The morals of Palestine have been anne
lorated vastly by the accession of the In
teTnauonal people to the population of the
town. The Adc0cdte-sll AdpOodtes are pi-
Gus and generally Methofist-doesn't con-
tain a single sensation or fist fight or smash
up.
Spring lambs from Tennessee supply the
hotel tables of New York City to the num-
Der of thirty thousand Juvenile sheep per

The bar of Dallas are getting up strong
memorial to the Fifteenth Legislature
asking that the Supreme Court be branched

Dogs have hydrophobia In Bonham, and
there's great terror there, or would be if
there was anything but newspapers to be
bitten, and then, if every fellow that is Bit
ten by a newspaper takes the disease, those
good men collected at the Capitol yester-
day to locate the penitentiafy should wall
III Bjnham as first class madhouse. -.
The excellent Austin correspondent of
the Houston Telegraph is about to be lost
as contributor to the pages of the ancient
journal. They have discovered traces of
Capt. Kidd's buried treasures on the Hud-
son, and where mans treasure is, there
will his heart be also, and the newspaper is
sadly bereaved.
They have Sons of Malta lodge in Wa
co, and will organize one in Austin. 1t
beats Manonry and Odd Fellowship, and the
women like it, especially the last scene, in
which the acolyte holds in his hand the
scroll of the Rutabaga Constitution and
waves it before the altar of the country s
birth and freedom. ...t. ..,....,.,
They call bright, fashy young fellows of
Terrell, Terrellites up in Kaufman. The
origin of the term is in the word aeroli+e,
and these are fragments from comets tails
and are sometimes called lmeteors, and so
numerous are they that the heaving little
newspaper up there, for its brightness, is
called the Star. "a .....-
There is partnership, somehow, we sus-
pect, between the Dallas Commercial man
and the plaintiff in that libel suit. We
would know it Is so; but can't see how
any living woman could have such depraved
taste. But it must be so and we want to
know how much such an advertising
process costs fellow.
That local editor of the Sherman Register
who ate enormously and couldn't get out of
the hotel DINING room, till they shut up the
house that he might collapse for few days,
has been over to Greensville and in two
days gained twenty pounds. He wasn't
afraid since he slept out of doors while
over there, that he couldn't get away.
The Athens Courier says that there is a
young man in Athens who has got it bad.
He says his inamorata is a temple of pure
marble lighted by lamps fed with holy oil,
and that he likes TO sit by her side on the
front gallery these beautiful moonlight
nights and put his arm around her where
a surcingle goes round horse. D' .--."
Pete Holder was killed by Sigh Clark
last Saturday at Veales's Station, not far
from Weatherford. 1t seems to have been
done according to Gunter, as Clark is still
signing and nobody arrests him. He is
only eighteen and Pete forty. Pete was q
terrible fellow till quoted by the youth
a bullet piercing his heart.
The Planters House in Dallas sues the
COmmercldL for telling about the dead Dig
swollen to infinite intensity and exha ling
perfumes in front of that splendid estab-
lishment. Dead dogs roasted even by the
sunbeams and absorbing whisky from wan
dering winds in Dallas don't seem to be
pleasing ''facts or fancies" for travellers.
D. P. Edmonds, who has been stealing
small sums of 800 and $500 in different
places about San Antonio, has been caught,
and will probably be banged. If he had
killed two or three people and shot at 9TH
ers around loosely and indefinitely, in order
to establish decent reputation in the
community, he could still travel scot free.
They don't raise dogs in all the doggeries
of Dallas, but have a heap of fieas there,
and that's what makes the town SO infer
nally active and enterprising, we reckon. A
fellow can't SIT still and do nothing like
the wretched loafers who block the crossing
and won't move, even for ladies, about the
town clock aud Pecan street corners in this
city.
A letter from Duval county, on the from
tier, says: ''When we get better system OF
protection, such as will keep back the ban
dts from Mexico; when a good strong con-
stabulary force arrests floating outlaws that
have cursed this prosperous county, it will
attract solid men, who, will develop its re-
sources and make it the happy home of
many immigrants"
The Rockport Transcript tells that "the
AOiioni AIMING NOnpduy are SILL slauSH-
tering and putting up first class beef at Full
ton, and the steamers never fail to secure a
large portion of their loading from this
thoroughgoing company. The weather
does not affect their business, as the refrig-
Grating process used by them is success
beyond doubt" is
Hall ana McCree-a small pocket edition
of Moody and Sanky-don't dare to tackle
Dallas. Under the painful circumstances
of the past week they come down in a lively
manner upon Jefferson, and Baldwin is
there knocking the black out of jugglers oil
whom ne is chief, and then they are trying
on the young mems Christian association.
It's enough for one collapsed town In one
week, and the Leader is there too, and how
jefferson stands it all we can't see for the
life of US.
Bryan housewives are in trouble. Nearly
all the negroes, especially house servants.
