In his late report, Mayor Wheeler says
1--WE should now resolve to pay as zoe go,
have nothing done unless we have the
money to pay for it." The story of sour
grapes would be good to apply to this pretty
little episode of the Mayor. The city has
already been run in debt about as much as
the law viii permit, and this thing of issu-
ing bonds is about played out. Pay as we
go ought to have been in his former mes

WE are glad to learn that there is to be
established here AZ an early date a beef
packisg establishment. tlIf. Mccoy, a
well known pOrkpacker Of St. Louis and
Kansas City, is now visiting our city with a
view to making the necessary initial steps
in this direction. The success Of the enter
prise is assured, and it is Communication
deyoutly to be wished" Instead of going
to Illinois, Missouri and Other distant States
for picked beef or pork aid Westphalia
and other choice canvased hams, and always
illustrating extreme folly and utter business
incapacity, why may we not preserve our
own meats and save enormous profits so
long paid into the Golfers of rich, rollick-
ing Western porkpackers. Upon the sue
cess Of such enterprises depend much Of
the ultimate good and early development of
our great State. When we remember the
exOrbitant freights and the profits to the
packers, handlers and tollmen, and the un-
told advantages to us, consequent upon
such schemes, Of money-making, we may
well congratulate ourselves upon the pleas
ing prospect in this direction.
RAILROAD IAFPRovEAIENTs.-T Pales-
tine people are rejoicing over the improve
meuts the International Railroad is max
ing at that place. A correspondent of the
Telegraph says;
On Saturday took walk with Capt
Hayes, vice president of the International
and Great Northern Railroad, over the
grounds Of the company, and looked at the
Improvements that are being made in the
shape of buildings and workshops, which
will add much to the prosperity of the
place. The site on which Mr.. Hoxie is
building his residence is very beautiful, and
over 500 feet above the level of the Gulf !;
in fact, within very few feet of the alti-
tude of the Capitol at Austin, and will COM
mand fine and extensive view from the
upper windows of his residence. The tenn
porary buildings erected for the officers of
the company will, no doubt, be pleasant
and convenient.
We hope the day is not distant when the
same railroad will be doing something in
the building line in this city. Within the
next year or two we hope to see some mag
nihcent depot buildings, machine shops,
ETC., grace this city.

INDIAN FIeHT.-MajOr Jones, of the from
tier battalion, and five of his men arrived
in the city Thursday evening, bringing
many trophies of fight the rangers had
with the Indians on the eighth instant at
Lost Valley, in Jack county. The Major
and his brave men surprised six or seven
Indians, all being killed but one or two.
One Of those killed was a squaw. The tro-
phies, which are at Mr.. Wells's ghnsmith
store, consist of bow and arrows, a shield,
q saddle, breastplates. beads, and a number
Of scalps, one of which is that of a white
woman. The Indians were armed with
government pieces. Major Jones, with 200
good Texans, could do more good on the
Indian frontier than all the Federal soldiers
now in Texas.

WE learn with satisfaction that some en-
terprising men from the North, possessing
both experience and capital, propose to
establish mammoth hennery in the vicini-
ty of our city. 1t Will cover four acres,
which are to be laid out like village with
streets and avenues, along which long rows
of Matching and roosting houses, for in
Vulnerable dame partlets, are to be built.
The feathered population will number way
up in the two thousands. The settlement
is expected to turn out about one hundred
dozen of eggs daily, which will sell for
fifteen to thirty cents per dozen in Austin.
The price paid for spring chickens win also
assist these energetic projectors il rolling
up a handsome fortune. There is no better
field than Austin for the display of intelli-
gent and energetic enterprise sif'

an extensive sale Their great popularity
is mainly due to the scrupulous manner in

RAN.-This section was visited on Mon
day night with another fine rain, which is
an additional assurance for fine crop.
Certainly we are having very fine season,
and everything is truly encouraging to
farmers and the State. A gentleman who
arrived from Bolton yesterday says that
that section of the State was also visited
by copious rain Monday night, and that
crops are growing iuely in Bell and Will
hanson counties. People from over the
river also boast of fine rain there, so we
infer that the rain has been general.

