strive to bear away the best and greatest
number of premiums, and thus superinduce

Its object is the highest possible educa-

fied, of Klorence, in the fourteenth cen-
tury. and in what additional rules may

Mayor Medill, of Chicago, writes from
France that nothing improves him more
than »' the people. As on
* ■ " l'aris contains be-
-pj, "'ut'aUil live times the population
-iiicago, but 1 (ind that the fuel con-
sumed in it is less than iu Chicago. It is
true that the climate is much warmer for
nil months of the year in Paris than in
Chicago; but, after making due allow-
ance for that, it still remains true that
only one-third to two fifths as much fuel
is consumed per capita in Paris as in
Chicago; and, as far as my observation
aud inquiries extend, the same proportion
holds good throughout all France."
General Wade Hampton has issued a
circular in behalf of the Southern Histor-
ical Society, in which he says : " I ap-
peal to every man, and to every woman
of the South, who has a pride in our past
glory or our future honor; who wishes
to place upon the record for all time to
«come the vindication of our people; who
"desires to see the whole truth laid before
the august tribunal of history; who cher-
ishes amid all these evil times love and
reverence for our heroic dead, or who
hopes that our children shall not de-
nounce their fathers as rebels and trait-
ors, to aid this sacred work. To insure
the success of the society, it will be ne-
cesiary to obtain a large membership, so
that tiie unavoidable expense incident to
its work may be met."

* The appointment, by Govemor Coke,
of tlia Hon. Silas Hare to be Judge of
the Criminal Court, for the counties of
Grayson, Collin and Dallas, and his con
firmation by the Senate, will give satis
faction to all true men in the coun'ry.

meanness which has characterized so
many of our judges in the last four years'
—bulla* Herald.
The Honorable C. C. Binklev, of Sher-

finest in Washington. Morgan, a young
Philadelphia artist, is'also at work on a
portrait of the Senator from sketches
made in the Senate tJUamlier.
Speaking of the late Miss Stiner, the
Jewish Mauenger says : "The coble self-
sacrifice of the daughter who refused to
leave hor invalid mother, and thus per-
ished in the flames, will not soon be for-
gotten, especially by the many who en-
joyod her acquaintance. One of the
most vivacious of girls, few gave her
credit for being a genuine heroine, whose
death, amid all its horros, was to be en-
nobling and resplendent. A few hours
before her doom was sealed she was mer-
rily dancing and talking at a friend's
■ house, with no thought but of the pres-
ent and her wealth and happiuess. The
decisive moment arrived, and in the face
of an awful death, whose very mention
makes tin* boldest of us shudder, she
clung to her mother and died by her side.
True heroism, indeed, deserving record
for all time."

on art as well as a noted ecclesiastic, re-
cently discovered in the possession of a
Liverpool tradesman Sir Charles East-
lake's painting of " Brutus haranguing

t ij^[ lost.

