In 1866, Rev. C. C. Preston, aided by a
number of gentlene in Galveston aud
Ho uston, organized Home for the or
phans, which were thrown on these cities
as q result Of the Confederate war.
A charter was obtained and school
opened with scventy.fve children. The
demand for help was go great that the
plan was enlarged-a farm Of two hun
dred acres was procured, and board Of
managers was constituted. This institu
ton has been in successful operation from m
that time. 1t has educated three hundred
orphans, who were destitute, ard has now
about one hundred inmates, which is its
full capacity. So soon as vacancy is re-
ported, q new applicant is selected. 1t
has no income except public charity and
the proceeds of the children's labours.
II is not under the control OF any sect or
party. 1t aims to educate, clothe and feed
The truly orphan as humane act. Four
hours in each day are devoted to work and
six to study. Funds ara now wanted 10
meet incidental expenses, also to build
larger building SO that two hundred chill
dren may be received at once. This Home
is in Harris county, Mt the head OF Calves
ton Bay, easily accessible by steamboats,,
and so issolated as TO be freq from all sourc-
es of dissipation, and ruin. Years Of ex-
perienoe have demonstrated its healthiul.
ness, as no case of fever or any epidemic
disease has ever occurred.
Children from forty counties have been
and now are in the Home, and it is intend
ed to be equally free for all parts of the
State. Rev. DR.. Wilkes, for some years
past, pastor of .he NJ. e. Church in Austin
city, and during the war Colonel Of the
2lth Texas regiment, is now travelling
over the State looking for the destitute
children, soliciting funds and making
known the plans and aims OF the board OF
managers Of the Bayland Orphan Home.

DALLAS HER AID.
Robert JOSSELYN Editor.
The Southern Review,

We hove taken several occasions to call
public attention to this able quarterly.
There are reasons why we feel deep in
terest in its success, and they arr. such as
should effect oil true Southern men. In
the first place, it is the only quarterly re-.
view that we are aware of, published in
the South, and as such should be encourag-
ed aud sust aimed literally by oil who de.
sire to see the people of this section occu-
py position in the literary world worthy
of the ir talents and requirements. There
is no reason why the North should cngross
all the literary reputation of the country.
It's people are not our superiors In hear
or brain, but they act together, puff one
another, and oil agree to dcpreciate any
thing of Southern literary production.
And the Southern people are blind enough
to aid them in keeping up their assumed
supremacy, by subscribing for their liter
ary papers and periodicals in preference 10
their own, because, perhaps, they can be
published little cheaper. By reading
these they become convinced of their own
inferiority, in literary point of view,
and are disinclined to do anything in aid
OF the efforts made from time TO time to
build up Southern literature. Now we
do not hesitate to affirm that the Southern
Review, from its inception to this day,
has been the ablest quarterly published
in The United States, and that it will COM
pare favorably with The best British quar-.
terlies, with all Of which we have been
more or less acquainted for the last thirty
years, through the republications in this
country. Ii is true that, since its connee :
ton with the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, change made necessary for its
con,iued existence for want Of sufficient
patronage, it does not contain that rarie-
~ which would make il more desirable to
the general reader, and that much of its
pages are taken up IN the discussion of
theological subjects yet these are man
aged with SO much ability and learn
ing as to make them exceedingly interest
ing to all with cultivated minds, whether
they belong to the church or otherwise /;
and. besides, each number contains arti-
cles on subjects, disconnected with reli-
gious speculatons, and notices and criti-
cisms Of books, highly instructive and
beneficial.
The July number, now before us, is rot
behind its predecessors in point Of variety
and interest. We give list Of its con-
tents: !. Apostolic Succession. /. South

enterprise, calculated 10 DO ofsuch vast
importance in building up and settling
our State indeed they should encourage
and aid in the construction Of all roads
cen,ering in Dallas, which will ultimately
make your city one of the most i'm

ond cnly to Houston. Go on, my friends,
and build your Wichita road, constructing
! bridges over your streams, improving
your couutrylroads, retaining the emigrant

sheep and cattle, horses, etc, for as soon
as our road reaches Red River, making
connection with the Missouri and Kansas
Company, it is the design of the Central
road managers to fix their tariff of charg
es and bring the products of the North TO
our sea board. Rest assured it will moi
be tho fault of our Company if the pro-
ducts Of the country find any other than
The interests Of the country and of our
commercial cities are identical, each de-
pendant on the other, and it is the duty,
as well as the interest OF the people, to tos-
ter and encourage both. We are now on
the eve of great prosperity, the good and
honest men of both parties are rallying
their clans, 10 elect Horace Greeley as our
next Chief Magistrate, and we are likely
to have better state of government than
during the past four years. Our citizens
are at work deepening their channel to
the Gul', which will, within the next
eighteen months enable the Harris and
Morgan steamers, as we'll as the shipping;
to reach our wharves, thereby saving at
least two hundred thousand dollars in
transportation over the present avenues.
Our merchants will be able TO pay one dol
lar more per bale of cotton at Houston,
instead of delivering it at Galveston, as
barges will receive the bales direct from
the railway, compressipg at their presses,
and deliver them TO the shi in the oftlng.
This will be worth 5000, 600 upon the grow
ing crop, if this course is pursued, while
the merchant can make an equal saving
by ordering his merchandise by and thro'
this channel AS there are many present
who are not aware of the humble manner
in which this great outlay was commenced
and as q duty TO myself snd my colabor-
ers, who FIRST conceived its construction,

