Tho Fourth
We arc assured by the managers that
the celebration to conc off here next
Tuesday, will be all that has been rep
resented It is tho design to make
it in every way interesting and attrac-
tive. The rumor started by malicious
persons who were not consulted as to the
propricty of a celebration, that Mr.
DUxHELL will not be here, is wholly
without foundation. lie has informed
tho Committee that ho will be here.
The music will b. of the highest order,
and the grand burlesque performance
by the Ku-Klux, will be something
original, exciting, and the most amusing
of anything ever presented in Austin.
Those who enjoy horsc-racing, will
find entertainment Of this kind, while
the lovers of base ball will have the
pleasure Of witnessing an exciting game.

the AUDITOR 8 Office under the admins
tration Of the forty thieves has, since
tho demise Of his boon companion,
Harvey turned to playing the part Of a
gay Lothario. Inspired with an ardent
zeal to distinguish himsclfin his chosen
pursuit and to allow no slips "betwixt
the cup and the lip" he makes his first
advances towards an unsophisticated
youth-a not uncouely maiden Of
sweet sixteen: whose understanding Of
the English tongue was not complete,
but whose appreciation Of the dcvotions
Of one young Lothario were such as to
inspire the lover with great hopes Of
success. Love tokens and moonliy yht
ranbles gradually merged into more
tender relationship until Lothario
finally concluded to make propositions
to lead his sweet Dulcinca to the
Hymcnial Altar Little logic and
many conjurations persuaded +he
unsuspccting maid that forms and
ceremonies constitute no essential part
Of that holy relationship usually called
marriage, and that real union oe hearts
can rs we'll be made without the aid Of
priests and squires. Accordingly they
we're married (?) but for wise reasons
thought it best to keep the matter
secret for time. Board was engaged
in a private family for "sweet sixteen" "
where Loth@rio might h;s at dewy
eve and pass the happy hours as twilight
deepened unto night, and night ap
preached tho morn Thus sped many
Of those happy hours until the land1ady
whose views Of spiritual ties evidently
did not accord entirely with those Of
our hero, made some investigat
which for time threatened to blast
the hopes Of these ethereal lovers
"Tell it not in Cath nor publish it in
the streets Of Askelon," that the last
heard of Lothario he was making double
quick time through an open window
sparsely clad, with an enragcd broom
stick following near, propelled by al
the vital forces of IN excited female.

them, but it must be rc-applied after evcry

inventor has saved his crops with only one ap-

only rarely will more than two applications

Tho cxtcrninator has only just been intro

report. That is just like the following:
The experiment which has been made during
the past week with Pasin's patent potato bug
exterminator, has proved successful to degree
quite surprising. In all things there are some
failures. and some difference Of opinion as to
| tho worth oi the article tested. In this it has
not been SO. No instance has yet come to our
knowledge in which it has not done Just what
the inventor claims.

experience is all alike, and cxplicit-it does
the business.-[From Decorah Republican,
