To the Sheriff or any Constable of Wash-

Whereas at the term of our district court

the 1st day of Sept. A. D. 187911 was sug-
gested in open court that Sarah Johnson
defendant in a certain suit therein pending
wherein C Mrokwitzvas plaintiff and the
said Sarah Johnson was defendant has de-
parted this life and it was ordered by the
court that a writ of Scire facias do issue to
the representatives of the said Sarah John
son wnen known; ana it appearing by the
petition of the said C Minknitz filed on
the 27th day of Jan. A. D. 1SS0 that Sal-
He Willie Mollie Lowry Myra. Johnson
Elizabeth Gordy and husband M T. Gor-
dy and Charlotte Gordy and husband
Gordy are the sole representatires of the
said Sarah Johnson. An-? w hcreas said C
Jfinkwiti has made affidavit that the resi-
dences of the said -Myra Johnson Eliza-
beth and Charlotte Gordy and their said
husbands are unknown to him.
Yon are hereby commanded that by mak-
ing publication of this citation in some
newspaper published in the county of
Washington if there be a newspaper pub-
lished in said county but if not then in
any newspaper published in the 32 judicial
district; but if there be no newspaper pub-
lished in said district then in some news-
paper published in the- nearest distrietto
the said 2d district for four consecutive
weeks previous to the return day hereof
you summon Myra Johnson Elizabeth
Gordy and her husband M T Gordy and
Charlotte Gordy and her husba nd Gor-
dy whose residences are unknown to be
and appear before the district court to be
holden in and for the'eounty of Washington
at the courthouse thereof on the first Mon-
day in March next then and there to show
cause if any they each have why they
should not ne made parties defendant to
the said suit and to answer the petition of
said C Minkwitx filed in said court against
the said Sarah Johnson and alleging in sub
stance as follows to-wit:
. I. That on July 5th X87S Sarah John-
son recovered a judment by defendant
againt him in the district court of Washing-
ton county for the recovery of a lot of land
known as lot 91 in the dry of Brenham be-
sides costs of suit 'said cause numbered
5495.
3. Petitioner was then and is now the
owner of a part of said lot being the north
end thereof and adjoining the remaining
part claimed by Thomas Dwyer.
3. PetitionerpaidthesumofTwo Hun-
dred and twenty-fire dollars for said land
and received a converance thereto from :
Emerson and Julia Blood Dec. 4th 1S65.
A. J. GUderconveyed same to Julia Blood;
John R. Weir conveyed the same to A. J.
Gilder and said Sarah Johnson then the
owner of said lot 91 executed and deliver-
ed a general warranty deed in fee simple
for the same to the said John1 R. Weir ; al
or the deeds were of record save the deed
from Tohason to Weir.
4. Said suitNo.5496 was'against petitioner
and Thomas Dwyer for the whole oflot
91 of which Dwyrr claimed four acres
and had valuable improvements erected.
Petitioner's part was unimproved. Satis-
fied of their good title they agreed to de-
fend the suit Dwyer promising to employ
counsel and make defense for ooth to first
term of court; petitioner to pay his propor-
tion of expense.
Dwyer told petitioner that Sayles and
Bassett counsel for Sarah Johnson had
agreed to continue the cause at said July
term of court and petitioner saw a publica-
tion in city papers of proceedings of the
bar association of which said attorneys are
ukuiuh miuuuuuug uic wuuiiiuutc ui
all civil causes for the July term 1878. Peti-
tioner believed the cause continued until
about Sept 1st 1878 the sheriff came to
him with a writ of possession and execu-
tion for costs of suit when he discovered
that judgment as aforesaid had been ten
dereu against him.
5. Thomas Dwyer. traced up the deed
iromaaran jonnsonio jonn it. weirapa
received the same' about June 5th 1878
and Weir's affidavit to this fact is attached
and marked Exhibit A. Dwyer fraudu-
lently concealed the fact from the petitioner
and to save himself attorney fees fraudu
lently sacrificed the rights of petitioner.
That he showed said deed to the attorneys
of said Srxah Johnson and procured them
to dismiss the suit against htm and suffer-
ed them to take judgment for said Sarah
Johnson by default against petitioner
fraudulently concealing the .fact from peti-
tioner andleading him to believe that the
case was continued.
6. Said Dwyer refused to confess to pe-
titioner that said deed( from .Johnson to
Weir is in his possession and refused to
make an affidavit concerning same in this
suit and refuses to produce same.
