RUMoRs as to the ultimate in
tention of the Santa Fe railway
in building the Montgomery
extension are rife and one can
hear any sort of a rumor to suit
his fancy. The road is to be
built north of the Yegua, south
of the Yegua, via Indepen-
dence, and also to BRENNAN.
We do not think that the COM
pany will build on any of the
surveys without giving Bren-
ham some chance to get the
branch road. AT present more
business is done by this COM
pany at Brennan than any 9TH
er point on the road and the
branch road if brought here
would add largely to its bust
ness.

HEAVY DOCKET The GRIM
inal docket of our district court
tor this term is heavier than
ever before and the number of
cases is larger. There is now
on the docket the enormous
number of nineteen murder
cases, two of which, however,
are by change of venue from
other counties; there is also
twenty-nine cases for assault
with intent to commit murder.
Such an enormous criminal
docket does not speak well for
our county. 1t is difficult to
account for the large increase
of crime in the county; a major
ity of the offenders are negroes.
Heretofore juries have shown a
disposition to be lenient, espe-
cially in cases of offenses

The Power of Gentleness.
BY JOSIE KEEN.

We have often urged upon others the
great power of love and gentleness toward
inferior animals. 1t is wonderful how
these will subdue them, and win the
most faithful love and obedience in re-
turn. A striking instance of this is
recorded in connexion with bull-fght
in Cadiz, Spain.
These cruel bull-fghts for the enter
tainment of the public were common in
Greece, particularly in Thessaly, and in
Rome nnder the emperors, though in la-
ter times they were forbidden both by
emperors and popes They are, how
ever, said still to be favorite pastime in
Spain and Mexico. In Spain they were
abolished by Charles ~; but Joseph,
Napoleon's brother, re-established them
out Of policy, the mass Of the Spanish
population being passionately fond Of the
sport.
The greatest bull-fghts were at one
time instituted by the monarchs them
selves. At present, both in the capital
and in the large towns, they are held
ether as a private speculation or for the
benefit Of public institutions. In Madrid
the bull-fght season is said to commence
in April and last until November. Dur
