T« Persons Desiring information
About Texas.
• The Nsws is in daily receipt of letters from
iifferent sections—often covering small re-
uittanees—asking for the Tun Almanac,
particular information of some special place
or general description of the State. Since the
iiscontinuance of the Texas almanac the
News has made a specialty of State news,
which embraces articles descriptive of the
different counties, resources, products, man-
ufactures, schools, churches, etc., from which
much more satisfactory knowledge may be
obtained than from any annual volume, how-
ever elaborate and complete. The practice is
heooming general, when information is desired
from citizens of the State fey parties abroad,
to send copies of the Daily or weekly News in
H«u of any of the annual publications. The in
formation afforded through the News has the
advantage of being tresh, concise and authen-
tic. and is afforded cheaper than through any
Other source. It is suggested to persons,
whether in the State or out of it, who wish to
become acquainted with the characteristics
of the counties of Texas, value of lands, pro-
ducts, markets, condition of schools, society,
et<\, that by subscribing to the Daily or
Weekly News, they may obtain all they re-
quire in the most readable and reliable form,
and for less expense than by any other means.

Rogues Gn'lery.
Capt. Owens has the photographs of
200 bad men hung up in his private
r ffice. lie has the likeness of nearly
all the real noted thieves and burglars
who operate south of St. Louis, and by
these he thinks he can identify any of
the gang who mny appear in this city
to ply their pr fessions. The photos
are teatlj framed, and give quite an
artistic adorning to the private quarters
of the Chief.
Prisoners to Arrive.
Sheriff Jordan yesterday received a
telegram from F. L. Busch, sheriff of
Calhoun county, asking accommoda-
tion in the jail of this county for Wm.
Taylor, who is under indictment for
murder. He also received a telegram
from A. L. Bass, sheriff of Gonzales
county, asking that he receive for safe
keeping Brown Bowen, who has been
convicted of murder in that county.
To this dispatch Mr. Jordan responded
saying that the jail was full and he had
no room to spare.
The New fewer.
The new sewer placed across Strand
street at its intersection with Twenty-
fourth street withstood the force of the
recent floods admirably. It is made of
cement pipe from the factory of A.
Connally, and so well nas it served its
mission that a petition will be circular
ted asking the Council to have it ex*
tended to the bay. Street Overseer
McDermot was engaged with a force of
men cleaning out the sewer running
parallel with P. J. Willis & Bro.'a store
yesterday. It was nearly filled With
mud. _
Local Personals.
S. A. Bowen, contracting agent of
the South Shore Line, is in the city.
Charles McKinney, sheriff of Goliad
county, is at the Commercial.
Hon. J. W. Middlebrook, of Colum-
bus, Texas, is at the Girardin.
S. H. Gale, E. P. Tyson and G. Ja-
retzke, of New York, are at the Tre-
mont.
Judge J. L. Darragh has returned to
the city after an absence of several
months North and East.
Col. James Lincoln, sheriff of Goliad
county, passed through the city Thurs-
day, with two prisoners for Huntsville
—Frank Kellison, one of the bank rob-
bers, sent for nine years, and E. Brown,
two cases for horse stealing, five years
each and one case for ox stealing, two
years. The grand jury found twenty-
two indictments for violation of local
option law. Bill Taylor had his case
continued in Calhoun county, and will
be sert to Galveston for safe-keeping.

RAIN.
Consequences and Results, and the
Demand for Me Immediate Attend
tlon of the Authorities they So-
ftest.
Yesterday morning the few straggling
clouds that still hung in the heavens
were soon dispelled by the rays of the
sun, which came out full and all the
brighter for the two days rest they
have enjoyed. Men moved out of their
dwellings to their places of business
considerably relieved in their feelings
by the prospects of good weather.
Nearly every one had a tale of distress
to unfold, which had been visited upon
their premises by the heavy rainfall of
the past two days. Many of them went
to their homes the night before in the
torrents that were falling from the
bursting clouds, and not a few of them
were compelled to wade through water
knee-deep before reaching the inviting
security afforded by comforts within
their lintels.
the INSPECTION.
