While the people of Jackson and sur
rounding country are not extravagant in
dress, yet it is rare thing to see a man
poorly dressed on Sunday, or on public
days. Of course, when men are engaged
at work, they should dress to suit the
kind of work in which they are engaged.
No one would expect to see man run
ming printing press, digging coal, work
ing at furnace, or laying brick, dressed
IN broad cloth; but when not at work,
all these mechanics are enabled to wear
good clothing.
The reason for all this is the fact that
Straus sells clothing at such reasonable
@gures that no man can have an excuse
Tor not wearing decent clothing on all
proper occasions.

=. Lana on,ee aarlalnr.

Yesterday we went through the Land
Office building, to see how the improve
ments there were progressing. We first
made our way into the garnet. and up on
the new slate roof, which has just been I'm
ished at an expense of $1,000. We were
pleased with the appearance and apparent
substantiability of the roof, and with the
lovely views spread out before us a. we
gazed down from the summit Of the build
iag upon the housetops below, and upon the
hills and da,es, the winding ways Of creeks
and ravines. the beautiful river--with its
wide, rich valley at the foot Of the city
and the mountains west, and the high, beau
tiful country south Of the capital Of Texas.
While in the garnet of the Land Office, we
noticed that the number of rafters overhead
had been doubled in number, to give greater
and ample supporting power for the weighty
new roof. The Land Office is of the
medieval style of architecture, and
seems to have been built with the ultimate
intention of making it fire proof build
ing. Il is constructed OF native stone,
and the floors are of block stone laid, of
course, upon arches. The steps and stairs
are all of stone, even the narrow winding
stairs that lead to the roomy and musty
garnet above, which for years seems to have
been home for tame pigeons, bats, mar
tins and mice. The garnet seems TO have
been foored with cement and covered over
with dirt, the same probably resting upon
plank nailed to the joists. This, no doubt,
was to prevent the flames extending below
in case the shingle roof, just dispensed
with, had caught fire. The building is
ample in size, cool and convenient, and had
the Legislature last winter appropriated
$40, 900 in place of $4,000 for its COM
plete improvement it could have been
thoroughly repaired and made one OF the
most imposing and attractive buildings in
the State. As it is, the repairs and improve
ments will be meager. The slate roof has
cost $4,000; about $500 will be required for
iron shutters and doors, and for some gen.
eral repairs to the stairs, doors, windows,
ETC.. and SO but $4,000 is left for plastering
the inside and stuccoing the outside of the !
building, and the painting. Therefore,
the plastering will have to be done in patch
work style, possibly some rooms not even
though, fortunately, three or four
of them are not needing replastering very
badly; while it is probable sufficient money
will not be left after this to stucco the en-
tire outside of the building to say nothing
of painting and the urgent necessity for
good fence. The iron door and shut
ters, which we noticed had been delivered,
are intended tor the ''ile rooms" which it
Is intended shall be especially protected
against fire.

The CoMINe FAIR.-Mr. Rundell, who is

CURED OF KIssING.-There ia q gentle
man in this city who has several daughters,
and those daughters, like all young ladies,
are tolerably fond Of company and reason
ably fond Of kisses. Not long since one of
the daughters received a call from her
feller." BE had called many, many times
before, and the father had come to the nat
ural conclusion that the couple were get
ting little !" LOVING I'VE presume that
word comes as near filling the bill as any
other - so, as they stood at the gate, he
watched them from the shades of tree
near by. Presently he heard a noise, some
thing like pulling g cork out of bottle of
pop beer, and he concluded that the time
for charging upon them had come; but the
young man "lit out for town in first class
style. The father followed for few rods,
but finally fell over stump and run his
head into an old, cast-away tin bucket,
when, with q skinned shin and a sore
nose, he returned to the house. After
rubbing his nose with a tallow candle, and
winding half of an old pillow-slip around
one of his trotters, he called to him the en-
tire family, which numbered seven or
eight, when he ordered that each one
should march up in single file and kiss the
subject of this "reminiscences, which was
done in the most solemn manner. The girl,
for she is only about fourteen, says that
kissing is good thing, but that she don't
like to be crowded on it; and that if her
father falls over any moro stumps, or ever
runs his head through tin bucket, it will
be NO fault of hers, as she intends to pro-
coed with her counting in great caution here

A VISIT TO THE FAIR GROUNDS. visit
to the fair grounds on Wednesday evening
revealed the fact that there is no lag in the
construction of Improvements necessary fol-

men we met while there is evidence that
there is a growing interest In Austin in re-
gard to the important enterprise. The
track is nearly completed, and, per
haps, by the close of this week the
magnificent judges stand, the appearance
and dimensions of which the STATEsMAN
has before given, will be finished. The
lumber for the grand stand has been mostly
delivered, and the erection of the
building, which is to be three hundred
feet long, has already been commenced.
Some work has already been done on
the ladies' cottage building, and the
grand entrance, called Norton's Avenue,
has been opened up. On each side of this
magnificent, wide avenue the Jockey Club
Association have laid off some large and
desirable lots, which they will soon put in
the market. We are informed that in a few
days the contracts will be let for the cree

building of stables, pens, etc., for stock

there is effectual strength found only n
union, SO it is held, that in the science OF
bringing sinners to repentance and saliva
ton, victory over the enemy Of souls, Is
found in the united and persevering efforts
Of Christians of all names; in that while 1t
is the devils policy to divide, to weaken,
and to conquer, which is everywhere yisi-
Bile. So it is the policy of the Great Cap
tain of our salvation, to concentrate all his
forces into one grand invIncible army, who
shall individually and collectively look to
Him for the power to triumph.
On the first Sunday in September, at IL
A. NJ, there will be preachers prsyermeet-

