was as poorly lighted and badly

ell out a very good audience and the ex-
cursion fairly filled the house.
The opera was decided success. In

stage it was presented In q

Hornbrook gave to the part Of "Serpo-

clear, high soprano voice, the effect
was fascinating. Mrs. Eof looked acted

DOUBLING UP ORDERS.
1t appears from report No. 1 of the
experts that Bernard Stanley, Poor
Agent, is overdrawn $50, and he was
called upon to explain it, or to voluR-
teer any Information concerning it. He
said this:
"Some time ago, it may be one or two
years ago, came in town and met
Deiters outside OF the office. i told him
wanted $3.50 due me on account Of
salary. l went up stairs and he gave
me an order for $500, saying: There is
$50 due me, and il you will cash this
order you will save me trip to tie
bank went and got the money, and
when i returned Deiters was not here
| met Jim Quarter and gave il to him,
telling him to give il to Deiters."
Mr.. Quarter corroborated this. lie
said he remembered the circumstances
perfectly. Mr.. Stanley had met him at
the foot OF the stairs and told him ne
had the $50 for Deiters and wanted TO
90 out on the train and requested him
to hand it TO Deiteis. Quarter. had
wrapped the money in paper and put it
in a desk drawer, giving 1t tc Mr.. Dei-
ters when he came in.
Mr.. Cracraft asked il Mr.. Deiters had
made or attempted to make any con-
cealment, TO which Quarter answered
no.
Mr.. Hubbard placed in evidence or

The writing 10 the stub was very poor
and at the bottom blurred so as to be
illegible. Over the date to which $3.50

boys and girls published IN the
English language. 1t meets a
long felt want in the family cir
Gle, and is acknowledged to be
a valuable means of developing
the youthful mind. Every word
printed IN its attractive pages is
as pure and elevating as that
which comes from a mothers
lips. 1t possesses a potent in
fiuence and charm, which make
it a welcome guest to parent
and child alike. Bright short
stories from pens trained to
write for the young. sparkling
poems and rhymes, fascinating
puzzles and beautiful illustra-
tons appear weekly in its col
umns. In the third volume,
commencing Nov, I, will begin
in a new tale by Mr.. James
Otis, entitled "Mr. Stubbs's
Brothe," a sequel to the famous
story of Toby Tyler" by the
same author, which was such a
popular feature in Harper's
Young People during the past
year. The subscription price
of the paper is only SI.5o. 1t
would be cheap at five dollars.

The Tenant System.

1 AAduf Vi lHC OhuCIS vi Id
farms.in this county have util-
iced them by renting the land
to tenats and furnishing houses
for them to live in. Some of
the tenants work on shares
while others pay money rent.
A very considerable number of
! the tenants are negroes and
much dissatisfaction has been
expressed by the landlords
the negro tenant is now free
man as well as a freedman, and
being free he proceeds to enjoy
his liberty by working when he
feels like 1t and letting it alone
when he does not. Unfortu-
nately for the landlord the idle
spells always seem to come on
the freedman at a time his crop
is most in need of attention !;
the freedman is generally of
religious turn of mind and. if
revival is in progress in his
neighborhood he regards his
| eternal salvation as of much
more importance than such an
earthly. affair as a crop of cot
| ton or corn, and while he is abb
sent attending to his religious
duties his crop and his landlord
| are both suffering. At the be-
ginning of the crop season the
average negro tenant is full of
hope and promises. He under
takes to cultivate more ground
than he can attend to; works
diligently in preparing and
pitching" his crop, and when
the rains and grass both come
he is almost certain to be
caught by the latter. He is
not alone, if he was he might
work out, his neighbors are also
in the grass and for the sake OF
getting a few dollars in cash
the colored tenant will desert
tempo-arlly-his own crop to
work for somebody else. He
is generally improvident and is
always compelled to live from
hand to mouth and if he has on
hand provisions for d week in
advance he is supremacy happy.
There is in this county a num-
Der of good negro tenants who
attend closely to their business
and make good crops as well as
money, but they are the ex-
ception and not the rule. A few
colored men own their farms,
but they are very few. The
question with land owners now
is how to get their..land cult
waited; each years experience
with colored tenants seems to
be more and more unsatisfac-
tory, and many farmers are try
ing to sell out altogether, while
others are. endeavoring to sub
stitute white for colored labor.
If there is an honest desire on
the part of these having lands to |
rent, to secure white tenants, |
they can do so by united eff
fort. They must cooperate as
Individual effort in this direction
will not accomplish much. By
procuring white tenants who
are honest and industrious they
viii. be getting a class of people
who will be able to buy lands
for themselves, and it would in
all probability, be better for the
landlords as well as for the peo-
pie generally if there were more
small farms and fewer tenants.
The small farmers are usually
the most successful and make
much better average crops than
the large farmers whose plceas
are poorly worked.

