We Gull the following inter-
esting extract from letter writ
ten by a lady resident of Texas,
dated
SPRINGTowN, Parker Co., Texas
April IL, 1878.
1t is dry and warm here-hot
as in July and August. We
are having little rain to-day,
for the first we have had in two
months. The woods are per-
fectly green and dotted with
wild flowers of all kinds. [ sup
pose it is warm weather and the
moisture under the roots that
makes the trees and flowers bud
oft and grow SO fast. Corn
that's planted and garden seed
we sowed can't come up for the
want of rain. / sowed my cab
bage seed and beets over six
weeks ago; not single one has
showed itself out Of the ground.
Wheat is about knee high, be-
ginning to head out, and some
Of it looks like its dying.
Our freestone water is good
as ever was drank, aud our well
never goes dry; said to be the
best, healthiest water in Parker
washes soft as rainwater. Good
sandy land. Dock says IF the
season as good and the grasshop-
pers don't come and eat up eve-
ry thing, he will raise eight hum
dred ora thousand bushels corn
to sell, and six or seven bales of
cotton, which will bring him
fifty dollars each. Good crops
here are uncertain. Last gear
the grasshoppers came and des-
troyed nearly everything that
was made. Some gears sets IN
"a drostth and they raise nothing,
so it is a great risk. There was
a man told me the other day
that Texas was no farming
country. I think raising cattle
here is the surest and best way
to make money. After I stay
here year or two, and see with
my own eyes, l can write you
more about this Lone Star State.
It's spoken of by some as being
the garden spot of the world,
but / think quite different.
Yours, etc., Bell.

The Knoxville Tribune oil

The handsome monument erect

We are advised that arrange

The Grafton on the occasion
will be delivered by. Hon. George

election of MIR. Jones for this sol
emily interesting duty is most ap.
propriaie. The relations between
himself and the deceased ex-
President during his life time,
were of the most intimate and
confidential character, beginning
in early manhood aid only bro

Inasmuch as the time selected
is the day before the assembling

Conven.ion-a TACT not noted at

The Mofett Register

This remarkable discovery by
DIR. Samuel MofFett, of Rock
in9hsln county, Va, a former
graduate of the University Of
Virginia, is receiving much
tcnnment both from the press
bi this country and Europe.
The design of this Register and
the Excise Law growing out of
It, IS 10 pour more money into
The Treasury of the State, and
10 Tighten the burden of tax
payers, by demanding a certain
per cent. Of the amount of liquor
sold by the drislk.
We see that the New York
Sun advocates the Introduction
of The Register in the State of
New York, land the Courier-Joatr.
nal in that of Kentucky. TIE
New York Sam says:
"The effect of such a law
strictly applied in this city
would be surprising. The Pres
ldeni of the Wine and Spirit
Traders Society says that $780,
OOO,OOo are spent in our city bar
rooms in a year. There are
5000 liquor saloons averaging.
SO he thinks, $40 per day, or
100000 for the lot. Deduct
The ffty-two Sundays, and we
have a grand aggregate of $780,
100000. Add what is sold on
Sunday in violation of the law.
and the figures will easily reach
$GO,O00,e00. This sum, at 10
cents glass, would cover Co.,
100000 drinking. But we es-
Innate the proportion of malt
liquors as three to one, and as
lager beer and ale in large ma
jority of saloons is but five
cents a glass, we are safe in
putting the number of drinks
sold yearly in this city at l.
200,0Oo,000. Say that 800, 00O,-
900 of these are alcoholic and
900,000,O00 malt> the Moffett
law would return S7,50o,000
taxes for the former and ST.
100000 for the latter an ag-
gregate Of 100000 year.

A CAMPAIGN SLANDER.

When Or. R. V. Pierce was a candidate
for State Senator, his political opponents
published pretended analysis o. his pop
ular medicines, hoping thereby to prejudice
the people against him. His election by an
overwhelming majority severely rebuked
his traducers, who sought to impeach his
business integrity. No notice would have
been taken o. these campaign lies were it
not that some of his enemies (and every sue
cessful man has his full quota of envious
rivals) are republishing these bogus analy-
ses. Numei Gus and most absurd formulas
have been published, purporting to come
from high authority and it is significant
fact that no two have been at all alike-con-
clusively proving the dishonesty of their
authors.

Hence the murder. White hired

ger had many friends and connec.

to hang them.
The people came in from every
direction in droves, and by II o

All was expectation and anxiety

much excitement. The sheriff
was busy summoniug guards to
protect the Jail, but none could
be found willing 10 take the po-

in the Jail, the United States mar

guards to keep them safe.

THE GYPSY QUEEN.
Burial or Matilda stanley. Queen or the
American Tribes, at Dayton, Ohio.

Burial OF Matilda stanley. Queen Of the
American Tribes, nj Dayton, Ohio.
Especial 70 the Chicago Tribune.l
CINCINNATI, o., September 15.-The
funeral OF Matilda Stanley, late Queen
Of the Gypsies in the United States, took
place at Dayton to-day in presence of
over 10000 people. The programme of
services did not differ essentially from
any Christian burial. If any exercises
Of a peculiar character took place, they
were apart from the public demonstra-
ton. There was long line of car
riages, and services in the cemetery
we're conducted by the Rev. Daniel
Bergher, Of the United Brethren's
Church, of Dayton, assisted by quar-
tette from the church choir Of the city.
The Gypsy Queen died in Vicksburg last
February, and her body was embalmed
in such manner that it still retains the
natural appearance of life. II was
placed in vault in the cemetery, and
every day members Of the late Queens
family have come with fresh flowers TO
strew over her. To-day there were a
dozen Chiefs and their tribes in the city
from different sections Of the United
States to pay their last tribute to the
dead Queen. The deceased was a
plain, hardy-looking old woman,
with touch Of Meg Merriiies in ap-
pearance, and = manner indicative of
strong and pronounced character. There
are stories told Of her wonderful facul-
ties Of telling fortunes when she pleased,
and her remarkable power as mes
merist, both Of these qualities being ac-
counted for by the fact that they were
handed down to her as the eldest
daughter in the Stanley family, and
we're secrets possessed by her alone.
She possessed singular influence over
her people that has not entirely ceased
with her death. Her subjects came to
America in 1856, and shortly after Sc
lected Dayton as their headquarters for
the summer months, and it became the
center for the Gypsies Of the country.
They are good neighbors-industrious
and thrifty-contrary to the usually
conceived idea. They have several
large farms near the city. In the win
ter they pack up for the South to specu-
late and trade, leaving one or two Of
the tribe TO look after their property at
home. They are revcrent church peo-
pie, and the reigning King, Levi Stan
ley, and his son and heir, known as
!" Sugar Stanley" are members Of the
/. o. O. II. in good standing. The
grave Of the Queen, in which the coffin
will rest, Is a box made of stone slabs,
two feet deep and ten BY four in dimen-