Shall Austin Remain the Capital9

At the next general election the people
of this State will be called upon to vote
whether Austin shall remain the Capital
of the State, or some other place be substl-
tuted for it. The present Constitution,
Article Ill, Section 81, is as follows
In order 10 settle permanently the seat
of government an election shall be holden
throughout the State at the usual places
of holding elections, ut the first general
election after the acceptance OF this con-
sLitutiou by tho Congress of the United
States, which shall be conducted according
to law. at which time the people shall vote
for such place os they may see proper Tor
the seat of government; the returns OF
said elec ton to be transmitted 10 the Gov
eruor with other returns of that election.
If either place voted for shall have
majority of the whole number OF votes
cast, then the same shall be the permanent
seat of government. But in case neither
place voted for shall have the majority of
the whole number of votes given in, the
coyernor.shallis issue his proclamation for an
election to be holden in the same manner,
at the next following general election be-
tween the two places having the highest
number Of votes at the first election. This
election shall be conducted in the same
manner as at the first, and the returns made
to the governor, and the place having the
highest number of votes shall be the per-
mauen. seat of government.
So it will be seen that action must be
had in reference to this subject at the next
election, and our people might as we'll be
thinking about it. As yet no interest
seems to have been manifested in any
uarter about the matter, except at Waco,
where the newspapers have been OCCASION
ally insisting that removal Of the Capt.
tol should be made 10 that enterpirsing
locality. No reasons Of any weight upon
our mind, however, have been given to
authorize the trouble and expense of q
removal. If the State is TO remain undi-
vided, no better location for the Capital
can be found than Austin, admitted to be
one OF the most beautiful and healthy
sites for city in the whole South. Waco
can bear no comparison with it on either
Of these points. And if the State is ever
10 be divided, this is an additional reason
why the capital should not be disturbed a
present, and great expense incurred fo'
nothing, except the qualification of oul
good "philosophic" friends at Waco. In
case Of division, Waco would not do fol
the capitol Of any new State that could be
made, and the buildings would be worth
/ less unless converted into colleges OF
manufactures. We are not 10 favor o.
any division at this time. If it ever shcul6
become necessary. then we shall advocate
a new State in Northern Texas, compris
ing the grain region, and Waco will no
do for its capital, as it viii not likely Il
within its limits. We say these hing
without any unkind feeling towards ON
Waco brethren, who, for ought We know
ere the very salt Of the earth, and sboa'
5arr a esri,ol for their Qualification II N.

The New. French Minister in Wash
iHgtOn.

Henri, Duke de Noailles, former
ly Marquis Of the Same title, who
was commissioned some short time
since Minister Of the French repub-
lie to the President and people Of
the United States of America, is
the SON of the Duke Paul de Noail-
les, French historian, member of
the Academy, Chovalicr Of the Col
den Fleece, and descendant of the
illustrious family whose seat was in
the Limonsin. The Duke Paul de-
Noai!les was married to Nile Roc.
hechouart, and had by her two sons,
the first Jules, Due d'Ayen, was
borne in 1926, and the second, the
Maiquis (now Duke) Henri, the
Minister, born in 1880, so that the
new Ambassador is now forty.two
years of age. He has always had
the reputation of beng very able
and intelligent, and among the par
ty to which his family belonged,
that is to say the legitimists, was
always treated as u dangerous re-
publican. But the republics nlsm
of the Duke Honri is of moderate
description; and whenever ''red'
French democrat or republican at
tempted to treat him on q footing
OF equality the Duke knew always
how TO show that he belonged to
the celebrated Noaillcs family, His
fortune being very large, and there
fore being without many troubles,
he enjoyed u life which he willing
ly exposed TO danger. His frequent
ducls have made him equally colo-
brated among duclists and turfmen.
The quiet hours of his life he has
devoted 10 literary purposes, and has
written, among other things, two
works on Poland, OF which one,
"Poland and Its Frontiers" was
published in 1863, and the other,
'Hcnri dc Valois ct la llo.ogne en-
1872" published in 1867, received
the premium Of the Paris Academy
1t would be difficult to say whether
it was in consequence of his study
Of Polish history that he married a
Polish lady, or that he studied
Polish history on account of his
having married a Polish lady, AT
all events, tho fact is he. married Il
most beautiful Polish lady.
The Duke, nevertheless, pursued
his literary and diplomatic career
and was attached to the French
Embassies at st. Petersburg, Mad
rid and other places. The Duchess
de Noailles, who still preserves al
the splcndor of her original beauty
will be one of the brightest orna
ments of Washington society, anC
the Marquis himself, clever, amia
bic and rich, will most certainl,
please all with whom he is brougl
into intercourse.
