The Entertainment Last Night.

The complimentary soirce rendered
to Miss Domingo Olivas at Turn
Vercin Hall last night, drew IA hatter-
ing mark of esteem from our citizens
and the hall was well filled. The pro-
gramme was admirably arranged and
carried out with full satisfaction to all
present, although it was found neces-
sary to change the arrangement of
the parts considerably. We cannot
specify all of the features of the enter
tainment, as it was quite lengthy, but
will content ourselves simply with u
brief mention of the participants. Miss
Olivas, decidedly the favorite of the
evening, was in her best voice and
carried the audience with her in every
effort. Her voice is remarkably sweet
and well trained. The lady was the
recipient of frequent and loud encores.
Miss Rose Kelley performed upon the
piano in n most acceptable manner iii
solos and overtures, and Miss Rachael
Edelman in her delightful songs was
received with hearty plaudits. Some
duets sung by Maj. Sacriste and
sister took the house by storm; they
were not only sung we'll but also
we'll acted in accordance with the
spirit of the pieces. Prof. Arevalo,
Mr. Giunette, Prof Havell and Mr.. A.
Redwell added greatly to the enjoy
ment of the occasion by the various
parts which they assumed in the role
musicale. "i isa
The poem-''A legend of the San
Gabriel Mission Bells''--by Mr.. A. II.
Hawley was finely composed and
commemorated beautiful legend.
AS conclusion of the entertainment
a series of tableaux were presented, il
Illustrative Of the poem. The four
scenes were as follows: laI
l. ANGUISH All AND Don RAFAEL THE
.g14trM PARTING.
az see YOU smile. No doubt You think p %
Some Spanish maiden waited his return. '.
Well, you are right"
2. THE TREACHERoUs ARROW. Sd
.., asa GAS the story goes, saE
Augustias and Don Rafael kept true faith
Through all the changing seasons But one
a treacherous arrow struck the soldier low"
te 3. THE FATAL LETTER.
"Ah!. little thought she, when with eager
She caught the letter from the bearers hands
And tore it open, that within its folds
Was hidden an arrow which should pierce
her heart"
n i 4. TIE SPIRITS FLIGHT.
"At last one evening as she sat and gazcd
Upon the slant beams of the westering sun,
Thinking that they too shone above his tomb
She started up, her wan fuco wreathetl With
iH smiles
Celestial in their sweetness, and her lips
Murmured, as If in ecstacy, The Bells
II is the Angelus, ami Rafael hearst
And then her stainless spirit took its flighi,
And those who watched her caught II dying
.t strain
or ravishing melody from golden harps
And songs 81 r.tphlc and dvincly sweet"
Altogether, the affair was a COM
plete success, and we congratulate
Miss Olivas as well as the amateurs
who oparticipatedin in itupon the pleasant
racult .t.t

CITY HEGrSTRA,rION.

Our views on this subject We're given
fully, some days since, and, in legal
point of view, have undergone no
change. We maintain that every citi-
zen Of the United states, who has lived
twelve months in Texas and sixty days
in either ward of Dallas, being Il regis.
tered voter on the registration books of
Dallas county, is u legal voter, in the
ward of his residence in the city of
Dallas. 1t is true, that some degree of
legal knowledge is necessary to form
o correct opinion on this confused and
complicated subject. But, while, in the
language of glorious old Smokey Hen
derson, we are "not lawyer enough to
hurt" our readers will remember that
the HERALD was the first paper In
Texas, to take the ground which has
been fully vindicated on the following
points, while many democrats ex-
pressed doubt, to-wit:
First, We assumed that Governor
Davis time expired whenever. his sue
cessor was qualified, after the 2nd day
of December, 1878. This position,
though assaile by rad icals and doubted
by many democrats, has been fully
sustained by Texas, President Grant,
Attorney General Williams and Gene
raj Sherman. =
Second-We maintained that all
county officers elected December 9,
1873, were entitled to qualify and enter
upon their duties as soon as notified of
their election. We took both positions
fully and unequivocally in The HER
AID on the 9TH Of December, only two
days after the election. 1t was dis.
puted by nearly all radicals and doubt
ed by many democrats. Our position
has been vindicated, in every solitary
instance. In every county in this state.
AS member of the thirteenth legis-
lature, we took the advanced position,
that, although elected in November,
1872, the true constitutional term of
that legislature began December 2,
1871, and ended December 9, 1873. The
letter of John Henry Brown, at the
time, to Colonel Ashbel Smith, en-
dorsed by sixty-one members of the |
legislature, fully explains the ground
of that opinien.l It was denied and as
sailed by the ablest radicals IN the
state, and, for time, some democrats
thought 1t wrong. But investigation

HEALTH OF SHREVEPORT.

Rumors have prevailed here for sew
cral days past, that yellow fever had
again broken out in Shreveport. We
heard the report nearly II week ago,
but learning from other sources that
such was not the fact, we did not men,
ton it. We now find the following
emphatic denial In the Times, OF
Thursday:
We have before noticed, to contra
dict, the rumor in Texas that cases of
yellow fever had recently occurred in
this city. We thought little of the mat
ter, however, scarcely realizing that
sensible people would give credit to
such an absurdity, and we would not
have required to it again had we not
yesterday noticed the riimor published
in the Dallas Commercial, Texas Mail,
and some other papers. Ne also
learned last night that people in Dallas,
Marshall, Jefferson, Terrell and other
poi are afraid to visitthiscity. We
now most emphatically declare TO the
public, and stake our yeracity on it,
that no eases of yellow fever have oc-
CURED here since last fall that the
health OF the city is unusually good ;
that physicians complain that it is dis
.tressingly healthy. Those who circu-
late this report circulate, innocently
we presume, falsehood calculated to
do our people great deal of harm, and
we sincerely hope our contemporaries
will contradict the,rumor. sssHT

secretary of the senate, for n pamphlet
entitled, "Mensaje del Senior Goherna-
dor de Texas n Ia legislature dccima-

read, message of the honorable gov
ernor of Texas to the fourteenth lcgis-

In other words, it is the message of
Governor Coke and the reports of the
departments, published in the Castilian

custom In Texas to publish the most
important laws, etc., in German and
