SAN MARCOS, Tex, July Is.


SAN MARCOS, Tex, July 10.
Softly fallsths golden sunshine over
our beautiful valley and river. On
the gorgeous, glorious SUD! How
we enjoy it, even though it is g
little too intense at midday for com.
plete satisfaction! But we have had toe
much clouds and rain this season, and SO
We now "rejoice and are exceeding glad
in the sunlight of heaven.
Our ChautAuqus goes gloriously on. In
spite of rain, in spite of the fact that the
directors of the Georgetown Chautauqua
are claiming that this has closed, it yet
moves on serenely and composedly, with
occasional great and joyous days to mark
an especially fair and happy epoch In its
history.
Such was "Alamo Day" when the
San Antonio delegation visited our great
pavilion on the heights, to hear that most
magnetic orator, Col. Seth Shepard. such
will be next Wednesday, the 17th inst,
when the famous Belknaps will be over
in full force with other distinguished San
Antonlans.
The programme for that day is a lecture
"The Worlds Reformers," at IL @. M, by
our elegant DR.. DuBose, the superinten-
dent of Chautauqua, who, like the sor-
ceress of old Nile, IS "full of infinite var
iety," and at $3.50 p. m. lecture by the
distinguished DR.. Black, of Miss, making
a fine and attractive programme for the
day.
Another big day for this week will be
"Lockhart Day." which is next Friday
the 18th, when our neighboring, friendly
little city of Lockhart proposes to come
over en- mssse, to take in Chautsuqua, and
enjoy boat rides on the famous San Mar
Goa river.
Yesterday the hill was free, as no
charges are made on Sunday, and large
crowd filed the pavilion at IL a. m. to lis
ten to grand and mastery handling of
the skeptical element in the present day,
by Rev. E. s. Smith, and then again at
$3.50 p. m. DR.. DuBose held the vast crowd
enthralled with HE eloqnence, as he told
in burning words "The Old, Old Story of
Jesus and His Love-"
Of course, we are going to have an
Austin Day." and then we expect an in
mense crowd from the Capital City.

iustifyipg slavery thus far, DR.. Haygood
is glad il is gone. He regards it as mis-
take, however, to give the negro the ballot
along with his freedom, when he was to-
tally unable to make judicious use of the
res possibility.
Just at this point we overheard some OF
our northern friends remark that this diff
ficulty, too, had been provided for, and
helping hands had ever been ready all
over the south to aid the colored brother
in depositing his ballot.
DR.. Hsygood is laboring zealously for
the education of the negro race. Love OF
Christ, he says, requires it, and the
welfare of our country makes 1t
an imperative demand, and the
sooner the people recognize and adapt
themselves to the new conditions, the
more rapid will be the progress of this
grand work.
DR.. Haygood preached fine sermon on
Sunday to an attentive and interested
audience.
Rev. D. d. Snowden's sermon in the
evening was delivered in a fascinating
style, peculiar to himself. Unbelievers
were treated to some logical and solemn
reflections On the error of their ways,
DR.. Snowden will lecture to-day on
popular Amusements," and to quote our
business managers words: "If the
press has not deceived US, DIR.
Snowden himself will be one
of the most popular amusements of our
Ohautuaqua session." He is brilliant and
witty, keeping his audience in the hsppiest
humor, while he instrpcts them with his
inexhaustibe fund of knowledge and expe-
rience. DR.. Snowden will lecture Tuesday
at $3.50 p. M, subject: brain, or Muscle,
which," On Wednesday at IL O'Clock he
will talk of "Work and Workers"
Ex-Gov. Cumback, of Indiana, arrived
on Sunday, and will remain on the grounds
until Friday. Gov. Cumback was in con-
gress from Indiana away in the
days when Houston and Rusk were
in the United States senate. In private
conversation, he relates many little inci-
dents of his observation ar acquaintance
with these men. Gov. Oumback has a
widespread reputation as an eloquent
speaker and popular lecturer. He has
Travelled everywhere-north, south, east
and west, and never fails to attract large
and enthusiastic audiences. He will leo
ture Tuesday at IL O'Clock; subject: "The
Invisible Some People" On Wednesday
night "The Model Husband" will be dis
c1ssed. LIST all wives see to it that their
husbands are on hand to hear this lecture.
On Thursday night "The Common Man"
will be the subject of Gov. Cumbaok's
lecture.
Don't forget the excursion on Wednes-
day, lasting three days. The celebrated
George W. Balm, of Kentucky, will speak
on Thursday.
Our Ohautauqua has been grand suc-
cess. Never before has such fine array
of brains been placed before the Texas
public. Our northern visitors express
their surprise at the delightful climate of
Georgetown. There is always a cool
breeze playing over the hill, and tenters
will be loath to break up and leave the
camp life. But so it must be,
for next Friday closes this best season of
development that Texas has
ever known.

