Trinity Picnic.

citizens who design participating in the
festival must be on hand at that hour.
Trial of a Hand Engine.
The engine lately run by Lee No. 5
having been turned over to Mechanics'
Fire Company No. C, Foreman Patrick
Ilickey tested its merits at Williams's
Wharf on Thursday night. A solid
stream was thrown 135 feet tlirongh 200
feet of hose, and through a one-inch
nozzle. The Mechanics' boys being out
in full force, there was some rivalry as
to who should get to the brakes. If the
full force of the company could have
been brought to bear, It is quite certain
that the squirting would have exceeded
the above record. The lively chaps of
No. 5 may congratulate themselves that
their " pet " has fallen into lianda that
will never disgrace its record.
Profeasor Cleveland's Examination
Mop,
Laet night, at tie Opera House, wae
certainly one of the most enjoyable
affairs of the kind that has taken place
this season. The pupils were about nu-
merous enough to fill comfortably, when
dancing, the large platform laid down
over the parquettc; and the lookers-on,
for the most part the parents of the
pupils, filled every seat in the parquette
circle. It is the first examination hop
that has taken place for some years, but
more, equally successful, it is hoped, will
follow.
Prof. Cleveland and his father made it
quite apparent that they have very great
influence over their pupils—a word from
either of them being quite enough to
cause quiet to reign instantly. They
also have the faculty of imparting to
children what is required of them with-
out annoying or displeasing them ; and
that their pupils make rapid progress in
the polite and very agreeable accomplish-
ment of dancing, was evidenced last
night in many of the dances gone
through with—but more especially in the
following dances, viz: the Cachuclia
Highland Fling and Sailor's Hornpipe,
where the little folks had the floor all to
themselves. Each one of these dances
brought down rounds of applause, and
right well was it deserved. We give the
names of those who took part in the
dances named:
t'acliucha—Misses Fanrtio Briggs, Jen-
nie Sampson, Mary Fowler, Nettie Bor-
rell, Annie Sealy, Maggie Thelokey,
Minnie Briggs, Maggie Nichols, Maggie
Mclvean and Cecil Blum.
Highland Fling—Misses Maggie Nich-
ols, Ixmise Fowler, Louise Hobby, Matie
Hand, Lillie Mott, Jennie Sealy, Ella
Richards, Louise Jennett, Mamie Stone,
Rosa Blessing, and Louise Dunbelly.
Sailor's Hornpipe—Jimmie Shepherd,
Rodney Gary and Eddie Sampson.
In these dances all acquitted them-
selves remarkably well; but we must
speak especially of the larger boy of the
three that danced the gailoi's hornpipe,
who has few superiors of his years.
About 11 o'clock the programme for
the little folks was finished, and then the
older ones took the floor, and all went
merrily until about half-past 1 or 2
o'clock.
The Professors Cleveland have much
cause for congratulation at the success of
their first examination hop, because all
present were satisfied that these gentle-
men must be good teachers of the "art
terpsicliore," or their pupils could not
have reached their present proficiency in
the short time the school has been open-
ed—being only about six weeks. In this
city their scholars number about one
hundred and twenty, and in Houston
about eighty. The professors will proba
bly make Galveston their home for the
future, so well are they pleased with it

The Trinity Picnic.
Saturday, the 0th, be it remembered, is
the day for the Trinity Sunday school
picnic at Dickinson's bayou. All the
friends of the church and Sunday
Bchool are Invited to assist on this occa-
sion, in the innocent, healthful recrea-
tion and enjoyment of the children, at
this " picnic of the season." Those pro-
viding themselves with excursion tickets,
should be at the'ears at 8 a. m.
The .Surviving .Heiubem
Of Hood's Texas Brigade whose names
did not appear in the roster published in
the News of Friday morning, will please
leave their names at our countingroom,
so that the rosters may be revised and
rendered as complete as possible. It
was impossible to get all the names of
the participants in the re union Thurs-
day, but we are anxious to have it as
full as it should be, and to this end the
NEWS would be pleased to have each
gallant fellow leave us his name, as well
as the regiment and company to which
he belonged.
Tlic Very Lax ol' the Keunlon.
Thursday night as the veterans of Hood's
Brigade were marching down from the
Turner Hall, to their quarters, they
halted at the " Two Brothers" for a
" night cap." The genial Barney Tier-
nan, being among the party, was called
upon for a speech. Ho promptly mount-
ed the rostrum and spoke as follows :
Soldiers of Hood's Brigade—As the
"wee sma' hours" are drawing near, 1
propose that you take a glass of wine
with Harney, preparatory to putting
yourselves in your little beus.
It may readily be imagined that this
speech was received with " great ap-
plause," and while the band began to
play '* Dixie," the veterans took their final
sip from the flowing bowl, and then,
forming in line, headed by the band, they
marched away to their " little beds."

