There is likely to be •i three-cornered race between Messrs. Crayton, ii Hand and Robertson, and we shell have to a w.iil the verdict of the people in August. The opponent® of Colonel Etotiand claJin that Mi. Cra;. ton was law hilly nominated by the conven tion as its candidate, while Colonel Holland and friends claim that no nomination wns made, ami I hat tn consequence they are*no; bound to abide I in* action of the convention. It is to be regretted that so much bitter fueling hus grown out of the matter, but the returning board of the people will settle it finally and satisfactorily in a couple d! months. Flm* Rains Fell on Thursday and Friday, and in consequence everything wears a more hopeful aspect. The gardens have taken a fresh start, and vegetables will soon lx* more plentiful and cheap. A Rig House Wanning. MoCollister’s new hall in Browncville was formally dedicated by a grand ball on Friday night. There were between two and three hun dred lovers of the dance present, and the general \ eidiet is that no such pleasant affair of the kind oar came off in the town. The fine hall is very commodious, and yet its spacious floor was un tiringly occupied until a late, or rather early, hour yesterday morning. The string band o» Allen and Edwards furnished inspiring music for the occasion, and the delightful hours flew by unconsciously, without anything occurring to disturb the general enjoyment. A New Kilter prise. Messrs. Boren <& Davison have started a coffin factory at Allen’s old stand in Lively. The city sexton, just opposite, seems well pleased at the idea, and several doctors in the vicinity are also inclined to smile. Whether there is any mutual understanding in the business \yo dare not say. Wit limit joking on so grave a subject, it seems strange that some one has not embarked in this }>n:.i ness long before now in Lively or Browneville, as cheap coffins are certainly among the wants of the limes.

She was then quite a young girl. Now the frosty locks are creeping o’er the head once adorned with beautiful dark ringlets. During this half century she has resided within a half mile of where she now lives. Has reared •i huge family of children, several of whom have preceded iter across the dark border. Ab, these hlly years have witnessed wonderful changes, not only in herself, but in surroundings. It is •seldom one lives so long in a place, but this good huly is still quite active ami gives promise of wit nessing several years to come.

Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. .Eufaula, Ala.,,Tune 4. I was mueh interested a few weeks ago in reading several letters from “down the river,” In which it appeared that some member of the Enquikkh-sun staff was out on a pleasure jaunt.' Those that interested me most were the ones detailing conversations that occurred on the roof of the steamer HUB. When Captain Randlette demonstrated that aquatic cats were destined to take the place < f land cats, my heart was rejoiced and 1 felt that the man who had made the discovery was a public benefactor.' But alas, for human hopes, "the eats in our back yard" are just as thick as ever. AN IMPROVEMENT IN CATS is one of tbe necessities of the age, and we are sorry to see that Captain Randlett’s man is a dead failure in this direction. Mr. Francis Gal- ton has been trying to make an improvement in cats, but he is even a worse failure than Prof. Gaston. Probably you have seen the following, which is going the rounds of the press: Francis Gallon has latterly been trying to de vise ways for the improvement of cats. No one will deny that this is a field in which great good might be done. The cat has not been improved within historic times. The eat of to-day is the identical animal that the Egyptians worshipped. She is just us objectionable as she was six thou sand years ago, and no one has hitherto made any attempt to place an improved style of cat on the market. But Mr. Galton has concentrated upon a plan that will make them entirely deaf. I AM NOT INCLINED TO ORUMULi:, but Mr. Francis Galton is one of the most ingeni ous and yet useless scientific persons now living. He is continually making some new discovery, but his discoveries arc of the kind that benefit nobody. Tt is sad to see ao much real ability as Mr. Galton unquestionably possesses fritteied away in science. Were he to give his attention to something useful—whF-t’ for example Ik might make himself ; a public ben efactor instead of a. mere object of curiosity. . Now what does Mr. Gal- toil do when be sets ojit to improve the cat? Does he’at tempt to improve the cat’s voice and meihod of singing, so Unit it will be possible for people to sleep at night me* community where cats thrive? This he thoifi® of substituting soft uni! innocu ous paws for't he armed and dfljndly.paws now in use? Has lie dreamed of so^modifying the cat’s tefth that slip <*m be accidentally stepped on in * dark room without subjccting^lhe innocent ag gressor to a lacerating bite tnnt®s sure to be fol lowed by hydrojliidb^fc or lockjaw? He has done jione'of the*^ things, and his whole energies have been concentrated on a plan to - ' - MAUL CATS TOTALLY UliAfc’. ..... There is no possible advantage in owning a deaf ca£ The animal would -ing, fight, scqstfihiand bite a® vigorously a® a cat in*«c lull upssexsion Kjofber hcarfutf*,. On the^ther {land, J^(j_ wgjht. of hearing would make her positively objectionable. Jt would be useless and exasperating to request such a cat to "seat,” for she would pay no atten tion to a request that she could not hear. Boots anil things would have to t>e' thrown at her when ever itjwas desired to attract her attentio^ and it would be impossible to i call her -no matter what endearing and Haltering terms might be used in ease her presence was desired. While she might lx induced t<> watc h a mouse hole inc ase it were; shown to her. she could not have her faculties stimulated by hearing mice gnawing or squeak ing in the wall, anil halt a dozen ruts might run over the floor wlica her back, was turned without the least clanger that she would notice them. For the-e reasons thero it> apil can be no demand whatever for di af cats; ami ^et > deuftiess is Mr. CJhiton’s idea of the ehiqf improvement that ought to be put upon nils Why could not the man see that what the.* world wants is A Dl Mi: VAKIETV OF CAT. Such an animal would be a blessing unalloyed except with claws and teeth. In the night her value would he beyond price. Hundreds of dumb cats might assemble on the back fence and spend the whole night in argument, but not a single sleepei would lx* disturbed. The keen- eared watcher might occasionally hear the tear ing of fur, and now and then a cat would drop from the fence into a hotbed and break a little- glass, b it the hideous caterwauling that in many parts of this city reuders sleep almost an impossibility would be unknown. It is now a common practice for a cat who has been shut out of tlic: house at night to sit on the front step and mew until life becomes a burden to everybody wit hin the radius of a quarter of a mile; for a cat has absolutely no consideration for the nerves of other people, and Is a mere mass of compressed and consolidated selfishness. But no matter how much a dumb cat might want to get into the house at night she could not mention it, and she would be obliged to wait quietly and decently until morning. somethino of vai.lf: to thf: world might be had if Mr. Galton would turn his atten tion to the invention of dumb cats. There is little doubt that by a trifling surgical operation on a cat’s throat dumbness might be secured.

Columbusites !mu* u great deal of troi.blc witi* their dogs, beginning about the first of June. Those who have no trouble of their own are usually supplied with the raw material by their neighbors and the exchange of courtesies is generally maintained throughout the summer. Arrangements are, however made about this season of the year for the proper settlement of all litigated dog cases. The war department of the city council will, as usual, saject officers to kill dogs. The labors of these officials could be easily lightened if the discriminating public would hear in mind that the justice of the average dog-killer is blind and. that the respectability of the various dogs which roam the streets i< not taken into consideration when this special "constabulary duty’s to lx done.” A great deal of official mi: apprehension could be removed if persons own ing mad dog« should so label them before set ting them-adrift on the streets. This was tried once in Chicago just before the conflagration of that city by the incendiary performance of Mrs. Kelly's cow, but the practice has gradually gone into disuse. The muzzle on a dog’s nose is not usually, as thi* lawyers say, a " badge of fraud." It is merely to provide against contingencies very much as a dandy back stop in base ball wears a mask or a rat trap when the delivery is red hot. It is not necessary for rabies, but as a guarantee of good faith. Tiie most insinuating dog, the frankest canine face one meets on the boulevard on a pleasant June day may be a whited sepulchre with malice aforethought, for all a brave lady may know. A dog must, be either muzzled or nothing. Not that anybody is afraid of the cyelodal wagging of a hyperbolic tail, but one insists on it for humanitarian reasons. Another consideiatiou in regard to the peculiar relations of tire pet dog to the dear public is that the dog killer should be a man of rare qualifica tions; one that should lx willing to face a bull terrier muzzled or unmuzzled and regardless of any deceptive professions of friendships on the part of tlu* "object ofthu orclmante?’.’ 1-Tvrlma*.
