Inundation In Texas.

From New Orleans under date of
Sept. 18th, we have news from
Brownsville, Texas, stating that the
Rio Gmnde has overhowed its banks
for the first time since 1869, and that
the country is inundated. There is
three feet of water in the main plaza
of the city ofCamargo, and an almost
unbroken sheet of water from Browns
vile to the Gulf. The cotton crop is
destroyed. The Rio Grande and Point
Isabel Railroad track has washed away
for over six miles, and almost the en-
tire line is submerged and ruined.
Poles of the Rio Grande Telegraph
Company's line to Brazos are swept
away. Mails are stopped, and stage
communication with the Interior cut
off.

An Iowa editor, recently, to keep
up style, ran away with another mans
wife. He did not get off so easily,
however, as he imagined he would.
The man followed him, and overlook
the trGant pair. The editor got be-
hind the woman, and prepared to sell
his life as dearly as possible. He was
uncertain as to whether the outraged
husband would shoot him or murder
him with q carving-knife. He stood
there, like the boy stood on the burn
ing deck, and calmly awaited the
result. The outraged husband came
up TO within two feet Of the editor,
and said: "Cuss your impudence. |
want you to stop my paper" that was
all. The editor recovered himself
and said he would have the matter at
tended to at once. During all this
trying scene the woman stuck to the
editor like sand brlr to \ girls stock
ing. Some people get mad and stop
heir paper for almost nothing. 1t
Nats all.

Jefferson Davis, ex-President of
a somewhat unfortunate Contederacy
who has heretofore conducted him
self with commendable good sense
appears to have shown no slight de-
gree of assiHinity ia a recent speech at
White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia.
He took occasion to assert that had the
Southern people known what was to
follow surrender, they would never
have been conquered, and also gloried
in the fact that the women of the South
would not be reconstructed, and hence
there was hope that the children would
grow up with the old principle in
them. Should the children have us
little sense as their fathers, and rush
into another rebellion, the "old prin-
ciple" would be walloped out Of them
very quick.

The Girl Just Married.

"Can she make bread?" is the chorus.
No, of course she can't Well, our
grandmothers made bread" What of
it? They didn't live with steam ba-
kerry round the corner. Nobody asks if
Frederick can saw wood or NOW. His
grandfather did both but Violet is sure
Frederick wouldstation himself with his
axe directly under the clothes-line, and
his own head would be the first wood
chopped. He might, indeed, sally forth
some summer morning, gaily swinging
his scythe but, before night, he would
surely be brought home, like some popu-
lar actor, Sin two parts" However,
she feels that she can love Frederick
even if he does differ in some respects
from his revered ancestors. "Can she
knit?" cries the chorus. No. "Well, our
grandmothers knitted all the stockings
for their families" The absurdity of
thinking that Frederick, who cannot en-
dure darn in his fine hose, would wear
those coarse, clumsy, ribbed-yarn stock
ings, even if she could make them.
Clearly, the woman of to-day is good
enough for the man of to-day but,
seeing that some writer's are so infatu-
ated with their grandmothers' ways and
words, perhaps that apparently useless
and absurd canon, that man shall not
marry his grandmother, is not so un
necessary after all.
