A .1Last Msaa Clah. Dinner.


The second annual dinner of the
last Mans Club was given in Phila.
delphia, the other night. and the
Philadelphia Press says: The former
president Of the club having died
during the year, there we're but
eleven members present, although the
table was set for twelve. AS they
seated themselves at the table each
one passed by the sldeboard, on which
was placed a miniature casket in
scribed with the names of the mem>
bers Of the club on silver plate.
Within the casket, reclining on velvet
cushions, lay a bottle of wine also in.
seribed with the twelve names. The
bottle is to be drank by the last man
when he sits down to the annral din
ner alone. Each one seems to think
that even he did not care
much for wine, he would
like to some day have taste
of the contents 1f the bottle.
As the FIRST courses Of the repast were
served, many were the Jokes made on

edited and printed at the Office Of
publication are as good as those that
use the matter ready printed ON one
side Of the sheet. They could not be
expected to be so good. The patent
inside is edited by an experienced
man, who has facilities for obtaining
better secsctons Of interesting reading
matter than the country editor can
have with his limited exchange list:
and this editor lives in city where
ne can obtain the latest news much
more promptly and more fully than
the country editor can. Heis trained
to the BUSINESS, and has nothing to
distract his attention, and no other
duties to perform, therefore it would
be reasonable to believe that he could
put together a more interesting and
readable sheet than could the editor
in a country town, who has often to
perform the duties not only of editor,
but OF compositor, pressman, adver-
Using, solicitor, collector, mailing
clerk, etc. The fact is that the ma
jority of these auxiliary sheets con-
tain admirable literary selections and
compilations of the latest news, con-
densed with great skill. AS they are
better geographically and in liter
airy sense than the country editor
could himself produce, as they cost
him less than setting up type for the
amount of matter they contain would
cost, and as their use leaves him more
time to give attention to the local side
of his paper, we see no reason why
any country editor should presume to
sheer at them. He certainly should
not presume to think that if an article
is good in itself the reader will ap-
preciate it less because he did not
write it. These auxiliary sheets are
furnished by companies located in all
the large cities, and theyare becoming
more popular with publishers of coun-
try weeklies every day.

Attacked by Muskrats.

An extraordinary battle occurred
in Charlotte, the other night, between
a citizen aided by two policemen, and
a gang of muskrats. Charlie Fox was
going to his home, and, when feeling
for the gate in the dark, something
jumped at hisleg and nabbed his pants.
Looking down he saw number OF
small eyes sparkling like diamonds.
He could not imagine what they were,
and kicking them from his legs,
jumped over the fence, hurried to the
house, and came back with lighted
lamp and stick. Hardly had he
reached the spot before the hungry
animals once more attacked his legs.
He knocked one, and as he did So,
his light went out, and he beat a
hasty retreat and hunted for the po-
lice. The officers got a lamp and
proceeded to the scene, and when
they reached the place, they had to
do battle. One big fellow, who was
president Of the body, as his immense
size would indicate, jumped at Officer
Blackwelder, who struck at him with
his club, but missed his aim. The
same one then jumped at Officer
Boyle, who was more successful in
the use of his club and killed it with
a blow on the head. The officers
knocked right and left, and finally
the rats from some cause, or another,
scampered off, and took refuge in a
culvert near by. A careful search OF
the field failed to show but one dead
rat, that weighed ten pounds. Mr..
Fox only saw three when he came
out with the lamp, but about ten or
fifteen in all attacked the police.
They were exceedingly voracious in
their attack on Mr.. Fox, as the torn
condition of his pants about the an
cles indicated. -Charlotte( CO.. Obser-

Big Land Purchase.

