LOCAL BREYITIES.

"A beautiful rainbow appeared in
the Eastern heavens yesterday after
noon.
We call attention to the notice of
Fred Manger, ticket agent, office in
the LeGrand hotel. He will buy, sell
or exchange railroads tickets to all
parts of the country. The travelling
public can save money by calling on
him.
Stomach pumps are coming to the
front. We have discovered one a day
since we published the information
that none could be procured to save the
life of Lolita Montford. We have been
informed that DR.. j. V. Childress has
one in perfect order and condition,
which is always at the service af any
citizen who needs pumping out.
About two o'clock yesterday after
noon dark clouds began to gather, and
the suffering and dusty citizen pro-
ceeded to congratulate himself on the
prospect of II much needed rain. His
hopes, however, proved fallacous for
towards evening the clouds were dis
slpated, and the sun shone forth, tint
ing the clouds with rare brilllancy.
Mr.. Mcintyre, the husband OF the
late Lolita Montford, received another
dispatch yesterday from New York
which stated that the mother of the
unfortunate girl had left the evening
before for Dallas. She will probably
arrive here next Monday, and will
take the remains of her daughter back
with her to New York for interment.
-One of the coolest littly cigar
stands in the city, is owned and presi-
ded over by Mr.. j.. Wallenstein, in the
Lamar Hotel. A iirst-class assortment
of fresh Havana and domestic cigars
are constantly kept on hand. The
latest periodicals from New York and
the daily papers of st. Louis, Cincin-
natl Chicago, and all Eastern cities,
are regularly received.
The police force were jubilant yes
terday Oh account of having received
their pay, for the month of September,
in cash. Some of the men have been
on the force nearly two years, and
they say this is the first time in their
experience that this has happened.
This is as it should be. Policemen nre
as u general rule hard worked and
badly paid, and their hard earnings
should always be paid to them prompt
~ and in money, for they cannot af-
ford to receive scrip deprecated below
its par value.
Several weeks ago, Mr.. Joe Elliott,
n well-known citizen Of Dallas, had u
carriage stolen from him, and so well
were the plans of the thief carried out,
that no trace was left for his discovery.
Yesterday, however, the stolen prop
erty was discovered by II mere acct
dent by gentleman who was riding
near Dooley's prairie, some three miles
from the city. While jogging leisure
ly along, his attention was attracted to
the disturbed condition of thick
clump of bushes; prompted by curios-
ity, he instituted search and discov-
cred the stolen carriage. A new set of
harness was found with ii, left by the
thief until he could find an opportuni-
ty for the safe removal of both. They
were brought to the city and the car
riage was restored to its rightful own
er. The harness will be sold by
Sheriff Barkley.
Charles Clark and l.. A. Hubbard,
composing the firm of Clark & Hub
bard, Emigration Agents, Coopersville,
Michigan, are in the city, guests of the
San Jacinto Hotel. These gentleman
are visiting Texas for the purpose of
securing suitable lands and locations
Whereby they can offer special induce
ments to all persons fcom their section
of the country who desire to emigrate

sTing to make Texas their future home
