ing, they were shocked at the intel
ligence that one of their fraternity,
r. j. Beaumont, editor of the May
field Democrat, had been arrested
for the same offense as that with
which Major Flood is charged. Mr..
Beaumont had been a mail messen-

EARMER,s CONTENTION.

The convention met at Knoxville
on the 10th. The Tribune says it
was a fair body of farmers. and from
various parts Of East Tennessee.
They came prepared for business
and approached tue work before them
in solid earnest. The large room of
the Court house was completely
filled.
Col C. W. Charlton, former Presi-
dent Of the convention, called the
meeting to order. After some pre-
liminary business the Convention
organized permanently as follows:
President, J. A. Turley, McMinn
county.
1st Vice Presidents. A. Rogers,
Loudon county.
I'd Vice President-Robt. P. Rhea,
Sullivan county.
Sd Vice President-R. C. Garter,

4th Vice President-W. w. Wal
lace, Anderson county.
5th Vice President Tom Crouch
field. Hamilton county.
1st Secretary-C. w. Charlton,
Knox county.
I'd Secretary-John N. Meek,
j efferson county.
Delegates were present from An
derson, Blount, Greene. Hawkins,
Loudon. Knox. Sewer, Bradley,
James, Hamilton, Jefferson, Mon
roe. Washington. Sullivan. Roane
and McMinn.
The proceedings, as reported in
the Knoxville papers, are unusually
interesting. Among the resolutions
adopted the first day we are glad TO
find the following:
Resolved, That is the sense of this
that we ask the next
to pass a law giving ev
cry man the privilege to protect his
premises against any and all incur
sions of dogs by allowing him to
kill them at any time he may find
them on his farm.

Only some withered blossoms,
Crumbling to dry decay;
Only glove half torn in two,
And idly cast away.
Only a heart that is breaking
That is if hearts COULD break;
Only a man adrift for life,
All for woman's sake.
Only few such tokens,
PrIZed by love-sick fool;
Nought but the ashes that strew the
ground
When loves hot flame grows cool.
Not the first man by thousands,
The dupe of a heartless fiirt;
Not the first time that priceless love
Was treated like common dirt.
Only in jesti You know it
Now, though it's rather late
Rather too late to turn in your life,
And seek for another fate.
You're not man like thousands,
With a heart that will veer and twirl
And feel glow at the. word and glance
Ofevery flirting girl.
Finish'd for ever and lost;
Wreck'd by a treacherAus smile;

THE EAST TENNESSEE VIRGINIA
AND GEORGIA RAILROAD.

In mentioning the details of the
brilliant reception gwen to President
Hayes and his party in Tennessee,
the important part borne by the OIL
GERS OF the Railroad Company seems
to have been generally overlooked.
Much Of the success of the reception
is due TO the admirable arrangements
made by Col. McGhee and those as
sociated with him. A special train
was placed at the disposal OF the
party at Chattanooga, and Maj.
O'Brien Assistant Superintendent OF
the road was along in person, to
look after the comfort and conven-
ience of all. He succeeded so we'll,
that we have not heard a single ad
verse criticism on the management
of the trains. A special train took
the party to Dalton Friday night,
returned them to Knoxville Sunday
morning and passed them on to
Bristol. Col. McGhee, Vice President
of the road, accompanying them as
far as Lynchburgh.
For their enterprise and liberality
they are entitled to the thanks of
the community. Besides the liberal
arrangements on his road. extending
every facility that could be asked
for by our local committees for the
proper reception OF their distinguish
ed guests, Col. McGhee took an ac-
tive part in the arrangement of af-
fairs in the city, and is entitled TO
full share of the credit for the sue
cess with which we are all so well
pleased. -KnOr0jlLe Chronicle.

The fall trade presents a very lovely
aspect in New York, judging from the
following special to the Cincinnati Cone
naeiciaE. The week has been character
lied by an increase in business over that
of any previous one this fall. The mer-
chants continue to report excellent sales,
and the dry goods men especially note
the welcome prosperity. The volume
of business promises to be double that
of last fall. New York streets haYe not
presented so brisk and business-like an
appearance since the panic, and her
tradesmen have not been so much en-
couraged. They look for still greater
benefits in the spring, arguing that by
that time the money put in motion by
the abundant crops viii have reached

Broadwsy sales rooms is that the bottom
of trade stagnation has been knocked
out, and that better times have come to
stay.

The Mexicans in San Antonio


Every where about the outskirts
of the town are innumerable low
huts built of sticks and mud and
straw and any old drift, rooted with
thatch coming almost to the ground,
and presenting an appearance of the
utmost squalor. These are the
Mexican jacals. The chimney and
its ovens are usually in cone of
baked and blackened mud little re-
moved. and under rude awning or
tree-the whole family is usually to
be seen, with mules. donkeys, chick
ems, and horde of dogs, among the
latter a hideous, hairless animal,
promiscuously intermixed. Dogs
are largely in the majority of the
population in San Antonio. and their
baying diFides the noises of the
night with the cock-crowing that
resounds from house to jacal, from
farm to ranch, and rises on the ear
in broad surges of sound like the
waves of the sea. If you should
glance into one of these jaeals, you
would find an earthen floor cleanIy
swept, bed neatly made and bright.
ly covered, and the place garnished
after its sort; and although the gen.
eral idea is that it is q nest of filth,
to the casual eye it seems clean and
orderly, but poor to the last degree
of poverty. Yet the Mexican here
can live on less than any. In the
summer the corn and onion and pep
pers of his garden patch meet his
needs in the winter, even when he
owns his bit of land, ffvepenny
soup bone and one sweet-potato
comprise his usual marketing, But
poor as he may be, his daughters do
not go out to service his mother
wraps her ribosa-that remnant o?
the Spanish mantilla-about her with
the grand air; and he himself, al
though in rags. salutes you on the
street with the grave courtesy of a
Spanish don. Making exception of
the proud old Mexican families Of
lineage and repute. who live in Sc.
clusion, it is not possible to feel that
these people who are known as Mex
leans have any claim to the name as
we use it. They are simply gen.
tier Indian, accepting sort of civ
ilization, now and then with a fairer
tint, now and then with wave in
the hair that tells of darker blood,
and always with high cheek-bone,
following them to the tenth genera
ton. The proud Castilian has but
small part in them, the gentle Mon.
tezuma race perhaps has less. One
having those two strains in his veins
the Spaniard, with his hemisphere
of poetry behind him; the Montezu-
man, representing ancient and right
full empire of the continent-should
wear, it would seem, other than
these low-bowed faces stamped in
their dumb and sullen ignorance,
whether you see them on the women
squatting the brick floor of the
cathedral, or on the men lounging in
the plazas against any thing which
will uphold them, darker and more
sullen for the shadow of their huge
sombreros.
San Antonio is, in fact. Spanish
town to-day, and the only one where
any considerable remnant of Span
ish life exists in tue United States.
