The statue of Margaret Haughery,
the first monument ever raised in
the United States to a woman, was
unveiled last week in New Orleans
in the presence of an immence audi
ence, including hundreds of orphans
from the asylum Of the city. Mar
garet Haughery was an unlettered
Christian woman, who by her energy
and industry amassed a com petence.
Although a devout and fervent
Catholic, she knew no creed and re-
cognized no faith in the dispensation
of her benevolence. Although she
responded to all worthy calls for
assistance, she bestowed most of her
bounty on the orphans, and when
she died she was known as the Or
phans' friend. The statue repres-

her hand rests upon the child, who

Washington, 8: Miss Hattie Smell,
a little girl of thirteen years, living
at Johnsonville, n. Y, where the
Episcopal society were trying to
raise money to build new church,
conceived the plan of sending to the
statesmen at Washington to secure
aid. She wrote letters to nearly
everybody whose names appear in
the congressional directory, asking
each to contribute few bricks. Her
plan was so novel that the responses
were very large, and among the con-
tributors were President Arthur, all
the members of the cabinet, General
Sheridan, Vice President Edmunds,
Speaker Carlisle, many of the senat-
ors and a large number of congress
men. Now she proposes to sell the
autographs which accompanied the
contribution.

MEssRs. JONAS & DALTON:
Yonr communication of the Goth
inst, asking me to furnish you for
publication brief statement of the
U. S, Revenue law in relation to the
distillation of fruit, received and
considered In the first place, |
will say, in reply to your letter, that
the best thing person can do ii he
expects to manufacture fruit brady,
is to see the Deputy Revenue Collec-
tor of his division, who can, if he
understands his business, fix up the
papers and so explain things to him
in two hours time, that it would be
next to impossible to have any
trouble. will now proceed to an,
swer your question.
Ist. The amount of brandy that
can be made at the distillery in twen-
ty four hours must be estimated, ,and
the dstiller must keep the time act
ually run, and at the end of the sea-
son, we estimate the amount of
brandy he should have on hand by
the number OF hours actually in oper,
alton.
I'd The oistiller must give a
good bond in o sufficient amount to
cover the tax that would probably
be due from him at the end of the
season.
3rd At the end of each month
the distiller must make sworn re-
port on q blank form furnish ed by
us, of all the material used, from
whom purchased or received, num-
Der of gallons OF brandy distilled, &c.

brandy is guaged and the distiller
pays ninety cents per gallon on what
he has manufactured, which is all he
has to pay the government.

along the Mobile & Ohio r. R. south
as far as Meridian, Monroe and
Chickasaw inclusive, The counties
of Winston Choctaw, ,Leake, Scott and
Newton, are in my division also.
Should any person within this terri.
tory wish to engage in the distilla>
tion OF brandy from any kind of fruit,
it would be my duty, on receiving
notice OF the fact, to proceed to his
place of business, survey his distillery
and fix up all the papers appertain-
ing to the same; also give all neces.
sary instructions. According to our
estimate Sky gallon still will
make about eight gallons of brandy
in twenty four hours, constant run
ming.
Should there be any thing further
that you wish to know in relation to
the matter, write me and | will fur
nish it with pleasure.
Respectfully,

EDITORIAL MATTER
EIectOr for the First District.


AT meeting OF the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, at Jack
son, on Wednesday, July Both, Mr..
w. b. Walker, of Aberdeen, was
elected as Elector for this the First
Congressional District, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation
of Hon. J. A. Greene, to whom
the State Convention confided that
high trust and honor. Mr.. Walker
is we'll known to the members of the
present and last Legislatures, as well
as to many others throughout the
District and will require no introduc-
ton when he appears before the peo-
pie bearing the banner of Cleveland
and Hendricks. He is a gentleman
of vim and energy, an excellent
speaker, and good work may be ex-
pected of him during the campaign.

WHEN it was ascertained and re-
ported few days ago by Col. ]. L
Power that the fund for the support
of the Protestant Orphan Asylum at
Natchez was nearly exhausted, the
very first man to head a subscription
for its relief was the Catholic Bishop
of this dioces., Rt. Rev. DR.. Jansen.
Such acts as this do much to obliter
ate the prejudices that exist between
the various sects that seek salvation
at the hands of the God of all sects,
peoples and worlds.