A News reporter mounted himself on
a high horse and started out on thd
search for the despeiate results that
had been left by the storm. Going out
Bath avenue to the Texas Press, he
found that the ditches along Avenue N
had been overcharged, and had forced
the water back through the gutter that
drains the south yard of that institu
tion. A good deal of cotton, that could
not be accommodated by the sheds, was
left in the yard, but the drainage is so
well arranged as to have occasioned
little cr no damage to it. Two or three
days of fair weather will remove all
traces of exposure that have been expe-
rienced by the cotton thus left to weath-
er the rainfall. "All hands" were out
and at work arranging everything about
the yard and press, preparatory for a
vigorous resumption of the daily duties
that are here discharged.
THE WORST PLACE
detected was that low section that lies
between avenues L and N, and bounded
east and west by Bath avenue and
Thirty fifth street. There is still a
broad th^et ot water standing in all the
vacant lots in this neighborhood, while
the streets have been transformed into
a sort of self-improvised sewer, through
which the water is flowing at the slow
rate invited by the even grade that pre-
vails. To travel on foot with dry shoes
in this section is an impossibility.
THE FOOT OP BATH AVENUE
was next visited. The breakwater
erected at this spot by the City Council
in 1875 still stands, but it has "sur-
vived its usefulness," and cow sub-
serves no better purpose than to warn
all subsequent engineers that it is not
the sort of a breakwater that will with-
stand the assaults of old Neptune's
forces. A bayou has cut around the
west end of the structure, through
which the water that usually accumu-
lates on this thoroughfare is carried
into the gulf. Excepting the flow in
the side ditches which empties into
this bayou, Bath avenue is in a passable
condition to the beach.
Near the breakwater, lying high and
dry on the beach, is a buoy which has
broken loose from its moorings some-
where in the gulf, and which should be
taken in charge by those whose duty it
is to do so.
THE BEACH
was never in a finer condition. The
rainfall has washed back into the gulf
every vestige of grass and other matter
that usually defines the flow of the
tide, and all along the entire sweep of
the shore a most beautiful and inviting
drive may be seen, without a single ob-
stacle to mar its smoothness.
THE NINETEENTH STREET DRAIN
along the south end of that street has
resolved itself into a first-class bayou
also. This old source of complaint
needs attention badly. The street
leading to the beach is e'ntirely monopo-
lized by the water that is using it as a
channel for its passage into the sea.
Property lying along it is being in-
jured reriously, both by the caving
that results from the deepening of the
channel and from the loss of sand that
is being washed away by the current
that flows through it. There is a low
place that may be bound north and
south by Avenues Q and L and east
and west by Twentieth and Sixteenth
streets, which acts as a sort of natural
reservoir for the reception and reten-
tion of a large amount of the rain that
falls in this section. It is from this
lake that the Nineteenth street drain
draws the supply of water that flows
through it.
ANOTHER LOW PLACE NOTED
is on Avenue I and the streets that in-
tersect it from Twentieth street as far
east as Sixteenth street. The water
standing in all the low places north of
Broadway are simply imprisoned by
embankments, and unless relieved will
remain where it is until evaporation
and absorption shall cause their disap-
pearance.
THE SEWEI13
in many places have had the earth
washed from under them, and to cross
them with vehicles of any ordinary
weight is an undertaking that is accom
panied with more or less danger.
At the intersection of Market and
Twenty-f'x h streets, along the front
owned by Mr. M. L. Scott, there is a
very bad dilch cut out by the water.
The neighbors are trying to dignify it
with the the title of Scott's canal. Un-
less soon repaired it will undermine a
brick wall and a pavement which cost
the proprietor §500 to construct. He
has the wail temporarily braced up
with boards, but until a sewer is put
down and the grade of the street is re
stored, be can promise himself no pro-
tection from these precautionary meas-
ures.
CONCLUSION.
The streets are in a bad condition
generally, but when it is remembered
that more than nine inches of rain has
fallen during the past two days, a con-
siderable allowance can be made for the
uninviting appearance they present.
GERTOAN LI THER.1N FAIR.
Disappointed.
The ladies of the German Benevolent
Society went to a heavy expense in
order to prepare an inviting and inter-
esting entertainment for their friends,
from which they hoped to realize a con-
siderable sum, to be disbursed in chari-
table objects, but the rain storm came
on and|their " teaparty " was checked.
