HILL'S PRAIRIE.
Good Showing In the Way of Cotton Ro-
celpta—General Neighborhood News.
Hill's Puairie, Tex., Deo. 8.—To The
News: Mr. P. J. Gill, who owns the gin at
the station here, hns ginned over 500 bales
of cotton this season and will reach 600 be-
fore the season is orer. When it is remem-
bered that there are four other gins on this
side of the Colorado within a radius of
four miles, this is a good showing for Mr.
Gill and for the county surrounding. The
business will no doubt be materially in-
creased by another season as the platform
and seed house facilitate the handling of
the crop, and it will be to the interest of
both buyer and seller to ship the cotton and
seed direct from the gin.
Mr. R. O. Hubbard has a fine smith em-
ployed at his blacksmith shop here, which
will be of great benefit to the farmers dur-
ing the busy planting season. With that
perversity which is almost like human na-
ture, plows always get dull and wagons
break at espclally Inconvenient times,
und heretofore nothing could be done but
pay ferriage and go to Bastrop for repairs.
A store will soou be opetiod hero which
will bo a groatconvonience to the neighbor-
hood. If a tin dipper or a spool of thread is
needed now we must send to Bastrop, and
then these little necessities have a tantaliz-
ing way of being forgotton except when
they are needed.
Trains pass on the side track now and
several carloads of cotton seed have been
shipped* but it seems to be difficult to get
box cars to ship them as fast as desired oy
the oil company.
Hill's Prairionegros have had n great deal
of money this season, and they have patro-
nized the railroad liberally going in tsuch
numbers on Friday and Saturday that it was
necessary to put on an extra coach on those
days.

CUERO.
District Court Notes—Oil Mill Spoken of—
Other Local Item*.
Cuero, Tex., Dec. 8.—Dietrich court is In
regular session, Judge H. Clay Pleasant
presiding. From all accounts this term
will last throughout the month, the docket
both civil and criminal being very large.
Besides the local bar there are several
promiuent lawyers from Victoria, Karnes,
etc., present.
Cotton receipts are beginning to fall off
preceptibly, but notwithstanding all this,
the town is daily well filled with wagons
loaded with cotton and other produce,
wliicb, together with the busy crowds that
throng the sidewalks give the town a llvelv
appearance. The tact is Cuero is happily
located in Iho midst of a productive coun-
ty, and possessing capital and enterprise
naturally draws a large and rapidly In-
creasing business that, as the fertile lands
by which It is surrounded are tilled, will
placo it oa one of the principal commercial
depots iu southwestern Texas.
Our capitalists and business men have
lately held a meeting to take action relat-
ing to the establishing of an oil mill. The
Initial movements have been taken, commit-
tee appointed and ere another season passes
away the mill will be lullt and in full
operation. It Is reported that after a few
Langes have been made in the Excelsior
cotton mills it will be again operated under
new and experienced management.
Business ts very good. As the holidays
approach nearer Santa Claus will be about
shopping for the young ones, and old ones
too. Amusements In the way of theatrioals
are not lacking. The Huntly Harrison
company now hold the boards at the opera-
house and are drawing gojd house* Con- i
certs and social parties are of nightly occur- '
rence and the yontig folks are enjoying life
while yet young and happy. Weddings also
are frequent, several marriages having
taken place within the past week.

TION CONCERNING THE FUNERAL.
Movement Started by the Southern Press

—Kentucky's Pledge—
Olhor Matters.
New Orleans, La., Dec. 8. — Mayor
Shakespeare has issued the following proc-
lamation:
As an outward sign of the love and ad-
miration our people feel for the Illustrious
man and stainless gentleman uow lying
dead In the city ball, 1 recommend that
the commercial bodies and citizens gener-
ally drape in appropriate mourning, and
that on Wednesday, December 11, business
be suspended, and the various civic and mil-
itary organizations, as well as individual
citizens, attend the funeral of Jefferson
Davis. A life so pure, so illustrious, may
well serve as an example to rising genera-
tions, and I recommend that the schools
be closed and the children attend the
funeral.
It has been announced that MIsb Winnie
Davis would stop on her European trip and
leave for home next week. Mr. Joseph
Pulitzer, whose guest Miss Davis is, tele-
graphed to her relatives that her physician
advised against the trip at this time and
begged them to use their influence to pre-
vail upon Miss Davis to remain in Europe
awhile longer. Her relatives telegraphed
as suggested, and It Is probable Miss Dayls
will defer her return. The final resting
Blace will not be determined until Miss
'avis Is here and a family meeting is held.