with straps at top and bottom. When
the horses are brought into the stable at
night they should be Immediately washed
and rubbed with wisp of hay until the
circulation 10 active. Then put on the
leggmgs, feed the teams, and you may 60
to supper with . consciousness. that the
teams are not suffering. Your supper
eaten you will have but little difficulty
in rendering the teams comfortable for
the night by a little additional rubbing.
II this plan were adopted we should
advise by all means not shearing the
heels a. closely as though they had been
shaved, but thinning the long hair of the
fetlocks fully one-half and shortening
the remainder in the same proportion.
The reason is simple: it will save much
time in cleaning.
There is one thing more in this con-
nection to be mentioned: In winter and
during the spring no teams should be al
lowed to stand with seven legs wet and
unprotected while one is being cleaned.
If the hair be long, while six are being
dried the other two will have dried
themselves or nearly SO. This team will
have received all the injury possible and
the others proportionate amount. If,
Oh the other hand, the hair is short they
will have become more quickly chilled.
So there is danger in any event. Hence,
after considerable experiment, we decid
ed upon leggings for our own stable
many years since and found the plan to
work well, especially for the heels Of
horses the hair of which was rather
short.
A vicious practice, and one that
will be remembered in the hereafter
If there is "horse- heaven" is the
plan, still persisted in by many, of giving
the horses continued doses of salts, or
other medicines, under the notion that
humors generate during the winter and
must be purged out. Some, whose hairs
are gray enough, probably remember the
spring. dosing that they % children had
to undergo, to the same supposed end
to get the humors out of the blood. It
pretty effectually contracted an ill-humor
in the poor, heart-broken urchins and
lassies who were obliged to swallow the
uauseous doses. And for what end we're
they given? Well, we used to think, to
crafty the malignancy or stupidity of
some snuffy old medical granny. How
ever, intelligence is progressive, and
men and women are better for it; and so,
pray, don't dose your horse because his
coat looks little rough in the spring.
1t is the natural consequence of the
season. Remember, horse may carry
much robust health under a rough ex-
terior.-FToan the Farm and Garden" in

This would soon accumulate, and bring
with it the dawn of independence. Con-
trast this state of things with the specta-
Gle which meets our eyes when some
strike takes place. Workingmen who
for years have been enjoying the bene-
fits of regular employment are then
found, after the first weeks cessation of
labor, to be penniless. The folly of ex-
travagance is most to be deplored in the
case Of those who have to earn their sub.
sistence by laborious work, and is, in
fact, wholly inexcusable. Much misery
and poverty might be prevented by the
very simple expedient of counting the
cost before rushing into unnecessary ex-
pense. 1t is quite true that many work
ingmen earn comparatively small sums,
and that the cost of living is much great
er than some few years back; still it is
conclusively shown by the records of
provident societies that there Is q clear

The shell of an egg is porous and the
oxygen of the air goes through the shell
and keeps up kind of respiration. An
dry air charged with carbonic acid.
Eggs may be dried and made to retain
their goodness for long time; or the
shell may he vanished, which excludes
the air, and then if kept in a moderate
temperature they may be kept good for
years. French peultry-raisers are very
successful and ship millions of eggs to
England annually. Fresh eggs are more
transparent at the center, old ones at the
top. Very old ones are not transparent
in either place. In water in which one
tenth of salt has been dissolved good
eggs sink and Indifferent ones swim.
Bad eggs float in pure water.
Beef Callops.-Have two pounds of
rump steak cut into very thin slices and
inches long and two wide; beat with the
blade of knife and dredge with flour;
put them in a frying pan with little
butter or clarified beef-dripping and let
them fry for about three minutes, then
lay them in q small stew-pan and pour
over them the melted butter and one
half pint of gravy or of hot water. Add
a teaspoonful of butter rubbed in with
three teaspoonfuls of flour, salt and pep

or one-half dozen picked nasturtiums
and afinely-minced onion if liked. Let
the whole simmer but not boil for fifteen

