"When did Dewey seem at his best to us who were at Manila with him?" he said the other day, iu answer to a ques tion. "All the time. Dewey was never anything but at his best, yet I have three special memories of him when he was at better than his best. While I was ou deck trying to get a torpedo in shape for the Spaniards during the battle, I saw him on top of the charthousc, In the most exposed place he could possibly find, directing the proceedings. "Uncle George' was well worth seeing them. After the battle was over and we knew we had the Spaniards licked,, be was so happy his face fairly shone when he thauked the men of the Oiympia for their part in the' fight, ; : He was pretty well stirred up then, I tell you, and so was everybody else, and the cheers we gave him just lifted us off our feet. "Dewey's face shone again the day the first lot of Yankee transports, bring ing thousands of blue soldiers, steamed into Manila bay.- He wasn't weU that day, but the arrival of the transports made him better. Some time later. boat brought a cablegram to the Olyni pJa, Soon after he had read It, all hands were called on deck. We expected tome, thing highly important, hut we couldn't guess what. We'd never "seen Dewey so stirred tip but once Wore, and we knew him too well not to be certain that he had great news..' He most have seen that we were eager, and I guess he was willing to make ua wait a little. He looked ont upon us and smiled a halle lujah smile, and then he said : -, " 'Now, tuea, I want you to listen to the best news we've had since the first of May. I was ill this morning, but k has made me well.,: Now, listen: - "Then he bad the dispatch read. It told bow Cervera'e ships hod been done up as completely al Santiago as Monto lo's had beea at Manila a llttls over two ! months before, - U was like an electric i shock to the' men on that ship Tey ; yelled enough to lift the sky in tt4r cheering, and then they j Vamghed a lid hooted and shook hands with each oth er bii.I jumped op and down aud danced.

A dispatch from Dallas, Texas, says: "One of the most exerting and Interesting affaire ot a purely business nature wit nessed fat Breoham for av great many years was the notion kale of a herd of wiut; Western-raised horses., ; .Three or four hundred people were attracted to tbe scene," and strung themselves along tbe top of the high fence inclosing the corral, and on the balconies and awnings of the buildings adjacent, all eager for the fun and much exerted, as if they were to witness a famous Mexican bull fight. Some half dosen Merk-aaa and colored men, experts with the lariat, who were objects of as much attention as the most famous batierileros, were station ed in the corral, and as the horses were singled out and sold, rushed to the herd with whirling, twirling lassos, and al most instantly a perfect network of ropes would fall upon '3 the '., frightened animal. The crowd would yell, and the struggle for mastery between men and beast commence. Like a fjaab another lariat would, be curling oat and around the horses' forefeet; then by a quick, pe culiar twitch and Jerk of the rope, he would fall prone and prostrate to" the ground, and give up the fight for free dom. In a twinkling one of the las soists would arrange bozo ou the head, all the ropes and lariats slipped off, when the horse would scramble to Iris feet, breathing heavily, dust covered and dazed. The big gate would wW f open, the horse would be let out and de livered to the purchaser. This exciting scene was repeated over and over until nearly evry horse was sold. , - , , HABEAS CORPUS Judge Purnell Petitioned la the Cue at ' . Tn C.J...I r! n.", ..'.;.:. . ' it v cuei w rruoners.
