IN THK Gil 15EN OAK NEIGH-
BORHOOD BY GOOD
CITIZENS.
The Vlperoue Tongue of Slander la Sharp,
But n Cutting Whalebone Whip
Was the Remedy.
Soft buzzing slander is tho silky
moth that eats an honest name.
A wretch that drops from his en-
venomed tongue basely- false reports
about a woman, or dares to traduco
because he can, is not a man.
A young man by nameJas. l'attersou
fouud out these facts Jby sad experi-
ence in the Green Oak neighborhood a
few days ago.
He located in that settlement last
fall aud behaved very well until re-
cently when some slanderous reports
about some of the ladies of the neigh-
borhood were traced to him. Ho was
given warning that they had better
not be repeated or more of a like char-
acter heard, but in the busy talking
world he seemed to think he was a
potent factor in scattering to the four
winds the licentious breath of scandal
and done so once too often. A few of
the parties at in tores t^secu red a good
whale bono buggy whip, went to
where the young man was working
aud taking him to a secluded place
where his yells would not disturb the
peace of the neighborhood or fall upon
pitying ears, and there after lecturing
him upon the error of his way of
throwing his sting into a poisonous
libel, aud on the honor of the fair
name of ladies—tbe nearest dearest
part of all men's homes they
WORE OfT THE IIUGUY Willi'
on linn and gave him a reasonable
leugth of time in which to wind up
his business in Washington county
and leave for a climate more congenial
to his kind, which if lie couldn't find
he could reform his ways aud start
different in a different locality.
He was a little slow about getting
oft and had asked for tbe loan of ft gun
in the neighborhood; when be was
warueil for the secoud time and the
community Informed that tbe man
that gave him shelter would be given
a dose of tlio same medicine aud his
dose doubled if lie did not leave at
once.
He came to Brenliam aud left on the
north bouud Kauta Fe a few days ago
and nothing has been heard from him
since, and tho community is congratu-
lating itself upon bis riddance, bis
room being considered wortli more
than bis company.
The Pecnn Crove Emancipation Cele-
bration.
The colored peoplo of Pecan grove
school community met and celebrated
the 20th year of thoir emancipation at
A. W. Watson's grove 2A miles south-
east of Brenham, where they wit-
nessed one of tbe grandest affairs of
their lives.
Dinner was prepared at 2:30 o'clock,
at which time the people were called
to order by the Marshal of the day,
Lewis Coflield. Professor Richard
Hunt, orator of the day, made his ad-
dress, which was highly appreciated,
in conclusion he bid strangers and vis-
itors welcome to the advantages of
the beautiful shady grounds, the
puro spring water, the well laden ta-
bles, and the hospitality of the people
of bis community.
Among other things the orator of
the day said :
Ladies and Gentlemen :
I feel it a duty and a most benevo-
lent one, assigned to me by your most
honorable committee, in finding space
upon the columns of your circulars,
for my name to serve you on to-day as
orator; while I feel that 1 am the
poorest choice they could have made,
1 will respond to that call with the
greatest of pleasure; whatsoever you
may hear of me, as a speaker, that
comes short of appreciation, and af-
fords to you fit meat for criticism, do
it in a spirit of truth and forgiveness;
and remember at tho same time that
all men are not speakers. As all oth-
er nations of this great union have
certain days to celebrate, we, the poor
aud despised negroes of this aud
the surrounding communities have
met here upon these shady grounds to
celebrate the 20th year of our emanci-
pation in poace, love and harmony.
Yes it was on this day 20 years ago
that good old granger of the United
States army entered Galveston aud
declared freedom to our fathers aud
mothers who had beenllalwring faith-
fully under the yoke of bondage since
the first history of our race in the
State of Texas. It is for such men as
food old Abraham Lincoln, General
r. S. Grant and others, that we have
met here to commemorize. Men that
by their political views accidentally
won for us our dead and paralyzed
liberties. The negroes of the south
were liberated June 10, 1865, Many
of whom were as ignoraut as some of
the tribes of Africa. Knowing nothing
of literature arts or sciences, not even
the four fundamental rules of arithme-
tic. But after tbe passage of the 13th,
14th and 15th amendments to the con-
stitution of the I'nited States, the
negroes were;, gradually allowed the
rights of citizens to not bo denied on
the account of race, color or previous
conditions of servitude. Soon the
public free schools were opened, and
the poor negroes began their perpetual
strike for education, in which branch
we have made a remarkable success.
A fact that can be earnestly witnessed
by any nation of the Globe. Look at
the elevation of our race since ou
emancipation with reference to our
farmers, mechanics, elocutiouists, doc-
tors, lawyers, preachers and teachers.
We have some of the best iu the
world. With them I am forced to be-
lieve that the negroes have in some
degree struck the right road that
leads to civilization. The day will
soon come aud I feel it near at baud
wheu we, the uegroes of the I'nited
States, will be noted not for the
strength of our muscles, but for j>ower
of that intellect which moves the
world.
Brenham has tbe base balI fever
right this season as evidenced by the
crowds that go out when there i< a
prospect for a good game.
We are giving better yaluo this
season than ever before. Our various
low Shes, Ties Oxfords, Slippers aud
Button Shoos aro made of the best
material, fit better, look better and
give better satisfaction generally than
any lino of shoes wo have ever offered.
Wehayejust received a fresh lot of
serviceable Oxfords, patent tip or
plain at