7. Petitioner has a good defence to said
suit and the said Sarah Johnson well knew
she had nocanse of action and had con-
veyed said lot of land to said John R. Weir
by warranty deed in fee simple; that she
said relying on the chance that said deed
had been lost or destroyed and will not be
proved up and she colluded withDwyerta
defraud petitioner in the recovery of said
judgment.
8. On August 29th 187S the clerk of.
said court issued writ of possession on'
said judgment and execution against peti-
tioner for eighteen dollars and twenty cents
costs of said suit Petitioner applied for
an injunction to the judge of the district
court but not hearing from him he paid
said ccsts and then filed his petitiaon for
new trial.
9. That petitioner will have no remedy
on his warranty and the said warranty is
insufficient in amount to indemnify Hyp.
He prays for citation and for new trial and
to have said judgment annulled and for
costs and general relief said petition ver-
ified by affidavit
And petitioner has filed his application
in writing to the clerk of said court rep-
resenting that the surviving lieirs of said
Sarah Johnson ars Sallie Willie and Mollie
Lowry of Johnson county Texas; and

A test for m Good Speller.
The followiug is saidtc.be a complete
test for a good speller. Give out each
word as it occurs and one who can spell
through without a mistake may be awarded
a diploma in that branch of learning:
"The most skillful ganger I ever knew
was a maligned cobbler armed with a
poniard who drove a peddler's wagon
using a mullein-stalk as an instrument of
coercion to tyrannize over his pony shod
with calks. He was a Galilean Sadduces
and he had a phthisicky catarth diphthe-
ria and the bilious intermittent erysipelas;
a certain sibyl with the sobriquet of Gyp-
sy went into ecsiaacs 01 cacmnnauon ax
seeing him measure a bushel of peas and
piic accmnnc lomaiocs irom & neap
peeled potatoes without dyeing or singe-
; the ttrnitible cue which he wore or be
coming paralysed with a Hemorrhage.
lifting her eyes to the cupola of the capi-
tol to conceal her unparalleled embarrass-
ment making a rough courtesy and not
harassing him with mystifying rarefying
and stupefying innuendoes she gave him a
couge a bouquet of lilies mignonette and
and fuchsias a treatise on mnemonics a
copy of the Apocrypha in hieroglyphics
dagueiTotypes of Mendelssohn and Kos-
ciusko a Kaleidscope a ferrule; a clarionet
some hconce a surcingle a caraeh'an of
symmetrical proportions a chronometer
with a movable balance-wheel a box of
dominoes and a catechism. The ganger
who was also a trafficking rectifier and a
parishioner of mine preferring a wooden
surtout (his choice was referable to a vacil-
lating occasionally-recurring idiosyncrasy)
wofully uttered this apothegm: Life is
checkered; but schism apostasy" heresy
and villainy shall be punished. . The
sibyl apolozingly answered There is no-
tably an allegeable difference between a
canferrable ellipsis and a trisyllabic direre
is. We replied in trochees not impugn-
ing her suspicion."
ii .
Oar laughter.
Perhaps one of the most lamentable er-
rors'of the present day is the manner in
which our girls are trained. While proud
and happy parents are desirous that their
daughters be accomplished in music draw-
ing painting and the languages they seem
to totally ignore the more necessary arts of
housekeeping and home-making or to im
agine the knowledge of such to be de-
grading. We know of no more pitiable
object than a young wife placed at the
head of ihe husband's home utterly ig-
norant of her duties as its mistress. Trials
well calculated to make her life miseiable
await her and manv of the unhappy mar-
riacesofwhichwe know and hear hava
their origin in just such causes; for while
men are loving and indulgent they are sel-
fishand but few have sufficient self denial
to bear patiently the mistakes that in
terfere so materially with their comforts.
A girl who has been raised in a well reg
ulated ana raeny nousenoia cannot un-
derstand the misfortunes of such wives as
we speak of. It is not only a knowledge
of housekeeping which is so essential to
the well-being of a family but it is equally
necessary to be thoroughly acquainted
with thv art of home-making. It does not
do for the wife and mother to limit her
efforts to the wants only physical men-
tal and moral of the family. She mnst
understand how to keep her house clean
and orderly; when and by what means her
bouse became filled with impure air. She
must know what kinds of food arc easiest
digested which kinds nutritious. This of
course demands some knowledge of philo-
sophy ana chemistry. Then too she must
understand how to make clothing suitable
for winter and summer. In short a good
wife and mother must be familiar with the
science of health and the laws of hygine.
rerhapsamorejust and beautiful com-
pliment w-as never paid to woman than the
following by Judge Story:
To the honor to the eternal honor of the
sex be it raid that in the path of duty no
sacrifice is with them too high or too dear.
