great Bookseller and Station er, Houston,
Texas, has determined on keeping sup
ply Of Printers Material, such as Presses,
Type, Furniture, Cases, Stands, Stones,
etc. In his announcement he says: sit
Ills my design to be able to supply not
"only sorts, leads and such other things
"as Printers are continually running out
"of, but complete Offices, both News and
aJob, all of which will be sold at New

MI, As evidence of the increasing COM
mercial Importance of Dallas, we record
the fact that the receipts both Of the tele-
graph line and the Texas Express Offices
here ara larger at the present time than
at any place in Texas, outside Of Houston
and Galveston. Our friend Burton, of the
Western Union Telegraph, informs us
that his business has far exceeded his ex-
pectations, and the Dallas office bids fair
to be the second Office in the State.
The same is the case with the Texas tx.
press office--Dalas is the best office on
tho Central Road, after Houston. ..,

\ ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. Death exposes
many carefully concealed mystery. Henry
II. Byrne, we'll known citizen of San Fran:
cisco, who died not long since, was supposed
TO be bachelor, and left all his property to an
intimate friend The probate of the will, how
ever, is now contested by the well known ac-
tress, Matilda Heron, who produces certih-
cate of marriage and other strong evidence 10
support of her claim, as his wife, to consider
able norton of the estate. 1t seems that on
Miss Heron first professional appearance. In
San Francisco. in 1858: she created an ln-
mense sensation, and attracted host OF Wor-
shippers, among whom was young Byrne, then
a rising member of the legal profession.
Miss Heron reciprocated his attachment, and
it was decided that the cooing couple should be
married before she left the city She was then
to play farewell engagement which she had
already agreed to do, and then was to bid fare
we'll to the stage forever. They were accord,
ingly married in strict privacy. The bridal
honeymoon lasted but five brief days, and on
the 18th of June the romantic pair bade each
other an adieu, and the bride sailed to fulfil
her farewell engagement in New York. She
was shortly followed by her husband, but
when he reached her side he only remained
with her single day, and then their earthly
life paths parted forever. 1t was only known
that information affecting the young wile con-
duct during her absence was then. given him,
and that it must have been of such character
that his sensitive nature could not overlook
Returning to San Francisco, the name OF Ma
tlda Heron and his relations to her were ever
afterwards forbidden subject.
Although there is no evidence that any d.
yorce was ever obtained by either party, Miss
Heron afterwards married Mr.. Stoepel, the
we'll known musician. Her subsequent history
is sad one. As she was very much IN love
with him, although directly against the advice
of her friends, she made over to him IN legal
form her house, diamonds and all the fortune
which she had gained upon the stage, She
then determined to earn her living by teaching
elocution, but her pupils were few, for the wo,
man was now poor, broken and obscure, aud
she was again forced to appear upon the stage: t?:
But she had now lost all her early attractions
and was currently reported to be crazy Not
long since her old dramatic friends in New
York, remembering her hberahty, when she
had means, gave her benefit which netted
her about 5000. Her claims upon Mr.
Byrne's estate will probably be contested.

\ THEATRICAL WRECK very few years
ago there flashed upon the American stage
woman of marvellous beauty and of perfect
torm-a form, too, not iiealously concealed. She
was acknowledged to be the handsomest player
OF the day. She turned the heads Of ali the
young men who saw her. and added the brains
OF not few of the old ones. She was the lion
1.-THE lioness, if you like it better) of the day.
The newspapers teemed with her praises, and
fore her. Her voice. we are told, was like unto
vocal velvet" her appearance majestic, her
limbs indescribable, yet modestly but minutely
described, and unrivalled. If the reader has
ever entered threatre he knows that we mean
the very Queen of the Blondes the charming
S,alacta of the "Black Crook Pauline Ma, K
ham, Recently we visited New York, aud to
put in a dull afternoon wandered to Woods
Museum. We found that Miss Markham was
one of the company. Though surprised that We
had heard nothing of her through the newSpa
pers, and that she should be an actor at the
afternoon performance OF a museum, we fully
expected not exactly to see her as dashing as
ever, but certainly to find her still in some re-
>pects the Markham Of memory. TO say
that we were astonished when she came on
fails to express our feelings. The curtain
rose and, in theatrical parlauce, lady
seated was discovered Iu her We recog
nized not feature of Pauline Markham; yet it
vas her. She was pale, wan and weak, 50
much so, indeed, that it was evident she went
through her part in the greatest pain. 1t was
not momeptary Sickness what we beheld
was the utter wreck OF this once magnificent
being. A harsh, deep cough told sadly and
emphatical!y enough OF consumption, and OF
cousum ption not just commenced. To US the
sight was painful. \ year ago this woman
lived the life of a princess; wealth was poured
into her lap. Now she was not worthy to grace
even the evening programme OF place OF
amusement unrecognized as theatre. and lite
rally tottered afternoon after afternoon about
the stage that she mig ght earn enough to keepyet
awhile longer the little life still left her. Sew
eral times she sought the support Of the seen
cry when compelled to stand a moment or two.
\ burlesque followed the conedy-just such
buresque as she was wont of old TO dash
through in the gayest Of gay spirits. She was
allotted the second, not the first part. A cough
had replaced her ringing laugh slckly smile
the bright glances Of her eyes. The career OF
this woman is only out of the common order in
that it has been so short. She trlumphed
scarcely quarter the average length OF time.
Like thousands before. she thought her beauty
aud her talents (for she had the latter, loo.)
everlasting, and neglected the warnings which
must have come to her until too late. How
gladly now would she take third of what an
hours shopping has tme and again cost her,

GAS.
A Card from the Memphis Gaslight
Company. ir

To the Public: Hils liHa3
The board of directors of the Mem
phis Gaslight Company desire to declare,
in an authoritative manner, the future
policy of their company in regard to the
sale Of gas: uiQe No 8ef.N AZ
Our company is possessed of the most
complete and ample appurtenances nee
essary for the manufacture and distribu-
ton Of an adequate supply of illumina-
ting gas for the city Of Memphis, the
right to vend which we claim as an ex-
elusive and vested right. In addition to
the extensiveworks for the manufacture
of coal gas, VIC have in operation appa-
ratus for manufacturing gas from nap
tina, under the process secured by the
Rand & Gale patent. By this method
(owned and controlled entirely by us),
an Illuminating gas is manufactured by
our. company superior to- that which
any other company can manufacture IN
this city by from fifty to one hundred
per cent. This is fact which will be-
come patent to every gas consumer OF
the city should another company enter
into competition with us. Within the
present week an Improvement has been
made at our works which will forever
secure to this city the credit of possess
ing a light unsurpassed throughout the
globe. Through the same agency we
will hereafter be able to correct, in a
few minutes, deficiencies in the power OF
the light we furnish occasioned by cold
weather or from other causes.
We do not propose to lose consumer
ON account of price. Should another
company commence to sell gas at q
price lower than the rate fixed by this
company, we will at once reduce our
rate to point fifty cents per thousand
cubic feet lower than the amount fixed
upon by such other company, and will
keep descending inthe same ratio.
We would remind the public that we
desire no assurances or guarantees on
the part Of our consumers, as we believe
that whenever matters come to open
competition, the superiority of the light
offered by this company, to say nothing
of inducements in price, viii secure a
continuance Of the patronage it has go
long enjoyed.
Its made the imperative duty of every
officer and employee of this company to
pay strict attention to the wants and re-
quirements of our patrons, and any lsck
Of courtesy Or neglect Of complaints will
subject the offender TO severe rebuke or
prompt dismissal from our service.
