The Mexican. Question Aiuamlng Seriems Form. Laredo, Texas, August 7.?Great ex? citement was created among the citizens of this place to-day by the arrival of several detachments of Mexican troops at Nuevo Laredo. Mexico, last night. The rumor that heavy detachments of the Mexican army were marching on Laredo reached the city at an early hour this morning, and when the city was rally awake the report seemed to be sub? stantiated by the presence of busy sol? diers across the line. . No one knew how many were there or how many more were to follow. Business was virtually-at a standstill daring the day, and all eyes were turned to the bay? onets on the other side of the river. Later in the day it was found that tbe -arrival during the night comprised a detachment of four hundred Mexican troops. They are principally infantry and artillery and all through the day have been busy tajring observations and : arranging for what appears to be a long j stay. Among the equipments brought ; with them are several cannon which they placed in position early in the da?. These Sins are so stationed as to command Fort j clntosh on the Texas side of tbe Rio Grande, and a broadside volley can be turned into this" Fort at a moment's notice. The troops have taken the most J commanding position on the Mexican frontier ana are evidently not there with peaceful intention. It is. not yet known whether- aoy men are to follow, but it is rumored that detachments will be placed in tbe commanding positions all. along the Rio Grande, so that if an attempt is made by troops of the United States to make entrance into Mexico, they can be met with forcible resistance. Among I Americana here great indignation 'is expressed at this proceeding of the Mex? ican government. They consider that it is a haunt of defiance at this government, in that negotiations have not yet suffi? ciently progressed to authorize such ac? tion. The Mexicans here, however, josti-. fy the course of their government by saying that, as matters stand, it is prudent that Mexico be in readiness for. hostile entrance. They say that:she does not place the troops on the frontier with any spirit of defiance, but merely- to be ready to hold the river in case its territory its threatened with invasion.. Does it mean war? All express the opinion that to-day's developments does not augur well for a-peaceful settlement of the controversy between the United States and Mexico. The impression has become general that Cutting will be sentenced and pun? ished, and that Mexico will maintain her position by. arms, if necessary. Future developments are looked to with interest. Another thing which points to such a result of the pending trouble is in the ru? mored negotiations for alliance with Mexico and the several Central Ameri? can republics. It has become generally known that the president aod ex presi? dent' of the Central American States of Salvador, Nicaragua, .Honduras, Costa Rica and Gautemala, have been negotiat? ing for such an alliance and are now in the City of Mexico for such a purpose. It is said that the plan is for a onion of tli030 States into oue confederation with tbe ultimata view Of annexation to. Mexico. It is certain that in the present controversy with tbe United States their sympathy is with Mexico and in case of war their aid will he givon that govern? ment. The confederation of all thoso forces can put in the field on short notice, an army of over a half million men. El Paso, Tex., Sunday, August 8.? Cutting has been sentenced to one year's imprisonment at hard labor and to pay a fine of $600. If be cannot pay the line he will have to serve 100 days longer. Medina, who caused all tbe trouble, has leave to sue Cutting in a civil suit for damages. The question of censuring American Consul Brigham and asking for his removal is referred to the Supreme Court at Chihuahua. Cutting will prob? ably be hurried off to prison at Chihua? hua to-night. City of Mexico, August 6.?It is announced here, on good authority, that United States Minister Jacksou has resigned, but that Secretary Bayard has not yet accepted his resignation. It is said that Minister Jackson's resignation has uo connection with the recent border troubles, as it was filed in June last. -Minister Jackson has had the confidence and respect of the Mexican government and American residents of Mexico. Denver. August 9.?An El Paso spe? cial says: The excitement over, the Cut? ting embroglio is innen intensified to day. A passenger on tbe train from Chihuahua City this morning said that it is known positively that-Governor Maceyra has ordered the Paso Dal Norte authorities, iu case of an attack from Texas, to cut off the prisoner's head and deliver it to the Americans.' Eight hundred Mexican troops are said to have left Lagos for Paso del Norte on Sunday night. It is asserted that a second demand has been made and that the American officials have been notified to leave Mexico. Large crowds gathered at every street cor? ner.. The arrival of