THE year, like n timc-serving poll
tician, isabout to turn Hs coat.
TIE Yellow Jack buggaboo has dis
appeared and the city Is crowded will
trading wagons from all points.
A GENUINE twenty dollar gold piece
is not very great deal of money, anc
yet it is undoubtedly good roH'o
sum.
FREIGHT for this city Is increasing
so, on all the railroad lines, that rolling
stock can hardly bc found to supply
the demand.
FULLY thirty thousand dollars Is
paid out in this city monthly, for rents
THE Galveston papers of Wcdnes,
day deny the existence Of yellow fevei
ut that place.
THE new fifty cent notes are in plcn.
tiful circulation in our city. A Dallas
young lady saw one laying in II show
case and wanted to know if it was M
illustrated piece of court plaster.
TIE tongue of wagon snapped in
two in crossing the railroad, opposite
the Scott House, yesterday, and II piece
striking one of the horses in the side,
penetrated to the depth of several
inches. This was "side issue" of the
most troublesome kind.
Mr.. w. NJ. PENN announces that the
new and magnificent stock of station
airy, standard works, schoolbooks and
whole new book store, next to Con-
nor Il Walkers, will be opened in a
few days, when the Herald man in
tends to call and show these glories up.
THE following spectacle entertained
us up town yesterday: On one side of
the street was an old gentleman cutting
wood, while his son was up stairs by
the window coloring his mustache; on
the other side was an old lady sweep
ing the sidewalk, while her daughter
was up stairs by the window painting
her cheeks.
OVER three hundred dollars was col
lected in about fifteen minutes, in this
city yesterday, for our suffering neigh
bors at Shreveport. Sells, of the Cos
mopolitan, did it, and forwarded the
money yesterday. More will be raised
at once, and our afflicted friends at
Shreveport can count upon Dallas do
ing everything in her power.
A DALLAS school boy drew not
very prepossessing outline of his teach
ers face in the palm of his hand, for the
dplectation of "neXt door" school
mate, and in few moments after,
wanting to go out, held up that same
hand, in obedience to the rules of the
sehec' TING TEACHER told him he could
after school, and he would show the
boy how he could draw.
A YOUNG lady by the name of Thorn
,., ,,n,;J;,,rr ,aop fbic aitu want IN Inr
bureau the other night for something,
and running her hand in n drawer, put
it on snake, which lay coiled up
among the contents of the drawer.
From the coiling serpent Mrs. Thomas
very naturally aud quickly recoiled,
and so suffered no physical inconve-
nience from the repulsive occupant. Ia
A DALLAS man, describing his wife
to an old friend whom he accidentally
met with on the street after may years,
and wanting to be complimentary, said
among other things, that she was
Striking looking" AS this meeting
and conversation happened very near
the latter gentleman's residence, and
his wife by chance having heard this
part of it, she informed him, on his
return home, what she had heard, and
in caressing manner, proceeded to
show him that She was not only ''strik-
mig looking" but that she could do
'fsSme Striking" The next time the
husband met his old friend, he told
,him that he was only half right, that
his wife was not only striking look
ing" but decidedly striking" other
wise.
WE are informed that it is getting
to be very common occurrence for
invalid paupers to come to Dallas from
the surrounding counties, and call on
the city authorities to take care of
them, and what is more it is said that
= they are sent here from other counties.
I AS an instance an invalid suffering
from consumption was sent here few
days ago from Johnson's Station, Tar
rant county, with directions to call on
/. the city authorities who would take care
~ him? He is really an object of sym
*pathy and should be cared for but why
rtis II that he was not sent to his own
countyseat. The people of Dallas will
do all they can for sick and unfortu-
nate people who come within her
borders, but she cannot undertake to
take care of and support those from
other counties. 1t is said that paupers
have been sent here from all along the
Texas AMI Pacific Railway, from Sher-
man, etc. Ifthis is so, the evil shonld
he abatcd. We are willing to take
care of our own paupers, but don't pro-
pose to be the asylum for the lame, the
halt and the blind from all Texas.