Of course they felt very much disap-
pointed in their disappointment; but
nothing daunted their efforts were re-
newed, and last night witnessed a lively
time within the precincts of Turner
Hall. The beautiful weather induced
the people to turn out, and the spirit of
pleasure that would have been distri-
buted through three nights of the fair
seemed condensed in last night, the
third according to the original pro-
gramme.
THE HALL
was decorated with flags of several na-
tions, and oleander festoons hanging
from the galleries and entwined about
the posts, with arches of green at the
different stands. The first of these, on
the right as one enters the room, was
presided over by Misses Zeigler and
frank. Here was dispensed iced lemon-
ade. The fountain was appropriately
incased in a rustic rock heap and over-
hung with oleander festoons. On
the left of the door a soda and mead
fountain similarly shaped, was presided
over by Miss Junemann and sister. The
rock work was an object of admiration
and creditable to Mr. Coers, the gentle-
man who gave his time to its construc-
tion. Passing the ice lemonade stand
the postoffice came in view, where
Misses Carrie Dane and Lott have a
letter for you, gentle reader,
as the novels say. Next to
this Mrs. Zeigler and Mrs. Aschoff
preside over a perfect sea of
beautiful needle-work, crocheting and
articles of vertu, for sale and raffle. A
basket ot imitation flowers, made of all
kinds of grain, the work of Miss June-
mann, was a thing of rare art; there
were also handsome articles made by
Mrs. Aschoff, Mrs. Dane and Mrs. Er-
ling. Mrs. Palkenthal commanded the
next stand of articles of needle-work.
Here were a fine saddle and doll, four
feet high, for raffle. Mrs. Hildebrand
and Miss Bergman were in charge of a
stand of needle-work next door, and
further on was an ice cream table,
at which Mrs. Stein, Miss Rosa Lott,
Miss Rosa Lavsry, Miss Yeager and
Miss Polborg presided. The museum
of ancient curiosities, next on the
floor, was conducted by Misses Sou and
Louisa Miller. Oa the opposite side of
the hall 9 stand of coffee and cakes
was under Mrs. Dane, Mrs. Oehnng,
Mrs. Beckhelft and Mrs. Pretzer. The
next sign indicated cigars, fruit and
candy, dispensed by Mrs. Hildebrand,
Miss Roem and Miss Meyer.
Beer came next—and all came
for beer — which was hand
ed out by Mrs. Huble and Mrs.
Brown. The last, not least, table was
the supper board where Mrs. Caretens,
Mrs. Lavery, Mrs. Lubben, Mrs. Wolfe,
Mrs. Ripke, Mrs. Debor and Mrs. Hun-
neberg gave their attention.
The fair was opened by a farce.
" The Unfortunate Shoemaker," in
which Mr. Nordholtz, Mr. Kuntz, Mr.
Seargent and Misses Lavery and
Qreundling took part. The audience
was highly pleased with the efforts of
these amateurs.
The fair continues to-night and Mon-
day night. The original programme
will be carried out as near as possible.
The entertainment to-night concludes
with a ball.
Tremont Opera House.
The fine reputation enjoyed by Kelly
& Leon's Minstrels suffered no dis-
paragement ,by their performances last
night. The programme was well ar-
ranged, and, while it drew largely upon
the talents of the company, every mem-
ber responded to his part and filled to
the highest satisfaction the expectations
of the audience. The fiist part gave
quite a scope to the musical gifts of
those who engaged in it, and almost
every piece was greeted with an encore.
The selections from the French opera,
Girofle Girofla, were admirably ren-
dered, and particularly so were the
"Drinking Song" and the "Pirates
Chorus." "Speak Only Speak" and
"Perished in the Snow," two beautiful
new ballad3, were exquisitely rendered
by Messrs. Surridge and Rushby re-
spectively. The cornet solo, by which
Mr. Surridge was accompanied, was
very fine, and entitles the performer-
Mr. Frank Bowles—to a high
rank among musicians. The con-
cluding piece, " Belles of the
Kitchen," brought Mr. Leon to
the front, to sustain a difficult and by
no means an unimportant character.
His costuming was faultless and bis
rendition of difficult operatic airs was
given in a style that might well be en-
vied by many persons who have assayed
the same role.
