the Sixth ward.
Mr.. Degenkolb in making the above
unique wager is following in the foot
steps of his father, as the extract below
shows:
an the fall of the year 1876 the friends
of Capt. B. Degenkolb, of 240 Columbia
street, being of both political parties, had
almost every evening great and animated
discussions about the good or bad quail
ties of their respective candidates for
president. Mr.. Josiah Burger, an engi-
neer of the tow boat Edward Amman, a con-
sistent republican and great admirer of
his party's candidate, made a bet with
Mr.. B. DegenkOlb that if Mr.. Ilden
should be elected president of the
United States he would, on Washing
tons birthday, climb and paint the nag
pole on the roof of Mr.. Degenkolb's house,
in token OF the bloody shirt, a red color,
and Mr.. Degenkolb agreed if Mr.. Hayes
would become president to paint the said
flag pole on st. Patrick's day green. Mr..
Hayes having been declared elected presl-
dent Mr.. Degenkolb paid his bet by
climbing and painting the flag pole on st.
Patrick's day, under very untavorable
circumstances, it blowing and showing
very hard. When this dangerous feat
was accomplished both parties TO the
former bet agreed again for the next
presidential election to paint the said pole
in the same manner and under the same
condition and, when Mr.. Garfield was de-
clared elected and sworn in as president,
Mr.. Degenklob again paid his bet by
climbing and painting the 22-foot
high flag pole over his house on
St. Patrick's day, March II, 1881, nice
red color, but, firmly believing that
some day his party might win in the pres
idepcy, Mr.. Degenkolb made the same bet
again with his republican antagonist, and
had the pleasure OF seeing Mr.. Burger, in
honor of Mr.. Cleveland's election, and in
the presence of big crowd of political
friends climb the same fsgpole and paint
it red on Washington's birthday, 1855.
The great sale of lots at New Birming-
ham, the new city one mile east from Rusk,
began Monday. Special trains arrived in
due time and landed quite concourse of
people. All the Texas towns, as well as
New York, Memphis, Chicago, Philadelphia
aud st. Louis we're we'll represented. The
sales were private, and purchasers, after
being driven over the site of the new city,
cane up quickly and made their purchases.
The company was kept busy registering
purchases AID executing deeds, so that by
o'clock p. m. the total sales in the city
of New Birmingham registered 100000.
The most skeptical now pronounce the
establishment of new town here a fact,
and all idea of its being a speculation is
dispelled. Sales will go on from day to
day. Contracts for new buildings are be-
ing given on every hand, and work on the
new improvements within the fire limits
are being rushed with all possible speed to
an early completion.

am not tickle, good old bed of mine;
am not changeful in my honest love;
Absent from thee, for thy embrace pine,
Warmer thy bosom than the brooding dove.
My heart is never cold old bed, to thee,
As oft thy snowy sheets have been to me.
What though linger when the night is new,
And loiter when the starry hours wane,
And midnight pauses ere come to you,
Throbs thy white breast with any counterpanei
Too oft am truant from the nest
Which oft my weary head with joy had pressed
But, when the rosy fingered hours Of dawn
Touch with prismatic colors all the sky
Oh, how love thee! When the night is gone
How sweet upon thy restful heart to lie,
And nap and doze and snooze till, peal on peal,
Rings the third bell for mornings CHEEKY meal.
All, then, how can leave thee, gracious bed9
Health, peace and quiet rest l find in thee;

The Waco Day Justly remarks: "Comp-
troller Mccall very properly rules that the
law still requires license from drummers
for Texas firms, notwithstandi the
United States supreme court decision that
drummers outside the state cannot be thus
taxed. The comptroller's view is, no
doubt, the correct legal view, although, as
he says, the law is very unjust to Texas
commerce and should be repealed. Texas
must not permit a law to remain on the
statute books which Discriminate against
her own commercial interests" Almost
the first act of the Twenty first Legislature
should be to repeal the law demanding
of drummers license tax. Texas legis-
latures believe in fair play, and such a
Law will be passed.

TIE INTERNATloNALs.

Is modern society, including the coun-
tries of Europe and the United States,
resting on volcano tina may at any time
burst forth into eruption? Such is the
import of an interview in the dispatches
this morning with Inspector Bonfeld, OF
Chicago. Ever since and before the Hay
market massacre he has had his detectives
watching the anarchists of that city.
Speaking of the demonstration on the an
niversary of the execution of Spies, Llngg
and their pals, Bonfield says the number
of the anarchists is greater and their or
eanizatiop better than ever before. That
the Chicago anarchists are only ole Sec
ton of the International society which ex
lists all over Europe and has its Ameri-
can headquarters at New YORK.
The avowed and infamous purposes
of the organization are tie destruction
of all law and order, the overthrow of
Christianity and existing institutions and
resolving society into its original chaos.
It is known as the commune IN france,
nihilism in Russia and anarchism in the
United States, but by whatever name
known It is the same dangerous and or
gained system of destruction. If, as
Bonheld asserts, the centennial of the fall
of the Bastile is the day fixed by the In
ternationsls for a general and concerted
uprising in the countries through which
the society ia scattered, it may be the part
of wisdom and prudence to watch the dy-
namiters and anarchists of our large
cities little more closely. And not only
watch, but destroy, while it is possible,
this vile, secret and dangerous enemy of
everything that is exalted and noble in
humanity.

TIE views of democrat in South Car
olina, published in yesterdays STATESMAN
on the political situation, are cratic, and
propose for the democrats of the south
to do the very same thing for which he
severely censures and criticises Hewitt
Grant and Tsmmsny-trade votes With
political enemies for patronage and plum
der. The people of the south once fol-
lowed one South Carolina idea to its
grave, and the lesson then learned will
never be unlearned. We do not want any
more sectional parties. If party cannot
be national in its principles and policies
if it is not broad enough and atriotic
enough to embrace every state and terri
tory, it should be buried so deep the hand
of the political resurrectionist could never
find it. If the South Carolinian referred
to has no higher conception of the mis-
sion and duty of a party than the distri-
button of "the loaves and hshes," he
ought to secede from democracy and
form little party of his own.