Now Orleans and every other city of prom-
inence in the south is petitioning for the
honor, but many are Inclined to think that
Brierfield, Mr. Davis' plantation, on the
Mississippi river near Vlcksburg, will be
the place chosen us Joseph Emery Davis,
the brother of the ex-president of the con-
federacy, Is buried there, and Mr. Davis'
often expressed wishes are supposed to have
been to that effect. Governor Lowrv of
Mississippi and the state officers have signi-
fied their Intention of being present at the
funeral.
KENTUCKY'S PLEDQE.
and for the family".
Louisville, Ky., Dec. 8.—The following
telegram has been sent to Mrs. Jefferson
Davis:
Louisville, Ky., Dec. 7.—To Mrs. Jeffer-
son Davis, New Orleans: The people of
Kentucky reverance the name of your late
lamented husband, and feel pride In the
fact of his having been a resident of this
state. I am directed by the Confederate
association of Kentucky and the people of
Louisville to respectfully advise you that
they have secured for you In Cave Hill,
cemetery the beautiful lot formerly set
aside for President Zachary Taylor, but
never used, aud beg of you that they may
bo honored by having you bury here the re-
nJhius of Mr. Jefferson Davis.
Geo. B. EasToN, President.
The Confederate association of Kentucky,
at its meeting last night, adopted appro-
priate resolutions and appointed a com-
mittee. It was resolved that a fund of
$100,000 should be raised at once for the
family, and Kentucky was pledged to send
*10,000.
VIRGINIA'S DESIRE,
Lisbon,Dcc. 8.—[Special]—The Atrato has
arrived with advices from Iilo de Janeiro to
November 23. The dispatches she brings
confirm the statement that the revolution
in Brazil was precipitated by an attempt of
the government to remove the disalleoted
troops stationed at Rio Janeiro to the
provinces. The revolt was confined to the
military and students. The populace were
passive. The only act of bloodshed was the
attack upon Minister of Marine Ladario,
who was shot in three places. He is recov-
ering from the effects of bis wounds. In
Bahia and Peraambuco business proceeds
as if nothing had happened.
The Bauk of Brazil addressed a letter to
the chief of police, advising him that a
guard for the bank vras no longer requisite.
General De Fonseca, the head of the pro-
visional government,in the message sent by
him to Dom Pedro on November 18, said:
The democratic sentiments of the nation,
oombined with resentment at the syste-
matic repressive measures of the govern-
ment against the army and the navy and
the spoliation of their rights have brought
about the revolution. Iu the face of this
solution the presence of the Imperial family
in the country is impossible. Yielding
therefore to the exigencies of the national
' voice, the provisional government, is com-
pelled to request you to leave Brazilian
territory with your family within twenty-
four hours. The government will provide
at its own expedience proper means for
transportation, and will afford protection
for the imporlal family during their em-
barkation. The government will also con-
tinue the Imperial dowery fixed by law
until the constituted assembly decides
thereon. The country expects that you will
know how to imitate the example set by
the first emperor of Brazil on April 7, 1831.
Dom Pedro's answor, whloh was sent on
Hbssame day, was as follows: "Yielding to
the necessity of ciroumstances I have re-
vived to start with my family to-morrow
for Europe, leaving this country so dear to
as all, aud which Ihavo endeavorod to give
constant proofs of deep lovs during the
nearly half a century In which I have dis-
charged the office of chief of the state. While
thus leaving with my whole family I shall
ever retain for Brazil the most heartfelt af-
fection and ardent good wishes for her
prosperity."
The C'omptesse d'Eu Issued the following
declaration: "With a broken heart I part
from friends, from the wholo people of Bra-
zil, and from my country which I have so
loved, and still do love, to ward whose hap-
piness I have done ray best to contribute,
And for which I shall ever entertain the
jnost ardent good will."