CORPUS CHRISTI, July ID, 1889.
Special Correspondence to the Statesman.
Hon. W. H. Grain, of Ouero, arrived in
this city on the 18th, from Rockport. On
the 9th and 10Th. he spoke to large
crowds in that city. He is now making a
tour over the southwestern portion of his
district. He has spoken at Goliad and
Refugio and will speak at Market hall in
this city, Monday night. Mr.. Grain is
very popular in this section and has hosts
of friends.
The most popular amusement in this
section is sailing on the bays. The fisher
men give excursions to Ingleside, to the
Pass, and Flower Bluff.
The citizens who vent to Rookport
to participate in the celebrations
at that point have returned
we'll pleased with their trip. All had a
good time, and everyone has good word
for the future great city near the Pass
Rockport.
Rain again has fallen in this section,
and as result everyone feels happy, as
this will insure the largest crop of corn,
vegetables, cotton and OR 1873 that was ever
grown in this section, The truck farmers
have more than they can dispose of not
withstanding they make daily shipments
to northern markets. The fruit crop prom
ises to be the largest ever raised here.
The artesiau we'll is now down 1,037 feet
with the fve-iuch pipe. The water is salty
and not fit for use.
The Mexican National Railway company
have commenced to move their shops from
Corpus Christi to Laredo. As the pay
roll at these shops have been from $1,000
to $4,000 a month, the moving Of the
shops will be serious blow to this city

The State of Texas has donated over
100000 acres of land to railroad com
panies, to all of which we do not especial
ly object. The people of Texas have do
mated good many millions of dollars in
hard cash to these same railroads which
we think was just what they ought to have
done under the circumstances, but when
we are told that becase we have given
them that much we have no right to pre-
vent them from taking what we have left,
we propose to exercise the right of free
American newspaper to kick. It may not
do much good as long as the people send
men to the legislature because they are
good for nothing at home, but it will be
some Observation-Disclosures Monitor.

between Galveston and the interior, created
and sustained by the adverse criticisms of
ambitious journals of would-be rival
towns. Recently the majority of the

result is interests reunited and covenant
formed which caunot be broken by the
misrepresentation of petulant news

ONLY three killings reported in Tex as
Monday! The circumstances varied, but
each time there was a dead body left a
witness to crime. Imprisonment has no
terrors for such g1iltiy inclined, and the
gallows must be made to do its work. Yet
whenever the death penalty by some
strange chance is assessed the governor is
asssiled by petition for mercy sigued
with some Thousand names. In such case
there is DO room for mercy, if the law
az ,iu-t homicide is ever to be enforced.

Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1889-03-29

Mrs. Washington used to receive her
guests sitting, and quaint old picture of a
reception at the White House in Abraham
Lincoln's time shows the president moving
about among his guests. The levee, with its
crowd and hopperlike method of disposing of
people, is of modern growth. 1t is thought
a necessity that has come with the great pop
ulation of the country, the vast number of
persons in official life here at the capital.
Still there are observers who think it would
be more Democratic, more rational, if the
president were to adopt different method
1t may be necessary to use a hopper at his
public receptions, but for the remaining
events he might limit his invitations and
prevent the crowding of his parlors to the
danger point, as is now done. With a
few hundred instead of a few thousand
guests the president and his wife could
walk about the parlors, greeting and
briefly conversing with the persons whom
they know, and standing ready at all
times to have strangers presented to
them by mutual friends or the Off
cial master of ceremonies. All the tend
ency of Washington society is toward great
crowds, and crowds bring forms and stupidi-
ties. Actual social intercourse is made i'm
possible. The host and hostess are set up in
a convenient spot and made a show of. Past
them the throngs are marched, as before a
corpse lying in state or a curiosity in a
museum. This absurdity appears not only in
the White House, but in the homes Of cabine
ministers and all persons who join fully in
the society of the capital The average
Washington reception, whether afternoon or
evening, is little better than a procession.
The purpose is apparently to see as many
persons as possible, to get as many cards as
may be into the basket, and of course the re-
suit is intellectual decentralization and physi-
cal fatigue Conversation degenerates to the
merest trivialities, the entire social effort be-
comes inane and ridiculous Washington

Paris Opium Dens,

Opium dens are common enough in
the east end of London but few estab-
lishments of the kind exist in Paris,
although some Bohemian" artists in
Montmartre tried lately to found So
ciety of "hashish" consumers, who
were really opium eaters. II has been
reserved, however, for an enterprising
japanese to run" fully appointed
opium den in Paris He opened his
establishment in the rez-de-chaussee,
or ground floor, of block of build
ings in the Avenue de la Grandee Ar
NEE, and the den was beautifully dec
grated with oriental carpets, tapestry,
ottomans and lounges with little squat
deities and idols presiding owe. all.
Hitler came dozens of the landlords
countrymen and Chinese, of whom
there is not an uncomfortable colony
in Paris. The almond eyed orientals
were thoroughly satisfied, and smoked
and gurgled every night until hey
were as completely dazed as one o, M.
Pasteur's rabbits under the influence
of the trepanning operation.
The landlord was reaping a rich
harvest when in an evil moment he
bethought himself of adding to the at
fractions of his establishment by en-
ploying therein batch of pipeuses or
brasserie nymphs. These occidental
pipeuses and also pipe fillc7s" were
not, however SO honest as their con-
geners in the east, for no sooner did
they find their customers wrapped IN
the fantastic dreams caused by tie
opium fumes than they picked their
pockets and annexed their watches.

large sum of money in this way, COM
planned to the police who have since
closed the den and arrested the land
