GREAT Observation-Disclosures

GREAT EXcfTEMENr.-About
4 o'clocl, on Sunday afternoon
weak shrlll steam whistle was
heard up tie railroad; it being
a strange sound attracted a
tention and everyone within
hearing who had nothing to do
ran down to the depot; BAN
NER reporter also went down,
but he nidn't run. Quite a
crowd had gathered on the plat
form; the excitement was, the
Galveston Ne50's mail car had
arrived from up the road. Eve
rybody, big little, old and young
black and white, beautiful and
ugly who is able to read had
read of the mail car and those
who were unable to read had
heard of it, consequently their
was an universal desire to see
it. As but comparatively few
saw the institution" we will en-
deavor to describe it. The car
is on wheels; it is somewhat
larger than a wheelbarrow and
somewhat smaller than large
ocean steamship. 1t is simply
an overgrown hand car propell-
ed by steam. The entire trick
is about 20 feet in length with
cab on the forward end when
running in one direction and on
aft end when runiug the other
way; it is a doubled-ender. The
motive power is an upright
boiler and engine geared to
work on the same principal as
a hand car, there being only
four wheels. A skeptical spec
tator remarked that a gallon of
water and stick of stove wood
would run it to Chappell Hill,
distant II miles. 1t is said to
be capable of running 80 or 40
miles an hour.

ACCIDENT The BANNER
learns that on Wednesday last
a man named Bremen, aged
about 90 or 65 years, accident
ally shot himself while riding
near Long Point. 1t appears
that as he was riding by house
the dogs ran out barking at him,
he had shotgun with which he
began poking at them using the
butt end of the gun as a poker
it was by some means discharg-
ed the entire load taking effect
in his breast and killing him in
stantly. Nothing was learned
as to who the man was.

They Took SUGAR.-Friday
evening Werner & Bro. whose
store is in the rear of the Opera
House on North street, had a
full hogshead of sugar; it was
left out under the awning. Sat
urday morning the hogshead of
sweetness had moved itself out
into the middle of the street
1t is supposed to have been
moved by spirits (propably black
ones.) Close to the hogshead
was piece of T rail about three
feet long which had been used
as battering ram to knock the
head out. About a hundred
pounds of sugar had been spirit
ed away. The thieves are get
ting quite bold-it is dangerous
to leave anything portable out
of doors.

CAMILLE.-Another fine au-

excellent company. 1t is safe

SCARCITY OF SERvANTs.-We
learn that there is much COM
plant of the scarcity of house
servants. although good wages
are paid--eight to ten dollars
per month. Most of the do
mestic servants here are of the
colored persuasion and are by
no means reliable; sometimes
they will stay at a place a
month, but more frequently
want to make a change sooner.
A considerable number of good
white women can get employ
ment and fair pay as servants
in BRENNAN.

north fork of Hog river in the

has proved that the best way to
secure the repeal of an unpop-

vigorously. Popular opinion is

TEXAS papers, in alleging that
the agricultural and mechanical
colledge does not fulfill the con-
ditions of the grant from con-
gress, under which it takes its
name, should not be too exact
ing. An examination of the
manner under which requests
for educational, charitable and
other objects are administered
elsewhere will show that in the
matter of chow not to do it,
Texas falls infinitely behind
most other countries. A late
writer instances one charity
school in London, which is an
example of the perversion of
the original intentions of the
founders-"Christ's Hospital
schools" better known as Blue
Coat school," This institution
he notes as one of the best
educational establishments in
the metropolis. 1t was intend
ed for the sons of poor citizens
of London; but at the present
time poor man has not the
ghost of chance to get a child
in. The scholars are the chill
dren of well-to-do men-solici-
tors, merchants, clergymen, with
a fair sprinkling of those whose
fathers have titles to their
names. These men send their
sons here, get them fed, clothed
and educated, to the utter ex-
clusion of the class for which
the school was really founded.
A number of similar cases are
stated by the same writer.

CAUGHT EN- Be it remem-
bered that a party went out
from the moral city of Brennan
bird catching on Sunday. They
took net with them and sue
ceeded in taking SO quails. The
gentlemen are sportsmen and
claim that they are compelled
to catch birds in self defense as
others who live in the country
do it. They claim to be OPP
posed to netting and say that it
should be stopped. The BAN
NER has on former occasions ad-
vocated the passage of a game
law. 1t would deal gently with
those who kill game out of sea-
son and seine the ponds and
creeks, by sending them to the
penitentiary for short term Of
90 years.