James w. Clark, of Syracuse, New
York lis member of syndicate which
is said to have bought 4 900, 900 acres
of land in Texas. He is associated
with Farnsworth and Woolcott, of
Mimi eapolis, Cochran and Newport,
OF st. Paul, and others. According
to st. Louis paper, from which
this information is derived, the land
lies in blocks of whole townships in
the counties of Castro, Lamb, Hook
ley, Gaines, Tom Green, Andrews,
Martin, Dawson, Preside, Pecos and
Ell Paso. These counties lie chiefly
in the two western tiers of the state
and near its center north and south.
The whole 100000 acres bought do
not form continuous body, but lie
in large bodies not far apart. One
solid tract of the lot contains over q
million acres.
The land was bought of the state
and is to be held for a rise.
"All involved in thispurchase," Mr..
Clarke said, ARE engaged in handling
real estate, and we are so fully aware
| of this fact that all desirable low
priced land is being rapidly absorbed
in Texas and elsewhere. We are also
aware that Texas is the only state in
the Union where such lands can be
obtained in such large lots at such
rates, and that they will soon be off
the market. In fact, the sale just
consummated absorbs all the large
solid blocks in the market"
Further talk brought curious in
formation of great land purchases in
Texas as due from this latest over
topping exploit. Mr.. Clark himself
sold a tract of 100000 acres in that
state on the 26th of September, the
purchaser in this case being an En-
gish syndicate. Lefair, brother-in-
law of Mackey, the bonanza king,
lately made purchase of 100000
acres in Texas, one of the most nota-
bic was that of 100000 acres to
Franklin, who paid for the land $1.75
per acre, or $1,225, 900 for the tract.
Large purchases of from 10000 to
$4,000 acres have been ofcommon &C.
currence in Texas, these being made
chiefly by wealthy cattle men, who
realize that henceforth they must own
the lands upon which their herds now
Craze, or else go out of the business.
There is large and increasing de-
mand for blocks of one. two or
more townships, and these, when
purchased, are usually enclosed by
wire fence. Hon. E. r. Lane recently
purchased of the New York & Texas
Land company tract of $4,000 acres,
at an average price of 1925 per
acre, to be so enclosed and to be used
as large sheep ranch.

Cotton Movement in January.
New Orleans Picayune.

The movement of cotton to the sea-
board during January was on an ascend
ing scale over the figures Of last year.
The total amount counted at tide water
exceeded that of the corresponding Pc
Rod of 1882 by 226, 500 bales, bringin g
the total excess for the expired portion
of the commercial year to 551 BIG bales,
and going more than quarter of a mil.
lion of bales over the figures of the
great crop year of 1980-8I. At this
port receipts have been much larger
than anticipated, and have more than
doubled the movement ofJanuary 1882.
Though the net figures at the close of
December were only 10000 bales ahead
of the previous season, the increase on
Wednesday had grown to 6l,400.
While the inward movement from
the Mississippi river and lower tribu-
taries is yet 81, GOO bales short of last
year. there was comparative gain dur
ing January from this source of $4,000,
the receipts being S6,627, against co..
500 bales. Notwithstanding the open
ing of the Texas and Pacific railroad
through the Red river country, and the
96,792 bales brought in by this line, the
steamboats, from that tributary have
landed here III, 931 bales, against &c.
514 last season. We have therefore
haudled from the Red river valley and
upper Texas 133,024 bales, compared
with Sc, 514 last season. It is a notica-
BILE feature that the three railroads that
bring cotton direct from points of pro-
duction have landed here this season
sos, 1926 bales of the stapl". against 646,-
496 by boats.

Patent Inside" or Ready-Print News
papers.
Texas Siftings.

1t seems to be the custom among a
certain class of newspapers to poke
nun at the papers that use what are
technically called patent insides. A
patent inside is that part of a paper
edited and printed in some large city,
and furnished weekly to country edi-
,~rS, who print their own editorials,
local news, and advertisements on the
other side. The editor who does not
use the patent inside often refers to
the editor who does, as Our cotem-
pEOOI I with the stereotyped bowels,
The paper with the patent intes-
unes, ETC., ETC.; and when he makes
some scathing remark of that kind, he
leels that it evidences his superiority
