The Fair,


There will be n meeting of the Stock-hoi-
ders Of the Dallas Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association as notified by the
President, on the 14th inst, for the pur-
pose of taking such steps ms may be neces-
sary to re establish this enterprise. From
the known Intelligence and generous dis
position of those gentlemen, it is not only
hoped, but expected, that such provisions
will be made as will insure the Dallas FAIR
will be no longer "local name without a
babitation." Accommodations greater and
more ample than is simply necessary for
the county should be prepared. As TINS
is 4 central point AMI one Of the largest
nlaces in Ncrthern Texas, we should strive
to make its attractions such that persons
from tho different portions of ia stare
could visit it not only with pleasure, but
interest and profit.
Base your actions upon the true econo-
my of liberalty, not "the pound foolish and
penny wise" system; to make money you
must spend, and experience justiies the
remark, the more liberal the outlay the
more magnificent the return. If use is
made of tho means in our power, and the
Fair is conducted as it should be, it will
prove a great commercial benefit and as,
sistance; if not, then it will be tho subject
of ridicule.
We have many enterprising mechanics,
artizans and farmers who are anxious to
place their works, devices and productions
within the ring of competition with North
ern ard foreign manufacture and produc-
ton, by showing that at home can DO pro-
duced many Of the articles which at present
are purchased at distance, thereby secur-
ing home market, and developing the ma
teral prosperity of the country.
The fair would give an impetus to, and
competition in, business of every descrip
ton; the raw produce Of the country would
in few years greatly improve, both In
quantity and quality; more attention would
be given TO the raising of fine stock and
cattle it would extend the trade of our
merchants, and at the same time reduce the
prices of their goods; new buildings, sub
stantial and commodious, would be erected
to supply increased demand for accommo-
dations; induce emigration, by bringing
among us every class of men, thriftines',
energy and enterprise, SO much needed,
would be impaired.
With anxiety and interest the meeting
of the Stockholders must be regarded by
| the country at large.

Does He Get Drunk?

The Manchester New Hamp-
shire) Union, a Republican paper,
publishes the following letter from
a correspondent in Washington,
of whose integrity and reliability
itspeaks in the most positive terms:
"The fortunes of General Grant
have lately received a sudden Sc
we're check in the estimation of
large numbers who were inclined
to sustain him for the Presidency.
The feeling is not altogether con-
fined to the temperance organiza-
ton here (which is very large and
influential among citizens, not poll
ticisns,) but extends to others,
both drinkers and abstinent per-
sons.
"Rumors have been floating a.
bout for a considerable time past,
much to the regret of most men,
that General Grant has resumed
the habits which, when INDUCED
in, have told against him, and Sc
verely, all his life, and finally re-
suited in bis disconnection with
the military service. Subsequent
ly in the walks of business he was
far from successful. Undoubtedly
he has sought to control his pas
sion for strong drink by habitual
smoking, which is a stimulant, and
also by driving fast horses at two
race-courses near here, and unfor-
tunately, at times on the highways.
On one OF these occasions he drove
over a little boy who, however,
was not injured so much but that
he recovered. To this end General
Grant contributed by donating
"The rumors that have prevail
ed.for some time past, concerning
General Grants hurtful indulgence
in liquors and wines, have been
literally sustained by fixed facts.
He has been repeatedly seen and
noticed in half intoxicated con-
dition in the street-cars and On
the avenue. But on Sunday last
the thing reached its elimination.
At about ten o'clock in the morn
ing he xas staggering along in the
lower part of the city, and at a
bout five in the evening was seen
by hundreds as they were coming
out of st. Matthews Church, at
the West End. He was accompa-
MED, as is supposed by the lockers
on, by General Dent, his father in
law, and the General was in SO
bad a way that he could hardly
keep his legs in trying to make
Roadway.
"What have stated about Gen.
eral Grant is literally true"

The Episcopal Methodist of Bal
timore advises the New York OBJ
server to continue its exhortations
to certain clergymen of the North
to restore to clergymen Of the
South the books of which the
former had deprived the latter
during the late war; and assures
the Observer that there can be
very little approach to Christ or
unity, whilst, in the North stolen
silver glitters on the sideboards of
church members, and stolen books
proclaim the curses of God and
man, from the shelves of minis
tiers. This is rather pungent.