Company F, of the 10th United States Cavalry, at Fort Bliss, which was assigned here two months ago, has caused a rumor to the effect that eight carloads of United States soldiers are on the spot. The bad effects of these difficulties upon business are becoming I very apparent and everything looks like war from a Mexican standpoint. . A .report was circulated to the effect that Consul Brigham bad confirmed the I statement.that a second demand for Cut? ting's release had been made by tbe Unit? ed States Government,. and the people Went wild with delight. Brigham, how I ever, says that be was misunderstood; that he expects such a demand at any moment, but does not know that it has yet been made. Cutting has been called before the Court in Paso del Norte, and Consul Brigham is in attendance. An Atlanta Mystery. Atlanta, August 6.?In 1872 a drum mer from New York named Yervell came to Atlanta and stopped at the Old American Hotel. He stayed here about a week and did a large business and he* dime very popular with those with whom he was thrown in contact. One evening he suddenly disappeared from the hotel, leaving his baggage in his room. He has never been heard from since. Friends from New York telegraphed inquiring as to his whereabouts, but no news concern ing him could be obtained. His relatives came on and employed detectives to hunt him, but all (search proved of no avail, and from that day to this he haa never been heard from. To day while work? men were making some excavations in the front yard of a Collins street bagnio they found under the front steps the skeleton of a man. which had evidently been burled for a number of years.. The house has been in its present use for many years, and about three months ago its late proprietress gave it up, moving elsewhere. Another woman leased it a few days ago, and it was preparatory to moving that the excavations It-ding to the discovery were made in the yard. As soon as the plumbers discovered the skeleton they notified the chief of police, and an investigation was at once begun. Detectives went to work, and, while nothing definite is known, they express themselves au reasonably certain that they have solved" the mystery of Yer vell's sudden departure from Atlanta. They refuse to give their clues, but affirm that they are right in saying that the skeleton is that of Yervell.?Z>i's< patch to the News arid Cdurier. Mr, Tilden's Last Days. A reporter of the New York Star vis? ited Mr. Tilden a few days before his death, and give a sad picture of the great man's physical condition. He said: "Mr. 1'ildeti usually wakes in the morning about half-past fonr. An elec? tric bell at the head of his bed summons his valet, who gives his medicine, which he takes as regularly as he does his food. Afterward he Ties still until about eight o'clock, seemingly dozing, though when his valet, thinking him asleep, approach? es the bed, he finue his bright eyes open and watching him. If he feels well he is; assisted dowl to a nine o'clock breakfast, which usually consists of some rich' broth.. Owing to an attack of paralysiB, Mr. Tilden in unable to close his lips, and his month is constantly open. His right hand, from the same cause, is en? tirely useless, trembling all the time. He has not even the power to raise it to his mouth. His left hand is but slightly affected by th e stroke of paralysis, and he has the partial use of it. In eating, he uses his fell hand to hold up his lower jaw. His faithful companion, Miss Anna Gould, who hi the sister of the wife of | Mr. Henry Tilden, places to his mouth every particle of food that be eats. She generally puts it in his mouth with a spoon, and be is enabled to swallow it by raising his loner jaw with his left hand and putting his head back." Notwith? standing this condition, however, the Star says editorially: "The marvelous vitality and strength of Mr. Tilden's in? tellect is shown by the interest he still manifests in public matters and by tbe careful control he exercises over tbe do? mestic economy that now taxes what is left of hit former strength." ? Two little girls at Chappaqua, N. Y., made a sensation there r. day or two ago which aroused the whole village and started the populace into the streets. The girls are only 12 years old. One is the daughter of Robert Mauger, and tbe other of a city boarder named Yeaman. The children,, it is stated, went to their,, rooml/when; each wrot? a letter ad? dressed to their parents, informing them that they ware tired of living at home and were going to run away. The let? ters were left on a stAnd in their room. Then the girlu went out into the yard, and climbed a tree to watch tbe effect of their plot. It was about two hours after this event that the letters were found and read. The effect was like a shock of electricity, The house was immedi? ately transformed into a scene of frenzy. The neighbors were notified, and search was made arid inquirers instituted, but nobody had seen either of the runaways. While the excited