There is q probability that there will
soon be vacancy in the Office of judge of
the 18th Judicial District. The different
bars have, with singular unanimity, re-.
q uested the Hon. Hardin Hart to resign,
and it is not to be supposed that he will
SO far disregard his solemn pleds es as to re-
fuse. In case Of vacan cy We think the
voice Of the bar should DO heard in the
selection. of the successor.
It being impossible to ascertain the will
Of the people, the next best thing will be
10 ascertain the choice Of the bar, and we
feel satisfied that no lawyer in the
District would be willing to accept the po-
sition under the circumstances, without
the appreciation Of at least majority Of
the attorneys over whom he would be call
ed upon to preside.

Of us:
awe left our office on Friday last deter
mined to enjoy ourself for day at least.
Soon we were seated in an elegant rail-
way coach, in charge of that courteous
conductor Bass, en- route for Dallas,where
we arrived at 1890 A. NJ. Soon we were
reg istered on the book Of the best hotel in
Northern Texas, the Crutchield House,
where we enjoyed ourself eating enc of
the best dinners we ever had the pleasure
of having placed before us. Leaving Dat
las early that evening We enjoyed the ride
back to our city in charge of Pratt Mat,
thews, land a more sociable, polite and
attentive conductor never lived, more
than any ride we have taken in years.
We found business in Dallas to be quite
brisk, and were pleased to see the streets
so clean and such good order prevailing

The Duty of the Legislature.

shS 0tNJ -
The time delayed by the present Leg's-
laiure seems to hc unavoidable II not I'M
pardonablc, and II is q serious question
with the masses II II would not accord
more with the public interest TO put all
important measures TO n test vote, and II
nothing can be do ne adjourn and come
home and leave Mr.. Davis to run the gov
eminent in his own WY. Let The people
in conventions anl primary meetings take
the matter in their own hands. This thing
Of yielding 10 Mr. Davis whims because
be happens to be the accidental Governor
Of Texas, is humiliating. But the same
old rotc is being enacted-when On inch
is yielded, another is demanded.
The duty of the Legislature In its pres
ent awkward position is to put every i'm
portant measure to recerd-to tes
vote and come home, either for term oil
sine die, and report progress, and let th'
people act for themselves.

number Of piers are already up, and the

who carries on - successful manufacturing
business. Although possessed of an abunG-
ant competence, he devotes himself with
untring assiduity to the interests of his
factory ten hours every day. His eyes and
hands are everywhere. Half year ago he
married a beautiful, accomplished girl,
who is said to speak four of the continental
languages with the t1aency of natives,
while she touches the keys with infinite
skill. Four months ago they began house
keeping. A>week since they gave it Up in
utter disgust. Three servants figured con-
spicOously in their griefs. The coffee was
execrable, the steak abominable, the cruet-
stand and silver not fit to be seen, and the
whole house in confusion. The husband
bore it as long as pride aud patience could
endure, and then sacrificing everything at
auction, returned to boarding, resolved
never to suffer the miseries of housekeep-
ing again. l was never more indignant
than when heard of it. If that beautiful
bride had learned one less language, add
devoted the year to the mysteries of house
keeping she might have made my friends

The women who sit down by the fire TO " keep

with glowing cheeks. quick steps and strong

encourage them not TO waste their time and
