The ChatauQua.

Wednesday was red-letter day in the
alphabet of bright days which the
Chatsuqua has provided for San Marcos.
Those who climbed the hill TO the taber-
nacle in the morning found themselves
literally and fgura'iyely on the heights in
listening to Professor Cummings inter

Visitors for the day spent an hour or
two in the afternoon beating on tbs won
dvrful San Marcos river, and looking down
through the clear depths of the water,
where an enchanted world, q 7eritable
wonderland, NIT the view. Beautiful
forests, banks of green moses, and fairy
like gardens, all in vi-rd, rich bloom are
Just below the surface, and one might
easily imagine golden-haired mermsids
lurking in TIE cool shadows or peeping
from behind some aquatic greenwood.
Al O'Clock the generous cit!zeLs of the
village provided carriages for the visiting
teachers and q merry procession was
driven through the streets Of the PRETTY
little city sud the cool coun ~ lanes ad-
jscent.
The concert in the tabernacle at night.

Georgetown, with her charming person
slity and cultivated voice, csptivsted the
audience, and Mr.. Will Stacy, of Austin,
sang some Of MS best pieces.
After the concert the faculty of the
Normal institute received the student-

were thropged with happy people far into
the night.

Freight Difficulties.

The Texas stockmeu, and for that mat
ter stockmen and meat men everywhere,
are having a world of trouble over freight
rates, bee luse OF their very uncertainty,
the railroads cheerfuly gouging into each
other. The Railroad Gazette, speaking of
the difficulty, says:
The situation in meat rates jlst now
rather reminds one of trick played by
Commodore Vanderbilt some fifteen years
ago. At that time rate wars were q more
reckless business than they are at present.
and in the course OF events the Erie once
brought its live stock rates down to dol
lar carload. But the old commodore
hsd agents of his own in Chicago who
quietly made extensive contracts for ship
ments at that rate. When everything
had been made secure on this side, he
res tored his own rates to paying figure,
aud did whatever business came
into his hands by shipping over
the Erie at dollar a carload,
This state of affairs lasted some time,
to the great delight of the commodore,
and the intense disgust of the Erie people.
These latter might make such rates as
they pleased, but 1t would have required
very sharp figuring to name rate which
would give them any profit on the trans
action. 1t is not in railrosding alone that
such things happen. A hardware mer-
chant, in an active war Of prices few
years ago, finding that rates were five
cents below cost, bought a large stock
of his opponents goods and cut rates one
cent more. His opponent met the cut.
The merchant first named bought another
supply at the reduced rate and cut again,
And SO it went on, one man being certain
of one, or, at most, two cents, and having
fun enough to pay for it, while the other
was increasing his losses in rapid progre:'
sion. Such are th- beauties of really
active competition.

State Immigration Matters.

Immigration headquarters in this city
is sending out scores of circulars TO the
various families and colonies with whom
Texas contracts have been made, telling
them that low one-way emigrant rate
will be available at an early date, of which
they will be duly advised. On all this
Texas Is depending on the Traffic and
Rate association, now holding its session
in New York. Colonel Chiffon is lavish in
his praise of the efforts OF all Texas roads
to make the immigration movement a
success. He says that while it is known
that there could not be tickets bought
from all the states of the union to Texas
points during the past spring, it was not
attributable to any failure OF effort or
entreaty on the part of our Texas roads

Ounce jelly is easily made from the

their connections in the other states would
not reciprocate. Particularly has the
Missouri Pacific, II luston and Texas
Cen raj, and, in fact, all the main lines in
Texas worked hard to carry out their