A
CARD.
Galveston, August -30th, 1873.
STATE OF TEXAS—TO THE
Sheriff or any Constable of Galveston
county. Greeting:
Whereas, on the 12th day of December, A. D
1873, John Hibbert, of the county and State
aforesaid, filed his petition in the District
Court of Galveston county against the un-
known heirs of William Ayiott, deceased, al-
leging in substance as follows, to-wit: That
Wm. Ayiott departed this life in the city of
Galveston, in said county and State, on the
20th day of February, A. D. 1873. That for
many years previous to his death he was a
resident of said couuty and State. That he
died intestate; and that, after diligent inquiry
petitioner'is.uuable to ascertain the names or
residences of the heirs of said Ayiott, and
that the same are unknown. That on the 29th
day of March, 1871, said Wm. Ayiott was the
owner and in possession of lots number six
(6) and seven (7) in block number four hun-
dred and ninety-eight (498_), situate in the
city of Galveston. That ou the said date
plaintiff leased from said Ayiott said lots, for
a ueriod of five years from that time. That
plaintiff, by virtue of said lease, went into
quiet possession of said premises, upon
which he had, under a previous lease, con-
structed a wooden building, wherein he car-
ried on business. That on the 25th day of
January, 1867, purchased of J. M.Jones by
W. Bennison, lot number five (5) in block
number four hundred and ninety-eight (498)
in said city, for the purpose of erecting there-
on permanent and valuable improvements.
That on or about the 5th day of May, A. D.
1871, plaintiff had a conversation with said Ay-
iott, on the said premise*, and informed him
that he had purchased lot number live (5). for
the purpose of erecting thereon valuable and
costly improvements, and that he had already
purcnased brick enough to build a fine two-
story house, of brick, for the purpose of
plaiutiff's business. That said Ayiott then
and there asked him not to do so as lots
number six (6) and seven (7) aforesaid, were
a better location. Plaintiff replied that he
could not risk so much expenditure on pro-
perty not his own—said Ayiott still urging
him to build a fine brick business house on
said lots owned by said Ayiott and leased by
plaintiff and toldp aintiff that if he, plaintiff,
did not have money enough of his own, he,
Ayiott, would loan him enough, at reasonable
rates of inte:est. Said Ayiott further, then
and there, promi.-ed, undertook and agreed
with plaintiff by parol, that if he wouid, in
the place of the old wooden building on saui
lots six and seven (6 and 7) aforesaid, erect a
substantial brick business house he, Aylotr,
would; convey to him, plaintiff, said lots, at
any tim-» before or at the expiration
of his said lease, for the sum of
three thousand doll rs ($3,000 00.) That
upon this understanding and promise
by said Ayiott, and at his urgent solicit ation,
and in consideration of such undertaking
and promise and solicitation, p aintiff did, on
or about August 22,1871, commence to remove
said old wooden building—uropertv of plain-
tiff, as aforesaid—and to erect in its place
and stead a fine two-story brick businees
house; that very often during the progress of
said work said Ayiott was present and wit-
nessed the same, and expressed his approba-
tion thereat, and repeated his promise a.id
undertaking above recited—and that said
Ayiott was also present and repeated said
promise and undertakings at t.ne time and
place said work was commenced; that plain-
tiff completed said builuing at a cost oi ten
thousand dollars during the life of said A -
lott. who frequently met plainLiff at said
building and repeated said promise and un-
dertaking after the completion of said build-
ing as aforesaid; that plaiutiff, upon his part,
undertook and agreed to, and with said Ay-
loi t, to accept said Aylott's proposition for
plaintiff's building said brick house, and to
rely upon his undertakings and promises, and
to pay said Ayiott the aforesaid sum of three
thousand dollars for said lots at some time
after the said building should be completed,
before or by the time of the expiration of said
lease and pending the said parol contract,
the said William Ayiott suddenly departed
this life intestate, and his heirs aie to plain-
tiff unknown; that plaintiff will suffer great
and irreparable loss unless the equities ac-
quired by him, as above set forth, are recog-
nized and a specific performance of said parol
contract decreed against the unknown heirs
of William Ayiott, tne defendants in this suit.
The plaintiff hero tenders to the court the
sum of three thousand dollars, and prays that
the same maybe received for the benefit of
said defendants. Plaintiff prays for citation
and for a judgment upon final hearing for a
specific performance of said parol contract,
and for a decree for the title to said plaintiff
in and to the said lots six and seven (6 and 7),
in block four hundred aud ninety-eight (498),
in said City of Galveston, upon plaintiff pay-
ing into the Clerk's office the said sum of
three thousand dollars, and for such other
and further relief as plaintiff is entitled to
in law and equity and for costs.
And the said John Hibbert having made
oath before me that William Ayiott is dead,
and that the heirs of said William Ayiott,
who are defendants iu said cause, aro un-
known, and that their residence is unknown,
these are, therefore, to command you that
you summon the heirs of William Ayiott, de-
ceased, whose names are unknown, to be and
appear before this above court, and answer
t'»is petition, on |the THIRD MONDAY in
February, 1874, by making publication
of this writ in some newspaper printed in
Galveston County, for eight weeks previous
to the return day of this writ.
Herein fail not, but of this writ make due
return, showing how you have executed the
same.