We warrant them in every particular
and guarantee them to be equal to any

Celebrate The Clorious Fourth.

tends the grand 4th of Julv celebra-
tion at Fireman's park by tiie Wash-
ington Camp of ex-Confederates.
Everybody is invited to come out.

day.
A period has been reached ill our

citizens of the land, old as well as
youug, should have their attention
focused at least once a year upon the
civic institutions under which they
live aud that a spirit of pride and
loyalty should be fostered which in
time to come may be the surest safe-
guard of republican government.

BRINHAM AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
LaGrange Med the Umpire Thin Time.
Tho Famous nine of this city and
the LaGrange nine crossed bats at
Stockbridgo pasture Friday afternoon.
This was a return game, the Famous
nine having gone over there a few
weeks since and played them a game,
defeating them.
La Grange went to the bat and
scored four runs, Brenham evening up
with four iu the first.
In the secoud Inning LaGrange was
shut out and Brenham piled up four
runs.
In the third LaGrange made one
talley and shut Brenham out.
In the fourth both teams failed to
score.
In tho fifth LaGrange was shut out
and Brenham made two runs.
In the sixth each side mado one
score.
In the seventh both sides again
failed to score, though a home run
was knocked by Dick Lewis and be
was put out within a foot of the home
plate.
In the eighth each sido scored one
run.
LaGrange went to the bat in the
ninth, but only made one tally, bring
their score up to 8, while Brenham's
stood at 12, easy winners.
The "Famous" admirably sustained
their reputation of being invincible.
The LaGrange team were handi-
capped by two boys in their nine, but
they couldn't complain at the umpire,
for he was their man and his decis-
ions, while he seemed to be trying to
do the fair thing, had a decided bias
towards the LaGrange team.
Dick Lewis, of the Famous, knocked
two home runs.
The catcher for the LaGrange nine
was a regular monkey in his antics
and kept the crowd laughing during
the entire game. He was the best
player in tbe team.

"Crops are the finest I ever saw in
my life. They couldn't be better. The
rains have been opjiortune to a nicety.
In production, the soil will cap its
acme.'' That is about the effect of tbe
answers given by the farmers when
asked al>out the condition of crops.
A Caldwell special says: "(icorge
Mosely, a colorod man, employed as a
barber by Dan McKinney, used lan-
guage that was of so violent a nature
and so calculated tostir up strife when
making a 19th speech near town, that
a committee asked him to leave. He
left on the north bound train Wednes-
day. The leading colored people of
the city gave him no sympathy what-
ever.
A Burleson county young man suc-