To-day at 12 o'clock m. they give their
matinee, and to-night will conclude
their engagement with the management
in this city. The troupe, owing to bad
weather, have sustained a serious draw-
back in the loss of two evenings, and as
it is a meritorious combination, all who
can enjoy a good laugh and appreciate
good acting should avail themselves of
these last opportunities to see them.
Is the Law Followed (
The following extracts from the sta-
tutes have been handed to the News,
with the request that they be published
and the question be asked—"Is the
law followed? "
Chapter 30 of the laws of 1870, July
31, section 4, reads: " The county trea-
surers of the several counties shall re
gister in a book, to be kept for that
purpose, all the claims of whatever na-
ture outstanding against their counties
respectively, with the date and amount
of each claim and the name of the payee
and holder of the same, and shall num-
ber them on the register, noting on the
back of each claim the date of presen-
tation and the number of the claim,
and said claims shall be paid according
to priority, as thus numbered and re-
gistered, provided that in the registra
tion and numbering of claims prefer-
ence shall be given to the oldest in
date, and provided, further, that in all
cases jury certificates shall be paid
first."
Chapter 62 of the laws of 1871, No-
vember 29, repeals all of the sections
of chapter 20 of the laws of July 21,
1870, except the above section, which is
still in force.
Nearly a Fire.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, Mr.
David Jordan, foreman of Fire Com-
pany No. 5, reports that he saw a dense
volume ®f black smoke issuing from
the windows and flue in the brick
building on Postoffice street, and used
by Grossman & Simpson as an under-
taker's establishment. The upper story
is used as a dwelling. Mr. Jordan ran
across tbe street and into the house,
and found Mr.-and Mrs. Simpson try-
ing to extinguish the fire, which £e
says was caused by the burning of oil.
■ The store was in a blaze, as was the
floor over which the oil had flowed.
The damages he sets down as inconsid-
erable.
Mrs. Simpson accidently overturned
' a can in which a brush had been put to
steep in turpentine, and which was set
near the fire to warm. When the can
was upset the fluid took fire, ran down
on the hearth, and in endeavoring to
extinguish it Mrs. Simpson's sleeve
took fire and her arm and face were
painfully scorched. One inhalation of
the flames would have caused a fearful
death.
Local Paragraphs.
Charming weather again.
Since the 13th of October upward
of fifteen inches of rain have fallen.
The residents at Avenue I and Eight-
eenth street are anxious to dispose of
their interest in the lake thereabout.
They hope for relief which can be given
only by filling to a higher grade.
A short blonde and a tall brunette,
both live men, looking out for the in-
terests of their firms in this quarter of
the country, met, saw and had a set-to
on Strand before an admiring audience.
No laceration of flesh or breaking of
bones followed, but each gently im-
pinged on the form of the other until
it was agreed that the question of honor
had been settled. No event of such
lively interest has occurred on the great
street of late, and the gentle pugilists
find themselves the unwilling heroes of
the hour.
Struck by Lightning.
During the storm of Thursday night
the gas-pipe in Mr. Henry GreenwaU's
store, corner of Church street and
Bath avenue, was struck by lightning.
The electric fluid followed the pipe
and, coming in contact with a shelf on
which vere eight dozen bottles of ale,
eight bottles of brandy, some cans of
condensed lye and a lot of lamp chim-
neys, it was thrown with its contents
to the floor. Everything was destroyed
except two bottles of brandy and two
dozen of ale, which were saved. Mr.
Greenwall, his wife and a young man
by the name of Hart were in the store
at the time, but experienced no per-
sonal inconvenience from the shock.
The tops to some of the tin cans were
melted off, and no trace of them could
be found in the wreck left by the light-
ning. |
The Way It Goes.
The Chicago papers tell us that when one
respectable Cbicagoan remarks, with a sigh,
to another respectable Chicagoan, "Another
old citizen gone!" the response is, " With how
much? What bank?"—-St Louis Republican.
But when a St. Louisian observes,
"Another old citizen gone!" the ques-
tion is, " How many counts in the in-
dictment? Which jail?"
Now, when a Cincinaatian mourn-
fully remarks, "Another old citizen
gone!" the question is, "How many
charitable bequests? And what the ob-
jects?"
