A STATESMAN reporter called at immi-
grafton headquarters yesterday, and found
Secretary Chiffon buckling down to hard
work, with groundswell setting in from

Lone Star state.
The correspondence is now very hsavy

MI. Chiffon has arranged for the publ

that if any county in any defaulting dis

share of such district assessment &C.
cording to population by the census O

all the benefits of the State immigration
association.
Resolved, also, That 500 from each dis
trict, as first original assessment, has
already been called, and must be pai(
within sixty days from this date"

TERSE POINTERS.
For the Great Drill Management
The Stock Association.

In conversation yesterday with Gen
eral Stoddard, president of the Texas Live
Stock association, he informed the re-
porter that owing to the executive COM
mittee not having quorum an adjourn
menHwas had until March. 13,when the COM
mittee will convene in Gainesville. Then
the propositions of Fort Worth and
Galveston to establish a refrigerator
packery will be considered, and creden-
tials issued to such stockmen as
mny wish to go to Denver
to attend the international range con-
vention. Stockmen who wish to attend,
and who cannot go to Gainesville, should
write to that place for their credentials.
The general is very hopeful, and antici-
pates brighter future for the Texas
stockmen.
During the talk the general said he was
"heart and soul in the great drill"
"Then you think we will have a big
crowd?"
eyes, sir; I expect to see here from
10000 to $4,000 people, and l fear you
are going to have trouble to take care of
Them"
,, mo fear of that. The drill manage
ment are going to make ample provision
for all who attend"
eyes, 1 know they think SO. The peo-
pie of Atlanta thought so too. 1 was
there when President Cleveland made his
visit, and never in all my life did see
such throng of people. The hotels, the
boarding houses, and the private houses,
we're filled to overlooking, and at night
the churches we're thrown open and hun
dreds of men, women, and children slept
on the seats, and still hundreds remained
out doars all night. 1 am sure you are
going to have the largest gathering of
people here during the drill ever as
sembled together in this state, and your
people must go to work and make every
preparation to accommodate Them"

A Distinguished Visitor.

Very Rev. W. Corby, G. s. c., provincial
OK the congregation of the Holy Gross,
who is now visiting Texas from the north,
is spending few days at st. Edwards
college, in the suburbs of Austin. The
reverend gentleman finds the balmy eli
mate of Texas contrasting strangely with
that of Northern Indiana, where the mer-
curry marked 20 dogs. below zero when he
started for the south, few days ago.
Ana not the less favorably does it con-
trast he thinks, with the damp, foggy
climate of New Orleans, in nearly the
same latitude as Austin. Very Reverend
Father Corby thinks our CITY exception
ally we'll located from sanitary point of
view, and that the hills around Austin, on
the south side of the river especially,
possesses very rare, natural advantages.
Our visitor is gentleman of culture and
wide influence, and will no doubt give a
very favorable account of Austin to his
many friends in the north.

LOVE TRIUMPHANT.
The Truant Bride IS Happily
Mated.

Yesterday morning The STATESMAN con-
tanned an account of truant bride who
mysteriously disappeared just as every
thing was ready for pronouncipg the ban

she had boarded the northbound train and
returned to her home and kindred. But
it was a mistake; her love held her with
hooks of steel, and she simply changed
her boarding house, and yesterday morn.
ing her lover discovered her whereabouts
and gained her consent to let the cere-
mony proceed.
The minister, who had so patiently

A PRODIGY.
A Marvel IN the World of the
Marvellous.
A Wonderfully Endowed Boy, Over
Whom There is a Wrangle.

There is little blind oolored boy in
this city who is marvel in the world of
the marvellous.
But little over two and half years
old, he has natural endOwments, truly
wonderful and incomprehensible.
| For instance, if you ask
him how many minutes or
seconds there are in twenty four hours he
will tell you in a moment.
If you sing a song he will Immediately
repeat it, and will do so at any time after,
if requested.
Sing difficult operate piece in his
| presence two or three times and he will
repeat it with wonderful accuracy, imi-
tating the rise, fall and tone of voice.
AS yet his musical ability has not been
tested, as he is too young, but it is be-
iieved he is going to excel Blind Tom,
for, like Tom, when he hears musical
instrument his hands begin to move and
fingers to twirl as if eager to get hold of
the instrument.
He never forgets tuna and nothing
told him ever escapes his memory. Take
him into crowd and let him feel each
PERSONS hand and clothing and then tell
him the name of the person, and he can
go through the crowd any time after, and
feeling of each person, again call his
name. His memory retains eve 'ything
told him, names, dates and places.
He was born in Waco,where his parents
reside, and where he has been on public
exhibition under man named Henry
Warren.
He is now in this city,
as stated, in the care of Mr.. William
Thaison, the we'll known contractor and
inventor of a brick machine. Mr.. Thaison
saw the boy in Waco, and, impressed with
his wonderful powers, made arrange
ments with his parents to take charge OF
and have him trained and educated for
the purpose of public exhibition. This
agreement is drawn up in writing, and
Saturday last the father of the child, &C.
companied by his daughter, reached here
and placed the boy In charge of Mr.
Thaison, who has him and his sister, who
remains with her brother, comfortably
quartered.
This agreement, however, is any
thing but satisfactory to Mr.
Henry Warren, who was exhibiting
the boy in Waco, and he
and he has instituted proceedings against
Mr.. Thaison to recover him, under some
sort of an agreement made some time age
with his parents.
The papers we're served on Mr.. Thaison
yesterday, and he will go to Waco, where
the case will be tried.
The little chap, in addition TO his re-
markable gifts, is very bright and in
telli9ent boy, and has taken great fancy
to Mr.. Thaison, who intends to take great
care in his training and education.

and with wilted, detected looks and
CHASTITY smiles they held more than one
consolation meeting, and in deep, gloomy
gutturals solemnly swore they would never
be caught in such plight as they found
themselves the night before.
"The whole thing will be in the paper
tomorrow morning." feebly suggested
one, as the others groaned.
81 wish l owned whole drug store,
moaned another; "Td swallow all the pizen
in it and be done with it."
Then they all groaned some more, and
their agony was great, indeed.
81 wish the fool killer would come along
mnttered yet snother; 81 would be a
willing sacrifice"
"What if our girls hear of ?" frantic
ally urged one; and then they chung
to each other and wept, and again solemn
ly averred that they would never do SO
again.
And then an officer appeared and noti-
fed them that they were witnesses, and
must appear in court on day in the very
near future, and there's where the shoe
pinches.

Stock Notes.

The horse market has been quite active
for several days, and there has been a
good demand for saddle and harness
horses.
Friday, Captain Brown, of the Patter-
son stable, sold his fine combination geld
ing, Dave, for $3.50, and it is believed that
a few more just like him would bring the
same price.
Mr.. Goforth, of Hays county, Thurs
day, sold a fine bunch of three year olds
to Mr.. Hornsby, who will feed them until
June and then place them on the market.
Captain Peery, of Llano county, sold
some very fine cows and good ponies.
