The new Masonic Temple in Houston is
slowly. | am told that an or.
namentRl iron front has been ordered,
which will be placed In the building this
Summer. Meanwhile, active operations on
the walls await The arrival Of tho iron from

A recent order published by Gen. Han
ock seems to override, to a certain extent,
he decisions of the boards of registrars in
he recent census of voters. The line Gen.
hancock draws is that between General
nd Special laws. Clerks of elections are
xcluded, because they held Office under n
eneral law, while Mayors of cities aud
ldermen are admitted, because their Offices

Speaking of the hide trade, l must not
eglect to say that one cause of its great
,erease is the temptation good prices give
negroes to knock down and skin indis-
any animal they can catch in :

the mich COWS around and in Houston
ave disappeared, and in all parts of the
rairies carcasses can be found Of horned
little, with their heads stove in and their
ides gone. Lazy, shftless, rascally ne