When an old Galvestonian goes to
the " happy hunting grounds," if he
happens to be "well fixed," his friends
inquire if all his lacd certificates are
genuine.

Of Miss Louise Dillos, who is to

lanche says: "Conspicuous for her

artistic talent, was Miss Louise Dillon.
It would be difficult to make a more
pleasant impression in a single evening
than her Mary Melrose in ' Our Boys'
furnished last night. It established her
a favorite at once."

Parole is a brown horse, about fifteen
hands two inches high, and not very
attractive in appearance. He is one of
the Whalebone sort, of whom his sire
is the nearest living representative, and
is much better than he looks. He is
plain about the head and broken in the
coat, but he has a good back, wide
hips, good quarters and good legs. He
was a small, unpretending colt when
young, and a great contrast to the mag-
nificent height, length and general pro-
portions of his sire, Leamington. His
dam was Maiden, by Lexington, gran-
dam Kitty Clark, by Glencoe out of
Miss Obstinate, by Sumter, son of Sir
Archy and a mare by imp. Robin Red-
breast. The latter by Sir Peter Teazle
out of Wren, by Woodpecker, gran-
dam Sir Peter Teazle's own dam, Papil-
lon, by Snap. Parole was bred by Mr.
A. Welch, at Chestnut Hill, and sold
when a yearling for an insignificant
sum to Mr. Lorillard. He ran six times
at two years old, and won four of the
races. In the other two he was pulled,
and his stable companions won. He
was always a very rapid-going colt,
and in his two year-old races, the
strength of his pace commonly
settled his opponents before
they had gone half a mile.
At three years old Parole first appeared
in the Kentucky Derby. It is well
known that he was not in condition
when he was sent to the West, nor
when he started. Vagrant was first,
Creedmoor second, and Harry Hill
third. Eight others started. Parole
was brought back, and did not run
again until the Saratoga meeting, where
he encountered Tom Ochiltree and
Mattie A. in the sweepstakes for all
ages, a mile and a quarter. He carried
99 pounds, Tom Ochiltree 118 pounds,
and Mattie A. 116 pounds, receiving
five pounds allowance as a mare in the
summer season. Parole went off very
fast, outran them all the way, and beat
Tom twelve lengths in 3.13f. Mattie
A. was twelve more behind the big
horse. In the Saratoga Cup Tom
Ocniltree beat Parole a length; Tom
118, Parole 97 pounds. Big Sandy a
bad third, Madge behind him. In the
Sequel Stakes, a mile and three quar-
ters, with 115 pounds, Parole won
easily in 3 lOf, beating Freebooter,
Warlock and Odd Socks. At Jerome
Park, in the All-aged Stakes, a mile and
a half, he carried 92 pounds, and ran
clean away from St. Martin, Warlock,
Virginius and Rhadamanthus. He
won in a canter by four lengths in 2 38,
and St. Martin and Warlock made a
dead heat for second place. It was
noticed in this race that he out-paced
the fast horses Virginius and Rhada-
manthus from the first stride, and this
showed what a clipping race horse he
was at the old weights. At Baltimore
they still prevail. But going to that
place and taking up 107 lbs. they made
running with him for the Dixie stakes,
two miles, upon a very heavy track. He
had all his horses beat at a mile and
three-quarters, but he tired at last, and
Vigil, a horse about twice as powerful
as himself, beat him by five lengths.
Heretog was third, and then followed
Algerine, Sultana and Shirley. In the
Breckinridge stakes, two miles, Vigil
carried 115 lbs., including 5 lbs. penal-
ty, and beat Parole and Virginius in
3.37±. Parole began his four-year-old
career this season by being second in a
purse of three-quarters of a mile to
Janet Norton; four others ran. He
then won the Woodburn stakes, for
four-year-olds, two miles and a half,
beating Ambush, Fiddlestick, and Vir-
ginius in 4.37}. In the sweepstakes for
all ages, at Saratoga, a mile and a quar-
ter, he was third to Vera Cruz and Tom
Ochiltree, between whom there was
a head. It was after one of
Parole's delicate, lenten times, when it
is not difficult to beat him with a good
horse. But the race started the secre-
tions and sharpened his appetite so that
five days afterward he beat Tom in the
Cup, a mile farther, by two lengths,
and Vera Cruz was nowhere. In the
Summer Handicap, a mile and three-
quarters, Parole carried 116 pounds and
beat Vera Cruz, with 96 pounds, by two
lengths. George IV, Bushwhacker and
Athlene also ran. In this race Parole
gave VeraCruz 23 pounds for his year,
and won in 3 08. It was just 147 to
the mile, and Parole won easily with
116 pounds. At Baltimore next week
he will carry 11 pounds less weight.