The advantages in the use of DR.
Prices Special Favoring Extracts are
decided, as they are put in bottles OF full
measure; they are made from the true
fruits and aromatics, without poisonous
oils or ethers; they are three times the
strength of the ordinary kinds, and i'm
part a delicious favor, while others soor
have turpentiny taste and odor.

THE FOURTH DISTRICT.

The Democratic Convention of the
Fourth Congressional District which
assembled at Grenada, on Tuesday July
2Sth, after three days consumed in or,
ganizing and balloting, nominated our
distinguished former fellow citizen, Hon.
F. q. BARRY, OF Clay county, on the 134
ballot, to represent that District in the
next Congress. His competitors for
the nomination were the Hon. G. B.
Mitchell, of Pontotoc, and Hon. Clark
Lewis, OF Noxubee county, both of
whom are gentlemen worthy the high
est position in the gift of their District
Mr.. Barry is not at all unknown to the
people of the State, for he has taken O
most active part in every campaign since
the revolution of 1875, when he was
elected on what seemed to be a "forlorn
hope" to a seat in the State Senate from
the District composed of Lowndes,
Oktibbeha and Clay counties, and in that
body he made most enviable record.
He is n gentleman Of high standing and
ability in his profession, an eloquent
speaker and forcible debater, and has
ever been almost terror to The oppo>
nents of the Democratic party in politi-
cal campaigns. In his hands the DEM
ocratic banner of the Fourth District
will be carried triumphanlly to victory
and his constituents will have repre>
sentative to whom they can point with
as mnch pride as TO his immediate
predecessor, Capt. Fl. D. Money. We
congratulate the Fourth upon the nomi-
nation.

AN exchange commenting upon
the Democratic nominee speaks of
him as "a man without a record" "
The difference between him and
Blaine is that the latter has a" record"
That's what's the matter with him
that's what's killing him. If it had
not been for their "records," Jack
Sheppard and various other worthless
who fourished before scientific
roguery came into fashion, would
have died in their beds

various plazas. The population congre-
gated round these plaZas. and IL was
some time after the American occupa-
tion before the necessity to widen the
streets In the residence portion OF the
city became apparent.
The first street cars that ran In San
Antonio started on their journey July I,
1873, from San Pedro springs to Alamo
plaza. At this time there were but two
houses from the second switch, on Ro-
mana street, TO the San Pedro, and dur
ing rainy weather there was an appar-
emily bottomless morass.
MIR. Henry Gillum effected his first
real estate transfer along this road, and
purchasers of 20xj0-vara lots, for 500,
were numerous. To-day lot on this
avenue could be barely bought for $1,000,
and the streets running parallel with
the avenue would require n payment of
500 for lot of the same dimensions be-
fore transfer would be made.
In April, 1880, a new line was com
pleted to the Sunset depot, and what
was n remarkable coincidence and proof
Of the rapid strides San Antonio had
made In n few years, In February, 1881.
the same day that witnessed the arrival
of the first train on the international
and Great Northern railroad saw also
the street car that met 1t and transport
ed its passengers into the heart and out
skirts of the city. In lSS2 another line
was completed from the postotllce to the
Military plaza, and another to the Gov
eminent hill. Since then the line Of
travel has been considerably extended,
and the city Is now traversed In all d.
reCtions by the convenient street car.
The company operates nearly 20 miles
Of road, and no one can galnsay that San
Antonio owes to-day the greater por-
ton Of her present prosperous and
flourishing condition to Colonel August
Belknap, who, In spite of having many
difficulties to contend with, In the shape
of "mossbaokism,n narrow streets, ir-
Irregularities In the bend of the river and
other minor obstacles, has made the san
Antonio Street Railroad company an as
sured and enduring success. At first
the investment was far from n paying
one, but perseverance conquered, and
after three years struggle for existence
the road was placed on n paying basis,
in 1881. The Increase in travel during
the last five years has been 100 per
cent, and property along the line of
route has been enhanced 800 per cent.
Our city has a bright future before II
while the spirit Of men like Colonel Bel
KNAPP Is infused into 1t, and II Is the duty
| of every citizen who desires to keep san
Antonio on the highway of industry and
thrift to attract such men to our City OF
the Alamo.
