A pious lover Of old memories cut Jeffer-
son Davis's bold autograph out of the hotel
register at Dallas and the keeper Of that i
tavern has absolutely sworn 80 rapturously i
and everlastingly about it that they can't l
keep shingles on the house, and the atmos-
phere is in such a state of terrible vibration |
that the guests can't catch breath.
The performances Of Mccartney, and the
manner in which he distributed sopori6c CT
oars. has suspended this sort of generosity
on Texan railways. They do put people 10
sleep most inoppoFtnnely, and nobody now
dares to smoke cigar unless he pays for 1t

Chicago banks, public benefactort
Corsicana people want to know how much
money is collected by the mayor in fines
and forfeituFes, and how much he fobs, and
how much is worked out, and how much
the town pays for il, and we have heard
similar questions sprung here in Austin

Calvin Jones, near Bonham, holding a
gun in his left hand and throwing sticks to
turn q squirrel rs women make milk
s'turn," we suppose. with the right, sud
denly found himself turning into cold

/ future offenses in another part OF these
mundane spheres. He win find himself
grievousIy trameled in all his movements,
and, however merrickorious, will hang II
caught.
Gov. Coke is most as anxious to capture
Merfick TrammelI as Ireland to gobble the
whole Democratic party in the little net he
spread with the Telegraph. The governor
offers $500 for Trammell; but ireland
would give a thousand to keep all the lit
tie arrangements straight effected to secure
the successorship to the gubernatorial
throne.
The STATESMAN is sent out every morning
to the Bolton Journal, but, since it doesn'
like to be smashed up with Governor Dicl
and John Ireland unfortunately, it natur
ally goes slow, and doesn't show its modes

Office. We can't help it. 1t has made OF
rangements of its own with the POstofflc

An innocent Swede, who had torn b
breeches about the ankles, and thus looks
Z like Mccartney stripped of bracelets below

The poor Swede was scared out of his seve
