STOCK SHIPMENTS.

All IOuuu lbC SdttlC Situotioh
is not as rosy as the selling
price of beef at butchers stalls
would seem to justify. The
price of beef to the consumer,
generally speaking. and all over
the country, is higher than com
mon while the price on foot is
low and present prospects are
for still lower figures. This,
can only be explained satisfac-
torly by the rush of stock to
market. Among the reasons
for this state of affairs, bad for
the stockmen, has been the con-
gested condition of the central
and southern Texas ranges; the
carrying over of "old stuff and
the desperate efforts made by
the owners of this class of cat
tie to unload on the markets at
some price. These conditions
have over supplied the natural
demands and buyers taking ad.
vantage of glutted markets, as
they always do, has had every e.,,
thing to &c With the depressed
prices. Fancy and first class
stuff has always been and is
now in fair demand at good
figures but even this class has
been more or less affected in
price bv the rush of the lighter
and inferior grades.
The shipments from this
point, so far, taken altogether
would be called 10 cattle par
lance, mixed lots Past ex-
perience leads the News to say
that young stock, no matter
what sex, which have been kept
thriving from calfhood, fat, OF
good form and we'll colored,
bring the highest penny in the
beef markets. There always
has been and is now, good mon
ey and quick returns on this
class of stock and right here is
where good stock farming will
pay in the Panhandle.

A Strict Distinction.

Old Senator Benton, of Missouri,
was violently opposed to the mar
riage Of his daughter Jessie to John
c. Fremont. He threw every possible
obstacle in the way, but his argu-
ments, pleadings and threats were
alike useless. After the marriage
Mrs. Fremont often told the story of
how her father, powerless but not
reconciled, went to the newspaper
office and handed in a notice announc-
ing the marriage of "Jessie Benton
and John C. Fremont" and how,
when his attention was called to the
fact that he had reversed the usual
form, he banged his fist down and
cried: "Darn it, sir, it will 60 in that
way or not at all. John c. Fremont
did not marry my daughter; she mar

COME AND DINE.

What is this form on, the sandy beach,
Busy with work sublime?
Giving hail in human speech,
Bidding them come and dine.
With SCARED hands He gathers the wood
Roasting the fish in the sun,
Preparing for hungry men their food,
When tolls of the sea are done.
What are these marks on His manly feet:
On His brow? where the crown should be
A generous hail to the fishermen's fleet,
And a meal by the side of the sea.
Wholesome fears on their souls were cast
Reverent worship given
double meal, sweet repast,
o rarest bread from Heaven.
Bread for the body, bread for the soul,
By resurrection power,
A bond complete to make them whole,
Crown of their lasting dover.

CHAPTER VIII.

The next evening at nine o'clock,
Warde was working in the office when
negro boy brought him a note He
lowing:
''Mr. Warde-Come as soon as you
can to Peters Rest, No. 1,OO6 Com
merce street. A river man there can
give you a great story for the Ga
zette. His name is William Jackson.
ga Friend
Irving received a great many notes
like this, and it occasioned him no
surprise. Peters Rest had a reputa-
ton of not very reassuring charac-
ter; still he was often called to such
places, and he gave it no particular
thought. He finished the work upon
which he was engaged, and at II
o'clock started for the choice locality
to which he had been called.
AS he was passing the station
house, Fenton, the detective, Joined
him and asked whittier he was going.
''To Peters Rest" said Warde.
chats nice place to go to- said
euCOu, laughing.
81 was called there to get piece
of news,' replied Warde.
81 will go with you," said Fenton;
cit may be something in my line
Cali right; but remember that this
is mine, and if there's anything in it
the Gazette gets it exclusively
"Of course"
The locality which the two men
were about to visit was a considerable
distance from the station house, and
it abutted on the river. Commerce
street originally ran parallel with the
river but the current of the Mississ-
ippi, which is ever making some ex-
cuse for a change, had eaten away a
large part of the bank SO that the
upper end of the street ran almost
into the water. The rear end of sew
eral houses on the west side were ac-
tually suspended over the stream,
and it was only a question of time
when they would topple into the
swirling waters; but it is rather a
venerable observation that because
thing did not happen yesterday
people are inclined to think that it
will not happen tomorrow. And so,
many persons on upper Commerce
street continued to reside above the
river, knowing full well that there
would be an end to it some time, but
fondly expecting that somehow they
would move out day or two before
the crash came and the river claimed
a lot of refuse not it's own.
That portion of the city Warde and
Fenton entered knew no such luxls-
ries as lamplights, and depended en-
tirely upon such illumina tons as a
complacent moon would furnish. On
this particular night the moon was
contending internationally with sea
OF crested clouds. To the right as