He also won a purse, a mile and a half,
with 97 pounds, beating Virginius by
six lengths in 2 36f. Glasgow also
started. At the Jerome Park fall meet-
ing just concluded Parole beat Algerine
and "Ambush, three miles, for the Ma-
turity Stakes, for four-year-olds. He
won easily by two lengths in 5.39. The
track was deep and slow. In the Grand
National Handicap, two miles and a
quarter, he was second to Tom Ochil-
tree, and carried 115 pounds. In the
All-Aged Stakes, a mile and a half,
weight for age, he was second to Tom
again, and St. Martin, Virginius, Alge-
rine, Idalia, Madge, and Princeton fin-
ished behind him.
[From the Baltimore Garette ]
tom Ochiltree's biography.
Tom Ochiltree is well known to every
patron of Pimlico for the last four or
five meetings. He is a bay, five years
old, and sixteen hands high. His size,
compared with other horses that have
contended him, is so great that he has
been familiarly called the " big horse."
He was bred Jar. A. J. Alexander, of
Woodburn stud farm, Kentucky, and
sold at his sale of yearlings in 1873 for
$500. He is by Lexington, dam Kato-
na, by Voucher, the dam of Kadi. As
a 2-year old he was a big-framed,
overgrown colt, requiring time to ma-
ture, and was not trained. He came
into possession of Mr. John Chamber-
lin that season, and made his debut on
the turf at the spring meeting at Pim-
lico in 1875, in his 3 year old form, in a
three-quarter mile dash, against a field
composed of Audubon, Audacity,
Bowie's Ore Kuob, Austral, Storm,
Jest, Holbrook and Brunette. He then
stood sixteen hands in height, and cl-
though green and not fully prepared,
he ran clear away from the others and
won with the greatest ease. Two days
afterward he was brought on for the
Preakness stakes for 3-year olds, one
and one-half mile, and although op-
posed by Bay Final, who ran the sweep-
stakes for 3 year olds the day before,
Valor, Ri-k, Australind, and four
others, he tut down his com-
petitors and won the raco by two
lengths ahead of Viator and Bay Final,
who finished second and third. After
this triumphal debut at Pimlico, he
went amiss, probably owing to a change
in his training. To this fact is implied
defeats which he suffered in the Bel-
mont stakes, Jersey Derby, and Ocean
hotel stakes at Monmouth park the
same season. He was then thrown out
of training until the fall, when he was
placed in the hands of Anthony Taylor,
the well-known English trainer, to be
prepared for his fall engagements.
Taylor found the colt in a very low
condition, but in his skillful hands he
improved so rapidly that after running
unplaced to Calvin and Arislides in the
Jerome stakes, he came out a few days
afterward, and, with great ease, won
the annual stakes from Chesapeake and
Ascension. In the Dixie stakes at Pim-
lico the same fall he started with the
odds of twenty to one against him, and
won with comparative ease from a
field composed of Viator, Chesapeake,
Joe Cerns, Rhadananthus, d'Artagan,
Ozark, Bay Final and Gen. Harney.
Then it was that his great merits as a
racer were discovered, and when, three
days afterward, carrying five pounds
penalty for his Dixie victory, he started
against Viator, Aristides, Bay Final and
Joe Cerns for the Breckenridge stakes,
was the leading favorite. The weight
told against him in this race and he came
out third, to the winner Aristides, Via-
tor second.
Mr. Sanford was anxious to buy him
to take him over to England, along
with Breakness, Mute, Bay Final, and
other*, but the negotiations failed, and
during tbe ensuing winter, by the ad-
vice of Windham Waller, his able
trainer, Mr. George L. Lorillard pur-
chased him of Mr. Chamberlin for
$5000 cash, Mr. Chamberlin retaining
an interest in his spring engagements.
