ONE MORE CHANCE.


From reliable sources we learn that
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass Rail-
road company are considering the FEAST
bility of branch line of road to Pleasan-
ton. to tap the main trunk at or near the
Calaveras creek, about 10 miles distant
from this place and 81 miles from San
Antonio. Colonel Sidney Mead, of Flo
resville, is, we are told, a prominent
factor In this movement, and Is doing his
utmost to carry 1t forward to success
full termination, promising. in the event
that the road is put under contract, to
build and donate to the railroad compa-
ny a bridge over the San Antonio L liver
at the point named, the only
bridge OF any consequence that
would be required along the route.
Fifty thousand, and possibly $50, 200, to-
gether with right-of-way and depot
grounds, will be about what the COM
pany will demand OF Pleasanton and
the people living along the route, and
this demand we can well afford to meet
ut very short notice. This matter has
been discussed by private parties with
but little manifest interest, but now
that IL begins to assume tangible form
1t behooves our people to keep their
eyes open to the main, and doubtless
last, chance that will ever offer for them
TO secure n railroad. AS the matter as
sumes definite shape we shall keep the
reader posted, and win occasionally re-
fer TO the advantages to be derived from
this important enterprise.--Pleasanton

THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION.
General Garcia Inaugurated and Danger
Over for the Present.

Information has reached here that on
last Monday, Tuesday aud Wednesday
there were squally times In Monterey.
General Genaro Cara Garcia was the
peoples candidate and General Cara
the Government candidate, nc a recent
election for Governor. The former un-
doubtedly received the majority ofvotcs,
but as II has been not unfrcquenily the
case In Mexico 1t was expected the
Government candidate would be de-
clared elected and put In by military
force. This has been the case In numer-
Gus instances, and where the people
would not submit military provisional
Governor was appointed, rs 1t was now
the case OF COahuila. The people Of
Nueva Leon had very good reasons 90
feel apprehensive of their freedom as a
State under the circumstances. But the
Inauguration took place on the 10Th, and
passed of quietly, although there was
much excitement. IL Ia said that the
streets were filled with armed men,
every citizen feeling It incumbent upon
him to be prepared to defend his rights.
Some 10000 soldiers from the capital and
and railroad train was known to be
ready to convey them to Monterey, hut
the people OF Nuevo Leon were deter
mined to guard their liberty ut the cost
Of their lives, and the Federal govern
ment undoubtedly prudenily concluded
that discretion was the better part OF
valor,r and decided to allow that State
TO retain lite independence by inaugu-
rating Its own Governor. This decides
the matter for the present, ut least as far
us Nueyo Leon Is concerned and the
troops undoubtedly will remain In the
State Of Coahulla until the election In
that State is held.
The government candidate Ia Galan,
while the opposition Is Falcon. The nd
berents Of the latter threaten dire things
unless their man is put in, but the pres
enoe Of the 10000 soldiers places the re-
suit beyond doubt. Strictly speaking,
the cases of Nuevo Leon aud COahuiln
are not analogous ms Garcia was un-
doubleday peaceably elected by u large
majority, and Is n man that enjoys the
respect and confidence OF all classes as "a
competent, upright man, while Falcon
Is the leader of n section, rather than u
party, and does not bear the reputation
II much experience In State craft. BY
many intelligent and well-disposed per-
sons, he is considered a dangerous man,
the leader of an ignorant rabble, and
inimical to the material progression Of
the State.

started out the following;

Year, to the department to beg him off
from his orders to China. Whitney
said to him:

"You talk about dogs" said the
Judge, "you talk about dogs-I can
tell you the funniest story about a
dog"
'Did you know the dog?" asked the
doctor.
~ did"
"Was it a terrier, or a pointer, or a
bull-dog?"
cit was a Dandie Dinmont."
"Good," said the doctor, "they're a
very truthful breed"
''This dog belonged to a friend Of
mine, who used always to take him
out with him.
ga bad habit" put in the doctor;
"you should never let a dog know too
much"
"The dog used to wait outside for
him when he went in to call on a
friend. One night they were very
merry party and they kept it up late.
My friend got very drunk The dog
finally got restless and began to howl.
A champagne bottle just passed his
nose and he smelt it and shut UP.
About o'clock in the morning nv
friend came out. He said good night,
shut the door, walked in by the gar
den gate all over the fower-beds, and
finally, unable to get out, he lay down
on a rosebush and went to sleep. The
dog watched by him till the milkman
came along in themorning, picked him
up and took him home"
''That's nothing" said the doctor.
''You just wait a minute. Two or
three nights later he went and called
on his friend again and took the dog
with him. The dog waited outside a
little while and began to howl. An
other champagne bottle was thrown
at him. He smelt it, winked to him
self, and trotted off, He went home,
scratched at the door till the servant
girl opened it, attracted my friends
wife's attention, made her follow him
to a pile of pianks, and whined till
they got out very long and broad
one. Then he directed them to where
his master was, and when the door
bell rang and the door opened the rev.
elers found the dog, my friends wife,
the servant, and a stretcher. That
dog knew what was needed, you bet."
