason," says the Pittsburg Post, " is
not hard to uncover. New York is naturally a
Democratic State, and the half-breeds are not
equal to the work of buying or cheating it
away from us. The stalwarts are."
Old Si's Umbrella.
During the rain the other day, says the At-
lanta Herald, Old Si laid his umbrella down on
a counter in a store. When he got ready to
go out the article was missing. He turned to
some darkies near and said:
" Whar's dat umbreller dat I put dare on dat
counter f"
44 We didn't see hit," replied one.
44 Mebbe so, but I mightily 'spects dat some
ob yer felt hit."
,4 No, we didn't, needer."
44 Don't yer fool wid me, now, 'kase I haint
'gwine to git out no hapus corpi3 for dat um-
breller—."
44 Here's yer parasol, Si! " said the merchant,
who had put it down to keep the drippings off
the counter.
44Ah!dat's all right, boss; but dis here on-
sartiness 'bout de wharabouts ob a umbreller
sorter riles a man. I was jess git tin' ready, ef
one ob dese niggers got away wid dat awnin',
ter roll him in dat warter out der tell steem
wouldn' start on him ef yer sot him agin a
house afire!"
A paper which has no respect for the divin-
ity which doth hedge ajking, says Kalakaaa
and his party look like a flush of hearts, king
high. This is a wicked drive at the red noses.

Lampasas Times: The Times learns that
Messrs. Wright & Hutchinson have bought
several thousand acres of land on the Lampasas
river for sheep pasture Sheep-raisers will
soon own most of tho grazing lands in this
country.
Brackett (Kinney county) News: \V. R.
Thornton, of San Antonio, has sold Messrs.
Newell & Thompson's clip, of this county, for
27 cents per pound, being one cent more than
paid for any other clip placed upon the San
Antonio market this season. Great care is
taken in putting up this wool for the market.
All leg aud belly wool, as well as tag locks,
being packed by itself, and, judging
from the prices received, the growers are am-
ply repaid for the extra trouble. The fact
that this firm has commanded the highest
price for two successive seasons is not only
gratifying to them, but is a credit to Kinuey
county, and shows her adaptability for sheep-
The D. M. Clarksou clip has brought
26 cents. The Kendall County Wool-Growers'
Club will hold its second annual meeting at
tho court-house in Boerue on the first Monday

1 most of the medicines now in use) are
I aware that the medicines often leave tho

I it more difficult to relieve it of their effects

I smith's Improved Chill Cure leaves
! the system in a perfectly healthy condition,
I with no bad effects in any way to be worn
I off. Unlike chill remedies generally, it re-
I quires no purgative to be taken with it*
J the medicine itself acting gently and