In the spring of 1876 Tom Ochiltree's
first public appearance was at Pimlico,
where he had won his first victory, and
where he has made his greatest fame.
He ran for the Baltimore cup against
Viator who was then his greatest rival,
and other fast horses, and won with
great ease. This wm but the beginning
of a series of victories. At Jerome
Park spring meeting, carrying the top
weight, in the Jockey Club handicap,
two miles, he won in a canter, beatiDg
Viator, Chesapeake, Kildare, Madge
and three others. One week afterward
he won the Centennial stakes, beating
the game and gallant Acrobat and Mr.
Belmont'9 fine filly Olitipa, at Mon-
mouth Park. He also beat Stampede,
his only opponent, for the Monmouth
cup, and in the Capitol stakes he beat
Chesapeake and Ascension. At Sara-
toga he continued his triumphs, and at
fall meetings ef that year at Pimlico,
and at all the races in the East, he was
the winner in nearly every race he en-
tered. At the Pimlico fall meeting of
1876 he was beaten by Mr. A. D.
Brown's Ada in a two mile heat race.
He was also beaten by Parole, one and
one-half mile, at Saratoga this sum-
mer, but he has won nearly all the
stakes he has contended for.
TEN BROECX'S CAREER.
TenBroeck was bred by the late Mr.
John Harper, Midway, Woodford coun-
ty, Ky. He is a bay horse, five years
old, and stands sixteen hands and one
inch high, with a little white on both
hind pasterns, fine shoulders, capital
middle piece, strong muscular back and
loins, and unusually powerful quarters,
which indicate immense propelling
powers. He is by imported Phteton,
dam Fanny Horton, by Lexington. He
strongly resembles his sire, Phaton, in
conformation and symmetry, but pos-
sesses far superior legs. Like Tom
Ochiltree, he did not run at two years
old, but made his racing debut for the
Phoenix Hotel staKes for 3 year olds,
one mile and an eighth, at Lexington,
Ky., May 10, 1876. Aristides was the
favorite in this race, but did not gain a
place. TenBroeck won easily in 2 1 If
In his 3 year-old form he made a mile
and a half at Lexington in 2 37}, and a
mile and five furlongs in 2.49± at the
same course. At Louisville he ran two
miles in 3 34}, and three miles in 5.31.
At Nashville, in two mile heats, his
time was 8.36} and 3.40}. As a 4 year-
old he ran at Lexiugton two miles and
an eighth in 3.45}. At Louisville, May
16, 1876, he ran two miles in 3.3SJ and
3.38. Sept. 22, at Louisville he won
the Post stakes, three miles, beating
Add, in 5.26}, the fastest time on le
cord. On Sept. 27, 1876, he started at
Louisville for a special purse of $1000,
to beat Fellowcraft's four-mile record
of 7.19}, and successfully accomplished
the task. He ran the first mile in 1.52f,
the second in 1.45}, the third in 1.46},
and the fourth in 1.50}, the total time
for the four miles being 7 15}, thus
eclipsing Fellowcraft's memorable re-
cord by 3} seconds.
A Shy Young Man.
A shy young man of Scotland for
fourteen years had wooed the lassie of
his heart. One night Jamie—for that
was the young man's name—called to
see Jennie, ana there was a terrible look
about his eyes—just as there is some-
times when they've made up their minds
to pop the question. And Jamie came
in and sat down by the fire as he had
done every Tuesday and Friday night
for fourteen years, and he talked of the
weather, and the cattle and the crops,
and the stock market I was going to
say—but no, they didn't talk about that.
And finally Jamie says;
"Jennie, I've known you a long
time."
"Yes, Jamie," said she.
" And—I've thought I'd always like
to know you, Jennie."
" Y-e-s, Jamie."
" And so I've bought—a lot—Jennie."
" Y-e-s, J-a-m-i-e."
"So—that—when—"
"Yes - Jamie—yes."
" When we're dead, we can lay our
bones together."
The fool had gone and bought a lot
in a graveyard, but Jennie was not dis-
couia^ed. She knew her man well—
after fourteen years she ought to—and
so she said gently:
"Jamie."