Nothing is with tnem impossible but to
shrink from what love honor innocence
and religion require The voice of pleas-
ure or of power may pass by unheeded
but the voice of affliction never. The
chamber of the sick the pillow of the dy-
ing thexvigils of the dead the alters of re-
ligion never missed the presence or the sym-
pathies of womanl Timid though she be
and so delicate that the winds of heaven1
may not too roughly visit her on such
occasioas she loses all sense of danger
and assumes a perpetual courage which
knows not and fears not consequences.
Then she displays that undaunted spirit
which neither courts difficulties uor eva-
des thexo; that resignation which mutters
neither murmers nor regret; and that pa-
tience in suffering which seems victorious
even over death itself.
A Beautiful Extract.
Tqe following beautiful extract is from
Biddle's eulogium on Jefferson:
"There lies in the depths of every heart
that dream of our youth and the chastened
wish of manhood which neither cares or
honors can ever extinguish; when hope of
one day resting us from the persuits which
obsorb us; of interposing between our old
age and the tomb some tranquil interval of
reflection; when with feelings not subdued
but softened; with passions not exhausted
but mellowed we may look calmly en the
pas.t without regret and on the future with-
out apprehension. Cut in thetnraultof the
world this vision forever recedes as we
approach it; the passions which hae agita-
tea our life disturb our latest hour; and we
go down to the tomb like the sun into
the ocean with no gentle and gradual
withdrawing of the light of life back to the
sourse which gave it but sullen in its
beamless descent with all its fiery glow
long after it has lost its power and its
splendor."

Something to Remember.
All persons but young men especially
should remember that politeness or civility
or unbanity whichever you please (o call
it is the oil which preserves the machine-
ry of society from destruction. We roust
bend to one another: we must step aside
now ad then and allow others to passt we
must learn to speak pleasantly when irri-
tated and to do things w hich may be hard
to do in order to avoid collision. In a
world to selfish interest and selfish pcr-
suit where every man is intent on his own
special good we must adapt ourselves to
all the drcnanstnnces of our lives aa J noth-
ing will facilitate thw so much as civility.
Young men geneially would be astonish-
ed to find how much of their personal hap-
piness popularity prosperity an4 nseful-
ness depend on their manners.

Stingy Men.
I despise a stingy roan. I don't see how
it is possible for a man to die worth fifty
millions of dollars or ten millions of dol-
lars in city full of want when he meets
almost every day the withered hand of beg-
gary and the w ithered lips of famine. How
a man can withstand all that and hold in'
the clutch of his hand twenty o.- thirty
millions of dollars is past my comprehcn-
sion I do not see how he can do it. I
should not Chink he could do it anymore
than he could keep a pile ot lumber when
hundreds and thousands were drowning in
the sea. Do you know I have known men
who would trust their wives with their
hearts and their honor but not with their
pocketbooks not with a dollar. When I
see a man of thtt kind I always think he
knows whice is most valuable. Think of
making your wife a beggar? Think of
having a wifs that s arraidof you! What
kind of children do yon expect to have with
a beggar and a coward for amolherl Oh
I tell you if you have but a dollar in the
world and you have got to spend it spend
it like a king spend it as though it w ere a
dry leaf and you were Ihe owner of an un-
bounded forest. That's ihe way to spend
it. I had rather be a beggar and spend
my last dollar like a king than be a king
and spend my money like a beggar. If its
?ot to go let it go. Get the best you can
or your family and look as well as you
can yourself. I ngersoll.
Some people are always tired-
edly so. Wheu they get up tin
uufeiini-
get up tired in the
mornig they fchould try and ascertain Ihe
canse of the trouble. It is very often due
to defective ventilation of ihe bed-room or
from using an undue amount of w arm bed-
clothes and bedding. Feather bedsaretoo
soft and yielding and partially cnvelop-
the sleeper thus producing profuse perspie
ration. The habit of lying too much un-
der blankets h also very pernicious by
reason of the carbonic aci J exhaled by the
sleeper being reipiffjj. Again it a com-
mon error to suppose that by simply open-
ing a window a httle at the top a room
can be ventilated. People forget that for
J roper ventilation there must be an inlet
or the air. In bed-rooms there is often
neither and if there is a fire-place U U gen-
erally closed up. Again it is a mistake
to suppose that foul air goes to the top
for the chief impurity the carbonic acid
falU to the bottom. There U nothing so
efficacious in removing the lower strata
of air as the ordinary open fireplace r.pe-
dally if there a fire burning.

