Hon. Henry Wilson, Vice President of
the United States, is at the Hutchins
House, Houston. Our city fathers, if their
unstrung nerves win admit of it, should
certainly invite him hither, and tender the
hospitalities of the city. He wouldn't have
any of his paper shaved here, and the com
mittee may stand aside.
The bunko men, whatever these NAV be.
have again the mastery of Rockdale. When
Austin becomes the terminus of the utter
national, as it may be for some months, all

He has 200 cows, boys all the milk in the

and will be welcomed in Austin, unless he
bring down cargo Of Limburger.' y
The mayor of Houston has issued an
edict expelling all the fortune tellers from
the place. Our mayor would do the same
thing, but he has a. fortune teller of his
own-the wiseacre who showed him how to
sell city bonds at seventy-two and half
cents. It would never do to issue an edict
of expulsion against fortune tellers in Aus
tin.
An old citizen of Texas DIR. yelling, of
Victoria, died few days ago. If these
old veterans do not take care of themselves,
and 100000 more people invade the empire
as In the past three years, the newcomers
will obliterate the old race. Even now the

There hasn't been child registered in
Salado since Christmas. There's been an
almighty letting Gown somehow, and the
doctors will be inquiring into the curious
fact tomorrow in Their convention. The

reform. Gen. Robertson should 90 up

A youth of Dallas, more festive than
discreet, has written ardent letters, express