Lisbon, Dec. 8.—On Monday, December
2, the ex-emperor's birthday, a dinner
was givon on board the steamer in honor of
the occasion. The Countess d'Eu, Dom Pe
dro's daughter, gave a toast, to her
father. In reply Dom Pedro toasted Brazil,
'."he Alagoas is in charge of a captain in tho
employ of her owners, not of a Brazilian
naval officer. It is reported that her owners
will receive £18,000 for conveying Dom Pe-
dro to Lisbon. King Carlos was accompan-
ied by the Infanta Alphonse and the Por-
tuguese minister of foreign affairs when
he went on board the Alagoas to welcome
Dom Pedro. As the imperial party landed
an artillery salute was fired, a guard of
honor was drawn up at the landing place
and the troops were massed around the ar-
senal. The party took carriages and were
driven to the palace, escorted by a squadron
of cavalry. No unpleasant incident oc-
curred during the drive. Some incidents
havo been made known of the voyage of the
Alagoas bearing the Brizilian royal family
which show the good feeling and correct
Impulses of the old sovereign and those
near to him.
a touching incident.
Perhaps the most touching of these was
an incident of tho white carrier pigeon
set free by the hand of the aged emperor off
the ooast of the country he had ruled for
fifty years to bear his last souvenirs to the
nation that bad driven him out. This hap-
pened when the ship was near Fernando de
Noronha, the Brazilian Botany bay. There
is a poetical quality In this scrap of history
that will commend it to a painter. Mon-
day, December 2, which whs the birthday
of the emperor, was colefcrated with such
limitations upon festivity as their presence
on a ship forced upon them, but was closed
with a banquet In the cabin. At this ban-
quet the countess proposed her father's
health. Dom Pedro responded, and then
said: "Now 11 Is my turn to propose a
toast," and li.'ting his glass he said: "Let us
drink to the lasting prosperity of Brazil."
Every one duly honored the toast, and then
all sat at the table in silence for many min-
utes as if with a general feeling that the
emotions of the occasiou needed uo words.
Tho captain of the Alagoas had received in-
structions to do everything lu his power to
meet the wishes of Dom Pedro aud make
him and his family comfortable.
touching the future.
Many Inquiries have been mude of Dom
Pedro touching his future and his attitude
toward the government of Brazil. In an-
swer to all these he confines himself to the
declaration that if summoned to return to
-Jbira^ilJkwJN I go. hi alludes to some of
the prime movers in the revolution with re-
spect, to others with disdain. None of
these men wero In direct communication
with hira, but all that passed between them
was through intermediaries. It Is known
that these all are unimportant, and that
they organized a military conspiracy, which
was carried to its conclusion with ths most
perfect security.
A PERFECT SURPRISE.
All Spanish and Portuguese revolutions
are worked by letter conspiracies. This
conspiracy was a surpriso to every oue.
There had been on the part of the govern-
ment some suspicion of the fidelity to the
Twenty-second lufantry regiment, which
had therefore been ordered to Pora, and
which did not take part iu the pronuncia-
mento. It was only on board the Alagoas
that the emperor heard of tho decres con-
tinuing his civil list. He declares that he
will not accept eithor the list or the dona
tion of money offered by the provisional
government. The Journal of the Brazilian
republic on November 19 publishes a letter
from tho Count d'Eu to the minister of war
resigning command of the artillery and
asking leave to go abroad. The count
writes that ho had loyally served Brazil,
and that but for circumstances which
obliged him to quit the country he would
be ready to serve under any form of govern-
ment.
OTHF.lt MATTERS.
On the eve of going to the Hotel Baganza,
where the Imperial family are quartered,
Dom Pedro drove to the burial place of the
house of Baganza aud kneeling on the
tomb of his father remained for some time
in prayer. The embarkation of (he imper-
ial family on the Alagoas was so much
hurried that in the confusion r>art of the
baggage was left behind. Priuce Pedro
Augusto, the son of Augustof Saxe-Coburg,
the grand son of Dom Pedro, had ou the
voyage a severe attack of fever, caused, It is
supposed by tlie excitomeut of the depar-
ture. lu his delerium he constantly criod
out that tho pooplo were going to kill him.
He is uow fully restored to health. The
empress complains that the revolutionary
leaders prevented her from seeing a person
before her departure except the immediate
attendance of the court. The Alagoas
touched at Terrific upon her voyage because
the emperor desired to see tho sccnery of
that island. Dom Pedro has already re
ceived numerous telegrams from European
sovereigns and notables. He will remain
here for some days and go henco to Madrid.

London, Dec. 8. — [Special] — Cardinal
Lavimerte. in speaking of tlie return of
Emin Paslia aud Henry M. Stanley to civil
ization, said: "Tho darkest paxe iu ti.e
story of slavery is that which tells of tlm
present revival in the interior of Africa.
