WE WOULD CALL
the attention of adver-
tiser* to the fact that the
circulation of the COUNTRYMAN is
rapidly increasing in Austin county and
t hroughout the State, and that this paper
furnishes a good medium fur making
Known their business to the people of the
interior. *f
HEMPSTEAD LOCALS.
Our young friend, E. 0. Blake, has
■Leen appointed Express agent in
place of J. W. Nuner, who resigned.
Cotton.-'Largo amounts of cotton
are arriving daily. The platform at
the depot is always covorod. Mr.
Royal is kept constantly busy fixing
up the papers to allow it to be trans-
ported.
Almanacs.—Almanacs for 18G7,
mny bo had for nothing at E. II.
Barsantee's, who also bas an assort-
ment of cigars, tobacco, pipes, pens,
ink, paper, school books, etc., etc,
which will be sold on reasonable
terms.
The Installation.—A public in
fitallation of the officers of the Masonic
Lodge was held on the 27 th of De-
cember last. Addresses were deliver-
ed by Judge Day and Rev. Dr.
Hutchinson. A fine band was iu at-
tendance. It was a fine sight to sou
a hundred Masons in procession, and
all in regalia. Mr. Graves kindly
tendered the use of his academy, and
the services wero accordingly held
there. The room was crowded with
spectators. The procession thon re
turned to the Masonic Hall and dis-
banded to meet at Mrs. Baylu's hotel
at early candle-light. At 11 o'clock
they convened in the dining-room and
partook of one of the finest suppers of
the season. A hundred bottles of
chatnpaigne made all hearts merry
and tongues limber, to say nothing of
the weak knees. Past Grand Mas-
•ter, R. M. Elgin, came up on the
evening train and participated with us
on the occasion. Take it all in all it
was one «f the grandest parties ever
had in Ilem-pstead.
Mortuary—We are pained to re-
cord the death of our fellow-citizen,
Thomas B.. Stevenson, who expired
after an illness of only eleven days.
His diseased was Typhoid Pneumonia.
• Physicians did all that could bo done,
but the fell destroyer had too strong
a held. Iu his death Hempstead has
lust one of its most enterprising and
iudustriou3 citizens. Wo extend our
sympathies to the bereaved.
The Mail.—This morning's train,
Jan. 2Gth, from Brenlmm brought us
the Countryman greatly improved in
appearance since the former issue,
owing no doubt to an improvement in
the roller.
The Cotton Factory.—A visit to
the Cotton Factory at this place will
•well repay one for the time spent.—
The Company have their machinery
all in
order
now.
The
Superintendent, Mr. Rome, who is
said to be one of the most experienced
J.tctory-men in the State, says the
machinery íb working splendidly, and
that it is all first-chiss work. The
.Company expect to be making cloth
in a few days. Their engine is en-
tirely new and oí the locomotive ol-
der ; it works finely. Success attend
i be enterprise.
tit7i. A. S. Johnson.—The romains
of this distinguished Toxian and
hero arrived hero o te day this week.
Though there was much feeling there
•was no public demonstration. The
party having tlia romains in charge
proceeded direct to Breuham, and
thence to Austin.
We believe that the radicals are
in perpetual alarm lest the negroes
should exercise the lights of ircemen,
.and como among them. This ap-
prehension on their part explains why
t hoy are doing all they ,can to make
■CulFoe contented where he is. They
•know that if the North, either by
suffrage or other superior attractions,
invites the negroes, that they will
tcome. This they dread, and they
want to bribe them to stay at home.
—Richmond Times.
The great superiority of .Swedish
and Russian iron to that of the Eng-
lish is causod by the circnmstance
that wood, or "vegetable fuel," it
«sed iu its mnnufactiue, instead of
"mineral fuel," The peat bogs of
Ireland furnish a fuel which is found
to be much better than English pit
coal for smelting metal, producing
iron of a finer and purer character ;
and in England common cut turf is
■often mixed in the coal when iron of
a superior quality is to be made,
Efifeot of Negro Suffrage in the
Distrlot of Columbia.
