Mr.. Lynch, in his late speech, said that
he would never vote for property qualii-
cation for voters, ''put that each voter
should first pay his poll tax before he should
be allowed to cast his vote. He objected
to the forty-fifth section of the present Con-
stitution, which provides that all qualified
voters were also qualified jurors" We
would know whether Mr.. Lynch would
have non-property holders and the wander

gathered on election days for n specific pur-
pose and laborers collected by a railroad

THE WILD BOY.-Policeman Allen an

THE WILD BOY.-POliceman Allen and
DIR. Wilson, who went out to see the wild
boy, returned late Tuesday night They
drove to Manchaca Springs, and were there
told that the boy was at the house of Sam
Piper, a few miles distant. This was good
news, for Piper is an alderman Of this CITY.
and it was therefore presumed that he
could not only furnish them with reliable
information about the boy, but allow
them to bring him to this city as
we'll. They fastened on and arrived at
Piper's about p. NJ, but to learn that the
object of their mission had escaped about
three hours before. Mr.. Piper and others
stated that the boy was perfectly docile
when about the yard, and that he would
play for hours with papers, pictures
or dog, and would mind when spoken
to. When found, as we stated yes
terday, he was in n perfectly nude
state, and was engaged in trying to
catch frogs to eat in pond OF water
After being oVertaken at the end of
mile race he offered no resistance,
and seemed pleased of an opportunity to
ride. The boy will eat raw frogs, or any
thing he can catch; has short hair growing
on his neck and down his back piece, and
his head is very we'll formed, though the
impression is that he is simple. 1t was re-
ported about Manchaca that this prodigy
was captured once before, a0d returned to his
father at or near Lockhart, but the old man
did not seem to have much affection for the
child, and manifested no pleasure at his re-
turn. How long the boy, supposed to be
about nine years old, has roamed wild in
the woods no one knows, and where he
came from Is not positively known, but that
he is a wild boy with animal inclinations
and carnivorous propensIties, caught wild
and in a perfectly nude state, there is no
doubt. We have often heard of the cap
ture of wild human beings, and now that
one has actually been secured within fif-
teen or twenty miles of the capital of Texas,
it is a shame that it should have been
allowed to escape, especially before Gu
rious public had been allowed to gaze upon
such a curiosity. Such a prodigy would
be fortune to Barnum or the man with the
eight-legged mare. The wild, woolly-
backed boy should by all means be recap

procedure damages digestion and weakens
the bowels, leaving stomach, liver and in
testines, after the immediate effect, in a
condition of greater disorder than before.
That complete relief :, 4ich remedies Of the
above description signaIly fail to afford is
obtained by using Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. And for the best of reasons. Bilious
ness is the result of inactivity of the liver,
dyspepsia of weakness of the digestive or
gans, and constipation is produced by the
above causes operating together. The Bit
tiers, being powerful stOmachic, overcome
indigestion by stimulating the secretion of
gastric juice, relieve biliousness by promoi-
ing greater activity Of the liver, and thrs

house bond question. A majority of the
board, we understand, arc in favor of issu-
ing bonds and building 800, 900 court
house, but it was decided not to take a vote
for the present. Indeed, some of the COM
missioners had obligated themselves to their
constituents pot to vote in favor of the
proposition at present, and they felt in duty
bound to keep their word, though anxious
to take final and favorable action. The

A luckless devil named Poland, IN try

jury sentenced Poland to the penitentiary,
and as Poland was not intentionally guilty
Of murder, and therefore innocent, he
wouldn't submit and fled to Arkansas; but

comes back and at last must be consigned

man replied, 'If have wronged you at envy

slapped Yeatman's face and Yeatman stab
bed him instantly, and properly. He
walked out, holding together the edges Of
the gaping wound, and fell dead on the

refused to find true bill against Yeatman.

RAIN.-The heavy showers of Saturday,
Sunday and Monday have done world Of
good and materially improved the chances
for a fair cotton crop. In the upper coun-
ties good rain fell some two or three weeks
ago, raising the river at this place some
four or five feet, and parties and newspaper
reports from those counties speak of a most
promising yield of cotton. In this vicinity
fears have been entertained that the cotton
has been seriously injured, but still there is
no certainty about it, and it is possible the
cotton yield will this season be in excess of
that of last season. The rains will be of
great benefit to the country, insuring good
hay crop and plenty of grass for stock.
Gardens will also be benefited and cisterns
replenished.