With tho horrors of this scourge the recent
conference of representatives of the powers
had at Brussels was powerless to deal, for
the conference could only define the obliga-
tions of civilized powers, an-1 those extend
edonly so far as the authority and con-
trol of such powers prevailed. Civilization
controls the coastof Africa. It has plan;ed
Its feet ou the southern and northern re-
gions of the continent and on the mouth of
the Niger. It has a possible chanuel into the
Interior along tho waterway of the Congo.
But the interior of Africa, from tbe Sahara
and the desert of Korosko to the Zambesi,
is outside the pale of civilization and is
given up to plagues such as have no paral-
lel in recorded history. A dark, brutal fan-
aticism taking upon itself the once proud
title of Islam lias spread over this vast re-
gion, destroying with unspeakable horror
millions of human beings in order to make
captives of the thousands of wretched survi-
vors. This strange revival seems to have
originated In the populous regions between
tbe middle Niger aud I.aks Chad Perhaps
It began in the peculiar sect first madi
known to Europe through tho move-
ment of the Teuoussi in tlio hack lands
of Algeria. In the district* of Barnu
and Tokoto It is associated with a low but
energetic type of civilization, aud produc-
ing populous town«i and organizing a con-
idei
llgior
once produced the humanity of Saladin
slderable inland trade. Even here it 1. un-
worthy of the traditions of a religion that
and tho leuruing and philosophy that cen-
tered in Cordova. But from these little
known regions tho movement has
spread eastward to the Nile. Where its rep-
resentatives have spread devastation from
the Cataracts and the Red soa to Albert anil
Victoria Nyanza and southward across tho
Congo to Lake Nyassa and the Zambesi
through tbe Soudan and the equatorial
provinces all vestiges of Kuropesn Intiu-
ences have disappeared. The story of Major
Barrletot's struggles with Tippoo Tib aud
his murder, tbe levolt against Eiriin Pasha,
and the murder of Dr. Peters arid compan-
ions show how Impotent are the slender
forces of Europe on the upper Congo
against this wave of man destroying fanat-
icism. It Is Mahomedan propaganda that
has revived the slave trade and that finds it
a market, for the gigantic slave raids of
which so much has been heard of lute are
not organized to satisfy a demand from
across the sea. The slaves are taken to
the Mahomedan towns iu the interior
of Africa. This is a market that
nothing short of tho conquest of Africa by
Europe can close. The slave raid, rs can
be stopped, but only by an armed force
able te fight and defeat them. Such an un-
dertaking no," government is likely to ini-
tiate. It would havo to be the work of some
new order reviving in the shape of a life of
self-sacriflce the uoulor traditions oi mo-
diaval chivalay.''
THE DEATH CHAMBER.

Murderer MeKlvalne Will Be Kill
I)i«ii><il Hottu
New York, Dec. 8.—The execution by
electricity of Charles Mcllvaine, the mur-
derer of I.uca, the Brooklyn grocar, is set
down to take place next week, between sun-
rise Monday and sunset Saturday. War,,'en
Brush at Sing Sing has been quietly mak-
ing preparations for tho unpleasant event.
The one-story brick building, thirty feet
square, in which the elsctric chair is to be
placed, has been completed. It stands at
the rear of the prison against the walls of
the dark cells. A gang of convict stone
workers were laying a heavy stone floor in
the building when the reporter entered
Saturday, it is a dark, dismal place, and
the back walls can not be seen from the lit-
tle narrow entrance. Thoro are a few very
small openings around the top of the walls,
which aretos.'.rve is windows, but little or
no light is thrown into tlie building from
these openings. The bal-e brick wails will
remain as they are, and the only furnish-
ings of the dismal chamber will bo the fatal
electric chair and the connections lendiug
to the dynamo. State Electrician Brown
will have his instrunieut of death in
thorough working order by Saturday next.
Warden Brush was not at tho prison yester-
day, being away iu Albany. Principal Keep-
er Connaugliton said that not more than
thirty persons jvould be prosent at the exe-
cution. Although it was known that the
condemned man's counsel had tiled a notice
of appeal, no official notification was re-
ceived at tho prison up to a late hour last
night. It was stated by some of the pris-
on officials that Warden Brush was much
agitated and very nervous over Mc'Ilvnine's
case.
