Two Monster Petitions to DO Astsd on by
OummfssIonerI' Court.
Correspondence Of the Gazette.
SrEPRENvILLE, Tex, Feb. 14.-Our
Commissioners court is IN session, and
among other things, it is wrestling with
two mon ter petitions, one for al cleo
ton on the hog law for the entire county,
and the other for an election on local op-
ton for the comfy. Rumor has l. both
petitions will be granted this week. the
petition for a1 election on the locsl op-
ton law has some 400 or 500 names TO Is.
This question and petition has troubled
the commissioners good desl.
o. the Oh OF December, 1856, 81 cleo
ton on local option was held in this
county in which local option wss carried
by something over 200 majority in the
county, th9 canvass Of the ballot WAS
made and the statutory proclamation
published as prescribed by Law, and in
February, 1887, local option WAS IA due
ami l. gal form declared in full force aud
eff2CS IN Erath county for one yesr. The
Twentieth L Legislature materially amended
the local option law as 1t existed
in December 1886, and February 1887,
and the QUESTION that troubles our CON-
missioneIs Is, can the Commissioners
court Of Etsth county legally order an
election now for 3 local option election,
ins.he face OF the rev Law? The court is
somewhat divided on the question as
everybody else is, but It il understood
that majority Ct Il are IN favor Of the
election now, and II is said it Will be SO
ordered.

The custom OF fiattening the heads by
pressure was about universal among the
Puget Sound Indians. 1t was done in in

beaten, pressed steadily on the forehead.
1t has been SO often described by numer-
Gus writers that no further description is
here necessary. School teachers here
have been unable to see any difference
besween the intellect of those whose heads
have thus been flattened and those which
are natural. Some of the Indians, how

Candy for philadelnhia.

Philadelphia claims to make and eat
more candy in proportion to population
than any other city in the country. There
are eighty-seven manufacturers and
wholesalers and 1000 retailers, and they
use more than 81 900, 600 of capital and
consume 100, 900 tons of sugar every year.
Caramels are great speciality of the trade
in that city. For other places much
chocolate and walnut candy and many
gum drops are made. Six tons of gum
drops were shipped from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg the week before Christmas.
Brooklyn makes the most chewing gum,
it is said, and Boston eats the most of it.

OUR NeleHBoR's PITY.

That day our little one lay dead,
And we were sad and sore OF heart,
And all the JOY OF life seemed fed,
Our neighbor sought TO ease the smart.
Oh! strange sweet power of sympathy.
That grief should find assuagement thusl
Our sorrow seemed the less to be,
The more we thought, she pities us,
And then she said. how blest was she,
Since God had still denied her prayer,
Nor set baby on her knee:
For such a gift meant such a carel
Our pain was stilled by sad surprise;
New feelings in our heart did stir,
We looked into our neighbor's eyes,
And pitied her-and pitied her.