"Yes, Jennie."
"Don't you think'twould be better
to lay our bones together while we're
yet alive?"
It is rumored that Amadeo, ex-King
of Spain, feels so severely the loss of
his wife, a gentle and lovely lady, that
he has resolved to take holy orders and
enter a cloister. It is said, further, that
he has written to this effect to the
Pope.

' Nat," in Missouri Republican: No less than
thirty-two families havs arrived within the
last three weeks, from Michigan, in charge of
Rev. Mr. Ellis, and twenty more families are
on the road, and all of them are well pleased
with the country and will stick. Sugar plant-
ers are now preparing for the cane-boiling
season. Every day witnesses many wagons,
loaded with barrels, going out to the various
plantations ready to be filled with the sweet
of this sunny land. It is estimated that the
sugar crop iHll be about two-thirds of a crop
this year. To show yonr readers some idea of
the healthiness of this coonty, let facts be
stated to an astonished world. A chi'd was
born on the " Waldeck," (a large sugar planta-
tion) a few days since, of the sixth genera-
tion. All of these mothers and grandmothers
and Treat grandmothers Jand great, great
grandmothers to the sixth generation, were
all present upon this important occasion.
And these six mothers and grandmothers,
etc., had given birth to seventy eight children,
and it is now estimated that there is enough
of this family now living to elect a congress-
man, provided they could all vote. The old
grandmother of all is abont 120 years old. I

BROWN COUNTY.
Steve. October 19: Travelers are compelled
to slay here on account of the high water. It
has rained more in the last five days than it
has for as many months past Brownwood
is very dull for this season of the year, proba-
bly caused by the long drouth of last summer.
Farmers in this portion of the country
are putting in a great deal of wheat, and it
won't be their fault if no crops are raised
Brownwood will soon have one of the best ar-
ranged hotels west of Fort Worth.

San Antonio Herald: The fall clip of wool is
turning out much larger than was expected.
One firm alone has shipped 1000 bags of wool.-
averaging 300 pounds each. It is estimated
that already 700,000 pounds have been brought
to town, and the whole clip, exclusive of La-
redo wool, will not be fees than a million
pounds.
concho county.
Steve: San Angelo is situated on the north
side of the Concho river, and has a population
of S00 or 400. You can find every species of
Adam's race here. There are some as ener-
getic, social atid liberal merchants here as I
nave ever met anywhere. There are Wm. S.
Veck, Fraysey & Bro., F. M. Demoss, Messrs.
Philbrick & Wilson, and a number of others;
all are carrying very heavy stocks of general
merchandise. All that is necessary here for
a man to make money, is economy and strict
attention to business. For example, Mr. Veck
commenced business here seven years ago
with only $171, now the tax roll shows that he
pays taxes on.$37,0C0. Several other gentle-
men here have grown rich. Of course they
had to endure many hardships and frontier
exposures, but then they reap their reward.
San Angelo is a hard place, have to record a
man killed once or twice a month. It is ru
mored here that the Comanches killed a man
between this place and El Paso last week.

growing out of the late Baptist revival we
notice with pleasure the formation of a boys'
prayer meeting. They assemble every
Monday night with closed doora
to read, pray, sing, and converse upon religi-
ous topics An unfortunate difficulty occur-
red on the Holman place on last Saturday
night. It appears a freedwoman had engaged
a Mexican named Nicholas Perry to assist in
making a crop, but he left before the crop was
gathered. She then employed another Mexi-
can named Isaac Marctos. Afterwards the
former returned, and not liking the " situa-
tion" of affairs, provoked a quarrel with the
latter, who left the house. With shovel in
hand, he was followed and overtaken by
Perry and struck on the head several times.
A scuffle ensued, which resulted in Isaac seiz-
ing the shovel aod killing Perry whilst.he was
trying to escape. At a preliminary trial be-
fore Squire Smith, in default of bail, Isaac was
consigned to our county jail.

urday afternoon last a heavy rain visited this
county, and continued at short intervals until
Monday afternoon, when, with renewed vio-
lence, the rain fell for five hours, until every-
thing except the hills was submerged. All
the streams in the county were bankfull. and
many ot them overflowing. West Fork flood-
