lowing: The absence from their seats
of both the Senators from Nevada has
been a subject Of comment. and it has
been generally rumored that. As active

road question that the political phase
it has taken will likewise Very mate

The habit Of keeping open house on the
FIRST day Of the year and Of calling general
ly on ones friends and rendering our con-
gratulations and receiving their generous
hospitality, was scarcely known in New
England or in most of the Southern States
until late years. In New York city it is as
old as its first settlement by the Dutch, and
from thence it has slowly and gradually
spread over the whole country. There can
now hardly a city or town be found, where
some do not prepare for the new year, and
await, with anxious aud pleased ex-
pectation, the coming of friends.
Austin, on such an occasion, has,
for some years back, presented a very
lively appearance. Young and old club to-
gether, engage a carnage, which is almost
necessity, il many calls arc to be made in
our widespread city, and go coursing about
from house TO house, eating and drinking,
talking and laughing, and making merry,

evening. Last Thursday, We think. was
not as generally kept as some former New
Year days, yet it was quite lively, and,
though the morning looked unpromising,
the clouds soon cleared away and the sun
came out in all its glory, giving the balmy
warmth and feeling Of spring. We con-
fned our calls to fox friends, al
ways making our round on foot, and
must say that we had good time of it,
and trust, old as We are, that we may enjoy
many other occasions ike it. We love the
custom, and hope it will be continued,
though we confess, like every other good
thing, it may be abused. But on Thursday,
though many tables were garnished with
egg-nog and apple toddy, very tempting to
old and young, We witnessed no excess, and
our city, up to late hour, was perfectly
orderly, though seemingly quite happy.
Friday everybody resumed the labors of the
new year with renewed hopes and spirits.

THE CONTRAST.


On Thursday, New Years day, as we
started out to call on few old acquaint-
ances to bid them happy new year and
partake of their limitless bounty, We were
stopped on the street by friend, who pre-
sented us with two beautiful roses, the one
white, the other red, and both moro fra
grant than the roses Of spring and sum-
mer As wo walked along admiring their
beauty and occasionally inhaling their de
lclous perfume, we could not help think
ing of relatives and old friends away of in
the frozen regions OF the North, and con-
traSting their condition with ours. It Is
true that sleigh ride. wrapped up as one
is in buffalo robes and hand stove at ones
feet, is rather pleasant and exhiliratiug-we
remember something OF them in our far
OF youth-but then frozen noses and
ears, and toes and fingers arc not

us the genial climate Of Texas with our

as we did last winter, Of men frozen to

THE closing stump speech of Hon. A. J.,
Hamilton, before the Supreme Court in the
Rodriguez case, appeared in the STATE Jour-
nal of Friday evening. The attempt to ig-
more any considerations except the safety
of his client is peculiarly rich, when it is
known that the counsel for the State moved
to discharge him on the ground that there
was no proof Of any offense against the
election law having been committed, which
motion was opposed by the prisoners coun-
sci because they did not desire his discharge
except BY decision that the election was
null and void. The position of Hon. A. J.
Hamilton in this case is not to be envied,
and bis attempted vindication viii not sat

THE ALBIoS.--We have received the an

the 4l5ioa, sh-American weekly news
paper, published in the city of New York,
for five dollars year. This paper was started
in June, 1922, nearly ffty-two years ago,
and, if It had not been well conducted,
would have died long since. The fact is,
that it is one of the very best weekly news
papers in the country, containing no trash,
and being managed with dignity, judg-
ment, discretion and ability. 1t is our idea
of frstrate weekly newspaper, and we

A ''FARMER, in the Houston Age, takes
exception to our notice of the new company
formed to introduce steam plows and steam
blowing into Texas, and evidently thinks
we know little about the matter. Well, we
were raised on a farm, and do know little
about the cultivation of the soil, though
nothing worth Dragging about. We under
stand that deep blowing is good thing,
and that steam plows may be used success
fully on large sugar plantations, but they
cannot be made profitable on small farms,
