Col. Gustsve Cook playfully alludes
to little muss he had sometime ago
with his affectionate relative, Uncle
Sam, as uniting him for active duty
in the new military company being
formed in Houston. The gallant SOL
dier however, has soft place still In
his heart for the profession In which he
won imperishable fame, and bids the
boys God-speed. We are glad to see
these companies being formed, and
trust the practice may become very
general in our State. We want to
see the military spirit kept alive in
the South. We may some day be
eslled upon to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the "boys in blue" as
we stood face to fsoe with them in
the past, and we don't want to be
called Ithe awkward squad" Let
US have one here in Waco.

Mourning in the South Pacific is
carried on in a manner which to us
would seem very curious. A widow
will lay aside her bonnet and wear
the hat OF her late husband; some
times widower will 90 about IN a
loose gown of his departed wife, worn
over his own proper dress. Instead
of a shawl, a mother will place ON
her back pair of trousers belonging
to little boy just laid in his grave.

All this goes out Of the country, as 1t
is now, and is lost forever to us, in
lieu of which, we have, and use,
wagons that we could manufacture
at home. Another article Of daily use
among our farmers is deserving of
mention. Plows The vast num-
bers of this implement OF husbandry,
Of the simplest construction. involv-
ing ss it does, only the plainest and
simplest principles of mechanism,
that are daily brought to this State
is SIMPLY incredible. We send money
out of the state to buy them, and
large sums of it too. Now there is
not man in Texas who can give an
intelligent reason why this Is so, ex.
copt that we are either too lazy, or
have not the requisite mechanical
skill to make them ourselves; or
that we are naturally inprovident
land wastful TO shameful degree.
Another article of prime necessity,
not only here, but throughout the
world, is cotton goods. Water and
steam can be as readily and as cheap
ly applied TO machinery here, as In
Massachusetts,. The few experiments
that have as yet been made in the
South. have been eminently success
ful. The dividends paid on the capi-
tai stock of the Augusta and Col
umbus mills in Georgia, are larger
by eight per cent, than any dividend
that has ever been paid in Lowell.
Now why in the name of COM
mon sense is not some of our
surplus capital employed in the man
ufacture OF cotton goods? There is q
reason for all this, and we intend to
give it briefly but plainly:
Under our old system, the slave re-
gin,e, people were raised to look upon
manual labor as degrading. Intelli
gent mechanics and laborers from
the North, knowing and properly
estimating their own worth, would
not come here to work, and our own
people were above it. Now the
remedy is plain. We must
come down to it ourselves, and up to
a proper appreciation of those muscu-
lar heroes Of the forge and the loom,
who have immortalized and enriched
barren New England. e'There is no
excellence without labor" and there
will be NO genuine prosperity for
Texas without manufactures.

A page and half Of this, and then, return

seen in these particulars:-
The Bible speaks of ministers as men of
Gcd, about fifty times. Sometimes they are

tors, title given to kings, and claimed by
God as honorable to Himself. They are also
called bishops, also, watehmen, also, emb IS
sadors for Christ.
There are two pages of this. Then follows
three pages of more general Illustration, and
two of other mems opinions.
This is the authors method through the
book. The chapter on "A cal to the Min
istry,' Is divided under nine heads, and sub
divided indefinitely. In this chapter
woman's right to preach Is disposed of in two
lines:-' The greater part of mankind are
not called. Halt Of the human family are
females. 81 suffer not woman to teach |;

The subjects considered include all con-
eeivable matters pertaining to the ministerial
office, and while there are a great many
ministers who win find the book interesting
ON that account, there are also doubtless