A Ilrnre Butcher.
Tlio author of the "Breitmann Bal-
lads, ' Mr. C. G. Leland, was living in
Munich, opposite a medifrval tavern
called tho Obur Pollinger. His land-
lady was a pico old soul, with two
daughters. On tho ground floor of
the house was a storo ia which cut-
lery aud fireworks were sold.
Early one morning Leland and a
friend were sitting on a bench lieforo
tho tavern, waiting for a stagecoach
to take them out of town. Suddenly
bang! bang! crack! was heard from
tho fireworks, and puffs of smoke
were seen coming out of tho bursting
windows.
Tho front store was on flic. It was
full of rockets, crackers and other
fireworks. In tho hack store tliero
was a barrel of gunpowder, which
Mr. Leland had seen a few days be-
fore when buying powder for his
pistols.
Tho family were asleep. Leland
ran across the street and rushed up
three flights of stairs, screaming: "It
burns! There's gunpowderSnatch-
ing a small bag containing his money,
he tumbled mother and daughters
down stairs.
Ho was just in time to see a stal-
wart butcher burst open the two inch
door with an ax and roll out the bar-
rel of gunpowder, 200 pounds, as tho
flames were licking the staves! The
butcher saved them all, doing his
work as calmly as if ho hail been
butchering an ox. "Peace hath her
victories no less renowned tliau war."

Velocity of Electricity.
Science of Common Things says
that tho velocity of electricity is
so greut that tho most rapid motion
produced by art appears to be actual
rest when compared to it. Some au-
thorities nave estimated that electric-
ity will pass through copper wire at
tho rate of 280,000 miles in a single
second of time—a velocity greater
than that of light.
On the common aerial telegraph
wire it has been found thut the sub
tie fluid does not travel at a speed ex-
ceeding 16,000 miles per second,
most authorities giving it as 14,000.
It should be noted in this connection
that tho velocity of transmission in-
creases with tho distanco between
tho wires and the earth, or, in other
words, with the height of suspension.
Subterranean wires, such as ocean
and river cables, transmit moro
slowly. Experiments made at McGill
college, Montreal, a year or two ago
proved that tho time required for a
telegraphic signal to pass from that
point to Greenwich, England, and
back again was but 1.05 seconds.
The distanco traveled by the current
in that infinitesimal portion of timo
was nearly 8,000 miles. The figures
given in tlio opening. 280,000 miles
]>er second, wore deduced by Wheat-
stone in 18311, but have never been
confirmed.
* ruMiIng a Boston Girl.
"Is this a smoking car?" she asked
in choice Bostoncse as she peered
through her girlish spectacles into
the uncultured conductor's face.
"No, miss,'' he answered, with a
glad, joyous feeling that for once ho
was getting even with a woman. "It
is not."
She disappeared into the interior of
the car, but in a few moments came
out livid with wrath.
"You—told - me," she said in icy
tones, "that it was not a smoking
car."
"It is not, miss. None of our cars
smokes. It is the smokers' car."—

several times a day. At the same time we gave
him Cuticura Resolvent three times a day.
After having attended him for two weeks, his

Tliis is the point at which the Colorado
Midland Div sion of the Santa Fe crosses
the Continental Divide in Colorado, and is
11,500/eet above tho sea level. From the
summit one may look down the mountain side
and see live parallel track, covering a distance
of fourteen miles, winding up the mountain
side This, with the spots of snow, furnishes
a picture hard to describe.
This scene of nature has been painted by
Mr. Chas. Graham, the renowned scenic artist
from which a tine steel engraving has been
made, mounted on heavy Brtstof board, site
29x54 inches. This engraving is one of the
most attractive and nature-true pictures ol
mountain scenery ever executed.
I These pictures are high-art advertisements
of nature as it is, and nothing shows thai they
aro distributed by the Santa Fe Route. A
limited number of these pictures, unframed.
may be secured at f 1.50 for the lithograph,
and f 3 for the engraving, and will be sent by

This Titan of Chasms is the grandest ai\p
j most sublime scene in the known world. No-

The beauties of this grand scene have re-
j centlv been portrayed by Ameiica'j greatest
landscape painter, Mr. Thomas Moran, in a
painting 6x12 feet, shown at the World's Fair,
| and valued at $25,000.00. By special per
j mission of the owner to the Santa Fe Route,
j a lithograph, si/e 29*42 inches, has been
made, which in all its details is an exact >#•
production of the painting itself, and is worthy
a place and display on the walls nf'any
man's patlor.
