Mr. Editor: Saturday morning as I
was walking down the (beets in search
ot something that would sdd to the com
fort of the inner man, I met a gentleman
who wss bound for the picnic at Helicon

short while, I accepted a seat with liiin,

of which won gathered the chivalry and
beauty of Sandy creek; and from tht
moment I reached this lovely grov ], adja

of pleasure and enjoyment
The morning was devoted to dancing,
and to say the young people enjoyed it,
is but to mildly express the truth. The
ladles all were graceful, and tho men
emphatic.
Atone o'clock the dancing ceased, and
we were invited to partake of an elegant
dinner, prepared by tho fair ladita of tl.e
community and spread in picnio style.

Kusscit and Murrell addressed the crowd
on tho “issues of the campaign ” Mr.
Bussell opened tho discussion in
speech ot twenty minutes, M r. Murrei!
followed In s thirty minutes' argument,
and Mr. B. closed in ten minutes. The
“issues” liscussed, as far as the writer
could gather, were that both speakers
were very anxious to he elected. There
seemed to lie no material diff rences be
tween the candidates. Mr. R. alluded,
as he said, with pride to hia past ser
vices, ami said lie had never done any-
thing but for the good of his people, and
never failed to appear in their kehslf
whenever it was neccsary. Ha said he
had gotten more money for Clarke conn,

ha stood for re-oloction on hia record'

Murrell instated that Mr. B. had been
rewarded beyond hia merits, and that it
was time to bring in another horse; that
ho was batter fitted and capacitated to
represent the farming interest, for the
reason that for never teeu years he had
known nothing else. He made a Tory
good showing, and was frequently ap
plandad. Ha said tho farmers ware 76

CITY SCHOOL ITEMS.
The examinations this week, we un
derstand f >m tho superintendent, are of
course to bo rapidly made, and arc meant
to determine only approximately in what
grades, or classes, pupils belong.
Pupils will he further and more
scorchingly examined upon their en
trance into the schools, Sept 1st—these
examinations to begin at once upon the
opening of tho schools. Hence pupils
holding entranco cards will need to re
port promptly on tho opening day to
their respective schools. The space is
limited, ami first, comers will be first
served to desks.
No list* of hooks and materials will bo
issued to pupils until after these final
entrance examinations. Pupils will be
by this time most nearly where they are
best prepared to be, under the system
adopted by the board.'
The schools are graded schools—are so
of necessity, and hence tlioy are organ-
Ixe-' by grades, and not by localities. It
is determined, however, to divide the
lower grades if these prove sufllsiontly
large, and to put one section im a down
town building and the other in an up
town building. This can be done only
after the schools have been opened.
It is not supposed that everybody can
be satisfied with these preliminary ex
aminations and assignments to grades
and schools. If under the pressure of
circumstances any matters are overlook
ed by tho auporintaiident touching the
disposal of pupils, send pupils in for an
other examination without delay.

El Paso, Tex., Aug. 21.—By
-pccial dispatch to the El Paao
limes it has keen learned that y
terday the second chamber of the
supreme tribunal ol Ibis state took
up tbe case of A. K. Cutting, and,
alter reviewing tbe entire evlrii
argument was begun.
Tbit did not last long. The at
torneys pro and con had previously
come to an agreement that the ‘'im
prisonment already suffered by Cut
ting b* comicered complete purge
tion of his crime.”
This makes it cettain beyond
doubt that the acntenco which fal
low* shortly will conform totbii
agreed e t among tbe attorneys.
Thucase was heard with closed
doak*. The court holds that Judge
Calender and Judge Zuhia were
exactly right in trying and sentenc
ing Cutting, but under the circum-
staurra, think* he has now, by two
months’ confinement, suffered
enough, and they will order hia re
lease, to take effect probably by
Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week.
The (6io fine is also to be remit
ted. Tbe court -expressly reaffirms
a'l that has been aaid in lavor of the
right or Mexico to try an offense
committed in the United States.
Tncrefore, the status ol tbe case as
an international question, is not and
will not in the least be settled by
the reha-e ol Cutting. It will come
up again direitly on a question of
indemnity.

she fell dead from Iright and ex

a short time.

“I am to milk Dmrie for the last
time,” she said to her mother as she
went out of the door. While Miss
