A Ruthless Destroyer.

Narciso Gonzales hard working and
respectable Mexican, complained yester-
day afternoon at police station that
disreputable character, Juan Yvarro,
had been visiting his house and had Sc
duoed his wife, and that yesterday
morning he had drawn pistol on him
IN his own house, and had threatened
to kill him because he objected to him
calling to see his wife. Yvarro was ar
rested and was tried on the charges OF
carrying and drawing pistol. The wife
OF Gonzales was In court with very
young child In her arms and testified
against her husband and in favor of her
lover, who Is villainous looking fellow
with shock OF hair that looks like II
had never known comb. As soon as
the child saw its father 1t began to cry
loudly to be taken to him, and this Incl
dent seemed to move the City Attorney
and the court to sympathy for the
wronged husband. The City Attorney
gave the erring wife sound piece of adj
vice, telling her to go back to her hus-
band with her child, and to "let that no.
account fellow, Yvarro, alone, MS he
would get her into trouble" The court
gave Yvarro sound chunk OF advice
also, by imposing a fine Of $50 upon him.

If they do, they may rely upon decisive

Cinco de Mayo.

Editor San Antonio Light
The native pastor OF our Mexican
congregation in this city, understand
ing that you say there was no celebra-
tion OF Cinco de Mayo by the Mexicans
OF San Antonio this year, wishes to cor
rect your mistake by the following COM
munioation, which translate for you:
A. H.. S.
ON the fifth OF the month various
members and friends Of our Mexican
Evangelical congregation had the pleas
ure OF reunion In one OF those beauti-
full spots which adorn the suburbs of
this city for the purpose ofcommemorat-
ing the anniversary OF the second inde-
pendence OF Mexico, obtained by the
triumph of our arms the 9th Of May
1862. The order observed was as fol
lows: "Knowing that all events for the
good OF the nations are ordered by the
hand Of the Creator, our first act was to
sing hymns Of praise for his goodness,
and in prayer give Him thanks for the lib
erty which that nation enjoys, beseech-
ing Him to make 1t still more perfect.
Then followed q discourse by the writer,
which was greeted by chorus OF young
ladies singing the Mexican National
Hymn. Various other persons present
made speeches expressive OF their best
wishes for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of that
nation.
The Rev. A. ii. Sutherland spoke
also in manifestation Of his satisfaction
in hearing such patriotic sentiments
expressed with so much ardor, and yet
good order and propriety. He united
his sympathies with ours, and after a
moving discourse, offered prayer to
God for the liberty and success OF the
Mexican Republic.
Joy reigned in all hearts, and late In
the afternoon we returned home full of
bright antlcipatlons for Mexico.
Yours very respectfully,
MANUEL TRKvINo.

A Loyal People.

AS every unprejudiced observer is
aware, the manner in which General
Grants sentiments of goodwill were
received and reciprocated in the South
signifies much more than personal sym.
pathy with brave, chivalric, and suf-
fering foe. The South believes no
longer in slavery. no longer IN seces-
sion. Some ex-rebels said not long ago:
1--WE are glad we were whipped, and
we are in to stay! Now let us see Mas
sachusetts try to get out of the Union!'
One of the leading men OF the South
lately told, in private conversation. a
significant incident He was complain
ing, he said, to one of the officials OF
his own State that the official salaries
given were not large enough to attract
ambitious young men powerfully and
permanently to the State Government;
that their bright youths would be look
ing rather to the General Government
for career, and would perhaps thereby
lose the feeling of superior loyalty to
their own individual State. ''Well.
why notp" was the officials reply.
1--WE have given up all that idea; why
should we want to cultivate State rather
than National loyaltyp' This incident
and similar ones give color of reason to
the theory, held by one of the most public
spirited of Northern Republicans, that
the turning of the intense Southern
loyalty of patriotism from the various
State Governments to the National
and flag may yet make the
South the most enthusiastically loyal
section OF the whole country. Century.

CHAPTER XXI.
JOHN PARSONS GIVES ERAsTUs A HINT.

JOHN PARSONS GIVES ERAsTUs A HINT.
When the spring came, the leve
ground about the shanty on the mount
tain side had been broken and sowed in
grain, or planted with vegetables; the
sloping ground above set in grape vines,
and a hundred added fruit trees were
putting forth their buds and giving
promise of the future.
John Parsons was not so young and
spry as formerly, but he was still in
good health, and work was his only
escape from thought. Every day when
the rain was anything less than reg.
ular downpour, he was to be seen al
work somewhere about the premises.
and Mrs. Parsons and Lucy lent ready
assistance.
They made few acquaintances il
their new home. There was no ne OH
Dor nearer than two miles away,
and not more than a score of families
within circle easily reached for a days
visit, and of these a number were for.
eigners, who, being unable to speak the
language, did not mingle with thei,
American neighbors.
Occasionally couple of women from
some of the little ranches upon the other
side of the mountain would come 10
spend the day at the shanty, but not
often; and, although pleased to have
them come, Mrs Parsons and Lucy did
not always return their visits. This was
not because they did not feel kindly
towards their neighbors, but because
they felt little inclination to go from
home, and because they were busy,
whenever the weather would admit
of it, in helping to get the place in
shape to produce living for the family.
And so the spring and summer passed.
and fall came again.
They now had an abundance of vege-
tables; the two cows which they had
brought from the old place, and which
found pasturage in the hollows of the
hills, supplied them with an abundance
of milk and butter, and even with q
small surplus to sell; and this, with the
chickens and turkeys that thrived so
finely and wandered at will up the
mountain side and down the gorge at
the foot of the level field, kept them
supplied with groceries.
Of clothing they had good supply
when they came. and were not obliged
to purchase, either for garments or
bedding, for some time to come, and so
did not suffer for anything except from
a sense of their losses and wrongs, and
for the want of companionship.
They heard from Jennie and her hus-
band every few weeks. Ensign had
been given the place promised him.
They were living in the outskirts of the
city, in little cottage which they had
bought on monthly payments, and were
comfortable and happy, as young mar
ried folks who are blessed with good
health and plenty of faith in each 0thet
and the future always are.