neighbors were dis? cussing the. be?t means of following up the search, one of them heard a sup? pressed giggle from the tree top, and the mischievous girls were discovered. ? The Christian Church at Harmony, near Oakland, Illinois, has been inhabi? ted by bees for a number of years. The bees took up their abode in the wall be? hind the pulpit. ' The pastor of the Church has been annoyed by them, and they finally got so bad that they drove the pastor, people and all out of the church, and had undisputed possession. Monday a crowd collected, and ripped the siding off from the foundation to the roof, where they thought the bees were located. A ft er getting the siding off the men found that the bees had deposited their honey in the wall between tbe stud? ding, which were two inches wide and six inches apart, that place being com? pletely filled with hooey to a height of sixteen feet. The honey was carried away in wash tubs, pails, and divided among the neighbors. js-j Mr. Tilden was buried on Saturday In the village cemetery of New Lebanon, N. Y., where lie bis ancestors for several generations. Convicts for Fnblic Konus. . Tbe suggestion made in these columns some months ago, says the Baltimore Manufacturer's Record, that the Southern Stales employ their convicts in construct? ing good roads seems to be meeting with considerable favor. Tbe employment of convicts in work that brings them into competition with free labor is becoming so. unpopular that the indications point to the necessity of its discontinuance in the near future. Against their working ou the public roads no objections could be made. As it is now, tho roads in most of the Slates are in very bad condi? tion, especially in wet weather, entailing heavy losses upon all classes, and espe? cially upon farmers, causing depreciation in the value of property and keeping out immigration The law requiring every man to work so many days a year?or pay for a substitute?upon the roads is unjust, as the rich man, who has a dozen teams using tbe roads, contributes no more to keeping them in good condition than the poor man who owns not even a single horse. Moreover, this system has failed to give the South good roads, and good roads are almost as essential to the prosperity of the farmers as railroads. The annual drain upon Southern farmers on account of bad roads is far greater than is generally supposed, and their in? fluence in checking immigration is very serious. By using their convicts in the construction of good -roads under the management of men who understand road making, the Southern States could abolish their unpopular road laws and at the same time gradually build up a sys? tem of the very best roads, thus improv? ing the value of property, inviting im? migration, lessening the burdens of farm? ers and all others, and in general add largely to their own prosperity. Agricultural Education. Consul Warner's letter to the Netos and Courier, on the subject of agricultural experimental stations in Germany, sug? gests an idea that might be carried into practical operation in this State to ad? vantage. Let the County School Com? missioner and the Board of County Com? missioners in each County co-operate to make the County poor farm an educa? tional institution for the benefit of the youth of. the State in the matter of im? proved agriculture. Let the County Farm be made a model farm, and extend a standing invitation to the public to visit and inspect it, and if possible locate a free public school in tbe immediate neighborhood, and arrange to have the pupils instructed by tbe Superintendent of the farm as a part of the school curri? culum. Of course the Superintendents woold have to be selected with reference to their ability to conduct a model farm and to teach agriculture, as well as their fitness to take care of paupers, and some additional expense would probably have to be incurred. But this plan would carry its benefits to a much larger num? ber of people than could be reached in any other way. It is only a comparative few who can afford to leave home to attend a distant college and pay board and other expenses even where the tuition is free. The expense would be in some measure counterbalanced by the in? creased productiveness of the County Farms, and the general management of the poor houses would be improved. Here is a chance for some enterprising School Commissioner to institute a sys? tem, on a very limited scale at first, of course, but which could be developed hereafter into.more perfect proportions and be of widespread and ever-increasing usefulness.?Columbia Record. ? George E. Bundy, a light mulatto, was hanged on Friday in Spartanburg for the murder of Annie Heckman, a white woman of the demi-monde, with whom he confessed he had been on intimate rela? tions. While in confinement Bundy wrote a long piece in verse about his love ?>r the woman, and protested that his mind must.have been a blank when be killed her, as he could not remember having committed the deed.

