sanity surprised yesterday afternoon,
by bevy OF their young lady friends

gentlemen friends who accompanied
them, kept them in merry converse,
while the surprised bachelors prepar, d

turkey was punished worse than ever
the Russian bear did its Ottoman name

many scollops rs Pierre Blot or Soyer

toothsome The ladies having brought
their sewing with them, the captured
bachelors wreaked fierce revenge by
having their missing buttons replaced

Our Manufactures.

Dallas should be, and we believe
eventually will be, u great manufac-
turing center. III manufactures, after
agriculture, is found the true source of
n nations wealth. We raise cotton,
sell and ship it north, and afterwards
buy the tleecy monarch back strangely
and at the same time familiarly met
amorphised by the busy looms of New
England. We raise hogs and yet only
yesterday might be seen thousands of
pounds of bacon on Elm street, from
Chicago, st. Louisand even Milwaukee.
Texas flour is admitted to be equal to
Plants epicurean or Fagan's four aces.
Yet, the mighty west, gorged with
cereals to overflowing, must furnish us
the wherewithal to make the staff Of
life, and pour her surplus of -four into
the lap Of Texas.
A step in the right direction has
been taken by Odell Il Co. who in n
very quiet and unassuming manner
have laid the foundation of what we
trust will shortly be n large and lucra-
tive business. Our visit TO their neat
and well arranged
BAKERY AND CRACKER MANDATORY
was well repaid. Under the guidance
of their courteous foreman, MIR. Beck,
who can almost turn barrel of Texas
flour into cream crackers by looking At
it, we examined the establishment of
Messrs. Odell & Co., late Odell Bros.
The process Of

is called brake, and passed between
two rollers which, by the turning of
two screws, roll it to any thickness re-
qdired. 1t is then transferred to the
cracker machine proper, where the
sheets are perforated, cut to the proper
dimensions, and then placed In the

ut Fields theatre. The st. Louis Re-
publican mas the following notice of
her rendition of the character at De-
Bars opera house,
The picture of Antony and Cleopatra
is one of the most fascinating of his
tory Or romance, or both combined.
1t formed the subject of poets in the
old days and continues to be the theme
of the poets of the present. Shaks-
peare presented the picture for modern
times, and the English speaking people
at least know the story of Antony and
Cleopatra chiefly from the play. Like
the play of Julius Caesar, it is stamped
upon the public mind as true history,
and people care for no other Thus the
ideal foreshadows the real and becomes
the true. The people kick facts out of
their way like SO many scraps of un-
finished things. They want the whole
effect at u glance, and they turn from
histories to Thakspeare's greater histo-
rical pictures and get it So the poet
eclipses all possible historians in his
sphere of thought as the stars pale and
seem extinguished when the sun drives
among them. w Ii. Lyle and w. w.
Story have given us two admirable
cabinet plctuI es of Antony and Cleo
patra, drawing their inspiration and
idea from the Shakspearian source,
but the play itself is the great fountain
of light and life which illuminate, the
time and place in which the scene is
laid, fills the age with its people, aud
fires them with their native passions.
The hot breath of Egypt may blast,
hut it IL glory to he So blasted was

IA men have eyes aud human in
stincts. The spell of Cleopatra was
death-mpn knew it, came under it,
and died willingly. They are doing The
same thing now. The power of beauty
and the storm of passion are at the ba-
sis of humanity, and they rise in their
grandsu for good or i'll. No matter to
which end these forces operate, their
movement is grand They do a great
good or make great wreck. Sliaks.
peare's antony aud Cleopatra repre-
sents this grandeur of movement, to-
wards the tragic end which is historic,
and he weaves into the storyand action
all the possible destinations of detail

Thou hast all, seasons for thine own, o
Death"
February 2, the dark-winged angel of death
paused for n moment in his tirtless flight
He needed but that moment to aim and
speed home the unerring shaft His victim
this time was, rs Is often, the brightest Jewel
i'll the family casket.
Little FANNIE MONTGOMERY, the youngest
daughter of h. ana Alice Montgomery, was n
peculiarly bright and intelligent child of nine
years, the pet of the home circle, and uni
versally beloved by all who knew her, She
seemed TO think deeply about the truths
taught her home and in the Sabbath school.
and endeavored TO practice what she learned
she was very punctual attendant mt the
Methodist Sunday school, and much beloved
by her teachers, who will miss her sadly
from her accustomed seat, and will miss sad
ly her bright beaming eyes as she greeis her
class each Sabbath morn. But we will not
sorrow as those who have 10 hope, Tor she was
one of the "pure in heart" and we have His
promise that such shall see God.
When the icy fingers of the King of rerrors
We're laid upon her heart-sirings, and began
tearing them asunder, she seemed TO be the
nrst TO know II, She told her agonized pa-
rents that she was dying, but was not AFRAID.
She thanked them for all their care of her
and tried To comfort them. She expressed a
most earnest desire to see her Sabbath school
teacher once more. When the last moment
came, she passed calmly away to her long
long rest as though she we're going TO sleep
May our heavenly father be very near to
and breathe comfort aud peace into the
hearts 30 sadly bowed down by this nfllic-
ton. May the dark cloud of sorrow that now
hangs so low over their pathway be rifIed.
and they enabled to see the silver lining and
away beyond TO the celestial city, where to-
day little FANNIE is singing the song of the
RET. emcd. May this great bereavement be
sanctified TO the eternnl good of her parents
brothers, sisters and all who loved her. NAV
sIey All ne reulted ana orn an unbrolxen
Rather, grieve not; mother, ween not:
Try To smooth your troubles DER;
Think of her as only sleeping,
Not as dead, but gone before"