Novel Way of Making Jelly Cake
white sugar, same of flour, tablespoon
butter, two tablespoons sweet milk, two

with the exception of using the yolks in
stead of the whites; when both are done,

you, and roll Immediately; or cut in four
or eight parts, put together alternately,
putting jelly between each layer, and
frost lightly over the top. Another
method is to make three pans, making
the third layer of one-third red sand
sugar, filling the cup with white sugar,
using the eggs and proceeding the same
as for the other layers. In putting to-

Disaster to q DebutQnte,

The Washington correspondent of the
Rochester Er7ress gives the following It'd
bit to the world: "a most laughable in
cident occurred at an amateur musical
entertainment the other evening. Mdlle.
Blank was to make her debut as a cantG-
trice. 1t had been the theme of Mrs.
Grundy's conversation for weeks. Ex-
pectation was at q fever heat. Finally
the night came, and with it high-toned
audience Of several hundred. The first
part of the programme passed off salts
factorily, and now comes our fair debu-
tante to the foot-lights with the grace of q
queen and the ease of professional.
She warbled the first stanZa like Nils
son. The accompanist struck up the in
terlude, and of course this was the time
when the fair singer should raise her
']ace-kerchief to her face. With a regal
curve of her left arm she did 80, her eyes
fixed on the admiring audience, when,
HORRIBLE dictu! most delicatcly con-
structed silk stocking displayed itself In
wavy folds. 1t seems that her maid in
her excitement had placed stocking in
the place where the other article ought
to be, and hence her ludicrous mistake.
She stood transfixed, resembling an auc-
tioneer of hosiery at bankrupt sale.
The audience roaIed. The buttons few
and stalwart men grasped their sides in
fearful agony. Fashionable ladies forgot
their propriety and just screeched. OF
course the best thing under the circum-
stances for Mdlle. Blank to do was to
faint. She did it as we'll as Clara Morris
could. Up rushed Senator -; he
seized a pitcher of water and soused
the PROSTATE form of the unfortunate
singer. This had the desired effect, and
so it would on any female when her $500
dress was ruined. With whizzing sound
she left the platform; the entertainment
was ended and the streets we're lined
with laughing hyenas. To witness such
a scene again will 60 the same price of
admission and raise it two better. I re-
greet to say that the fair de6utante is not
dead, but has removed to the solitudes
of Alexandria,"

THE FAMILY MEETING.
We're all here!
Father, mother,

We're all here!
Father, mother,
Sister, brother,
All who hold each other dear.
Each chair is filled-we're all at home
Tonight, let no cold stranger come,
1t is not often thus around
Our familiar hearth we're found.
Bless, then, the meeting and the spot;
For once be every care forgot;
Let gentle Peace assert her power,
And kind affection rule the hour;
We're all-an here.
We're not all here!
Some are away-the dead ones dear,
who thronged with us this ancient hearth
And gave the hour to guileless mirth;
Fate, with stern, relentless hand,
Looked in and thinned our little band;
Some like night flash passed away,
And some sank, lingering, day by day;
The quiet gravcyard-some lie there
We're not all here.
We're not all here!
Even they-the dead-though dear, SO dear
Fond Memory, to their duty true,
Brings back their faded forms to view.
How life-like, through the mist of years,
Each well-remembered face appears!
We see them as in times long past;
From each to each kind looks are cast;
We hear their words, their smiles behold,
They're round us as they were of old
We are all here.
We are all here!
Father, mother,
Sister, brother,
You that love with love so dear.
This may not long of us be said,
Soon we must join the gathered dead,
And by the hearth we now sit round
Some other circle viii be found.
Oh, then, that wisdom may we know,
Which yields life Of peace below!
So, in the world to follow this,
May each repeat, in words of bliss,
We're all-all here!