The tone of the farmers from every part of the County is steadily improving since the rains, and all is cheerfulness where there was only gloom Lwii weeks ago. The general opinion now seems to be that there will be com enough for home use, while the cotton crop depends on the fall weather, With a very late fall two-thirds to throe-fourths of a full crop may be gathered.? Greenville Neivs, 10th inst. ? A rather novel case has just been tried at Edgefield, Scuth Carolina. It shows that eloping with a South Carolina maiden is a very dangerous sort of busi? ness. Arthur M. Warren was a young man aged twenty-three, and was employed on the farm of a man named Holley, who had a -beautiful daughter named Lizzie, aged fifteen. The young people fell in love, and one Sunday morning the farm han^ and the pretty girl eloped. They were overtaken, and the daughter was carried borne and the unsuccessful Lochinvar was carried to jail on a charge of abduction. The worst of it is the poor fellow was convicted day before yes? terday, and the penalty is two years in the penitentiary or a heavy fine. War? ren protested that he loved the girl and was ready to marry her. -The Charlotte, N. C. Observer, of June 24, states that about three weeks ago a stock dealer from Tennessee arrived in that city with a drove of hogs, and one of the Paw Creek citizens purchased from him a fine bow. The Paw Creek man took the animal home and penned her up, but the next morning sue was gone, and her owner was never able to bear anything from her until yesterday. Ho received a letter from the stock drover stating that the bow had arrived at her old home in Tennessee, and had given birth to a litter of pigs the day after her return. This instance of the sow making her way back to ber home over such a long distance is cited as evidence that hogs have a good deal more sense than they are generally credited with. A Remarkable Escape, Mrs. Mary A. Dailey; of Tunkhannock, Pa., was afflicted for six years with Asth? ma and Bronchitis, duringwhich time tbe best physicians could give no relief.

Jl. LIGQN, Principal. THE property of the Anderson Educa? tional Association, known as the University, having been leased to other par tics, I beg leave to inform my friends, and the public generally, that I will open n School for young men and boys in the City of Anderson on the itOlh August next. Having ;-|ient thirty-seven yeais of my life exclusivity in the business of leaching ?twenty-eight in Anderson-County and nine elsewhere? the fruits of ray labors are well known, not only to this people, but also to many others outside of this County and in different parts of the State ; and it is, therefore, with a confident expectation of a liberal support from my former patrons and others that I offer my services to the people of Anderson and surrounding coun? try. It is my purpose, by careful and unre? mitting attention, to teach thoroughly all the Classical, Mathematical and Scientific branches usually taught in High Schools and Acadni'dcs, and at the same time equal care and attention will be given to those engaged in the elementary and leva advan? ced studies, using for both classes of stu? dents the It,teat and most approved Text Books, and adopting such mc ern methods of instruction us have received the endorse? ment of the bet educators of our time. Special attention will be given to the preparation of students for College, and to those who are unable, for lack of time or means, to take a Collegiate course, my car nest efforts will be given to aid them in acquiring a nolid, well-grounded education which will lit tbem to discharge creditably and efficiently all the practical business du? ties of life. I trust I Mill be excused if 1 refer with a pardonable pride, as a result of my life's work as an educator, to the large number of my former Btudents, of both sexes, who have won the first prize at several rigid competitive examinations; and, also, to the long list of young men who have achieved success in the learned professions, and con? spicuous success in other honorable busi? ness avocations. It is not ray intention to antagonize any other institution of learning in our City? there is room for all; but by faithful, con? scientious work, I hope to merit and re? ceive a proportionate share of the public patronage.. The scbol.istic year extends from August 30th. 1886, to June 3rd, 1887. divided into two sessions. Thefirstends Jan. 15th, 1887, and the second begins on the following Monday and ends June 3rd, 