Guards and the Travis Rifles, from
Austin, then proceeded to drill for the
prize. The committee of award were
Generals Bragg. CabeIl and Maxey.
The two companies were put through
the manual and different evolutions by
their respective captains. The Skin
mish drill of the Light Guards was SUI
perb. The Travis Rifles rather eXcell-
ed them in the manual. In marching,
the two companies were matched. The
ond Mr.. Davis, Governor Coke, w. j.
Hutchins, president of the State Fair
association, also had seats there. Cen
eral Bragg was spokesman for the COM
mite, and said, while
He Loved the Grey,

Guards, that he was compelled to give
the prize to the blue, the uniform of
the Travis Rifles. The award was re-
ceived with cheers by all the compa-
MES. Cheers were then given for Mr..
Davis, General Bragg, General Cabell,
General MaXey, Governor Coke and
The Ladies' ofIEousion.
The Lone Star Rifles, made up of the
cream of the young men of Galveston,
did not enter for the prize for best drill
ed company. They have n very hand
some uniform, like the Lamar Rifles,
with white waist and cross-belts.
The writer desires to express his ac-
and generous hopitality from Captain
~ I ~ II ;,Iy ri of
the Light Cards, Captain Huxthall and
private Frank Burke, of the Lone Star
Rifles, and Captain Mott, of the Gal
weston artillery. After the award of
the prize-a handsome silver service
to the Travis Rifles, the entire body of
troops, under command of Colonel
James, of the Texas Military institute,
and headed by the band of the tenth
infantry, United States army, and the
Galveston artillery, passed

who stood bareheaded in the grand
stand. The officers presented swords
and the troops carried arms and dipped
the colors as they passed. The drum
major of the band of the tenth in
fantry, United States army, also sa-
luted as they passed. Mr.. Davis re-
turned the salute by bowling and rails
ing his hand. He then addressed the
troops, and was loudly cheered. He
said he trusted they might never be
called on to play the soldier in any
thing but mimic war or holiday pageant.
After dress parade, conducted by Col
onel James, and the reading of guard
orders, the companies were dismissed
to their respective quarters. The
Trails Rifles had their tents on the

IT seems little singular that in all

Josh Mayer, colored, was hanged
at Camden, in Maryland, yesterday,
for the murder of Benjamin Cooper,
| in December last. He was convicted
on circumstantial evidence, but after
conviction he confessed the crime.
On the scaffold he confessed that he
had also murdered his wife and child
and negro woman, and that he had
burned many barns and gins. He was
perfectly resigned. The rope slipped
and death was caused by strangulation,
in twelve minutes. Six thousand
persons were present.
The whisky frauds are still receiv-

record evidence was discovered to-day
against the Union Copper distillery at
Chicago, and one hundred and fifty
barrels of spirits were seized at their
works; three hundred barrels were
also seized belonging to Bevis & Fra
zier, st. Louis, fresh proof being OBJ
tanned against them. Photographic
copies of Internal revenue returns are
being made at the treasury department
and forwarded to offices at different
cities; among those made to-day was
one from the gauger at Cincinnati, GER
tifying that certain number of bar
rels OF spirits had been emptied and
stamps destroyed in accordance with
law, and on further search, a lot of
spirits were found in Chicago, in the
original packages, thus conclusively
showing collision of the gauger with
the distillers. On this transaction
alone the government lost $4,000.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 1.-The local health

Of yellow fover ut Norfolk, Va- kilograms from

severe Cases Of fever and jaundice on board

DIR. HOLLAND is Of opinion that 'in
those sects in WHICH much Is made OF
religious emotions, aud the policy OF
powerful public appeals to feeling Is
pursued, the moralities Of life are at a
discount. The same fact IL evident In
those communities where dogma and
doctrine form the staple Of religious
teaching and religious life. any one
will take up the early colonial records
of New England, he will be surprised
and shocked at the amount Of gross
immortality which he will find
recorded there. Rigidity Of doc.
trine, the illumination Of the most
terrific punishments IN the future life,
the passage and the execution Of the
most searching and definite laws
against every form Of social vice, go
hand In hand with every form Of vice.
There was adultery inhigh places, and
adultery in low. Islander held high
carnival. Common scolds were al
most too common 10 be noteworthy.
In brief, II seems that IA religion which
makes most of its orthodoxy, or most
Of its frames and emotions Of mind, is
q religion most divorced from mo-
rality.n