STATE CONVETIOX.
Office ot the Chabman of the
Democratic Executive Com
miitce.
Dallas February 6. '8c.
To tbe Democratic rarty of the State
of Texas:
A state convention is hereby
called to meet in the city of
Galveston on Tuesday April
20 1880 for the purpose of se
lecting delegates to represent
the democrats of Texas in the
approaching national democrat-
ic convention. The members
of the executive and chairman
of the county committees are
hereby requested to take the
necessary steps to secure the
organization of the party and
for the assembling of the pri-
mary meetings in their respec-
tive distiricts and counties.
Whenever from any cause it is
found impracticable to hold
county conventions it is reques-
ted that the executive commit-
tees in such counties appoint
delegates to represent the same
counties in the state convention.
The basis of representation as
fixed by the convention at Aus-
tin is as follows: One delegate
for every three hundred votes
and one for a fraction over one
hundred and fifty votes. Hav-
ing perfect faith in the princi-
ples of the democratic party
and believing that concert of
action is necessary to secure
success I take the liberty of
"nhff upon democrats every-
where in Texas a thorough or-
ganization for the impending
canvass both state and national.
Very respectfully.
E. J. Bower.
Chairman Democratic Execu
tive Committee of Texas.
The subject of occupation
tax is attracting some attention.
During Coke's administration
the occupation tax paid by mer-
chants was as follows: 1st class
$50; 2d $30; 3d $20; 4th 510 and
5th 5 Under the present law
made by the sixteenth legisla-
ture the occupation tax on
merchants is 1st class $200; 2d
Sioo; 3d$50; 4th .$30 and 5th
220. The increase if from two
hundred to four hundred per
cent.
The vote of the state demo-
cratic executive committee was
canvassed on the 5th inst. by
E. G. Bonner chairman.in com-
pany with committemen.Guinn
Chenowith and Trollenger. Gal-
veston is named as the place
and April 20th as- the time for
holding the state convention
for the purpose of selecting del-
egates to the national demo-
cratic convention. Replies were
received from 28 cf the 31 dis-
tricts. The call will soon be is-
sued. A sjeciai. from Topeka
Kansas says the officers of the
freedmen's relief association
have been instructed by the di-
rectors of the association to de-
vise and put in operation some
practicable method of averting
the constantly increasing immi-
gration to Kansas. An effort
will be made to turn the tide to
other states where there is more
need of laborers. We think
that a few hundred thousand
negroes in Massachusetts would
be a good thing. The Kansas
relief association has found it
impossible to maintain the hun-
dreds ofimmigrants who have
lately arrived.
Elsewhere is published the
call of Hon. E. G. Bower chair
man ot the democratic execu-
tive committee of Texas for a
state convention to meet at
Galveston April 20th next
There exists in this county an-
urgent necessity for a thorough
and complete organization of
party and the present time af-
fords a splendid opportunity.
Past differences and dissentions
should be laid aside and the
party be put in condition to poll
its full strength for the state
ticket and for congressman
without regard to the course
determined upon for county
officials There should be no
more bolting.
The Fort Worth Demooat
which by the way is a live and
excellent newspaper says that
unless its daily edition receives
a more generous patronage it
will vacate the field for some
one with more money or better
prepared to live on nothing.
The Democrat has labored long
and earnestly in the interest of
Fort Worth and mainiy to it is
the Fort indebted for its name
and fame abroad. Many men
in all interior towns refrain from
patronizing their home papers
evento the extent of a subscrip-
tion through they never neglect
an opportunity of borrowing a
neighbors paper. The diily
press in the smaller towns of
Texas is not patronized as it de-
serves to be.
The San
Antonio Express
petition for the
says that a
commutation of the death sen
tence of Lanham the murderer
of Georgia Drake is being
circulated. It says that
it should be remembered
that men as bad as Lanham
when at liberty can circulate a
petition if they so desire but
getting the signature of law-
abiding and order-loving citi-
zens thereto is a different thing.
The Exptcss then calls atten-
tion to the fact that many men
will sign a petition justbecause
they are asked to and without
thought of the probable conse-
quences rather than refuse the
person presenting it. Petition1;
of this character should as a
general tiling carry no weight.
