The doings in the Convention
yesterday were q little more inter
esting than usual.
The report of the Comptroller as
to the amount due the State, on
loans, by the railroads, is very inter
esting,and to it we invite the atten-
tion OF our readers.
The move for an address to the
people is rather queer one, and
we can see no cause for such a step,
except IN the later resolution max
ing q proposition to sit with closed
doors. That will never do in Tex.
as, and let the papers do what they
will, the people will not be satisfied
when the Convention refuses u
have published, its acts each day.
I'd The little escapade betweeI
friend Nugent and the Reverend
gentleman from Franklin,is a sligh
ripple on the surface, and will onl,
excite amusement. The sensitive
ness Of the delegate from Franklil
is q little remarkable, to say tn
least of il.

1t has been openly charged by
several respectable newspapers that
two at least of the leading members
of the Convention have been drunk
upon many occasions since the Con-
ventaon has been at labor at the
Capitol. Some two weeks since the
matter was ringing all over the
State, to the great detriment of the
Convention. We considered the
matter grave enough to justify an
article upon "The Sin of Drunken
ness in High Places" and wrote it
more in sorrow than in anger. The
article has been commended all
over the State by nearly every res
pectable paper, but it remained for
the ghoul-like State Gazette to in
sinuate that the article was the eff
fort of an inebriate. The Gazette,
nor any other man in Texas, ever
saw tide writer drunk, and the insin-
nation that he did,is a base calumny,
But drunk or sober, the Gazette is
ever alike, untruthful and unmanly.

The Useful Horse and a Walking
Gait.

This is said to be q utilitarian age
that the first question asked about any
new project, or scheme is: What will
it pay? But when We come to estimate
the horse. little attention is paid to use
fulness or real value. The question is
seldom asked What can he draw ?
How fast can he walk? What service
can he perform daily? but rather
What gait can, he trot. and what is his
bottom in miles In this respect a
large class Of farmers are nearly as
crazy as the rest Of mankind. They
ignore the most useful horse, that does
the principal work Of the farm and city.
We believe IN breeding and training for
speed. Of using the thoroughbred stall
lion, and that this has done much to
improve the blood Of our common stock.
and may, with judicious selection, do
much more 10 perfecting the useful
horse. But this wild mania for simple
speed is likely to be material injury
to that largest class Of useful horses, in
which the country has hundred times
more interest than in that for simple
speed. The great injury comes from
selecting breeding animals wholly on
account Of supposed trotting or running
characteristics. 1t is true that speed
may be accompanied by the necessary
weight, muscle and endurance Of the
useful horse Of all work; but as the
selection is not made for the useful
qualities, the tendency is to breed these

New Spring Styles.
SPRING HATS.


The new hats are far larger than any
that have been worn for many years,
and chips the fashionable material Of
which they are composed. The felt
hats now in vogue give some suggestion
Of the Spring shapes. but the new chip
hats are still larger than these. are as
soft as any slouch hat, have high
crowns, and wide brims capriciously
rolled, turned and indented, and in size
they are like gentlemen's hats, very
slightly modified. Importers claim for
these mammoth hats that they are not
only becoming. but sensible; as they
cover and protect the head; the latter
assertions, is true, and as they will soon
be considered stylish, the former is a
matter Of course.
For young girls and misses straw
hats are shown in an improved sailor
shape known as the Leopold. The
crown is round, instead Of being square
and fat, as it was last year, and the
wide brim is turned upward all around
The edge is bound with black, brown.
or blue gros grain ribbon, and the hat
band and ribbon to match have bars
and triangles Of gilt or silver. White
straw Leopolds are prettily trimmed
with navy blue ribbon that is almost
black, and ornamented with stamped
bars Of gilt.
SPRING coLoRs FOR TRIMMING.
The list Of celers fer the ribbons,
damasks, figured grapes, and other new
materials for trimming bonnets is as
follows: Soft pink sky blue, silver
gray, cerise, ponceau, nut brown, lilac
(with both pink and blue tinges), drap
(of dark light, and medium shades). !.
paille or straw color, navy blue (Which
is now black -blue). and lastly. beige,
Manila, and cream colors, which are
naturally unbleached buff shades, with
more brown in them than in ecru tints
50 long in fsshion.
NEW MATERIALS FOR TRIMMING.
The novel trimming for these new
large hats will be wide scarf ribbons ol
soft damask serge Of single color,
with damask figures, arbesques, and
vines of the same color and similar
shade. These are as broad as sash
ribbons, and as pliable as the plain
twilled India silks used for neck ties
the brocaded damask designs upon them
make them very rich-looking. They
are shown in sky-blue, rose pink, beige,
and other Spring shades.
SPRING PLAID sUITINGs.
The first ilnportations Of dress goods
for the coming demi-season are what
dealers technically call "suitings," but
are designed for only parts Of suits.
They are single-width twilled all-wool
goods, in broken plaids or in blocks,
ani are also called camel's hair, as it is
now the caprice to call all twilled stuffs.
These plaid wools are in nut brown
shades or in gray tints. and sometimes
bars of blue, Of ceris. or Of violet are
introduced.
