The reporter for many years had been

aud exclaimed, "I4ook at il papa; why,
it can talk" The chiid's establishment
was excusable, for the tramp, who
was smothered in clothes of
uncertain colors looked more like
bundle of moving rags than anything

Important Ruling.

A few days since County Collector
Gillespie received from Comptroller
Swain, of Austin, instructions relative
to the sale OF home manufactured wine
under the present la " regulating sale of
liquors, which Is important TO vendors
Of this refreshing drink. The comp.
troller ssys,"That it has been uniformly
held by this department, that party
who manufactures wine from grapes
raised by himself, can sell the same in
uubroken packages, without payment
OF occupation tax, provided he does not
permit IL to be drank on his prem ses;
but If he sells the wine 10y the drink he
becomes liable for the tax levied on re-
tail liquor dealers" The instructions
are further TO the effect that II a party
makes wine from grapes purchased
from others, or makes wine from grapes
raised 10y himself aud placed in hands
OF others Tor see, in either event the
regular liquor dealers tax must be
paid. This stops the sale OF vino OF
every character uu less the enormous
sum 1880 state and county tax is paid,
with the single exception as shove
stated.

The cornice which fell on Lamar
street Friday morning, was on build
ing put up before the passage of an o.
dinsnce regulating the manner of build
ing brick or stone houses in this city,
and was put up according to the man
ner of doing such things In all new
railroad towns. The wall was ouly a
nine-inch wall on the top OF a two-stOry
house, and the timber skeleton upon
which the tin was tackled was Of slen
der Stats and batteus and not made a
component part of the roof, or anchored
with iron tie rods To anything.
Bad as this was, the evil was aug.
mentod 10y many wires, tele-
graph, telephone, and electric light
wires attached to the outer
edge of the projecting cornice, and tbeir
tension, aided by tho leverage OF the
projection, aud probably swayed by
every wind storm, loosened the slender
panel and brought on the accident
Now, that we are taught by experience
the danger TO be guarded against, ali
prOperty-oWners should AZ once see,
first, that their tin cOrnces are securely
fastened TO the roof and walls OF their
houses, and secondly, that all wires are
detached. And in the future no cor.
nice projecting from the wal, of house
should be allowed built unless made
a part of the wall and roof, and
covered with the same material as the
root. Honest builders know well enough
how to avoid such danger, and none but
shoddy contractors viii put up such
man trap.
