ADDRESS Oh THE MASTER OF THE
TEXAS STATE GRANGE.

w. w. Lang has published an adj
dress to the Patrons of Husbandry
throughout the state, which will he
found in another column of this morn
ing's issue of The HERALD.
The advice therein contained is in
the main exactly such as the people
need. The Importance of practicing
economy by an agricultural people can
not be overestimated. The same NAV
be said with reference to the prepara-
ton of the crops for market; too much
care can not be taken in putting them
In good marketable condition. But
when the farmers are advised to be-
come their own shippers in order to
save the fifty cents per bale charged by
forwarding merchants, we are of opin-
ion that they are advised to course
that will give them infinite annoyance
and veXation, and that will in the end
cost them far more than the amount
heretofore paid to the forwarding
merchants.
If shipping the cotton was all that
was to be done, no doubt the position of
Master Lang would becorrect. But this
is the smallest part of the business.
A correspondence has to be opened be-
tween the shipper and his consignee
storage accounts and freight accounts
have to be overhauled, arrangements
for remittances have to be made, and
many other details of business attend
ed to, which, while they are not dinl-
cult in themselves, are yet annoying
and troublesome to one who is not
accustomed to giving his attention to
such matters.
We realize the fact that the labor of
the farmer is the basis upon which the
wealth of the country rests, and we
earnestly wish to see him get every
dollar for his produce that 1t can pos
sibly be made to bring. We very
much fear though that the scheme sug-
gested will take money from his
pocket instead of putting IL therein.

DR.. Schmidt, Professor of Astronomy

1t is two metres in diameter, and is a
marvel of accurate mapping and minute
draughtmanship. The shadowipg is so
exquisite that any part of the map may
he examined by lens without the ap-
pearance of coarse or rough work. Tho
map represents the labor of thirty-four
years, and is, without doubt, one of the
greatest astronomical results Of the cen

fOUR SCHoOL.-Every person in
(Ridgway has, or ought to have an il
terest IN our school; set on day of 50
much interest as quarterly examination
only two or three Of the citi-
zens were present. This is not right,
and while so little interest is manifested
in teachers and pupils, by the parents
and directors, SO long the school will
lack one important requisite of success.
1t was my privilege to be present at the
quarterly examination last Friday, and
was amply repaid for the time spent
there in the school. room. The exami-
nation was written, but from the earnest
manner in which each pupil went to
work to answer the various questions
propounded to them, left no room for
doubt, as to the thoroughness of the
work which has been done in our school
during the present school year. The
rapidity OF the work accomplished by
the scholars in the "B" grade was as
tonishiDg, each one was all attention
when a question was asked, and almost
as quick as thought it was written out
and answered on the paper, There was
no hesitation, they thoroughly UNDERSTOOD
their business, and if they continue to
work in the same thorough manner
they will become thorough business men
and women. At the close of the ex'
animation in the higher grades, the
lower schools were summoned to the
upper room and marched in
soldierly style to the music of the
organ, and completely filled the seats Of
the large room, after singing three oil
four tunes from their new books, which
were creditably rendered, the schools
were dismissed.
1t will amply repay any person tc
simply look in at the many earnest faces
to be seen in large school like ours,
1t once seen will certainly be seen
again. Let us have greater interest
manifes ted hereafter, it will stimulate
teachers and pupils, and satisfy every
visitor that good work is being well
done 10 the Ridgway school. ].

WRITING ON WRAppERs.-The post
ofice authorities have interpreted the
law in relation to writing on newspaper
and book wrappers with literal exact
ness. This was the ruling of the de-
partment at Washington: A few days
since, the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation of New York, sent protest to
the Postmaster General because they
were required to pay letter postage on a
book forwarded by United States Sen
ator who had thoughtlessiy written his
name upon the wrapper. The Post
master General thereupon revised his
decision, and sent word that the placing
of the scnder's name and address upon
the wrapper would not subjec. the en-
closure to letter postage. The rule also
applies to words descriptive of the con
tents of package, as, for instance
proof Sheets" "pamphlets," &c. The
original law passed when postage was
expensive, and letter was otter surrep-
ttiously placed in the pages of a book
Or pamphlet.