! they traversed the rounded strees
bending with the river bank, several
cotton sheds spread their huge Iii
mansions in solid blackness. The
houses were mostly old and dilapida-
ted and peopled with the city's dregs.
1t was here that thieves, rough boat
men, idle plantation hands, and
that great herald of the transient
and the shifting known as the
tramp, were fond of congregating
And 1T was apparent that the ac-
commodations were ample for this
kind OF population. There were dens
of various shades of iniquity; ram
shackle sheds where the tramp could
| readily find free accommodation for
the night; greasy corner groceries
where stale vegetables and riot-breed-
ing liquors were sold, together with
| the certainty that one would take up
| the trail of death where the other
left off; boarding houses where river
and plantation hands were packed
| Chinese fashion. In short, one could
see here every sort Of building, ex-
cept the church and the school house
| AS the two men continued their
| walk the houses became less numer-
Gus, and they passed vacant lots, be-
yond which they could see the sill

| At last they came to Peters Rest.
| 1t was twO-storied house, which
in it's day had been considered one
of the handsomest residences in the
city; for, in the early days of Nilus,
this congeries of filth, crime and deg
relation had been the most eligible
part of the town. Yet nobody ever
dreamed at the time of this story

OF CRIME.
banked in shadows to the north,
would one day be reclaimed again
and traversed by railroads and re-
sound with the hum of business; for
now the desperate and the rough
were omnipresent in that locality.
The exigencies of the time had con-
troverted this old mansion into the
very worst resort of it's kind in the
city. 1t was become the rendezvous
of all sorts of disreputable men and
women. 1t was here that under the
influence of liquor, which was I'M
equaled in vileness, all sorts of evil
pacts were struck, crimes WERE
planned and new lessons of deprav-
ity were learned. Just this side of the
Rest was a vacant lot, stretching
down to the river. Here Fenton said
he would stop while Warde went in.
Before they separated Fenton handed
him a police whistle, and it was
agreed between them that if Warde
should blow it, the detective would
know that he was in danger and
would hasten to his assistance. Fen
ton was not at all satisfied with this
adventure of Warde's, but he did not
communicate any of his uneasiness.
He merely cautioned him to be on his
guard, as the crowd he was going
among was not very particular about
taking either property or life.
The atmosphere in the saloon was
SO heavy and malodorous that the
lights burned dimly and reluctantly.
Behind the bar was a stolid ruffian
who looked as if he might have taken
all the degrees of crime. A low brow,
heavy black mustache, small animal
eyes and profusion of cheap jewel
ry admirably fitted Billy MCGEE to
be the hero of bl..ady melodrama
don chap-bool1. A couple of dissipated
young men were throwing dice be-
fore Billy, who watched the result
with the interest of a dispassionate
referee. A number of persons en-
bodying various degrees of disreputa-
bility were congregated about the
tables, some handling greasy decks of
cards, some shooting craps" some
drinking whisky and other congenial
liquors and some talking apart in
whispers on subjects not to be re-
vealed even in that favorable atmos-
phere. There were also on hand a
few faded parodies of womankind,
whose efforts to be gay and mirthful
were of a piece with their CHASTITY
surroundings.