Cheat Bargains ! Great Bargains !
Now is the time to get cheap goods. Just
go to the Cheap Store, 101 Market street,
if you want to get nice goods at cheap
goods prices. Messrs. I. Levy & Bro. do
hereby notify the people that they are
selling goods at such remarkably low
figures that they are satisfied no one is
able to compete with them in the whole
State of Texas. The goods must be sold,
and we guarantee that the prices as well
as the goods will give satisfaction.
Climate, Race and Work.
Dr. Draper says that the man of the
North has learned that he can resist
natural influences destructive to his
comfort or injurious to his well-being,
and becomes active and provident,
while the man of the South, oppressed
with the heat he can not combat, and
from which he can not escape, resigns
himself to indolence, and submits to
what he considers his fate. This is
not true of the Caucasian at the South.
Under proper stimulants to industry
he is as energetic and persevering as
his Northern brother; but it may be
true of the African, whose simple wants
are easily satisfied, and whose normal
state is idleness. It will be remem-
bered by Galvestonians that when the
great overflow of the Colorado took
place some three years since, provis-
ions were'sent in such abundance to
the inundated district that the planters
wrote to the donors to moderate the
supplies and hold out some inducement
to the freedmen to work for their ra-
tions, otherwise no crops would be
made. It is now stated that along the
Mississippi river negroes, who have
been driven from their homes by the
overflow', refuse all offers of employ-
ment from planters who wish to hire
them, saying the government is going
to furnish them with rations, and they
do not want work.
It is hardly forgotten that great dif-
ficulty was experienced on many places
to induce the freedmen to work imme-
diately after emancipation, and that
a majority only sought employment
when they found that they could not
live without it.
By subjecting seaweed to distilla-
tion with superheated steam, accord-
ing to Stanford's process, instead of
simply reducing it to ashes, as has
hitherto been done, not only can illu-
minating gas, ascetic acid, and com-
bustible oils be obtained, but iodine,
chloride of potassium, etc., can be ex-
tracted from the residue. The char-
coal residuum also possesses an un-
usual deodorizing power, and can be
used for disinfecting water-closets, in
such a manner as to constitute a
source of ammonia, by further distilla-
tion.

Tiie Waltham Watcii Companv.—
The watches made by the Waltham
Company have attained a popularity
never accorded to any other make, and
for the very excellent reason that all ar-
ticles sent out from the manufactory are
as near perfection as the very best of
material and most accurate workmanship
can produce.
The watches made by the Waltham
Company embrace every description,
size, price aci design, from the cheapest
to the most expensive. The cheapest
watches are accurate time-keepers, and
the works will wear as long as if a
higher price was demanded.
Watches are manufactured at the
Waltham Works expressly for use of
engineers, conductors and travelers.
These watches are perfect in all their
details, and can be depended on in any
climate.
No other watch company makes a
complete article, and purchasers should
always ask for the Waltham Watch, a
full supply of which are always on hand
at the establishment of
M. W. Shaw & Bro.,
Corner Tremont and Market streets.
w Ichlta and Texas Cattle.
The fat men in the race, larding the
lean earth as they went along, were
not better fertilizers than Texas cattle
to the towns which securc the trade in
them. Not half as many Grecian cities
claimed to be the home of Ilomer,
after he was dead, as the number of
towns in Kansas and Missouri that
claim to be the natural mart of Texas
long-homed steers. Among the last
to reassert its claims is the town of
Wichita, Kansas, whose champion
spans the St. Louis Ob/be like a Colos-
sus, and says:
It is now in order for me to speak
my little piece, and I shall select Wi-
chita for my alpha and omega.
From its incorporation this noted
frontier town has had a steady, ever
increasing growth, savoring less of
mushroominess than usually character-
izes the building up of a fast Western
town. To-day it is the liveliest, by all
odds, of any other city in the State.
It will be remembered that, for two
years pabt, this has been the head cen-
ter of the Texas cattle trade, and this
year it bids fair to eclipsu any former
season in point of magnitude. A num-
ber of heavy cattle men have already
arrived, and the latest advices from a
icliablc source leport 70,000 head of
cattle as having crossed one ford on
Trinity river, en route for Wichita.
And so on through a long communi-
cation.
Gougli is to lecture in Boston, en
the women's movement in Ohio.
