LAREDO LETTER.

The Proceeds Of a Bull Fight Given to n
Catholic Church.
Special Correspondence of the Evening Light
LAREDO, January 23.-For the first time in
several days the international train arrived at
the hour advertised. Saturday we got no San
Antonio mail, neither papers or letters.
The sun has been shining several days, to the
great delight of our hot-booded citizens. 1t is
amusing to see the natives get on the side of Il
house that old Sol throws his heat against.
Some little talk has been done on the street in
regard to the death of Colonel Coolbaugh, the
acquittal of Ben Thompson and the slow
progress of the International and Great
Northern railroad bridge.
This morning the mother-in-law of Mr..
Thomas Lang was buried. She was an old resi-
dent of Laredo. Her remains were followed to
their resting place by II large concOurse of
friends and relatives.
A gOodly number of our business men speak
of elnigrating to Cotua La Sale county, to go
into business.
The principal visitors to our town at present
are stock men, but once in a while a prominent
miner or railrOader can be seen on the street.
Yesterday, in New Laredo, the young men
of the town concluded to fight the bulls. The
fight drew large crowd. The proceeds of the
entertainment go to the benefit of the Catholic
church.
Several horses and other property were sold
in front OF the custom house. They were cap
tured from the smugglers.
A young man was buried yesterday i'm the
New Laredo graveyard. He died at DR.. Will
lamsOn's infirmary. He was too far gone when
he was brought to the doctor to be saved. His
name was John Brandon, and he was from
Colorado county. A great many persons that
die in Mexico would, be brought to the Texas
side for burial, if it was not for the heavy ex-
pense-SlOO to bury dead body from Mexico
to Texas.
i noticed our pleasant looking postmaster,
10 at nf nj iS
ing he has the ceanest looking Office and is the
neatest looking man in Southwestern Texas
Some postmasterS ought to come down and
take Il look in order To pattern after him.

PeddIer Boy and Railroad Prince.

A young man who was an itinerant peddler
of silverware and trinkets, first with a
small handbag, then with horse and cart,
used to make headquarters at Oneonta, New
York. He had little capital save keenness,
frugality. and indomitable pluck and perse-
verance. Afterward he made venture in the
hardware business, and finally the California
fever OF I849 carried the young man of "a or
IS, with many others from the village, to the
Pacific coast. He is now the owner of mil
lions of dollars worth of property. The
youthful peddler of Oneonta was c. p. Hunt.
ington. now the manager of the Huntington
railway system.

THE PRESIDENTS MASH.

Correspondents at Washington state that
President Arthur, following the example Of
the "illustrious" Freddie Gebhardt, has made
an English 'mash." The lady who has
touched the susceptible heart of the President
is Miss Sackville-West, a relative of the Hon.
Lionel Sackville-West, the British Ambassa-
dor to the United States. What Miss Sack
ville-Wests relationship is to the English
minister is not quite clear. The dispatches
state she is a sister of the Hon. Lionel Sack
ville-West but, strange to say, "Forster's Peer
age" one of the best works upon English
aristocracy, describes Mr.. Sackville-West as
being the fifth son of George, 5th Earl De La
War;, and brother and heir presumptive of
Mortimer, Baron Sackville, of Knole, gives
the date of his birth, but omits to state that he
is married and has a family. Whoever she
may be Miss Sackville- West is described as a
handsome and accomplished lady. The
blood of the noble families De La War;,
Yves. and Dorset is said to flow in her veins,
and as she has large income, she may be
considered IN every respect a match for even
Arthur the Aristocrat.

Congress-.

The District Attorney of Utah explained to
the House Judiciary committee the necessity
of the law provided for by the Edmunds bill
to compel the first wife to testify in order to
prove facts in cases of plurality of wives. He
said that without this the conviction of
offenders and the correction of the evil of
bigamy was almost impossible.
Congressman Butterworth, Of Ohio, intro
duced bill providing tor the appointment of
commissioners to investigate questions relat-
lag to the establishment of a just interest OF
transportation tariff for passengers and freight
by railroad or other modes of transportation.
Referred.
A naval board is to be appointed by the
President to decide which of the navy yards is
best adapted to the requirements of govern
ment foundry for the manufacture of guns
adapted to modern warfare.
The appropriation of $Ioo. ooo for the pur-
chase and manufacture Of anti Mobile tor
pedoes having been reached, Harris, of Mas
sachusetts, offered the amendment that they
should be of American manufacture.

The Difference In Men.

One man has every thing that is necessary to
success in business; he has capital at his com
mand, influential friends, wealthy relatives
ever ready to endorse his perhaps
steps into an established bushes, ana yet In
short time he fails. Another has none of these
advantages and yet i'm short time builds up a
large and extensive establishment. One of
these latter individuals is our enterprising
merchant, j NJ. Emerson When asked by us
30 what he attributed his success in business he
replied, that il was by fair and impartial deal
ing In all his business transactions; by advertiS
ing and giving the public just what he adyer-
tised, and by not asking too much for any arti-
Gle in his stock also by giving the customer any
advantage he might, by careful buying for
spot cash. In other words should IL little child
step in to buy he would deal as fairly as
though the highest and lOftiest person were
purchasing.
No doubt Mr. EmersOn's views are correct.

The Exclamation of a Fortunate Fellow i'm
Coryell County.
A correspondent writes to the Bolton Jour
nal from Sugar Loaf, Coyell county, that
young man, after popping the question, ''went
to Gainesville, got marriagesicense, and
returned to Sugar Loaf, when TO his great sur
prise he learned that his gal had eloped with
another fellow, who also went to Gainesville,
with the girl, for the purpose of getting mar
ried, but was informed by the clerk that he
was too late as the other fellow had already
got license to marry the same girl. He
remarked TO the clerk as he turned TO leave !:
"That's all right; he's got the license and Eve
gothic gal" She smiled and took his arm,
and they went their way rejoicing, and have
not been heard Of since.
"Another young man by the name of Henry
Crow, in the same neighborhood. was engaged
to marry his cousin. The old folks opposed
it, and persuaded her to marry another fellow,
which she did, and after the wedding was over
and the guests were at supper, Crow stole out
the girl and skipped. was aiterward married to
her, and now lives in the Indian Nation"

Germans Have the Best Record.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
In regard to the share of different races in
the crimes and offenses in the city, it will
probably surprise many of our readers to learn
that the Germans, who are the most cornwall
of the foreign races in New York, show by
far the best record in the commitments for
intoxication, there being only S64 Germans
imprisoned for this offense, against 7.s77
Insh and SOLO American born. Their record,
too, for disorderly conduct is equally favor
able to the Germans, showing, contrary to the
popular impression, that the German social
habits are by no means unfavorable to tenn
perance and sobriety.

From the IlmeS-DcmOcrat.
WASHINGTON, January IS.-The Grant
Romero Mexican Commission treaty promises

ago commission was appointed to estimate
