graceful yet decided appearance Of 70
grct--for i. is broad one nnl worthy OF
extended clnborntion-the eloquent orator
next maintained that our prosperity as n
people depends, in great measure, upon
the elevation Of the occupations OF the
farmer and mechanic, abiding while on
this point to the mutual dependence" Of
men in the pr, duclive, mechanical and pro-
fessional d, par,ments of the industrial
worli. lie then earnestly contended at
considerable length, and with marked
ability, that the minds of thepeople shonld
he educated in agriculture and mechanism.
lie dilated upon the great and permanent
advantages of education and illustrated
the wide and marked differences between
the educated and the ignorant. We feel
md regret our incompctcncy TO give lit
eial transcript or even fair synopsis of
the remarks of the talented speaker on
this prominent topic of his address. We
can only say that in its discussion he dis
played profound thought, true philosophy,
acute reasoning, and dressed his thoughts
in the richest apparel of the English
tongue. In the concluding portion OF his
address, he spoke in terms of just pride OF
the pre-! tige of Dallas couuty-of its great
monied and political inhuences-a llfling
TO the fact--to use his own words--that
"she claims as her offspring and supports
one of the best papers in the Siatc-the
"DALLAs HERALD; and the newspaper is
ever the best index TO the social condition
of any people" We here return our best
acknowledgment of indebtedness for the
paid by political opponent,
yet orthopotitdn, TO the worth ofthc HERALD.
The rcroration as we'll rs the exordium Of
this address was gen,ly conceited and pref
tily breathed into life of eloquent words
The entire address was we'll received by n
throng of both sexes, and the effort added
another laurel to the crown the accomplish
ed speaker had long since won and worn.
The fair sex were present in great num-
bers-the graceful and mature matron--
the maid with speaking eyes, ia wild,
bright diamoud pair'--the little Miss
scarce in her teens, with springy step,
with round, dimrled and snowy arms, with
couleur de rose upon her cheeks, and
wee sweet mouth like crack in the petal
of a rose, or cleft in pomegranntc-all
were there gliding everything with the
glad sunshine of their bowitching smiles,
recalling the apt couplet:
''The world was sad, the Garden was n
wild,
And Man, the hermit, sighed till Woman
smiled"
We cannot close this account without a
brief allusion to the great amount Of in
terest and pleasure added to the occasion
by the Dallas Brass Band, under the lead
ership of our genial and talented muscal
friend Prof. JuDsoN Ii. STEFFEE. They
we're present ON each of the four days,
liscoursng, from time TO time, the most
popular airs of tho day, to the evident de-
light of all present. In view of the brief
line they have been under instruction and
he desultory character Of their practice,
it is agreed by competent judges that the
of the Band play remarkably
we'll. The Band is composed Of permanent
md valuable citizens-men well known
md highly prized by the community. If
hey could hear, as we have heard, the |
iigh en,omiums passed upon them and
heir performances, it would be grateful TO |
IN honorable pride and stimulate them TO
AXE deep interest in music and musical
They have acted well their
,arf in the Fair and won the esteem and |
hanks of the people.
