There are others who have lied time
and again about the members of this
House, and about me. This handy
man, Hand, of the Galveston News,
paid for lying and endeavoring to earn
his, salary, writes up to Galveston the
most false and scandalous charges,
which affect my reputation, or would,
if it was vulnerable to attack from such
a source. These do distress my wife
and family, but sensible people all
know them to be lies, and therefore

is not on this floor member who has
done more for the reporter of the News

of reporters to seize upon all items that

A Nice Girl.

Though that class of girls is by no
means extinct, still they are not SO
numerous as might be wished. There
is nothing half SO sweet in life, half
so beautiful or delightful, or SO Iowa
Bile as a nice girl. Not a pretty or
dashing girl, but a nice girl. One of
these lovely, lively, good hearted,
sweet-faced, amiable, neat, natty,
domestic creatures met within the
sphere of 'home," difusing around
the influence of her goodness, like
the essence of sweet flowers.
A nice girl is net a languishing
beauty, dawdling on q sofa and dis
cussing the last novel or opera, or the
girafe-like creatures sweeping ma
jestically through the drawing room.
The nice girl may not even play or
dance we'll, and knows nothing about
using her eyes or cOquetting with a
fan. She never languishes, she is
too active. She is not given to sens
sation novels, she is too busy. In
public she is not in front showing
her shoulders; she sits quiet and un~
obtrusive at the back of the crowd,
most likely. In fact it is not often
We discover her. Home is her place.
She rises betimes and superintends
the morning meal. Who makes che
toast and the tea, and buttons the
boys shirts, and waters the flowers,
and feeds the chickens, and bright
ems up the parlor and sitting room.
SIS it the languisher, or the giraffe,
or the. eIegant?" Not bit of it:
it's the nice young girl.
Her maiden toilette is made in the
shortest possible time, yet how
charmingly it is done, and how ele-
CANT her neat dress and collar. Not
presenting her cheek or brow like ga
fine GIRL" but an audible smack
which says plainly, 81 love you ever
so much" If you covet anything
it's one of the nice young girls
kisses.
Breakfast over, down in the kiteh>
en- to see about dinner, and all day
long she is up and down, always
cheerful and light-hearted. She
never ceases to be active and useful
until the day is gone, when she will
polka with the boys, or read, sing
old songs and play old tunes to her
father and mother for hours togeth-
er; she is a perfect treasure-the
nice girl. When sickness comes it is
she who attends with unwearyedness
in the sick chamber. There is no
risk, no fatigue that she will not I'M
dergo; no sacrifice that she will not
make. She is all love, all devotion.
l have often thought it would be hap
piness to be i'll, to be watched by
such loving eyes and attended by
such fair hand.
One OF the most strongly marked
characteristics of ''nice girl is tid-
mess and simplicity of dress. She
is invariably associated in my mind
with high frock, plain collar, and
the neatest of nice ribbons, bound
with the modest little brooch in the
world. 1 never knew a "nice girl"
who displayed profusion of rings
and bracelets or who wore low dress
ses or a splendid bonnet.
I say again there is nothing in the
world half so beautiful, half so in
good as a "nice CIR"
She is the sweetest flower in the path
of life. There are other far more
stately, far more gorgeous, but these
we merely admire as we go by. 1t
is where the daisy grows that we
like to rest.

Carriers,

Some New England lady, Mrs.
Daniels, we belieVe-another of the
Daniels come to judgment-has in
vented a new-fangled apparatus for
keeping the ladies stockings up,
which is to supercede the time-hon-
ored and knightly garter. 1t may
de well enough for those ladies who
lack sufficient rotundity of limb. but
our Virginia women are not deficient
in any of the necessary adjuncts
that go to make up the perfect mould
of form, and can keep their garters
on and stockings up without resort
ing to any new inventions. What
will the Yankees ask US to surrender
next? The garter is an old and
cherished institution; and although
the elastic invention with the buckle
has been adoptedby many city bellies,
the free-born and unconventional
country girls still stick to Irvine and
tape, and other strings-some even
using as tie the primitive wisp of
straw. We will have none of this
new fashioned hip attachment gear
ing. We are true to our ancient ties.
1t is direct assault upon our ciVili-
cation, blow aimed at our gartered
rights; and we will resent it while
we have leg to stand upon. Ladies,
be true to your stockings. Unfurl
the banner of the garter, and in
cribe upon it that grand motto of the
grandest order of knighthood ever
established-"Honi soft qui mally
pense" and there is not a man,
young or old, in Virginia, but will
rally round the flag, and shed his
last drop of blood in defence of the
garter rights of women, and cry
"Down With the Yankee hip ocracy!"

PUT YOURsELF INHIs PLACE.

It's very good rule in all things of life,
When judging friend or brother,
Not to look at the question alone on one side,
But always to turn to the other.
We are apt to be selfish in all our views,
In the jostlIng, headlong race;
And 80 to be right, ere you cen ure a man,
Just 'put yourself in his place"
1t is very hard to be just-ts know
The reason another may give
How much he has struggled and fought and
striVen,
How honestly tried to lie;
How much been cheated, how sorely tried,
Ere the wrong be was forced to embrace;
And if you would learn these things, the way
Is to "Put yourself in his place.
There's many a man crushed down by shame,
Who blameless stands before God,
But whom his fellows have utterly scorned
And made to "pass under the rod"
Whose soul is unstained by the thought OF
sin, s.s
Who will yet find saving grace,
And who would be praised where you now
condemn
Ifyou would "put yourself in his place."

The quarantine at Galveston, ordered by
the Governor of Texas, is regarded 10 this
city as unnecessary and therefore mischie-
vous. The News mentions that efforts are

true that there are, in New Orleans, some
few sporadic cases of yellow fever, but no
deaths. There is no sign of epidemic.

Mr.. P. @. Taylor, of San Antonio, has pur-
chased the Greenwood farm, about two miles
above the city, on ShOal creek, where he will
at once erect buildings and commence the
manufacture of lime on gigantic scale. Mr..
Taylor has had an extensive experience in
this business, and possesses the requisite en-
ergy and will to accomplish what be attempts.
He is the sole proprietor of the renowned
Perpetual Limb Kiln, and with the improve
ments his experience has suggested, he is
confident he will soon have in successful ope-
ration one of the largest lime manufactures
on the continent. We congratulate Austin
on securing the establishment of the works
in this neighborhood