Of the meeting, an opportunity will be
given 10 all who desire to connect themselves
with any branch or denomination of the

Room for the Hottentotsl Room!
Vengeance of God let them wreak!
Hither the suffers come,
Preaching the gospel Of cheek.
Hear the brass horns as they blow them!
Zee them, how blatant and bold
Rebels will now hardly know them,
But by their backs, as Of old.
Who Is their enemy? See HIM
Broken by manifold ILL.,
Death standing ready to free him
Weak, but gentleman still.
Once proud people crowned him.
Placed him In highest command;
Then the crazed victors bound him,
Lowest of all the land.
Never they bent or broke him,
Though they could fetter his frame;
Never his courage forsook him,
Never he stopped to shame.
Victory meier could elate him,
Never defeat overthrow,
Honor could easily safe him,
Strong was he under his woe.
Now, he is conquered. but standing
Upright before us all;
Still II his aspect commanding,
Proud and erect in his fall.
Nothing he mutters OF anger
Hate in his heart is not found;
Speaks but to rouse from their languor
Hearts that are bowed to the ground.
Howl at this man; but he hears not.
Hiss; but he does not care.
Threar en- and crrse; but he fears not.
Strike; but he bids you not spare.
Rail at the oak of the forest
Blast it with lightning and hail
Still, when the storm beats the sorest,
What does your anger avail
Howl but you never can move him,
Silent and calm and strong.
Here will his people love him,
Yonder will God judge his wrong.

THE INTERNATIONAL. = Mr.. Hart, en-
ployed at Capt. Millett's lumber yard, says
that while in Georgetown last Saturday he
met man just from Rockdale, who in
formed him that in Rockdale the rumor
was common that on the first Of October
the International Railroad Company would
commence to build the road to Austin.
The man also said that the company had
decided to build by Post Oak Island, on
the old survey, which would place the In
ternational and the Central within q few
miles Of each other. OF course, we cannot
vouch for the correctness Of the report, and
will have to leave the people free to enter
tain the hope or the doubt, as they see ct,
of getting another road to Austin the com
ing winter. We shall, however, be on the
lookout for reliable information upon the
subject.

which is abodt two feet, are n6w from four
to six feet high, and the workmen are
busy putting in the heavy iron CRATES for

ancos, the new Jail will be enclosed and
ready for occupancy by November. The

Saratoga was never fuller and gayer than
now, the correspondents say. Parlors, pi-
azzas, streets, all are full. All the hotels
complain of being overrun, and the Grand
Union certainly is, and for some time past
has been, turning people away. 0mnibusses
rattle up and unburden themselves at the
doors, nImble hall-boys fly round with
whisk-brooms in their hands, eager to brush
all the ten cent pieces out of your clothes;
shouts for porter and chambermaid echo
through chambers and corridors; curses on
the walters fizz out, hot and steamIng,
through the dining room windows, and in
strange cadenzas mingle with the music Of
Lander; the pool.room is piled high to the
ceiling VITA hippophagous humanity, and
even the springs are SO crowded that the
Dowager, this morning, only succeeded in
getting seven glassed aboard before the
surge that beloved up to the fountain
caught her upon its foaming creIt and
landed her, like huge butter-tub, high
and dry, on the top OF the sun-dial outside.
There she sat like a patient on monument,
smiling at lean people. Rivalry among the
hotels has ceased, and instead OF spending
their spare time in contriying how TO draw
people to them, the proprietors now meet
daily TO discuss in earnest council the best
means of driving them away. With the
proverbil ingenuity Of innkeepers, they
have already hit on some excellent devices
for doing it. But though rivalry among
the hotels may have ceased to exist, ir is by
no means extinct. among the guests. Each
prides himself or herself on having ut his
or her house more exclusive set than there
is at any other.

A BLACK LIsT.-Several butchers an
neunce by advertisement that they are going
to keep a blackboard at the market, and
place on it the names of those who are in
arrears to them for meat. There may be
true business policy in that, and then, again,
marketing should be done on a strictly cash
principle; indeed, that people dealing in
eatables of all kinds should not do a
credit business, for 1t is a universally
credit lose more or less by it. The world
over, honest people help to support the DIS
honest ones, and the credit system is Sc
we're afflicuon everywhere to those deserv-
ing the confidence of others, for while they
are willing to pay, there are many who are
not, and what is lost upon one class has to
be made up on another. In other words,
if everything was sold for cash and
there were noe losses, goods would
be sold at lower figures, many law
suits would be obviated, the ex-
penses of the government would be less
ened and much happiness would follow.
People who credit, generally understand
that it is an open question as to whether
they will get their pay or not when they
ask for it, and therefore when they begin
to despair of getting their dues they should
{" look fate in the face" with fortitude and
becoming resignation.