Jt is ctuious, writes a Washington
correspondent, to see how easily the
mind of the politician accommodates
itself to the existing condition of
things. But yestrerday the Wash-
ington or Georgetown negro was
nothing but a "nigger"—a nnisance
if you will, a creature without couse-
quence at least. Now, behold how
changed ! Law has put the ballot into
his hands, and he is a king in his own
right. Yesterday, the politician kick-
ed and cuffed hiin off the side walk ;
to-fyiy he crooks the preguant hinges
of the knee before him. And now,
as of old, it is that thrift may follow
fawning ; for, being in the full senso
a citizen, Cuffee may make and un-
make office-holders. However it mny
be elsewhere, hero he is master of the
situation, and Patrick has been de-
throned from his high place in the
Democratic tabernacle. The first
election under the new suffrage law
will occur in Georgetown next nonth
when a Mayor and some minor offi-
cers are to be chosen. Mr. Addison,
the present Chief Magistrate of the
old and sleepy borough, has occupied
that position for many years, and is
not at all averse to occupying it for
at least one term more. He sees, as
every other man of intelligence sees,
that the negroes of the city hold the
balance of power, and he and his
friends are nursing the negro vote as
carefully and tenderly as ever the
Tammany politic'ans nursed the
Irish vote. In this city no election
will be held until June, but the Dem-
ocratic leaders are already" hedging'
most industriously. Negroes get
work under the City Government far
moro easily than they did last Fall ;
and, in a quiet way, the whole brood
of office-holders is cultivating amica-
ble relations with the freedmen. I ex-
pect to learn in May that several per-
sons whom I have believed, for four
or five years, to bo most intense ne-
gro haters, have always bean very
well disposed toward Sambo and his
fellows—in fact, among their warmest
and morst disinterested friends.
English Scotch and Irish Ser-
vants.—Our f.iends, E. C. Wharton
&, Co, of the "Texas Agency" and"
Advertising Agency," No. SS Com-
mon street, have been for same
months quietly arranging to bring
over English, Scotch and Irish ser-
vants, under orders from parties iu
this country. Their first venture,
somo twenty or more persons, male
and female, arrived three days since
on the ship Coluta, au i have been
dispatched to different points of
Texas. Messrs. Wharton 8c Co.
now announce that they are prepared
to fill orders for Engl'sh, Scotch and
Irish house servants, grooms, gar-
deners, carriage drivers, cooks, etc.,
and the terms aro stated in their ad-
vertisement in to-day's paper.
Their agent at Liverpool is an
Englishman by birth, who is known
to us, and who, for twenty years, has
boen a resident of Texas. He writes
them that he has seven hundred ap-
plications registered, awaiting their
orders-—all with the best of recom-
mendations.
Messrs. Wharton & Co. inform
us that there are now two young Eng-
lishman at their office—one a gar-
dener—who are waiting to make en-
gagements.- •• Pica y tine
Clinching a Sormon.
I heard a sermon once from a ven-
erable itinerant preacher on bonevo
lonce. I thought the effort very lean,
but one thing impressed nn a little.
"Go," said he, "and do something
after I have done preaching. H ive
it to say when I couu b:ick, four
weeks hone.), that you lnve done
somethiug, and my word and God's
word for it, you will be a better and a
happier man.' 1 knew a poor widow
living on the edge of some woods
about a mile from my home. Iler
husband had been dead two or thrue
years, and with three helpless little
gills she had a hard conflict with
poverty, lhadofum spoken kindly
to her and thought my duty ended
when the words were uttered; but
when the sermon of the old white-
headed preacher was done, the ivho-
lution was formed to go and do some
thing- Next day I visited the cellar
and me lured out a bushel of pota
toes a bushel of apples, anda varie-
ty of other things, nn l having put
them into a wagon, started for the
cottage of the wid >w. A load of
wood, for which I paid three dollars,
preceded me. An hour's drive brought
both loads in front of the house, and
when my explanation was given there
wero wet eyes and warmer hearts in
both parties. The widow wept for
joy and the children joined in, while
I, finding my feelings too much for
my stlength, had to give way also to
tears. The act was one that gave
me a spiritual start; and when the
preacher came back 1 thought the
discoruso one of the most eloqueut I
had ovar listened to. The chauge
was in myself, not in him or bis
preachiug.—Ex.
