Colonel Paramore, president of the ST.

some very gratifying news. lie said that his

upon it as soon as the rosd was finished to
Waco, which would be early next year.

completed and cars running from Texarkana
to Tyler, and the contractors are far advsnc-
ed with the line between Tyler and Corsi-
cana. From Corsicana it goes to Waco di.
rect, ond it is not contemplated TO build il
farther than that point.
He said that his company fully recognized
Dallas as the great railway center of north
Texas, and had come to the conclusion that
as matter Of business it was necessary to
run the road to this point, as all great lines
are oonverging upon this as common cen,
ter. 1t will traverse rich and magnificent
country very important to every commercial
interest of Dallas, and TO reach and com
mand which this road is absolutely neces-

Dallas will receive tho road with opel

all the patronage she can.

CHICAGO, Wednesday, August Is.
Chicago is a big city. The Trien-
NAL Conclave is still bigger. There
are more people in Chicago this week
dian were ever gathered together in
one place On this continent, if not in
the world. Not seeing, you cannot
appreciate the crowd that is packed
in the Lake City. Every hotel in the
city was packed early in the week.
Fourteen hundred tents, large and
roomy, erected OIL the lake, were
soon filled. Hundreds of people had
to leave the city because they could
get no place even to stand and
sleep" Some OF the Mexico crowd
could have slept III the room they
would have required to stand i'll, of
whom we are which.
The Mexico delegation were lucky
in getting a hotel, and they were out
of luck when they got their hotel.
They were assigned the Massasoit
House, (don't get the Massasoit and
Palmer confounded) and hither they
went. This hotel is q big house with
little rooms. Four human beings,
| together with about four million inhu-
man beings, who could not be SIN
hoe signo ginces," were expected to
sleep in a room four by seven feet.
The carpets, furniture, &C., seems to
be one hundred years old ; the native
inhabitants, by their energy displayed
at night, have thousands of years Of
experience the smells appear to be
at least a million of years old ant
some of them would pass for thu
smells of dead smells. Some of oul
delegation moved to other quarters
others went home the next day, while
others stayed 1t out. Your editor i

The dissolution of the Herald is
characteristic of its career( y. '.Sub-
slsting' is a good word, but found in
bad company this time. "Partnership
subsisting!" Webster says the def
milton to subsist is, s'to be maintained
with food and clothing, or to have
assistance by means of something"
The question now is, did a partner
ship ever ''subsist'' according 10
Webster! If not, how could it be
"unsubslsted?" "Conduct of the
Herald!' Conduct is a good word
as long as it behaves itself. Webster
says to conduct means ''to guide, to
lead, to manage" Has the Herald
been conducted as Webster defines
manager" If not, how could
something which did not ~"subsist'' be
dissolved? "Aug. the 10TH was a
very pleasant day, except that it
was very warm, all of which Is now
accounted for, but it was not Tues
day. Tuesday was the 3rd. 10th,
18th, oath OR 31st. The 10Th was on
Thursday. If no such a day as
Tuesday, Aug. 10, 1880, ever hap
pened, how could something which
did not subsist be dissolved On a day
which never.existed? "Business will
remain as before!" This can mean
nothing, without it means that the
debts 1t owes will remain Just as they
are and will never be paid, but will
always ''subsist." sd. Reddington
will settle!' Yes he will come in Sat-
urday night and pay his men so cents
each, when he owes them almost as
many dollars. The sooner a firm of
this kind is dissolved, u~nsubsisted or
kicked out of the community, the
better it will be for men in legitimate
business and for the community
at large. The above dissolution
notice is the poorest written epitaph
that ever ''subsisted."