The San Antonio Light is
making a warfare on the gam
blers of San Antonio, and it
says that gamblers is by no
means confined to the regular
gambling houses, but that in a
private way card playing for
money is INDUCED in in offices
and at private houses. This
species of gaming is beyond
the reach of the law, and the
state laws are a dead letter
throughout the state. 1t wants
officers elected who will enforce
the laws. Before gambling can
be stopped by law it will be
necessary that a wonderful
change take place in public
sentiment regarding it.

Age formerly lived in Brennan

was bad negro, and a kind of
"bully" among his negro breth-

some time ago..to be killed. 1t
was a question only, upon
whom he would impose the ne
cessity of rendering him that
peculiar service. It may be re-
marked that the--..records show
that every bully and desperate
finally comes to a bad end. 1t

The hummer.

This is an INDECENT but very
expressive name given to an in
dividual of the male gender
who makes his chief home in
the large cities, but he is also to
be found in the smaller ones
and in the towns; nearly every
body knows him personally !;
he is very easy to become ac-
quainted with. He is differ
ent character from the hood
lum, though is almost equally
as much opposed to honest la
Dor. A Distinguishing charac-
teriStic ofthe hummer is the con-
tinuous drought that forever
reignS in the region ofhis stom-
ach; dryness is his normal con-
dition and his chronic COM
plant. He is always a COM
mittee of one on internal irriga-
ton; he lives to drink and
drinks to live. While he has a
great fondness for fluid refresh
ments he generally manages to
keep on his feet; it is his bust
ness to be wide-awake at all
times. The hummer, like all
other business and professional
men, has his busy season and
his season of rest and recuper-
alton. His business season
commences from one to six
months before an election, at
such times he looms up as a
person of vast importance he
has neither property or money
of his own and of course has no
vital interest at stake in the
election of officers, but being a
man Of extensive acquaintance
he is always ready to lend his
influence to the: candidate or
candidates that will furnish
him the most. money to espouse
his or their cause. With the
better portion of the, communi-
ty he has no influence what
eyer; DO one knows this better
than the professional hummer
himself, but there is in every
city, town and community a
class of men who have no
homes or settled place of abode
for. more than a few months at
a time, and who are citizens
and..under the law fare entitled
to vote. This class OF voters
have neither politics or princi-
pies, they care nothing about
the character or fitness of the
men for whom they..vote to fill
offices as a lax administration
of the laws, be they municipal,
county or state, is more than
likely to be in their favor, as
from this class the criminal
courts get a..ssmajority of the
offenders. 1t is among floating
population that the hummer is
at home he is furnished mon
ey and turned loose to use it in
the interest of the candidate or
party furnishing it, and in
stances are not wanting in
which the hummer has taken
from both parties and at
the samesstime has done no vio- |
lence to his conscience. 1t is
about time that the hummer |
was permanently retired from
political duty; political parties
as well as individuals can az
ford to do without him.
