OLD ROUGH AND READY.

President Taylor was probably
the only President to whom the
presidency was an uncoveted and
unsought for boon. Mrs Taylor
was SO averse to public life that it
was said she prayed every night
during his candidacy for his defeat,
and when told of his election said :
awe are so happy here why do they
want to drag us to Washington p
Who that ever saw General Taylor
levee could forget him? He grasp
ed every new conner cordially by
the hand and saluted all, high and
low, old maids, brides, young girls
all with the words: "Glad to see
you, Glad to see you. Hows your
family. Hope the children are all
well?" He hardly ever opened his
mouth without making a mistake,
and people laughed heartily. Still
they loved him, trusted his judg-
ment, and knew his heart and hand
were true as steel, and when he died
the whole natien was a mourner at
his grave. When Maj. d. returned
from Europe he introduced him at
a dinner party as "My friend d.,
just from Berlin, Austria" During
his candidacy, Col. W., state cleo
tor Of, after discussing several
public topics, asked him what were
his views on the tariff. "The what,
Jack p said Gen. Taylor, who slut
tered dreadfully. "The tariff, Gen
eral," said Col. w. "Why, what's
that! 20 "It's sine qua non, said
Col. W., who was one of the great
est ways that lived, "that the people
are much excited about now" "a
sine qua n0n," said Gen. Taylor,

TWO DESPERADOEs.
KILL EACH OTHER IN A THEATER AND
MORTALITY WOUND ONE OF THEIR
FRIENDS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March r.
Ben Thompson and King Fisher are
lying side by side in the Vaudeville
Theater dead, both shot in the left
eye. Joe Foster, who attempted to
separate them, was shot in the leg,
and will probably die of hemmor-
rhage. The tragedy occurred about
11:30 o'clock p. m. Thompson and
Fisher had been drinking together,
and entered the theater in each
others company. They met Forster
in the dress circle, and some words
were exchanged, bringing about a
melee, during which Thompson and
Fisher were killed and Forster pro-
badly mertally wounded The cir
Gle was quickly cleared, the oecu-
pants jumping into the parquette
below and through the side windows
into the street. No one seemed to
know who fired the first shot or
how many were engaged in the
shooting. In very short time, and
before the theater was fairly cleared
of its occupants, 1900 people clam
cred at the closed doors for admit
tanee. A jury was hastily impanel-
ed, and ascertained that Thompson
received four wounds, all mortal;
Fisher three, two of which would
cause instant death. After the fir
ing Thompsons brother put in his
appearance but was promptly arrest
ed. The remains of the two victims
were taken charge of by host of
friends. Obsequies have been or
dered on the grandest sacle regard
less IF expense. The theater where
the affray occurred was the scene
last year ofthe killing by Thompson
of Jack Harris, then proprietor of
the place. Fisher and Thompson
were probably two of the most des-
perate and widely known men in
Texas, and have each killed fabu-
lous numbers of their fellow citizens.