1887. There will be an intermission of one week at Christmas. Charges will be made by the session, and when a student enters school, he will be charged from the day of entrance to the end of the session in which he enters. No deduction will be made for loss of time, ex? cept in cases of long, protracted illness. Tuition fees must be paid promptly at the end of each month, or a satisfactory arrangement made with regard to them. No student greatly in arrears will be al owed to continue in the school. Teaching is the business by which I gain a liveli? hood, and it is as reasonable that I should require prompt payment for my work when it is done as any other laborer in any other work. The merchant can give long credit, but he always charges proportionately higher prices. The rates I offer arc slrictly cash?payable monthlv. Tuition fees will be $12 00, $10.00 and $20.00 per session, according to the studies pursued by the student. Contingent fee fifty cents pjr session, to cover incidentals. Arrangements have been made by which students can be boarded at reasonable prices in the City. Students of-my School, boarding at any place, will lie responsible to me for their conduct. Further information with regard to my School will be cheerfully furnished. Don't hesitate to apply for it. Aug 12, 1180_5_3m NO CURE-NO PAY I Dr. Harbin's Diarrbcea aud Dysoutery Mixture.

You have already learned through the local columns in tlie last issue of the Intelligencer the fact that we have bought out the entire stock of Messrs. J. M, McConnell & Co., comprising nearly six thousand ($6,000) dollars worth of Goods, ombraciog splendid lines of? Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Notions, And, indeed, everything usually found in first class Dry Goods stores. This, in addition to our already very large Stock, gives us the largest and most complete assortment of Goods ever before contained in any one Store in this City or in the upper part of the State. We bought them at a bargain for spot Cash, and propose to give the trading public the benefit of it. We know that the prices we offer these Goods at will be a surprise to you. We know, also, that competition is out of the question, for if others would undertake to sell their Goods at the prices we do, they would have to sell them for less than they paid for them, and board themselves besides, and this wouldn't be business, you know. The following are a few of the prices at which we will sell for the nest sixty days, in order to make room for our Fall purchases : 5,000 pairs Ladies' and Gent's Shoes, from 50c to ?1.00 per pair. 1,000 pairs Ladies' and Gents' Shoes, from $1.00 to $2.50 per pair. 1,000 Men's and Boys' Straw Hats, from 5c to 75c each?worth double the money. 750 Men's and Boys' Wool and Fur Hats from 10c to $K50 each?worth twice the money. Dress Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, Hosiery, Gloves, Ladies' Collars and Cuffs, Belts, Veiling, Ruffling, and a multitude of other articles, at just_ half the, customary prices. RIBBONS?a large lot, including all the new shades?on which we are entire? ly overstocked, and must sell. You can have them at your own price. CORSETS from 25c to 50c?can't be bought for less than 50c to 75c. The fa mous "Ball" Corsets, the best in the world, we will sell at less than manufacturer's cost. The makers of these Corsets require their agents to sell them at not less than 25 per cent, above cost, but as we bought them at an Assignee's Sale, of course made no agreement of that sort. Buyers, who understand their true value, are eagerly making their purchases nbw, and we would advise you to buy early, as we will not be able to replace them at the prices offered. On next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the 8th, 9th and 10th days of July, We will make u Special Exhibit of Gent's and Boys' STRAW and FELT HATS,' with prices marked down low, to be good only for these three days. Wo want ? everybody who ivants Hats to come, as this will be an opportunity to buy them cheap, and for less than their value. Come anyway, whether you want to buy or not, but bring your money along, in case you should see anything in our Store so cheap that you may want it, that you may not be disappointed about it. We will be glad to see you at all times, and will do our best to please you. We know that we can make it to your interest to give us your trade, as we have a Stock of Goods that cost us less money than others have to pay for them. Come and see for yourselves.