A distinguised ex-Comfederate of-
ficer, who was wounded in every bat-
tle in which he was engaged, and
they were many—who has lost an
eye, and has a stiff arm, from a bad
fracture--who also bad his slaves,
houses, furnituro and everything in
the shape of property confiscated and
sold,-—was dunned in tke city a few
days ago for a bill for brogana fur-
nished to his negroes iu 18G0. Our
ex-Confed., with characteristic good
humor, thought such a demand was
rather a rich joke, and very pleasan-
tly referred the holder of the bill to
his respectod colored fellow citizens
who bad derived all the advantages
from the use of said brogans ; and
who, lie was satisfied, would scorn to
have their debts paid by any other
person. The man who presented
that bill, under the circumstances,
must have boen pretty hard up for
money. <—N. O. Times.
Inversion.—Col. Roy, of the Selma
Mcs?enger, writing to that pat er from
St. Louis, says.
There is a curious inversion of
names and things is St Louis. The
Democratic paper.is the "Republican,'
and the Republican paper is the
"Democrat." The city persists in
growing down the river instead of
up, in defiance of all precedent: and
Gen. McNeil, whose hi nds aro reek-
ing with the blood of murdered Con-
federate prisoners, is on the commit-
tee for the relief of the widows and
orphaus of Confederate soldiers 4in
Missouri, Heaven save the mark!
It is explained on the plea of the
necessity for making friends with the
mammon of unrighteousness ; but I
pity the widows and orphans whose
daily bread is received from such
hands.
A Iloosier at the Astor.—B. met
on the train an elderly lloosiei, who
had Leon to the show-case at New
York, and who had seen the hi-po-
dro-me, as he called it. Did you
remain long in New York 1" asked B.
•'Well, no," ho answera, thought-
fully ; "only two days; fur I saw
there was a right smart chance of
starving to death, and I'm opposed
to that way of going down. I put
up at ewe of their -taverns, and 1 al-
lowed I was going to bo treated to
the whole." "Where did you stop ]"
said B , interrupting him. "At the
Hoffman House. I allow you don't,
ketch mo in no such a place ngain.—
They rung a gong, as they call it,
four times after breakfast; and then,
when I went to eat, there wasn't nary
vittles on the table. "What was
there ?" B. ventured to inquire.—
"Well," said the old man, enumerat-
ing the items cautiously, as if from
fear of omission, "there was a clean
plate wrong side up ; a knife, a clean
towel, a spittoon and a hand bill; and
what was worse.," added the old man
"the insultiu' nigger up and asked ine
what I wanted? "Vittles,' said 1,
''bring in your vittles, and I'll help
myself.' "
The stylo of typography, and illus-
trations by wood cuts, adopted by
some of the Northern publishers of
periodicids can only bo warranted by
a very largo circulation. The Ameri-
can Agriculturist, for January. 1SG7,
is profusely illustrated with cuts that
rival, if, indeed, they are not superior
to Leslie and Harper in execution.
The paper and print is cftlie best,
! and if it wore not so much devoted to
Northern agriculture, this publication
would be erf great value to Southern
planters. Wo select from its png'ss
such items as suit this region, a.id re-
fer out readers to it for many reliable
hints about farming matters.
| We know of no scientific weekly
! south of the Potomac that rivals, or
! approaches the American or the Ar-
I tisan, and are disposed to regard them,
' all things considered, superior to any
similar European publication.—AT.
