BEEvILLE, TEX, August %, 1889.
This location is beginning to attract
a good deal OF attention among the
tenant farmers of central and north
ern Texas, many of whom pay from
S. to S. per acre, or one fourth OF the
crop, for the use of land each year.
Committees representing the local al
liances have come down to inyestigate
and the result has been the purchase
of a number of small tracts in the vi
cipitv of Beeville. There is room in
the territory tributary to San Antonio
for a half million of such immigrants.
The land should be sold to them in
stead of being devoted to the profitless
propagation of the long-horn.
s4ieavy rains have fallen all over this
section again and fine crop of grass
is springing up and adds greatly to
the appearance of the country.

Antonio Tribune took in the city this

No trains have yet been put on be-

An Eaectual Extinyuisher.

The Listener has a venerable friend
who is very deaf, being able to hear con
versation only through a long flexible
tube with a trumpet at its extremity. This
old gentleman knows how to use his
silence compelling veto in a most graceful
way sometimes. Not long ago he did a
Young man q favor which was of immense
Value. The youth overwhelmed with
gratitude, visited his b~enefactor, and
seized the ear trumpet with emotion.
"Oh, Mr.. -" he exclaimed, II can
never''-
The old man removed the other end of
the tube from his ear. The youth found
himself talking to thin air. He went off
into a ridiculous pantomime of e%ntreaty,
all the while brandishing the unconnected
ear trumpet. The old man smiled.
There are times" he said, when it is
very convenient to be deaf"
The young man was obliged to go away
without having communicated TO his
benefactor a single word of thanks

Before he had half finished his story of
the broken engagement Stanley rose from
his seat, dropped his cigar and walked up
and down the room, rubbing his eyes with
his hands Just like an affected boy.
"By Jovei' he exclaimed, when the mar

Sporting Gossip.

Hudson county yachtsmeh found much
to interest them In thu vicinity OF the
Payonia Yacht Club s quarters on the
Communipaw shore of New York Bay
yesterday afternoon and last evening.
The chief question of interest in the
afternoon was whether or not the fast
sailing qualities OF the cat-rigged yacht
H. H. Holmes were superior to those of
her old-time rival, the Three Brothers.
The principal feature of the evenings
gathering was the jubilee held by Cap
tain A j. kreymeyer and his friends, be-
cause the second race between the craft
had demonstrf Jed the fact, indicated by
the result of the first race. that the FL. H.
Holmes was the better flyer of the two.
AS in the previous race, which the
Holmes won by five minutes. yesterdays
contest was exceedingly exciting through
out. At NO time were the craft fifty
seconds apart.
The course was about twenty nautical
miles long, the starting and finishing
points being off a stakeboat anchored near
Liberty Island. The turning points were
buoy Is. a stakeboat off Gravesend and
Fort Lafayette.
The signal to start vas given at two
O'Clock, and the craft at once got the
advantage of a strong breeze blowing
east northeast. The Three Brothers
skinned across the line ten seconds ahead
of the Holmes. While standing down
through the Narrows the Holmes over
hauled and passed the other yacht. She
turned Buoy Is fifty seconds ahead of
the Three Brothers, but soon fell away
somewhat.
On the way to GravesendFthe Three
Brothers gained twenty seconds. All the
way home the craft fought for every posi-
BILE advantage, and the Holmes again in
creased her lead. Captain Kreymeyer
was at her helm and Captain Charles
Slower was handling the other craft.
With the wind still blowing strong,
they neared the finish, the Holmes cross
ing it exactly fifty seconds ahead, her
actual time for the distance being 2 hours
aud 48 minutes. She gave the Three
Brothers five seconds time allowance.
The judges, Frank Oliver, Miles Con-
nelly and A. F. Adams, accompanied the
craft over the course in the big sloop
yacht, Phantom. After the finish F. w.
Rickerts, the stakeholder, handed over to
Captain Kreymeyer a check for $3.50, the
amount wagered by each skipper IN the
result of the series.

the new picture; but mainly, no doubt, to
look at tho artist. She, too, like Janot
before her, observed a change in the per
sonages Of the littlo drama. She had
never known that her likeness had been
oblitcrated. and she did not discover ii
now, for it had been restored in all its
beauty. But in the face of one Of the
principal female figures, q face which,
though not absolutely handsome, was
sublime with an expression Of noble and
tcnder rcsigaation-in this face, which
looked up to heaven as if it had descended
from thither, Nellie recognized the coun
tenGico Of Janet Holcum.

The picture having been sold to Moi
neau for the large sun Of 97150, it was de-
cided that Ernss's prospects of success
were good enough to Justify marriage,
and Janet ruled that Nellie must go home
for that purpose to the residence of an
old aunt in. Connecticut.
The girl having departed, Janet felt
able to have one interview with Hartmann,
not with the object Of indulging in any
weak ~reproaches or ~bemoanings, but to
bid him a last farewell. She was going
to Ceylon, she informed him, as English
teacher in one Of the schools of the
American Board of Foreign Missions.
